Chapter 120 Bonuses are given out!

District Director Ou had an idea in his mind, but he did not bring it up in front of so many people.

Firstly, today was the first day the snack shop opened, and Shi Xiaoai was very busy. This was obviously not the time to talk. Secondly, he wanted to take another look.

Shi Xiaoai didn't know what District Director Ou was thinking, but she was also being pestered by Director Xu at the moment.

Director Xu was so envious when he saw so many former educated youth coming and going in the restaurant that his eyes turned red with envy!

She pulled Shi Xiaoai and insisted that she tell her a time, asking when they could recruit workers again.

It can be said that Yunhe Office got a great deal in its first recruitment.

Originally, the snack shop promised that the office would recruit fifteen people within its jurisdiction. Later, due to the expansion of recruitment and the fact that there were many qualified people in the jurisdiction, Shi Xiaoai recruited a total of eighteen people from the office, far exceeding the fifteen she had originally promised.

Director Yu also knew that there were basically no people who met the requirements in her jurisdiction. At this time, she naturally would not go against Director Xu and others.

Not to mention that the district chief is still sitting there.

So she smiled and spoke well of her old acquaintance: "Xiao Xiao, next time you recruit people, please help your Aunt Xu and the others. They live close to our snack bar, so it will be convenient for you to commute to get off work in the future."

Shi Xiaoai was sandwiched between two directors, and with District Director Ou agreeing on the side, it seemed inappropriate not to express her opinion.

Without hesitation, she said, "Director Xu, please go back and ask if there's anyone in our area willing to work part-time. If there is, have them come to the snack bar and find Wang Xiaofeng to sign up."

"Part-time worker?"

The new term that Shi Xiaoai said attracted everyone's attention, and even District Chief Ou looked at her inquiringly.

Director Xu quickly asked, "Xiao Ai, what is a part-time worker?"

Only then did Shi Xiaoai realize that she had said the wrong thing.

She didn't feel comfortable explaining, so she simply said, "It's just a short-term job. It's definitely not realistic for us to recruit again right now, and we don't have the energy for further training."

So I thought I'd hire some hourly workers first and pay them based on how many hours they work. A day's work is about five hours, so for a month's work, I'd start with 15 yuan, with overtime pay added in.

"Fifteen yuan for five hours?!" A man sitting next to Director Xu exclaimed in surprise: "Such a good treatment, five hours, how many people are you short of? Otherwise, let us office staff come together!"

Director Xu slapped him hard without thinking!

Then, with eyes wide open, he scolded, "What are you thinking? Go away, don't join in the fun! We're already overwhelmed with people, don't cause trouble for me!"

After scolding the other person, Director Xu immediately turned around and gave Shi Xiaoai an eager smile.

He then asked, "Xiao Ai, what are your requirements this time? Do you still require literacy? There's no requirement for gender, right? Also, how many people do you want this time?"

"It doesn't matter if you can read or not. There's no educational requirement this time. As for gender..."

Shi Xiaoai thought for a moment and said, "Director Xu, this is what I'm looking for. The people I'm recruiting this time are mainly for manual labor, such as kneading dough, moving things, cleaning up the stall, washing dishes, picking and washing vegetables. In addition, there will be some people who work the night shift to assist the barbecue chef.

By night shift, I mean only men, because our market closes at 9:00 PM, but by the time all the odd jobs are done, it's already after 10:00 PM. It's not safe for women to go home during that time.

To be honest, the daytime work is also very hard. We can't say we don't hire women, but when our office promotes the job, we must make it clear to everyone that this work is very tiring. If you don't have the physical strength, don't force yourself.

Carrying rice and meat on the back and kneading dough are all tasks that require a lot of strength."

Who knew that everyone looked indifferent after hearing Xiao Ai's words.

Director Xu even said, "How can such hard work be considered? Even if they don't come to you, they still have to do the work at home, such as cleaning the stall and washing dishes, washing pots and vegetables. Okay, I know what you said, Xiao Ai, you haven't told me how many people you're hiring!"

"Let's recruit fifteen first." Shi Xiaoai said.

When Director Xu heard this number, he was immediately overjoyed.

The snack shop had originally said it would hire fifteen people, but in the end they hired a total of thirty!

Now it’s fifteen again. If the people on our side are of good quality and willing to work hard, will they recruit more like last time?

Director Xu secretly made up his mind that he would teach the young people in his jurisdiction a good lesson when he returned, and make them cherish such opportunities.

Not only do they all have to sign up, but they also have to perform well, not only for themselves, but also for those who want to work here in the future.

The night market business is also booming.

Maybe it’s because their store is now famous throughout Yuncheng, or maybe it’s just as famous as their store because of their reputation that you have to queue up to eat there and there’s nothing left if you come late.

So even though the barbecue doesn't start until seven o'clock, people waiting to eat are already waiting outside for their number to be called before six o'clock.

It's impossible for everyone to have no complaints, but complaining won't stop them from queuing.

Most of the people were muttering to themselves while still queuing outside. No one gave up because of the team leader or the large number of people.

On the contrary, the line is getting longer and longer.

This was the scene that District Chief Ou and his group saw when they left after dinner.

In fact, Xiao Ai and the others have tried their best to compensate for this situation.

They prepared a full pot of braised peanuts and gave it away for free to those in line.

Everyone who comes to get a number will receive a small handful of braised peanuts from the shop at the same time.

Although the number is not large, it still makes people feel particularly happy.

Because peanuts are also very good things, usually no one would buy them to eat at home except during the Chinese New Year and other festivals.

Not to mention adults, even children can hardly eat many of them in a year.

Although waiting in line does take some time, everyone still thinks it is worth it as they can get a handful of braised peanuts.

What's more, the braised peanuts in the snack shop are so delicious.

Some people even couldn't stop eating once they started, and before they even got to the front of the line, they couldn't help but run to the sales counter and buy another big bag to eat slowly.

As a result, before it even got dark, the snack shop had sold dozens of yuan worth of peanuts alone.

Aunt Liu and Uncle Wang took over the job of picking up Mingxi and Mingrui from the kindergarten today.

Kaikai helped his brothers buy vegetables in the morning. Afraid that the little guy would be tired, Xiao Ai refused to let him come to work in the afternoon and left him at home to do the homework she had assigned him.

After the two children returned home, Kaikai took over the job of taking care of the two little ones, while Aunt Liu and Uncle Wang both ran to the snack shop to help.

Wang Xiaofeng was the first to see her parents. She was so excited to see the old couple that her eyes lit up.

She didn't bother to be polite with her parents and went over to pull the old couple towards the kitchen.

As he walked, he kept muttering, "Mom and Dad, hurry up, you're here to save my life! The dishes in the kitchen are about to overflow. Dad, go wash the dishes quickly. Mom, go help Aunt Song skewer the skewers. Look at the line outside. If you don't do it now, there will definitely be a commotion later!"

Aunt Liu and Uncle Wang were so confused by their little girl's shouting that they didn't even have time to say a word before one of them was covered by a Go board.

He didn't even have time to say hello to Shi Xiaoai before he was sent to work.

Guo An was also sent to work.

After all, today is the first day of the snack shop's opening. His wife is at home taking care of the children and can't come over, so as a son-in-law, he has to come and see his mother-in-law.

The result was the same. After arriving, he was drafted into the army by his mother-in-law without even saying a word.

Guo An had been kneading dough in the kitchen for more than an hour. His arms were so tired that he couldn't lift them. His mother-in-law didn't even have time to say a word to him.

The employees in the dinner shop eat in batches.

Because business was so good and everyone was working so hard, Xiao Ai waved his hand and added a main dish for everyone during the meal, which was the braised pork that the store was selling now!

Everyone in the nearby streets knows how delicious the braised pork rice in the snack shop is.

It can be said that once the door is opened, the fragrance will spread so far that neighbors from several streets away will want to eat an extra steamed bun just to enjoy the aroma.

The employees in the shop are trained in the backyard every day, and they often smell this fragrance.

But despite hearing about it, no one was willing to buy a bowl of braised pork rice to satisfy their craving.

As for today's dinner, no one expected the manager to be so generous. Not only did he provide plenty of steamed buns, but he also gave each person a full spoonful of braised food.

Although most of the food is braised vegetables, each spoonful contains three or four fingertip-sized pieces of crispy and delicious braised meat.

The braised meat is so delicious that you want to swallow your tongue!

After dinner, as agreed before, those who work the early shift tomorrow can go home.

But because of Shi Xiaoai's words "I will give you bonuses in the evening", almost all the early shift employees voluntarily stayed to continue working overtime.

Since the night market only sells barbecue, the workload is much less than during the day, and everyone can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Cheng Lin is responsible for the evening barbecue, so this is naturally his busiest time.

Shi Xiaoai invited Aunt Liu, Uncle Wang, Guo An, Song Chunyu and Aunt Song to sit at a table together, and brought over a lot of barbecue skewers to express her gratitude for their timely help today.

Guo An had eaten this kind of barbecue once before at Shi Xiaoai's house, but no one else had ever tried it. Aunt Liu and Uncle Wang praised it highly, and even Aunt Song gave it a few compliments.

The business in the store was getting better and better. At eight o'clock, there was a small peak. All the grilled meat and grilled fish prepared before were sold out. The only things left were vegetarian dishes such as potato chips, eggplant slices, and tofu skin.

Although vegetarian dishes are delicious, they always seem to be missing some flavor without the various meat skewers.

At nine o'clock, the guests finally dispersed.

Wang Xiaofeng called Shi Xiaoai to the office and locked the door behind her.

Then he took out a full bag of fertilizer from the locked metal cabinet on the wall.

She lifted the one-meter-high fertilizer bag onto the table, and then poured all the money inside onto the table!

The money included banknotes and one-yuan bills, but there were also a lot of one-cent and two-cent coins, which piled up together to form a mountain.

This situation was too familiar. Shi Xiaoai remembered that she and Cheng Yang had counted it once a few months ago.

But the piles of money back then were nothing compared to what we have today.

She no longer had the excitement and joy she had at that time.

She was... a little dumbfounded at this moment.

Seeing her staring at the money without moving, Wang Xiaofeng reminded her: "Count it! The employees are all waiting for their bonuses! We can't let them wait forever."

Shi Xiaoai hesitantly turned her gaze away from the pile of money and asked, "Didn't you count it before?"

Wang Xiaofeng answered very frankly: "I counted them in the morning, and this is in the afternoon and evening."

She pointed to the metal cabinet and said, "I haven't taken out the things from this morning yet!"

Shi Xiaoai was completely speechless now.

The two of them counted for a long time. By the time Xiao Ai felt like she was almost unable to count, she finally counted the pile of money clearly.

"The total is one thousand three hundred and twenty-seven and sixty!" Wang Xiaofeng reported the final figure.

"Adding the 767 this morning, today's total sales are 2,094.60 yuan!"

Wang Xiaofeng dialed the numbers on the abacus and muttered to herself.

As soon as the words fell, the room became very quiet. Shi Xiaoai and she were both a little shocked by the number.

Shi Xiaoai calmed herself down, took out the red paper she had prepared in advance from the drawer, and pushed half of it in front of Wang Xiaofeng.

Then he smiled and said, "Let's divide it up. New employees, regardless of their position, will each receive ten yuan. You, Cheng Lin, Aunt Song, and I will each receive twenty yuan. Aunt Liu, Uncle Wang, Guo An, and Kai Kai will each receive five yuan. Wrap everything in red paper and hand it out to everyone. Also, make sure you have completed all the necessary tasks."

"Oh, okay." Wang Xiaofeng finally reacted.

The two of them quickly divided the red envelopes, and Wang Xiaofeng put the rest of the money away and locked it up again.

As they walked out the door with the pile of red envelopes, Shi Xiaoai turned back and said, "Tomorrow we'll have someone come over to put up iron railings in this room, and also install an iron gate outside."

Wang Xiaofeng nodded: "Okay."

Besides setting up the three irons and one counter, Shi Xiaoai felt that hiring a cashier was the right thing to do. It was definitely not feasible to leave this job to Wang Xiaofeng alone.

This is not a question of whether to believe it or not, but the financial system must be improved.

We are still short of people!

Lack of reliable and trustworthy people.

Shi Xiaoai sighed secretly in her heart.

When the two men walked to the front of the restaurant with the big bag of red envelopes, the employees had already finished all the work.

Everyone was sitting there chatting away, but in fact they were all a little absent-minded.

Everyone was looking back eagerly, their eyes full of anticipation.

When Shi Xiaoai and Wang Xiaofeng appeared in front of everyone, everyone subconsciously sat up straight and everyone became excited.
