Qin Man agreed to the aunt's request to come to work. The aunt was very excited and looked at each other with her husband.
"Then you go back first. I've found a job now. You can just make something to eat for lunch!"
The aunt took out a handful of crumpled money from her pocket, only a few dollars in total, and she only gave one dollar to the uncle.
"As for the job, you can take your time to look for it. Don't be in a hurry!"
The uncle took the money, nodded, and prepared to leave with his limping leg.
Seeing this, Qin Man asked another question:
"Uncle, are you looking for a job too?"
She saw that he had a limp and thought it would be difficult for him to find a job!
"Well, it's a long story. My husband broke his leg when he was working on a construction site two years ago. He and I don't have any children. We have already spent all our savings on his leg treatment. While I am still strong, I want to find a job and save some money before returning to the village to retire!
Madam boss, if you have any odd jobs to recommend, washing dishes, wiping tables, cleaning, he can do them all, and it’s okay if you pay him less!”
The aunt looked at her husband, who was walking with a limp, and tears couldn't stop flowing.
Qin Man suddenly had an idea in her mind, and she said to her aunt:
"Auntie, go call uncle back. You two will work together in the kitchen from now on. As long as you can ensure that the meals are served on time and the kitchen is clean, that's all!"
When the aunt heard this, she looked at Qin Man in disbelief, only to see that Qin Man smiled sincerely!
"Go quickly, wait until the servants are far away!"
The aunt finally reacted and hurriedly chased after them. After a while, the couple appeared in the store again.
Qin Man asked them to put on aprons and began to show them the work to be done in the kitchen.
"Anyway, come to work on time at nine o'clock every morning. At half past nine, the suppliers from the market will deliver vegetables. You will be responsible for preparing the big bones and making the soup base. Then we will add the other ingredients together.
We have self-service here. After customers have chosen their dishes, they will be placed on a tray. To prevent confusion, each person's dish is cooked using a separate colander. These clips, with different colors, represent different types of noodles, so they must be distinguished!"
Qin Man patiently explained to them how to cook, which dishes should be cooked longer and which dishes should be cooked less. If a customer asked for medium or mild spiciness, a wooden sign with words on it would be placed on the tray to make it easier to distinguish!
"In the first few days, I will help you in the kitchen when I am busy. After you get the hang of it, I will go out to help. It should be okay to give you a few days to get used to it, right?"
"It's no problem, boss lady. We are all used to this job and will get the hang of it soon!"
The auntie promised sincerely, and the uncle nodded foolishly.
"Okay, your monthly salary will be 50 yuan from now on. We don't provide food and accommodation here. The break time is from 2:30 to 4:00 in the afternoon. You can bring your own food and heat it up in the store, or you can go out to eat. You can rest two days a month, but not on holidays. Is there any problem?"
Qin Man discussed the salary and leave arrangements with them in advance.
"No problem, we don't need to rest. The boss lady is so kind and willing to give us a meal. We are already very grateful!"
Providing help and a way out to others when they are in the most difficult time is the easiest way to win their hearts. In view of this, the couple will do their best to help Qin Man with her work in the future!
Jiang Cong arrived at the store at 11:30. He discussed with Teacher Nie that his classes in the next few days would be placed in the first two periods. He explained the situation, and Teacher Nie was able to understand.
That being said, once the store has recruited enough staff, classes will resume according to the normal schedule.
Customers have started to arrive at this moment. Today there are many more salarymen, all of whom come from nearby office buildings, industrial parks, and shopping malls.
From Monday to Friday, college students have a cafeteria on campus, and meals are affordable and cheap. Generally, only college students from well-off families choose to eat out.
However, today's customer flow is no less than yesterday's, and the turnover is even higher than yesterday.
Qin Man was in the kitchen, helping the aunt and her husband with cooking and also teaching them on the spot. At the beginning, there were so many people around that it was a bit chaotic, but luckily Qin Man was there with them.
Before long, they were able to work in perfect harmony, with one cooking and the other packing and adding seasonings, and then delivering the food to the serving port, all without any rush.
The couple cooperate well with each other and do their work with ease.
Jiang Cong was outside, responsible for collecting money with Dazhuang's mother, and then collecting the plates and tables, and he was also busy.
At around one o'clock, a wave of customers came, about ten or twenty people entered the store at once. After some of them left, the restaurant was full again in an instant.
Judging from the work clothes they are wearing, they must be workers in a factory.
