"The other apprentices don't need to be discouraged. As long as they learn, they will definitely receive a good monthly salary," Gu Lili said.
Moreover, once they learn the skills, their monthly income will be no less than that of the people in the soap workshop.
It could even be several times that amount.
However, it's best to leave it at that.
Before they received their monthly allowance, whatever Gu Lili said was just empty promises.
As for when they will be able to learn it, that depends on their own fate.
"Lili, we will definitely do our best!" someone said, taking the lead.
The others echoed this sentiment.
Gu Lili nodded and took out the meal ticket in her hand.
These are meal tickets that Gu Li specially bought from the mall; they are one of a kind.
It's something that people of this era can't replicate anyway.
"You can collect these meal tickets here at Chenxi every day. Once you have them, go there to eat. You can collect them once a day. Only those who come to work will be provided with meals."
As Gu Lili spoke, she held up the meal ticket in her hand to show everyone.
"The yellow ones are for breakfast, and the green ones are for lunch and dinner," Gu Lili explained.
This also prevents some people from saving their breakfast tickets for lunch and dinner.
Everyone nodded repeatedly, indicating that they understood.
Seeing this, Gu Lili continued, "Tomorrow you will need to bring your own pair of chopsticks and a large bowl. After you finish eating, you will need to wash them yourselves. As for the apprentices, you don't need to go home. I will distribute the bowls and chopsticks to you later."
It's cleaner and more hygienic to eat from your own bowl.
To make it easier for them to store their bowls and chopsticks, Gu Lili specially asked Lao Zhou and the others to build a cabinet.
With their own dishes and chopsticks being washed, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang's lives became a little easier.
After Gu Lili finished speaking, she dismissed everyone and sent them off to do their work.
Turning around, she saw Gu Chenxi looking at Gu Lili with teary eyes.
Seeing Gu Chenxi like this, Grandma Li couldn't help but worry.
Gu Lili was surprised and didn't know what was wrong with Gu Chenxi. She hurriedly asked, "Chenxi, what's wrong with you?"
Gu Chenxi held back her tears and looked at Gu Lili cautiously.
"Girl, are you trying to kick me out?" Gu Chenxi said, feeling wronged.
Since she came to Gu Lili's house, the cooking job has been hers.
Later, as more and more people joined in, Old Mrs. Li started doing it with her.
Suddenly, Gu Lili handed over the cooking duties to Aunt Zhang's family, and she felt like she was no longer of any use.
Upon hearing this, Gu Lili burst out laughing, and the worried frown on Old Mrs. Li's face relaxed.
Gu Chenxi, what a silly girl.
"Chenxi, look at you, what are you saying? Not letting you cook is just a way to get rid of you! I have more important things for you to do."
Upon hearing this, Gu Chenxi sniffed and smiled somewhat embarrassedly.
Gu Lili and Old Mrs. Li exchanged a glance, then each took one of Gu Chenxi's hands and led her to the inn that was still under construction.
Gu Chenxi asked curiously, "Miss, ma'am, what's this?"
Gu Chenxi always thought that this was Gu Lili's expanded workshop.
However, upon closer inspection, it seems that's not the case.
The layout and design are somewhat similar to Baiweixuan.
Looking inside, she could already see two stoves.
Gu Lili winked at Grandma Li, signaling her to speak to Gu Chenxi.
Grandma Li held Gu Chenxi's hand and smiled, "Chenxi, this is an inn built for you and Tiansheng."
Upon hearing this, Gu Chenxi immediately understood and her face turned red.
"Yes! This is a wedding gift from Grandma to you and your third uncle. Tsk tsk tsk, it seems I'll have to change how I address you soon." Gu Lili said with a silly smile.
This time, Gu Chenxi didn't argue. Instead, her pretty face flushed, and she lowered her head.
Privately, Li Tiansheng had already discussed it with her.
Once things calmed down after the autumn harvest, the wedding was held on the 2nd.
Gu Chenxi is now essentially an orphan.
This naturally eliminates the need to discuss it with parents.
Originally, Gu Chenxi was worried that if she and Li Tiansheng got married, it might interfere with Gu Lili's affairs.
Now that Gu Lili has made all the necessary arrangements, Gu Chenxi has no worries.
Seeing Gu Chenxi's shy expression, Grandma Li nodded.
It seems that the two children's marriage is about to be put on the agenda.
Later, we will call Li Tiansheng over to discuss this further.
After visiting the inn, Gu Lili and the others went home.
The medicinal herbs that Liu Ying helped order were already piled up in the empty room, but there was no spare stove in Gu Lili's house to boil the dregs into medicine.
Gu Lili plans to wait until after the autumn harvest to make the medicated soap.
With the inn completed, they continued to expand the workshop, and construction also began on the courtyard that Yin Jiuchen wanted.
Judging from this, it should be completed by winter.
As for the goat milk soap, Gu Lili wasn't in a hurry.
These sheep have been working tirelessly for two months; they deserve a good rest before we start milking them again.
Right now, all we have to do is wait for Zhu the blacksmith to finish building the threshing machine, and then we can wait to harvest the rice.
That day, Gu Lili had just finished washing up and was about to go back to her room to sleep when Gu Yun Chu rushed over in a flurry.
"Sister, Zhu the blacksmith sent someone to the restaurant to say that a threshing machine has been completed and he wants you to go and see it tomorrow," Gu Yun Chu said excitedly.
After dinner tonight, Gu Yun Chu headed to Donghai Town.
We'll bring Zhang Dahua back and check the accounts while we're at it.
Huang Zhixiong told him about it as soon as he went in, so Gu Yun Chu couldn't wait to tell Gu Li Li after he returned.
Upon hearing this, Gu Lili immediately felt wide awake.
Unexpectedly, this blacksmith Zhu was able to replicate the threshing machine in just seven or eight days, which is quite remarkable.
“Okay! I’ll go with you to the East China Sea tomorrow morning!” Gu Lili said happily.
By the way, pick up Lord Lin and tell him the good news.
Gu Yun Chu nodded and handed last month's account book to Gu Li Li.
"Sister, these are last month's account books," Gu Yun Chu said, handing them over with both hands.
Manager Huang Zhixiong is indeed talented.
In just about a month, I've already become quite proficient at it.
Gu Lili glanced at the ledger briefly; her handwriting was much neater than Gu Yun Chu's.
Looking at the ledger, the turnover was actually much higher than last month.
Gu Lili nodded and praised, "It seems that Zhixiong is indeed doing a good job as a manager!"
Gu Yun Chu could not deny this point.
That Huang Zhixiong, he speaks to people in a human language and to ghosts in a ghost language.
Most importantly, he can remember the taste of any customer who has dined at the restaurant more than three times.
Sometimes, he can guess what the customer wants to eat even before the customer has said anything.
