Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

Li Yu has always been cautious when it comes to hiring people, so she didn't give anyone a definite answer.

She planned to consider all factors before making a final decision. However, early in the morning, when Lu Xuan drove his carriage to the entrance of Taiping Street, the carriage was stopped by a group of people. They climbed onto the carriage and shouted at Li Yu inside.

"Boss Li, I can do everything, from washing dishes and sweeping the floor to cutting vegetables and meat. There is nothing I can't do."

"I can do it, too. Besides, my home is close to the store, so I can help look after the store every day."

"I can't cut vegetables, but I know martial arts and can deal with those troublemakers."

It was the first time Han Xiaomei had seen this and she was a little scared for a moment.

Li Yu half-embraced her, patted her on the back, then lifted the car curtain, looked at the people outside and said loudly: "Thank you all for your recognition of our store, but this time it's not just you who came to me, there are others too, I can't lose sight of one while focusing on the other.

So for the sake of fairness, please go home first and come to the barbecue restaurant tomorrow morning. I will see your cooking skills and techniques then."

There was nothing wrong with what she said. Everyone at the scene looked at each other, and finally a middle-aged woman standing next to the carriage said, "Okay, let's go back first. Boss Li, we are the ones who are worried today, don't take it to heart."

Li Yu smiled and said, "You guys are willing to work in my shop because you trust me, so I won't be angry. I have something else to do now, so please make way for me."

The middle-aged woman nodded and asked everyone to step back.

Li Yu smiled at her and let Lu Xuan continue walking forward.

After the car drove for a while, Han Xiaomei patted her chest and said, "Second sister-in-law, they were so scary just now."

Li Yu said: "They also want to find a job."

She could understand their feelings, but she couldn't accept this approach. Fortunately, they came to their senses later.

But looking at the situation today, I’ll have to find a few people to help over there when I recruit tomorrow.

At this time, at the intersection of Taiping Street.

The middle-aged woman who had just spoken to Li Yu felt a little regretful.

Her family was not well off, so she specifically wanted to work in a barbecue restaurant.

She could have gone to other places, but the barbecue restaurant paid more. Although Boss Li didn't say how much, she could tell from the hot pot restaurant. She knew someone who worked at a hot pot restaurant, and the other person's monthly salary was equivalent to what she would have earned in two months elsewhere.

So, in order to get this job, she got up before dawn, stood here waiting, and even stopped Boss Li's car.

At that moment, she was excited and she felt she had hope.

Now that she had regained her senses, she realized that she had made a big mistake.

It would have been fine if she was the only one stopping the car today, but there were other people too. With so many of them, it seemed like they were forcing Boss Li to express his opinion.

Instead, it will leave a very bad impression on her.

Really...the more anxious you are, the more stupid things you do!

The middle-aged woman's heart sank little by little. Finally, she gritted her teeth and decided to look for other work. She probably wouldn't be able to get the job at the barbecue restaurant, but she would go to the barbecue restaurant tomorrow to have a look.

Li Yu didn't know what the middle-aged woman was going through. The next day, the hot pot restaurant closed for a break, so she invited Nanny Tian, ​​Cheng, Zhu and eight helpers from the palace to go to the barbecue restaurant for an interview.

As of this morning, there are 132 people who have signed up, with ten people in each team, and finally 13 teams, with the last team having twelve people.

Li Yu called their names one by one, then set up the chopping board, took out the potatoes that had been prepared in advance, and asked these people to try to cut them.

Starting from the first team, the two fastest and best players in the team will stay, and the others will be eliminated.

There were those who were not good at knife skills but wanted to work in the store. After being eliminated, they did not leave but stood at the door and watched. Li Yu noticed them but did not ask anyone to drive them away and let them stand there.

There were more than 130 people, which seemed like a lot, but it didn't take much time at all to complete the competition, and it was over in more than half an hour.

In the end, twenty-six people remained.

Li Yu asked them to sit aside first, and then come forward in order to answer her and Nanny Tian's questions.

It's not that she was making a fuss, but she didn't want to be backstabbed again, so she would rather go through more trouble. The last time the hot pot restaurant was recruiting people, it used the same method, but at that time the hot pot restaurant was not well-known and there were few people coming to the restaurant, so she, Han Xiaomei and Lu Xuan were the only ones who could handle it.

Each person has four questions.

Nanny Tian asked two questions, and Li Yu asked two questions. There was no unified topic, they just asked whatever they thought of.

After waiting for someone to answer, you can leave.

The results will be given by tomorrow afternoon.

There was a man who wanted to get results immediately, so he stood there with his arms folded and was unwilling to leave.

"Boss Li, my knife skills are among the best in the capital. Even the imperial chefs in the palace can't compare to me. What else do you want to consider? Just hire me directly."

Li Yu looked at the others, "Anyone who can stay and participate in the questioning has good knife skills."

The man was immediately dissatisfied, "How can they compare to me? Boss Li, there are many restaurants in Beijing that want my services. You better think about it. If you don't give me an answer today, I will go somewhere else tomorrow. Don't regret it then."

Li Yu's smile faded a little when he was threatened. "Our barbecue restaurant is not like a big restaurant. I don't think it is worthy of you. Please do as you please."

Man: “…”

*

The man left angrily. Li Yu and Nanny Tian looked at each other and then called on the next person to question.

"Chang Dahua!" Nanny Tian's voice rang out in the lobby.

In the corner, the middle-aged woman heard her name and hurried forward.

She nervously sat down on the chair in front of Li Yu, her heart pounding. She thought she had no chance, but she never thought she would come to this point.

Be sure to speak nicely.

The middle-aged woman swallowed, and after Li Yu asked about her family situation, she tried her best to keep her tone steady and give a fluent answer.

"I have a mother-in-law, a husband, and two children. My eldest daughter is already a marriageable girl, and my youngest son is just eight years old..."

*

At noon, the questioning of the last person ended.

Li Yu said a few words of thanks and then asked him to go home and wait for the results.

Then she closed the door and gave Nanny Tian a piece of paper with the addresses of twenty-six people.

Nanny Tian folded it and put it in her pocket. "I will arrange for someone to check it as soon as I return to the palace. The results will be out by tonight at the latest."

"Thank you for your help." Li Yu said.

Since the barbecue restaurant also uses the name of Princess Jianing to the outside world, in addition to questioning, they also have to conduct a more in-depth investigation of these people to prevent them from doing bad things after coming here and ruining the reputation of Princess Jianing.

"The princess said that we in the palace have no shortage of workers, and she is especially willing to help you arrange it. Boss Li, there is no need for you to look for outsiders." Before leaving, Nanny Tian said earnestly.

Li Yu said, "I understand the princess' intention, but I may open other shops in the future. I can't always hire people from the palace. It's not good for the palace's reputation. It's better to recruit people from outside early. Even if I encounter bad people, it doesn't matter. I can just quit."

Nanny Tian thought about it and realized that this made sense, so she said nothing more.

After the hiring issue was resolved, Li Yu rested at home in the afternoon.

However, halfway through the nap, someone suddenly came to visit the house.
