The first day was busy, and it was not until midnight that it was over, and Aunt Manqing and Aunt Gui were so tired that they couldn't straighten their waists. Seeing them pounding their waists and pinching their legs one by one, Osmanthus who was responsible for collecting money came over with a smile, and poured the copper coins in the drawer onto the table.

At this time, Zhang Ye, who happened to be busy outside during the day, also came to pick up Man Qing, and when he heard the words, he sat down and counted with them.

If the meat and vegetables are converted into market prices, there are about 900 copper plates earned on this day, and if you don't count those, then there are more than 1,200 copper plates on this day. Now the highest wage for working at the wharf is to smash stones, about 90 copper plates a day, and I invited some daughters-in-law to help cook and wash clothes by the river, but it was only 30 or 40 copper plates a day. After all, the day is still worth it.

Seeing the happy looks of the others, Man Qing couldn't help but smile happily: "It's equivalent to each of us going to smash stones for a day today!"

"Hahaha, you're tired, I'm not tired!" Osmanthus simply frowned, "I will collect money today, and I can earn so much, hahaha, it's too cost-effective!"

Gao Siliang first beat his waist, and then hurried to help the big-bellied osmanthus, "You can slow down for me!"

Osmanthus asked him, "Are you tired today?"

"I'm not tired, I'm just running errands!" said the senior laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth.

"That's it! It can be seen that this money is still easy to earn!"

Man Qing was amused when she heard it, and looked at the two of them like double reeds. Seeing this, Zhang Ye also hurriedly rubbed Manqing's waist and asked her if she was tired, and when she saw Manqing shaking her head, she was a little distressed: "It's strange if you're not tired! I've heard it outside, many people come to us to buy food to eat! Some come at noon and come at night - how many dishes do you have to make!"

"It's all done in advance, and it's not tiring. Don't worry, I know. ”

"Hmm. Zhang Ye looked at everyone, and still amplified his voice, "Listen to me." I know that I made some money today, and everyone is happy, but it is still not enough. Think about it, we didn't count our shop, these furniture, and so many ingredients in the back. If we all include it, when will we be able to pay back the hundreds of dollars we earn every day? This amount of money is just enough to pay everyone's wages for one cent. ”

As soon as he said this, everyone quieted down, and their enthusiasm just now decreased a lot, and they all looked at him.

"And ah, the osmanthus is now nine months old, and it will be born soon. Waiting for Osmanthus to live a lifetime, she will take the baby, and Aunt Gui will also help bring the baby, there will be two fewer people in this store all of a sudden; four taels, it is impossible to be a lifelong shopkeeper, I still have a lot of things over there, and I still need him to run, and the future will definitely be greater than this - so there will be one less person; Aunt Zhou has helped to do a lot of things, but she also has to help at home, and she has to take time to help Gao Lao, and there is a lot of time that can not be here. Of course, we can invite people to come, but we have to spend money to invite people, just a few hundred dollars, and we have to divide some of them, you do the math, how much do you have left?"

There was another person he didn't say, and that was Man Qing. He couldn't bear to let Manqing work so hard, but if he said now that he wanted to invite the chef to come, it is estimated that Manqing would not agree.

Well, this is not a decrease in enthusiasm, but a direct dissipation.

Seeing this, Man Qing pinched Zhang Ye's waist, "If you have something to say, say it well!"

Zhang Ye sighed, "Aren't I afraid that everyone will be proud, so I told some future difficulties in advance!"

Everyone's faces eased at this time. Aunt Gui glanced at him, "We haven't thought about what you said, but hasn't that day come yet, isn't it a little too early to worry now?"

"It's not early, some things still have to be planned in advance. However, you don't have to worry, the reason why you don't earn enough money today is because the people who come to eat are all working coolies, so where are you willing to spend money on eating, just eat and eat! You say, are the people who come to eat today on the 10 square tables in front, not to mention the box upstairs, and the big round tables behind the back floor are rarely used?"

The senior nodded frequently.

"That's because the pier hasn't opened yet, and a lot of people are just coming to see it, and they don't plan to do business yet. Moreover, you can see that most of the shops around have not opened, and when they are all opened, it will be lively here, and our big business will be considered good, and it is the time to really make money!"

Everyone nodded, and confidence returned, "So when will this pier open?"

"I said it was June, but now I don't know. Zhang Ye was a little helpless, "I'm just a small bag foreman, and now this piece is actually under the control of the imperial court! ”

Since everyone's interest in making money is so high, let's do more to contribute, although I don't want to deal with those people anymore......

Man Qing understood his concerns and looked at him with some concern, he smiled and shook his head slightly to show that he was okay.

Now that these things are said, everyone will start to think of a solution, but it is not something that can be solved in a day or two. But the manpower is still easy to solve, Aunt Gao, Aunt Gao, there are still many capable women in the village. But this chef has to look for a good job.

At night, Gui Fu stayed in the store and guarded the store, and everyone else went home. Fortunately, everyone is not too far from the restaurant, and Zhang's family is just a corner away.

Gui Fu has become more and more honest and honest this year, he is simply an all-round talent, and he is there wherever he is needed. He works diligently and steadfastly, many people now want to ask him if he is married, and then he will laugh, if Aunt Gui is next to him, he will laugh and say loudly: "I am married, I will get married three days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I will have time to drink a glass of wine!"

Gui Fu's family affairs were set for the first three days of the Mid-Autumn Festival. The girl is from the next village, and she doesn't talk much, Man Qing and Osmanthus went to see it secretly, and she looked at a girl who was very steady and neat.

It's just a little skinny.

But Aunt Gui likes it, saying that it's good to be thinner, their family is fat, and the grandchildren born in the future will not be so fat.

At night, Zhang Ye gave Manqing a good massage, which made her gasp again and again, and the quilt was naturally a red wave.

In this way, life began to work in order. Zhang Ye also became busier and busier every day, sometimes at the dock, sometimes in the town...... But no matter where he went, at the beginning of the evening, he would return home after all, because Manqing didn't ask much.

The business of the restaurant is slowly rising, but it is not much better, after all, the marina has not really opened yet. During this period, the surrounding shops also opened one after another, what dry goods shops, cloth villages, inns...... A street is becoming more and more popular, but it seems to be suppressed, waiting for something big to happen.

In June, the osmanthus became more and more bulky, and the senior two and Aunt Gui were almost inseparable behind her. On June 6, Osmanthus was still joking about the good days in the morning, but in the afternoon she began to feel sick to her stomach. Fortunately, most of the guests at noon had already eaten and left, so they didn't attract any onlookers, and Gao Siliang and Gui Fu hurriedly carried people home.

Osmanthus was in good health, and she gave birth to a big fat girl at night, with a very loud voice, which made the group of people waiting outside laugh when they heard it.

After Aunt Gui saw that her daughter was fine, she carefully carried her granddaughter out, and smiled like a chrysanthemum on her face: "This girl has a heavy hand! is a healthy one!hahaha, did you hear the cry just now, hahaha, like our Gui family!"

The senior couple of high school was relieved to hear that Osmanthus was fine, so they came up to see their daughter, but Aunt Gui was proud at this time, and she didn't care about his mood all of a sudden, and said that she was like the Gui family...... The two faces of the senior year of high school are a little twitched.

Zhang Ye also accompanied Man Qing to guard on the side, and it was funny when he heard this, so he also leaned up and took a look: "It's really strong! Hahaha, four taels, congratulations, you have a sturdy girl!"

Aunt Gui saw that there was a high school tael next to her, so she hurriedly handed her granddaughter over to him, "Look, your daughter is strong!"

The senior wanted to hug him, but Aunt Gui hesitated, but still carefully handed it over to his hand, "Your hand is relaxed, you can't use too much force - hey, you can also use some force, I can't spare you if I drop your daughter when the time comes!"

So the senior two carefully held their freshly baked little girl, looked at it for a long time, and finally couldn't help grinning.
