142 Chapter 142 Recruitment
âYouâre not considering selling bones in such a big restaurant, are you? Thatâs not going to attract high-end customers.â Manager Liu said, shaking his head.
Iâm not in the business of bones but of beef and mutton. But Iâm worried there wonât be enough sheep for sale in my village, so I can only take some from you.â
âI see, thatâs great. Iâll come and see what kind of restaurant you are opening soon.â
âOf course, youâre welcome. The 28th is a good day, three days later. You must come and support us when it opens.â
âDonât worry; I will. Then I will leave the bones for you from the day after tomorrow.â
âDeal. The mutton is 25 coppers per pound and 10 coppers for the bones. What do you think? â
âNo need, just five coppers will do. If you donât want it, we usually clean it and feed it to the dogs.
âThen you better not regret it when my business is doing well.â laughed Zhou Ying.
âDonât worry, I wonât regret it.â
âAlright, thank you, Uncle Liu.
âBy the way, why donât you go over there for dinner tonight? You can also try the taste of the lamb bones.â
âNo, Iâll wait until your opening. I have an important guest coming over tonight.â
âAlright, Iâll be going back then.â After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she turned around and returned to her own restaurant.
Then, she gave Zhao Cheng the recipe for making the lamb spine hotpot. âFrom now on, Iâll leave the lamb spine hotpot and lamb bone soup to you. As for the herbal cuisine, weâll decide the menu and make it after weâve decided.â
âUnderstood. Iâll go and prepare now.â
âAlright. Weâll be eating lamb spine hotpot tonight then.â Zhou Ying returned to the main house and saw Gu Chengrui reading a book. She paused and asked, âArenât you supposed to be busy over there?â
âNot really. The main thing happening over there is the renovation, so thereâs no need to keep a close eye on it.â Gu Chengrui pulled her into his arms and kissed her on the cheek. âItâs been hard on you. Why donât we hire another manager to help support the front, and you can command from behind?
âBesides, there are some things that need to be done by you personally, and you might not be able to handle them.â
âSure, but finding a suitable manager is not easy.â
âIf we put up a notice, those interested will keep an eye on it. At that time, weâll just ask around about his character.
âOh right, there are also the waiters, as three is not enough. We need at least six, or else we wonât be able to handle it.â
âAlright, you should write a notice, and weâll put it up later.â Zhou Ying decided and took out the stationeries from her interspace.
Gu Chengrui immediately got up and started to prepare.
At that time, Zhou Ying added, âBy the way, we also need to add people in the kitchen. Find two to do odd jobs and two to wash the dishes.â
âAlright, thereâs quite a number of people we still need.â Gu Chengrui sighed.
Then, he bent over and started writing the notice.
While he was doing that, Zhou Ying designed the waistcoat and outfit for the restaurant staff. It could unify their clothing and keep them sanitary, especially with a cooking hat. It would be troublesome if any hair fell into the pot.
People came to the door in the afternoon, not long after the notice was put up. The additional kitchen helper and dishwasher positions were quickly taken by four strong women.
As for the waiters, Zhou Ying had picked those who were literate. Otherwise, they wouldnât even know how to write down customer orders.
They didnât expect to recruit four at a time, and two were originally this Dongxing Restaurantâs employees.
Zhou Ying hesitated for a moment before accepting them, but she still warned, âThis isnât the original Dongxing Restaurant, and weâre not doing what we did before. If you want to work here, then do it well. Otherwise, please donât blame me for firing you when the time comes.
âDonât worry, boss; we understand this, and we will definitely do our best.â
âOkay. You only have one chance. Cherish it.â
