Chapter 286 Every family has its own sutras that are difficult to recite
April 15th.
It happened that a guest had booked a banquet that day, so Nanzhi vacated the largest box on the second floor with a wave of his hand.
The guest who had originally reserved a small table because he didn't have enough money was stunned for a long time when he saw the box.
He was so anxious that he only booked a table for one tael and one tael. How could there be such a big room?
While he was full of doubts, he could only smile and take care of the guests to their seats.
This banquet is for old friends from many years ago.
My friend is not from Yancheng. He wrote a letter a month ago, saying that he would come to Yancheng for business and visit them by the way. But a few days ago, his mother was ill and the family's money had already been spent.
It happened that this friend had helped him a lot in the past, so he asked about the price of the banquet at Sanweiju early.
After his friend took his seat, he took the uneasiness in his heart and went outside the box to ask the waiter.
Because it was the first day that the private rooms on the second floor were open, especially because there was a table reserved in advance, Nanzhi and Shen Miaomiao felt a little uneasy, and they were both standing on the second floor looking over there.
Seeing someone coming out, the hands held by the two little girls were a little sweaty.
"Sir, is there anything you are dissatisfied with?" Although Shen Miaomiao felt anxious, she had been the boss for a month and did not show it.
The man was about thirty years old. He had met Shen Miaomiao when he came to make a reservation. He knew that the owners of Sanweiju were two girls. When he saw Shen Miaomiao and Nanzhi here, he just asked .
"Did you make a mistake? I only reserved a table for one tael and one cent."
After hearing his words, Shen Miaomiao and Nanzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Miaomiao smiled and shook her head: "That's right. It's a table with one tael and one penny."
The man was stunned for a moment, in disbelief.
He had also been to other restaurants before coming to this Sanweiju.
The cheapest table at Zuitingxuan is 20 taels of silver, while the one at Hongfu Restaurant is 1, 20, 50 cents, and they may not be able to arrange a private room. In the end, I wanted to try my luck, so I came to Sanwei, which had just opened a few days ago. Residence.
"Is this the same private room?"
"yes."
The man breathed a sigh of relief, then thanked him again and returned to the private room happily.
Many guests knew it was on the second floor and walked up to have a look.
Some people who brought friends to eat didn't want to sit in the lobby, so they simply went to the second floor to eat.
The man who had reserved the table did not forget to thank Nanzhi and Shen Miaomiao before leaving.
Although his life is not in embarrassment now, he doesn't have much money to spare, and this Sanmiju has made him lose that face.
It wasn't until Sanweiju closed in the evening that the employees sat in the lobby with excited faces waiting to be handed out their monthly payments.
Nanzhi took a look at last month’s ledger.
The total sales reached seventy-two taels. Excluding the cost of sixteen taels, the total profit was fifty-six taels.
It seems like a lot, but other investments are not small either.
As wages continue to be paid, about twenty-one taels will have to be removed.
Thinking of this, Nanzhi couldn't help but feel a little painful.
Uncle Ping has already started paying wages.
"Lu Daliang, the monthly salary is 2 taels. I took three days off last month and the extra share is 3 taels. Including other subsidies, the total is 2 taels and 4 taels with a balance of thirty-three cents."
Lu Daliang was a little confused after hearing this.
When he first came here, it was said that it was twenty taels a month, and he didn't know what other divisions there were, but why did he get an extra four and thirty-three cents?
"Master Lu, why don't you take the money?" Liu Da on the side saw that Lu Daliang didn't understand, so he poked him with a smile.
After being reminded by Liu Da, Lu Daliang reacted and hurriedly went to collect the monthly payment.
"Master Lu, count the money and put your fingerprints here." Uncle Ping pointed to the place where his name was written and said.
"Hey, okay, okay." Lu Daliang chuckled and pressed his fingerprints.
The worker on the side joked: "Master Lu, why don't you spend some money?"
"How much money can I still weigh out? Go, go, be careful not to cook meat for you tomorrow!"
Feeling the heavy weight in his hand, Lu Daliang opened his mouth and grinned almost behind his ears.
"Liu Da, one tael a month, two days off, bonus and subsidy totaling one tael or six." Uncle Ping read along the names below.
Liu Da almost dropped his eyes when he heard that he had six dollars more.
"One, two or six dollars? Uncle Ping, don't lie to me!"
"If you don't want it, just give it to me. I won't mind it." Uncle Ping looked at him with a smile on his face.
This Liu Da is usually the most clever, he can make people laugh when he is with him, and he never makes any mistakes in his work.
"Then I definitely want it!" Liu Da squeezed to the front and pressed his fingerprints with a smile before taking his own wallet.
Which waiter in this store can earn so much?
After following these two owners, he really missed it!
"Sheng Wang, the monthly salary is one tael, and after three days of rest, the bonus plus subsidy is a total of one tael, five taels, and twelve cents."
"Zhang Yun, one tael per month, four days off, plus two days of leave. The total subsidy plus bonus is one tael or four."
"Lin Xiaoquan..."
"Aunt Cui..."
It wasn't until everyone's monthly payments were distributed that Uncle Ping closed the ledger.
Everyone who received the money was happy, except Aunt Cui who was a little dazed.
Seeing some sadness on her face, Nanzhi couldn't help but worry, so she went over to ask.
"Aunt Cui, what's wrong with you?"
Aunt Cui was in a daze, and she came back to her senses when she heard someone asking. She turned around and saw it was Nanzhi, and just laughed out loud: "My boss, it's okay, it's okay."
"Auntie, if you have anything, just tell us and don't hold it in." Shen Miaomiao also suggested.
Aunt Cui works very quickly in the restaurant, and she always comes in early, and always leaves last in the evening. Although she is always smiling on weekdays, she looks a little worried when she goes back at night.
I guess it's a family matter.
"Yes, my son came back two days ago." Aunt Cui sighed. Her son is now a gangster. Every time he comes back, he only asks for money from her.
Only yesterday she heard the couple arguing in the house again.
Thinking of hearing those noises again when she got home, Aunt Cui felt extremely uncomfortable.
How could such a good person like her husband give birth to such a bastard?
"I guess we are quarreling with my daughter-in-law again." Aunt Cui shook her head. Although she knew that family scandals should not be made public, she really couldn't bear it after so many years.
My son is a jerk, and my daughter-in-law is also a bitch.
It would be better to let her die early.
"this……"
"Forget it, bosses, you guys should go back and rest early. My old lady is going back. I'll come back tomorrow morning." Aunt Cui only showed a wry smile, put away her money bag and slowly walked out of the restaurant.
Seeing her leaving, Nanzhi and Shen Miaomiao felt a little moved in their hearts.
Aunt Cui is older than their aunt, but she never thought that her family would be like that.
"Every family has its cupboard."
"That's right……"
