YM778.TV Chapter 107 Expansion of Production
"Manager Sun, find someone to make the clothes that the two storytellers are wearing as soon as possible. The clothes are the same for the two of them, two sets each."
"Yes, Young Master." Manager Sun was no stranger to this process. The clothes on their Shuangzhuan Restaurant were uniform and all of them had the symbol of "Shuangzhuan Restaurant". But the color of their clothing was also different for the employees who work different jobs. Currently, many other restaurants were copying their methods, but there was no way to erase them. The first thing to get dressed up was Shuangzhuan Restaurant. Manager Sun was proud of his Shuangzhuan Restaurant.
"Young Master, how do you plan to decorate the teahouse?"
Qin Mian took out a piece of paper and passed it to him, "The resting area is separated by a wooden board, and the northernmost area is a slightly higher platform. On top of the platform is the storyteller\'s seat; This is a design. "The teahouse serves fruit, drinks, snacks and snacks. I\'ve written down the pricing.
Manager Sun took it and read it. A portion of fruit and 18 pieces of other fruits cost a sum of money; Tea was priced according to the grade of the tea leaves and charged a fee per cup; Juice drinks cost 28 pieces of money per cup; Cucumis melo, half a catty, a portion of five fragrant seeds, a portion of five fragrant seeds, a portion of original seeds, a portion of fruit and melon seeds, a portion of 38 pieces of fruit and seeds; Peanut, a half pound of fruit, five fragrant peanuts, original peanuts, and green tea, all costs an astonishing amount of money; Five specialties, 68 pieces of Golden Silk Cake, 68 pieces of Horseshoe Cake, a portion of egg tart, pudding cake and teacup, and a small amount of 28 pieces of money each.
"Young Master, this price isn\'t low either." Manager Sun saw through one of them and lamented.
Qin Mian laughed disapprovingly, "The teahouse is only open to guests of Shuangzhuan Restaurant. The price of the dishes in the Shuangzhuan Restaurant was higher than other restaurants to begin with. Since the customers could afford to eat the dishes in the Shuangzhuan Restaurant, it was impossible for them to not be able to afford these fruits and snacks. "Moreover, we have a lot of drinks and snacks in our family, it\'s totally worthy of a high price."
Manager Sun nodded his head. He knew that the five fragrant seeds and peanuts were made with the five fragrant ingredients, but he had never heard of Golden Silk Cake, Horseshoe Cake, and Egg Tart.
"In addition," Qin Mian lightly tapped on the table, "In three days, all the dishes that are made from powdered rice are given 500 pieces of paper each, and all the meat dishes are given 2 taels of silver."
Manager Sun cupped his hands: "Yes!"
"Shuangzhuan Restaurant has increased by one tea room, and the number of people has increased as well. "I should ask a few people to help. Just let me know when it\'s done." Qin Mian explained everything to them one by one, "Currently, I can only provide fifty servings of each kind per day. I will get someone to deliver them to you in the morning."
"Yes."
"Call in Qiang Zi and Ye Fengqiu."
"Yes."
When Qiang Zi and Ye Fengqiu came in, they were a bit restrained. Ye Fengqiu hung his head, but it could be seen that he was still feeling a little inferior to himself. When he entered earlier, the attendants and customers of Shuangzhuan Restaurant had all been staring at his legs indistinctly.
Qin Mian leaned against the chair, crossed his arms across his chest, and frowned as he looked at Ye Fengqiu, "Ye Fengqiu, look at my eyes."
Ye Fengqiu stared blankly. He raised his head to look at him and his gaze unconsciously shifted away. This Young Master clearly looked up at him, but he felt an oppressive pressure from his body.
"If even you look down on yourself, then what right do you have to hope that others will look down on you?" Qin Mian stared at him with his sharp eyes, "I do not wish that the day will come where I will regret buying you!"
Ye Fengqiu\'s expression turned cold. Straightening his waist, he solemnly said, "Young Master, this little one knows my wrongs. I ask Young Master to believe this little one\'s words one more time!"
Under the influence of Qin Mian\'s imposing aura, Qiang Zi unconsciously puffed up his chest.
Qin Mian nodded and turned to Qiang Zi.
"Qiang Zi, what\'s your full name?"
Qiang Zi was afraid that he would not be satisfied with him, so he answered loudly, "Reporting to the Young Master, my full name is Lin Qiang!"
"In the future, you two will stay at Shuangzhuan Restaurant as storytellers. Shuangzhuan Restaurant story two times a day, the story told is different. Qiang Zi was in charge of the afternoon and Ye Fengqiu was in charge of the evening. Your task is not too heavy. You only need to work an hour a day. The rest of the time, you will recite and ponder the contents of the next lesson. Not a heavy job. "Lin Qiang, your monthly allowance is set at fifty pieces per month; Ye Fengqiu, your monthly allowance is set at eighty pieces per month."
At the same time, the monthly allowance was different. Lin Qiang and Ye Fengqiu were both puzzled.
Qin Mian asked Lin Qiang, "Do you know why your monthly allowance is less than Ye Fengqiu\'s?"
Lin Qiang shook his head, "I only know that Brother Ye is stronger than me. He can read. I can\'t read. "
Qin Mian looked at him with praise, "He is a smart guy. The thirty cents he has more than you count as my tuition. The story you tell every day is first told to you by him, and you remember it with all your heart. Also, if you have free time, he will teach you how to read. When you can properly read it, your monthly allowance will be the same as Ye Fengqiu\'s. "
"Thank you, Young Master!" After Lin Qiang finished speaking, he gave Ye Fengqiu a simple and honest smile, "Big Brother Ye, I\'ll have to trouble you in the future."
Ye Fengqiu replied with a friendly smile, "No need to be polite. We\'ll help each other out."
Qin Mian passed a few pages to him, "The top three are Lin Qiang\'s stories, and the bottom three are yours. Every day, I will send you new stories. You all should memorize them in advance and carefully figure out the tone and expression they should be using when telling them. In short, you must not delay the next day\'s stories in order to avoid the dissatisfaction of the guests. "
Lin Qiang and Ye Fengqiu replied in unison, "Yes."
"As for the rest of the things, if there are any other things that you don\'t understand, ask Manager Sun."
Qin Mian waved for them to retreat, then said goodbye to the Manager Sun and rode his horse back home. As the sun set, he sped out of town.
"The Lei Tia Family!"
Zhang Dashuan swung his whip and chased after him with the donkey cart.
"Woo ??" Qin Mian stopped and waited, "So it\'s Brother Zhang, what a coincidence."
"I just sent a few guests back to the Zhaoyang County." His eyes were filled with gratitude towards Qin Mian. "With the blessings of you and Tia, I can make 50 to 60 gold coins from sending guests to you everyday. Sometimes, I can even earn more by selling some ingredients and money!"
"That is also something that the Brother Zhang can do. Otherwise, no matter how good the plan is, it\'s useless, no? " Qin Mian looked at the sky, "Brother Zhang, it\'s getting late, why don\'t we walk and talk?"
Zhang Dashuan nodded, "Ok, let\'s go."
Approaching the Qingshan Village, the sun had already set, leaving behind a faint sunset glow in its wake. On the Cereal Field, the child who didn\'t want to go home was still playing, holding onto the bamboo pole with a spiderweb attached to it, catching the dragonfly.
Seeing a tall and slender figure standing motionlessly by the roadside, and a black wolf quietly squatting at his feet, a slight smile appeared on Qin Mian\'s lips as he shook the reins.
"Giddap!"
Zhang Dashuan tactfully slowed down his speed.
The brown horse ran to stop in front of Lei Tia and snorted at him affectionately.
Lei Tia held onto the reins and gave the bamboo cup to Qin Mian. He nodded to Zhang Dashuan and led the horse towards the west side of the village. The Leisurely Dwelling House was too high, so they had to go back to the west.
"Tia, is everything alright at home?" Qin Mian was too lazy to dismount and opened the bamboo cup. There was green bean soup inside.
"Uncle Quan will assist the Uncle Fu, and Aunt will take over the responsibilities of the Aunt Fu. If you feel that this arrangement is inappropriate, you can arrange it again. "
"There\'s nothing inappropriate about it." Qin Mian finished the green bean soup in one breath and smacked his lips.
Lei Tia then continued, "The day after tomorrow will be the birthday of this old man.
Qin Mian stared blankly for a moment, "If I remember correctly, the old man is forty-one this year, and he\'s not going to be reborn?" What kind of tricks was the Madam Du trying to pull now?
Lei Tia shook his head.
Qin Mian thought about it and quickly came to a decision, "Who cares what they do. "There are a lot of things to do these few days. When the time comes, neither of us will go, so let the butler go personally and prepare the wedding gift more seriously. I believe the people at the house have nothing to say."
"I\'ll listen to you."
When they walked past the workshop, both of them simultaneously looked in that direction.
Qin Mian thought about the explosive scene in Shuangzhuan Restaurant today and discussed with Lei Tia, "Tia, eight people are still working too slowly, do you want to invite some more people to work tonight?"
Lei Tia nodded, "That\'s doable. Wife, I\'m worried about something else. "
"What is it?"
Lei Tia got on the horse and sat behind it. He pulled the reins to prevent the horse from eating grass and urged it to leave quickly.
"The appearance of the powder would definitely cause a sensation, and someone would definitely come to inquire about the news. The workshop is a little far from home, so it might not be safe. "
Qin Mian sat cross legged and touched his chin. At that time, the reason why he did not open the Workshop in Tian Ji City was because he did not want too many outsiders to enter.
"How about this." He immediately came up with a solution. "Open the corner door at the northern wall. The extraction of starch paste was originally done by the servants. From now on, it will be done in Tian Juli, with only the addition of a stage for the removal of the starch paste. "
Lei Tia nodded.
The next day, the two of them settled the matter of hiring and Jiaomen. He had to consider safety when he started work at night, so he hired eight men this time. They started at the begi
ing of the year (7 o\'clock) and finished at the begi
ing (7 o\'clock). Qin Mian did not plan to exploit them. Because men worked longer hours than women, and working at night was not good for their health, they paid twenty cents more each month than women, and every three days the eight of them took turns taking one day off in two shifts. Pleasure and Uncle Quan took turns overseeing the work.
