142 Chapter 142 Recruitment
“You’re not considering selling bones in such a big restaurant, are you? That’s not going to attract high-end customers.” Manager Liu said, shaking his head.
I’m not in the business of bones but of beef and mutton. But I’m worried there won’t be enough sheep for sale in my village, so I can only take some from you.”
“I see, that’s great. I’ll come and see what kind of restaurant you are opening soon.”
“Of course, you’re welcome. The 28th is a good day, three days later. You must come and support us when it opens.”
“Don’t worry; I will. Then I will leave the bones for you from the day after tomorrow.”
“Deal. The mutton is 25 coppers per pound and 10 coppers for the bones. What do you think? ”
“No need, just five coppers will do. If you don’t want it, we usually clean it and feed it to the dogs.
“Then you better not regret it when my business is doing well.” laughed Zhou Ying.
“Don’t worry, I won’t regret it.”
“Alright, thank you, Uncle Liu.
“By the way, why don’t you go over there for dinner tonight? You can also try the taste of the lamb bones.”
“No, I’ll wait until your opening. I have an important guest coming over tonight.”
“Alright, I’ll be going back then.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she turned around and returned to her own restaurant.
Then, she gave Zhao Cheng the recipe for making the lamb spine hotpot. “From now on, I’ll leave the lamb spine hotpot and lamb bone soup to you. As for the herbal cuisine, we’ll decide the menu and make it after we’ve decided.”
“Understood. I’ll go and prepare now.”
“Alright. We’ll be eating lamb spine hotpot tonight then.” Zhou Ying returned to the main house and saw Gu Chengrui reading a book. She paused and asked, “Aren’t you supposed to be busy over there?”
“Not really. The main thing happening over there is the renovation, so there’s no need to keep a close eye on it.” Gu Chengrui pulled her into his arms and kissed her on the cheek. “It’s been hard on you. Why don’t we hire another manager to help support the front, and you can command from behind?
“Besides, there are some things that need to be done by you personally, and you might not be able to handle them.”
“Sure, but finding a suitable manager is not easy.”
“If we put up a notice, those interested will keep an eye on it. At that time, we’ll just ask around about his character.
“Oh right, there are also the waiters, as three is not enough. We need at least six, or else we won’t be able to handle it.”
“Alright, you should write a notice, and we’ll put it up later.” Zhou Ying decided and took out the stationeries from her interspace.
Gu Chengrui immediately got up and started to prepare.
At that time, Zhou Ying added, “By the way, we also need to add people in the kitchen. Find two to do odd jobs and two to wash the dishes.”
“Alright, there’s quite a number of people we still need.” Gu Chengrui sighed.
Then, he bent over and started writing the notice.
While he was doing that, Zhou Ying designed the waistcoat and outfit for the restaurant staff. It could unify their clothing and keep them sanitary, especially with a cooking hat. It would be troublesome if any hair fell into the pot.
People came to the door in the afternoon, not long after the notice was put up. The additional kitchen helper and dishwasher positions were quickly taken by four strong women.
As for the waiters, Zhou Ying had picked those who were literate. Otherwise, they wouldn’t even know how to write down customer orders.
They didn’t expect to recruit four at a time, and two were originally this Dongxing Restaurant’s employees.
Zhou Ying hesitated for a moment before accepting them, but she still warned, “This isn’t the original Dongxing Restaurant, and we’re not doing what we did before. If you want to work here, then do it well. Otherwise, please don’t blame me for firing you when the time comes.
“Don’t worry, boss; we understand this, and we will definitely do our best.”
“Okay. You only have one chance. Cherish it.”
