Chapter 206 Recruiting Someone

The sales on the first day of opening reached ten yuan, because the hawkers on the street only sold one kind of thing, but the store had several kinds.

The bun shop is a breakfast shop, so the peak customer flow is in the morning, especially around 6, 7, or 8 o'clock when there are a lot of people.

The couple was so busy that they didn't have time to rest until ten o'clock.

Xiaomei sat down on the chair and said, "There are too many people here this morning. You won't be able to handle it all by yourself when school starts."

"Should we hire someone?"

Zhang Chen thought the same thing, "Let Aunt Xu help look for it?"

"Okay, let's go to the pancake shop tonight and talk about it. We can find a skilled auntie like Aunt Xu."

Otherwise, Zhang Chen would be too busy to handle it all by himself.

And she was not idle after graduation. She went to work in a company. Zhang Chen was still the only one in charge of the bun shop, and he would have to hire people sooner or later.

Because it is winter, the steamed bun shop closes early, usually at six o'clock. Today it closed early and at five o'clock, so I came to the stuffing shop.

At five o'clock, the bakery was cleaning up and getting ready to close.

Su's mother joked with them, "You two want to eat stuffed buns, but they are sold out."

"Oh, we are late." Zhang Chen also said with a smile.

Su's mother said, "You two closed early today."

Xiaomei, "I have something to do with Aunt Xu, so I closed the shop early."

The main buns were sold out and the shop closed.

Mother Gu came over and asked, "What do you want to talk to your Aunt Xu about?"

Xiaomei told him about her plan to hire someone, "Grandma, you don't know how busy it is in the morning. We both don't even have time to move."

Gu's mother had been to the steamed bun shop but it was in the afternoon. It didn't seem busy in the afternoon, so she thought Zhang Chen could handle it by himself!

I didn't expect it to be so busy in the morning.

She said, "Okay, then hire someone and ask your Aunt Xu."

Just then, they saw Aunt Xu coming out of the kitchen. Xiaomei and Zhang Chen said, "Aunt, do you know anyone who is as skillful and clean as you?"

"We don't know anyone there, so it's hard to find one."

Aunt Xu thought about it for a while, but couldn't find anyone for the time being. However, she said, "I'll go back and ask around for you guys."

"Thank you, Auntie. Our bun shop is busy in the morning and not busy at noon and in the afternoon. We pay 15 yuan a month, including breakfast and lunch." Xiaomei explained the welfare benefits clearly.

Aunt Xu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back and help you look for it."

Aunt Xu said she would go back to help look for him, but the person was found the next day.

They were on the same floor as Su He and his friends. Su He's house was on the far left, while the family Aunt Xu was looking for was on the far right.

The family's surname is Li. Aunt Li, who works in the bun shop, is a few years younger than Aunt Xu. She is in her fifties and, according to Aunt Xu, is also very efficient and capable.

After a day's work, he was indeed as clean, efficient and hardworking as Aunt Xu said.

"Let me tell you something. The Li family has a son and a daughter. The son is married. You should have met his daughter-in-law, Teacher Su..." Aunt Xu said to Su He and the others.

Su He, "..I think I have seen him before." Living on the same floor, people going up and down the floors must have seen him before, but they just didn't know him.

Among the families on their level, the one she was most familiar with was Aunt Xu's family, followed by Qian Sui'er's family, which were the two closest families.

"Two months ago, the daughter of the old Li family divorced her husband and returned to her parents' home. It's okay to stay for a few days, but it's not a good idea to stay forever. The old Li family's daughter-in-law was not very happy about it and kept nagging."

"Your Aunt Li is thinking of letting her work and earning fifteen yuan a month, and giving it to her daughter-in-law, so that her daughter-in-law will not be considered to be eating for free."

In fact, when she went to talk to Aunt Li, she wanted her daughter to do the job, but she did not agree. One reason was that Xiaomei and Zhang Chen clearly said that they wanted to hire an aunt.

Second, Xiaomei went to school after the semester started in March, leaving Zhang Chen, the owner, and Aunt Li’s daughter, a divorced woman, as the only ones left in the shop.

They are a single man and a single woman of similar age.

Although these were her guesses, who could say for sure? What if something happened? Wouldn't she be a sinner? She would never do such a wicked thing.

After listening to Aunt Xu's story, Mother Gu looked at Su He with loving eyes. Her daughter-in-law was indeed the best in the world.

Su He: "?" Why does it feel like her mother-in-law's eyes are looking at her a little...hot?

Su's mother sighed, "It's not easy." Then she asked,

"Why did Aunt Li's daughter get divorced?"

Aunt Xu, "I heard that her husband always beat her and she couldn't stand it so she divorced him."

Mother Gu said, "She is also a poor girl."

I don’t understand why some men always beat their wives, even though they marry them to live with them.

Whether it is the steamed bun shop or the pancake shop, they are closed on the 28th day of the 11th lunar month in preparation for the Chinese New Year.

Zhang Chenxiaomei and her husband's steamed bun shop opened for thirteen days and had a total turnover of 152 yuan.

The couple is very satisfied with the turnover. By this calculation, it is no problem for them to earn three hundred yuan a month.

That’s three thousand six hundred a year.

The couple was satisfied.

Aunt Li worked in the steamed bun shop for a week. Normally, her salary should be paid once a month, but Xiaomei and Zhang Chen were thinking about the Chinese New Year.

Aunt Li was paid a week's salary of 3.5 yuan.

Aunt Li took the wages back and gave them to her daughter-in-law, and her daughter-in-law looked better.

She said to Aunt Li, "Mom, I asked Ling'er to sell steamed buns, but she didn't want to do it. Look at Qian Sui'er, she sells steamed buns every day and makes a lot of money in a month."

Aunt Li, "Next year there will be more self-employed people opening businesses. I'll ask Ling'er to find a job then."

It means not staying at home for too long.

Li's daughter-in-law, "You should find a job. What's the point of living in such a big nest at home?"

She was really fed up with her sister-in-law. They were living a good life, but after getting divorced, she went back to her parents' home and stayed there for two months. She didn't bring anything with her and just ate plain rice every day, and she ate the most.

Aunt Li said nothing. There was no way she and her old man would have to rely on their son and daughter-in-law for their retirement.

"Mom, don't just work, you should also find a partner for Ling'er."

Li's daughter-in-law thought that since her sister-in-law didn't want to find a job, she could just marry her off.

In short, don't stay at home. Having a mother-in-law is enough, and you can also have a sister-in-law.

She stayed at home every day, eating and drinking well, and the mother and daughter grumbled about her behind her back.

It goes without saying that the mother and daughter would say bad things about her behind her back.

Aunt Li: "Okay, I'll look for it."

She agrees with her daughter-in-law on this point. A girl cannot live alone all her life. She has to find someone to live with.
