Chapter 111 Plan
Xu Qingmeng obviously saw through the two people's thoughts and said it directly. He Shi couldn't learn it. Xinting had to follow her to the dim sum shop for a while, so she couldn't take care of the restaurant. That's why she wanted to find someone to teach her.
"It's just like teaching others. You and Aunt Li have been together for such a long time, we all know each other's character. We are relieved to leave it to you two. I just don't know if Aunt Li has any thoughts in her mind. Why did we give the filling of the buns to Sister-in-law Tang, but not..."
Aunt Li quickly said, "How could that be? Xiao Tang's skills are good, so she must have been taught by him. I just followed behind to help out, and you can even give me a monthly salary. I'm very grateful."
"Yes, we are not that kind of people, Mengniang, Yunyi, don't worry." Mrs. Tang said.
Aunt Li asked again: "What should we do this afternoon?"
"We plan to postpone the set lunch for the time being. There are only three of you, so you may not be able to handle it. The morning and afternoon are enough to keep you busy." Xu Qingmeng said.
He heard this and said, "What? If we don't open it, won't we lose a lot of income? There are quite a lot of people at noon."
"Mom, I'm pregnant now, and I'm sure I'll get heavier in the future. Xinting also needs to go to the dim sum shop, so she can't always go to the restaurant. It's definitely not realistic for Xinting to run back and forth for a long time. Sister Tang and Aunt Li need to learn how to make buns and soup, which will also take time."
"That's true, okay."
He was helpless too. It was her fault. She couldn't learn even after following the steps. There was nothing she could do.
Xu Qingmeng didn't care much about the filling of a bun or the method of making steamed dumplings. If she wanted, she could take out xiaolongbao, soup dumplings, etc. and come up with more ideas.
This is why she dared to preach. After all, in her opinion, such a recipe is really not rare. Modern breakfasts are varied and numerous.
Of course, she will definitely be criticized if she deserves it. After all, she is not a philanthropist.
Afterwards, she told Sister Tang and Aunt Li the requirements, the same as for making pastries, if you learn this, you must work in the restaurant for a few years, if you can't learn it, then turn around and leave.
They both patted their chests and assured, "That can't be possible. I've been doing this for half my life, and no one else can be as good as you."
"That's right, we're both willing to do this for the rest of our lives."
Xu Qingmeng just smiled and didn't say much about it.
She also talked to them about signing the contract. Since both of them were illiterate, Gu Yunyi gave them the written contract and asked them to go back and show it to their family members, or have someone they trusted take a look at it.
They also didn't think that the Gu family would cheat them. After all, neither of their families was wealthy, and there was nothing worth the Gu family cheating about.
But since Xu Qingmeng and Gu Yunyi both said so, they took the contract.
Early the next morning, the two of them put their fingerprints on the contract at the same time. Xu Qingmeng didn't expect it to be so fast and was a little surprised.
Mrs. Tang smiled and said, "No one in your Aunt Li's family and I can read, so we took it to Mr. Chen San to read it to us. He read it to us and said there was nothing wrong with it. He also said that you and Yun Yi are both honest people and that what you wrote is very fair. He told us to put our fingerprints on it without any worries."
Now that things have come to this, it would seem pretentious to say anything else. Xu Qingmeng nodded and led the two of them into the kitchen.
Xu Qingmeng taught Mrs. Tang how to prepare the fillings, while Xinting took Aunt Li to make steamed buns, as well as soy milk, tofu pudding and other soups.
Mrs. Tang didn't get the hang of it very quickly, and there was still some gap between her and Xinting, but she studied very seriously, putting all her concentration into it, and her progress was pretty good.
Aunt Li’s recipe is not difficult, only the steamed buns and dumplings require some difficulty, and the soups are not difficult either.
After the fillings were mixed, Xu Qingmeng taught Mrs. Tang two methods of making the buns. After all, you can't become a fat man in one bite, so take it slow.
Aunt Li needs more practice in making steamed buns, she is still slower than Aunt Tang.
The restaurant was almost ready, and the rest was left to Mrs. He, Mrs. Tang and Aunt Li. Xu Qingmeng and Xinting went to Jinxiuxuan to open the door in the morning glow.
Jinxiuxuan has become famous in just a few days, but some people complain about the high prices of its cakes and drinks. However, some people praise the food. But no matter which one it is, the name Jinxiuxuan has entered everyone's ears.
The dim sum gift boxes from Jinxiuxuan are well-known in the wealthy circle, with many wealthy ladies and young ladies coming to make reservations every day.
Suxiang Pavilion was only popular for a few days. After Jinxiuxuan opened, the two stores facing each other naturally formed a sharp contrast.
There was a constant stream of customers all day long. Now that the weather was getting hotter, the snacks and drinks were selling especially well. The two girls could only rest during meal times.
The snacks were often sold out and needed to be restocked. Of course, as for the birthday cake, Xu Qingmeng taught Xinting to make several types of similar small cakes, which instantly captured the hearts of children and little girls.
Anyone who comes in and whose family is wealthy will not hesitate to take one back.
On the other hand, it’s not that Suxiang Pavilion has no business. After all, the prices are cheap. Some people come from poorer families but want to carry something prestigious so that they can pretend to be wealthy when they go to the countryside or to their friends and relatives, so they will buy some.
Seeing that the daily snacks were piling up but couldn't be sold out, the shopkeeper's face became darker and darker, but he couldn't do anything about it, so he had to get angry at the waiter and the person who made the snacks in the kitchen.
On the one hand, he scolded the waiter for being lazy, and on the other hand, he cursed the dim sum chef, calling him a waste and saying the food he made was so awful.
The waiter didn't dare to refute, so he had to clean the store again and again. He couldn't help complaining in his heart. There were only two customers a day. Did he want to be idle? He couldn't be lazy. It wasn't his fault that there was no one.
The dim sum chef in the kitchen, however, did not tolerate him. His business was not as good as that of the other side, so he put up with it for the first two days. But the result was that the shopkeeper became even more aggressive and his scolding became more and more unpleasant.
The master was irritated, untied his apron and threw it over there: "If you are so good, do it yourself, I won't serve you anymore."
This chef is not a master chef at all. He is just a street vendor who makes snacks with average skills. If it weren't for this man, he would have paid such a high price and said that as long as he does what he knows, he doesn't need to worry about anything else.
Can he come? He doesn't want to be mad at him.
Although the income on the street is not as much as here, it is still not bad in a year. If it weren't for the money, who would come here? How can it be as comfortable as being your own boss when working for others?
