When the milk tea shop was closed for the holidays a few years ago, the milk tea shop posted a notice.
Open as usual on the sixth day of the first lunar month.
By the time the three of them had prepared everything for the day, it was time for the milk tea shop to open.
At this time, there were not many shops open in the town. They took the Chinese New Year much more seriously than modern people, unlike modern people who have turned these festivals into shopping streets.
The New Year atmosphere here is very strong. If you meet people on the street on the sixth day of the first lunar month, they will stop to say happy new year. The milk tea shop opened on the sixth day of the first lunar month. Ask Ping and the others did not expect how much business there would be, and the food preparations were not very good.
a lot of.
When the doors first opened, almost no one came to the door.
Wenping made a cup of milk tea for each of the three of them and sat next door boredly waiting for customers to come.
At first, Li Xuemei said she didn't want anything. When the place was free for two days, she came to drink just to satisfy her greed. Now she is working here. If she drinks anymore, she will take advantage of her employer. She can't do that.
Later, I asked Ping that if there was no business, I would throw it away if I didn’t drink it. It would be such a pity then.
Li Xuemei no longer refused, she held the cup and drank heavily. She really liked the taste of this milk tea. It had a silky texture and the astringent taste of tea. When combined together, it was really wonderful.
experience.
After drinking a cup of milk tea, the whole person feels a lot warmer.
The three of them chatted for a while, and it was almost time for lunch.
"If there are no customers in another two-quarters of an hour, we will close the door at noon and cook. We will come back and open the door in the afternoon after dinner." Wen Ping stretched her head and went out to take a look. There were very few people on the street.
Qiu An naturally had no objection. Anyway, the girl said that when we opened the shop on the sixth day of the first lunar month, we didn't plan to do much business. It was just because the shop had just opened and the business was slowly growing.
"Ask Sister Ping, Sister Qiu'an, how about I go and help you cook now, and then I'll come and look after the shop while you are eating. Let's not close the door at noon."
Li Xuemei felt that it was not good to close the door for more than an hour at a time. What if a guest came in the meantime?
Qiu An and Wen Ping both looked at her and said, "You girl, now I finally understand why my girl has fallen in love with you. Work hard and she will definitely give you the job of a store manager when you can be independent in the future."
."
Song Chen would chat with them when she had nothing to do. Occasionally she would talk about her future development plans, especially the future of this milk tea shop. She had already fully planned it. This shop in Chongyun Town was just to test the waters. In the future,
There will be them all over the Great Rong Kingdom.
The main business of the two of them is not to guard the milk tea shop. They are the girl's right-hand assistants. They will go wherever the girl needs them. Now they just hope that there will be more people like Li Xuemei.
Such a person can make the girl feel at ease.
Li Xuemei felt confident after hearing their encouragement, but she didn't know what the store manager meant.
"Sisters, what does store manager mean? I've never heard of it."
Qiu An smiled softly and said, "This store manager is a position created by my girl. Take our milk tea store as an example. There must be a person in charge in this store. She is responsible for arranging the store.
It’s other people’s work, supervision, and that’s the store manager.”
Li Xuemei was stunned, "Isn't this the shopkeeper's?"
Qiu An nodded, "Yes, you can think so, but we girls say it's better to be called store manager, because basically what we need in our store are young women."
Originally, Song Chen thought that men could do it, but according to the nature of this society, if a man is hired in a store, all other employees must also be men, otherwise the reputation of other female employees in the store will be ruined.
affected.
This is a form of discrimination and injustice towards women.
So Song Chen decided to only recruit young women as staff in all her milk tea shops, which can be regarded as her contribution to improving the status of women.
Li Xuemei came here mainly for the salary. After a few days of contact with Song Chen, she found that Song Chen was really a completely different person from the one she knew before.
This difference about her attracted her very much, and she had no intention of leaving after she came, unless Song Chen didn't want her to do it.
But she never thought that she might one day become the shopkeeper.
"Thank you two sisters for your advice. I'll help you cook right now." After hearing this, Li Xuemei smiled and went to the kitchen.
Wenping and Qiu'an are still waiting for business, and are even discussing when to close this afternoon.
Before they go out, the girls have already analyzed several situations they will encounter with them, so now they don't feel any disparity in their hearts.
But neither of them expected that in the next hour, they would be so busy that they almost couldn't straighten their waists.
When lunch was approaching, the business of the milk tea shop suddenly became booming.
Although you still don’t see a few people in front of the milk tea shop, every person who comes brings a big order. These people are maids from various wealthy families in the town. They ran over first to say and put down some deposits.
, and then agreed on a time to come and pick it up, and they would bring people over at that time.
Although there are not many wealthy families in Chongyun Town, there are also quite a few wealthy families. Even those who spend time in the province will not spend so much money during the Chinese New Year.
Especially those who have young ladies at home, or those who drank delicious milk tea before the Chinese New Year, it has already been several days in a blink of an eye.
"You two girls, make sure you don't make a mistake. We want sixteen cups at home. I'm going to buy some things first, and I'll bring someone over to pick them up later."
"Okay, sir, walk slowly, we will help you make it on time."
After a while, another order came, and Wenping, who was halfway through, had to stop what she was doing and run over to take the order.
After three orders, Wenping and Qiu'an finally ran out of ideas.
"Xuemei, come here quickly to share the pressure. There are so many big orders coming in at once, and the two of us are going to collapse."
The two of them each made another cup and placed it on the table next door, shouting loudly to the people in the kitchen.l
Li Xuemei heard the two people's voices and ran out of the kitchen. She was frightened when she saw so many empty cups prepared on the workbench.
"Sisters, what's going on? Are you going to do all this?"
Li Xuemei's hands trembling as she pointed at the cups.
Wen Ping waved to her, "Come here quickly to help. These will be done later. I think we don't need to have lunch according to the situation, so there is no need to cook for now."
Wen Ping pointed to the cups on the workbench again, "Qiu An will be responsible for making them later, and you will be responsible for filling them. I'm going to make some tea later, as I'm afraid it won't be enough later."
Li Xuemei nodded hurriedly, "I'll wash my hands first and then come back."
Outside, Qiu An was constantly mixing milk tea according to the requirements. Fortunately, these large orders all requested the same flavor. She could make several cups at a time, and then Li Xuemei filled them.
Almost a quarter of an hour later, the first person to place an order brought his family members over to pick up the milk tea.
Sixteen cups of milk tea, each person carried four cups on a tray and carefully walked to his or her house, four people in a row, the scene was very interesting.
The time between the second order and the first order of milk tea was less than one cup. When they arrived, Li Xuemei was filling cups. This order was a little less than the previous order, only ten cups.
Here, the takeaway is the most inconvenient and cannot be sealed.
After making six such large orders, all the things prepared in the morning have been used up. It will take some time for Wen Ping to make the tea, and after it is finished, it needs to be allowed to continue to blend.
Qiu An was exhausted, so she decisively closed the store door, put up a sign saying it would open again in the afternoon, and went to the back.
As soon as she arrived at the small kitchen at the back, Qiu An collapsed on the chair, "I'm so exhausted. I waited for most of the morning and there was no business. As a result, people were killed. You know, I was there the whole time."
I’ve never straightened up.”
"You two have a rest. I'll continue cooking what Xuemei prepared before. Take advantage of the meal time to have a good rest. I'll open the door again in the afternoon. I guess there will be another wave in the afternoon."
Most of these people are servants of various governments. They are buying milk tea at this time to drink it after lunch. It is also the time of the Chinese New Year. If there are guests at the dinner table at this time, they will definitely be able to look good.
Qiu An also agreed with what Wen Ping said, "I'll be paralyzed for a while. You go and cook quickly. I'm starving."
Wen Ping smiled, pinched her shoulder and went to cook. Although Li Xuemei was tired, she felt very happy.
Let’s look at Beiguan Village again.
The workers in the workshop also start working today.
Because it was related to making medicinal materials, Song Dashan and the others were very insistent on having an opening ceremony. Song Chen couldn't resist them, so he let them go. Anyway, having an opening ceremony would have no impact on her, so they could still ask for something.
Peace of mind.
The groundbreaking ceremony was also prepared by Lin Maofeng. It was considered a small sacrifice. All the pork head and meat were prepared. Song Chen even stepped forward and lit incense sticks.
Pray for the blessing of the Medicine God.
Song Chen didn't tell them that there was no such thing as a medicine god at all. She was her own medicine god.
First of all, she possesses medical skills that are absolutely superior to this world, and secondly, she also possesses a heaven-defying space artifact. The combination of the two makes her invincible.
There's nothing she can't do.
After the ground-breaking ceremony, it was time for Song Chen to distribute the money for the ground-breaking work.
Lishi is different from the dividends given before the Chinese New Year. Lishi is for good luck. The red envelopes given by Song Chen when he started work were not big, only one hundred cents per person.
And before distributing it, Song Chen also explained clearly the meaning of this profit, otherwise she was worried that when she distributed the money, everyone would compare it with the Chinese New Year, and they would think it was too little.
But she really overthought this point. Whether it was the New Year's bonus or the current start-up bonus, it was extra income for the workers.
It came for free, and they were happy no matter how much.
