Chapter 255 The regular salary has been paid!
After returning to the shop, Xu Zhiyi first distributed the regular salary to the pastry shop!
Xu Zhiyi: "Everyone come to the backyard for a moment"
Upon hearing this, everyone put down their work and lined up in the backyard.
Seeing that everyone was gathered, Xu Zhiyi spoke up, "Everyone has been working in the shop for about a month and six days! Today is the day to pay the regular salary. Based on everyone's good performance over the past month, each person will be given an extra fifty coins as a reward."
"I hope that after this, everyone can continue to work hard. If you keep doing well, there will be rewards next time."
Upon hearing this, the Mu, Wu and Ma families were extremely excited. They were already very excited to earn 450 cents a month, and now with another 50 cents, that would be half a tael of silver!
Oh, calculated this way, my salary is higher than what most waiters in this town earn!
They decided that in order to earn an extra fifty cents next month, they would work harder.
Xu Zhiyi: "Aunt Mu, Aunt Wu, Aunt Ma, the three of you will earn 15 wen a day, which is 450 wen a month, plus the 50 wen reward, a total of half a tael of silver."
As he spoke, he gave each person half a tael of silver.
The three of them looked at the half tael of silver in their hands and were very happy: "Boss, don't worry, the three of us will never be lazy and will definitely work hard."
Xu Zhiyi nodded and looked at Zhang Lingfu. "Uncle Zhang, you are the accountant and you also help to receive customers most of the time. So I originally promised you 12400 wen a month, but now I will give you 12500 wen a month."
Zhang Lingfu: "Thank you, shopkeeper!!"
After paying the four people the regular silver, they happily continued to work. Xu Zhiyi called out Su, Qin, Shen Wuyou, and Shen Changan.
Xu Zhiyi gave each person two taels of silver.
Qin was surprised when she saw the two taels of silver in her hand. She quickly tried to stuff it back into Xu Zhiyi's pocket: "Zhiyi, what are you going to do? Two taels of silver is too much!"
Xu Zhiyi: "Aunt, take it. We were able to open this shop because you got up before dawn to help make cakes. You should take these two taels of silver."
Su, who was standing by, also agreed, "Take it! We have really benefited from you these days. If you don't take it, we will make you suffer again! There is no reason why you should suffer and not get the money, right?"
Seeing this, Qin shook her head helplessly and had to accept it!
Shen Wuyou: "Madam, I don't want silver"
Shen Changan also nodded: "I don't want it either"
Xu Zhiyi: "Silly, this is your allowance, and it is also my private money for you two."
After hearing this, the two nodded: "We don't need any private money."
"No, just keep what I give you." After saying that, he looked at Su who was about to hand the silver back and said, "Mom, you too, there's no room for negotiation."
"Okay, I have to go to other shops, so that's all for now!"
The first to come was the noodle shop. It was just after lunch time and the shop was not very busy, so Xu Zhiyi paid them their wages.
Until Chisheng, he had not worked for a full month, but everyone else had been paid, so he was paid as well. He could keep up with everyone else next month. He worked for a total of seventeen days and was paid 255 coins.
Seeing that he could also receive his salary, Chi Sheng was both excited and surprised: "Boss... Boss, did you remember it wrong? I haven't even been paid for a month!"
Xu Zhiyi: "If I remember correctly, this is half a month's salary for you. Take it! Keep working hard."
"Yes, thank you, shopkeeper! I will not let you down!"
Chi Sheng held the 255 copper coins strung together with a rope and felt like he was dreaming. He could really earn money. He could support his family and provide for his parents in their old age.
Thinking about my parents washing clothes for others in the middle of winter, with their hands soaked in cold water all day long, I wonder how cold the winters must have been back then!
All the people who received their wages were grinning so hard that their teeth were showing.
Seeing Chi Sheng staring at the copper coins in his hand, Yin Xiaotao went over and patted him on the shoulder: "Hey, are you staring at it in a daze? The silver won't get any more even if you keep looking at it. What's wrong? Do you think it's too little?"
Chi Sheng came back to his senses and saw Yin Xiaotao standing so close to him. His face flushed immediately, then he took a step back without making a sound and shook his head: "No, I'm happy. This is the first time I've earned money with my own hands. What's more worthy of happiness is that I will be able to support my parents in the future!"
Hearing this, Yin Xiaotao touched her purse and said, "Hey, I'm very happy too. From now on, I can afford as many flowers as I want!"
When Xu Zhiyi arrived at the milk tea snack shop and received his wages, he entered the shop. There were quite a lot of customers, most of whom ordered hot milk tea, scented tea, or melon seeds and peanuts snacks, and sat in the cubicle chatting with friends.
The snacks in this shop are made from the pastry shop, including biscuits and cookies of various flavors. Later, chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns were discovered in the space, so various spicy dried meats were made.
The wages were the same: half a tael of silver, or five hundred coins, per person.
Finally, I arrived at Yanyi Pavilion. The embroiderers were paid one tael, five hundred wen of silver, while the clerks were paid based on commission. If they did not exceed the minimum, they would only be paid the minimum. Fortunately, they all worked hard and could get at least one tael, two hundred wen, and the highest one tael, seven hundred wen.
Huang and Wang Xiaohe jumped up with joy when they got one, two or three hundred coins. It’s no wonder they did it, because they truly earned so much money on their own!
Xu Zhiyi looked at the two of them and smiled.
Wang Xiaohe: "Sister Zhiyi, if you are free someday, I will treat you. Just order whatever you want to eat!"
Xu Zhiyi: "Okay, you should keep this little bit of money!"
Wang Xiaohe: "I'm not in a hurry to save up for a dowry or find a son-in-law, so I can still spend the money! Hehe!"
Xu Zhiyi smiled and tapped her forehead, then turned and went upstairs. When he came to Luo Jinqiu, he handed her a purse and said, "Aunt Luo, this is one month's dividend."
Upon hearing this, Luo Jinqiu opened his purse and saw that it was filled with silver bills. He opened it and found three of them, totaling one hundred and fifty taels.
"Zhiyi, isn't this too much? Isn't it only 30% profit?
Xu Zhiyi: "Aunt Luo, I didn't give you too much. If you don't believe me, go check the account book. Okay! Our shop has made a good profit since it opened. This is still a small amount. But our shop is gradually stabilizing, and we will make further progress next month."
Seeing that Xu Zhiyi didn't seem to be lying, Luo Jinqiu felt relieved and put away his purse.
