Chapter 111 Chapter 111 Drive Away
Jiang Xi also re-adjusted the work of the core employees of the store. Jiang Xi asked Wu Yaqin and Chen Xiu Lian to make the fermented brine together, and Chen Xiu Lian was also specifically responsible for the preparation of the spicy and sour dried radish.
As for the candidate to replace Chen Xiu Lian in purchasing vegetables, Jiang Xi also has an idea.
Jiang Xi specifically called Wu Yaoguo over and asked, "Uncle, what are your plans for the future?"
Wu Yaoguo scratched his head. "I don't have any big ambitions. I've finally come back, so I'll just help my family out and do what I can."
Jiang Xi asked: "Don't you want to find a job?"
Of course Wu Yaoguo thought about finding a job, but he did not have a high level of education and was haunted by his previous job search in Shanghai. Although he did not earn much money helping out at home, he was able to provide for himself, so Wu Yaoguo put the idea of finding a job on hold for the time being.
Jiang Xi said, "I have a job here. Would you like to help me?"
Wu Yaoguo was pleasantly surprised when he heard this: "Of course I am willing!" His elder brother Wu Youli has been transformed by Jiang Xi and is now very good at doing business. He is eloquent and can make a lot of money every day. Although Wu Yaoguo has temporarily put aside his ambitions, the gap between him and his elder brother is too big, and Wu Yaoguo can't save face.
Moreover, working for Jiang Xi is family, so Wu Yaoguo does not have to worry about being cheated. Moreover, after spending some time with Jiang Xi, Wu Yaoguo fully recognizes Jiang Xi's abilities. He feels that Jiang Xi is better than those small bosses he has met in Shanghai before.
"Of course I am willing. As long as you give me the opportunity, I will do my best!" Wu Yaoguo immediately patted his chest and promised.
Jiang Xin was able to make this suggestion because Wu Yaoguo's performance during this period caught her eye and passed the assessment: "I plan to ask you to help purchase vegetables in the future."
Currently, the ingredients used in Wu Ji Zao Lu include meat and vegetarian dishes. The meat dishes are purchased directly by Jiang Xi, mainly from Liu Daqiang, so it does not take too much time.
However, there are many kinds of vegetarian dishes, and they all need to be fresh. In the past, Chen Xiu Lian was asked to help buy these, but later the demand increased, and Chen Xiu Lian needed to help in the store. She also had to make the marinated vegetables with Wu Yaqin, so there was one less person in this part, and Wu Yaoguo took over.
Wu Yaoguo agreed without hesitation. Purchasing was a lucrative job in other stores. Wu Yaoguo knew that Jiang Xi entrusted this matter to him because he trusted him. Wu Yaoguo secretly vowed to do a good job.
But Wu Yaoguo changed his mind and became a little worried. He couldn't help but say, "I'm so unlucky. What if I ruin your store?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she was slapped in the face. Chen Xiulian said angrily: "Don't say such things, or I will beat you up again." Even Wu Yaqin, who usually has a good temper, looked disapproving.
Wu Yaoguo also knew that he had said the wrong thing and angered everyone. He lowered his head and dared not say a word, while Jiang Xi's cold words rang in his ears.
"I'm giving you this job, but it doesn't mean it's yours. Like everyone else, you have a probation period. If you don't perform well during this period, I can fire you at any time. So you don't have to worry at all, because I won't give you the chance to ruin the store."
Wu Yaoguo... Jiang Xi's cold words made Wu Yaoguo feel at ease. After all, Jiang Xi was in control. If he really got into bad luck, he could just leave on his own, and it would definitely not affect Wu Ji Zao Lu's business.
Wu Yaoguo immediately said: "Okay, I will definitely do my best. If I don't do well, I won't complain even if you fire me!"
Jiang Xi: "Well, don't worry, I will definitely hold myself to high standards. Come on, second uncle."
Wu Yaoguo...
After Wu Yaoguo was hired, there was still a vacancy in the store. The process of making pickled mustard and spicy and sour dried radish was not complicated, but the difficult part was the preliminary preparation work. The process of preparing ingredients was very tedious and tiring.
Especially now, Wu Ji Zao Lu not only has to supply goods to the store, but also has to deliver goods to Shiquan Pavilion, Zhou Jiangang, Qian Lili, and the steel plant’s staff quarters every day, so the demand is huge.
Especially the subsequent large orders from the steel plant, after Jiang Xi gave the braised pork gift boxes to Li Weijun, Li Weijun decided to purchase 10,000 braised pork gift boxes during the Qingming Festival. It was impossible to complete these 10,000 braised pork gift boxes with only a few people at present.
There are still not enough people now, so Jiang Xi decided to hire a few more people. However, even though he was anxious, Jiang Xi was also very cautious. Wu Ji Zao Lu had just opened, and although it was a thriving scene, recruitment could not be sloppy. At least the core members had to be thoroughly reviewed by Jiang Xi.
After finishing the business in the store, Jiang Xi was still thinking about another matter, which was the supply of raw materials. In addition to vegetarian dishes, there were also meat dishes, the most important of which was chicken.
Now Liu Daqiang's family's chicken production can barely meet Jiang Xi's needs, but it will definitely not be able to supply in the future.
Jiang Xi already has a solution, and the first task is to convince Liu Daqiang's family.
As soon as Jiang Xi walked near Liu Daqiang's house, he heard a noisy noise. A group of people gathered at the door of Liu Daqiang's house looking for trouble.
"You'd better move out immediately. There are so many chickens that stink and there are flies. People around here won't want to live here anymore!" Jiang Xi looked closely and found that the old lady who was leading the quarrel was the one who stopped her last time.
"That's right, our area reeks of chicken manure every day. You better leave now, or stop raising chickens. It's not even hot now and it stinks already. What will happen in the future? You'll turn a good place for people to live into a pig sty!"
"Hurry up and leave, and your wife is a jinx. We originally turned a blind eye to her out of pity, but look at what you've done to this place!"
Liu Daqiang stood at the door with an angry look on his face. Facing the shouting and cursing from all around, Liu Daqiang roared angrily, "Get out of here right now! What my family wants to do is none of your business! Get out of here right now!"
The old woman who had stopped Jiang Xi last time raised her eyebrows, not afraid of Liu Daqiang at all. She put her hands on her hips and cursed: "What does it have to do with us? Tell me what it has to do with all of us. You have so many chickens, and they crow loudly every day, and there are flies! They fly everywhere, so densely packed that it's impossible to live here."
The people with the old woman also curled their lips: "You are still so arrogant, are you relying on your height to bully others? We are speaking for everyone. If you can shut me up, you can also shut everyone up!"
The two old ladies cooperated very well. As soon as one of them finished saying that Liu Daqiang was bullying others, the other one covered her chest and said, "Oh, my chest hurts and I can't breathe. They did something bad and they are justified. They killed people!"
Everyone else was screaming and there was a commotion at the scene. Many people looked at Liu Daqiang with contempt. Although they didn't smell such a strong smell and there were no flies at home, what if the weather got hot and the flies ran into his house?
Liu Daqiang couldn't stand it any longer: "What on earth do you want to do? We raise chickens, how can we bother anyone? Besides, we clean every day, and it's not hot yet, so there are no flies at all. And the chickens we raise are all hens, how can they crow!"
Liu Daqiang tried to explain at the top of his lungs, but the troublemaker refused to give in. "I don't care. You've ruined the environment here. The smell of chicken manure is unbearable every day. We can't stand it. Either leave now or stop raising chickens. Otherwise, this thing will never end!"
After the old woman finished shouting, a middle-aged man spoke up. Although his tone was not as fierce as the old woman's, his words were full of sarcasm: "Daqiang, we have been neighbors for such a long time, and we all value harmony. But look at you, why do you insist on raising so many chickens at home? This has angered everyone. Let me be fair. If you encounter such a thing yourself, you would not be happy. Either move out, or stop raising chickens. Otherwise, I will not be able to speak for you."
This is not speaking for Liu Daqiang, this is typical bias. Liu Daqiang's face turned red and his neck was angry. These people have been causing trouble for a long time. They come to his house and make a fuss at any time. Sometimes they complain about the strong smell, sometimes they complain about the flies. They use all kinds of excuses, just because they don't want their family to raise chickens.
Liu Daqiang bit his cheeks tightly and glared at everyone. He was not good at speaking and was a straightforward person, so there was no need for him to beat around the bush. He could not win the argument with these neighbors who came prepared to cause trouble.
Jiang Xi saw the helpless Xiufen and the frightened Xiaodouzi through the crack in the door, but these people had no sympathy at all, as if they would not stop until they were driven away.
This is typical bullying, where someone's malicious intent is to enjoy watching others suffer.
Jiang Xi strode over and said, "What are you guys arguing about? I've already reported the case to the police station, and the police will be here soon!"
Liu Daqiang's eyes lit up when he saw Jiang Xi, as if he had seen his savior. The old woman in the lead, seeing that it was Jiang Xi, curled her lips and whispered to the people next to her, "This person is in cahoots with them, and she often buys chicken from Liu Daqiang's house."
"How come she is so rich? She buys chicken every day and gives so much money to Liu Daqiang's family."
"I heard she's in business. Last time I asked her to buy ours, she refused."
"Humph, what good things can Liu Daqiang's gang have? Maybe they are not interested in chicken, but other meats."
The two old women were discussing as if no one was around, and they looked at Jiang Xi with contempt. Anyway, Jiang Xi didn't know what was good, couldn't do business, and was giving money to the Liu family for nothing. So he was not the same kind of person as them, so all kinds of malicious speculations came.
Some of the others were curious, some were surprised, and some had inexplicable expressions as if they were looking forward to the show.
Jiang Xi had no intention of engaging in verbal battles with these troublemakers: "What are you doing here? Gathering together to cause trouble? I've called the police. They'll be here soon. We'll arrest anyone who's causing trouble!"
Jiang Xi's words were righteous and did not sound false. Some people who came to watch the fun but were timid dispersed in a swarm. They just wanted to watch the fun. Who wanted to be caught? The police had great deterrent power these days.
The crowd dispersed, leaving behind only the two old women who had been shouting and a few brave men. The leading old woman started cursing, "Who are you? Why are you meddling in other people's business?"
