Back to the Sixties: Farm, Get Wealthy & Raise the Cubs Chapter 289 Hire someone

Chapter 289. Hire someone

Zhou Qing Bai's dumpling shop operated for two months before it stabilized.

Each month's profit was a little more than the previous month.

The first month was 70 yuan or so. The second month's month was almost 80 yuan. Zhou Qing Bai kept to his rules.

He left ten yuan for expenditures and gave the rest to his wife for safekeeping.

It was currently into its third month. Zhou Qing Bai will go out to buy vegetables and meat at 5:30 every morning and head to shop. It was always that early.

As the weather was getting warmer and warmer, everyone gets up earlier. Naturally, his shop must open earlier.

Originally, Lin Qing He wanted to let him buy all the fruits and vegetables a day in advance. But Zhou Qing Bai wanted to get the freshest, so Lin Qing He could only leave it up to him.

Honestly, Zhou Qing Bai's personality can be seen by everyone at the dumpling shop, so there were many repeat customers.

The dumplings had thick skins and a lot of fillings. What's more, they were extraordinarily fresh, so everyone was very satisfied.

Whenever one wanted to eat dumplings, they usually came to this shop.

Over the past two months, Zhou Qing Bai gained a lot of frequent customers under his management.

Zhou Qing Bai added two more selections. One was cuc.u.mber and the other was tomato.

Whether it was cuc.u.mber or tomato, it was fine to eat it raw. Zhou Qing Bai made very little profit on these two. Not much different from the market.

Still, many people would request it. They ate one as they gobble their dumplings. Or when they leave, they buy a tomato as a snack when settling the bill.

Lin Qing He praised Zhou Qing Bai's business skills. She hadn't noticed it before.

Zhou Qing Bai recorded the account that night and said, "Wife, I want to find someone for was.h.i.+ng the dish."

Lin Qing He froze, then nodded, "It's time to hire one."

The business was really good at the shop right now. In the current situation, there was almost a profit of five yuan a day. The business was really getting better and better.

The three naughty sons would all go to help out in the shop. But they can't go there often.

"Find someone who is older." Lin Qing He said.

"Will Aunt Ma do it?" Zhou Qing Bai already had someone in mind.

Lin Qing He hadn't considered Aunt Ma Aunt. She came to a halt and responded: "Aunt Ma. Wouldn't she be too old?"

Aunt Ma was over fifty.

"She got a very st.u.r.dy body." Zhou Qing Bai pointed out.

She can climb three floors without breathing hard. She was a frank person and liked cleanliness. She had a good relations.h.i.+p with the family.

Zhou Qing Bai pondered, would she accept this job?

"Then I will ask tomorrow?" Lin Qing He said.

She must have gone to bed at this time, so Lin Qing He decided to ask tomorrow. After all, to be honest, if Aunt Ma was willing to go to the shop to help wash the dishes, then tha would be great.

Also incidentally, she can keep watch, right? Better not let those gaudy people hara.s.s her Qing Bai.

"Okay." Zhou Qing Bai nodded.

"How much salary is appropriate?" Lin Qing He asked.

Zhou Qing Bai told her that it was 20 a month with one meal included. And that it would start at 8 o'clock in the morning and have a break at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and rest until 4 o'clock. Then continue on from 4 to 7 in the afternoon.

The working hours were a bit longer, but it was quite idle because she only needed to wipe the table and wash the dishes. That was it.

The rest of the time was relaxing. After all, the business was good but not good enough to queue up.

Lin Qing He nodded and said, "Then I will find Aunt Ma tomorrow to talk about it."

Zhou Qing Bai went out early the next morning. Lin Qing He got Da Wa to cook breakfast and went to see Aunt Ma.

Aunt Ma was taken aback: "The shop lacks a dishwasher?"

"Yes. I don't know if you can introduce someone, Auntie? Just require someone nimble. Don't need to do anything else, just wash the dishes and wipe the table." Lin Qing He explained.

"How old do you want them to be?" Aunt Ma's heart moved.

"As long as their body is well. Like Aunt Ma, you are fine." Lin Qing He laughed when she heard this question.

She said it like a joke. Still, Aunt Ma said: "Teacher Lin, what do you think of me?"

Lin Qing He paused for a moment: "Aunt Ma, do you want to apply?"

"My legs are swift and I love to be clean. There will never be a problem." Aunt Ma hurriedly stated.

"But letting Aunt Ma go to wash the dishes, Uncle Ma would be angry when he find out." Lin Qing He responded.

"What's there to be angry about? You don't know how bored I am at home." Aunt Ma said: "I wanted to find something to do a long time ago. It's just people don't want me."

Aunt Ma and Uncle Ma got two sons. One son served as a soldier at the border side. That son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren were all over there. They might not be able to come back once in a few years.

Another was sent to the countryside and married a rural girl. His household registration was over there. They visit during New Year and went back after the New Year.

Recently, they were trying to find a way to move their second son's family's household registration back.

Uncle Ma got a job, while Aunt Ma didn't. She was a housewife. However, Aunt Ma's heart wasn't old.

She really wanted to find work, but no one wanted to hire her.

"Auntie, Qing Bai's little shop can't make much money. He can only give twenty yuan a month." Lin Qing He said.

"I can go for ten dollars." Aunt Ma straightforwardly replied.

Lin Qing He laughed: "We can't treat you badly. Since you have decided, Aunt, I will tell you about it first."

She clarified the working hours and then said: "Auntie, go back and consider it with my uncle. We aren't in a hurry."

It seems like Aunt Ma didn't have to think about it.

What was there to consider about?

Uncle Ma’s salary was more than forty a month. The two of them live very frugally. In a month,they got ten yuan spare. In the past, they could exchange it for some national tickets to send to their sons and daughters-in-law.

It was also because of the old couple's that the two sons outside have a much easier life.

However, the old couple didn't have much money left. They didn't know what will happen in the future. Who didn't want to make more money?

So, Aunt Ma told Uncle Ma to eat alone at home in the afternoon since lunch was taken care of in the morning. After tidying up, she came to the dumpling shop to help Zhou Qing Bai.

"Auntie came so early." Zhou Qing Bai smiled.

"I'm idle at home," Auntie Ma said enthusiastically.

Just when two guests finished eating, Aunt Ma went to tidy up. Then she washed it clean and set it aside for later use.

After was.h.i.+ng the dishes, she helped Zhou Qing Bai make dumplings.

"Auntie, more fillings.Yes, that much." Zhou Qing Bai was willing to let her help, so he instructed her to pack more fillings.

"That much filling?" Aunt Ma was very surprised. She whispered: "Would there be any profit?"
