"Yes! When the snowstorm stops, we still have to go back to the village to open up the wasteland. Your eldest sister-in-law and I are not cut out for business, so when the time comes, we will let the shop run by the third brother, and the second brother and I will figure out what to do."

Lin Qingming also smiled and said that he has been trying hard to learn how to do business recently, but he just doesn't have the brains for it. Not only can he not understand the account books, but it also takes a lot of effort to communicate with customers. It's too tiring, so he still likes to go back to the village to farm.

Lin Qingbai looked at Lin Qingming, then at Lin Qingran, and whispered, "I don't like doing business either. I like cooking. I also want to open a restaurant with your second sister-in-law. What do you think?"

Lin Qingbai has some talent for cooking. All the members of the Lin family have eaten his cooking, but they don't want him to work so hard in the fields every day and then prepare meals for the whole family when he comes home, so they rarely let him cook.

Lin Qingxue listened to what her two brothers said, and she looked at her two sisters-in-law. Although there was disappointment in their eyes when they heard what their husbands said, there was no complaint or hatred. It seemed that the couple had talked frankly with each other.

However, Lin Qingxue didn’t know what to say. She didn’t know whether she should persuade her two brothers to continue living in the city, or return to the village to live with Old Man Lin and the others.

"The snowstorm hasn't passed yet. Once it's over, you can think carefully about whether you want to stay in the city or return to the village to farm. If you decide to go back to the village to farm, you can contract a piece of land to grow vegetables, crops, and raise chickens and ducks. You can also dig a pond and raise some fish. You should be able to make a living anyway."

Lin Qingxue thought about it and realized that although Linjia Village was relatively remote, planting and breeding were still feasible. There was also a lot of labor in the village, so there was no need to buy people or ask people from other villages to work. All she needed to do was hire a few long-term workers from the village.

"Okay, then I'll stay at home and farm, and the second brother will open a restaurant in the city," Lin Qingming and Lin Qingbai looked at each other. It was just right that the two brothers could support and take care of each other.

"You guys can handle these as you see fit. If Second Brother opens a restaurant, Second Sister-in-law will have to learn how to read the account books from Third Brother. You don't need to do it. You can hire someone to do the bookkeeping, but you have to understand the ins and outs of it yourself, so as not to be bullied by others."

Lin Qingxue nodded. She knew that her brothers also knew what she was saying, but she still had to say it out loud so that they wouldn't take it lightly.

Lin Qingbai nodded slightly and agreed on the surface, but he was thinking that he should put his sons to good use, otherwise it would be a waste of raising them.

Lin Xiaoshan currently has ten brothers and sisters in this generation. Lin Qingming and Lin Qingbai each have three sons, Lin Qingran has two sons, Lin Qingxue has two daughters, and the sixteen-year-old twins Lin Qingmin and Lin Qingyue are both unmarried.

Among Lin Xiaoshan's ten brothers and sisters, not all of them have a talent for studying, and the Lin family does not require them to achieve academic success. The purpose of studying is to understand the world and to find a job to support the family in the future.

But things are different now. The Lin family has a shop and is not short of money. The goal of Lin Xiaoshan and others' study has changed to making connections, being able to do accounts, and not being cheated by hired workers.

Otherwise, the three brothers Lin Qingming, Lin Qingbai and Lin Qingran would all focus their attention on Lin Xiaoshan and his brothers.

Those who can study can continue to study, and those who cannot study can learn accounting and business, because the shop will still depend on them in the future.

After the brothers and sisters talked it over, they all had a plan in their minds about what they would do in the future. Especially the brothers Lin Qingming and Lin Qingbai, they felt very satisfied as they could finally do what they liked.

The Lin family has been looking forward to the blizzard stopping and the snow disaster ending. It can be said that the whole country is looking forward to the end of the snow disaster. After all, this snow disaster has taken away countless families, countless lives, and countless houses.

The day after the conversation, Lin Qingxue followed Lin Qingming and others to the shop to help, while Lin Qingyue stayed at home because the college was closed that day and Lin Xiaoshan and others were also at home.

It was already past nine in the morning when they arrived at the shop. Lin Qingxue helped Lin Qingming and others put the tables and chairs in place, and then set the table.

"Liu Tao, Li Xin, you two go to the private room upstairs and wipe the tables and chairs again. Remember to go to the kitchen and get some hot water. It's too cold today, so don't use cold water. Li Chao, Hu Yu, you two go to the kitchen and help wash the vegetables. Sister-in-law, you three go cut the meat. Meihua, Lanhua, you two sisters, boil the soup base for the pot."

Lin Qingxue sat behind the counter, arranging everyone's work in an orderly manner. It could be seen that Lin Qingming and the others had no habit of division of labor. They just did whatever they saw, and sometimes it looked like a mess.

Soon, under Lin Qingxue's arrangement, all the preliminary preparations for the Chinese food in the food restaurant were ready, and they were just waiting for the customers to come.

After waiting for about half an hour, the customer did not wait for anyone. Instead, he waited for the applicants for the positions of waiter and accountant. They were a father and son, and they looked a little haggard and decadent.

"Boss, I saw you posted a job recruitment notice outside, and wanted to ask if we can come?" The speaker was the father. He looked a bit bookish, but not pedantic, and he looked a bit dusty. The young man next to him didn't say anything and seemed a bit embarrassed.

"Have you ever been to school? Can you keep accounts?" Lin Qingxue looked at the young man calmly with a gentle tone, and there was nothing else in her eyes when she looked at the father and son.

"I'm educated and used to work as an accountant. This is my son, he's sixteen years old this year, and he can do odd jobs," the young man said in a hurried tone, and it was obvious that he really needed this job.

From the expressions and clothes of the father and son, Lin Qingxue could tell that they, like herself, had fled to the imperial city from famine. As long as they worked hard, she wouldn't mind hiring them.

"In that case, I'll take both of you. You'll be paid one tael of silver per month as the accountant, and your son will be paid three qian of silver per month as the waiter. After the three-month probation period, your salary will increase to two taels of silver, and his to five qian."

Seeing that the two had no objection, Lin Qingxue called Lin Qingran and Lin Qingming over and asked them to teach the father and son how to work. Since they were already here, they could start working today.

Seeing that they had recruited people, Lin Qingming and the others breathed a sigh of relief. They were not afraid of having too many people, but they were afraid of not being able to recruit enough people.

It doesn't matter if there are too many people! His restaurant also needs to start preparing, so it's a good time to hire a few more people here to work. After they have worked for a while, when the restaurant over there opens, he can transfer some of the waiters from here to work there.

Maybe she was lucky today. Lin Qingxue recruited an accountant and a waiter in the morning, and two shopkeepers and four waiters in the afternoon.
