Chapter 2243 2245【Recruitment】
Seeing that Xiang Nan is willing to accept Sai Diaochan and Xiaocui, Lou Zhixian is also very pleased.
Actually, he didn't want to sell the two of them, and he didn't want to push them into the fire pit.
After all, Sai Diaochan and Xiaocui are beautiful, and they are most likely to be bought by a brothel at a high price. And once a woman enters the brothel, her life will be worse than death.
"Good nephew, you can be lenient and let the past go, I am really pleased to accept the two of them." Lou Zhixian stroked his beard and said, and then told Sai Diaochan and Xiaocui, "You two must follow the rules in the future. , don’t make mistakes again. Otherwise, I will never forgive you.”
"Yes." Sai Diaochan and Xiaocui both nodded.
Afterwards, the two signed a contract of selling their lives and officially became Xiang Nan's house slaves.
Xiang Nan also bid farewell to Lou Zhi County, and took Sai Diaochan and Xiaocui back home.
Yang Huilan couldn't help being curious when she saw the two of them, "Isn't this the shopkeeper Sai from Yihonglou? What's the matter?"
Xiang Nan told the story of the future.
Yang Huilan felt weird and unimaginable after listening to it.
The boss of the dignified Yihonglou, unexpectedly reduced from a big shopkeeper to a slave in just half a day. Encounters in life are really amazing.
"You are really bad enough, you dare to falsely accuse my husband-in-law, see if I don't teach you a lesson." She immediately raised her eyebrows, picked up a feather duster, and was about to beat someone.
"Madam, please forgive me, please forgive me." Sai Diaochan and Xiao Cui hurriedly begged for mercy when they saw it.
They knew that Yang Huilan knew martial arts, and if they were beaten up by her, they would still be alive.
"Hey, don't hit them, don't hit them. The two of them have already suffered retribution." Seeing this, Xiang Nan hurriedly stopped, "Besides, if they are broken, they have to be kept. Isn't it even worse for us?"
Yang Huilan nodded after hearing this, "Okay, if you don't beat them, don't beat them. I will torture them in the future."
Hearing what she said, both Sai Diaochan and Xiao Cui shuddered.
Xiang Nan didn't stop him this time.
Although he wanted to use Sai Diaochan, he also wanted to sharpen her temper first, at least let her adapt to his identity first.
Otherwise, I immediately arrange her to be the shopkeeper, and the treatment will be favorable. Not only will she not be grateful, but she will easily become dissatisfied.
…
Xiang Nan then returned to Tongfu Inn.
When they heard that Sai Diaochan's master and servant had been sold by the government to Xiang Nan as a slave to pay a fine of 2,500 taels of silver, everyone in Tongfu Inn sighed.
"The shopkeeper Sai is really unlucky. There is such an unreliable manager at the stall, and he calls himself bankrupt."
"She is rewarded for evil. If she hadn't gone to Fucheng to falsely accuse Magistrate Lou and Dazui, then the manager wouldn't have been unrestrained and yelled randomly."
"In the future, you still have to be kind. If Shopkeeper Sai did business in a down-to-earth manner and didn't engage in vicious competition, he wouldn't be where he is today." Everyone said with emotion.
Without the vicious competition from Yihonglou, at night, Tongfu Inn is really overwhelmed with guests.
A long line of people lined up at the door, and the inn was full of seats.
Lao Bai, Xiao Guo, and Xiucai were so busy that they kept their feet on the ground, welcoming customers, ordering, serving dishes, collecting bills, and even the shopkeeper clearing the tables and chairs.
Therefore, after closing time, everyone is exhausted and exhausted.
"Shopkeeper, I have to say something, our restaurant has to hire more people." Xiang Nan said, "There are so many guests, I am a chef, and I really can't handle it. I can only take one minute for a dish. Three It takes five hours to prepare a hundred dishes."
"That's right, Dazui has to choose vegetables, wash vegetables, chop vegetables, and cook vegetables. It's really too busy for one person." Xiao Guo nodded, "According to our attendance rate, at least two people have to be invited. One cook, five helpers."
"You have to invite a few more waiters and handymen." Lao Bai said, "Otherwise there will be too many guests, and I really can't greet Xiao Guo."
"It's best to add another accountant, I'm a bit busy by myself." Lu Xiucai also said.
Tong Xiangyu beat his waist, looked at the account book, and nodded, "All recruits, all recruits."
Tonight, their net profit was as much as fourteen taels. If you count the morning market and afternoon market, I am afraid that there will be a huge amount of twenty or thirty taels. With such a huge profit, we should hire more buddies.
…
The next day, Tongfu Inn posted a recruitment notice, and candidates soon came to the door.
Everyone saw that none of them were outsiders. They were all chefs, helpers, entertainers and accountants from Yihong Building opposite.
It turned out that Yihonglou was robbed yesterday, and they couldn't stop them, so they could only run away first. Today I dared to come back to pick up my own luggage, and saw that their luggage and belongings were all taken away.
For a while, I didn't know what to do.
Because the chefs, entertainers, and accountants are not locals, they are all hired by Sai Diaochan from other places. Now that their luggage and belongings have been robbed, they have no money to go home.
Just now when they saw that Tongfu Inn was recruiting, they all came here in a swarm.
Seeing this, Tong Xiangyu immediately accepted all of them.
On the one hand, she is kind-hearted and does not want to see people suffer. If these chefs, entertainers, and accountants were not taken in by her, they might have to beg for food and go home, and they might die on the way.
On the one hand, these are also rare talents. The four chefs are all master chefs of Zuixianlou in Yangzhou, with two red cases and two white cases, with first-class cooking skills.
Four South Opera performers can sing the whole version of "The Story of the West Chamber", "The Pavilion of Worshiping the Moon", "The Story of the White Rabbit" and other small operas;
These talents are carefully selected by Sai Diaochan from all directions, and it is very difficult to recruit them in Qixia Town, and now they are all at their own expense.
It's a pity that those maids were snatched away yesterday, otherwise it would be good to stay to serve the dishes.
Fortunately, waiters and handymen are not considered technical jobs, and recruitment is relatively easy, so three waiters and three handymen were quickly recruited.
As a result, the number of employees at Tongfu Inn has reached twenty-three.
In terms of monthly money: three taels for the chef, one tael for the accountant, eight money for the entertainer, five money for the kitchen helper, four money for the waiter, and four money for the handyman.
Xiang Nan took the initiative to reduce his salary to three taels, while the salaries of other veteran employees remained unchanged. So the monthly money is thirty-two taels of silver. It is about equivalent to the daily income of Tongfu Inn, and it is worth it.
After recruiting troops, Tongfu Inn really had the momentum of a big restaurant. Within a radius of a hundred miles, it is considered the largest restaurant.
The so-called name of a person and the shadow of a tree naturally attract more and more people, and make Tongfu Inn more and more prosperous.
…
Although there are many employees in Tongfu Inn, the core members are Tong Xiangyu, Bai Zhantang, Guo Furong, Lu Qinghou, Xiang Nan and Mo Xiaobei.
After all, the six of them have experienced ups and downs, and their feelings are deeper and more sincere, while the others are simply migrant workers, and they don’t live in the store, but rent a house outside.
