Looking at the group of slightly nervous men, Su Muyao calmly said, "Being a barbecue chef will be very hard work in the future."
So I have two options for you. One is to receive 35 taels of silver per month.
The second option is to work like other employees, receiving 16 taels of silver per month, plus 0.2% of the barbecue restaurant's net profit.
In other words, if my shop earns one or two taels of silver today, those of you who choose the second option will receive two more copper coins.
After hearing this, the men thought about it and ultimately decided to accept 35 taels of silver per month.
They didn't understand how much the shop could actually earn, and they couldn't calculate it.
For these men, 35 taels of silver was an astronomical sum.
No matter how hard or tiring it was, they could keep going. 35 taels of silver!
Looking around the entire capital, even the shopkeepers couldn't get their hands on this silver.
"Princess, you can do whatever you want. The main problem is that I'm a roughneck and don't know any of the intricacies involved."
"I can't do math at all, so just give me a fixed salary. But don't worry, my job is always top-notch."
Su Muyao understood what the man was saying; it seemed he preferred 35 taels of silver.
These are the kinds of people who have no idea how much net profit their shop needs to make in a day.
Sometimes these things are right in front of them, but they miss them. They're just ordinary farmers; honest people like them, how would they know anything about these things? ╯▂╰
Su Muyao nodded and looked at the others; everyone they said was the same as what the man had said.
"Alright, since you've chosen 35 taels of silver, then the monthly allowance will be 35 taels."
Furthermore, those who perform well will receive monthly allowances of groceries and other necessities.
These people all nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
They knew all about the things sold at the little princess's general store; they were all expensive items.
They've only ever seen it once in their lives, let alone eaten it.
I caught a glimpse of it when I went with the little princess to get something.
Immediately afterwards, Su Muyao began to fiddle with the notebooks in her hands.
I wrote down their names one by one.
"By the way, we will select one of you to be in charge in the future, but it will be based on a number of considerations."
For example, the ability to solve problems, and the techniques for grilling skewers—in short, all aspects.
You guys go over and practice some more later, since we're opening for business tomorrow.
Go back and rest early after dark, and come back tomorrow morning to do the preparations.
By the way, it's best to keep this month's silver a secret, since you all came from the same store.
Your salaries are so high, it's natural that some people will have some complaints.
Although your job is indeed a technical one for now, since everyone is starting from scratch, it's inevitable that you'll attract criticism.
"Once they truly understand how hard you work making barbecue, they won't think the pay is too high. Okay, you can all go now."
Upon hearing what the little princess said, the men quickly agreed and then went downstairs.
After they went downstairs, the people who had come with them from the previous shop asked, "Little princess, did you go to discuss wages? How much are you getting paid?"
"Yes, yes, tell me quickly, how much will you be given? It's not like it's gone up to 20 taels, is it?"
The man who said this was the one who was eliminated by Su Muyao.
You can't say this person is bad, he's just not suited to be a barbecue chef.
The others looked at the group of men, who then shook their heads.
One of the older men, named Da Niu, said, "What are you all thinking? Even if it goes up, it will only go up little by little."
Besides, they didn't say exactly how many little princesses there would be, but they certainly wouldn't treat us unfairly.
The little princess knows perfectly well how much work we do and how hard it is for us.
What's the use of thinking so much? Just focus on doing your job well.
Hurry up and get to your posts, and take a good look at how to do things, so you won't be too busy when business is booming. ^o^
The men who had been gathered together immediately dispersed upon hearing his words.
Indeed, just as they said.
I've never seen such a high price in other shops before.
At that time, the little princess went to several old shops and said that she would select 2 to 3 people from each shop.
They said that anyone willing to go should go to the new store.
Others felt that the new store's salary was uncertain, and they were also unfamiliar with the area.
I've finally gotten to know everything here, and the work is going very smoothly, so naturally I don't want to go to the new store.
Su Muyao wouldn't force anyone to do something against their will, and in the end, seeing that no one was thinking about where to do it, or rather, what to do.
In addition, the princess was indeed very good to them, and the wages she paid were the highest in the entire capital.
So we came here, and after arriving, we listened to what the little princess wanted.
They then discovered that it was much higher than where they originally were.
Not to mention the extra wages, they have to work hard to get all the benefits.
We can't let the little princess's shop be a mess on its first day of opening.
Su Muyao, standing at the top of the stairs on the second floor, watched the chattering crowd and felt quite gratified.
All the people I hire are people whose character I know well; there are basically none of them with bad backgrounds.
Even if some people have a few tricks up their sleeves, that's normal.
These days, most people are lucky to have enough to eat, especially those from remote areas.
All they wanted was to earn some money to improve their families' lives, right?
Since I'm so rich, I'll definitely treat them well as long as they work hard.
At this moment, Grandma Su walked in from outside.
When the long-time employees saw that it was actually the old lady, they all hurriedly came over to pay their respects.
Grandma Su looked at these people who were about the same age as her son, and she was very satisfied with the smiles on their faces.
My granddaughter is really capable; she not only made our family rich, but she also helped the whole country get rich.
Su Muyao just happened to see her grandmother arrive, and she quickly skipped down the stairs.
"Grandma, what brings you here?"
Grandma Su smiled and said, "I came to see how our little princess is doing."
Do you need this old lady to help you? Haha.
Su Muyao gave her grandmother a reproachful look.
"Pah, pah, pah, what are you saying? My grandma is the youngest grandma ever."
How did she become an old woman?
Your granddaughter is so capable, of course she's taken excellent care of things. Come on, let's go upstairs and sit down.
They helped Grandma Su walk up to the second floor.
