Qin Man just realized at this moment that there seemed to be not enough bowls, as there were a lot of bowls piled up in the kitchen, so she said hello to Jiang Cong and said she was going to wash the dishes.

But Jiang Cong couldn't bear to let her do such a thing, so he quickly stopped her.

"You go and greet the guests, I'll wash the dishes!"

Jiang Cong patted her hands and went to the kitchen. Among the guests, there was a woman who walked to the front desk with a smile on her face.

"Is this the store owned by Mr. Jiang Cong's family? My child is in his class and won first place in the math competition last year, all thanks to his careful guidance. My child came back and told me that Mr. Jiang's wife opened a malatang store here, just two blocks away from my factory. I immediately brought my assembly line staff to show my support!"

Qin Man heard this and thought, so she came here specially to show her support, and she is the mother of Jiang Cong's student, so why should she give her some benefits or something?

"Thank you all for coming. Since you are the mother of Jiang Cong's students, how about I give you a 30% discount today? Everyone can eat as much as you want!"

Anyway, you're just giving them a face. It's only right that you give them a discount when they bring you business. But the discount is only for today, and there won't be any discount in the future.

Tomorrow is the last day of the discount, Qin Man thought, after that, she will get some free porridge or juice or something.

"You are the boss lady, right? I've heard from my children that Mr. Jiang's wife is a very beautiful lady. I see her today and she is indeed extraordinary!"

This older sister is also a very talkative person. She is chubby and quite cute when she smiles.

"Thank you for the award, I don't deserve it!" Qin Man was embarrassed by the compliments.

Jiang Cong brought out a pile of washed bowls and gave them to the remaining guests who had no bowls to choose from.

The older sister recognized him immediately:

"Teacher Jiang, you are here? Aren't you having class today?"

"Xuanxuan's mother? Why are you here?" Jiang Cong was also surprised to see her. He had met with her parents before, and Xuanxuan's grades were among the best, so he was deeply impressed.

"Didn't I hear from Xuanxuan that your store is opening, so I specially asked my colleagues to come and support you?"

"Thank you so much, please take a seat. There are bowls here, choose whatever you want to eat!"

The dishes for lunch had almost been picked, and Qin Man even made some emergency replenishment.

Her beef balls are selling very well. After two days of opening, most of the nine pounds of beef balls have been sold out. The pork balls are also selling well, and she can restock them tomorrow.

After a thorough cleanup by these twenty or so people, there was little left in the glass cabinet.

When they came to settle the bill, Qin Man gave them a 30% discount with the approval of Xuanxuan's mother.

"Everyone is welcome to come often in the future!"

"Boss lady, the food tastes good. I will come here often in the future!"

The taste of the Malatang received unanimous praise from everyone. All the food in the bowl was swept away. What's more, some people even didn't leave any soup.

After half past one, the number of customers gradually decreased, so Qin Man started to replenish the stock with Jiang Cong. The two discussed that they should also hire a dishwasher.

After hearing this, Aunt Liao from the kitchen volunteered to do the dishwashing for her and her husband.

"Boss lady, don't bother hiring someone to do the work. Just let my husband and I do the laundry. Just give us a few extra bucks!"

"But you have to cook in the kitchen and wash the dishes at the same time, can you win?"

Qin Man was afraid that the workload assigned to them would be too heavy and they would not be able to handle it as they were too old.

"It's okay. We are all used to doing rough work in the countryside. This is no problem for us. When there are fewer customers, we can just take some time to wash the dishes. You have to pay more for hiring a dishwasher. Can't you make more money?"

Aunt Liao's husband also took the initiative to speak up. He was very grateful to Qin Man for not minding his lameness and being willing to keep him here to work with his wife. He was also willing to do more to help the boss lady within his ability.

Qin Man and Jiang Cong looked at each other. Jiang Cong thought it was okay, so Qin Man asked them:

"So how much do you think is a suitable salary increase for you?"

"Give us whatever you want! We are here to express our gratitude to you for taking us in. After all, at our age and with his weak legs, you are the only one willing to pay us a high salary. How can we ask you to pay us more?"

Anyway, Aunt Liao felt embarrassed. Other places only paid them about 30 yuan, and the workload was much heavier than here. Here they could take a break in the afternoon and slow down. It was only busy at mealtime, but it was still very relaxing at other times.

"Then I'll give you each a $10 raise! What do you think?"

"It's too much! Five dollars is enough. Ten dollars is too much!" Aunt Liao quickly refused.

"Not much. Nowadays, hiring an employee costs around 40 yuan. You saved me 21 months!"
