The house has not been so lively for a long time. Most of the Xu family members are gone, and some of them are overseas. Her natal family has long since cut off contact with them, and even if someone comes to visit, she doesn't want to acknowledge them.
Even though we are related by blood, in fact, everything we encounter is worse than that of outsiders.
Outsiders may be wary of trying to hurt you. When people who are related to you hurt you, they have no scruples at all and it hurts you the most.
Dabao and Erbao got tired after playing for a while, drank water, closed their eyes and fell asleep.
Pei Yu and Li Yuan were still holding each other, unwilling to let go. Sanbao also fell asleep. Wang Yunli was afraid that Qin Shuangshuang would get tired after holding him for a long time, so she took over and hugged him.
Zhang Dewen smoked, but Shen Chenming did not dare to hold the child, fearing that the child would be suffocated by the smell of his cigarettes, but was too embarrassed to say so.
The meal was not finished until four o'clock in the afternoon. Drinking and chatting was really a waste of food, so Aunt Xu had to cook it three times before it was enough.
Seeing that the child was asleep, Aunt Xu took out her account book and bankbook and walked to Wang Yunli and Qin Shuangshuang.
"The store has been open for such a long time, and now that the Chinese New Year is about to come, let's do some calculations! This is the account book. Everything bought, sold, and the rest are recorded on it every day.
I remember how much I spent on the original decoration. Let's take a look. "
Wang Yunli refused to read it and pushed it to Qin Shuangshuang: "This kind of thing bothers me the most, so you should read it! I get a headache when I read the account. Uncle Xu also wanted to read it to me last time. I read a few pages, and the more I read, the more confused I became."
Qin Shuangshuang took the account book and opened it night after night. It had to be said that Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu were really honest, and they clearly wrote down any extra leftovers.
How many days did it take to use a bottle of soy sauce, how many days did it take to use a ten-pound bucket of oil, and why it was used faster this time than last time. I remember everything clearly.
She laughed while watching, feeling that these two couples were so real.
"Auntie! Did you keep this account or did your uncle keep it?"
Aunt Xu smiled and replied: "I said most of it was written by your uncle. My handwriting is not good-looking, and I have forgotten how to write some words."
Qin Shuangshuang praised her: "Then you have a really good memory. You can clearly write down how much you bought every day, how much you used, and how much you left."
"Yes, I have always had a good memory." Aunt Xu was not modest and accepted Qin Shuangshuang's compliment, "You two girls are young, I'm afraid you won't understand if I don't write clearly.
Besides, you trust me and your uncle so much and don’t guard against anything. We just open the store when we say it will. Your uncle and I can’t trick you, can we?
This store! It's your uncle's wish. Since he opened the restaurant, his energy has improved a lot and he is no longer silent all day long. Did you see it? After drinking too much, my teeth were exposed. "
Wang Yunli and Qin Shuangshuang looked over, and it was true that Mr. Shen was talking about something. Grandpa Qin and Uncle Xu listened attentively, laughing so hard that they couldn't close their mouths.
Wang Yunli sighed: "It's rare to see Uncle Xu smile so happily, Shuangshuang! You are the big contributor today."
Qin Shuangshuang glanced at her, stood up, looked at the kitchen, and made a suggestion: "Auntie! There are always leftovers when holding a restaurant party. Let's calculate the money on the account and take your wages. , let’s buy some equipment for the rest!”
Wang Yunli followed with the sleeping Sanbao in her arms and expressed her position: "I have no objection. I will buy whatever Shuangshuang says."
Aunt Xu glanced at Qin Shuangshuang approvingly: "If you don't tell me, I have to mention that we lack a large refrigerator in the kitchen. When the weather gets hot next year, your Uncle Xu and I will buy one.
With a refrigerator, you don’t have to worry about some meat and vegetables being left over. Of course, we don’t buy too many ingredients blindly. We basically buy them as planned so that our customers eat fresh food. "
"Yes, I'm talking about the refrigerator." Qin Shuangshuang looked at the various vegetables piled on the chopping board, "It would be much more convenient to have a refrigerator.
If the store is too busy, you have to find someone if you need to. Don’t do everything yourself. My uncle and aunt are old and can't cause any trouble just to earn a little money. "
Wang Yunli immediately agreed: "Shuangshuang is right. The store is indeed very busy when it gets busy. You can't do everything yourself. Hire someone to wash the vegetables, dishes and clean!"
Aunt Xu nodded slightly, with a pleased smile on her face: "Okay, then it will be easier for you and me, Uncle Xu, from now on. Having someone to help with chores will make things easier when serving guests.
By the way, both! The marinade you made is very good. Can you get some to sell in the store? Wu Hailiang bought a lot of them last time and said that you taught others how to make them. "
"That's simple. I'll go back and talk to Sister-in-law Wu. She will come to Haicheng every two or three days to buy goods. Whatever we need in the store and how much we need, just tell her and let her deliver it. "
Aunt Xu hesitated for a moment: "Can't we do it ourselves?"
"Of course I can, but I'm tired." Qin Shuangshuang explained his understanding, "Look! The main products sold in the marinade are pig scalps and pig ears, but those things are very troublesome to deal with.
It has to be cleaned, soaked in water, hair removed, and the hair that cannot be removed must be burned, and a lot of other things need to be done. It's okay to stew a pot once in a while, but it's not cost-effective to do it for a long time.
Let her deliver it, and we have the right to choose. What we need, how much to deliver, and when to deliver it all have to be according to our reservation. Now that the market has really opened up, I will consider whether to do it myself. "
After hearing what Qin Shuangshuang said, Wang Yunli also added a few words: "Our restaurant follows the Haicheng local cuisine route. Does the marinade not match the style of our restaurant? Uncle Xu is a chef, so he can make it. Sauce?"
Aunt Xu thought about it and felt that it was right: "I was wrong, so let's do as Shuangshuang said, let's order the marinade. I think the kelp shreds are good, I will give some to each table before serving, so that the guests can taste it. fresh.
The pig ears are also good. Bring some to sell. If there are sales, I will book with them in the future. "
Qin Shuangshuang nodded: "Okay, I'll go back and tell Sister-in-law Wu tonight and ask her to come to you. If you need anything, just tell her and ask her to bring it to you. I have to do everything by myself, it's too tiring and hard."
There are no cut kelp shredded products for sale at the moment. If you want to make kelp shreds, you have to buy dried kelp and soak it.
After soaking, you have to wash it and cut it into shreds. This is what Wu Yingying and He Xiaojuan did.
There is no way, if we don’t do this, there will be no kelp silk to sell, and if we don’t, we will lose an income.
I don’t know how many people like to buy cold kelp shreds. Kelp is a seafood product. Even if it is not as good as other sea fish and shrimps, it still has the word "sea" in it.
People just love to buy it. Among the cold dishes, kelp shreds are the most sold.
Wu Yingying and He Xiaojuan are coming to Haicheng to purchase goods anyway, so it is not impossible to send some stewed vegetables to the restaurant. If sales increase in the future, their business will be more stable.
They have money to earn, and they can earn some themselves, so why not?
Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu are really old, so there is no need to work too hard.
