The news that Beauty Hall was about to close for the Chinese New Year spread quickly among the aristocratic circles in Beijing.
The news spread throughout their circle, and others naturally knew about it.
Early the next morning, as soon as the Beauty Hall opened, many guests came in.
"Is the news that you are going to close down today true or false?"
Many people asked the staff as soon as they entered. The staff only got the news yesterday afternoon. They were stunned for a long time, but they calmed down after a night. Although they felt it was a pity that they could not earn more money for a few days.
, but after all, I am too tired during this period, so it would be better to rest two days in advance.
"It's true madam, our boss girl just decided yesterday."
"Then do you know why?"
The staff member who was asked had a strange expression on his face when he heard this question. Their boss girl was really good at predicting things, and she even guessed this question so accurately.
Recalling what the host girl said yesterday, they conveyed the meaning in their own words, "We, the host girl, did not expect that all the ladies would be so supportive and did not condescend to many things for the New Year. At present, the inventory is not enough, so we can only close the business in advance to prepare."
It’s coming next year.”
This answer sounds like there is nothing wrong with it. They all know that the owner of this beauty hall is not from Beijing. They were shocked when they said it would close on the 27th of the twelfth lunar month. In fact, it would be considered closed around the time of the new year in Beijing.
normal.
It’s understandable that girls from out of town can’t understand these things.
So the ladies who came into the Beauty Hall quickly ordered the things they needed and asked the staff to take them over to check out, for fear that they would be gone if they were too late.
For almost the whole day, there were no visitors to the Beauty Hall, and the maids next to the ladies who came out of the Beauty Hall had a lot of things in their arms.
Today, there are basically no wives to do maintenance. They all go shopping.
So this should be considered their most tiring day since opening.
But when I think about having some rest starting tomorrow, I don't feel tired anymore.
After seeing off the last wave of guests, Qiu An closed the door of the shop outside and led everyone to the back hall.
As they passed by, they happened to see several men carrying bags of things out of the house.
"The holiday will begin after the girl has given out the New Year's gifts." Qiu An answered the question in time.
There are eight people in the Beauty Hall including Qiu An and an aunt behind who helps with cooking. Song Chen has already had people divide things up in advance.
Looking at those things not far away, everyone couldn't help but feel excited. If they saw it correctly, the bags were filled with food.
Although the weather has returned to normal now, this year's autumn harvest is still fruitless. The entire country has almost no harvest, and food is still the most precious thing.
"Sister Qiu'an, is that bag filled with food?"
The things were all moved out, Qiu An didn't make anyone interested, and nodded, "It's all food, everyone has a share."
Anyway, with the skills of their girls, it is not difficult to get food. Providing food to them as year-end benefits will also make them feel more at ease and work hard in the coming year.
Qiu An knew that when her girls did these things, they would often think more, and offering help in times of need was the best way to win people's hearts.
When several young girls heard this, they wanted to hug each other and scream.
At this time, Song Chen had also sat down on the ground. There was a small box in front of him, and on top of the box was a ledger.
I glanced at the people in the yard and saw that they were all here.
"Our business at Beauty Hall this year has been completed today. Tomorrow will be the holiday. I wish you all a happy New Year. In order to thank you for your hard work during this period, I have prepared some New Year gifts for you. I hope you don't dislike it.
.”
What Song Chen said was very polite. This was also the principle of her behavior. No matter who she was in front of, she never felt superior to others.
But these employees all grew up in a low-class environment, and they were very touched when they saw their boss being so polite.
At the beginning, they all planned to sell themselves to rich families as maids, but they did not want to be attracted by Qiu An and come to work here. Sometimes they all felt that this was God taking pity on them and letting their fate begin.
A turning point, I met such a good owner.
"My boss, please don't say that. Thank you for giving us this opportunity."
Before the beauty hall opened, they began to receive training. In addition to learning the rules every day, they also had to learn how to take care of themselves. At that time, all they wanted was to have lunch here. They had not had a full meal every day for more than half a year.
You can eat to your heart’s content here.
For them, the time they worked at Beauty Hall was probably the happiest time in their lives.
They never thought that with their status, they would be lucky enough to meet so many ladies in Beijing, and thanks to their boss, every lady who came here was very polite, and they never
Have you ever been wronged in any way?
"You are like our reinvented parents."
Qiu An has come to Song Chen's side since he brought them into the back hall. Hearing what they said now, Qiu An felt a little emotional. After getting along with them for this period of time, Qiu An basically knew what they were like.
His temperament, these words are definitely not said out of flattery.
This severe drought has really caused too many people to suffer.
Having enough to eat is a dream for too many people.
"You work for me and help me make money. What you get during this period is what you deserve. You earned it with your own labor. I only gave you a chance. If you don't dare to be a parent again, what I have done is also
I just hope that I can live up to my conscience."
Song Chen knew how to win people's hearts, but he didn't like to brainwash people with vain words.
At this time, no matter how much you say, it’s better to just show off the benefits.
"The New Year gifts I have prepared for you this time are all the same. Each person has twenty pounds of grain, one pound of pork, and one piece of dried fish. In addition, your wages and bonuses are slightly different."
In addition to wages, three things once again shocked everyone.
Previously, the food alone was enough to flatter them, but now there is even pork.
You must know that because there is nothing to feed, most of the livestock died in the drought. It is not like grain and dried fish that can be stored. People who can still eat pork at this time are really quite wealthy.
But right now... their year-end benefits actually include pork. Doesn't that mean that their lives are better than most people in Beijing?
