Chapter 169: New Year's Plan (2nd Update)
"One night is two years old, five is divided into two days", Dazhou has the custom of keeping the New Year all night on Chinese New Year's Eve, which means to remove the old and welcome the new, drive away disasters and welcome hope.
Shu Yao and Shu Wen also wanted to keep the New Year in previous years, but they fell asleep when they were not young, and then they were carried to bed by Shujie to fall asleep, and Shujie would also press two big red envelopes under their pillows.
This year, I don't know if it was too late for Lu Dao to come back from the palace, and there were still many things to ask and talk about, so the two sisters and brothers actually stayed all night with great interest.
Xiutao, Tian'en, Uncle Kui, Jinniang, as well as Qiangbo and Aunt Qiang all kept vigil in the main hall with them, listening to the interesting stories of the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet in the palace. Of course, what they are most interested in is the "farce" of Ju Dove Palace described by Liu's mother and the "tragedy" of the Murong family, which is very happy!
Uncle Qiang squinted comfortably and raised his glass to the sky: "Evil is rewarded, God has finally opened his eyes, come, toast." Everyone laughed, and Aunt Qiang snatched the cup from Uncle Qiang's hand and scolded with a smile: "The young master and the girls are here, don't pour some cat urine and look foreign." ”
Uncle Qiang glanced at his daughter-in-law: "How can it? Am I such an ignorant person? Orange brocade has already replaced the wine in this cup with decanting soup, and I will go to the tofu shop to watch it in a while, where can I get drunk? ”
Shujie smiled: "Uncle Qiang has worked hard, and he didn't have to rest on the first day of the Lunar New Year. ”
Aunt Qiang pouted: "Where did he work hard?" It's like a mouse falling into a rice bowl. ”
Uncle Qiang was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Thanks to the young master and the girl, the slave is really a mouse falling into the rice jar now." Don't talk about me, who in the tofu workshop is not happy and energetic? Which one feels hard? There are a lot of people outside with red eyes, and they don't have a chance to enter our tofu factory 'hard'. ”
Originally, Shujie decided to go from Chinese New Year's Eve to the fifth day of the new year. The tofu workshop was closed for six days. Who knew that the voices of those big patrons were very high. Don't break the file. They even took the initiative to jointly propose to continue to order tofu brain and soy milk at three times the usual price during these six days.
Some people accidentally discovered that Michelle soybean milk is particularly easy to use, and it does not have a headache and a comfortable stomach after sobering.
During the Chinese New Year, there are banquets every day when those high-ranking families come and go, and wine is naturally indispensable, so the rice snow soybean milk that can comfortably relieve hangover is naturally indispensable.
And if you have big fish and meat every day, you also need small dishes like shallots and tofu, right?
Not to mention those ladies and ladies. Mixue tofu brain and soy milk are not only delicious for them, but also "beauty cream" for internal consumption, where are they willing to cut off? Not to mention three times, even ten times willing, that money is really cheap for them, but the effect and taste are not ambiguous at all.
Shujie asked Uncle Kui, Uncle Qiang, and the two shopkeepers to listen to everyone's opinions, the tofu factory will not be closed for the past six days, but it will only be done once a day, and the store will not sell. Exclusively for those big customers who are pre-booked.
The staff of the tofu workshop take turns to work, working one day and resting the other. The salary is also three times that of normal days.
Who wouldn't want to? They would like to do it twice a day, as they normally would, so that everyone can get three times the pay for six days.
The staff of the tofu workshop can only be used by rough servants in other prefectures, and they all take the lowest level of monthly silver. When I arrived in Xia Mansion, I was assigned to the tofu factory, and I got a salary, which was higher than the long-term wages in most workshops in the capital, and sometimes I worked overtime, which was about the same as the monthly silver taken by the first- and second-class maids and small stewards in the big family's mansion, and the food and accommodation treatment was good. Therefore, the staff of Mi Xue Tofu Workshop are more willing to work and do their duty than one another, for fear that the master will be dissatisfied and sell them out, where can there be such a good master and such a good life?
Not to mention that it is now three times the salary, that is, the same salary as usual, and no one will say a "no", who doesn't want to do it? There is still a large group of people waiting for the opportunity to sell into the summer house and enter the rice snow tofu factory.
After listening to Uncle Qiang's words, Shu Yao suddenly said: "Speaking of which, we really have to prepare to buy a new batch of people, Uncle Kui, do you think there is a problem if we open one or two 'Qiaoweiju' now?" ”
Uncle Kui's eyes lit up, and he put on a posture of gearing up: "No problem, no problem, now Uncle Qiang and Aunt Qiang are in good order to manage the tofu workshop, and the shopkeepers of the two stores are also handy, the big Zhuangzi newly bought in the southern suburbs has been arranged, and now Ah Rong (Uncle Rong, the second housekeeper of foreign affairs) is in charge of following up, and the original Liang Zhuangtou on the Zhuangzi is also a good one." Young master, girl, the slave was about to suggest to you that the 'Qiaoweiju' be opened, and Sister-in-law Ren also mentioned it to me several times. ”
In order to open "Qiaoweiju", Shu Yao had already bought a few people who were good at making dim sum, and selected three of them to learn the dim sum recipe left by Donnie Yen, and Sister-in-law Ren was the steward among the three. Sister-in-law has a son who is the same age as Shuwen, literate and numeracy, and now changes his name to Tongjin, to be a personal servant of Shuwen, to keep up with Shangjin just one article and one martial arts, and learn from each other.
For the first time, Shuwen suggested to the shop at home, asking Shu Yao to give her sister-in-law only one-third of the dim sum recipes, and after they learned each recipe, they had to extend at least three to five new dim sum recipes with the same main ingredients, different ingredients, and different tastes, so that they could continue to learn the next dim sum recipe.
Not to mention, this trick of the book detonated the enthusiasm of the three sisters-in-law, they were already good at making dim sum, familiar with all kinds of dim sum materials, and now there are new inspirations, incentives and competition, it is really a spring of ingenuity, so that the house from top to bottom feast. The one-third recipe that Shu Yao took out was enough to surprise diners after the opening of "Qiaoweiju", and it often came out with new varieties, and there would be no shortage of new varieties for at least one or two years.
Shu Jie and Shu Yao praised Shuwen fiercely, and Shu Yao later found out that this younger brother had been affected by Uncle Kui and Aunt Jin for a long time, and he had a new set of thinking about doing business. In addition to the dim sum recipe, a series of ideas put forward by the book are all whimsical. Uncle Kui became more and more fond of looking for books and texts to discuss things in the store, and I don't know which sentence or thing can suddenly inspire a new idea that is different from Shuwen, and it can be used in store sales almost quickly to see results. Of course, that's still a story for later.
When Shujie heard Uncle Kui's words, he also felt that the time should be ripe: "In this case, Uncle Kui, you can start looking for a suitable store, and at the same time, let Ya Po send someone over to select and train." Sister-in-law is responsible for the production of dim sum, and she still needs a shopkeeper. ”
Mother Liu smiled: "It's just right, that day the girl said that she wanted to open a bigger Qiaoweiju, and an old sister in the palace before me said that her husband's aunt and grandmother had a very big store to change hands, Uncle Kui, I will give you the address and the person to contact, you will go and see it in two days."
