Chapter Eighty-Three: Harmony Makes Money
Wang Lei couldn't hold his face, so he was so angry that he brushed his sleeves away.
Liu Tian distributed the money divided into several parts, and said with a smile, "In the past few days, I have worked hard for everyone, and now the wood is enough, everyone will go back to recuperate first, and I will still find you if there is any work." "
Everyone was happy when they received the money, and one person suddenly spoke, "Shopkeeper, I heard what Boss Wang said, are you really unable to take out the money to reorganize the restaurant?" "
Liu leaned for a moment, then turned around and smiled, "If it is, I will find a way to solve this matter." "
"Shopkeeper, this year's harvest is not bad, there is still a lot of food at home, you can use this money first, and then give it to me when you have enough money, I am not in a hurry to use it," Xiao Zhao handed the money he had just arrived to Liu Tian.
Liu Tian frowned, "Take it, how can I borrow your money." "
Hearing Xiao Zhao say this, the few people who got the dividends just now were all vying to lend the money to Liu Tian.
Liu Tian's eyes were red, and he glared back at a few of them, "What are you all doing, take it for me, Boss Lin, your children have to enter the school in the autumn this year, what do you use for your husband as tuition, and you, Second Brother Wang, your daughter-in-law broke her leg when she was not working in the field, and she still needs medicine, where you have spare money in your hands, give me back." "
After listening to Liu Tian's words, several people were silent, hateful, he didn't have a family fortune that could help others, and his own family was still stretched, let alone helping others.
Although there is timber, but to hire workers, as well as the money for various materials, pile by pile, carefully calculated is a lot of money, although the timber business makes some money, but after all, it is still a drop in the bucket, far from enough.
Liu Tian sat alone in front of the window, and stayed up until he was ugly, and then he fell asleep, and went to bed and fell asleep.
When she slept until Yin, she heard the dinging sound outside, she lifted the quilt, got out of bed, pushed open the window and looked, only to see a group of people coming to the door of the restaurant, all with things in their hands, lifting wood, sawing wood, and doing it in full swing.
She didn't care about freshening up, hurriedly went downstairs, and saw familiar faces, "You guys are ......"
"A few of us went back to discuss, although we don't have spare money in our hands, but we still have the strength to do it, and we can't go to sea at the moment, everyone is idle at home, so I want to help do some work, the shopkeeper can rest assured, these few, are all carpenters, the work in the hands has a reputation, these are masons, but also a top craftsmanship, with them, the repair of this restaurant, there must be no problem, you can rest assured."
Liu Tian's eyes reddened, "Why bother you," she saw some brand-new black tiles on the ground, "You also paid for this?" "
A few people nodded, smiled at Liu Tian innocently, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth, "We are not like Second Brother Wang and Boss Lin, and now is not the time to use money, so we took out part of the dividends, and a few people put it together, just enough to buy these." "
Liu Qian thought about it and secretly dragged Lao Zhao aside, "Lao Zhao, the wages of these workers must be very expensive." "
She seemed to remember that a carpenter's salary for a day was a penny.
"Shopkeeper, don't worry, they all admire the shopkeeper's benevolence and righteousness, and they come to help themselves, don't need to be paid, just give them some water to drink."
Liu Qian looked at the shady place next to him, pointed to the packages and said, "These are yours?" "
Lao Zhao nodded, "Well, we all brought our own dry food, just make do with one meal at noon, and go back to eat at night, they are all Zhuang people, when they don't work, they don't eat lunch, just two meals a day, so just eat at noon." "
Liu Tian looked serious, "How can this work, you came to work for me for nothing, and let you bring your own food." "
"Shopkeeper, you will see us outside," Lao Zhao rubbed his hands, "My Lao Zhao has lived most of his life, and he has done all kinds of work, but he has never seen such a good master as you, or he is beaten and scolded, and he has never treated us as human beings. "
"You deserve it."
Liu Tian looked at the honest and honest Lao Zhao, and was speechless in his warm heart, although this group of fishermen has no culture and lives poorly, but they have a kind heart, even if their lives are unsatisfactory, they will still do their best to help others, this kind of simplicity is really rare in those who are dressed in silk and satin.
The workers outside were very energetic, Lao Zhao glanced at it and scratched his head embarrassedly, "Shopkeeper, it's nothing, I'll go over and work first." "
Liu Tian nodded, "Thank you so much, Lao Zhao, thank you and these brothers." "
's words made the honest old Zhao Er's roots red.
Liu Tian knew that he couldn't help much, so he went to the kitchen to cook a pot of mung bean soup, divided it into small bowls, and brought it out to relieve the heat for everyone who was working.
Shuang'er held the bowl and beckoned everyone, "Big brothers, take a break and drink mung bean soup to relieve the heat." "
A few people who were working put down the things in their hands, ran over with the bowl, squatted at the base of the wall and poured a big bowl of mung bean soup.
At noon, Liu Tian made two tables of dishes by himself, wiped his hands and called the people who were still working outside, "Big brothers and uncles, come over for lunch, rest for a while." "
A few people were reluctant to go in, so they excused themselves and said, "No need, shopkeeper, we brought our own dry food." "
Liu Tian saw the black-faced steamed buns in their hands, and thought of the physical work they were doing, and persuaded, "Come in and eat vegetables, do so much work, how can you do things without eating more." "
Liu Qian persuaded Lao Zhao, and Lao Zhao blushed and said, "We are here to help, knowing that you don't have any money in your hand, just eat some by yourself and deal with the past, no need to stir-fry." "
Shuang'er had already served the dishes on the table inside, and the hot dishes that had just come out of the pot were full of fragrance, and they kept drilling into people's noses, and several people swallowed a mouthful of saliva and took a bite of the black-flour steamed bun in their hands.
"Brothers, the meals have been prepared, wouldn't it be a waste if you don't eat them, now on a hot day, the food can't be put in the first place, and you can only pour it in the afternoon."
Lao Zhao looked reproachful, "Shopkeeper, didn't I tell you, the brothers all bring their own food, what are you doing with all those things?" "
"Big brothers and uncles come to work, they originally opened a restaurant, how can you not let the brothers go hungry, come in quickly, big brothers and uncles, you can't waste it in vain."
Lao Zhao instructed, "Don't do it again next time", while beckoning the brothers to come in.
Although they hadn't tasted it in person, they had also heard of the reputation of Liujia Restaurant, looking at the colorful and fragrant meals on the table, and then looking at the black steamed buns in their hands, they suddenly wanted to throw the black steamed buns out.
"There are nothing good to entertain everyone, just some seasonal side dishes, and everyone will eat them."
Liu Tian beckoned everyone to sit down quickly, Shuang'er took out the steamed buns with white flowers that had just come out of the pot from the back kitchen and put them on the table, everyone smelled the fragrance and reached out to take it, their eyes were glowing green, like a wolf who had been hungry for several years.
Lao Zhao scolded, "Be disciplined." "
The claws that everyone had just stretched out were released again, and a few black finger prints were printed on the white steamed buns, and everyone saw the contrasting finger prints, and the boss blushed with embarrassment.
"It's okay, it's okay, Lao Zhao, don't let everyone be detained, let everyone eat, if it's not enough, there is still a kitchen, and you can't let everyone work hungry."
Hearing Liu Tian's words, everyone stretched out their hands to the steamed buns again and devoured them one by one.
On the table are some home-cooked dishes, mapo tofu, stir-fried bean sprouts, stir-fried meat with beans, mixed lotus root, spicy fried clams, tomato and egg soup, everyone eats with relish, and the whole dish is still unfinished.
Lao Zhao smacked his lips and patted his stomach with satisfaction, he had just eaten four fist-sized white flour steamed buns.
"Shopkeeper, if my mother-in-law has your skills and can make these simple dishes so delicious, I will definitely be able to gain weight again."
"Can your mother-in-law's craftsmanship be compared with that of the shopkeeper Liu, the shopkeeper of Liu specializes in opening a restaurant, and your mother-in-law has this kind of craftsmanship, so she can open a restaurant directly."
Liu Qian pursed her lips and smiled, "If Sister-in-law Zhao is willing, I can teach her two hands, there are some simple dishes on the left and right, and it is not difficult to learn." "
"This is not a success, I just said it in passing, the shopkeeper can't help it, this is your own skill in opening a restaurant, how can she learn," Lao Zhao shook his head resolutely, disagreeing.
"Lao Zhao, I'm still afraid that Sister-in-law Zhao won't be able to steal business with me?" Liu tilted the corner of his mouth with a smile and joked, "Even if you want to open a restaurant in the village, I'm afraid no one will go there, and the people in the village are used to eating at home, so why don't you want to spend a few big bucks to eat in the restaurant." "
Lao Zhao pursed his lips and smiled, "As long as I don't delay the shopkeeper's business, I will let the clumsy mother-in-law come over to learn two hands." "
Everyone knows that the eldest sister-in-law of Lao Zhao's family has no talent in cooking, and after marrying Lao Zhao, Lao Zhao lost a lot of weight, and was starved by his daughter-in-law, because his daughter-in-law's craftsmanship was unstable, and sometimes the cooking was unbearable.
Everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, these people are unambiguous when they work, one by one is more active than when they are boiled, every day is Yin Shi came over, Shen Shi only finished work, the restaurant was only four days of work, and it was renovated.
Led by Lao Zhao, the workers who work in the restaurant praise Liu for being tolerant when they meet people, especially the white-flour steamed buns, which really make them comfortable to eat.
Two days ago, the second brother Wang next to Lao Zhao had been gnawing on the hard nest head in his hand, Lao Zhao was a little confused, "Don't eat the white-flour steamed buns on the side of your mouth, and still gnaw on the nest head, are you not used to living a good life or what's wrong?" "
