Qiao Daguo: "It's just these few clothes. It's not like my brother can't afford you now."
Qiao Xiazhi: "You're wrong. I have a big family, young and old, and we need a lot of clothes in a year."
"Let's settle the accounts. Otherwise, I won't want the rent you give me in the future."
Qiao Daguo couldn't persuade Qiao Xiazhi: "Okay, okay, let's do the math."
Then Qiao Daguo made a random calculation and said, "Ten dollars."
Qiao Xiazhi: "Go away, let me do the calculation myself. I won't give you more, but I can't let my sister-in-law lose money either."
As he spoke, Qiao Xiazhi started to calculate by himself.
After finishing the calculation, she counted the money and handed it to Fang Mei.
Fang Mei looked at her two children and felt a little amused and helpless.
But she was also happy to see that her children had a good relationship.
Then he said, "In the future, when Xia Zhi and his friends come to the store to buy clothes and support her sister-in-law's business, we will collect the money."
"But, from now on, your sister-in-law will make it specially for you and give it to you without charging any money."
"Your skirt, Yun Chen's set, and the three sets of your in-laws' sets are not included in the money. You can take the money back."
Seeing that her mother had spoken out, Qiao Xiazhi had no choice but to take the money back.
"Okay, then let's do as mom says from now on. Buy if you want to buy, give if you want to give, this way it's a give-and-take relationship."
"Then I'll go to my second brother's place and ask him to prepare a table for us."
Having said that, Qiao Xiazhi went to Qiao Erguo's side.
It's almost time for dinner and there are quite a few guests in the restaurant.
As soon as Xu Li saw Qiao Xiazhi coming, she immediately said, "Xiazhi is here. Please wait a moment. It's a little busy right now. Your second brother and his wife are in the kitchen preparing food."
Qiao Xiazhi: "Okay, then I'll go to the kitchen to see my second brother and the others."
With that, Qiao Xiazhi went to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, they have already prepared and cut the dishes for lunch in advance, so when customers order, they just need to stir-fry them.
Qiao Erguo and Liu Yao are both in charge of cooking.
Qiao Erguo was worried that his wife would be tired, so he did not fall behind when Liu Yao was studying. Now both he and his wife can cook.
"Sister Xiazhi, you're here." Qiao Erguo said while cooking.
Qiao Xiazhi: "Well, I'm on vacation today and I'm at home with my kids. I came by to see how you guys are doing."
"How's it going? Business seems to be pretty good lately."
Qiao Erguo smiled and said, "It's OK. Now that our reputation has spread, more and more customers are coming to eat here."
Qiao Xiazhi: "That's good, it means your cooking skills are popular. But you have to be innovative and come up with new dishes from time to time to attract customers, so that you can maintain your business, okay?"
Qiao Erguo nodded: "Well, we must remember Sister Xia Zhi's suggestion."
Liu Yao brought out a dish and rang the bell, saying, "Stir-fried lettuce and bacon for table 12."
After that, he said to Qiao Xiazhi, "Sister Xiazhi, the kitchen is very fumy. Please go outside and wait for us for a while. We will let Erguo come out and talk to you later."
Qiao Xiazhi: "It's okay, just for a moment, I'm standing far away. It's rare for me to come here today, I said I want to support my second brother's business, arrange a table for me later, and our whole family will have dinner together."
Liu Yao: "Sister Xia Zhi, we are a family. You coming here is like going back to your parents' home. It's unreasonable for me to ask you to treat me to a meal. Erguo and I will arrange it later."
Qiao Xiazhi: "It's okay. There will be plenty of opportunities to arrange it for you in the future. The rules from now on are that I will treat and pay the bill, and then for Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and Chinese New Year, we will take turns coming."
"Whoever's turn it is, will pay. I just made an agreement with my eldest brother over there. I'll take care of it this time, and you'll take care of it next time during the Dragon Boat Festival, and you'll take care of it during the Mid-Autumn Festival. It will be my turn after the Chinese New Year, that's how it will be."
"Then we'll talk about it later when Dongzhi and Jasmine grow up."
Qiao Erguo: "Okay, okay, you're my sister, I'll listen to you. Then you can go out quickly, I'll make arrangements later, and I'll let Xiaohua come over to call you after that."
Qiao Xiazhi: "Now that business is getting better and more stable, we'll hire a few employees. My uncle and aunt are almost dizzy with work outside. Fortunately, Xiaohua can help out today, the weekend."
Speaking of Xiaohua, Xiaohua took the time to hand Qiao Xiazhi a bottle of soda, and then went back to work.
Liu Yao: "Business has suddenly picked up recently. Yesterday was not as busy as today. It may be because it is the weekend."
"I was thinking of taking time to write back and ask my cousins to come and help us."
After hearing this, Qiao Xiazhi thought for a moment and said, "Sister-in-law, it's right for you to help your cousins. And it's what you should do. After all, they treat you very well."
"We have all met your cousin, he is indeed a nice guy, and your cousin's wife and aunt are also OK."
"But my suggestion is that it is better to hire outsiders rather than relatives for your own business. Because if you hire relatives with high wages, you will lose money, and if the wages are low, they may feel uncomfortable."
"If you do well, they will want a raise. If you do not do well, you cannot say anything since we are relatives. If something unhappy happens, it will affect the harmony between the two families."
"In fact, the relationship between the two families is pretty good now, so it's best if there is no conflict of interest. When I suggested that you open a restaurant and my eldest brother and his family open a workshop, I didn't want the family to be involved in conflicts of interest."
"It's not so important for a couple. After all, the money earned or lost goes into their own pockets."
"My cousins at home are all good people. Once you have established yourself, if they want to do something, you can come up with an idea that suits them and let them start their own small business."
"Of course, this is just my personal suggestion. You two can discuss and decide on the details."
Because Qiao Xiazhi treated Liu Yao as a family member, he said these words directly to her. There was no need to say them behind her back in front of his second brother, as this would only make him look like a villain and ultimately affect the relationship between the couple.
But she said that since it had been said, it was up to them whether to listen or not.
Anyway, Qiao Xiazhi had seen many cases in the past where even the best-connected brothers, sisters, and family members would end up falling out because of interests.
Even family members become enemies.
Otherwise, if the restaurant business is so good, why doesn't she just let her eldest brother and second brother become partners?
With such a large family, there is no need to invite any outsiders.
Liu Yao took Qiao Xiazhi's words to heart.
When they had this idea a few days ago, they were also struggling with how much salary to pay their cousin.
If the price is too high, their business has just started. If the price is too low, he will be worried after all, he is his cousin.
Now that Sister Xia Zhi said this, she decided to listen to Sister Xia Zhi.
"Thank you, Sister Xia Zhi, for being willing to tell us all this. I think what you said makes sense. I'll ask my father-in-law to recruit a few people then."
"When our business is successful in the future, if my cousin wants to leave, we will find a way out for him."
Qiao Xiazhi nodded, "Anyway, you two can come here to discuss it, so you guys go ahead and get busy."
