Chapter 477: Still the Same Dishes
"Go back quickly and don't delay your work because of personal reasons."
Li Bing knew the rules of the garrison, so he urged Guoqing to go back. Guoqing clasped his fists repeatedly to thank his two brothers for their help.
"Lele, you are really pregnant."
Chen Xiaoniu waited until Guoqing left before running over. She looked at Li Le's belly with envy, as she also wanted to get pregnant.
"You will soon, too."
"Yeah, I was hoping to have kids soon, but unfortunately I don't."
"There's no rush. I got pregnant after three years of marriage to Guoqing. How long have you been married?"
Chen Xiaoniu also laughed when she heard it. Yes, she had just been married for a short time. There was no rush to get pregnant. The important thing was to make money first. Only after making enough money could she have a baby.
When Cheng Qiao finished her homework and came to the store, she saw the things Chen Xiaoniu had placed on the counter and couldn't help shaking her head. They were all arranged in a mess. She was so inexperienced.
"Lele, girl, come here, I'll tell you how to put things."
"The best-selling cakes are placed in the glass cabinet in the middle, and other food is placed below. The more expensive daily necessities are placed in the glass counter on the left, because you enter and exit from the counter on the right.
Put some cheap and popular daily necessities on the counter on the right, and the same goes for the shelves at the back. Keep food and daily necessities separate, and you two should divide the work and cooperate with each other. "
"I understand, sister-in-law. How about I arrange it like a grocery store?"
Cheng Qiao nodded and went to the warehouse to check. There were many things in the warehouse, and they were placed neatly and clearly classified. This should be the credit of Skinny Monkey.
"There will be two girls coming for an interview later. They both worked as sales clerks before. You can keep whichever one you think is better, or you can keep both of them. The salary will be the fifteen dollars a month you agreed on."
Li Le and Chen Xiaoniu were both delighted, it was good to have someone to help, otherwise Lele would not be able to do heavy work due to his big belly and Xiaoniu had no sales experience, so now they don't have to worry.
"Thank you, second sister-in-law. Let's keep two for now. It will be very busy at the beginning."
"Okay, and after the store opens tomorrow, Skinny Monkey and Big Brother will leave, so let's go to Deng Ji for dinner tonight to celebrate the grand opening of your store in advance."
"Great, we can have a big meal tonight, girl, go talk to your dad and ask them to come over for dinner."
"Hey, Lele, I'll go right away."
"Don't forget to call Uncle Niu, he is Yang Liu's biological father."
"I won't forget it, don't worry."
Chen Xiaoniu walked out in a flash, and Cheng Qiao and Lele began to rearrange the goods on the counter. Many things were placed directly at the door to facilitate customers to buy and sell.
When Han Tong heard Cheng Qiao say that she would treat them to a meal, she quickly volunteered to go to Deng Ji. She also wanted to eat steamed bear paws, and wondered if Boss Deng could get them.
Han Tong sat in Deng Ji's restaurant, looking at the menu over and over again. It was still the same dozen or so dishes, and he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
"Boss Deng, these few dishes are not enough anyway. We have more than 30 people tonight. How about we get some bear paws?"
Boss Deng was startled. Where was he going to get the bear paw? He shook his hands around, but he couldn’t do it.
Han Tong was very disappointed. She looked at her watch and wondered if it would be too late to go to Qilian Mountain to hunt. She had the ability of fast running, so one round trip should be enough.
But Han Tong suddenly remembered that the Saker Falcon raised by Cheng Qiao was still in the Qilian Mountains. She didn't want to eat with a pile of bird shit on her head. It would not only disgust herself, but also disgust others.
Boss Deng counted on his fingers and realized that with more than 30 people, there would definitely not be enough dishes in his restaurant. He would have to go out and buy some. It would depend on what the Han Tong girl ordered.
He winked at his daughter-in-law, who immediately understood, walked to the door and hung a "Closed" sign on it.
"Miss Hantong, if you have game to bring over, I can cook it for you. My shop is small, and the customers are all poor people. At most, they order some dumplings and noodles. They don't even order braised pork. It would be a waste to have too many dishes."
Han Tong nodded in understanding. People here are not well off now, and supplies are tight, so they live by the principle of thriftiness.
"Every table has to have the same dishes anyway, so bring whatever you have. I'm going to go out and see if there's anything I can bring back. By the way, here's a hundred dollars, take it first."
"Hey, thank you Miss Hantong, I understand, you go ahead and do your work, I'll go get ready too."
Boss Deng was extremely happy. He handed the money to his wife and went to the kitchen to busy himself. Han Tong had no idea that she had been away for only ten minutes when Li Huan brought in a skinned blind bear and a dozen wild rabbits and pheasants.
“You…you…”
Boss Deng looked at the pile of game on the ground, especially the blind bear. Even if it was skinned and gutted, it would still weigh at least 200 kilograms. Li Huan looked so weak like a little girl, yet he could carry so much by himself.
No, there must be helpers outside. Boss Deng ran to the door of the store without giving up and looked around. There was no one there. He turned his head and glanced at Li Huan, feeling speechless.
"Brother Li, where did these things come from?"
"A few days ago, I saw a hunter selling wild rabbits, so I bought one from him. He said he had a blind bear at home, so I bought one too. The steamed bear paws you made last time were delicious, so steam some more today."
"Hey, I'll get it done right away. By the way, what time will you guys be here?"
"Around six o'clock in the evening, is that enough time? If not, we can go later."
"That's enough, that's enough. These are just a few dishes. My father used to... Oh, let's not talk about it anymore. Working is more important."
Boss Deng was very happy. With these dishes in the store, he didn't have to go out to buy them, which saved him some expenses. This way, they could make more money.
Li Huan left with a smile. By six o'clock in the evening, Dengji Restaurant was suddenly crowded with people. Li's mother also came to Dengji Restaurant with the help of her beautiful mother.
"This must be Brother Li's mother, no wonder Brother Li is so handsome, it turns out he has strong genes."
The boss of Dengji was very good at reading people's expressions and he kept flattering Li's mother.
"Thank you, Boss Deng. You are so good at talking."
Mother Li nodded with a smile and sat down directly at the innermost table. Jiang Meili quickly took Li Cheng to sit next to Mother Li. Li Le was a little unhappy because this was the seat for her and Cheng Qiao.
But Jiang Meili is also the eldest sister-in-law. She can't just pull Meili out and sit on it herself. Appearance reflects the heart. Li Le was unhappy and his face naturally looked ugly.
Guoqing quickly pulled Li Le's clothes. For the sake of his eldest brother, he couldn't offend his eldest sister-in-law, otherwise his eldest brother would feel bad.
