Chapter 78
The new store quickly got on track, eliminating the trouble of setting up a stall. Su Miao and Su Yuanzheng decided to expand the business hours from only serving lunch to dinner, and the turnover also doubled.
This means that the amount of food that needs to be processed has doubled. It is not enough to rely on two temporary workers, Su Miao and Ye Jiayin, as they still have to go to school in the future. So they are considering finding an employee to take charge of the front office work.
However, these employees cannot be recruited casually. If you recruit people with bad intentions, it will be dangerous.
They were unfamiliar with Nancheng and didn't know where to find reliable people. When they were worried, Su Miao casually asked Ye Jiayin, "Sister Jiayin, do you know anyone reliable looking for a job?"
Jiayin thought for a moment and said, "What kind of person are you looking for? Although I don't know many people, I might just happen to know."
"Hardworking? Honest? Our family is in the food business, so we have to be careful."
"As for being diligent and honest, how about veterans? I have a childhood friend whose uncle is in charge of veteran resettlement. He's coming to Nancheng for the summer vacation, so I can ask him for help."
"Ah! Yes! Of course! It would be great if you could know everything about it."
The next day, taking advantage of the break between lunch and dinner, Su Miao followed Ye Jiayin to the gymnasium.
During the summer vacation, many students came here to play ball. Ye Jiayin found a boy in the badminton venue.
He was playing tennis with his friend, waving the racket with his right arm, jumping high from time to time, or running around swiftly, looking very sunny and healthy.
After one round, Ye Jiayin called out to him, "Tang Ziyi!"
The boy turned his head, and Su Miao exclaimed in his heart: "Wow~ handsome boy~"
"Huh? Jiayin? Didn't you say you were busy these days?" Tang Ziyi walked over, and Su Miao found that he seemed to be only slightly shorter than her father.
Turning around and looking at Ye Jiayin, who was half a head taller than him, Su Miao felt inferior.
Great, great! Is this a racial advantage or something else? She was already 1.55 meters tall before even entering the first grade, and she was already a standout in the class. Unexpectedly, she looked like a little kid next to these two northern kids.
Isn't Sister Jiayin only two years older than me? In her previous life, she went to college in Beijing and didn't feel that she was that short. Why is the difference so obvious now?
While Su Miao was daydreaming, Ye Jiayin had already discussed everything with Tang Ziyi. Turning around, she saw Su Miao with a pitiful look on his face, wondering what he was thinking.
"Hey! Come back to your senses! What are you thinking about?"
Tang Ziyi recognized that this was the little girl who spoke to Jiayin in Xinhua Bookstore last time. Now she looked a little dull, not at all as smart as Jiayin praised.
Su Miao looked up and said, "Hello, I'm Su Miao."
"I know. Jiayin just told me that since you call her Sister Jiayin, you have to call me Brother Ziyi. I'm two years older than Jiayin."
After all, he was a native Beijinger, so Tang Ziyi spoke with a stronger Beijing accent than Ye Jiayin, who often traveled around the country with his mother.
Su Miao took a deep breath and said, "Okay, okay, that means you are 16 years old, right? Sister, I was 23 in my previous life. Why did you grow to 1.8 meters tall at the age of 16? It doesn't save fabric for the country at all."
She needed help now, so she had to be polite. She smiled sweetly and said, "Brother Ziyi, can you help me?"
"Hahaha! I'm just teasing you. It's such a small matter, but Jiayin has already spoken up. I'll definitely complete the task! When I get back, I'll ask my uncle to find a few suitable ones. I'll bring the detailed information over so your family can choose."
Tang Ziyi laughed freely, just like that young boy who had few worries and was fearless.
"Then thank you, Brother Ziyi."
Tang Ziyi waved his hand casually: "You're welcome. You're also providing employment opportunities for veterans, which is a good thing."
After the matter was settled, Ye Jiayin said, "In that case, let's go back."
Tang Ziyi quickly called out to her, "Hey! Now that you're here, why don't you play for a while before leaving?"
Ye Jiayin looked at Su Miao hesitantly, and Su Miao said sensibly, "Sister Jiayin, go play basketball. I'll cheer you on from here."
"It's so boring just watching, Fengzi! Bring me another racket and practice with my sister."
Tang Ziyi waved to the boy who had just practiced with him, motioning him to come over and take Su Miao to the court next door to play badminton.
Zhang Feng walked over with a racket, looked down at the little guy, and suddenly felt a headache. How should he practice?
"Hello... hello?"
Su Miao greeted him with a sly smile. "Oh my god! How come this person is taller?!!! What did they eat to grow taller? I can't be friends with them, or it's bad for my spine!"
Ye Jiayin and Tang Ziyi played tennis for half an hour. Ye Jiayin looked at the time, stopped serving, and said, "Okay, I have to go back and take Miaomiao back to rest. There will be a lot of customers at the restaurant during dinner."
Tang Ziyi took out a clean towel from his bag to wipe her sweat, then took out a bottle of water, unscrewed it and handed it to her.
"Hmm? What is this?" Ye Jiayin looked at the bottle of water.
Tang Ziyi smiled and said, "It's something new, bottled mineral water that you can drink directly from the unscrew. I heard it comes from a spring in Longchuan, Guangdong. This water is rich in minerals and is good for your health. However, the production process is limited, so the output is not high."
Ye Jiayin took a sip and found the water to be quite smooth. She nodded and said, "This packaging is quite convenient. If it's sold on the street in the future, I won't have to carry a water bottle around with me."
"Of course! It's not so bad in Beijing, but here in Yongcheng there are only a few stores that sell soda and soy milk, so I can never find any."
As they talked, they walked towards Su Miao together.
I saw the big guy Zhang Feng passing the ball to Su Miao. Yes! Passing the ball!
There was no smash or spike. She just gently hit the ball and it landed accurately in front of Su Miao. She could just wave her hand to hit the badminton over, without even having to run.
When she caught the ball easily, Zhang Feng encouraged her by saying, "Very good! Very good! Right, right, right! That's it!"
The tone was exactly the same as the one he used to coax his five-year-old sister.
When she returned, Ye Jiayin introduced her that Tang Ziyi and Zhang Feng were both her childhood friends, who grew up together in the same compound. Zhang Feng's father used to be a guard for Tang Ziyi's grandfather.
Oh! A third-generation red! That means Jiayin is also a third-generation red! But I don’t think I’ve ever heard her talk about her father?
Sister Jiayin took her mother’s surname, Ye. Could it be that she is divorced like their family?
Su Miao imagined a big drama in his mind, and from time to time he stole glances at Ye Jiayin, and then his gossipy eyes were caught red-handed.
"My dad is in the confidentiality department, don't ask anything else." Ye Jiayin said lightly.
Got it! Su Miao instantly shut his mouth tightly!
