The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

Chapter 288 Inside Story (2)
All the workers in the shop were silent, not daring to make any movement.

Regarding this, Qing Shu didn't even blink her eyes, and asked the thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy who was pushed to the ground, "What's your name?"

The boy was too scared, "Lan, Lan Zhu."

Qing Shu, "What's the relationship with Lan Linzi?"

Lan Zhu answered every question, "He is, the uncle of the same family."

Qingshu asked again, "What were you peeking at just now?" She guessed that the person peeking from behind the curtain was this boy.

Lan Zhu didn't dare to hide it, "Uncle was afraid that Mrs. Zhang would steal the money from the guests, so he confessed to the younger one before going out, so that the younger one could keep an eye on the business in the shop." It meant that Lan Linzi specially arranged for him to monitor Mrs. Zhang.

Qing Shu no longer asked the young master, "Go to two people and bring Master Zhang here."

Not long after, Da Mao led the way, and Gu Shitou took the two of them to the backyard, and carried Master Zhang over on a plank bed.

This master is Mrs. Zhang's man.He was blind in one eye, slightly lame on his left foot, a tall and thin man in his thirties.

Seeing people, Qing Shu was very surprised.Master Zhang turned out to be tall and thin, but very strong.But now, not only does he have a bad complexion, he is so thin that his eyes are sunken, not to the point where he is only skin and bones, but he is not far away.

Master Zhang was carried over and put on the ground, so he turned over and rolled off the bed, lying on the ground choked up and said, "The small ones are useless, the small ones are too bearish, the small ones can't protect the young lady's shop outside, and can't control themselves inside." My mother-in-law even revealed the method of making the fillings, the young ones should be damned, the young ones should be damned. Miss, please spare Da Mao and Er Mao, don’t blame these two children, it’s all the fault of the young couple.”

But Da Mao and Er Mao crawled over, one called Third Uncle, the other called Dad, to keep Master Zhang from moving, and started to cry.

Qing Shu got a headache from the noise, "Shut up."

Now, no one dared to make a sound, and it was finally quiet.

Qingshu frowned, "Master Zhang, I'll give you a chance to explain clearly why my lady's shop has become what it is now?" Although the brand is still Guji Baozi Shop, the money has already been in other people's pockets.It's a good thing she made this trip, otherwise it would have been half a month before sending someone over after discovering something unusual.In the middle, there can be many variables and dangers.

There has never been a shopkeeper or a cashier in the shop for two reasons.One, when I opened this shop, I sold only one thing, buns and bean paste buns, plus a bean sprout.There are few categories, and the accounts are easy to remember. There is no need to hire a shopkeeper or accountant at all.Later, a few things were added, and Master Zhang and his wife could handle this rough bookkeeping.Second, Qing Shu didn't have any suitable candidates for shopkeeper or accountant. In addition, her shop was not big and she had enough manpower, so there was no need to specially hire a shopkeeper or accountant.

Afterwards, the business has been going well, and the shop recruited Yan Chef and two odd jobs, and successively served several special dishes, as well as dishes that are available in restaurants or snack shops nowadays.The guests all approve of Tim's dishes, and the business is not bad, so the shop is getting busier and busier.Qingshu considered recruiting the shopkeeper, so the bookkeeping was done by the shopkeeper, just like Gu Yuanhe.However, I still haven't been able to find a suitable and reliable person.

Before hiring a cook and doing chores, Master Zhang was busy in the kitchen, and at the same time he had to take care of the cash register and bookkeeping.With cooks and handymen, more than half of Master Zhang's work was divided, so he prepared the fillings needed for the day early, and then concentrated on collecting money and simple accounting entries in the front.Master Zhang's literacy is limited, but he can still write from one to ten to Bai and Qian.Every time money is received, the amount of money is recorded in the ledger.When the shop closes, Master Zhang will count the cash received that day and compare it with the income in the account, for fear that he will make a mistake.

Although their accounting methods are crude, they are passable.At the beginning of each month, the shop's input account and purchase expenditure account will be sent to Qing Shu.Qingshu will reorganize and make a clear account and a dark account.In this way, there have been no mistakes.However, Qing Shu once made it clear to Zhang's couple that if there is a suitable candidate, there must be a shopkeeper in the shop.

But now, without Qingshu's knowledge, there is an extra Lan shopkeeper in Guji Steamed Bun Shop for no reason.Before there was no shopkeeper, Qingshu handed over the shop to the Zhang family and his wife, but now they managed to find a shopkeeper that even her owner didn't know about, so she naturally had to seek an explanation from the Zhang family.

When asked by the owner, Master Zhang's performance was the opposite of Mrs. Zhang's attitude of trying to hide something, and he explained the whole thing clearly.A few days ago, this Lan Linzi went to Guji Steamed Bun Shop to inquire whether there was a shortage of shopkeepers or cashiers, and Mrs. Zhang said there was no shortage, so she prepared to send him away.No, he said that he knows Chef Yan who works in the shop, and that Chef Yan can guarantee him that he is indeed qualified for the position of shopkeeper.

Mrs. Zhang was overjoyed, thinking that Chef Yan knew him, and since Chef Yan could be the guarantor, he must be a good person.If she succeeds in this matter, the young lady will not be able to praise her for her ability, and maybe even raise her wages.So, she enthusiastically invited Lan Linzi to visit the kitchen and let him meet with Yan Chef.When she saw that Lan Linzi was very familiar with Yan Chef talking, she wanted to keep Lan Linzi.

Master Zhang knew about it, but he resolutely refused.He flatly rejected Lan Linzi, saying that only the shopkeeper knew if there was a shortage of shopkeepers in the shop, and even if there was a real shortage of shopkeepers, it would have to be sent by the shopkeeper himself, and they had no control over it.So Lan Linzi was sent away.Afterwards, the couple quarreled about it.Mrs. Zhang meant that Chef Yan should not be offended. In the future, the husband and wife would no longer have the final say in the shop. This offended Chef Yan who was recognized by the owner, and their life would definitely be difficult in the future.For the sake of Chef Yan, they have to keep Lan Linzi, so that they can be good people in the shop in the future.What's more, if the husband and wife can invite the shopkeeper without any grievances, the boss will look at them highly.This is something everyone enjoys, and it should not be rejected.Master Zhang is very stubborn, just a name, no.

A few days after this incident, a police officer took a steward of the Chen residence and Lan Linzi to the shop to eat buns.The steward looked at the shop for a while, talked about his identity, and pointed to Lan Linzi, "I am his uncle, and he is my brother-in-law. Your boss has a close relationship with the Chen family. From now on, my brother-in-law will be your boss's subordinate." One of the storekeepers, when the time comes, please take care of your husband and wife."

Mrs. Zhang was taken aback, and regretted it, and blamed Master Zhang for offending someone who shouldn't be offended.

Master Zhang didn't really believe it, and said directly, "As long as the boss nods and recognizes the shopkeeper, who would dare to make things difficult? At that time, the shopkeeper should take care of our husband and wife. How can we say that our husband and wife take care of the shopkeeper?"

After hearing this, both the steward and Lan Linzi were very upset, and left without even paying for the meal.Master Zhang stopped him to ask for it, and the steward paid for the meal with a dark face.That night, their husband and wife quarreled again, Mrs. Zhang thought that the man had offended someone again, how could the Chen family's stewards be offended by their little ordinary people.
