Chapter 139 Trouble
On the second day, everyone learned from the previous day's experience and became more orderly. Although there were fewer people on the second day than on the first day, some people still came again in order to gain some small advantages.
Jiang Mi didn't go down this time. She was drinking tea on the third floor while looking down. People were coming and going, and it was quite lively. She was thinking about how to make the food in the restaurant even better. Since she was in this business, she had to come up with a strength. At least when people mentioned Jiang Family Restaurant, they would say that their food was delicious, their wine was good, or their waiters were attentive.
She observed for a while longer and noticed that although the waiter they had hired was very hardworking, he was not very attentive and his attitude towards the guests was also lacking.
This is not good. Sometimes, the mood is also important when dining out. If the host is nice, the guests will be happier and have a better impression of the restaurant.
"Brother, I think we could give the waiters a raise to make them more attentive and treat customers better. That way, people will be happier eating at our restaurant. What do you think?"
Jiang Yan thought for a moment, not quite understanding Jiang Mi's meaning: "Everyone comes to eat just to fill their stomachs, right? Who cares what mood they're in or what they're doing? Does that mean we won't eat if we're in a bad mood?"
Jiang Mi rolled her eyes, knowing that her older brother was a roughneck who didn't understand her at all. She had no choice but to patiently explain, "No, brother, think about it. If you go to a restaurant and the owner ignores you or treats you badly, would you still want to eat there?"
Jiang Yan thought for a moment and said, "It depends on whether their food is good or not, and whether it's a good deal or not. I don't care so much. I'm not some young master who needs you to serve me like this. You might as well charge me less money instead."
Well, she and her older brother simply didn't have anything in common, so she had no choice but to give up.
"That's just your perspective. Some people don't think that way. We should try our best to take care of our guests in every way, not just with delicious food and drinks, but also with better service."
Although Jiang Yan didn't quite understand, he agreed with everything Jiang Mi said.
"Okay, whatever you say, I'll listen to you."
Fortunately, although Jiang Yan didn't understand, he was obedient. Jiang Mi decided to start implementing her strategy that night, and they could try it for another day tomorrow.
Seeing that the restaurant was doing business normally, she decided to research peach blossom wine on her own. It wasn't particularly difficult, but it required time to mature. Once she made a successful one, she could ask her family to help make peach blossom wine. However, there were too many things to do at home right now, so she had to divide the work among herself.
Mr. and Mrs. Jiang had spent their lives farming, so they were better suited to staying in their hometown and watching the workers do their jobs. However, when they were free, they could stay at the restaurant, and the restaurant's affairs could be left to their older brother and sister-in-law.
As for Jiang Mi herself, there are still many things she hasn't figured out yet, such as the soap; she hasn't had time to ask the shop owner how well it's selling.
Just as she finished making the peach blossom wine, she heard a commotion downstairs. Not knowing what had happened, she hurriedly put down what she was doing, locked the door, and rushed downstairs.
Downstairs stood the Su family mother and son, who were throwing a tantrum in the lobby, and the people eating nearby were watching the spectacle.
Jiang Mi came downstairs and asked, "What's wrong? What are you doing?"
When Jiang's mother saw Jiang Mi arrive, she said angrily, "What else could it be? The Su family is all heartless. They know we own a restaurant, so they start causing trouble!"
Jiang Mi glanced around and saw that Su Yindi wasn't there. Jiang's mother understood her meaning and said, "We didn't tell Yindi that she's pregnant. It's better not to let her know these things, so as not to upset the baby. I understand now, the Su family doesn't want their daughter to have a good life!"
Jiang Mi didn't waste any time and immediately ordered the waiter to report to the authorities.
Su's mother, who had been squatting on the ground crying, immediately stood up upon hearing this: "Report to the authorities? Fine, we were just about to report to the authorities. Don't think you can scare us by saying you'll report to the authorities. It's clear that your family is withholding my son's wages. Besides, my daughter married you. Now that you're doing so well, shouldn't you compensate us with some betrothal gifts?"
Jiang Mi laughed and said, "How many years have you been married off to your daughter? What about the dowry? Did you give it to her? You have the nerve to say that! Aren't you happy that your daughter is doing well? What kind of mother are you in this world!"
People around were pointing and whispering at Su's mother, and she felt a little embarrassed. She said, "What's wrong with that? I gave birth to her and raised her, so she should be filial to me. Otherwise, what have I done to raise her all these years? I won't ask for much. Your restaurant is worth a lot of money, right? Give me 30% of what you earn each month. It's not much. After all, you Jiang family have three sons, and our brother Yin should also get a small share. I'll just take 30%."
Jiang's mother couldn't help but burst into a tirade: "You have no shame! How can you say such things? Tell me, why should you take 30%? Did you give us money to buy the restaurant, or did you provide some other kind of assistance? What's the difference between you and those beggars outside?"
Su Xing's face darkened: "What are you talking about? What do you mean by begging? You know I, Su Xing, have never taken charity from others in my life. This is what you owe me. Why didn't you pay me my wages? Besides, it's only right that my sister gives me money. And you won't let her. Everyone, come and judge for yourselves. Why can't my sister give me money to spend?"
"So you're giving me money to indulge in drinking, gambling, and whoring?" Jiang Mi said with disdain. "Everyone knows that you can help in an emergency but not in a life of poverty. You're perfectly capable, yet instead of earning money, you lock up your married daughters and ask them for money. How can you be so shameless? And you're a grown man, truly a case of the upper beam being crooked and the lower beam being crooked!"
Mother Su shouted, "What are you saying? My Xing'er is the treasure of our Su family. How can he do such rough work? I gave birth to these three daughters so that they could help their brothers in the future. Otherwise, I would have thrown them away long ago. Why would I spend so much money to raise them? Do you think I'm just bored?"
As soon as Su's mother said this, the people around her started pointing and whispering.
"I've never seen such a heartless mother before."
"That's right, their own son is spoiled rotten, who would want to marry their daughter to such a family?"
