Chapter 50: Lack of Manpower
This person didn't buy tofu, so he didn't leave, Chen Chunhua was a little helpless, and looked at him. "This big brother, the tofu in this house was sold out early in the morning, do you think this will be successful, I have left some dried tofu in the house, you can take it back and eat it first?"
The middle-aged man listened, nodded, and said. "Cheng, I'll buy some dried tofu first, I won't be able to come over early tomorrow morning, please leave me a few pieces of tofu!"
"Okay!" Chen Chunhua saw that he agreed. Turned around and went to the backyard to get dried tofu, wrapped it in a clean cloth and handed it to him, and said. "I'm really embarrassed today, you take this dried tofu back, you have to eat it, if you can't eat it, I can't either!"
The middle-aged man took the dried tofu, took out his purse, poured out a few copper coins, and said. "Do you think that's enough?"
Chen Chunhua looked at his hands that had cracked this hole, and hurriedly waved his hand and said. "Big brother, I gave you this dried beans, no money!"
The middle-aged man thought that he would not charge money to buy tofu here, so he thought about putting away the copper coins and said. "Thank you, I'll go back and buy a piece!" After speaking, he took the dried tofu and left the shop quickly.
Seeing that this person was gone, Chen Chunhua was free, and then he looked at the owner of Chunji Restaurant. "Sorry to keep you waiting!" At first, I thought they were coming together, but after the owner of this Chunji restaurant said, I realized that it was not all the way at all.
"Not long after, I have nothing to do, here, I just want to order tofu and dried tofu from you, but I have to ask for a few ways from you." Chun Kee Restaurant is just down the street in front of you, and it's a short walk away.
When Chen Chunhua heard this, she couldn't help muttering in her heart, she just went to Fengxiang in the morning, and this time there was another spring record. "Boss Zhao, I'm running out of tofu today, or you will come tomorrow morning." The owner of this Chunji restaurant is surnamed Zhao, and according to him, his elders also moved out of Zhaojia Village.
When Boss Zhao heard this, he had a little thought, although his restaurant was not as big as Fengxiang Restaurant, it had been some years, and he had just received a letter from the guy, so his eyes tightened. Seeing the meaning of the owner of this tofu shop, he didn't refuse, and said with a smile. "Cheng, I'll come here!"
"Alas, I'm really embarrassed, I'm waiting for you!"
"Yes, you get busy first, and I'll go back!" Seeing Boss Zhao away, Chen Chunhua hurriedly closed the door. This is open to do business, and it is not possible to do it without inventory. If it was said that there was nothing wrong a few days before the opening, now that it is clear, I have to leave some tofu in the future.
Chen Chunhua was also tired, looking at several large buckets of soybeans, and feeling his shoulders sore when he thought about it.
The third child saw that Chen Chunhua was not busy and said. "But the tofu buyer just came?"
"Alas, the tofu in the house is sold out, so I have to keep some tofu in the past." There are three stone mills in the yard, Chen Chunhua and Lao San occupy one, just the third grinds soybeans, and he can't be busy at all, Chen Chunhua's arm is heavy, and after a few pushes, he stopped to rest.
Seeing that the daughter-in-law was really tired, the third child put down the scoop in his hand and said. "Daughter-in-law, I'm going to call the second brother!"
Chen Chunhua shook her head and said. "Doesn't the second brother still have to be busy? Second, where the pillar is not allowed to let people go. ”
"It's nothing, I'll go over and have a look!"
"Cheng, you go early!" The third child answered, and went straight to the west side of the town.
The second child didn't have any busy work this morning, the coolie work was almost done, and the rest was the technical work, and he didn't know how to make wood on the beam, so he sat aside and rested when he was free.
"Third brother, why are you here?" The second pillar also knew that the daughter-in-law in the second room had opened a shop, and when he saw the third child coming, he hurriedly said hello.
The third child looked at the second pillar and looked at the second child who was sitting and resting. "Second brother, are you free?"
The second child patted the dust on his body and said. "Dekong, why are you here?"
"Erzhuzi, I'm busy with this shop, are you still busy?" The third child pondered that the second child would work directly in the shop, and it would cost money to invite people, so it was better to let the people in his own house earn this money.
Erzhuzi understood this, nodded, and said. "Don't be busy, is the second brother going to pay for his salary?"
"Knot!"
The second pillar didn't say anything, he paid the second child for these days, and after taking the salary, the second and third children immediately rushed back to the shop in the east of the town.
Seeing that the second child was coming, Chen Chunhua was relieved and almost fell back from the stool, but the second child hurriedly supported her and said. "Daughter-in-law, you go to rest first, I'll be busy!"
Chen Chunhua stood up with the second child's hand, sat next to him, and said. "Second brother, aren't you busy over there?"
The second child grinded with one hand and added beans with the other, and nodded. "I haven't been busy this morning, I have paid the salary with the second pillar, and the third brother said that the shop is very busy, and the daughter-in-law is tired!"
With one more person, things get done faster. Chen Chunhua rested for a while, and then began to go through the bean dregs, and the two of them grinded the beans, but Chen Chunhua was too busy.
"Spring flower, open the door!" Dong Niang was bored in the house, thinking that Chunhua was busy here, so she should come over to help. Chen Chunhua heard the voice, stopped moving, and went to open the door.
"Dong Niang, why are you here?"
"I'm just bored, I want to come and see if there's anything I can do to help!" Dong Niang said and entered the backup, Chen Chunhua closed the door and followed in.
Dong Niang has seen the second child, and she is not unfamiliar with seeing it this time.
"The owner is here!" The second child turned his head to say hello, and the movements of his hands did not stop.
Dong Niang nodded, Chen Chunhua heard Dong Niang say that she was here to help, and she was really not polite at all, beckoned to her, and said. "Dong Niang, you come to help me!"
"Dong Niang, there are not enough people in this shop, I wonder if I should invite another person!" Chen Chunhua was busy with her hands and looked up at Dong Niang.
"Okay, if you find someone, tell me!"
"I've thought about it, instead of inviting someone else, it's better to let my family come over to help, and the manpower is enough, but this salary is just this salary" This partnership in business, of course, has to be calculated.
Dong Niang understood what Chen Chunhua meant, and she had no opinion on this.
Busy until dinner, Dong Niang rubbed her sore shoulders, said goodbye to Chen Chunhua and left. Chen Chunhua wanted to let Dong Niang eat together, but she thought that the dried tofu had been given away, and the family could only eat some pickles to swallow.
The amount of soybeans milled in the afternoon is large, after all, the business is open, so naturally it can't be delayed, but fortunately, the second child is here, and there is Dong Niang's helper, and it is done quickly.
After doing this, the third child went into the kitchen to eat, and the second child sat next to Chen Chunhua, took out his purse and gave it to her. "Daughter-in-law, this is my salary for working with these two pillars."
Chen Chunhua counted it and put it away, saying. "Second brother, what's wrong with the eldest brother in the house?" Patronizing the business of this shop, I haven't seen the boss for several days, and I miss it strangely.
