The shopkeeper who was in charge of the affairs stayed in the spacious and bright hall, carefully checking the accounts at noon and recording the details of various income and expenditure in the book one by one; while the accountant sat at the table, fiddling with the abacus beads, carefully calculating every expense and income.

Meanwhile, the other guys quickly moved to the backyard, where a long wooden table was placed, piled high with fresh ingredients and bamboo skewers.

They skillfully picked up handfuls of meat and vegetable skewers, and threaded them onto bamboo sticks with expert technique, preparing for the upcoming dinner rush.

Lin Qingxue stepped down from the carriage lightly, her figure graceful like a blooming lotus. She walked calmly and slowly into the West City Food Restaurant, which was crowded with people and extremely bustling.

The shopkeeper's sharp eyes spotted Lin Qingxue immediately and he quickly stepped forward with a broad smile, greeting her warmly, "Hey, Fourth Miss, you're finally here! The uncles and the others are busy stringing skewers in the backyard. Are you here to see them?"

Lin Qingxue's lips curled up slightly, revealing a gentle smile. She nodded gently and said softly, "Well, I'm not here to look for them. I came to ask how business is going at noon. Is everyone able to handle it? Also, are there enough barbecue skewers prepared for dinner?"

The shopkeeper quickly replied, "Lunch was pretty good. The customers were quite satisfied with the food, and we had plenty of skewers! As for the evening, it seems like it should be enough based on the current situation, but we've been working hard to string the skewers. It's just that we're short on manpower. It would be great if the shop could hire two more people specifically to be responsible for stringing the skewers, otherwise we're really overwhelmed."

Zhang Luo is the owner of Xicheng Food Restaurant. At this moment, he is standing respectfully in front of Lin Qingxue. He knows very well that although this shop seems to be managed by several masters on the surface, in fact, the one who makes the final decision is this fourth girl.

Although she is young, she is the most capable and far-sighted person in the Lin family.

After a brief thought, Lin Qingxue nodded, agreeing with the shopkeeper's idea, and said, "Okay, we can do as you say. Then we should quickly recruit two more people who are quick and clean to help with the work! We need to hurry up on this matter."

After saying that, she looked around again and expressed her satisfaction with the business situation of the store. The floor was clean and the tables, chairs and benches were neatly arranged.

"Okay, Fourth Miss, don't worry! Since you've entrusted this recruitment matter to me, I will do my best to get it done."

Seeing Lin Qingxue nodded and agreed to recruit people, Zhang Luo felt relieved and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

During this period of time, everyone has been very busy and has been working all day long. They are very tired. If this continues for a long time, I am afraid that everyone's body will not be able to bear it.

"Well, you can handle these trivial matters according to your own ideas. As long as you work hard and keep our shop in good order, I will definitely give everyone a raise next year."

Lin Qingxue spoke to Zhang Luo with a smile on her face, in a soft but firm tone. In fact, this was not just a casual remark, she really meant it in her heart.

After all, it was everyone's concerted efforts that made the shop's business so prosperous today. When she was eating meat herself, how could she be reluctant to give everyone a share?

Upon hearing this, Zhang Luo's face lit up with joy. He quickly bowed and said, "Thank you very much for your kindness, Fourth Miss! I will definitely fulfill my mission and do my best to urge everyone to work hard. Please rest assured, Fourth Miss!"

You know, he was hired to work, and he worked hard every day just to earn a few more dollars to support his family.

Now that he heard that there was a chance of a salary increase, even a calm man like him could not hide his excitement.

"Alright, I'll leave this place in your care for now! I'll go around to the other shops and check out the situation. You guys can continue to work with peace of mind!"

Lin Qingxue nodded with satisfaction, then turned around, left the food building, got on the carriage, and headed towards the restaurant next door.

At this moment, the small restaurant located in the neighborhood had just seen off a group of customers who had enjoyed lunch. As the last customer stepped out of the store, the store finally returned to peace temporarily. Lin Qingbai and other people in the shop breathed a sigh of relief and got some chance to breathe.

However, when they turned around and looked at the messy kitchen that looked like a post-war ruin, they couldn't help but feel helpless.

Although fatigue was surging over their bodies like a tide, everyone quickly cheered up and devoted themselves to the next work.

The first thing to do is to wipe clean the tables, chairs and benches that are tilted and stained with food residue and oil stains, and put them neatly back in a certain order.

Then, piles of dishes were waiting to be washed. Everyone rolled up their sleeves and skillfully put the greasy dishes into the water, added detergent, and scrubbed them carefully.

After all the dishes are washed, you need to wipe them dry one by one with a dry and clean cloth to ensure that no water stains remain.

After completing these steps, the staff carefully moved the clean dishes into the hall and various private rooms and carefully placed them on each table.

After a busy period, everyone finally completed these trivial and arduous tasks. Only then did they have time to take care of their rumbling stomachs.

After hurriedly finishing their simple lunch, everyone took the time to take a short break. The short half-hour lunch break passed in a flash, and the clock quietly pointed to around 3:30 in the afternoon.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled shadows, and the breeze blows gently, bringing a slight coolness.

At this time, Lin Qingbai, wearing a white apron, skillfully picked up a kitchen knife and stood in front of the kitchen chopping board with several kitchen helpers.

In front of them was a pile of lively fish, which were the raw materials for making delicious grilled fish today.

As Lin Qingxue had instructed before, Lin Qingbai needed to prepare a fixed number of twenty grilled fish every day at noon and in the evening, and they would no longer be supplied once they were sold out.

Therefore, today they still slaughtered a total of twenty fish. As the knife rose and fell, fish scales splashed everywhere, and each fish was quickly processed cleanly.

The fish offal and other parts were casually thrown into the backyard and became a delicious meal for the dogs, while the processed and whole fish meat was put into a basin, evenly sprinkled with salt, cooking wine and other seasonings, and carefully marinated.
