Chapter 209: Selection
Song Liyun opened the wooden box and took out all the remaining deeds.
She looked at the remaining people and said, "I still say what I said before. Everyone is out here for money. I also need help here. The wages will remain the same as before. We all know each other. If you are willing to stay, I welcome you."
This time someone responded, "We all work to make a living, and we work wherever we go. If the girl likes us, we are willing to stay."
These kitchen helpers don't have any special skills and just do odd jobs wherever they go.
The wages at Tianxianglou used to be high, and if the female manager could really deliver on her promise, they would be willing to stay.
Song Liyun raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Okay, you're welcome to stay. But there's one thing we need to make clear first. I won't recognize any disputes you had with your previous employer."
"Of course, of course!" Seeing the new shopkeeper being so easy to talk to, the others also joined in: "We worked here diligently and conscientiously in the past, and we are worthy of everyone."
"For those of us working outside, changing employers is common, so it's hard to tell where we are involved."
"Yes, yes, I came here from Jinxilou last year, and I haven't been working here for a few months!"
The atmosphere suddenly became lively. In order to ease the awkwardness, several guys began to talk about where they had worked before. Changing places was as easy as drinking water.
But there were still a few people in the crowd who remained silent. Song Liyun waited until everyone had finished speaking before she said slowly, "If anyone stays, they'll need to sign a new contract and leave their home address."
"What address?"
"Excuse me, young lady, why do you want to leave your home address?" someone asked boldly.
Song Liyun glanced at the crowd and saw one of them lowering his head and trying to hide behind someone else.
That was the guy who caused trouble for Min Gande last year because he kept talking about the old rules of Tianxianglou for a portion of grilled lamb chops. I didn’t expect that he would dare to show up again today.
But looking at his frightened look, I'm afraid he just remembered who he is now.
Are you afraid of that because you are worried that I will take revenge on him?
Song Liyun raised the corner of her mouth slightly. She didn't take this young man seriously at the moment, and asking him to leave his home address was also a test.
She smiled faintly and said, "Asking everyone to write down their home addresses is, of course, to help them calm down and work diligently. Whenever you encounter something, think more about your family's safety, and you'll naturally work more attentively."
"From now on, any gift boxes given out by the building during festivals can be sent directly to your home."
What gift box needs to be sent to the family? This is clearly using family members to threaten me, and someone's face immediately turned bad.
After hesitating for a moment, a few more people came over to collect their indentures and left, including the guy who had kept his head down.
As a result, there were only seven or eight people left in the store, and the originally crowded hall was suddenly mostly empty.
Standing on this messy ground, it looks very desolate.
Song Liyun took out the contract documents that had been arranged earlier, looked at the remaining seven or eight people, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since everyone is willing to stay, Tianxianglou will definitely not treat you unfairly in the future. Now please come over and sign your names and press your fingerprints."
She was very satisfied that she could pick out seven from more than ten people.
Captain Luo said it lightly, saying that he would build a restaurant for himself for fun.
Once the business opens, she has to support a large group of people and money will flow like water. She can't afford to play with that.
Anyway, I don’t plan to run Tianxianglou as before, so it’s just right to streamline the number of people.
Ever since she heard Lord Jiang ask her to take over Tianxiang Tower, Song Liyun has been thinking about hiring people.
Everyone in Qili County knows that Tianxiang Tower is Hong Jingtian’s property, and it has now been confiscated by the government.
Although the chefs and waiters of the restaurant had been investigated by the government, they were able to deny any connection with Hong Jingtian on the surface.
But no one can tell whether there are some people who are thinking that their old master will do something bad to them.
It would be efficient if I cleared out all the original staff, but I couldn't find anyone else to start quickly in such a hurry.
The people who come back in may not be clean, and they may not be allowed to enter those who have been checked by Lord Jiang.
After being kneaded and pinched by Song Liyun, those who had some thoughts in mind could no longer stay.
The rest of the people signed the contract again honestly and told their home addresses and family situations.
Song Liyun also had a copy of the personnel information of Tianxianglou given to her by Jiang Feng. After comparing it, she found that everything was true.
These seven people are basically from Qili County. They are well treated in Tianxianglou. They endure hardships and do odd jobs like serving tea and water.
It’s a pity that all the skilled chefs have left, and the only ones who can work in the kitchen are two kitchen helpers.
I usually do some cooking work like cutting vegetables, preparing ingredients, etc., and I have never actually cooked any food.
In addition, there were three waiters and two dishwashers.
Song Liyun felt that this was enough.
Among these people, the young kitchen helper named Ye Hua can read and seems smart, but he is inexperienced and a little timid.
Song Liyun asked him to take charge of all matters in the kitchen temporarily, and then ordered these people to start cleaning the restaurant.
He took Zhou Xiang and a few others to the grain and oil shop in the county town to purchase goods.
Tianxianglou used to have fixed suppliers for various supplies, and they would deliver the goods to the door.
However, now that Tianxiang Tower has changed hands, the previous agreement is naturally invalid.
Song Liyun did not get the ideal answer on this trip.
Several shops refused to cooperate with Song Liyun, and they all said the same thing, that food prices were rising now, old customers had already placed orders, and they would give Tianxianglou any surplus in the future.
After running around for two days without getting any orders, Song Liyun's face became worse day by day.
Zhou Xiang said, "Miss Song, why don't you ask the captain for help and transfer some grain from the garrison?"
Song Liyun shook her head: "These are all trivial matters, they can be bought with just a little more money."
She felt that as long as the problem could be solved with money, it was not a big deal, and there was no need to move the great god Loren.
As for the county government.
Jiang Feng had not been in Qili County for long, and his focus was still on investigating the Dilu bandits. He was not familiar with the rules of the various industries in the city.
You have to figure out the reasons behind this matter by yourself.
There was indeed chaos in Qing'an Prefecture, but no news of it had been passed on.
If these grain stores start to cause trouble, it can only be that Qili County is deliberately making things difficult for them.
Everyone wants to do business, but there is no reason to turn away money that is delivered to your door. Several shopkeepers looked embarrassed when they saw Song Liyun coming to their door.
However, through the implicit meaning of their tactful refusal, Song Liyun also figured out the real reason.
Ever since Hong Jingtian was captured, many people have been inquiring about Tianxiang Tower and wanting to buy it from the government.
Although the restaurant is unlucky now, it has a good location. As long as it is in our hands, it will become a treasure trove again in a while.
But now it has been handed over to an unknown woman by the government, and many people are dissatisfied!
