My Children Are Fierce and Adorable! - Chapter 424
Chapter 424: Hired People
Unexpectedly, Ye Lulu was recruiting for chefs and the monthly salary she offered was high. Wouldn’t it be a waste not to earn such money? Therefore, he didn’t rest and immediately came to Linhe Zhai Xing Lou to try.
This could not be considered betraying his original employer at all. It could not even be considered as jumping ship. It could only be said that it was a coincidence. Therefore, Ye Lulu had nothing to be afraid of. After testing Sanqi’s skills, she hired him.
The hiring was done. Ye Lulu invited the two of them into the building and wrote their letters of appointment.
The letter of appointment clearly stated that the monthly salary was twenty taels. Furthermore, it was twenty taels a month per person. If they were to be dismissed, be it upon the request of the restaurant or the chef, they had to provide a month’s notice in advance so that the restaurant could hire people and the chef could find a new job.
This kind of contract could be said to have never been heard of before. However, apart from being surprised, Sanqi and Master Yuan felt that this contract didn’t do them any harm. Instead, it was mutually beneficial. Therefore, they signed it on the spot.
There was no need to mention Sanqi. Master Yuan’s ancestors were all chefs. She could read and write, so she signed on it as well.
Ye Lulu and the two new chefs signed a contract here. Outside, the recruitment competition had also made everyone happy. At this moment, everyone still felt unsatisfied.
For some reason, some people even refused to leave. They knew that the competition was over, but they were still discussing outside the door.
However, Ye Lulu still had to do business. After that, she didn’t care about anyone else.
She picked up the two contracts and said to the two people in front of her, “Then, from tomorrow onwards, come to the shop to work on time. Remember what’s written in the contract. If you’re late, fifty copper coins will be deducted each time. If you exceed five times a month, the contract will be terminated. The shopkeeper doesn’t have to be responsible or give advance notice. Got it?”
They had seen all the rules when they signed the contract just now and were secretly surprised, but they definitely knew what was going on.
Ye Lulu nodded. “It’s the beginning of the month tomorrow. Your salary will be calculated at the end of the month. Go back today and start work on time tomorrow.”
After the discussion, Master Yuan and Sanqi went back for the time being.
The competition at Linhe Zhai Xing Lou today also stirred up another storm in Yuan City. Many people who came to watch went back to discuss. As expected, there was a wave of advertisements. The business was at its peak for the entire day and the customer flow did not stop.
The next day, Master Yuan came to work on time.
As men and women in this dynasty still had certain differences outside, it was temporarily decided that Master Yuan would take the morning shift and Sanqi would take the night shift.
Therefore, even if Master Yuan came out to work, she would go back in the afternoon.
It had to be said that this time, many people who had originally wanted to criticize Linhe Zhai Xing Lou for hiring a woman as a chef fell silent.
On the first day the new chefs took office, Ye Lulu could not leave. Instead, she had to stay in the kitchen and take care of the new chefs for a few days. At the very least, she had to teach them how to cook some special dishes.
Of course, according to the modern methods, Ye Lulu had prepared some secret seasonings and sauce beforehand. It was impossible for her to tell the chefs the secret recipe.
What she taught were ordinary methods. The key know-how was still in her mind.
In this way, she could hand over the kitchen to the chefs she hired and grasp the lifeblood of the restaurant in her hands. Usually, it would take at least a few days for the restaurant to be on track.
Two days passed like this, and everything progressed smoothly.
On this day, Ye Lulu and Guan Chibei returned to the mountain very early. The sky was not dark yet because they had almost finished teaching Master Sanqi. Although they were not done, Ye Lulu could come back slightly earlier today and hand the kitchen to him.
