Farming Beneath the Changbai Mountains
Chapter 162 Matchmaker
The business of the restaurant is really good now. It has the reputation of the county magistrate and the food is really good. Basically, those who have been here once are willing to come again. He who spreads the word to ten and spreads it to hundreds becomes famous. Nowadays, many people in the county are willing to come here if they want to have some entertainment or something.
At the end of the month, shopkeeper Chen took the accounts and reconciled them with Jinghan. "Second Miss, our business is pretty good this month. However, the initial investment is too large, so at present, the net profit on the book is only one hundred and thirty taels. However, there are many things that we won't need to buy in the future. , it will be much better next month.”
Jinghan took the account and looked at it carefully, and what she told shopkeeper Chen was right. "That's good. I didn't even expect to make a profit in the first month. The business of our restaurant is so good, it all depends on the big guys. Well, in addition to regular wages, the two chefs Each person will be rewarded with two taels of silver. The rest, regardless of whether they are assistants or apprentices, will be rewarded with one tael each, and the old shopkeeper is also given two taels. It’s just a small reward from me. As long as we work well, we will benefit from it in the future.” Jinghan knew that no matter what time, she had to treat these workers better. If they work for you seriously, say nothing else, and waste less things, they will not get more than this twenty taels of silver a month.
"Hey, I have to thank the second lady. The old man has been a shopkeeper all his life, and it is really rare for someone like the second lady to be like him. Now, those little monkey cubs, can't they be so happy that they can jump to the sky? Okay, then I But I gave everyone three months’ wages and rewards, which made them all happy.” The old shopkeeper smiled and walked away with the account book.
Not long after, I heard a shout from the front. I guess it was the old shopkeeper who paid the wages. Can you guys be unhappy when you see the reward? Especially those young apprentices, they are in charge of food and housing here, and they can also get a reward of one or two silver coins. No other company has this rule.
Fortunately, it was morning and there were no customers in the restaurant yet. Otherwise, why don’t we scare people away? Jinghan smiled and shook her head.
"Jinghan, can you do this? We didn't make much money originally, but now we took out another twenty taels." Mrs. Zhu came in from outside and said worriedly.
"Third Aunt, when people work hard for us, we have to show some expression. Listen to their excitement, can't they work for us properly in the future? As long as they are willing to work hard, they can help in everything. Let's think about it and treat this place as their own home. Let alone twenty taels, I would be willing to pay even fifty taels. Third Aunt, you have been in the restaurant business before, and there are too many ways for them to do it. When we go shopping, we can be completely considerate. If the things we buy are good and cheap, we can save a lot of money. Moreover, we can consider the materials used and not waste them. This is not the case here. Can I save some money? I would rather give it to them and make everyone happy than waste all our money invisible. "Auntie Jing, is that right?" Speak slowly to Mrs. Zhu. These are all things Jinghan has been thinking about for a while.
Zhu was not stupid. When she heard what Jinghan said and thought about it carefully, she figured it out. "That's right. You and I are the only ones watching this restaurant. There are some things that we can't see at all. If they can treat this as their own home, then even if we are not here, Don't worry about anything happening. Okay, this is the right thing to do, my aunt is really old, she didn't think of these things at all." Zhu couldn't help but sigh, it would be great if Jinghan was a boy.
Before the two of them finished speaking, Master Qian and Master Gao came over from the front. On weekdays, Zhu and Jinghan were the first to enter the main room in the courtyard behind the restaurant, so that if something happened in front, it would be easier for people to find them.
"Third Wife, Second Miss, we are here to thank you both on behalf of us. We have stayed in many places before, but we have never seen anyone as generous as ours. Don't worry, you two. From now on, this Xi Luck Lai will be our big guy's home. If he dares to do harm to our restaurant, we will not let him go." Master Gao's face was filled with gratitude. Two taels of silver is not much, but it can show the Xu family's character. If you follow a family like this, you will never suffer a loss in the future.
"Two masters, we are a family to begin with. As long as the business of our restaurant continues to be good, your benefits will be indispensable in the future. Work hard here, this is not only the Xu family's, but also yours. As long as we all share the same goal I think if you work hard in one place, you can make more money. You can rest assured that if you have me, you will have the same." Jinghan had to say some words of encouragement to everyone. When the two masters heard this, they were all excited. He said he would do well.
"Okay, it looks like it's almost noon now. Maybe someone will come soon. Let's go get ready, two masters." Jinghan smiled and waved her hands, and the two masters hurried back to the front.
The two masters went out to do their work, and Jinghan and Zhu were chatting in the room. Before they could say a few words, someone else came in from outside. Jinghan looked up and saw that it was Jingya, "Sister, why are you here? You are inconvenient now, so you can't run around everywhere. Bai Wei, Bai He, you two don't know how to stop them. If the eldest sister does something wrong, it will be strange if I don't deal with you two." Jinghan quickly helped the eldest sister to sit on the big kang in the back room.
Bai Wei on the side pouted and said, "Second Miss, you should advise our young mistress. She is feeling better these days and doesn't vomit so much. She has to go out for a walk, saying that it is not good to be at home all the time. What are you doing, slaves? The trick is, why don’t we follow wherever the young mistress tells her to go?”
Jinghan understood that this girl was telling the truth. If the master wanted to go out, they could not stop him. Looking back at the eldest sister, Jingya, who was already four months pregnant, had basically no change in appearance. She still has a pink and white peach face, and her complexion is much stronger than it was a while ago. Her belly is not too obvious now, but her previous slender waist is gone, and her whole person seems to have an indescribable charm.
"Sister, it would be good for you to move around more on weekdays, but you can't come out often. It's still too chaotic outside. It's not a joke if something goes wrong. The eldest brother-in-law is the only child in the family, and you are pregnant with The golden grandson of the Yue family, Uncle Yue and Auntie Yue have been looking forward to it for a long time, so there can't be any mistakes." Jinghan opened his mouth to persuade Jingya.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, and I'm a little panicked. Besides, Pengcheng is not at home during the day, so I don't feel like staying at home by myself. The weather is nice today, so I just wanted to come over and have a look. Since this restaurant opened, I I've never been here before. Don't worry, I'll take good care of it. This is my baby. How can I let him have an accident?" Jingya reached out and touched her belly, her face full of happiness and joy.
Jinghan didn't know what to say. Anyway, her eldest sister always dealt with things calmly and was much better than herself. "By the way, eldest sister, do you have enough silver over there? If not, get some from me. Are you eating alone now? Two people make up for it. Don't be careless. You can eat whatever you want, don't worry. What, this is my nephew, I must take good care of him."
"Why should I get any money from you? When I was leaving after the new year, my mother-in-law secretly gave me five hundred taels, and then my father-in-law secretly gave Pengcheng three hundred taels. This old couple , talking about family rules and so on, but secretly, they didn't give us any money. They sent people to deliver many things a few days ago. Everything we need to live at home is very complete, so we don't have to spend any money. Ah? You should keep your money in the bottom of the box. You won't be too far away from getting married." Jingya smiled and told the story about her family. Ever since she knew she was pregnant, the old couple in the Yue family have been busy. Overtly and covertly filling this place.
Jinghan curled her lips secretly. When Yue Siyuan separated Yue Pengcheng, it was just a name. The rules of our ancestors are difficult for future generations to break, so we clearly separate Pengcheng and Jingya, and then secretly supplement them. Isn't this still the same? But it was the eldest sister who lived up to her expectations and became pregnant within three months of her arrival. The eyes of this old couple were red as they were looking forward to their grandson for a long time. It was strange that they couldn't hold the eldest sister in their hands now. That's fine. In the past, I was worried that my eldest sister and my eldest brother-in-law would not have a good life in the future. It seems that there is no need to worry anymore.
"Sister, let's eat here at noon. I'll ask the master chef to cook us two dishes. You can also try our chef's cooking." Since Jingya is here, of course she can't let them go back too quickly. "Let's eat here before leaving in the evening. My eldest brother-in-law will come over to pick you up. I'm making clothes for my eldest brother and Zixuan right now. There are some things I still don't understand. Please teach me." This is just an excuse. With Mrs. Zhu here, what else can she not do with needlework?
Jingya also understood, so she agreed, and Zhu got up and went to the front to prepare some food. As soon as he opened the door, before he could go out, he saw Guoxing leading a woman towards him.
"Guoxing, who is this?" Zhu asked quickly. The woman who came was about thirty-five or sixty years old, and she was pretty good-looking. Unfortunately, the makeup on her face was half an inch thick. It's pink and snowy white, and the rouge on her mouth is bright red, which looks awkward. The clothes he was wearing were also bright red with large flowers embroidered on them, making him look so vulgar.
Before Guoxing could speak, the woman spoke first. "Hey, Mrs. Xu Jiasan, I'm here to congratulate you." As he said that, he also raised a pink handkerchief in his hand. Just as the spring breeze blew by, a strong scent of powder came over the veil.
Of course, Mrs. Zhu smelled the fragrance and almost choked. He held his breath, paused for a while, and then said, "Sister-in-law, don't you know about the happy event coming from my family?" As soon as Zhu saw this person's behavior, she knew she was a matchmaker. However, the Xu family has not been in the county for long. Besides, except for Jingwan, all the children of the right age have been married. Jingwan has never been to the county before, so it's impossible for anyone to marry her?
