“Let me ask you, other than the shopkeeper, who manages you?” Ning Yue asked the clerk.
For these shop assistants to not leave until now, it meant that they also had feelings for the original shop. If it were that kind of cunning shop, they would have left long ago. The people who stayed behind were not too bad-hearted, and she was very relieved to use them.
“Bai Lu,” the employee told Ning Yue.
The person called Bai Lu stood up and walked up to Ning Yue. “Boss, I’m Bai Lu.”
“Very good. In the future, you’ll be the supervisor. You can choose three foremen. Those who usually act smart and can speak well will work in two shifts,” Ning Yue said.
She used the modern form of shift changes on the shop assistants. “You’ll be divided into three groups. Each group will work for eight hours.”
The employees were shocked. They only had to work for 8 hours?
In the past, when they worked in the shop, which one of them didn’t stay for the entire day? If the boss changed, could they only work for eight hours? Where could they find such a godly job?!
“I’ll choose Wang Er, Mu Xin, and Jin Sheng,” Bai Lu said.
“Alright, Second Wang, Mu Xin, Jin Sheng, you’ll be the foreman of this shop from now on. You have to be serious and responsible, understand?” Ning Yue said.
Wang Er and Mu Xin nodded. This boss was simply too good.
Instead of ordering them around, he even made them treat this place as their home. Their boss was really the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva!
“Alright, Supervisor Bai, here are the styles of the clothes I drew. Take them to the place where you make clothes.” Ning Yue took out her design.
Bai Lu opened it and was stunned. Below were pants, and above them were knee-length clothes with a belt in the middle. Was this a robe? Why was it so short? He had never seen clothes like this!
“Boss, what kind of clothes are these?” Bai Lu asked Ning Yue in surprise.
“These are your work clothes. Do as I say. Don’t worry, follow me and you’ll have meat to eat and money to earn!” Ning Yue said.
After the plaque of Fortune Pavilion was hung, Ning Yue had yet to open for business when the renovation attracted countless people to watch.
No one had ever seen such a unique building. They all thought that it was where immortals lived.
Before the Fortune Pavilion could sell a dish, it had already spread throughout Laifu Town. The decoration was much better than the most famous Agarwood Pavilion in Laifu Town.
Ning Yue was also overjoyed. She felt that she was simply a genius. How could she complete this in the modern era?
Jiang Ying was also shocked. He felt that his Yueyue must have been possessed by a god. He stayed in the shop and felt that he did not want to go back.
The Fortune Pavilion was completed, and the employees’ work clothes were ready. Ning Yue even made a menu, which was not available in ancient times. Generally, restaurants would make a few dishes, and the employees in the shop would announce the names of the dishes.
However, the menu of the Fortune Pavilion was divided into two portions. One was the restaurant’s proper stir-fry menu, and the other was the snack menu.
In the stir-fry menu, there were many dishes that were different in this era, or dishes that did not exist in this era at all.
For example, iron plate squid, stir-fried cashews, boiled fish, pickled fish, and so on. There were all kinds of modern dishes.
The other snack menu consisted of duck tongue, duck liver, duck wings, dried beans, and other mixed cold dishes and snacks.
After the recipe was decided, Ning Yue gave them the same etiquette training and informed them of the rules.
One day, Bai Lu asked Ning Yue, “Boss, there are many dishes on this menu that we’ve never seen before. No one knows how to cook them!”
“It’s simple. I’ll teach you. After recruiting all the chefs, I’ll teach them how to cook these dishes,” Ning Yue said.
“Wow, Boss, you know how to cook?” Many employees asked at the same time.
“Yes, I’ll teach you when I find a chef. At that time, I’ll make the dishes for you!” Ning Yue said.
Then she and Jiang Ying went back. She thought about how to get fresh chili out of her space to plant. That way, she could supply the needs of the restaurant.
The next day, Ning Yue took two catties of chili from her space early and brought it to the restaurant with Jiang Ying.
The chefs had already been hired. She began to demonstrate how to cook.
The side was filled with chefs and employees. They watched Ning Yue cook.
Ning Yue did not care at all. She threw the chopped onions, ginger, garlic, and some chili into the pot. She stir-fried the spatula and there was a very fragrant aroma, causing the surrounding onlookers to praise her endlessly.
“This smells so good!”
“Yes, it smells so good.”
“I’ve never smelled anything so fragrant in my life.”
