Chapter 286: Better than hard work and no money
For the whole night, Yang Jinsheng had been busy in front of the stove, while Jiang Xinbai was busy shuttling back and forth among the crowd. Finally, they stopped to catch their breath when all the prepared ingredients were gone.
"Everyone, I'm sorry. We didn't prepare enough ingredients today. Tomorrow, we will definitely prepare more." Jiang Xinbai smiled apologetically at the customers who wanted to place more orders.
"Oh, I just had a taste and it's gone. It's really unsatisfying."
"That's right, it's not even nine o'clock yet, and the nightlife has just begun. You guys are still not well prepared!"
Yang Jinsheng wiped his sweat, smiled at everyone, and said, "Hey, we will definitely prepare more food tomorrow, and we will also send beer tomorrow. I hope everyone can come and patronize us again."
"Okay, okay, brothers, let's go home. The boss's refrigerator has been emptied." A customer joked with a smile.
"Thank you all for your support. I will still need your care in the future."
After the last table of customers left, Jiang Xinbai quickly drank a large glass of water, then pulled her husband to sit down, "Jinsheng, stop working, take a break, we will clean up the rest."
"Yes, uncle, you stood there the whole night without saying anything. The food was roasted over the stove. I could smell the barbecue smell when I walked next to you." Yang Jiazhen poured Yang Jinsheng a glass of boiled water.
Yang Lili didn't say much. She quickly collected all the plates and wine glasses on the tables outside. Then she filled a basin with water, added some detergent, and cleaned the tables one by one.
Zhang Meimei smiled and said, "Lili, you use detergent to wipe the front and I will rinse it with clean water at the back. This way it will be guaranteed to be clean."
"Why bother with that, uncle? I see there's a faucet at the door. Do you have a longer hose? Can I just connect the water and flush it directly?" Yang Jiazhen saw the faucet at the door at a glance and thought it would be more convenient to use it!
Jiang Xinbai quickly stopped her thoughts, "That won't work. The table is made of wood. If you wash it directly with water, it will get moldy, right? You'd better wipe it slowly!"
Yang Jiazhen waved her hands helplessly, "Okay then, you guys clean up outside, I'll wash the dishes, and then go back to bed early. This is really more tiring than my work, but it's worth it."
"That's right. This is only the first day. You should just help me for a few days. You two can leave after I recruit someone."
Jiang Xinbai thought that since she was near the factory, her monthly salary could only be 70 or 80 at most, so it was impossible to recruit some young people. It seemed that she had to focus on middle-aged women who were nimble and skillful. With this thought, she came up with an idea.
Because Zhang Meimei's dormitory was about to close at 10 o'clock, Jiang Xinbai asked her to go back early, and the remaining work could be done by a few people.
"Oh, my waist can't take it anymore, aunt, you guys should hire a few more people. You see, when it's busy, my uncle won't have time to bake."
Yang Jiazhen noticed that many customers tonight felt that the waiting time was a bit long, and if there were two people, the grilling speed could be increased.
"What can we do? How about you grill it yourself?" Jiang Xinbai raised his chin and asked Yang Jiazhen.
Yang Jiazhen quickly waved her hand and refused, "No, that won't do. How can a young girl like me stand the smoke and fire? You should find someone else!"
"Look how scared you are. Okay, this is not something you should worry about. Your uncle and I know what to do. Go back when you're done! You can get up later tomorrow."
Anyway, there are not many people during the day, as people who should go to school or work go to school. So let these two sleep a little longer!
The barbecue restaurant had been doing good business for about ten days. Jiang Xinbai also hired three middle-aged women a few days ago. They had no problem washing and serving dishes, but they couldn't write, so Jiang Xinbai was still responsible for taking orders.
That afternoon, Yang Jiazhen passed by Jiang Xinbai several times, wanting to say something but saying nothing. The third time she passed by Jiang Xinbai, she couldn't help it anymore, so she pulled Yang Jiazhen and asked, "Zhenzhen, just tell me what you want to say, don't keep hanging around in front of me, I'm dizzy because of you."
Yang Jiazhen chuckled twice when she saw this, and then she came close to Jiang Xinbai and whispered, "Aunt, I see that your store has stabilized. Lili and I..."
"What? Have you found a new job?" Jiang Xinbai knew she wanted to leave when she heard her say that. So she could just leave. It just so happened that she could pay them their wages for the past few days.
"Not really." Yang Jiazhen glanced at Jiang Xinbai and continued, "Lili and I discussed setting up a stall at the night market to sell some small items. Hehe, we are still short of money."
"Oh, that's the situation! All right! I'll get the money for you when I get home, but what do you want to sell?"
"We want to sell some things that girls like, such as hairpins, earrings and so on. Auntie, do you think it's okay?" Yang Lili came over at some point and silently added.
"Wow, you came here without making any noise, and almost scared me." Jiang Xinbai put his hand on his chest, then nodded and continued, "But your idea is good. I thought about putting these in the store before, but later I was too busy and gave up the idea. If you need it, I can tell you the wholesale store I found before. Go there and bargain as much as possible to lower the purchase price."
"Okay, auntie, we need it!" Yang Jiazhen and Yang Lili nodded repeatedly. This saved them the trouble of looking for sources of supply.
…
In July, the weather in Shenzhen was so hot that Jiang Xinbai wanted to hide in the refrigerator.
On this day, Jiang Xinbai, who was eating popsicles, saw her third brother coming over from afar. She swallowed the popsicle in her mouth and greeted him with a smile: "Third brother, come quickly. It's hot today. I'll get you an ice cream."
Jiang Baocheng first rushed to the pool and washed his face with water, then took the ice cream and took a big bite, "Huh, I'm finally alive. This day is really too hot, stuffy and hot, very uncomfortable."
"Hehe, yeah! But the business in my store is getting better and better." The weather is getting hotter, and more and more people are eating ice cream and drinking cold drinks. Some customers who like to cool down are not satisfied with just one, so they eat three or four right in the store, and the sales volume goes up rapidly.
"You guys, this business is good, but it's too tiring. I see that both of you have lost a lot of weight. There's actually no need to work so hard."
Jiang Baocheng looked at Jiang Xinbai with some distress. Look, his little sister is so tired that her chin is pointed. If I saw her like this, I would definitely cry out of distress.
Jiang Xinbai didn't think so. She shook her head and said with a smile, "What can we do about it? We don't have any other skills, so we opened this store by accident. Fortunately, the business is good, so the hard work is worth it."
Well, just like she said, who doesn't know to do easy and high-paying work? That means you don't have the ability! If you can earn money by working hard, then do it. It's better than working hard and not getting paid.
Jiang Baocheng nodded thoughtfully and replied, "That's right. How many people work so hard but still can't make any money! But I came here today to tell you that those houses have been completed and the interior has been slightly renovated. Do you want to go and take a look?"
