153 The Wonderful Times in the Pas (1/2)

Xiao Luo and Li Zimeng sat at the guest bench in front of the store entrance and drank their hot tea.

After serving the customers, Sun Jiannan walked over enthusiastically and asked with a courteous smile: ”President Xiao, do you have any constructive advice for our work?”

If he maintained a suspicious attitude towards Xiao Luo before, he now trusts Xiao Luo's leadership 100%. If Xiao Luo didn't have the skills, the Luo Workshop wouldn't have been able to get back on its feet in such a short time; even the old President of the Taste Buds, Fang Changlei, lost to Xiao Luo. The young man's ability made him feel as if Xiao Luo was like a god standing above mankind.

”I only have one advice.”

Xiao Luo smiled and turned his head to look at Li ZImeng beside him, ”it's also a request for the storefront owner.”

Li Zimeng quickly pulled out some paper and a pen to carefully record Xiao Luo's next words so that she can bring it up to all storefronts.

”The owner needs to learn how to manage the store with 5S theory.” Xiao Luo said.

5S theory?

Sun Jiannan looked at him dumbfounded, and Li Zimeng also expressed confusion.

Xiao Luo chuckled and said: ”5S is organization, regulation, cleaning, sanitization and quality control. Organization means to clearly organize pastries based on their shelf life, and anything that is about to expire must not be placed on the product rack and disposed of as soon as possible. Regulation means to always keep everything in the store neatly, properly labeled with name and stock. You must also be able to make three confirmations: naming every item, maintain an inventory, and place the items properly. Cleaning means to clean the store of all dirt and dust, preventing any contamination…”

As Xiao Luo was giving his lecture to Sun Jiannan and Li Zimeng on the 5S theory, two other girls entered the store to shop for pastries.

They were dressed fashionably with a good figure; one of them had slightly curled hair and looked quite energetic. The other didn't look too well and had a pale face, but her sweet appearance was enough to make many young men swoon.

”Mengqi, your surgery wound hasn't healed yet. The Doctor said you need to be extra careful.” The girl with slight curls reminded the other girl.

It was Ma Linger and Zhao Mengqi!

Zhao Mengqi shook her head: ”Don't worry, I gained some appetite the moment I smelled fresh bread from the oven. Let's go check out inside.”

Ma Linger pressed her lips down: ”Even if you have an appetite you can't eat them, you can only have some light porridge right now.”

”If I can't eat then I'll just go inside for the smell, I'll be happy to just smell fresh bread.” Zhao Mengqi laughed.

”I…alright, I guess I can't help it.”

Ma Linger made a concession, ”But you can only smell it!”

”Okay....”

Zhao Mengqi nodded.

The two walked inside the store and was immediately greeted by a scene of full unique bread and pastries; soft French bread, small roll cakes, shredded bread, pudding, swiss rolls, etc… Everything in the store brings up an appetite and even made Ma Linger, who wasn't hungry earlier, swallow her own saliva.

”Look at you drool over them, if you want some then just buy it!” Zhao Mengqi gave her a glance.

Ma Linger waved her hand and said sternly: ”I can't, in order to maintain my body right now I refuse to eat high-calorie foods like these.”

”I used to eat these all the time, and I didn't gain weight.” Zhao Mengqi said.

The beam on her face immediately dimmed down after she finished. Even though she ate bread a lot in the past, it was because Xiao Luo bought them for her. She could clearly remember one time where she visited a Luo Workshop bakery with Xiao Luo only to find herself with only a few Yuans on hand and could only split a large shredded bread together.
