Chapter 68 Zhou Caiju joins the noodle stall
Two days later
Zhou Caiju came to their noodle stall with a bitter face.
"Sister-in-law...I'm unemployed..."
Liang Xiulan and Liu Guizhi were both stunned.
Liu Guizhi quickly pulled her to sit down: "What's going on? How did you become unemployed?"
Zhou Caiju lowered her head, looking pitiful.
"The factory's disciplinary department said I rented my dorm to a stranger, which violated factory rules, so they fired me!"
Liu Guizhi and Liang Xiulan looked at each other and realized that they were implicated by them.
But Liang Xiulan doesn't think so.
She remembered that only the two women wearing red armbands were punished that day, and her second aunt was not mentioned at all.
Why was he fired?
Besides, if she was fired for renting the house to them, then what would the matter with the factory giving them a bigger house?
Liang Xiulan had a polite smile on her face, but she was worried.
After finishing a bowl of shell noodles, I turned around and saw Zhou Caiju's smiling face.
"Really, sister-in-law, thank you so much. When can I start work?"
"Now! Today is your day's wages!"
What? What kind of work and what kind of salary?
Liang Xiulan looked at Liu Guizhi in surprise.
Liu Guizhi explained to her calmly.
"Your second aunt lost her job because of us, we can't just sit there and watch.
I promised your second aunt that I would let her help out at our noodle stall, and she would be paid 1.5 yuan a day!"
"Lanlan, do you think it's okay?"
If you ask her after she has agreed, what can she say?
Liang Xiulan frowned and nodded reluctantly: "Oh..."
She couldn't say anything other than "Oh".
At this time Liang Xiujuan also came over.
"But I also want a salary. I can't work for nothing!"
Liu Guizhi immediately rejected her: "Go away and don't join in the fun. You just collect money and don't do any work."
Hearing this, Liang Xiujuan was also unhappy.
"What? Just collecting money? I did more than just collect money, I also wiped the table and washed the dishes."
"I also helped to close the stall and set it up in the afternoon. I was exhausted."
Liang Xiulan felt that since she had given her second aunt a salary, there was no reason not to give it to her younger sister.
No matter how far away, Xiujuan is still close.
So she spoke up for Liang Xiujuan: "Mom, I think Juanjuan is right. Although she is young, she has done a lot and should be paid."
"I'll buy a piggy bank and put all my earnings in it. When I save enough, I can buy myself clothes and shoes. You don't have to worry about me. How nice."
Liu Guizhi twisted her lip and looked at Liang Xiujuan and then at Liang Xiulan.
"Are you serious?"
Liang Xiulan nodded seriously: "Yes!"
Liu Guizhi thought about it and finally agreed: "Then you can pay one dollar a day!"
Liang Xiujuan was unhappy at the time: "Why? Why can Second Aunt get 1.5 yuan a day, but I can only get 1 yuan a day? Am I still your biological daughter?"
Liu Guizhi explained: "This has nothing to do with whether you are close to your daughter or not. The main thing is that you are young and you spend money recklessly!"
"I promise not to waste it."
"Since you don't spend it recklessly, keep it with me. When you grow up and get married, I'll use it as a dowry."
What a big pie! Liang Xiulan rolled her eyes when she heard it.
She, who had eaten her children's New Year's money every year in her previous life, said the same thing.
[I'll save it for you, so you can use it when you grow up and get married!]
I ended up buying myself new clothes the next day. How shameful...
Liang Xiujuan seemed to realize that this was a virtual pie in the sky, and she shook her head and refused to agree no matter what.
"My money, I want it myself!"
Liu Guizhi couldn't persuade her and had to agree, but still insisted on giving only one dollar.
"You have to promise me that you won't spend money recklessly. From now on, you have to buy everything from food and drink to clothes and shoes yourself. Do you understand?"
"I heard you, I heard you. I promise not to waste it!"
"Okay, from today on, Caiju will get one dollar and fifty cents a day, and Xiujuan will get one dollar a day!"
Why does a small noodle stall need so many people?
Liang Xiulan was wondering whether she should separate the French fries and noodle stalls.
But if they are separate, how can you eat noodles with fries?
Forget it, let’s just take it one step at a time.
Zhou Caiju officially joined the noodle stall. She was very diligent and worked efficiently, which made Liang Xiulan's work a lot easier.
Someone can also help Liu Guizhi roll the noodles, which makes the food served faster, and she enjoys her job very much.
As soon as the noodles were served, the customer said something she didn't understand.
"Become a member."
"Chong? Member?"
When the customer saw that she took a long time to react, he knew that she was a newcomer and probably didn't know that there were members at this stall, so he directly called Liang Xiujuan over.
"That little girl, come here!"
He waved to Liang Xiujuan, and Liang Xiujuan jumped over.
"Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
The man directly gave her five yuan and said, "Get a membership."
"Okay, please wait a moment!"
Liang Xiujuan took the money, quickly took out the registration book and handed it to the customer.
"Please write your name and the date of processing here."
The customer picked up the pen in the notebook, wrote his name and date in the pre-drawn box, and handed it to Liang Xiujuan.
Zhou Caiju looked at all this, feeling a little confused.
"What are you doing?"
She chased Liang Xiujuan and asked.
Liang Xiujuan put the lollipop in her mouth, took a sip, and took it out again, explaining, "To become a member, you just put the money here, and whenever you come to eat French fries, the money will be directly deducted."
Zhou Caiju was very surprised after hearing this: "Put the money here?"
It was obvious that Liang Xiujuan's explanation was not adequate. Seeing that she was still confused, Liang Xiulan patiently and carefully explained the membership rights and membership management system to her.
After hearing this, Zhou Caiju suddenly realized what was going on, and then she began to praise Liang Xiulan again.
It's just that she is really smart and shrewd in business.
She didn't expect that money could be made this way.
After a while, someone else came to order chili sauce.
She was stunned again: "We sell noodles here, not seasonings..."
Customer: "Are you new here? I won't tell you. Just ask Xiulan to come over. She knows what I want."
This is an old customer.
Zhou Caiju quickly walked over and called Liang Xiulan to take over the work in her hands.
"There's a customer who wants chili sauce. Go quickly."
"Oh, cook the shell noodles for another minute."
After saying that, he wiped his hands and went to find the customer who ordered chili sauce.
Zhou Caiju was busy with her work while listening attentively.
"I want three bowls of chili sauce, extra spicy. I'll mix it with something else when I get home. I also want three bowls of Sichuan peppercorn sauce and two pots of persimmon vinegar."
Liang Xiulan took out a notebook and wrote down what the customer needed, then took the ten yuan from the other party.
The man turned and left.
Are you here to eat noodles or buy chili sauce?
Just got ten dollars so easily?
How does she have so many ways to make money? I need to learn.
Zhou Caiju was so engrossed in her thoughts that she completely forgot about the shell noodles in the pot.
By the time Liang Xiulan came over, the shell noodles were already cooked.
"Second Aunt, what are you thinking? The shell noodles have been cooked into porridge!"
Zhou Caiju finally reacted and quickly took out the colander.
Liang Xiulan took a look and shook her head: "This is inedible. Make another bowl."
After making sure the pot was clean, he served another bowl to the customer.
After waiting for two bowls of noodles, the customer started to urge for more.
"Why are you so slow? Hurry up, I'm waiting to go to work."
Liang Xiulan quickly said to comfort him: "Right away, right away!"
I served him a bowl of shell noodles and half a portion of French fries.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting. These fries are for you. Please enjoy them."
This service attitude instantly calmed the anxious customer down.
"It's no big deal. I know your business is doing well, so just get busy."
Zhou Caiju felt distressed when she saw the French fries being served to the customers for free.
"He just waited a little longer. Why did you give him fries? They could be sold for money."
Liang Xiulan poured soup over the overcooked shell noodles and handed them to Zhou Caiju.
"We want to give customers a good shopping experience so they will come back often. Sweet potatoes are not worth much, so we just give them as a gift."
"It's time for lunch. This bowl is overcooked. Second Aunt, please eat first."
Zhou Caiju had been busy all afternoon and was really hungry. She took the shell noodles without hesitation and started eating at an empty table.
