Before dawn the next day, Li got up from bed early.

Ma Li put on her clothes and covered the quilt for the two children sleeping next to her, Li opened the curtain on the side, carefully looked at Zhao Mingteng, who was sleeping soundly, and made sure that there was nothing wrong before going out.

No way, Zhao Mingteng is too young, only four years old this year, even if there is still the concept of a seven-year-old different seat for men and women at this time, the Li family is not worried about letting Zhao Mingteng sleep alone.

As a last resort, Li set up a simple curtain in the main room, set up two wooden beds, directly separated the two sides, and took care of the three children to the greatest extent.

The well water in the yard was washed clean, Li wiped his hands, and turned into the kitchen.

Take out the pork ribs and pork belly that I bought last night, use a kitchen knife to chop them simply, put half of them into a clay pot next to them and boil them on the fire, and pour half of them into an iron pot and stir-fry.

Remembering the necessary steps of braised pork that Zhao Yu said, when Li Shi made it, whether he added soy sauce or sugar, oil and other seasonings, he put it enough.

Then take out some flour, pour in two bowls of cereals, half scoop water and stir evenly into a batter, Li patted it with his hand, followed by sticking it on the edge of the iron pot into a cake, and finally covered the lid and waited for the last out of the pot.

And at this time, there was movement outside the door.

Zhao Yu rubbed his eyes and took Zhao Xia and Zhao Mingteng out of the house.

Because the kitchen in the backyard was adjacent to their residence, the smell of roast meat from the kitchen wafted into the tips of the three people's noses.

Zhao Xia sniffed violently, followed her eyes to light up, and ran to the kitchen, before Li could react, she directly grabbed the spatula in Li's hand, picked up the seasoning that had not had time to put it back on the side, and heroically lifted the lid, and the exposed braised pork poked and made up for it, and then she was satisfied with the lid and ran out to wash.

Lee's ......

The corners of Li's mouth twitched, looking at Wuya, who had already run away, and said in his heart that he didn't know who this child was with, but he was interested in cooking.

If she hadn't gotten up early today, I'm afraid she would have snatched her breakfast today.

On the other hand, Zhao Yu excitedly took out the 3.0 version of the ultimate toothbrush made from the fur on the little piglet's body little by little and brushed his teeth, with a homemade toothpaste with mint, which was much better than the one bought from the daily shop.

"Erya, the people from Yaxing will come over in a while, and when you come, take a look," Li Shi saw Zhao Yu coming over, and hurriedly said his thoughts, "When the time comes, you can also put people in the food shop first to adapt to it, and then you can go to the sweet shop and work in a hurry." ”

In terms of hiring people, Li thinks much more than Zhao Yu, especially the sweet shop opened by Zhao Yu, which does fine work, and what is needed is a careful person, and the frizzy one can't be done.

Zhao Yu agreed with Li's suggestion, she thought it was good, and by the way, she could also do some pre-job training for the people she hired, "Well, when the time comes, I will give some pointers, it is best to go to the sweet shop to get started directly, and then I can also make time to study new desserts." ”

It is impossible for his own sweets shop to really rely on so many cakes, Zhao Yu still wants to take advantage of the time to quickly make all kinds of pastries in his head, and then seize the surrounding markets.

With the previous sign of selling fish balls in Changle County, Zhao Yu would not treat the other people here as fools, after all, these small cakes are not very difficult to make if they are willing to spend time researching.

"Don't be so anxious, you still have to fight steadily first," Li Shi has a different opinion on this, "If the speed is too fast, the family can't help you, and you can't do it yourself," especially Zhao Yu is too young, only nine years old, at most he is a little adult, even if he comes out to take charge alone, others will unconsciously see clearly.

Of course, if you don't look at her age, but look at Zhao Yu's thoughts, compared with other babies in the village, it's really nothing, sensible and smart, and she doesn't need to worry about it at all.

Thinking of this, the Li family couldn't help but sigh, she was worthy of being her Li's granddaughter, just like her!

…………

The food shop that Li plans to open is still the one that has been sold in Changle County before.

For example, some cakes such as pancakes, as well as some breakfast dishes such as fried dough sticks and tea eggs, or grilled foods such as lo-mei, roast chicken, and roast duck are also on the list.

Of course, at the moment, because of Zhao Yu, the menu of the snack shop has added cold skin and cold noodles.

And hot and sour noodles, spicy hot, hot pot are also essential options.

Thinking about it this way, their snack shop is really full of food.

Especially for these foods, Li Shi did not wander around, and after making sure that what he made was unique, Li Shi and his bold company opened up the first and second floors of the shop together, completely doubling the size of their own food shop.

At the same time, the Li family was faintly excited in his heart, and even imagined that the food shop would open all over the southern court.

To some extent, it can be said that Li's ambitions are no less than Zhao Yu's.

Li Shi runs a food shop, and in simple terms, she sells three meals a day, and she will sell them whenever a customer comes.

And because there are many kinds of food and many miscellaneous foods, Li has not less customized various tools from the blacksmith shop.

From pots and pans to all kinds of baking tools.

Calculated in a fraction of the total, it is far more than when I was in Changle County.

Therefore, in order to facilitate the opening of tomorrow, the Li family took advantage of the fact that the tooth store had not yet come, and began to take Zhao Yu and the three of them to clean up first.

Put the same function aside, different separates, anyway, try to save space while putting down all the tools.

The plan that Li had made in his heart was completed in the same way.

The time has just arrived.

The man from the tooth shop came on time.

With more than a dozen people behind him, he walked in from outside the door enthusiastically.

Li was carrying a stool at this time, and when he saw someone coming, he was busy wiping his hands, beckoning someone to sit down, and at the same time asked Zhao Yu, who was busy in the kitchen, to come out quickly.

Zhao Yu was also clever, and did not run out empty-handed, but took some peanuts and melon seeds fried at home, took a small plate, and put them in front of the person in Yaxing seriously.

"I'm sorry to eat and rest, I'm sorry, it's going to open tomorrow, the shop hasn't been cleaned up, and it's messy everywhere," Li said with a smile, talking to the other party.

Of course, out of the corner of his eye, he didn't forget to look at the more than ten people behind the person.

These people were old and young, most of them were women, and Li only glanced at them hurriedly, but did not look closely.

However, Zhao Yu, who was standing behind her, looked at it seriously.

In addition, she was a child, and the people in the tooth shop were only curious and didn't say anything.

"Hey, shopkeeper Li, what you said is polite, I brought you all the candidates, you can take a look, if you think it's good, then I can count myself as having completed the task," the people in Yaxing had other work behind them, and there was no time to waste here, so they simply entered the negotiation stage.

When Li Shi looked at this, where could he not understand.

She is also neat, and simply talked about her selection criteria, "Both men and women can be, as long as they are diligent and willing to work,"

Li smiled and pointed to the upper and lower floors of the shop, "The shop will open tomorrow, and there won't be too many people, and when the shop is really good, I'm afraid I'll trouble you then." ”

"Hey, Shopkeeper Li, you're a little humble in what you say," the man waved his hand, smiling brightly, "Your shop is in this area, but it's hard to get angry." ”

"Where, the shops next door are also powerful, we came here to beg for a living, just to be stable," In the past two days, the Li family has been close to the shopkeepers around him.

Not to mention, even if he knows a few good shopkeepers, he has initially integrated into this place, which also makes the Li family feel a lot more at ease.

Most of the shops on the main street are two- and three-story buildings, with uniform blue bricks and stone tiles.

There are many shops, such as food shops, restaurants, grocery stores, rice grain shops, inns, cloth villages, pastry shops, etc.

Fortunately, there is a conflict with the Li family, they are all a little far away from here, and they can't be touched if they don't move around on weekdays, otherwise, it won't be so smooth.

Now that we're talking about it, the next step is to start selecting people.

The people of the tooth shop simply stepped forward and introduced them to the Li family one by one.

I also want to mention here that the introduction of the dental store is relatively simple, only the age address, and the rest need to be asked by Li himself.

After listening to it for a while, Li Shi pointed out a few women who looked good, and asked a few words seriously.

Then, after thinking for a while, five women and two and a half young men were left behind.

At this moment, there were nearly half fewer people, and the team looked a lot more relaxed.

The person in the tooth line was happy, and his heart said that according to this number, his commission today can be at least one hundred and ten dollars, hey, he made it.

As a result, he was not happy yet, and Zhao Yu also had to choose someone.

Zhao Yu?

A little girl?

Yaxing was a little confused, Ma glanced at Li, and said in his heart that he was not joking?

Li smiled, and whispered a few words to the person in the tooth shop, and after the other party was sure that it was not a joke, the person in the tooth shop was also relieved, and waved his hand to let him choose.

Zhao Yu stepped forward, and quickly picked out all the things he had just looked at, a total of five people, all of whom were not very old, all of them were half-grown little girls.

He, the people in the tooth line laughed, although the half-grown girl has a small commission, but it is also a silver coin!

The next step was much simpler, the people from the tooth shop signed with the Li family, and the deal was directly closed.

By the way, the man in the tooth line did not forget to quietly remind Yikou of the wage range here, and he also saw that the big customer in front of him was afraid that he had just come to the south and was not very familiar with this aspect.

So he simply reciprocated, and by the way, he also brushed the other party's favor.

Satisfied, with the commission he earned from this transaction, the people of the tooth shop left with the rest of the people who were not chosen.

The remaining twelve people who were selected all stayed.

Zhao Yu whispered to the Li family and took the five people he chose to the backyard, while the Li family stayed behind to talk to the seven people he chose.

The discussion was very simple, it was about the issue of wages and treatment between them.

Because there were people in the tooth shop who specially reminded them before, and Li himself inquired from the surroundings, the wages finally set for the seven people were all at a high average level in Qingping County.

Five women are paid one or two or five hundred dollars a month, and two young men are paid three hundred dollars a month.

Of course, this salary, Li did not say dead, because if the shop is very busy in the future, everyone may work harder, and she will also add some wages to everyone appropriately, if the shop business does not succeed and does not meet psychological expectations, then the corresponding salary will also be reduced.

However, the possibility of the latter is too small, and Li is not too worried.

It was decided that tomorrow morning, after the seven people were going to rush to the shop before the hour, Li took the seven people to the back kitchen, and by the way, simply told them what they needed to do tomorrow.

In the end, they are not familiar with it, Li is also worried about the character of these people, afraid that they will run away directly after learning their own food, Li does not have the core practice to give them, but according to the general character ability of each person, they are divided into two groups, and they are arranged to be responsible for entertaining guests, serving food, and running the hall, and the remaining one goes to the counter to collect the accounts.

Of course, Zhao Yu also gave Li a wake-up call when it came to collecting debts.

I was afraid that there would be messy accounts at that time, so they directly used bamboo wooden sticks to write lists, in triplicate, one for the counter, one for the guests, and one for the back kitchen, which was convenient for the Li family to reconcile, and there was no need to worry about the person collecting the money from the account.

"As for the rest, I'll wait for you to come over tomorrow, right now, it's nothing, you can go back first," Li Shi brought people to the door, his expression was rare serious, "In addition, I will first say unpleasant things in front here, as the shopkeeper, as you promise, as long as you don't cheat, the money I send you here must be enough, but if someone is not honest and does that kind of misdeeds under my nose, I will not deliberately care about face, and then directly send it to the county government,"

"At that point, don't blame me for being ruthless." After all, when it comes to eating in the shop, some of them are secret recipes, and the Li family has to guard against them.

When everyone heard this, they were all stunned, and regardless of whether they were sincere or false, they all nodded indiscriminately and said that they didn't dare.

In short, the attitude was very respectful, and it also made the Li family who peeked at them very satisfied.

Adhering to the principle of beating a stick and giving a sweet date, after saying the unpleasant words, Li said warm words again.

After praising everyone appropriately, Li followed Zhao Xia in the back kitchen to send the pickled eggs she had prepared a long time ago, and sent them to the seven people, "Quickly accept it, it's not a valuable good thing, it's just a meal made at home in your spare time, take it back and give it to the family to try." ”

Among the seven people, there is an organic spirit, and after collecting the pickled eggs, he quickly took the opportunity to show his loyalty, "Thank you to the shopkeeper, I will definitely live up to the expectations of the shopkeeper, and I will work hard in the future, and I will never cheat and play tricks." ”

"Yes, yes, shopkeeper, I must work hard,"

"Never give the shopkeeper a troublesome ......"

When the others heard this, they hurriedly said some good things.

Li nodded with satisfaction, and then politely sent the person out of the shop.

After seeing the seven people leave, Li turned around and came back, the corners of his mouth widened in a big arc, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
