262. Opening a good business

Lin Qingping's efficiency is still great. In less than two days, he got her twenty second-hand sewing machines and helped her find someone to transport them to the factory.

Then, Lin Qingxi "spends" two new sewing machines to put them in the clothing store, and "buys" some cloths in the store, including cotton cloth, silk and other fabrics.

After Xie Yan and Xie Xu inquired, Lin Qingxi’s hot pot restaurant was about to open. After a short training from her and Uncle Li, Zhou Mingmin’s cooking skills have greatly improved.

That’s right, after Lin Qingxi’s repeated persuasion and the help of Zhou’s father and mother, Zhou Mingmin finally agreed to go to a hot pot restaurant to work, taking 20% ​​of the shares of the hot pot restaurant plus monthly salary.

It’s not that Lin Qingxi could not give more shares, but that Zhou Mingmin was unwilling to take shares and only received salary, but Lin Qingxi did not agree and finally gave 20% of the shares.

The opening date of the hot pot restaurant is set on the sixth day of the first lunar month, which is the New Year's Eve. The waiters have also been found. From the homes of people with good reputations nearby, I found ten men and ten women, a total of twenty waiters, including four waiters on the third and second floors, and there are twelve people left. Two of them are left in the kitchen to wash dishes, and the remaining ten are in the hall.

Then, Lin Qingxi also found two extra lesbians who had studied, took the front desk to check in, and found two elder sisters and a chef who had transferred to Zhou Mingmin to help him in the kitchen.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Lin Qingxi and Zhou Mingmin went to the hot pot restaurant early in the morning. When she went there, the staff in the store had arrived long ago, and the two hurriedly went to greet everyone to work.

Zhou Mingmin took people to the kitchen. Everyone was doing their own work. Those who should wipe the table and those who should wash vegetables were washed. Lin Qingxi checked the entire store and confirmed that there was no problem, so she went to the lobby on the first floor.

In the hall, the foreman led other waiters to place the tables, chairs and benches, and then placed the cleaned dishes and chopsticks on the dining table. Each table and chair has four pairs of bowls and chopsticks, and then it will be added if it is not enough.

"Sister Li, ask two people to place the soda drinks behind the cash register, and the wine should be placed well," Lin Qingxi walked over and saw that the shelf behind the cash register at the door was bare. She immediately asked the foreman to arrange the wine on the ground as the soda drinks, otherwise the person who came to eat would not order these.

"Okay," Sister Li, the foreman, responded. She lives near the Zhou family. Her family is in average conditions and was originally taking care of the elderly and children at home. The reason why she came to work in the hot pot restaurant was because the children at home were studying, which was expensive.

Not long after, everyone else in the family came over. Lin Qingxi asked Zhou Ming to set off firecrackers at the door and announced the official opening. Then she asked the four elders to take Dabao and five of them to the private room upstairs. More people came to eat later and could not take care of them, making Dabao and five of them unsafe.

Zhou Dajiang and the others knew this, so they naturally agreed. The four of them brought the five Dabaos and the private room upstairs, and asked Xiang Yijing and Xie Lu to take ten bottles of soda drinks and the others stayed to help.

"Dad, mom, you go upstairs too! Xiaoxu and the other three are here. Brother Mingbai and I are busy here," Lin Qingxi said in a low voice as she looked at Zhou's father and mother Zhou.

"Okay, if you can't get busy, call us," Zhou's mother nodded. She knew that she was standing here like this, and it would be better to go to work to take the children, so she turned around and pulled Zhou's father upstairs.

"Bang bang bang!"

The sound of firecrackers attracted the attention of the nearby crowd. When everyone saw the plaque of the store, they walked towards the hot pot restaurant curiously. After knowing what kind of store it was, some people came in and sat down, and some turned around and left.

"Hello, comrade, this is our menu. What do you want to eat?" Sister Li saw a customer sitting down when she came in, and plucked up the courage to take the menu and paper and go up.

"Come a soup pot, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, you can serve the dishes here quickly? How long will it take to wait for you to eat?" The customer looked at the menu and couldn't help swallowing, and quickly ordered a few dishes they liked to eat.

"The meat you ordered in ten minutes can be served. If you order, I will go to the kitchen to place an order. Please wait," said Sister Li, and took the menu she wrote to the kitchen, and went to the front desk to register. Then she made a pot of green tea, and took the order to go to the table that was just ordering.

Sister Li put the tea and cup on the table, then pressed the order under the bowl and stood not far away in front of her, in case that customers had demanded and could not find the waiter.

Sister Li's actions gave other waiters courage, but in fact, it was difficult to start. After someone was in a normal school, the others seemed to have learned their skills and took the initiative to attract customers and serve them.

For a time, the business of the hot pot restaurant was very good. Although it was not time for lunch, it was already past eleven o'clock. Some people who didn't want to come in smelled the scent of hot pot and swelled in unconsciously.

Seeing that everyone was serving the guests easily, there were no trouble or difficult customers, Lin Qingxi felt a lot of nervousness. In order to open the hot pot restaurant today, she took a lot of vegetables from the space in advance and put them in the clothing store. She also told Sister Li that if there were not enough vegetables in the kitchen, she would just go to the clothing store to pick up the goods.

Lin Qingxi took the risk of doing so even if she couldn't find a hot pot restaurant for a while. After she found a special professional manager to manage the hot pot restaurant, she would hire a few more buyers to go to nearby villages to buy vegetables, which would save her a lot of worries.

More and more people came in to eat hot pot. Lin Qingxi was worried that there were not enough dishes in the kitchen, so she went to check it out and there were still many, but she thought that the dishes in the clothing store were not washed, and if she couldn't wait enough, it would definitely be too late.

Lin Qingxi turned around and saw Zhou Mingbai walking towards her. She immediately had an idea. When Zhou Mingbai walked to her, she whispered: "There are not many dishes in the kitchen. Let's go to the clothing store to bring the dishes!"

"Okay, go and open the door for me, I'll get it," Zhou Mingbai agreed without thinking. His wife could go with her, but she couldn't do anything. With him, how could she let her wife do hard work?

Lin Qingxi nodded, said to Sister Li, asked her to stare at her, and then pulled Zhou Mingbai to the clothing store on the street behind.

When she got there, Lin Qingxi took out the key to open the door. When Zhou Mingbai carried the vegetables and came out, she locked the door. She was responsible for opening and locking the door throughout the process. She didn't let her do other things, and Zhou Mingbai couldn't bear to let her do it.
