Chapter 259
The taste of the mutton skewers was highly praised by everyone. Even Uncle Ping took a bite of it and savored the taste.
Looking at their surprised looks, Nanzhi said it was all lies if he said he was unhappy.
She had never done any big business before, and she thought she would just find a job after college and spend her life in an ordinary way, but she didn't want to be able to wear a book.
Although my life has been a bit too twists and turns, after all, I am now on the right track.
She didn't dare to think about what would have happened if she hadn't taken a part-time job at a food stall, or if her master hadn't picked up this craft because he felt sorry for her.
What will she be doing now?
"Master, our restaurant's menu hasn't been decided yet! There must also be two handymen and dishwashers." Wang Sheng hesitated for a moment before reminding him.
After all, the owner doesn't look like he has done business. He forgot some things. It would be nice if he could remind him more.
"We'll just put up a notice for the dishwashing boy later, and just recruit the two aunties to come back." Nanzhi said with a smile, "The menu is slowly being decided. I'll have someone go and notify Master Lu. Tomorrow Let him come to the restaurant and we have to try the dishes. These mutton skewers sell for three pennies a skewer, what do you think?"
"Sanwen?"
Several people looked at each other hesitantly. Although the mutton is expensive, you can eat a bowl of noodles for five cents. Is it too expensive for a skewer of mutton to cost three cents?
"Is it too much or too little?" Nanzhi asked, looking at their entangled expressions.
A pound of mutton can be skewered for thirty to forty skewers according to her weight. Selling it for three cents per skewer is neither expensive nor cheap.
"It's a little expensive, but this mutton is already expensive, so there's nothing to say about it." Zhang Yun scratched his head and said honestly.
His current day's wages are only sixty coppers, and in exchange for these mutton skewers, he can only buy twenty skewers.
Although it was delicious, he still felt that it was not worth it.
"I think it's not bad. After all, this is mutton! But it tastes pretty good. It wouldn't be a big deal for me to eat two skewers."
Liu Da on the side said.
Although he is twenty-one years old, he has not yet married a wife. His parents have no shortage of food and clothing and don't care much about him. Naturally, he can feed himself and the whole family is not hungry, so he doesn't have so many worries.
"We also have other vegetables that can be grilled. Potatoes and dried tofu are only one penny per skewer, and pork is only two cents per skewer. It's not that expensive."
Nanzhi actually thought about it from the beginning. After setting up the stove, he would bring all the dishes available in the food stall.
But after all, the things here are limited. The only things I can think of roasting are potatoes and green peppers.
Even counting the dried tofu, there are only ten kinds of vegetarian dishes.
Especially lotus root. The price of lotus root here can be sold for six cents per catty, which works out to one cent per bunch. Basically, the only way to make a profit is by making small profits but quick turnover.
"It's quite cheap to pay a penny for a string." Wang Sheng nodded. He has already married and lives in a restaurant just for convenience. From now on, he will always go home to visit every now and then. If he pays a penny for a string, it would take a whole day. The wages can also give everyone in the family a taste.
When a new store opens, it always needs to invite some guests. In the end, Nanzhi couldn't figure out which one to invite.
After holding it in for half an hour, Nanzhi only managed to write out five pieces.
This still includes the own family and Shen Miaomiao's family.
The other three pictures were of Liu Jie from the county government, Lin Fu, the owner of Buzhuang, and Shen Miaomiao's uncle's family.
Looking at the five invitations, Uncle Ping fell silent again.
The word "own boss" is really ugly.
In the end, she was really worried that people wouldn't understand it, so Uncle Ping wrote five more letters for her.
When he asked Liu Da to send the invitations, it was a little strange to see Nanzhi put two letters aside.
"Master, do you want to send it yourself?"
"No, no, this is the invitation from Miaomiao and I. We can just take it back later." Nanzhi waved his hand and said with a smile.
"..."
Uncle Ping was speechless.
"I really can't figure out who else to invite, so I'm just going to join in the fun." Nanzhi laughed.
She really didn't know many people, and if she didn't think it would be weird to open the business without inviting guests, she really didn't want to go through the trouble.
"If the boss really doesn't know who to invite, then Hu San from the dental shop can also be invited." Uncle Ping reminded.
"Hu San is from the dental shop, and we always come into contact when doing business. But I think he should be an acquaintance with the two bosses. It will be easier to do things after inviting him over."
"That's true. Uncle Ping, please help me write him a letter too."
After thinking about it, Nanzhi suddenly remembered another person, Wang Jingzhi, who was still an apprentice at Jihe Hall.
Although he has never met him since he came to Yancheng, he is still an acquaintance after all.
Uncle Ping wrote two more invitations in succession and asked Liu Da to send them together.
Immediately afterwards, he wrote a piece of red recruiting paper and posted it outside the restaurant.
One is to hire a woman who washes dishes and does odd jobs. The salary is 800 yuan a month, including two meals and two days off per month.
The second is a small kitchen worker, who does some vegetable cutting and miscellaneous work. The salary is one tael of silver and two coins a month, including two meals and accommodation, and four days off per month.
The red paper was posted outside the restaurant, attracting many people to watch. They all said that Baiweizhai had been closed for more than a month, so why did it look like it was about to reopen?
Some people discussed this matter and others naturally took it to heart.
The next morning, as soon as Nanzhi arrived outside the restaurant, he saw a woman sitting at the door of the restaurant.
"Auntie? Auntie?" Nanzhi gently pushed the aunt's shoulder and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her reaction.
At least it's a living person.
"What?" The aunt rubbed her eyes and saw a little girl standing next to her, then she said, "Little girl, are you calling me?"
"Mom, what are you doing sitting here?"
"I'm here to look for work. Yesterday my daughter-in-law said they were hiring people here." The lady rubbed her legs, which were stiff from the cold, and slowly got up.
Only then did Nanzhi see the aunt's face clearly. She looked like she was in her forties. Her face was pale, and the flesh on her cheeks was all skinny. Her cheekbones were a bit high. When she looked at herself, she tried to smile, a little... Scary.
"Madam, please stand aside and I'll ask someone to open the door. You go inside and sit and wait."
The aunt was obviously stunned when she heard what she said, not understanding what she meant.
It took a long while before he moved some steps away.
When Nanzhi saw her standing aside, he looked at the door. Wang Sheng heard the noise and quickly removed the door panel, "My boss."
"Remove a few more door panels today." After Nanzhi finished speaking, he waved to the aunt on the side.
"Auntie, please go in. It's too early now. We'll try the work later."
The aunt was still a little confused when she heard the people in the restaurant calling Nan Zhidong's house. Seeing her calling her in again, she felt a little at a loss for a moment.
In the end, Wang Sheng unloaded three more boards, and when he saw that she still refused to go in, he persuaded her again.
"Auntie, if you are looking for a job, please go in and sit down for a while. Our boss will start working on it in a while."
"Hey, eh, okay." The lady nodded quickly and then walked in the door.
