Chapter 182: Hiring! Hiring! Hiring!

The two older sisters can be hired, and Xiaozhi has also provided several detailed salary plans for this partnership-like model.

But the final result of the staffing was that after hiring Lu Hongwen to work part-time, Geng Mingyan and Hou Guihua to make fried skewers, and Ouyang Yidan to be a waiter, she still needed to hire a chef in the kitchen and a waiter to do odd jobs at the front desk.

As for Su Yuchen, Xiaozhi defines her as a partner in terms of identity, but has classified her as an irregular handyman in terms of staffing.

Zhao Xiaojing was speechless. She had originally thought that inviting the two older sisters would reduce the staffing pressure, but unexpectedly it became even heavier. She suddenly felt hopeless.

How could such a small and dilapidated temple of hers accommodate so many Buddhas?

Xiaozhi’s answer to this is that the workload has increased and the existing manpower is insufficient.

The first is that after Lu Hongwen comes over this week, he will start delivering meals to the campus. Once the delivery business starts, the number of orders in the store will increase rapidly.

Secondly, after the two elder sisters of Geng Hou come over, fried skewers will be added as a snack. Originally, selling fried skewers alone is enough for two people, but fried skewers and rice are sold in the store at the same time. No matter which one has a good reputation, customers will have a chance to order the other one to try when they come to the store. When the two foods are put together, sales will increase at the same time.

Regardless of the first or second situation, the final result is a rapid increase in orders. Once the orders increase, the first pressure point to be borne is the kitchen.

Zhao Xiaojing is the only one cooking in the kitchen. There are 11 varieties of rice in the restaurant. Except for pork trotter rice, potato beef and braised chicken with mushrooms, which are prepared in advance, the others need to be fried on the spot. With more people coming, Zhao Xiaojing can't handle it all by herself.

Therefore, the most urgent task is to hire a cooking chef who can quickly take up the job after Lu Hongwen, Geng Mingyan and Hou Guihua arrive in place and share the cooking pressure with Zhao Xiaojing.

In addition, Xiaozhi's calculations also included Su Yuchen's variables. Since Zhao Xiaojing said in the morning that Su Yuchen's position would be transferred to the kitchen, Su Yuchen became an irregular handyman. When she was there, the pressure in the kitchen was less, but when she was not there, Zhao Xiaojing could handle it with the quick module, so there was another vacancy for the front desk service staff.

Zhao Xiaojing took a deep breath and accepted the result.

It’s good to have more people. Since Xiaozhi calculated that so many people are needed, it means that the business of the store will definitely not be bad. It is a good thing to be able to make money.

After exiting the virtual space, Zhao Xiaojing went to the kitchen to discuss this matter with Su Yuchen.

Zhao Xiaojing, who had to make the sweet condiments herself, had already finished making them in the morning. At present, Su Yuchen had cut the milk jelly and cooked the taro balls, and was peeling and chopping them with a copycat machine.

"Sure! It's even better if you know her. Sister Hou is so cool, go and invite her! I'll pay my respects!" As soon as Zhao Xiaojing explained the situation, Su Yuchen immediately agreed, feeling a surge of affection for the legendary hot-tempered and chivalrous Hou Guihua. "So, should I rescind the job posting I posted this morning? The two of them are just enough, and our hiring problem is solved."

Su Yuchen had a hopeful look on her face. Zhao Xiaojing looked at her helplessly, and translated Xiaozhi's result into her own considerations. Then, she saw the same wonderful expression on Su Yuchen's face as her own.

"Mirror, are we really opening a rice-topped restaurant? Are you sure it's not some kind of restaurant that holds banquets?"

"The number of people in the restaurant holding the banquet is probably dozens of times more than ours! I'll call the two sisters back and ask them first. I haven't discussed it with them yet, so they're not sure whether they're willing to come." Zhao Xiaojing smiled and glared at Su Yuchen, turned and left the kitchen, and called Geng Mingyan again.

When Zhao Xiaojing expressed her idea, Geng Mingyan was stunned. "Xiao Zhao, your restaurant just opened, and you need to make money. This isn't a shelter. If you really need people, you can, but you can't just pity us because we're jobless and ask us to come and eat your ready-made food."

"What do you mean by ready-made food? Haven't you finished talking yet?" There was a noise from the other end of the phone, accompanied by Hou Guihua's loud voice.

Geng Mingyan relayed Zhao Xiaojing's words, and Hou Guihua immediately expressed her opinion. "Sister Geng is right! We're not young anymore, but we can be self-reliant. You can't give us your own shop as charity!"

"Sister Geng, Sister Hou, you misunderstood. I really am short of staff." Zhao Xiaojing was touched and at a loss whether to laugh or cry. "We were just sending out recruitment notices this morning. If you don't believe me, I'll take a picture and show you!"

Zhao Xiaojing said this and walked out, took a photo of the recruitment notice posted outside the door and gave it to the two of them, and only then did they believe it.

“It’s just that I’m hiring waiters, and when you come here you’ll be the skewers chefs.

If you want to sell breakfast, the store is idle in the morning anyway, so we can make a key and give it to you directly. Then we can separate the kitchen items or share the consumables.

I will make fried skewers separately at noon and in the evening. I will provide the tools and ingredients. You can get commission based on the workload, or you can directly receive a monthly salary.

In this way, your problems are solved. You don't have to worry about reopening the store, renovating it, finding a location, buying equipment and tools, etc. You don't have to stay in Hecheng, and Sister Geng doesn't have to worry about losing all of Sister Hou's money.

"It just so happens that I'm looking to hire someone to make fried skewers. If you could come, it would help me solve a big problem. I'd love it. This is mutually beneficial, so how can it be considered charity?" Zhao Xiaojing patiently explained.

"Guihua, what do you think?" Geng Mingyan was moved and asked Hou Guihua.

"Okay! I will go find Lao Li tomorrow and urge him to find someone quickly. Once he finds someone, we will go to Jiangcheng immediately!" Hou Guihua made the decision generously.

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Xiaojing walked into the kitchen with a beaming look on her face.

"Have the two elder sisters agreed?" Su Yuchen glanced at Zhao Xiaojing and immediately guessed that the matter had been settled.

Zhao Xiaojing nodded and turned to carry out the old jars she had washed at noon. "I'll ask Manager Li tomorrow and come over as soon as someone takes over the construction site."

"Start pickling the duck eggs?" Su Yuchen saw Zhao Xiaojing holding the jar and took over a basket of duck eggs from the shelf on the side.

The jar was an old jar bought from a second-hand market. After it was brought home, it was washed and disinfected with white wine. Zhao Xiaojing carefully took out the dried duck eggs one by one and put them into the jar. After all 100 duck eggs were stacked, the jar was not even full.

Su Yuchen then helped bring out the spice juice that Zhao Xiaojing had prepared at noon from the refrigerator. Zhao Xiaojing touched it with her hand and found that the temperature had completely cooled down, then she carefully poured it into the jar.

The spice sauce contains salt, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, peppercorns and ginger slices. It is a simple water sauce, but it still has a light aftertaste after cooling down.

After the sauce just covered the duck eggs on the top, Zhao Xiaojing opened another bottle of Erguotou and poured it in to seal the top. Then she poured a circle of water around the edge of the jar and put a large bowl on it. The simple seal was done.

Zhao Xiaojing moved the jar to a dark corner of the kitchen and put it away. All that was left was to wait for time to develop.
