Chapter 179 Your elder sister Geng and elder sister Hou have resigned
"It's not similar. Some jelly is made with broth. Jelly is not just pork skin jelly. There is also pork bone soup jelly and chicken soup jelly. Last time I heard of something even more outrageous. They used technological seasonings and diluted water to make jelly directly. I heard that it tastes very delicious. Every day a bunch of people line up waiting for that store to open!" said Sun Dehai.
“It’s extremely fresh, too fresh, and even top-quality ingredients can’t produce that taste. It may seem fresh the first few times you eat it, but after eating it too much you can actually taste the seasoning. I don’t think this shop will last long.” After opening her own shop, Zhao Xiaojing has always adhered to the principle of slow and long-term development. She does not over-advertise, and does not abuse unhealthy ingredients and seasonings to reduce costs, so that customers can still feel the quality over time.
"The smart thing about that store is that it opened its doors in a tourist city, near a scenic spot, and it didn't consider repeat customers. If a person has a bad conscience, he will make money from anything! No wonder people say that only people with black hearts can get rich." Sun Dehai cursed.
The two of them complained a few more times. After Zhao Xiaojing asked about the recipe of the jelly in detail, Sun Dehai suddenly lowered his voice. "Xiao Zhao, your elder sister Geng and elder sister Hou have resigned. I wanted to tell you just now, but they were in the kitchen and it was not easy to tell you in person. Now they are out. It happened two days ago. Manager Li is busy looking for people these days. They will leave when they find someone."
"Why? Didn't they sign a long-term contract? Why did they suddenly resign?" Zhao Xiaojing was shocked.
"The company is bound by the long-term contract, and they cannot fire them at will, but if they want to leave, they can resign, just let them know in advance." Sun Dehai explained patiently. "I don't know much more, it seems to be Geng Mingyan's family affairs, and it's not easy for me, a grown man, to ask. But after all, we have been colleagues for so many years, and suddenly two of them left, I can't help but feel sad."
Sun Dehai sighed and his voice gradually became low.
"Then I'll call the two sisters and ask them later. After all, we are colleagues and I can't help much, but I'll at least say hello." Zhao Xiaojing said after thinking for a while.
"Yes, that's what I mean. You all have a good relationship. If you have time, give her a call and show your concern for your elder sister Geng. It will be easier for you to talk to each other."
"I understand. I'll ask after I finish working in the cafeteria at lunch." Zhao Xiaojing replied.
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Xiaojing saw that it was almost time, so she took a basket of duck eggs to the door of the front hall.
When the air conditioner is not turned on, the glass door of the front hall is always open. There is a platform about 1 meter wide outside the door. There is no obstruction on the platform, so it can get just enough sunlight. There are two steps in front of the platform, and the sidewalk is after going down the steps.
Su Yuchen saw Zhao Xiaojing coming out with a winnowing basket and helped move a chair to the platform at the door. Zhao Xiaojing put the winnowing basket on the chair and arranged the duck eggs more neatly to prevent them from rolling away.
It is now mid-November and it is mid-morning. The sun is not very hot, which is the best time to dry duck eggs. An hour is just right.
This process seems simple, but it is actually one of the important steps that Su Yuchen's mother told her to do. During the drying process, the duck eggs gradually lose moisture, which not only makes it easier to produce oil, but also greatly reduces the moisture on the surface of the eggshell, which is beneficial to the subsequent pickling process and allows the duck eggs to better absorb the pickling liquid.
"Mirror, I've almost finished my lessons. The band I told you about before is looking for a lead singer again. The lead singer they found later jumped ship. I saw that the keyboard player seemed a little depressed in his circle of friends, so I chatted with him for a while and said what he said.
They are all part-time in the band, and the atmosphere is actually pretty good, but they don't make much money, and the lead singer left because he disliked this." Su Yuchen watched Zhao Xiaojing stack the eggs, and said with his eyes downcast while standing aside.
"If you want to go, you can go ahead. I support you just like you support me." Zhao Xiaojing glanced at Su Yuchen, immediately understood what Su Yuchen meant, and patted her hands gently.
"But what about the store? They rehearse about twice a week, starting at 8pm each time, when the store is still open. I'm afraid no one will care if I go there, and I'm also afraid that if I go there this time, I'll let them down again because of a time conflict. They're all very nice people...
Of course you too, we agreed to be partners, it would be unfair to leave you alone in the store if I go, the front office needs me." Su Yuchen frowned slightly, looking very hesitant.
"We agreed to be partners, but at that time you were looking for a job and just wanted to make money to support yourself. Now you have something you want to do, of course you should work hard for it, and of course I should support you. Besides, partners don't necessarily have to work here. We both paid for the opening and decoration of this store, and we also invested the money we used to set up the stall. You are the original shareholder, and you can also just invest and be a hands-off manager.
As for the front desk job, aren't we still hiring? Our job posting says we're hiring two people, but we haven't hired them yet. And in three or four days, the sugar water stand will expire, and Lu Hongwen will also be here. "Zhao Xiaojing smiled and took Su Yuchen's arm as they walked towards the store, not worried at all.
"Lv Hongwen is here to deliver takeout. When we open the takeout service, the store will only be busier. Let me think about it again. I can't be so selfish. I'll wait until I really recruit someone." Su Yuchen shook his head.
"Well, how about you post another recruitment information online and recruit a receptionist in addition to the previous recruitment of waiters. After you hire her, you can help in the kitchen and find someone else to do the front desk work. Let's refine the division of labor.
As for the kitchen, I can handle it by myself after you leave. Then I can let Ouyang learn how to serve rice and cut pig's feet. It's not a difficult job.
That's enough people, you don't have to worry anymore, right?" Zhao Xiaojing asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Okay, that's an idea!" Su Yuchen's brows relaxed and he readily agreed. He immediately returned to the computer, raised the corners of his mouth and started typing quickly.
Zhao Xiaojing looked at Su Yuchen's relieved expression and shook her head and smiled. She understood Su Yuchen's worries, but she didn't think Su Yuchen was selfish for not spending all his time with her to open the store.
On the contrary, opening a restaurant and cooking are things she likes to do, and she is also happy to see Su Yuchen find something she likes to do.
"Wow, sister, are you going to make salted duck eggs? Sister, I went home yesterday and weighed myself and I gained 0.3 catties!"
The two of them were huddled together looking at the computer screen when Ouyang Yidan came hopping in with a canvas bag on her back. Zhao Xiaojing was stunned and looked at the time to find that it was already ten o'clock.
"Ah! I've been talking nonsense with you. It's already this late. Cook, cook. My beef and chicken are still in the pot!"
Zhao Xiaojing got up hurriedly, and Su Yuchen followed her into the kitchen, closing the computer.
