Chapter 204 A generous reward
"If I become your sister-in-law, you won't have anything to eat!" Tang Tian stared at Sun Shaolan, put her hands on her hips, and said with puffed cheeks: "I am your cousin, how can you think of me being your sister-in-law!"
Sun Shaolan touched her nose guiltily and said weakly, "My brother is doing fine too."
"My cousin is very good, but there are so many good people in the world. If I can't marry just one good person, then I will have to marry a thousand times, right?"
Tang Tian reached out and pinched Sun Shaolan's waist and said, "Then you said you wanted to marry someone who is good at martial arts, someone who is better than you. There are many people with good martial arts in this world. Do you want to marry everyone who is good at martial arts?"
"Cousin, I was wrong." Sun Shaolan covered her waist where she was pinched and admitted her mistakes repeatedly.
"Hmph." Tang Tian snorted lightly. Seeing Xiao Jiuyue beside her, she cleared her throat embarrassedly and said, "It's my aunt. She really wants me to be her daughter-in-law."
"I don't want to, my cousin doesn't want to either, my parents and my uncle don't have any such intentions, it's just my aunt who thinks so." Tang Tian pursed her lips helplessly and sighed, "It must be because I'm too good that my aunt likes me."
Tang Tian touched her face and said narcissistically, "Sister Xiao, you said I'm too beautiful, but that's also a kind of trouble."
Hearing this, Sun Shaolan rolled her eyes speechlessly. While Tang Tian was chatting, she secretly took the grape mochi from her plate. She listened to Xiao Jiuyue's voice and said, "Parents' orders and matchmaker's words are final. Since your parents don't agree, they will naturally persuade your aunt to give up the idea."
Tang Tian felt as if the clouds had cleared and the sun had come out when she heard this. She frowned, pursed her lips and said, "Then, didn't I worry all night for nothing?"
"Yes." Sun Shaolan nodded: "I didn't sleep well last night."
Sun Shaolan still had the grape mochi in her mouth. Tang Tian looked at her like this and twitched her lips: "Then why didn't you think of it?"
"I'm not smart. If you ask me to hit someone, I can do it, but if you ask me to think about these things, I can't." Sun Shaolan answered confidently and didn't feel embarrassed at all.
"How dare you say that." Tang Tian stuffed the plate into her arms, pulled Xiao Jiuyue aside, and asked, "Sister Xiao, so what you're saying is that I don't have to worry about anything? Let my parents take care of it?"
"You can think about how to take the candy shop's business to the next level." Xiao Jiuyue answered the question irrelevantly and looked at Tang Tian with a smile. Since Tang's father and mother did not agree, how could Madam Sun be so enthusiastic about this marriage?
"Sister Xiao, I'll think of a solution right away." Tang Tian did what she said and went to deliver the snacks in a hurry. After Fengchunlou opened, many people came to her house to get snacks while eating the delicious snacks in Fengchunlou!
She has to find a way to make more of the new grape mochi and grape jelly so that she can attract more customers!
As long as customers come to her store, she won't believe it. With her eloquence and so many delicious snacks in the store, how can she not attract people?
"Cousin, wait for me." Sun Shaolan protected the mochi in the plate and hurriedly chased after her.
"Miss Tang is really impulsive. She hasn't even put down the plate yet." Lianxin couldn't help but say as she watched their cousins leaving one after another.
"That's fine, let them go." Xiao Jiuyue shook her head helplessly. When Jin Wu returned, she handed him the letter she had written the previous night and said, "Jin Wu, take these grapes back to Fu'an Village as fast as you can. And you must personally hand this letter to Grandmother."
"Yes." Jin Wu responded solemnly, "Don't worry, Miss." After he finished speaking, Jin Wu carefully put the letter into his chest.
Xiao Jiuyue felt relieved when Jin Wu brought the grapes back. The restaurant was open and doing good business, which attracted jealousy and hatred. Xiao Jiuyue and Zeng Qing worked together to deal with some tricks with ease.
"Miss Xiao, thankfully the kitchen is well managed, and the people we invited are all family. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to explain myself." Zeng Qing said with trepidation. He cursed, "I don't know which family is so wicked as to put arsenic in the dishes. If someone dies, the restaurant won't be able to open anymore."
Zeng Qing was also very scared. After the opening, Xiao Jiuyue had rehearsed with everyone in advance, and all the processes of serving dishes were especially important in the kitchen!
There are always at least two people supervising.
It just so happened that someone had added something to the food during normal business hours today. If this were really served to the customers, it would really become a murder lawsuit. Not to mention the No. 1 Restaurant in Hongdu Prefecture, even the people in the restaurant would all be escorted to the government office and sent to jail!
"Thanks to Xiang Tiegen for discovering what happened today, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!" Xiao Jiuyue was still in shock. She only wanted to make money, but didn't want to do anything that would harm the world.
She is not afraid of normal business competition, but she uses such despicable means and does not take other people's lives seriously at all!
"Yes, I have praised Xiang Tiegen today. At the same time, I am going to give Xiang Tiegen a reward. How much money do you think is appropriate, Miss Xiao?" Zeng Qing did not directly say the number at that time. Firstly, it was because the matter was not over yet. Although the person had been caught and handed over to the government, there were still follow-up matters.
Secondly, Zeng Qing really didn’t know how much the award would be for the time being.
"Of course, a generous reward." Xiao Jiuyue finished speaking, and added: "I'm not saying this because he's a villager of Fu'an Village, but because this kind of thing, once it happens, there will be a second time. If there's no generous reward, how will those who do things in the future be willing to carefully discover it?"
"If anyone in the restaurant has second thoughts and dares to harm the restaurant, we will be unable to defend ourselves. We have rewarded Xiang Tiegen handsomely this time, and everyone will be more careful and serious in the future." Xiao Jiuyue was glad that he had used the hotel management method at that time and subdivided all responsibilities into individuals.
"Yes, you are right." Zeng Qing said, and after a long pause, he said, "How about twenty taels of silver?"
"Twenty taels of silver is an ordinary family's annual salary, which would take half a year to earn in a restaurant." Zeng Qing felt that this figure was appropriate.
"Okay." Xiao Jiuyue nodded with a smile.
The next night, after the restaurant closed, Zeng Qing called everyone over and distributed the reward money for everyone's hard work during the opening days.
This was something he and Xiao Jiuyue had agreed upon. Within three days of opening, everyone, whether it was the kitchen staff, the food preparers, or those serving dishes like Xiang Tiegen and others, or those taking orders, were all very busy and worked very hard. Giving them more money would encourage them to work harder.
"Everyone has worked hard these days. I'll give each person a pound of grapes and an extra ounce of silver." As soon as Zeng Qing finished speaking, everyone in the restaurant became excited.
Two baskets of grapes were placed aside, and silver was placed on a tray. Looking at the glittering silver, everyone felt light under their feet when they received it.
