Chapter 260
The aunt said her husband's family name was Cui, so the others in Nanzhi called her Aunt Cui.
Aunt Cui is forty-four years old. She looks thin but has a lot of strength.
She was not too vague when it came to doing the work. Nanzhi and Uncle Heping looked at each other and asked her to stay and work. She usually only washed the dishes and could rest aside when there was no work to do.
The monthly payment of 800 Wen per month allows you to take two days off. If you don't take a break for a month, you will receive an additional 200 Wen. The restaurant will provide you with two meals a day to share with everyone.
"Aunt Cui, can you do this job?"
After hearing this, Aunt Cui nodded repeatedly, fearing that she would miss such an opportunity: "I can do it, I can do it!"
Nanzhi nodded and asked again: "Is your home far from here? If it's inconvenient to live far away, I can clean up a room in the backyard for you."
After hearing this, Aunt Cui's eyes lit up, then quickly dimmed, she shook her head slightly and said, "No, no need, Master, I'd better go home and live."
Nanzhi hesitated for a moment and finally didn’t ask any more questions. After all, every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite, and it was not appropriate for her to be an outsider.
"Then boss, how long will it take for me to start work? Do you need me to clean up today?"
Aunt Cui said hurriedly.
"It's not necessary today. Our restaurant won't open until the 15th. You can have a good rest at home these two days." Nanzhi suggested.
"I, I can clean up the dishes, tables and chairs. I don't need any wages, as long as I have food to eat these two days." Aunt Cui was a little nervous when she said this, as if she was afraid that Nanzhi would refuse, and she held her washed hair tightly with both hands. Nan Zhi couldn't bear to see Bai's clothes.
Aunt Cui looked very much like she did when she fled the famine two years ago, or in other words, exactly the same as when she first arrived in Lihua Village.
The cheeks are sunken, the cheekbones are protruding, and the face is pale and sallow.
It's hungry.
However, Aunt Cui is better than she was before. She can at least eat something every day like this, so she still has such great strength when she tried the work just now.
"Aunt Cui, just help clean the kitchen in the restaurant these two days. We have a cook here, so you can help wash the vegetables and wash the dishes. I will still give you twenty cents every day. What do you think? Sample?"
"Thank you very much, my employer. Thank you very much, my employer."
Aunt Cui's eyes were full of joy, and she was so excited that she almost shed tears.
If she finds a job, she can at least bring money back to her family.
Although it’s not much, you don’t have to go hungry anymore.
The daughter-in-law will not beat her again.
Nanzhi gave some money to Uncle Ping and asked him to take charge of the daily meal pricing, while Xu Chou did the purchasing himself.
Everyone's meals every day consisted of five dishes and one soup, and two of the dishes were contaminated with meat. Although we couldn't eat as much meat as we did in the first two days, we still ate better than at home.
From time to time, Xu Chou would spend a penny to buy two big bones and bring them back to make soup. Nanzhi also let Xu Chou use some spices mixed with cumin to cook, so Xu Chou learned to buy some meat and bring them back for stir-fry, so For them, the food here is pretty good.
Everything went smoothly. The plaque was delivered by the two Lin brothers at noon on the 14th, and the menu was all set. Although there were some small snags in the procurement at the beginning, they were all resolved in the end.
"Fat, sister, look at this plaque!" Lin Yicheng opened his mouth to call Fat Ya, but managed to hold it back before the word "Y" came out.
Now that my sister is the owner of a restaurant, she can't yell "Fat Ya Ya Ya" in front of outsiders, otherwise she will lose her prestige.
An Wazi stood aside in a daze and was about to say that the boss was not fat, but Lin Xiaoquan covered his mouth.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" An Wazi struggled twice but to no avail, and gave up the struggle in frustration.
"Big brother and second brother, come in quickly, come in quickly." Nanzhi did not reprimand the two and a half-year-old boys, but just greeted the two of them to come in.
Because the original decoration of Baiweizhai was a bit too elegant, although she was reluctant to part with it, Nanzhi still gritted her teeth and had those simple and elegant decorations put away.
The lobby now looked more open and bright, and the two brothers Lin Yicheng and Lin Ercheng were a little surprised when they looked at it.
"Nanzhi, with the harvest in your lobby, isn't it too simple?" Lin Yicheng pointed to the tables and chairs beside him.
He remembered that when he came to see the restaurant, there was a bookshelf there, and there were many things that literati liked on it.
Although he didn't quite understand why those things were placed in the dining area, the scholars in Yancheng probably liked them.
But why did Fat Ya collect all those things and put them all on the table?
"It's more spacious this way. If there are more tables, wouldn't there be more people who can sit down?" Nanzhi said with a smile.
"You are smart." Lin Ercheng wanted to rub her head like he did when he was a child, but stopped. After all, they are both adults now.
"Of course, your sister is the smartest!" Nanzhi giggled and took them to the backyard again.
Neither Lin brothers reacted when they saw the oven.
What is the purpose of this long stove?
"This is a stove for skewers." Nanzhi pointed to the iron rods on it, and Lin Ercheng nodded.
Earlier, my sister said that she wanted to order some bamboo sticks in the shop, and my father also said that the family didn't need any money. As a result, the fat girl ordered two large bamboo sticks, which almost cut off their hands.
After looking around and seeing no one around, Lin Yicheng spoke with some trepidation: "But Fatty, the sign you want is so long, is it possible that everyone eats the food on the sign in front of so many people in the lobby? Can’t do it?”
Although they, the old men, are not particular about anything, after all, Yancheng is full of scholars, and there are always girls coming to the restaurant. There cannot be any girl sitting there eating with her mouth wide open. If anyone sees her, she will be laughed at. .
"Although the sticks are long, they are all skewered with vegetables. The guests won't say anything, but the dishes will be served on the plate. If any guests think it is unsightly to eat directly, the waiter will help them divide the dishes."
"That's okay, but have you bought the firecrackers and red silk? I have to light firecrackers when we open tomorrow."
"I bought it and it's already in the warehouse."
"As long as you are ready, have you sent out the invitations as well?"
Lin Ercheng reminded.
"Send it, give it away, everyone knows."
"That's okay, that's okay."
"Look at this plaque. My father specially invited Master Du to write it. My father also asked us to send invitations to both Masters. I have to tell you."
"I know, it's my fault for forgetting that there are two other wives." Nanzhi blushed slightly. She said she wanted to have a good relationship with her child's teacher, but she forgot about it.
"But Master Du's calligraphy is really beautiful!" Nanzhi sighed as he looked at the words on the plaque.
She doesn't know how to write, even her own words are written like a dog crawling, but this Master Du's handwriting is indeed beautiful, vigorous and powerful, and he is worthy of being a master.
"This plaque is also well engraved. Otherwise, if the technology is not up to standard, no matter how good the calligraphy is, it will not be able to engrave such character."
Lin Yicheng and Lin Ercheng nodded proudly.
Their carpentry skills are indeed getting better and better nowadays.
