When Qiu Yan, her aunt, and the four maids returned to the new shop, it was just past noon.
Since the group hadn't eaten yet, Qiu Yan decided to test their cooking skills.
If you're a good cook, strive for perfection; if you're not, then work as a waiter and serve customers.
However, only two of the four maids knew how to cook.
Chuntao and Chunlan stepped forward to start a fire and boil water.
The remaining two, Chunzhu and Chunju, each took turns preparing the side dishes and cooking the vegetables.
These two had previously worked with the cook and were very good at cooking.
While the four of them were cooking, Qiu Yumei asked Qiu Yan for help and organized the arithmetic she had learned from Qiu Yan.
She became increasingly adept at doing business.
With her aunt doing everything she could for her in business matters, Qiu Yan felt at ease.
"Xiaoyan, your math skills are really useful. They've helped your aunt a lot, and even your uncle says they're good."
Qiu Yan thought to herself, "These arithmetic methods have evolved over five thousand years, how could they not be useful? Aunt, from now on, leave these trivial matters to others, so you can have an easier time."
Qiu Yan felt that there were still not enough people.
Currently, the accounts of Baiyang Wonton Shop are temporarily managed by the uncle.
Once everything is on track, we'll need to hire more workers.
Now that my aunt has come to Huaiyuan, Baiyang's wonton shop also needs manpower.
Qiu Yumei smiled and nodded, "Yes, Auntie understands."
Nowadays, she is better at accounting than her husband, so she is very proud of herself.
To be honest, she was able to read thanks to her husband.
At lunchtime, Qiu Yan and her aunt sat by the window, while the four maids sat at a table next to them. They didn't dare to eat unless Qiu Yan said she would start.
Qiu Yan tasted the dishes prepared by Chunzhu and Chunju. Although they were not bad, they could not compare with the chefs of Xingyuelou. They tasted a bit lacking.
After lunch, Qiu Yan instructed the four maids to thoroughly clean the wonton shop inside and out.
She and her aunt, along with two laborers, went to the market to buy bedding and other necessities.
By the time these things were purchased, the backyard was almost tidied up.
In the backyard of the shop, besides the woodshed, there are six rooms. Qiu Yan and her aunt each occupy one room, the four girls live in two rooms, and Ling Qi and Ling Ba temporarily live in the other room.
Once everything was arranged, Qiu Yumei began teaching Chuntao and the others how to make wontons.
Although the four girls were a bit slow in wrapping the wontons, wrapping wontons wasn't difficult, and they picked it up quickly.
Because Qiu Yumei was not as strict as the previous mistress of the house, the four of them gradually relaxed and studied very seriously.
Before dinner, Qiu Yan began teaching Chunlan and Chunju how to cook.
The dishes she makes are all the dishes from Baiyang Wonton Shop.
During the cooking process, adding her specially prepared fresh ingredients makes it taste absolutely delicious.
During dinner, Qiu Dafu and Jiang Liu came to the shop.
Qiu Dafu has been frequently traveling between Huaiyuan and Baiyang in recent months, which has become a habit.
Jiang Liu often accompanied them as well.
Qiu Yan wasn't surprised that the two of them came. "Sister Jiang, Second Uncle, come and have dinner with us."
"Second brother, Miss Jiang, please have a seat." Qiu Yumei saw her second brother and future sister-in-law and hurriedly went to the kitchen to add two more sets of bowls and chopsticks.
She hadn't spoken much to her future sister-in-law and was somewhat unaccustomed to it.
After all, Jiang Liu was a daughter of a prominent family, while she was just a peasant woman.
However, the thought of her second brother getting married soon filled her heart with something.
