Qin Zijin returned home under the moonlight.
It was already nine o'clock, and Tang Ruixuan and Tang Simeng had already gone to bed early.
The light was still on at the door. Qin Zijin looked at the light that was left for him and felt a little touched.
When she reached the door, she discovered that Tang Aiguo had not yet gone to bed. He was dozing off at the door, obviously waiting for her to come back.
"Dad, why didn't you go to bed?" Qin Zijin shouted in surprise.
Tang Aiguo finally woke up, his eyes still a little dazed. When he saw Qin Zijin clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief. "If I had known you would be back so late, I should have gone to pick you up. I don't know if the security in this city is good. What if there are bad guys?"
Qin Zijin felt warm in his heart when he heard this, but a smile was on his face. "Dad, the security here should be okay. Nothing will happen. Don't worry."
"That won't work. Asan also told me that he must ensure your safety. I'd better go with you to the store to help out tomorrow." Tang Aiguo shook his head in disagreement.
Qin Zijin thought about it and thought that it would be a good idea for Tang Aiguo to go over, as he could help collect the money and settle the accounts, so she didn't refuse and nodded in agreement.
After a simple wash, Qin Zijin returned to her room.
She was really not used to Tang Shen's absence.
There was one less person on the bed. I was obviously very tired after the day, but I felt like I couldn't sleep. A lot of things were on my mind, and I didn't know when I finally fell asleep in a daze.
The next day, I got up early, packed up, and went to the store.
Tang Aiguo wanted to follow, so Tang Ruixuan and Tang Simeng naturally had to be taken out together.
A family of four went to the store in a mighty procession.
It was already half past nine when we arrived at the store.
Qin Zijin opened the door and went to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients.
Tang Aiguo followed behind and watched, learning at the same time. He could also help Qin Zijin share some of the work so that she wouldn't be too tired.
The ingredients were all arranged by Qin Zijin. There were not many vegetables, and all the meats were fresh.
Because Zhu Nancheng had ordered the dishes, Qin Zijin needed to start preparing the ingredients in advance.
The abalone and sea cucumber in Buddha Jumps Over the Wall need to be soaked in advance. The process is very complicated. If any step is not done well or there is an error in the time, the taste will be bad.
Qin Zijin is a person who is very strict about food, so naturally he would not allow such a mistake to happen.
As soon as she arrived at the store, she went straight into the kitchen and started working.
Tang Aiguo couldn't help, so he went to clean.
Huang Cuiju and the others didn't come until ten o'clock.
Seeing an old man with two children in the store, Huang Cuiju couldn't help but frown and walked straight into the store.
The clothes Tang Aiguo was wearing looked ordinary, and he looked like an old man from the country, which made Huang Cuiju instinctively look down on him.
As for the two cute little buns beside her, she took a few more glances at them.
Then he spoke to Tang Aiguo in a cold and unpleasant tone, "Our store isn't open yet. Are you guys coming here to eat?"
Tang Aiguo was stunned, looked up at Huang Cuiju, and said nothing.
Huang Cuiju felt that this person probably didn't understand what she said, and he was indeed a country bumpkin.
She rolled her eyes and went into the kitchen.
Qin Zijin was processing ingredients in the kitchen.
Seeing Qin Zijin and thinking of what she reminded her yesterday, Huang Cuiju's expression changed, and she said respectfully, "Boss, we have guests here early this morning. Should we start receiving them now?"
Qin Zijin glanced at her, then looked down at the soaked sea cucumber without responding.
Huang Cuiju felt secretly resentful.
Liu Xiaoyu, who was standing nearby, also came in and greeted Qin Zijin with a smile, "Boss, those two kids outside are so pretty. I wonder whose kids they are, but they're growing up so fast, aren't they? They look like the little boys in the New Year pictures."
Liu Xiaoyu is younger, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, and is relatively lively. When she came in, she told Qin Zijin that she wanted to learn cooking from her, so Qin Zijin kept her in the kitchen to help.
Huang Cuiju disdained working in the kitchen, so she went to the front to greet the guests.
There was also an older woman who helped wash vegetables and dishes in the kitchen. Her name was Aunt Zhang. She was an honest person and didn't talk much, but she was quick and nimble and worked very efficiently.
"She does look good, but she doesn't look like the old man outside. I don't know if she is his biological child. I heard that there are quite a lot of human traffickers these days. Such a beautiful child..." Huang Cuiju subconsciously added.
Qin Zijin suddenly threw the things in his hand onto the table, turned around and looked at Huang Cuiju coldly.
Huang Cuiju didn't know what had happened. Her expression froze and she looked at Qin Zijin in confusion.
"The old man you mentioned outside is my father-in-law, and those two children are my children." Qin Zijin could tolerate Huang Cuiju's arrogance and contempt for the customers who came to the restaurant to eat, and she could give her a chance to change.
But she couldn't stand this woman cursing her child like that.
What human traffickers.
How could Qin Zijin not know how powerful human traffickers are these days? If she really encountered a human trafficker, she might never have the chance to see her two children again in her lifetime.
Huang Cuiju's face suddenly changed when she heard this. Thinking of her attitude towards the old man just now, her face suddenly became ugly.
"I don't think you are someone who is here to work seriously. Since you look down on my job here, I won't keep you. Pay yesterday's salary and find another job." Qin Zijin spoke directly and coldly and fired the man.
Huang Cuiju was so angry that her whole body was shaking. She looked at Qin Zijin coldly with resentment in her eyes, "Why did you fire me? I didn't do anything wrong. I don't know their relationship with you. I..."
"Because I'm the boss here." Qin Zijin gave a reason coldly.
Huang Cuiju was suddenly speechless and couldn't find any words to refute.
Qin Zijin is the boss. She can fire anyone she wants without any reasoning.
Huang Cuiju looked embarrassed.
However, Liu Xiaoyu and the others didn't help or speak, they just looked at her.
They didn't like Huang Cuiju either. Wasn't she just a local from Suicheng? She acted so high and mighty, looking down on everyone.
He looks down on others in his words, both openly and covertly.
If Liu Xiaoyu didn't want to get into trouble and just wanted to learn cooking well, she wouldn't want to bother with Huang Cuiju.
Now that I see she has been fired, I am naturally happy.
"You! I don't want your wages for that day!" Huang Cuiju snorted and turned away.
She had never been so embarrassed before.
Qin Zijin ignored it and continued to look at the sea cucumber he had soaked. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with it, he put it aside.
After Huang Cuiju left, she had to hire two more waiters to look after the front. If business got better, she would consider hiring a few more people.
