Chapter 280: Spend what you earn, don’t even think about taking a penny home
"Bowl?" Jiang Xinbai glanced at the bowl of ice cream in the round-faced girl's hand and shook his head, "No, I only sell ice cream."
"Oh, okay!" The round-faced girl turned around with some disappointment.
At this time, a group of people came in from outside the door, looking at the newly renovated shop with curiosity.
Jiang Xinbai pointed at the wall and said with a smile, "Classmates, today is the first day of our store opening. Buy one get one free. If you want to eat something, hurry up."
"Wow, I saw it a few days ago, buy one get one free, is that also true for popsicles?"
"Yes, as long as it's in our store, it's buy one get one free."
"Okay, then give me two mung bean popsicles."
"I want cream ice cream, hey, two."
At this time, someone saw He Yuanyuan and her friends eating assorted ice cream and asked curiously, "Boss, what are they eating?"
"Oh, that's assorted ice cream. You can add three canned fruits of your favorite to it. Choose here." Jiang Xinbai said, pointing to the note that had just been posted.
"Oh, then I want an assorted ice cream, too. It looks pretty good."
"I want one too. I want one too. You treat me today and I'll treat you tomorrow. This way we can have two days of ice cream for the price of one serving."
"Yes, sure!" They quickly agreed with each other, and Jiang Xinbai started making ice cream bowls.
"The assorted ice cream is ready. Whoever's serving it, take it yourself. I really don't have time to spare right now." Jiang Xinbai put the assorted ice cream on the table and shouted directly at them.
"Hey, my, my," a girl stood up from her seat and ran over with a smile, "Boss, you don't have enough staff, you should hire someone else to help."
Jiang Xinbai patted his bent waist and said with a smile: "Oh, this is our first time opening a store, so we are not prepared. We will find someone to help later."
At this time, He Yuanyuan tapped Zhang Meimei's bowl with a spoon, then raised her chin towards Jiang Xinbai and whispered, "Don't you want to find a part-time job? I think this place is good. It's right in front of the school and convenient."
Zhang Meimei looked up at Jiang Xinbai who was busy and confused, then looked at the door and came up with an idea, "Yuanyuan, take your time eating, I'll go help the boss lady."
After saying that, she stuffed the rest of the ice cream into her mouth, wiped her mouth, and walked directly to the counter with the bowl, "Boss, let me help you."
"Ah, that," Jiang Xinbai hadn't finished speaking when she saw Zhang Meimei carrying a bowl of ice cream and walking towards the customer, looking like a waitress in a small shop.
Jiang Xin rolled her eyes as she watched the number of bowls around her slowly decrease. She had no choice but to yell at her husband, "Jinsheng, hurry up and wash some of the bowls. I'll collect the money."
"Okay, right away." Yang Jinsheng carried the piled up bowls to the back kitchen, turned on the water, poured in some detergent, and started washing the bowls.
When the clock on the wall slowly pointed to ten o'clock and the number of people in the store gradually decreased, Jiang Xinbai immediately sat down on the chair behind him, rubbed his wrist, and thought to himself that when he woke up tomorrow, his hand would be the first thing that would hurt.
"Huh, I can finally take a break," Yang Jinsheng leaned against the table and took a long breath, then pointed at Zhang Meimei who was still cleaning the table, "Xiaobai, when did you hire help?"
Jiang Xinbai glanced at Zhang Meimei and shook his head helplessly, "I didn't recruit any helpers, she came to help on her own."
"Oh, is that so? We need to recruit people anyway, so why not hire her? She looks quite capable."
Yang Jinsheng had been washing dishes in the back, and the little girl was the only one busy in the front. She was very efficient in serving popsicles and ice cream and clearing the table, which saved them a lot of trouble.
"Well, I'll ask her." Jiang Xinbai said and then shouted to Zhang Meimei, "Classmate, stop busying yourself and come here. I have something to tell you."
In fact, Zhang Meimei had already felt that the boss and the boss lady were looking at her, but she hadn't stopped working until the table was cleaned up. However, when the boss lady called her, she had no choice but to stop and walk to the counter. Then, her face turned red, and she looked at Jiang Xinbai a little embarrassedly, "Boss lady, I'm sorry, I just saw that you were too busy, and then..."
"I know. Thank you, classmate. It's all thanks to you today. Otherwise, we two wouldn't be able to handle it alone." Jiang Xinbai looked at her gratefully, and then continued, "Classmate, we're looking for someone to help us. Do you think you can come?"
When Zhang Meimei heard this, she smiled and said, "Boss, I can do it, but I may have to go to get out of class. But I can come right after class. Is that okay? Oh, by the way, my name is Zhang Meimei."
"Oh, I see. But it doesn't matter. The busiest times are during the break and at noon anyway. But we'll be open in the evening in a few days. Is that okay with you?"
Jiang Xinbai thought that when the weather got hotter, it would be dark later, and he would prepare for the barbecue at home, so he would definitely open at night.
"That's basically no problem. If I need to take a leave, I can ask my classmates to help me. Is that okay with you?"
In fact, Zhang Meimei was not short of money. She had just been having conflicts with her family recently. Her sister-in-law also said that she spent too much money, so she just wanted to prove herself and let them know that she could also make money.
"Well, that's fine. Well, in this way, since you don't come here all day, it can be considered a part-time job. I'll give you 40 yuan a month, okay?"
"Okay, okay, boss lady, you've already paid a lot. We only make a little over 20 yuan a month working in the cafeteria, but it includes one meal."
Zhang Meimei heard from her classmates who worked part-time in the cafeteria that working in the cafeteria, in addition to serving food and clearing tables, sometimes they also had to help wash dishes. In comparison, here was already very easy.
"I can't provide meals here right now, because we also buy food." Jiang Xinbai thought that if the business picked up in the future, maybe he could provide meals.
"Then I won't go back. I don't have classes in the afternoon, so I'll just stay here and help."
"Okay, today is your first day at work."
At this time, a head popped in from the door and asked, "Is the barbecue grill what you want?"
"Ah, yes, have you brought it now? Let's put it outside first! Jinsheng, the barbecue grill is here, go out and take a look." Jiang Xinbai shouted towards the inner room.
When Zhang Meimei heard the word barbecue, she thought of the barbecue stall downstairs from her home. Her mouth was watering. "Boss, you still have barbecue. When will you start selling it?"
She was suddenly worried that all her salary, which she had not yet received, would be spent here. She really had to spend whatever she earned and not take a single cent home.
