In order to prevent Nanny Zhang and Uncle Li from running back and forth, Xia Tian cleaned up two side rooms and let them stay there directly.
It would only take a few days anyway, so Nanny Zhang and Uncle Li naturally agreed.
After everything was arranged, she took Uncle He to Yupinxuan to find Manager Bai.
"Manager Bai, thank you very much for this matter." Xia Tian thanked him sincerely.
Although Shopkeeper Bai was from Shen Nian's side and could be considered one of her own, he agreed to it without hesitation when Yupinxuan was so busy, which was considered a great help to her.
"You're welcome, Madam. It's my honor to serve you." Shopkeeper Bai responded politely.
After everyone was arranged, Xia Tian took Ningxiang with him to buy things.
There are not enough people, so I have to do it myself.
Cuiyun and Cuiling stayed in the second courtyard to help Aunt Zhang and learn a little at the same time. Maybe they wouldn't need to ask Aunt Zhang for help when arranging people in the future.
Fortunately, shopping has always been a woman’s favorite thing, and the few of them shopped for more than an hour before returning.
When they arrived at the yard, all the things they bought were delivered. Ningxiang asked someone to put the things away first.
After three days, everyone had learned most of the rules. After being taught by Nanny Zhang and Uncle Li, they felt like their whole spirit was different.
Xia Tian thanked Nanny Zhang and Uncle Li, bought a lot of things, put them in the carriage, and asked Mu Feng to take the people back.
Only then did she reallocate the tasks.
Uncle Chen is still the housekeeper, and Aunt Huang is in charge of the inner courtyard.
Yun'an and Yunquan will work as security guards first, and will be assigned there after the restaurant opens.
These two people are the ones who know some martial arts, so if there are any troublemakers at the restaurant in the future, they can stop them.
The name was chosen by Uncle Li, and all male names start with the character "Yun".
But it's still early, so Xia Tian asked these two to help teach other boys who are willing to learn some kung fu. When the time comes, she will talk to Chen Nian and see if she can find someone to teach them kung fu.
Yun'an and Yunquan happily agreed.
She finally realized that in this society, it would be safer to go out in the future if she knew some kung fu to protect herself.
It was impossible for her to ask Mu Feng to drive the carriage and run errands for her every time she went out in the future.
It is necessary to cultivate some of our own people.
Thinking of this, he gave Uncle Chen more money and asked him to buy two carriages when he had time so that he could go out to buy things.
Xia Tian only made some rough arrangements, and the specific matters were left to Uncle Chen and Aunt Huang to arrange.
But she had another important thing to do today, which was to see how good these ten girls were at cooking.
So at noon, everyone was asked to cook a specialty dish of their own, and she and Ningxiang tasted it.
After tasting, only three out of ten people’s food tasted good, the others were just average.
Come to think of it, these girls basically come from poor families, and their families can't even get enough food to eat. Even if they have cooked at home, they just cook porridge, pickles and so on. Basically, they don't need to use their cooking skills, as long as the food is cooked.
Xia Tian first asked Cui Ling to write down the names of the three people who did relatively well, and then he came up with a recipe and asked Cui Ling for guidance, and everyone tried it again.
This time it was much better. The taste of the food made by five people met her requirements, so she asked Cui Ling to lead them first.
Cuiling is the best cook in her yard. The most important thing is that Cuiling likes to study food, has a talent for cooking, and learns quickly.
Xia Tian brought her over, planning to let Cui Ling learn any new dishes she wanted to develop first, and then come over to teach them.
Of course, she didn't train these girls just to be cooks. It would be enough to have a few with good cooking skills. She thought that after they learned how to cook, when the restaurant opened, she could make food that the female customers would like.
Others should learn the etiquette rules first, so that it will be easier to entertain female guests when they come to the restaurant.
But what surprised her was that the girl named Xiao You was really talented in making dim sum and she basically mastered it immediately.
This will allow her to learn more about the cooking methods of Cantonese dim sum, and once she has learned, she can teach others like Cuiling did.
Xia Tian discussed with Cuiyun and Cuiling and decided to let them stay here first, so that Cuiling could watch them practice their cooking skills.
On the other hand, Cuiyun was asked to consolidate the etiquette and rules of dealing with people. She had already trained the two of them in Jinglan Garden, so there was no problem in teaching them now.
In the afternoon, she took Mu Feng and Ning Xiang to the restaurant again. All the materials had been brought in, and Master Liu and his apprentices had already started decorating.
Xia Tian didn't stay long and went straight back to the Marquis' Mansion.
She also needs to write a set of regulations, and after Uncle He has learned from them for a few days, she will ask him to prepare to recruit people according to them.
The people she trained can only provide assistance to the restaurant. If she really wants to keep the restaurant going, she still needs to recruit chefs and waiters.
By the time she had finished all of this, it was almost the end of April.
I have almost learned everything from Uncle He, so I went to Yupinxuan to pick him up in the summer.
"Manager Bai, what do you think? Do you think Uncle He is capable of being the manager?" Seeing that Uncle He went out first, Xia Tian asked Manager Bai for his opinion.
"Old He used to be a shopkeeper. He was very good at dealing with people and allocating personnel. I think there is no problem for him to be a shopkeeper." Shopkeeper Bai recounted Uncle He's performance in his place during this period in detail without hiding anything.
"That's good. Thank you, Manager Bai." Xia Tian asked Mu Feng to give the wine and red envelope she had prepared to Manager Bai. After thanking him solemnly, she left with Uncle He.
He gave the restaurant management regulations he had written to Uncle He and asked him to recruit people according to the requirements first.
Uncle He was so shocked when he took the restaurant management method given to him by Xia Tian that he was speechless for a long time. He didn't expect that his wife was so capable. This management method wrote down all the possibilities. He believed that as long as they followed it, they would be able to manage the restaurant properly.
The restaurant has not been renovated yet, so Uncle He will be asked to recruit chefs in the summer. The chefs need to be carefully inspected and trained after being hired to learn how to cook Cantonese cuisine. After all, there seems to be no Cantonese restaurant here yet.
Originally, she wanted to train one herself, but then she thought that it takes years of practice to become a good chef, so she decided to hire someone directly. With a chef's foundation, it would be faster for him to learn new cuisines.
As for whether the chefs she recruited would find other jobs after learning the technique, that didn't matter. She had the entire Chinese cuisine in her mind and was not afraid at all.
That's it for now, she handed it over to Uncle He and stopped taking care of it.
When people are recruited, she will teach them how to cook.
Including preparing gifts for the Queen Mother, she had been busy non-stop for almost a month. Just as she was about to take a few days off, on April 28th, she received an invitation from Princess Ruihua to attend a poetry gathering at her villa outside the city.
