Chapter 184 Featured Window
Zhao Yuanzhen thought and recorded.
Record each one that comes to mind.
As a northerner, the first things that come to my mind are steamed buns and porridge.
There is a porridge window, a steamed bun window, a wonton and dumpling window, a rice noodle and rice flour window, a siomai window, a rice roll window, a braised food window, a wine window, a dessert window, and a drink window.
Barbecue window, hot pot window, rice and noodle window, casserole window, noodle window, soy milk and fried dough sticks window, braised pork and braised spareribs window.
Classic Sichuan cuisine window, fried bed window, hot and sour noodle window, malatang window and so on.
It took Zhao Yuanzhen a long time to get all 40 windows together.
The menus for each window are determined according to the different ingredients in different seasons.
Zhao Yuanzhen began to look for the all-round cooks specially trained by Qian Xiaohui and provide them with window training.
There are not many dishes for each window, so it only takes about a week to complete the training and start working.
Zhao Yuanzhen ordered kitchen utensils according to the needs of each window and carefully decorated and arranged each window.
For example, for the window for steamed buns, you can configure more steamers; for the window for stir-frying, you can configure more woks.
All the featured windows had their menus printed and posted with clear price tags, and they all opened on the same day.
The prices are not expensive. In principle, they are designed to improve the lives of employees. We add about 2 cents to the cost.
On the first day of opening, all specialty windows are half price.
Perhaps attracted by the half-price offer, a small number of people are still willing to spend some money to taste the special food.
The staple food usually provided in the canteen is basically two kinds of steamed buns or two kinds of rice.
There is a discount at the special window today, and a meat bun is only 1 cent. I feel like I’m making a profit if I buy it.
The smarter ones bought a lot of buns. This one is the cheapest and costs only 5 cents to eat a full one.
Zhao Yuanzhen went to check it out at noon. The steamed bun shop was the best-selling one. Although the others were also open and sold out, the quantity was really not large, with only about 20 portions at each window.
Fortunately, Zhao Yuanzhen had anticipated this, so when preparing the ingredients, she had already reminded the cooks at each window.
Zhao Yuanzhen looked at the people dining there and wondered how to improve sales at the window.
Lan Ying saw that she was struggling and spoke cautiously from the side.
"Ma'am, how about we give it a try by paying the salary?"
salary?
salary!!!
She suddenly remembered that she had promised to give each person at least one and a half taels of monthly salary, but she was too busy and no one came to remind her.
None of the people who came here to work asked him for their wages.
So, she forgot about this matter, really forgot about it completely.
"Lan Ying, why didn't you tell me earlier? I really forgot. Remember to remind me next time."
"Yes, ma'am."
Lan Ying originally thought that Zhao Yuanzhen had other plans, but who knew that she actually forgot. This was a big mistake.
"Go and call Zhang Yu and a few other shopkeepers to come over to my meeting."
The yard for holding meetings and government affairs had not been completed yet, so everyone went to Zhao Yuanzhen's yard first.
"I called everyone here today to discuss the monthly wages of these people. I was so busy before that I forgot about this matter. Today you all check and start distributing monthly wages to everyone who has worked. From now on, the monthly wages will be distributed on the 1st of each month and on the 2nd."
"Yes, ma'am, I understand. How do we pay them this month? Do we calculate it from the day they arrive, or from when they are assigned tasks?"
The first batch that arrived was idle for a while because it was cold and there was not much work to do.
"It starts from when the work is assigned, otherwise it will be unfair to those who come later."
Those who came first were provided with three meals a day and lodging for free, and they were not asked to do any work. In order to be fair to others, we will just count from the day they started working.
"Yes, ma'am. Will this settlement include all the previous payments?"
This is almost two months' salary.
"Yes, all of them have been paid out, according to the types of work and the registered wages."
"Yes, ma'am."
"Well, calculate it together, and work it out as quickly as possible. Check it several times to make sure you don't make any mistakes. When you're done, come to me and get the money."
"Yes, ma'am."
Zhao Yuanzhen ignored them and asked them to settle the accounts. She went to her warehouse to deposit the silver. There were many people in total, so she deposited the money based on three months' payment, which would be about 3 taels of silver.
I don't know, I was taken aback.
The monthly salary alone costs 2 taels of silver, plus the various grains and ingredients consumed in the canteen, etc., the monthly expenses are around 3.
I feel sorry for the little money she has.
Zhao Yuanzhen and the system exchanged all the silver ingots of 50 taels each into small change, 1 tael each, 5 cents each, and also exchanged them for a lot of copper coins to make up the change.
These loose silver and copper coins were neatly placed in more than 10 large boxes.
Thinking that everyone has received their salary and has money, their wardrobes will have lockable drawers, but they probably haven't bought locks yet, Zhao Yuanzhen bought 1 locks in the mall and put them together so that she can sell them if someone wants to buy them after the salary is paid.
The locks sold in normal grocery stores cost more than 300 wen each. Zhao Yuanzhen bought them through the system at a price of 266 points, which is about 4 wen each. She gave her employees a welfare discount and sold them for 240 wen each. She made 236 wen per lock.
Ten thousand locks can earn more than 2 taels of silver, which is more than one month's salary.
She is really a good boss, so thoughtful and considerate of the safety of her employees.
Zhao Yuanzhen thought happily.
After more than an hour, Zhang Yu came over to deliver the account book, saying that the calculation had been completed.
Zhao Yuanzhen took the account book and compared it with the attendance record and work record. Not finding any mistakes, she asked Zhang Yu to go to the cafeteria to notify everyone to line up after work in the evening to collect their monthly salary.
Just line up outside your yard to receive it.
Zhao Yuanzhen gave the task of selling the locks to Lan Ying. Lan Ying was sweet-spoken and smart, so she felt very relieved to hand the task over to Lan Ying.
She believed that Lan Ying would sell it to her soon.
Zhang Yu assigned several people to go to the cafeteria and ring a gong during dinner to tell everyone that they would go to his wife to collect their monthly wages. From then on, the monthly wages would be distributed on the 2nd of every month, and would be distributed after work in the evening.
Everyone who had just returned from work felt quite tired at first, but when they heard that their wages were about to be paid, they quickly sped up their eating speed, more than twice as fast as usual. After eating, those who had finished their meal quickly ran to the outside of the employer's yard to line up to receive their monthly salary.
The monthly salary is finally going to be paid. No one had said before when it would be paid. I thought such a high monthly salary would be settled at the end of the year, so no one went to Zhao Yuanzhen to ask. After all, there was a notice issued by the court, and no one suspected that Zhao Yuanzhen would lie.
The line soon became a very long one, and was divided into 10 groups in total. The monthly wages were distributed at the same time, and the wages were paid according to the dormitory room numbers.
They lined up in several rows, and each group had two shopkeepers who were responsible for distributing monthly wages.
One is responsible for registering and reading out names, and the other is responsible for distributing monthly wages.
Basically it takes more than one month or about two months.
Everyone received their share of the heavy salary, which was several taels of silver. In my hometown before, I couldn't earn this much money in a year.
Signing up to go north to Yanshan Prefecture and Xiaoshan County was really the right choice. With such a good opportunity, I must work for a few more years while I am still young and strong.
Especially those who came as a family, a family of five, received a total of more than ten taels of monthly salary.
I have never seen so much money in my life.
He always felt uneasy with so much money in his pocket, fearing that he might lose it accidentally. After all, it was not a small amount of money, and if he really lost it accidentally, he would be heartbroken!
In fact, it is not surprising that he would have such an idea, mainly because he was too poor before and had never seen so much money. So now that he suddenly got such a large fortune, he naturally cherished it and was very cautious.
For an ordinary person, such a large amount of silver is undoubtedly a huge sum of money, which can allow them to live a better life. However, it is precisely because of the importance of this money that people are full of worries and fears about its safety.
It was at this time that Lan Ying started selling locks with a few maids.
"I'm selling locks. These are sturdy, newly made iron locks. They're fireproof, theft-proof, and thief-proof. With this lock, you'll never have to worry about losing your monthly salary. There's a discount on locks today. A lock that usually costs 380 coins will only cost 240 coins today. The owner has given me a full 140 off!"
This is 140 Wen cheaper. There are not many of them. If you miss this village, there will be no such store. Come and buy it if you need it."
"Sell the lock, sell the lock."
"You won't be cheated if you buy it. For 240 coins, you can own a very solid lock made of the latest style and the strongest combination of copper and iron. Come and buy it! Come and see it!"
Those who were worried about losing their wages after receiving them all brightened up when they heard about someone selling locks. It was like a sleepy head finding a pillow.
They all gathered around to buy locks.
Lan Ying generously showed the lock in her hand.
She really wasn't bragging or exaggerating. The locks that the lady brought were truly the strongest locks she had ever seen.
Not only is it made entirely of metal structure, but the complexity of the interlocking system is also incomparable to the previous locks. She has already bought two of them.
Zhangjiazhuang is not my home. Everyone in the family has signed a contract to sell themselves to others. They dare not do anything sneaky.
The people in Zhangjiazhuang have only signed a labor contract. If they fail to take good care of it and lose some valuables such as gold and silver, they will have no place to cry.
