Chapter 301 Too Gentle
"Okay, that's it."
Qi Xu ran away laughing. Zhou Mingshu shook his head and wrote Qi Xu's name on the paper.
The Zhou family's people worked back and forth for several days, and almost all the staff needed for the restaurant were gathered.
At least you won't be in a rush then.
The roast duck business in the town was no longer in business, and all the staff focused their attention on the restaurant.
Liu and Zhu were not idle either. They picked up the pots and learned how to cook.
Cooking at home on weekdays was just a small thing, but now that there is a restaurant at home, the taste of the food has to be unified.
Zhou Mingshu made a menu, which included meat, vegetarian, soup and side dishes, with a wide variety of options.
"Aunt, mother, please pick some of your favorite dishes and practice cooking them in advance, so you don't have to panic when the time comes."
"Sanya is right. We should practice in advance."
So the three of them sat together and chatted while choosing. Everyone took the dish they wanted to make back home and practiced it slowly later.
"When the store opens, the two of us will be in charge of cooking. I wonder if we can handle it?"
Liu was still a little worried because she saw the wok in the woodshed.
Although it is not big, it is still a bit heavy to lift.
"It doesn't matter. I'm here for you. There won't be too many people at the beginning. We can hire a chef when the number of people increases. We have several ready-made chefs at home."
After Zhou Mingshu said this, Liu and Zhu started laughing.
That's not the case. Shou'an and Xiao Shen are both cooks in the military camp. If we are too busy, we can assign them jobs as chefs. I just don't know if these two guys are willing to do that.
A few people smiled at each other and looked at the group of people working silently in the small yard.
Now that the roast duck business has stopped, they no longer have to kill ducks.
Several people were chopping wood with axes in their hands, shouting slogans to encourage themselves from time to time.
Zhou Lao Da and Zhou Lao San were preparing to transport two of the hanging stoves to the restaurant and sell roast duck directly there.
When the time comes, we can pair it with the beer brewed by San Ya and we won’t have to worry about not being able to sell it.
In addition to the hanging stove, all the kitchen utensils in the woodshed were taken over.
After several trips back and forth, it was finally almost done.
"Oh, that's great. Our restaurant can be built right away without us having to worry about anything. The house and the venue are all ready-made. It's really worry-free."
"That's not true! Once our restaurant opens, we will be able to make more money. Just thinking about it makes me happy."
The two sisters-in-law were chatting and laughing, but Feng was feeling depressed.
"Sana, your mother and your aunt both have work to do. What do you think I should do? I don't want to stay idle at home."
Sidan has grown up now and will be able to learn to walk in a few months.
She was so young and really didn't want to waste time.
"Aunt, of course you have work to do, and it's very important. When we sit together in the evening and discuss it carefully, you will understand after we have each taken charge of our respective tasks."
"Oh, that's good, that's good. Your brother is so young and I was afraid you would forget me. Si Ya has grown up now and can help look after her brother."
Zhou Mingshu smiled and nodded. She knew that her aunt didn't want to stay idle at home. Every time she gave her an errand, her face was full of eagerness.
The family finished their meal and started the family meeting without waiting to clean up.
Zhou Mingshu took out his notes and began to assign tasks to everyone.
"This is not the final arrangement. If you have any objections, please let me know in advance so that I can make adjustments."
"Auntie and Auntie are responsible for cooking in the back kitchen; Uncle is responsible for roasting duck, stewing goods and firewood; Dad is responsible for the farmland and long-term workers, and Uncle is responsible for transporting meat and vegetables back and forth. You two can help out in the restaurant when you are free; Grandma and Auntie are responsible for collecting chicken, duck, fish, eggs and various vegetables at home, and are also responsible for making side dishes and cold dishes such as boiled eggs; Big Sister is responsible for the ointment and soap at home, Big Brother stays in the back kitchen to help, Second Sister is responsible for collecting wine tickets and meal tickets, I am responsible for overall planning, and I will help everyone with some things when I am free; In addition, Ah Fu is responsible for boiling the pot, and Qi Xu helps with chopping firewood. Do you have any objections to what you hear?"
"I have an opinion! Why do everyone have clear work tasks but I don't?"
Zhou Mingzhi was the first to break the silence among everyone.
"Brother, your job is very important. You are the link between the kitchen and the front hall. Without you, nothing can function. Think about it, my aunt and my mother are already busy cooking, so we don't have time to serve the dishes. We also don't know what dishes are missing in the front hall. So we have to rely on you."
"So I'm so important, so I'll do this."
Zhou Mingzhi smiled and had no objection.
Seeing that no one had any objections, we decided to do so for the time being.
"Let's do it this way for now, and we'll adjust it if there's anything inappropriate."
Everyone felt more at ease after receiving the task. It would be best if they could take care of both home and the restaurant.
After everyone left, Zhou Mingqin tugged at her sister's sleeve.
"Saya, why did you leave such an important task of making ointment and soap to me alone? I'm afraid I can't do it."
Zhou Mingqin frowned and twisted her fingers together, and it was obvious that she was very unsure.
"Sister, you have been doing this for so long, how come you don't have any experience? Is there something you don't know?"
"That's not the case. I'm just afraid when those people come to take the goods."
Zhou Mingshu laughed when she heard this, she knew what was going on.
"Oh, big sister, there's nothing to be afraid of. They can't eat you. Besides, grandma and the others are at home. Don't be afraid. Just treat them like I usually do."
My eldest sister is a little too gentle. We need to give her some experience to help her grow braver.
"Also, my second sister and I won't stay in the restaurant all the time. We will definitely run back and forth and won't let you face outsiders alone."
After hearing what her sister said, Zhou Mingqin nodded and felt less worried.
Everyone in the family is busy, and she can't hold them back.
Thinking about everyone's work, Zhou Mingqin suddenly found that making soap at home was the most suitable arrangement for her.
The next day, Zhou Laosan went out for a trip, and when he came back there was half a pig on the ox cart.
Old Mrs. Zhou asked someone to cut the meat into pieces, wash the fat, and asked two people to boil the oil.
"Big sister, our family will definitely not be out of lard in the future. Just let me know in advance how much you need. We will need more and more lard in the future, so you should know when to use it."
Zhou Mingqin nodded and said that she would definitely do a good job on this matter.
