Chapter 145: Bamboo Sticks
"No, we're not here to buy jewelry, we're asking the boss to help make something." Cai Xiaoxiao explained.
When Cai Xiaoxiao was talking to the shopkeeper, Zhao Kangcheng's eyes were scanning the items in the store, and occasionally when he saw something, he would come forward to look at it carefully.
Cai Xiaoxiao only thought that he was wandering around because he was bored, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and continued to describe the appearance of the silver skewer to the shopkeeper: "It's about ten centimeters long, and if it's thick, it's like a silver needle, and it's not right, it's a little thicker than a silver needle......
When she was describing, the shopkeeper drew Cai Xiaoxiao's description on a piece of paper according to her description: "It's a little thicker than a silver needle...... Do you see if that's the case? ”
Cai Xiaoxiao looked over, then nodded and said, "Yes, it's so rough...... But the tip should be a little sharper, but not too sharp, otherwise it will easily hurt people, as long as it can penetrate the flesh. ”
"Don't be too sharp, but be able to penetrate the flesh...... It still needs to be very sharp......" the shopkeeper said helplessly.
"Forehead ......" Cai Xiaoxiao thought about the modern silver skewer and found that it was really like this...... In fact, no matter what kind of skewer is made, it can hurt people, right? If you have the heart......
Helpless, Cai Xiaoxiao had no choice but to say: "Boss, just do your best." Anyway, when the time comes, she will make some rules, as long as she makes sure that if something happens, customers won't come to their store.
"Okay then." The shopkeeper nodded, then asked, "Is there anything else you need?" ”
Cai Xiaoxiao shook his head and said, "No, boss, just help me build a hundred of these, the price is fine, it's just a little urgent, can you give it to me tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?" ”
"Yes, no problem, you can probably come over tomorrow afternoon to get it." The shopkeeper said.
"Thank you then. This is the deposit. Cai Xiaoxiao took out a silver ingot and put it on the counter, "Is it okay for me to pay the rest of the silver when I come over tomorrow?" ”
"Absolutely." The shopkeeper smiled.
Cai Xiaoxiao nodded to the shopkeeper, and then shouted to Zhao Kangcheng, who was standing in front of the counter and didn't know what he was looking at: "Xianggong, it's okay, let's go." ”
"Hmm." Zhao Kangcheng retracted his gaze and walked towards Cai Xiaoxiao.
The two left the jewelry store, and Cai Xiaoxiao said that he was going to find Zheng Yi to borrow manpower, so the two went to Zheng's house again.
This time, the two didn't go in, they just called Zheng Yi out of the door, after all, they just talked for a while.
Zheng Yi walked out, looked at the two of them, and asked, "What's wrong?" Can I help you? You have to call me out. ”
"I'll borrow two from you." Cai Xiaoxiao said.
"Borrow?" Zheng Yi looked at her confusedly, "Who to borrow?" ”
"Two janitors, four entertaining guests, a total of six people, as for the salary, it is up to you Zheng Shao." Cai Xiaoxiao bent her eyes and smiled.
"Huh? Is it for the new store? A new store is about to open? Zheng Yi asked.
"Well, it's probably just these two days." Cai nodded slightly.
"That's no problem, I'm out, six people, right, are there any requirements for men and women?" Zheng Yi asked her.
"Four men and two women, the gatekeeper should be dignified, otherwise it will not be good if you encounter troublesome guests." Cai Xiaoxiao said.
"I know, I'll send someone to you tomorrow."
"Thank you very much."
After finishing speaking, Cai Xiaoxiao and Zhao Kangcheng left.
When she returned home in the evening, Cai Xiaoxiao took Zhao Kangcheng, Zhang Mu and Li Yuan to cut wild bamboo in a bamboo forest behind the village, saying that she was going to make bamboo sticks, and Zhao Kangcheng asked her: "Haven't you already ordered silver sticks?" ”
"That's for skewering meat, and this bamboo skewer is for skewering vegetables, so you have to distinguish them to make money." Cai Xiaoxiao explained.
The proprietress said so, and they could only chop the bamboo obediently, Cai Xiaoxiao smiled and waved her hand to them, and said, "Then, I'm going to make dinner, come on." ”
"Come on? What is that? The three people who didn't understand this term looked at Cai Xiaoxiao's departing back with a confused expression, and then looked at each other again, so they had to shrug their shoulders helplessly.
In order to make bamboo sticks, several people were busy all night and finally made a hundred bamboo sticks, but Cai Xiaoxiao said that these were not enough, and another hundred needed to be made tomorrow.
Hearing her words, Zhang Mu and Li Yuan immediately lay on the table, with a look of lovelessness, Cai Xiaoxiao saw it, and said suspiciously: "What's wrong?" It's just a bamboo skewer, it's very simple, it's much simpler than you do carpentry. ”
"But it's all fine work...... Zhang Mu said listlessly, "it has to be smooth, and there can't be burrs or anything...... My eyes are so tired......"
"Uh...... Hehe......" Cai Xiaoxiao smiled awkwardly, "Then, in order to reward you for your hard work, I'll make you supper, right?" ”
"Okay!" Hearing that there was a supper, several people were immediately excited.
When eating supper, Cai Xiaoxiao said to Zhang Mu and Li Yuan that he would go to the store with them tomorrow to help, and the two nodded and agreed.
Cai Xiaoxiao said: "Actually, it should be said that the two of you will be considered to be officially working from tomorrow, you have to remember the day, and I will calculate your salary after thirty days, otherwise I will always forget." ”
"Got it, sister-in-law." The two nodded in response.
The next morning, after the four of them met at Zhang Mu and Li Yuan's house, Zhao Kangcheng handed over the ox cart to Zhang Mu and Li Yuan, and he and Cai Xiaoxiao sat in a car.
After arriving in the town, they said hello to Zhao Wu and the three of them, and the four of them went directly to the new store, when they saw the appearance of the new store, Zhang Mu and Li Yuan exclaimed, thinking that they would have to work in this building in the future, and both of them felt excited.
After opening the door of the store, several people first cleaned the upstairs and downstairs, and then Cai Xiaoxiao came to the kitchen to check the base soup made yesterday, and saw that in addition to the clear soup or liquid, the spicy soup was almost in a semi-fixed state.
Cai Xiaoxiao nodded with satisfaction, then put the lid on, lit the stove, and prepared to boil chicken soup - rich chicken soup can also be used as a base for hot pot.
After boiling the chicken soup, Cai Xiaoxiao asked Zhao Kangcheng to stay in the store to help take care of the chicken soup, while she and Zhang Mu and Li Yuan went to buy ingredients to prepare for tomorrow.
Because there will be a lot of ingredients to buy, the three of them went by car.
Although I had to buy a lot, I didn't buy too much, Cai Xiaoxiao only bought two days' worth of portions, after all, if I bought too much and couldn't save it, the freshness of the ingredients would disappear.
After buying the ingredients, the three of them came back, and just happened to bump into Zheng Yi who sent people over, and several people met in front of the door, Zheng Yi saw Zhang Mu and Li Yuan, and asked suspiciously: "Huh?" Why are they here? ”
