Chapter 45 Watch the show

"To be honest with you, Miss Su, there was a shop manager in another city who wanted to come back to avoid separation from his family, but there are only so many shops in Zhouji Herbal Medicine Store, and there is no better place to stay after returning, so he can only wait. Miss Su needs a shop manager here, so that's an opportunity."

Li's face was full of smiles. "I'm afraid that once I say this, they will rush back. I will help Miss Su to be more cautious and pick a few who have experience in restaurants first."

Every job has its own challenges, and you need to adapt to everything.

However, management is something that is interconnected when it reaches a certain level. You just need to manage people well, and it won’t be too late to learn other things slowly.

"Anyone who can work as the head shopkeeper under Madam for many years must be good." Su Yujin said with a smile, "I will entrust this matter to Madam, and rely on Madam to help me solve the problem."

“This is what should be done.”

Li was already very grateful to Su Yujin for her help twice in a row, and was worried that she could not find anything to repay Su Yujin. Now that she had this opportunity, Li was very interested.

After sending Su Yujin away, he began to list all the shop managers of Zhouji's shops. He discussed with Lian Qiao for a long time and finally decided on two capable people. He sent a letter to them and asked them to come back soon so that Su Yujin could make a choice.

As for the vacancies left by the chosen persons, they will be filled by choosing similar persons from among the managers.

"Madam, I think we need to talk to the old lady about this matter." Lian Qiao said.

"Yeah." Li nodded.

Although the power of the housekeeper is now entirely in Li's hands, the old lady has not given up the power for long. It is one thing for her to not care about anything, but it is another thing for her not to say anything.

"Speaking of which, Ruoyi has been studying hard these days and is often praised by the teacher. The old lady is very happy. She said she would make Ruoyi's favorite pickled goose and crystal shrimp dumplings in the evening. When Ruoyi comes back from school later, she will ask him to go to the old lady's yard to greet her."

"Yes." Lian Qiao agreed.

"How are the second and third rooms these days?" asked Li.

"The third wife has been very attentive to the old lady these days, either making soup or cakes, but every time she sends them to the old lady, she says that the second wife is not decent and unfilial."

"The Second Madam and the Second Master have been quarreling a lot these days. Yesterday, I saw a black bruise on the Second Master's cheek and a red mark on the Second Madam's face. I guess they started fighting. I heard from several stewards that the Second House quarrels every day and there is no peace. The old lady is very unhappy because of this these days."

Lian Qiao was very excited when talking about these things. "I also heard that because the second wife's nephew was praised so much these days, he was already arrogant. He only said to others that he would be the head shopkeeper in the future. He was beaten up by the third wife's nephew. The second wife wanted to ask the third wife for an explanation because of this matter, but the third wife ignored her."

"There's a lot of fuss going on between these two houses right now. There's been plenty of good drama in this period, definitely enough to watch."

"Since they are making a fuss, I am a little more relaxed here." Li smiled, "But we still have to be careful, especially about things around Ruoyi. I must tell my subordinates to keep a close eye on them."

"The weather is getting colder, and winter is coming. Ruoyi is allergic to plum blossoms. Remember to tell your subordinates not to let Ruoyi touch plum blossoms. Plum blossom pastries, plum blossom snow water, etc. are not allowed to enter the yard."

"If there is anyone who is blind or has any ulterior motives, just chase him out and don't reply to me."

"Don't worry, ma'am. I will definitely pass the instructions on." Lian Qiao nodded repeatedly.

Li said "hmm" and then looked down at the account book. The transaction procedures of the shop were completed within two days.

Su Yujin found the carpenter who had done the renovation for Su Ji Food Shop last time to do the repairs and decoration.

This was originally a teahouse, with the lobby on the first floor and the private rooms on the second floor. The layout was reasonable and there was no need for too many changes. Even the tables and chairs were ready-made and could be used directly.

But there are also some parts that are not smooth and need slight changes.

For example, some of the decorations in the private rooms upstairs and the doors and windows have become old over time and need to be re-polished and repainted.

In addition, the counter and the shelves at the back need to be replaced. Since a kitchen will be added in the backyard, many vegetable racks and cupboards are also needed for convenient use in the kitchen.

The carpenters are all old masters with many years of experience. After Su Yujin's detailed description and simple drawings, the carpenters already understood and just did it carefully according to what Su Yujin said.

While the shop was busy with renovations, Su Yujin took Ai Cao and went to Fuyun Lane every day.

Find Zheng Mingyuan to determine the dishes after the restaurant opens.

Su Yujin smiled and said, "What I mean is that if the restaurant has too many dishes and they are too diverse, it will easily dazzle the customers. It will also be difficult to control the purchase and storage of ingredients every day, so waste is inevitable."

"A restaurant must have several signature dishes. One of them must taste great and satisfy most people's tastes. It must be suitable for all ages. The other must be cheap enough. If it tastes good, of course it's good. If it doesn't taste good, it must be a must-order dish because it's cheap and large. The other must be a novel dish that no other restaurant in Qinghe County can make."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"If these three dishes are well prepared, people will always think of them. When people mention our restaurant, they will think of these three dishes. When they eat these three dishes elsewhere, they will also think of our restaurant. If they are paired with some other dishes, the dishes of this restaurant will be almost the same."

After listening to this, Zheng Mingyuan nodded and said, "That's a good idea, very targeted."

Basically, it includes people from all walks of life and purchasing power who go out to eat.

"But which of these cheap dishes does the shopkeeper plan to decide on? Do you have any ideas?" Zheng Mingyuan asked.

"I have thought about this. Ordinary vegetables are very expensive at some point each year due to seasonality. It is impossible to ensure that these cheap vegetables will not lose money. The only product that has a stable price and little fluctuation is probably tofu."

Su Yujin said, "It depends on whether Uncle Zheng can use tofu to make a dish that is suitable for all ages, delicious, and inexpensive."

This cheap dish will become a restaurant's draw in the future.

And this single dish will give people an excellent impression that all the dishes in this restaurant are of high quality and low price.

Zheng Mingyuan thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "I understand. Let me think about these three dishes and figure them out in the next few days. Then I'll ask Dayong to invite you to come and try them."

"Then leave everything to Uncle Zheng." Su Yujin said with a smile.

"Since I'm the chef of the restaurant, it's naturally up to me."
