After looking around, she found problems everywhere and nothing satisfied her.
“Your boss has some things to do recently, so he asked me to come and help out at the store for a few days. Everyone else is busy with their own things as usual, so don’t worry about me.”
Looking at the five people in front of her, Song Lili realized they were all married women—what a monotonous group!
Then, the five people took their tools and started cleaning. They cleaned the areas that the guests could see very thoroughly, leaving them spotless, but they didn't pay much attention to the kitchen.
Song Lili frowned. "Who usually works in the kitchen?" Surely all five of you can't be outside all the time.
Two people stepped forward, and Song Lili told them to go and disturb the kitchen. "The kitchen should be disturbed properly, just like outside, and kept clean."
The remaining three people were disturbing the outside world. Zhang Shengtian took the child, boiled water, and then helped.
"Boss, keep an eye on things. Once they've finished cleaning, have the two in the kitchen start preparing. I'm going out for a bit."
Song Lili planned to go and see if there were any ready-made clothes suitable for her employees to wear, and then buy some hats, masks, and gloves.
The two people working in the kitchen must wear hats, masks, and gloves, and the staff outside must wear uniforms.
By the time Song Lili returned, it was almost noon, and people were starting to come into the shop one after another.
Song Lili quickly took the hats, masks, and gloves into the kitchen. "These are for you. You must wear them when you go to work."
"If you don't bring it, you'll be fined." Hygiene is a matter that must be strictly enforced.
"This...we have to pay a fine?" The two of them were frightened, cowering and full of dissatisfaction.
Song Lili said very seriously, "Of course, this is something that goes into the mouth, so hygiene must be done well."
"As long as you remember to bring it to work every day, there won't be any problems."
"This...this won't cost money, will it?"
"No, this is provided by the store. You just need to wear it for a few days each day and make sure your hair doesn't fall in."
"Okay then." Upon hearing that it was free, the two relaxed. As long as they brought it along, it wouldn't cost them much, so they readily put it on.
At lunchtime, everyone just ate something casually.
Lin Xue provides meals here, but the way she does it is clearly just to fool people.
Song Lili had said before, "Sister Li, see what dishes are in the kitchen, and cook a few for everyone's lunch."
How can you work well if you don't eat well?
The person Song Lili called Sister Li was clearly taken aback. "Cooking the vegetables from the kitchen? Aren't you going to eat the leftovers from this morning?"
"Yes, we'll do it this way from now on. You must eat well so you can work properly, right? You all have it tough too."
"If possible, let's make a meat dish. I see we have meat, let's make it while it's fresh."
These people can skip meals, but she doesn't want Zhang Shengtian to be misled either. He's getting old, and he can't afford to be malnourished.
"Okay, I'll do it right away." Sister Li happily agreed and went to do it.
Another woman was also surprised, but she laughed happily and went to help.
Of course I'm happy to have meat for lunch! Even if we cook extra, I'm still happy!
For restaurants that serve food, mealtimes are usually served earlier or later than usual, so when Song Lili and her group ate, it was already past lunchtime.
But everyone was still very happy because the food was especially good today, the best meal they had eaten here. The fatigue and other things didn't seem so bad anymore.
Lin Xue was having lunch at the same time. When she saw the food that was served, she was stunned.
She ate with several accountants. There were four people, and the meal consisted of three dishes and a soup. One of the dishes was a main dish, one was a stir-fried vegetable dish with meat, and the other was a purely vegetarian dish. Even the soup was egg drop soup.
This...this is even better than what she eats at home!
"You...you've always eaten like this?" Lin Xue simply couldn't believe it.
One of the older men smiled slightly and said, "Of course, it's not like this every day. It's just that your visit today is a bit special."
Lin Xue finally breathed a sigh of relief. If this happened every day, she would be terrified.
Seeing Lin Xue's frightened expression, the younger one found it amusing. "Frightened? I was frightened when I first came here too."
“Although we don’t eat like this every day, we still eat very well, and we have meat at every meal.”
"We probably only eat such a fancy dish once a week, but isn't this already quite good?"
Outside, who eats meat once a week? That's only for rich people, okay?
For ordinary people like them, eating once a month is a joy, so the young woman felt that her job was absolutely worthwhile.
"It's very good." Lin Xue nodded blankly. How could it not be good? It's even better than what my family eats.
Comparing it to what she had in her own shop, Lin Xue fell completely silent. There was simply no comparison; they were worlds apart.
There were many things she saw today that completely overturned Lin Xue's understanding, making her realize how narrow-minded she had been before.
She decided to study hard here and make sure to communicate more with her sister-in-law in the future, as there is much she can learn from her sister-in-law.
After Song Lili finished lunch, someone quickly went to wash up.
"Everyone, tidy up the place. If there are no customers afterward, you can take a short break. Once the afternoon gets busy, there won't be time to rest."
There will be fewer customers after lunch, and more customers during the period from before to after dinner.
Now that I've rested well, I can recharge and prepare for the afternoon's work.
So, after the pleasant surprise of lunch, the older women heard more happy news and were overjoyed.
He had more energy to work, and a smile on his face; he seemed very happy.
Song Lili told Zhang Shengtian to take the child and rest for a while. She would watch the shop so that even if someone came, there would be someone to greet them.
However, before taking a break, Song Lili gave the employee uniforms she had bought to several of the older women. She had bought the large size, so everyone should be able to wear them.
"This is the employee uniform. You will wear this to work from now on. You can't wear your own clothes anymore, it doesn't look neat."
"However, I'm making this clear: you can't take this dress home. You can only wear it in the store. If I find out, well... you'll have to pay a fine."
"Does this cost money?" As expected, the employees were still concerned about the money.
"These are employee uniforms. They're free as long as you're still working here. But if you take them home, then you'll have to pay," Song Lili said, slightly jokingly.
There's no need to be serious at this time.
"Don't worry, we definitely won't take it back."
"Yes, yes, don't worry."
After spending the morning together, the older women also felt that Song Lili was an easy person to get along with, and they were no longer so unfamiliar with her.
"Okay, since you put it that way, I'll take it to heart. Try to rest and change into them. It'll look neater, won't it?" The shop will also look more presentable and upscale.
