Chapter 292 I Can't Stand It
"Okay, let me ask about this." Meng agreed.
While the couple was talking, Zhuang Qingsui had already come out after trying on clothes.
The moon-white blouse, bean green pleated skirt and cinnamon-pink belt embroidered with orchids set off Zhuang Qingsui's cute and fair face. The ribbons on the two buns on her head made her look even more lively.
"It looks good." Mrs. Meng couldn't help but nodded and held the delicate and beautiful Zhuang Qingsui in her arms. "It looks better and better the more I look at it."
Meng gave birth to two children, both sons, and no daughter.
Although having a son now makes me feel more confident and my future offspring all depend on him, it is still a great pity that I don't have a soft and lovely little one by my side.
Mrs. Meng likes the capable and courageous Zhuang Qingning, and also likes the lively and lovely Zhuang Qingsui. She really can't get enough of them.
Zhuang Qingsui blushed at the praise and only thanked Meng and Zhuang Yutian.
At noon, several people had a meal together at Zhuang Yutian's house. In the afternoon, they hired a car to go back.
After seeing off the sisters Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui, Zhuang Yutian and the Meng couple were preparing for the sale of this batch of herbs. Zhuang Wencheng found some time to tell them about his ideas and plans.
At first, Zhuang Yutian was worried that Zhuang Wencheng would be devastated by the misunderstanding and expulsion from the pharmacy, and would never recover from the blow. But now that he saw that Zhuang Wencheng had his own ideas, he immediately felt relieved and helped him plan the future. ——The Songhua egg business is booming.
Another store that is also doing booming business is Ruyi Pavilion.
With Zhang Yongchang as the chef, the ingredients from Zhuang's Tofu Shop, Zhuang Qingning's previous methods of attracting customers, and the new dishes developed by Zhang Yongchang in recent days, Ruyi Pavilion has been bustling with people recently, and is even more prosperous than Fushun Building before.
He never expected that the Ruyi Pavilion he ran would see this day.
Chai Zhengzhen looked at his own shop and felt very pleased. He was so happy as he greeted people at the door of Ruyi Pavilion.
"The business of Ruyi Pavilion is really good."
Ma Tong, who was cleaning the door, looked at the people coming and going in Ruyi Pavilion and couldn't help but praise it. He couldn't help but glance at Ruyi Pavilion with envious eyes, and he was making some plans in his mind.
Ever since Qi Changfu and his apprentice swindled a lot of money and ran away with the money, Fu Shun Lou has been harassed by debt collectors every day and no customers come here anymore. The business of Fu Shun Lou is so quiet that it can be described as deserted.
However, because they could not find Qi Changfu and Tong Fei, the two culprits, the debt collectors refused to give up. In addition to Gong Qingsheng, the matter even reached the county government.
In the end, Ding Gaochang ruled that Feng Yongkang should first compensate those people with 80% of the silver, and the remaining amount would be paid after Qi Changfu and his apprentice were found. If they were not found, he would wait a year to pay.
Although it is only 80%, it can also be said that the entire Fushun Building has been almost emptied. Without savings, life must be lived, so naturally they have to regroup and continue to make money.
Feng Yongkang wanted to find a chef quickly so that Fu Shun Lou could be revived and reopened as soon as possible.
But after searching everywhere, Feng Yongkang found that he looked down upon the ordinary chefs in the town, and the chefs in the county town were unwilling to come to this remote town. Moreover, the incident of Fu Shun Lou had been reported to the county government, and many people had heard about it. They knew that it would be difficult to run a restaurant like this in the future, and they were afraid that they could not pay the wages, so they were unwilling to come.
As a result, Feng Yongkang never found a suitable chef, and Fu Shun Lou has been closed until now.
Due to the bad business, Fu Shun Lou was out of money and could not pay the employees on time. The company said it would delay the payment for another half a month.
But even if they don't get paid, they can't just sit there and do nothing. Even if Fushun Building is not open for business, there is still room for cleaning, especially the entrance, which needs to be cleaned thoroughly without a speck of dust.
In Feng Yongkang's words, this storefront is still necessary. The God of Wealth does not enter a dirty and messy house, so it is better not to delay business because of this.
It would be fine if they just did the work without being paid, but ever since the incident at Fushunlou, Feng Yongkang's mood had become increasingly worse, and he often made trouble for them, scolding them at every turn. In just a few short days, he had already scolded away two of the waiters, and now the only ones who could really do the work were him and another waiter.
Seeing that Ruyi Pavilion was doing a booming business, Ma Tong was considering whether to quit his job and ask Ruyi Pavilion if they needed any employees.
After all, he had respected Chef Zhang before, so if he really wanted a waiter, he would not give up him.
As Ma Tong was thinking, he felt a chill nearby. He glanced and saw Feng Yongkang with a sullen face standing beside him. He was so frightened that he almost dropped the broom in his hand to the ground.
"The... the shopkeeper."
Ma Tong lowered his head and did not dare to look at Feng Yongkang.
"If you think Ruyi Pavilion is doing well and want to take advantage of you, just go!" Feng Yongkang spat, "It's just a low-class restaurant that has been picking up other people's unwanted things all day long. Now that it's lucky enough to be doing well, its eyelids are flying up to the sky!"
"He can only be proud for a few days, but he will regret it in the future! It's just a second-rate restaurant. When Fushun Restaurant gets back on its feet, you will find that there is no place for you in this town!"
"Look, what are you looking at? Why don't you get back to work?"
Feng Yongkang glared at Ma Tong and said, "You are such a lazy guy. You eat a lot every day and you are so slow at work. I really don't know what we feed you for!"
"It's better to raise a dog than you guys!"
Feng Yongkang was cursing loudly, while Ma Tong frowned as he listened.
"Boss." Ma Tong raised his head, took off his apron, and stuffed it into Feng Yongkang's hands along with the broom in his hand.
Feng Yongkang was stunned at first, then he shouted angrily, "What are you doing? Are you rebelling against the heaven?"
"I dare not do anything against the will of heaven. I come out to work just to earn money to make a living. I do the work if I can, and I don't do it if I can't. I am your hired worker. I work for money, but you can't trample on my face."
Ma Tong straightened his back and said, "I can't stand this, so I won't do this job anymore."
After saying that, Ma Tong turned around and walked towards the backyard, ready to pack his things.
He was the one who usually chased people away, and this was the first time he encountered a waiter who walked away with an angry face.
Feng Yongkang was embarrassed and felt that everyone on the street was looking at him, pointing and talking. He could even vaguely hear voices of laughter.
