Black-hearted butcher
There is obviously a purpose for asking this question.
Seeing that she has no worries about food and clothing and she is so young, it is probably not that she wants to come here, but that she wants to introduce someone to me.
"When you come to my place, you have to skewer the meat, clean the place, buy some raw materials, and serve the skewers to the customers. Some customers have bad tempers, and you can't get into conflicts with them. As long as you can do these things, there are no other requirements."
To put it bluntly, it means being down-to-earth and hard-working.
Li Li: "What about the salary and working hours?"
Xiang Qinghao: "70,000 gold coins a month. Working hours are from 8 am to 8 pm."
Li Li thought about it after hearing this.
The working hours of barbecue restaurants are like this: they have to thread skewers in the morning and sell them in the afternoon. This requirement is not excessive.
A salary of 7,000 gold coins may seem like a lot, but the restaurant industry is harder than other industries, so what she gave was considered a normal equal exchange. No one suffered a loss, and no one took advantage.
Overall, it's okay.
"Your request isn't difficult. I have a distant relative who lives on my street. According to seniority, I should call her 'Auntie'. She's never worked and has always been a housewife at home. She's very good at housework. I'll let her come and try tomorrow."
Xiang Qinghao: "Sure, as long as she doesn't mind my small shop, I welcome her to try it."
Li Li: "I won't mind. My uncle is the only one in his family who earns money doing odd jobs, and he has two children to support. I think you're a good person and a good boss, and my aunt is also very nice. I think you two will get along well, so I told you. Let's talk about the details tomorrow."
Xiang Qinghao: "Okay, no matter what the result is. I'm here to thank you now."
"You're welcome." While speaking, Li Li did not forget to stuff the last bite of chicken into her mouth.
The next afternoon, before Xiang Qinghao reached the barbecue restaurant, he saw a woman in clean and simple clothes and neat makeup in the distance of his own barbecue restaurant.
He looks to be in his 40s and it seems he has been waiting for a while.
Xiang Qing took two quick steps and asked, "Did Li Li introduce you?"
"Yes, she told me yesterday that you guys were in need of help, so I wanted to come over and take a look."
When the woman spoke, she was neither impatient nor anxious, her voice was very gentle, and she looked very steady, giving a good first impression.
Xiang Qinghao quickly opened the door of the barbecue restaurant.
"Come in, let's talk slowly."
After Xiang Qinghao entered the barbecue restaurant, he was busy pouring water.
The woman also came in from the door, stood at the table closest to the door, and carefully looked at the decoration of the store.
A small but clean and tidy barbecue restaurant.
"Sister, please sit down." Xiang Qinghao brought a glass of water and placed it in front of the woman. "What should I call you?"
"My last name is Zhou Xiuju."
"Then I'll call you Sister Zhou. My name is Xiang Qinghao, you can just call me Ah Hao."
Sister Zhou nodded and smiled without saying anything.
"Sister Zhou, I guess Li Li should have told you my requirements yesterday, and you've seen my shop. It's not big, but business is pretty good. Frankly speaking, the work is not easy. You also know the salary and working hours. Now do you have anything to ask me?"
Sister Zhou thought for a moment and then asked in the calmest tone, "How are lunch and dinner managed?"
From 8 am to 9 pm, people cannot not eat.
This is a problem.
Xiang Qinghao forgot about eating.
Before, I would skewer the meat at home and eat it at home before selling barbecue.
I've been at a barbecue restaurant these days and also go home to eat.
But once people are hired, all the work has to be done in the store, and meals naturally have to be eaten in the store.
Thinking of this, Xiang Qinghao said to Sister Zhou, "Eat lunch and dinner here. I'll take care of the food. We all eat the same thing."
That's not a problem.
After hearing what Xiang Qinghao said, all of Sister Zhou's concerns were dispelled. Seeing that Xiang Qinghao was a very easy-going person and not the kind of person who would meddle in other people's business, she agreed immediately.
"That's fine with me. If you agree, I'll stay and work today."
After this conversation, Xiang Qinghao felt that Sister Zhou was a nice person, so she readily agreed.
"That's great, I'm short of people right now."
The two hit it off immediately, without further ado, they expressed their feelings through actions.
There is strength in numbers, more work can be done, and therefore more guests can be received.
Since Sister Zhou came, Xiang Qinghao obviously has a right-hand man.
At the beginning, Xiang Qinghao only asked her to string skewers, clean the house, and deliver skewers to customers' tables.
After secretly observing for a while, I found that Sister Zhou was a good person, worked quickly and efficiently, did not play tricks, and was kind to customers without being annoyed or annoyed.
Xiang Qing felt that she had found the right person. With such a good employee, what else could the boss ask for?
So, after running out of meat this time, Xiang Qinghao directly transferred the gold coins to Sister Zhou and asked her to go to Lao Dong's house in the nearby Sun Market to buy pork, beef, and mutton.
This is a new butcher shop that Xiang Qinghao found after renting a shop here.
The old Hu's house that Xiang Qinghao used to go to is now a bit far away.
There is a Sun Market nearby, and the meat at Lao Dong’s is not bad, so I just buy it there.
A total of 40,000 gold coins were transferred to her.
"Sister Zhou, tell Mr. Dong that we're here to buy the meat for the skewers. We want lamb legs, beef ribs, and pork necks. Tell him to cut the best cuts for us."
"Okay." After wiping the last table and washing her hands, Sister Zhou went to buy meat.
Xiang Qinghao watched Sister Zhou go to buy meat, but her hands were not idle either. She calculated the amount of chicken wings she would need for dinner and started to marinate the chicken.
Sister Zhou found Old Dong’s house according to the location Xiang Qing told her.
The boss in the store is fat and strong. It seems that he not only sells meat, but also eats a lot of meat.
When I saw Sister Zhou buying meat, my eyes were almost smiling into slits.
"Come to buy meat. What kind of meat do you want? Just tell me."
Sister Zhou looked at the meat - it was okay.
"I'm from Good Day BBQ. I'm here to buy 30 jin each of lamb shanks, beef ribs, and pork neck. You can make a total of 100 jin. Cut the best cuts for me."
When he heard that it was from Good Days BBQ Restaurant, Mr. Dong looked Sister Zhou up and down.
When Sister Zhou saw his look, she immediately explained, "I was just hired and haven't been working at Good Days for long, so you don't know me."
"Oh, that's it." Old Dong immediately said with a smile, but his smile felt a little strange.
"No problem, I'll cut the meat for you now. Just tell me where to cut it. Let's cut the pork first."
After saying that, Lao Dong took out a large piece of pork from behind and placed it on the chopping board.
"You want that piece? How do you cut it? Tell me."
Although Sister Zhou is not as good as Xiang Qing, she has an extraordinary knowledge of meat because she deals with meat every day when selling skewers.
But she is also an experienced housewife and knows all kinds of meat.
The meat was dark red in color and had a dry and hard appearance. Not even a hint of cool oily sheen could be seen on the fat part. It was obvious that the meat had been stored for who knows how many nights.
And it was overnight meat, not pork neck.
There are pieces of red meat the size of soybeans on the left and right, on top of the white meat, like acne growing on the white meat.
It’s disgusting just to look at, let alone eat?
When Sister Zhou comes, we give her meat like this. Isn't this cheating?
"This is all good meat. Your boss comes to me every day to buy meat. I won't cheat you, don't worry. Just take this piece. The price remains the same and I'll give you the lowest price."
While speaking, he patted the meat on the chopping board with the knife in his hand, as if he had given all the best meat in the store to Sister Zhou.
Sister Zhou looked at Old Dong, then at the meat, and her expression was very ugly.
"This meat is not pork neck, it's lymph meat. Boss, what I want is pork neck, and it's fresh today. You can't buy goods like this as a businessman and give the meat to each person."
Old Dong was immediately taken aback. Seeing Sister Zhou's serious face and frowned look, it seemed that she was not easy to fool.
Mr. Dong immediately put on a smiling face.
"Ouch, you see, I made a mistake and gave you this piece of meat as pork neck. If you want pork neck, I'll give it to you."
"But this meat is cheap, and you can make it into kebabs. Fresh pork neck costs 300 gold coins per pound, but this will only cost 100 gold coins. It tastes just as good as pork neck, and they're both delicious."
Sister Zhou was hired by the barbecue restaurant. Since she could come to buy meat, the boss naturally gave her gold coins.
It’s up to her to decide how much money to spend, and whatever is left is hers.
Selling the bad meat to her and selling the good meat to others is the most reasonable thing for Mr. Dong.
It might even be the most reasonable for both of them.
Mr. Dong saw that Sister Zhou still didn't express her opinion.
"You're the one who usually marinates the meat, right? Just sprinkle the sauce on it and marinate it, and no one will be able to tell what kind of meat it is. Don't worry, big sister, you'll only make money if you buy this meat for grilling."
Sister Zhou looked at Lao Dong again, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Then give me a pound of this meat first."
"Ah, only one pound?" Old Dong was obviously not satisfied with the amount.
One pound of meat can be put on several skewers.
"Yes, I'll go back to the store and try it." Sister Zhou said calmly.
The older sister in front of him said she wanted to give it a try, and Old Dong became more energetic.
"Okay, I'll cut it for you right away. Don't worry, it will be fine. Come back after you're done eating."
After saying that, Old Dong picked up the knife and accurately cut off a pound of lymph meat for Sister Zhou.
Xiang Qing spent almost the whole morning to finish marinating the chicken and just sat down to take a break.
Just as the door was open, I saw Sister Zhou walking over from a distance to buy 100 kilograms of meat.
Her left hand was empty, and in her right hand she held a fist-sized plastic bag, which was so light that it was still swaying in her hand.
"Sister Zhou, where's the meat you bought?"
