Chapter 305 Settlement of Accounts
"Sandan, do you think the guy on the stage is so powerful? So many people below have to listen to him."
"Yeah, that's amazing. He must be the best among them. Maybe he's even a high-ranking official."
"That makes sense, but it's getting dark, let's go back. If the restaurant gets busy later, we can help out."
"Well, grandma and the others must be very busy."
The two men removed the grass leaves from their heads and hurried towards the restaurant.
After tasting the food in the restaurant, everyone couldn't contain their excitement when it was time for dinner, and everyone rushed to get their meals.
They were running around in high spirits, being real men and doing things without wasting time. They would just take away any dish they liked.
If there is someone in front who is slow, the people behind him will definitely kick him.
There was no way anyone could slow down the speed at which the brothers served the dishes.
"Waiter, I heard there was wine, but how come I haven't seen any wine in two meals?"
When Qi Xu heard someone calling him, he quickly took a rag.
"Sir, we do have wine, but our mine has a clear rule that we can only drink on rest days. We don't serve wine on other days."
The man slapped his forehead when he heard it.
"Yes, yes, yes. If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten. We only have one day off every ten days, so it's still a long time before the next day off."
"Yes, that's the downside to working in a mine. I can't go home every day, and I can't have a warm bed with my wife and children."
"Hahahaha, I'll go home and warm up after I make enough money. The mine pays so much!"
"It's nearly one tael of silver a month. After deducting our food and drink, there will be a lot left. After saving for a year, we can build two good houses. We must seize such a good job. My brothers from my mother's family signed up a little late and are regretting it at home now."
"Don't worry. We will definitely need to hire more people in the back of the mine. How much work can these 70 or 80 people do? We will have to hire people as soon as the dormitories in the back are built."
A group of grown men became friends after just spending half a day together. They sat together to eat, chat, and share information.
Lunch is different from dinner, as there is an extra mushroom dish.
After knowing that the restaurant’s cooking skills were good, everyone inexplicably developed trust in the new dishes.
I want to try anything I haven't eaten before.
Moreover, people seldom eat out in restaurants on weekdays, and now they are no longer bound by money, and what they spend are meal tickets.
When I see something I like, I want to take it away, and I don’t feel bad at all when handing in my meal ticket.
Instead, I feel that I deserve to eat these meals after working so hard.
After eating and drinking, everyone went back to rest.
They were busy until the sun went down, and all the people in the Zhou family had been recruited.
"Sanyah, what do you think we should prepare for breakfast tomorrow morning?" asked Mrs. Liu.
With so many people eating, we need to prepare more breakfast.
"Don't worry, auntie. You've been tired all day. Just go back and have a good rest. I've almost prepared breakfast for tomorrow."
"Okay, as long as you know what's going on, we'll go back first, and the rest of you should go home early too."
The exhausted people went back first on the ox cart, while a few people stayed in the restaurant to continue working.
"San Ya, I just counted the food tickets we collected today. There are 1208 in total. There are 766 green tickets in this stack, 282 red tickets, and the rest are meal tickets. Do you think we can make money?"
Zhou Mingshu thought about it carefully and then laughed.
"Of course we can. One cent can buy more than ten kilograms of vegetables, but if we exchange it for a vegetarian ticket, we can only exchange it for two. Not to mention the meat ticket, which is three cents a piece. Counting the discount of the meal ticket, we can definitely make a profit, but we earn a little less."
"Today is the first day, and there are few people so we sell less. When more people come and they become familiar with the work, the profit will increase."
Zhou Mingqi nodded. With so many people busying around today, he only earned one or two taels of silver. Compared with his previous business, it felt like not much.
But the advantage is that there is a fixed flow of people, so everyone can worry less.
Old Mrs. Zhou was originally worried about letting the maid stay here to keep watch, but San Ya was a stubborn girl.
She had no choice but to let the second child stay with her.
The reason why Zhou Mingshu wanted to stay was simple, because she had to prepare breakfast for tomorrow.
Breakfast is a fixed set meal, which includes a bowl of soup, a pancake, two buns, and a meat ticket.
Zhou Mingshu plans to make spicy soup tomorrow. This soup is relatively simple to make.
She prepared a cloth bag and poured all the spicy soup powder she had exchanged from the system into it.
There are prepared dried vegetables and bean curd in it. Once the water boils tomorrow, just pour it in according to the correct proportions.
For the pancakes, make the champion pancake, and the customized big pot will come in handy!
The pot she made is rotatable. After one side is heated, you can just turn the handle to heat the other side. There is no need to lift the lid and turn it over. When the pancake is cooked, you can spread the prepared sauce on it and it’s done!
As for steamed buns, as long as you have ready-made fillings and dough, it is not difficult to wrap them, but it is a bit laborious.
Even if you have a dumpling mold in hand, it still takes some time.
On this first morning, I woke up a little earlier and did it.
Zhou Mingshu had no choice but to let the dough rise first, which would save him some trouble tomorrow.
"Dad, have you locked the front and back doors?"
"Don't worry, it's locked, the water in the pot is boiled, go take a shower first."
Zhou Mingshu took the basin and went to take a bath, while Zhou Laoer lay on the chair and admired the moon in the sky.
After a busy day, Zhou Laoer lay down on the chair and snored before Zhou Mingshu came out of the shower.
Zhou Mingshu smiled and woke Zhou Laoer up.
"Dad, go take a shower and go to sleep. It's cold in the mountains at night. Go and clean up."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
There was a gurgling stream in the yard. Zhou Mingshu took advantage of the bright moonlight and scooped up some of his washed clothes.
If you hang it in the sun like this, it will be dry by noon tomorrow.
Lying on the bed, Zhou Mingshu kept thinking about how to make the restaurant business more profitable.
The workers were paid thirty cents a day, which sounded like a lot, but you couldn't really buy anything by walking around the streets.
The food in the restaurant is cheap, so it's a sure win for them, but the profit is not that significant, and they have employed so many workers.
Judging from the number of food tickets collected today, everyone tends to choose vegetarian dishes. Even if meat dishes are delicious, they will not choose meat dishes every time.
Farmers who have been frugal all their lives are reluctant to spend so much money to eat some meat.
Maybe things will get better after I get paid after a while.
Zhou Mingshu turned over in bed and suddenly thought of a group.
