Chapter 347: Check if these two guys have made progress

In the plan proposed by Xiaozhi, buying four food delivery vehicles from the second-hand market was listed as the first item, and upgrading the disinfection cabinet was listed as the second item. However, the second item also stated that hard work could be rewarded through revenue, which immediately discouraged Zhao Xiaojing from spending money to buy it.

After a walk around the market, she quickly found four semi-new three-layer food delivery carts. Although they looked a little dusty, they felt sturdy and the wheels were smooth. Zhao Xiaojing bargained and successfully bought them for 120 yuan.

After that, I bought a double-door refrigerator for 300 yuan to store alcohol and drinks, and spent another 50 yuan to ask the boss to send a tricycle to take it to the restaurant. Then I went to the wholesale market next door to buy a few sets of knives, a few sets of chef uniforms and aprons, as well as cleaning tools. The equipment was completed.

When Zhao Xiaojing returned to the restaurant with a cart full of miscellaneous items, Su Yuchen had already finished installing the phone and was using her phone to modify the store's contact information on various web pages and software. The wine cabinet had also been delivered and was placed next to the cash register, in the spot she had originally planned.

"Haha, how did you know I wanted to put a wine cabinet here? I almost forgot to tell you."

"Hurry, I'll tell you the number, you should write it down too." Su Yuchen looked up, and when he saw Zhao Xiaojing, he pulled her out of her cell phone without saying a word, quickly told her a landline number, and then tried to call back with Zhao Xiaojing's cell phone.

"You're back just in time. I won't be able to remember the steps again in a while. Please wait."

Su Yuchen fiddled with Zhao Xiaojing's phone for a while before he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, I've activated call forwarding for you. If the store's landline is unavailable, the call will be forwarded directly to your mobile phone. This way, you don't have to worry about missing important calls. What did you just say?"

"I was wondering how you knew I wanted to put a freezer here, and you were so diligent that you cleaned it and turned it on."

"Nonsense, look around, is there any other suitable place besides this one?" Su Yuchen sneered, "I'll test it once I turn on the power, and then unplug it later. It's still cold now, and no one wants to drink ice cold. Just put the drinks in for display."

"Okay, then you go ahead and do it. There are still some things in the car for you to unload. I'll call Master Gu."

"what?"

"Ask him for another person. I'm afraid the store won't be able to handle the competitions soon. By the way, we also need to hire two more waiters. Xiao Wanzi will have to start delivering food when school starts, and you will be busier with the band's work in the future, so there won't be enough people in the store." Zhao Xiaojing said.

"Then I'll ask Ouyang when she comes."

"Why ask her?"

"Don't you know she's giving you free promotion on WeChat Moments every day?" Su Yuchen looked surprised. "Every time you make a new dish, she posts it on WeChat Moments. A few days ago, she even told me that several of her classmates wanted to come here!"

"Is this possible? What she wrote was so abstract, yet it can have this effect..." This time it was Zhao Xiaojing's turn to be dumbfounded.

She did see Ouyang Yidan’s circle of friends. It was a long list of short essays every day, like writing a diary, and she wrote different short plays based on the employee meals of that day. They were extremely imaginative and abstract.

I asked my sister how old this chicken was to be so strong. She explained that it was originally the one assigned to Zhuomi Mountain in Journey to the West. It was about to ascend to heaven and get a job, but Sun Wukong intervened and resolved a conflict, forcing it to lose its job and be banished to the mortal world. It was plucked, bled, and scalded in an iron pot. No wonder, I thought. One bite filled my mouth with a fairy-like aroma, and I felt like I was floating in the air.

…

Zhao Xiaojing can only say that children nowadays have very rich imaginations.

"Abstraction is the only way it works. She interacts with more people on WeChat Moments every day than you do! Go call her quickly. I'll ask her about the waitress when the time comes."

"Okay." Zhao Xiaojing nodded, walked to the side, and dialed Gu Shanfeng's number.

"Xiao Zhao, are you here to ask for someone again?"

"Master Gu, I haven't even opened my mouth yet, and you already know it." Zhao Xiaojing laughed and was about to say that Gu Shanfeng was very foresighted, but Gu Shanfeng was defeated in an instant.

"You're really here to hire people?! It's only the beginning of the new year and you're already short of staff? Are you running a restaurant or a wine shop?"

"It's rice topped with gravy, but I also brought some fried foods and side dishes. The reason we're short of staff is that business has been getting better and better since the beginning of the year. Even if the three of us are enough now, it won't be enough in the future. Hiring people earlier will give us more time to adapt. Also, I'm going to participate in a competition next month, so there won't be enough staff then..." Zhao Xiaojing explained with a helpless smile.

"What competition?" Gu Shanfeng became interested.

After Zhao Xiaojing explained the entire competition rules and reasons, Gu Shanfeng also became excited.

"Go! I have to go for such a great opportunity! It seems I really haven't kept up with the times. There are so many stories that I didn't know about. There are even celebrities who come to your place. Hey, your little restaurant is quite interesting... Send me the location of your store later!"

"Okay, is Master Gu coming?"

"It just so happens that there are few reservations today. After lunch, I'll go to your place to broaden my horizons! Don't tell those two guys yet. They've been away from me for almost half a year. After all, I brought them up. I'll go and test them to see if they've improved!"

"Okay, then why not join us for dinner? We'll eat around the same time, so I can trick them into cooking a few more dishes for you to try! I'll tell my partner later, and if you arrive early, ask her out. Her last name is Su."

"Okay, okay, then see you at noon. I'll tell you the details about your matter at noon." Gu Shanfeng hung up the phone happily.

Zhao Xiaojing couldn't stop smiling when she made the phone call. When she told Su Yuchen about it, Su Yuchen immediately understood what she meant, and the two of them laughed slyly for a long time.

Just now, Su Yuchen had unloaded all the goods from the car, and the dishes had been sorted and put into the kitchen. The two of them also cleaned the delivery cart from inside to outside. While no one was there, Zhao Xiaojing talked to Su Yuchen about selecting a store manager.

"I have no objection. I only stay in the store in the mornings and haven't fulfilled my responsibilities as a boss. It's of course a good idea to choose a store manager. But if you only choose Sister Geng, what about Sister Hou? After all, the store manager gets an extra 500 yuan every month." Su Yuchen hesitated.

"We'll expand our store in the future. Right now, one manager is enough for this small shop. Sister Hou isn't a stingy person, she'll understand. She and Sister Geng are the oldest and have more work experience, so of course we'll choose from them. Sister Hou will be the manager sooner or later. We chose Sister Geng this time mainly because she's meticulous and a worrywart, making her the most suitable person to be the store manager. If we chose Sister Hou, she might not even want to take on the role and not want to worry."

"That's right." Su Yuchen laughed. "With Sister Hou's personality, she might find it annoying to be the store manager. If she were given the position, she might even give it up to Sister Geng."
