As I handed over the orange peel in my hand, I heard my third brother muttering, "If I had known I was going home today, I would have skipped breakfast. Ugh~"
I took a few steps back silently, thinking in my mind if there was any way to stop vomiting.
I silently searched my mind and found that I had never thought of this. Because I don’t get seasick, I don’t have any knowledge in this area.
Forget it, Third Brother is tall and strong, he’s just seasick, he should be fine...right!
"Ugh, ugh~"
Chen Li walked over to pat the third brother's back. Seeing how miserable he looked, a trace of wood-type ability quietly flowed out from his palm to see if it could help the third brother.
Shen Yuanzhou didn't know what was going on, but he felt his chest suddenly become smoother and his stomach stopped churning.
"Ah, alive!"
Seeing that the third brother felt better, Chen Li patted his back a few more times, then withdrew her hand and poured him a glass of warm water.
"Drink, it will be here soon."
"Thank you, little sister."
After drinking a glass of warm water, he fell to the ground again and said, "Little sister, let's make a deal."
"Well, go ahead."
"How about this? Third Brother won't come next time. How about we take a carriage instead?"
Chen Li raised the corners of her mouth slightly, admitting that she had intentionally been a little gloating.
"Okay, let's talk about it next time. Maybe next time Dad will come with me!"
"That's true."
The ship soon docked at the pier in Qingxi County. After getting off the ship, we rented a horse carriage directly back to Daohua Village.
"Mom and Dad, we're back~"
As soon as he stepped through the gate, Shen Yuanzhou shouted at the top of his voice. Shen Changshan and Lin Cuicui, who were in the yard, thought something had happened and ran out in a hurry.
"Ali, Third Brother, why are you back today? Did something happen?"
Shen Yuanzhou's seasickness had improved a lot, and he was now in good spirits. "It's okay. I sent Lao Si and Xu You to the academy this morning. They were bored there, so we came back."
The couple looked at their little daughter and were relieved when they saw her nod.
Shen Yuanzhou curled his lips. Is he so unreliable?
As soon as Chen Li came back, she got busy and ran back and forth to her home in the county town all day long. She had already bought the two-story courtyard behind the shop.
Just to buy this yard, I ran to the county town for several days and finally bought it with great difficulty.
Now the shop and the yard behind are connected, and there are more than a dozen bread ovens built in the yard, waiting to be used.
The house at the back was used as a dormitory for the people working in the shop so that they wouldn't have to run back and forth.
After returning from Suzhou, except for Shen Jingyuan, everyone in the family followed Shen Li to work, and they ran for several days before they set up the store.
Shen Changshan looked at the flowers and plants displayed in the shop and sighed, "Ali, these flowers and plants are so beautiful, they must be expensive."
"Dad, I planted these myself. Haven't you seen them in my yard?"
"Well, Ali is really amazing."
It's irrelevant. Never mind.
"Ali, have you chosen an auspicious day?"
"Well, we've chosen it. We'll have a three-day trial run on the ninth day of the lunar month, and then officially open on the twelfth."
"tomorrow?"
"Um."
Then Chen Li directed the servants and maids in the shop to put the last things in place, and the shop was now in good shape.
"Ali, we'll open tomorrow, so can we put a piece of paper on the door today and write some activities on it?"
"Well, let's follow the plan I discussed with you before."
"OK."
All eighteen people were brought here, and the kitchen in the back was handed over to Madam Jiang and Li Niang. Four more people were assigned to them, and the others were all in the front to entertain the guests.
The staff in the store were handed over to Bai Yao and the housekeeper Yang Gui who was bought earlier.
Even two dairy cows were delivered and are now placed in the second yard at the back. After being fed by Chen Li for a period of time, the milk production of these two cows has obviously increased a lot, and the milk has also become much mellower, making the milk tea made from them even more delicious.
Chen Li took Bai Yao and Yang Gui to tour the three floors and adjusted some minor details. Only after everything was done did she gather everyone together.
"We'll be closed for half a day and open for a trial run tomorrow. I hope everyone will remember what you're going to do..."
"Okay, now that I've finished talking about that, let's talk about your salary. Our waiters' monthly salary is one tael of silver, and we get three days off every month."
"The store manager's salary is five taels of silver a month, and the steward's salary is three taels of silver a month. They can also take three days off every month."
As soon as Chen Li finished speaking, the faces of the people standing in front of her became excited at a speed visible to the naked eye, but no one spoke.
"This is just the beginning. If our store does well, your monthly salary will increase. As long as you work hard, you will be rewarded."
"Yes, miss."
"From now on, call me the boss in the store."
"Yes, Boss."
Soon, Madam Jiang came over with a plate of cakes. "Boss, these are freshly made. Please try them."
"Everyone try it. No one knows what the food you sell in your store tastes like."
"yes."
When Chen Li asked them to make it just now, she deliberately made a little more so that the people in the store could eat more.
What is on the plate now is egg cake. The egg cake is soft and has a sweet taste. It is not greasy to eat and is perfect to go with milk tea.
It would be nice to have fruit tea, but I haven’t found any lemon yet, so it’s all in vain.
No, in the summer, who doesn’t want to drink a cup of ice-cold lemon tea?
Lemons generally grow in provinces south of the Yangtze River. Logically, they can be found here. I'd like to have someone keep an eye out for them someday, or wait until next spring and go for a walk in the nearby mountains to see if they can be found.
“This is delicious!”
“And the smell of eggs!”
"Yeah, but it smells delicious. I never thought we could have such delicious pastries!"
They all knew that the things sold in this store were not cheap. A pot of milk tea cost one or two taels of silver, and a plate of egg cakes, with about 6 pieces, cost 500 wen.
There are other more expensive pastries, which are more exquisite in appearance and taste better.
The menu in the restaurant is carved on a wooden board. Because it is urgent, we have to pay extra. Now there is one on each table and in each private room.
There are also some exquisite pastries in the store, which have been painted into paintings and hung in the store. The painters have superb painting skills and the pastries are exquisitely presented, which is very tempting.
"Okay, everyone, go back and rest. I've ordered a few banquets, which will be sent to the back later. Let's have dinner together tonight. We'll be busy starting tomorrow."
"good."
After all, they were still young, and when they heard the host ordered delicious food, the group immediately became excited.
“The boss is so nice!”
