Chapter 157: Inspecting the Shop and Raising Wages
After completing the marinating work, Lin Qingbai did not stop, but led everyone to start cutting various side dishes needed for grilled fish.
Cucumbers were cut into strips, green peppers were cut into sections, and potatoes were cut into cubes. Everyone did their job, and their movements were skillful and neat.
Time passed quietly in the busyness, and when all the preparations were completed, the clock had already pointed to five o'clock in the afternoon.
At this moment, Lin Qingxue walked into the neighboring restaurant with light steps. At a glance, she saw Lin Qingbai and others had just finished their work and were sitting in the shade of the trees in the backyard to take a rest.
Only Rosen was still standing at the counter, carefully recording every detail of income and expenditure in the account book.
Seeing this, Lin Qingxue pursed her lips and smiled slightly, then said softly, "Shopkeeper Luo, everyone has worked hard over the past period of time. Look at our restaurant, business is booming. I've seen it all, and I'm thinking of giving everyone a raise next year."
Upon hearing this, Rosen quickly stood up, clasped his hands together, and bowed respectfully, saying, "Let me thank you on behalf of everyone! Don't worry, we will work even harder from now on and won't slack off for even a moment!"
His slightly tired face could hardly conceal the joy and excitement in his heart, and the excitement and happiness revealed in his words could not be more obvious.
After all, as an ordinary worker, who wouldn't like a good thing like a salary increase?
Lin Qingxue smiled and nodded in agreement. Then, she turned her gaze to Lin Qingbai, who had just heard her voice and was walking briskly from the backyard, and asked, "Brother, how are the grilled fish preparations for tonight? Were the guests satisfied with the grilled fish we had for lunch today?"
Lin Qingbai gently patted the fish scales on his body, and those tiny scales fell like snowflakes. They were accidentally stuck on his body when he was handling the fish.
He raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a bright smile. "According to your wishes, prepare twenty grilled fish for lunch and dinner! Look, the twenty fish for dinner have already been carefully marinated, and all the side dishes have been neatly cut and placed aside. We're just waiting for our guests to arrive tonight. I'll go fry the fish in a while!"
Lin Qingxue nodded in agreement with a smile on her face, her eyes gleaming with satisfaction. She said softly, "This grilled fish is our restaurant's signature dish, so we must ensure its quality is top-notch. Oh, and I just came back from the West City Food Hall. The barbecue skewers business is booming, but they're a little short on staff. I've already told the owner there to hire two more guys to help out. We have to keep an eye on things here too. If we're really overwhelmed, we'll have to recruit more people in time. How about finding you a worker who specializes in butchering fish?"
After hearing what Lin Qingxue said, Lin Qingbai thought for a moment. If every day in the future was as busy as today, it would be difficult for him to cope with it alone.
So he nodded decisively and replied, "Well, sure! Then let's hire a handyman, someone who can kill fish and do some other odd jobs. That way everyone can have a little more ease."
"Boss Luo, please go post a hiring notice at the door! As for the wages, just pay them the same as for the other waiters. Our restaurant's customer base is pretty much stable now, but if we want to take it to the next level, we need to innovate. Second brother, if you have some free time, you can come up with some new dishes."
Lin Qingxue arranged the work in an orderly manner, with confidence and wisdom in her eyes. She knew that if a restaurant wanted to maintain a good customer base, the menu was crucial. If you eat the same dishes for a long time, you will get tired of them one day, so innovation is very important.
"Okay, don't worry, little sister. I understand. I will definitely find time to study the new dish carefully."
Lin Qingbai agreed with a smile, knowing that his sister's words did not mean she would ignore him, but rather hoped that he could learn more, improve his cooking skills, and bring more special delicacies to the restaurant.
Lin Qingxue nodded with satisfaction, and then walked around the restaurant carefully. From time to time, she stopped to check whether the tables and chairs were neatly arranged; from time to time, she bent down to check whether the floor was clean and tidy; from time to time, she talked to the waiters, reminding them to pay attention to service attitude and details.
After confirming that everything was correct, Lin Qingxue turned around and prepared to leave to inspect the next store.
Walking out of the door of the neighboring restaurant, Lin Qingxue lightly got on the carriage that had been waiting there. The coachman waved the whip, the carriage started slowly, the wheels rolled forward, and gradually moved away from this bustling restaurant.
Looking at the carriage going away, everyone in the restaurant was filled with longing and expectation for the future. They all worked hard and continued to devote themselves to their busy work, striving hard for the restaurant's business to prosper.
After a circle of journey, night had quietly fallen and the sky gradually became as dark as ink. When Lin Qingxue dragged her slightly tired steps slowly into the gate of the Lin Mansion, she found that the two teams led by Lin Qingming and Lin Qingran had not returned yet.
Seeing this, Lin Qingxue frowned slightly, but didn't take it to heart. She only opened her red lips and casually instructed the kitchen, "Just make something to eat, as long as it can fill my stomach."
After she finished speaking, she turned and walked towards the restaurant. Not long after, an enticing aroma wafted out from the kitchen and filled the entire house.
After a while, a series of simple yet exquisite meals were served on the table in front of Lin Qingxue. Although these dishes looked ordinary, they were delicious in color, aroma and taste, making people's appetites whetted.
Lin Qingxue hurried to the table, sat down, picked up the chopsticks, and began to enjoy the late lunch in whirlwind.
In just a few moments, all the food on the table was gone. She put down her bowl and chopsticks, wiped her mouth with a napkin, then stood up and left the table, walking straight to her room.
After entering the room, Lin Qingxue gently closed the door and shouted to the outside: "Warm!"
Soon, a petite maid with a pretty face walked in quickly.
Lin Qingxue looked at the maid in front of her and said softly, "Please prepare a basin of hot water for me. I want to take a bath."
