Chapter 120 Do You Know Why I'm Angry at You?
Chapter 120 Do You Know Why I'm Angry at You?
Before the opening, many colleagues came to say, "Such a big shop, you only sell hot and sour noodles, snail noodles, and bubble milk tea, isn't this nonsense?"
"Their restaurant is not making any money, so they want to cut costs."
"I heard that the boss is still a young lady in her twenties. Tsk, what can a woman accomplish?"
"..."
However, because the shop is located in a prosperous area, has received adequate publicity in advance, and a bowl of noodles only costs ten cents, many people still come here to try it out.
They couldn’t afford the dishes at this Joy Restaurant before, but they could at least afford a bowl of noodles, right?
So many customers sat down with the intention of going in to take a look.
After entering the store and looking around, I found that the decoration style inside was very novel. There were many wooden signs hanging on the walls and beams. The signs were engraved with cartoons of hot and sour noodles, snail noodles, and pearl milk tea. They were very cute and very friendly.
Xiaoliu, Xiaoqi and the other guys hadn't greeted so many customers for a long time. They kept in mind what Li Yujiao said about "smiling" service and greeted everyone with a smile.
So even though there are a lot of people today, the service is still good.
What’s more, the noodles are really delicious and make people want to eat more. Anyone who has eaten them will introduce them to their friends to try them.
Several cooks were busy working in the backstage.
Li Yujiao was right. The happiest thing for a chef is not to make dishes that are both good-looking and expensive, but to make food that many people like.
A simple bowl of noodles can mean a lot. The seemingly messy seasonings mixed together are like a moving piece of music, which makes people feel wonderful when eating it.
The accountant was so tired from calculating the accounts today that his beads started smoking.
The shopkeeper Chen Dayou's facial muscles were stiff from smiling today.
At the end of the day, the turnover reached thirty taels of silver!
Li Yujiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
……
"Jiaojiao Food Shop" became an instant hit in Rongcheng, and many people wanted to learn how to make this noodle.
Tongfu Restaurant even sent people to find a few chefs in private, hoping that they would switch to their restaurant and that salary and other things would be negotiable.
But Fat Dog and his friends refused.
"Some time ago, I saw that Xiyue Restaurant was going to close down, so I wanted to switch to Tongfu Restaurant, but what did they say? They said that with our level of skills, we still want to work for their restaurant? We hope it will close down again soon."
"Exactly. Isn't our employer good? Look at the big picture she painted for us... No, the career plan she made for us is so good."
"We should give the young owner a chance, even though she is just a woman..."
Before the restaurant opened, Li Yujiao had a private chat with each person about salary and benefits.
Currently, the salary for cooks is five taels of silver per month, but the bonus will be flexibly adjusted depending on the store's turnover. If the turnover exceeds a certain amount, their bonus will increase, with no upper limit.
The guys get paid in March every month, with flexible adjustments, and can get up to five taels.
As long as the accountant worked full time, he could get an extra 1 or 2 taels of silver every month. Overtime was calculated by the hour, and each hour was 60 wen.
Everyone's enthusiasm has been aroused, so no one would want to change jobs unless the salary offered by the other party is ridiculously high.
But who would dare to go for such a ridiculously high salary? Isn't this equivalent to buying out a lifetime?
……
That night, Li Yujiao was busy until very late before she came out of the shop.
When I got outside, I saw Jing Qishan standing at the door of the food store.
It was a chilly spring day, and he was standing on the roadside, still wearing the red and blue uniform, looking tall and mighty.
Li Yujiao's heart beat faster: "Qishan, why are you here?"
Jing Qishan's tone seemed to carry a hint of resentment: "Come and take my wife home, so that you don't get put in a sack on the way."
Li Yujiao could hear his resentment, and the throbbing in her heart disappeared instantly.
If you want to pick someone up, just pick him up. Why are you saying these things?
"I don't need you to pick me up. This place is not far from home. I can go back by myself."
Jing Qishan said, "If it was before the opening, I would not be worried, but now your shop is so popular, everyone in the city knows that you have made a lot of money, so there are naturally many people who want to harm you. As a husband, I have the responsibility to protect you."
Li Yujiao said angrily: "You wanted to come, I didn't force you."
She walked in front and he followed behind.
There were lantern lights on the streets along the way. Although it was not as bright as the modern night markets, the road was clear enough to see.
Li Yujiao would see his shadow when she lowered her head.
Sometimes she would deliberately step on his shadow a few times as a way of venting her anger.
But gradually, her anger subsided.
Men in ancient times had traditional ideas and did not like their wives to show up in public. It was a rare opportunity for him to come and pick her up when she came home so late every night.
What's more, she was in business, and businessmen in that era had a low status. Men all liked to pursue a career in politics and bring honor to their family, and they looked down on businessmen.
Forget it, since he is here to pick me up, just treat him as a guard.
Li Yujiao felt better and walked side by side with him: "How are you today?"
The man still looked arrogant: "Okay."
Li Yujiao thought to herself: Humph, I took the initiative to talk to you, but you just gave me a perfunctory answer. If you don’t want to talk anymore, forget it!
She quickly shook him off.
But she stopped talking, and he took a few quick steps forward and continued to walk side by side with her.
Li Yujiao was still angry and continued to take big steps.
He followed for a few steps, and finally couldn't help but asked, "Why are you leaving?"
"I'm going home. If I don't leave, can I still fly?"
Jing Qishan said: "You are angry. I came to pick you up with good intentions, but you are angry with me."
"You were the one who mocked me first, okay? I didn't ask you to answer the phone, but you came on your own accord, and when you did you put on a sour face. I've been busy all day and I still have to see your sour face!"
"..." Jing Qishan was speechless for a while, then he pulled her and said, "Am I angry that you came back late? I am angry that you..."
He stopped here.
"What are you mad at me for?" she asked.
He said with a straight face, "You will know if you go home and take a look yourself!"
Li Yujiao was confused for a moment, then continued walking home.
The food shop was only three blocks away from Jing Qishan’s house, and it didn’t take long to get there.
After entering the room, she looked around and couldn't figure out why he was angry.
Didn’t you say you would know when you got home?
baffling!
Li Yujiao was very sleepy, so she planned to boil some water to wash her face and feet.
The water in the pot on the stove was still hot, so he must have boiled it in advance.
There is also a bowl of white porridge and buns in the big pot next to the iron pot. I wonder if it is prepared for her?
Her heart warmed.
Jing Qishan is a very careful man, but he can't speak properly.
But she had no appetite now.
After washing up, she returned to the room and saw Jing Qishan lying on the bed.
She was also sleepy, so she went over, pulled the quilt over her and lay down.
Jing Qishan was still obsessed with the question he had asked on the road: "Do you know why I am angry with you?"
