Chapter 110 Fired

Zhong Xin was absent-minded at this time. She was worried all afternoon, fearing that her boss would look for her and take revenge on her. However, Xu Qingmeng looked calm and still guided her in making things as usual. But that was all. He didn't even give her an extra glance.

But because of this, she was always feeling anxious and as if something was blocking her heart, which made her feel really uncomfortable.

Mrs. Huang ordered the dinner in the evening. The dishes were very rich and obviously expensive. A group of people gathered together for the meal.

After the meal, only Zhong Xin was left behind.

Zhong Xin's heart suddenly rose to her throat, her legs trembled slightly, and she stood there not daring to move.

Xu Qingmeng looked at her with calm eyes, but they revealed an unquestionable majesty.

"Zhong Xin, you have been in Jinxiu Xuan for some time, right?" Xu Qingmeng spoke slowly.

Zhong Xin lowered his head and replied in a low voice: "Yes, Boss."

"Although Jinxiuxuan is a small place, it still has to follow the rules. I hope everyone can concentrate on their work and not have any unnecessary thoughts. And we all signed an agreement, you still remember it."

Xu Qingmeng's voice was neither light nor heavy, but it was like a heavy hammer hitting Zhong Xin's heart.

Zhong Xin’s face flushed red. She understood what was being referred to and stammered, “That…that…”

Xu Qingmeng sighed: "Your mind is no longer on this. It is difficult for you to make progress in Jinxiuxuan. Now I have just opened this shop. Considering that you are still young, I don't want you to compensate me. You should take care of yourself in the future."

When Zhong Xin heard this, she felt like she was struck by lightning. She didn't expect that her boss would really kick her out.

She fell to her knees with a plop. If her father knew about this, it would be the end. Tears welled up in her eyes and she begged, "Boss, please give me another chance. I won't do this again."

Xu Qingmeng looked at Zhong Xin kneeling on the ground, without much ripples in her heart. She was not an authentic ancient person, but a time traveler from the modern era.

She knew very well that once some people's habits were formed, it was difficult to change them. If she kept Zhong Xin now, trouble would inevitably arise in Jinxiu Xuan in the future.

"Zhong Xin, it's not that I don't give you a chance, but Madam Huang said that this is not your first time, so..."

Zhong Xin wanted to say something else, but her throat seemed to be choked by something and she could only cry.

Xu Qingmeng waved her hand and said, "Go away. You don't need to come again tomorrow."

Zhong Xin stood up dejectedly and walked out slowly.

Xu Qingmeng, Gu Yunyi, and Xinting returned under the moonlight. He went back in the evening because she had to prepare some braised food.

On the way, Xinting asked, "Aunt, what happened to Zhong Xin?"

"Don't worry about this. Don't worry about her. You are still young." Xu Qingmeng said.

"oh oh."

On the way, Xu Qingmeng said to Xinting, "You are the fastest learner in the pastry shop, and you also have to take care of the drinks. Now that Zhong Xin is gone, you will probably be even busier these days. You don't have to get up so early tomorrow to make dumplings and prepare lunch dishes."

"But Grandma He can't knead it well, and Sister-in-law Tang doesn't know the fillings and the lunch dishes well..." Xinting hesitated and didn't say it, but the two knew what she wanted to say.

It seems that Mr. He is a natural-born killer in the kitchen. Even if you follow their steps completely, the filling you make in the end is still weird. In short, it's hard to describe.

Xu Qingmeng also knew that there was a shortage of manpower at home, but after all, finding people was a matter that needed to be done slowly.

Xu Qingmeng planned to go back and discuss with He that they should not prepare the set meal for lunch. As for turning off the steamed buns and braised food in the morning, that was not feasible.

After all, the dim sum shop was not owned by her alone. Mrs. Huang also had shares in it, so she could not make the decision at will. Moreover, to the He family, Gu's restaurant was more than just a shop.

Therefore, the Gu family restaurant must be opened, and in this case, the lunchtime business will have to be cancelled.

Xu Qingmeng thought about it and asked, "How are Sister Tang and Aunt Li?"

Apart from other things, Mrs. Tang is very efficient in doing things. Although her cooking skills are not as good as Xinting's, she has no problem preparing the stuffing. Moreover, the vegetarian dishes for lunch these two days were all cooked by Mrs. Tang, and the guests also thought they were good.

Although Aunt Li's cooking skills are not as good as Aunt Tang's, making dumplings is not a difficult task for her.

Gu Yunyi nodded: "Sister Tang and Aunt Li have adapted to the situation over this period of time. I think they will not have any objections to raising their monthly allowances. They have been doing this for a while now."

Xinting didn't say anything, because she also felt that she might not be able to take care of both sides. Now that her aunt was pregnant and Zhong Xin was gone, she had to take over, and she would definitely not be able to handle both.

The three of them finalized the deal on the way.

When I got back, Mrs. Tang and Aunt Li had not left yet. Today, He went to Jinxiuxuan to help. The two of them were packing up the braised food. Although it was not very late, He came back a little late. Although everything was sold out in the end, the closing time was still an hour later than usual.

"Meng Niang is back. Your Aunt Li and I have packed everything. We will go back first and come back tomorrow morning." Mrs. Tang said with a smile when she saw Xu Qingmeng and others coming back.

Gu Yunyi stopped the two of them directly: "Wait a moment, Sister Tang, Aunt Li, I have something to tell you two."

Aunt Li used to get along well with Sister-in-law Tang, so she usually listens to her.

Seeing the serious look on Gu Yunyi's face, Mrs. Tang couldn't help but put away her smile. She also stopped laughing with Aunt Li and became serious: "Yunyi, if you have anything to say, just say it."

As long as we let them continue to do it, it won’t be a big problem and everything will be fine.

Recently, many people have been nagging them, saying that Xu Qingmeng's sisters-in-law might ask them to come and help out. They sounded very specific, so that after work, they would get together and talk about their worries, fearing that they would be fired.

However, who would have thought that Gu Yunyi and Xu Qingmeng did not want to fire them, but to give them compensation, and also taught them how to make buns, pies, and steamed buns, and even how to make hot soup.

The set lunch will not be prepared, so that the two of them and He will be able to handle the restaurant.

They were both surprised, but also a little nervous.

In this era, if someone has such a skill, who would teach it to others if they don’t keep it firmly in their own hands?

This great favor left them both a little overwhelmed.
