As a result, the demand for mooncakes has surged to an unprecedented level, and even two ovens are not enough to meet the demand.
Mu Chun and others suggested adding more ovens, but she rejected the idea. The high sales volume of mooncakes is mainly due to the festival; once this period is over, sales will inevitably gradually return to a normal level.
There's no need to prepare too many ovens; two are enough! Qin San Niang's goal is to introduce Western-style pastries, and Zhang Shi already knows the recipes and such!
The Mid-Autumn Festival has finally arrived as scheduled amidst everyone's busy schedule.
The day before the festival, Qin San Niang took it upon herself to give the employees of her two shops and the helpers in her workshop a day off and distributed Mid-Autumn Festival benefits.
The employees were very excited when they heard that the company was going to give out benefits, especially the new employees. They never expected that they could have a holiday and benefits! And it wasn't just for the long-term employees; the new employees were also included.
The long-time employees weren't surprised; that's just how generous the boss is! Even so, they couldn't contain their excitement, wondering what kind of surprise they were getting. If only they could get some mooncakes! The mooncakes in the shop weren't cheap, and although they sold them every day and had tried them themselves, they still couldn't bring themselves to buy them. If they could get two mooncakes to take home for their families to try, that would be truly wonderful!
Qin San Niang did not disappoint everyone. Her workshop produced mooncakes, so how could she not give them out?
So, on the night before the Mid-Autumn Festival, all the mooncakes that the bakery worked overtime to produce were used to give as welfare to its own employees.
Hearing that the mooncakes were a perk for them, they were even happier and worked with great enthusiasm.
The fact that two shops with the "Ruyi" sign closed for the Mid-Autumn Festival at the same time surprised industry insiders! With business so good, they wouldn't want to let the money slip through their fingers!
Of course, the employees of those shops also threw darts of envy and jealousy at their counterparts in those two shops! Their expressions were almost as if they were saying, "Do you need any more staff?"
The employees were all smiles, walking along the road with their benefits in a very high-profile manner. They even greeted people they passed by. When the people came to their senses, they asked in surprise, "Why aren't you at work now? Why did you buy so many things?"
Everyone smiled smugly, thinking, "That's exactly what we've been waiting for."
"Hey, isn't it a holiday? Our boss is so considerate of his subordinates. Not only did he give us a whole day off, but he also gave each of us a box of mooncakes, a bag of brown rice, and thirty coins!"
"Wow, really? Is your employer really that generous? Everyone gets one?" The person asking was somewhat skeptical. Such an incredibly generous employer is a rare sight these days! Are you sure this isn't a loss-making venture?
"Of course, everyone gets one! I'm new here, so I get less. The old guys in the shop got fifty coins! Hey, when I've worked here for a year, I'll get this much in benefits too. Oh, just thinking about it makes me happy."
Everyone who heard this stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
"How long did you work there? How much money did you earn?"
"Hey, me! I've only been here for three months. The landlord is so kind; he gave each newcomer twenty coins!"
Although there aren't as many long-time employees, it's still pretty good! Their faces are beaming with smiles, their mouths stretched wide, as if they want everyone to know.
...
The speaker was one of the thugs who had just entered Ruyi Tavern. Ever since Guo Er found them this good job, the group had changed their ways and started anew. They had kept the tavern's lobby in perfect order, which made Qin San Niang very satisfied.
The thug's name was Dong Xiaoyu, and he was actually just a young man of twenty-three or twenty-four. His appearance had nothing to do with his name. Although his name was very subtle, his appearance was quite rugged! He and Guo Er became friends after a fight and developed a life-or-death friendship.
Dong Xiaoyu is very adaptable, and Qin Sanniang thinks he is a talented person. If a mountain villa is built in the future, she will definitely have to move him there as the head guard...
He was young and had no parents, but he was the head of the family and the support of his younger brother and sister!
I had no choice but to go to the market to collect protection money; I had to make sure my younger siblings survived.
As for how he and Guo Er met, it's easy to imagine that two petty thugs who collect protection money would inevitably run into each other one day. It would be a disservice to their professional ethics if nothing happened between them. But they weren't completely clueless, and knowing each other's predicament, they developed a sense of camaraderie. That's how Guo Er ended up helping his brother out after he got out of trouble.
Having the opportunity to work at Ruyi Tavern, Dong Xiaoyu and the others treated the shop as their own, managing it with great care. It was their livelihood, and no one could undermine it.
Who knows, this might be their only chance to turn their lives around!
He and his brothers worked diligently, earning the respect of the shopkeeper and the owner. But no one expected the owner to be so generous, even providing such a lavish Mid-Autumn Festival bonus! He didn't leave any of his brothers out.
They've only worked there for two or three months, yet they still get benefits, even if they're a little less than the long-term employees. But that's reasonable, isn't it?
Without further ado, he will definitely serve his employer well from now on, working like a slave without complaint!
The younger sister and brother of the Dong family both reacted in the same way, filled with curiosity about who this boss was who had helped them through their difficulties. They wondered if they could also get a job when they grew up...
The helpers in the workshop also received the same benefits. The amount of bonuses varied depending on the length of their work, and they received the same other benefits as the employees in the shops in the county town.
The families of those who were working were all immersed in a joyful atmosphere; life was truly hopeful!
Surprisingly, even teenagers like Caihua received benefits, and the same ones as the adults.
Caihua's mother stared in disbelief at the box of mooncakes, a bag of brown rice, and thirty coins her daughter had brought home. "Caihua, is this really a treat from Da Wa's mother? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"What did you say, Mother! This is the benefit I earned through hard work! Big Brother said that as long as you're a helper in the workshop, no matter your age, it's all the same!"
Caihua's little face was upturned, a proud smile on her lips. Look, although she's a girl, she's now the first in Shiligou! She's proud, she's honored!
Chen Youliang and his son, along with Caihua's grandmother, were equally shocked. They all praised Da Wa's mother in their hearts, saying she was a truly remarkable person!
The group glanced sideways at Caihua Niang, their warning in their eyes quite intriguing.
Caihua's mother flinched, thinking to herself, "Why are you all looking at me?!" Now, she truly respected Da Wa's mother! Let alone asking her to provoke her, she would even take a detour if she saw her on the village road.
