Chapter 518 Plan

At this time, there was still some time before lunch, and there was no one in the restaurant. Everyone took a rest and started to work.

Under Qian's arrangement, Zhou Dalang and the others went to fetch water and buy ingredients because there were unexpectedly many guests today, and the vegetables brought yesterday and the meat bought today were not enough.

For the rest, those who wash the dishes wash the dishes, those who tidy up the tables and chairs tidy up the tables and chairs, and Mrs. Qian leads Zhou Xi, Mrs. He and others to take charge of the kitchen.

To make steamed buns, to wake up noodles to make noodles...

The younger ones of Manbao took out all the money they received today, and strung them up one by one, a hundred in a string, and ten in a string.

The food they sell is not expensive, and ordinary people mostly use copper coins, so they don't receive silver.

Everyone had a great time stringing copper coins, and everyone was chatting while counting the money. Erya came over from the back kitchen to record the accounts, "Sister-in-law, look, this is the amount of flour and vegetables used by the auntie and the others today. Last night I After some calculations, a basket of steamed stuffed buns probably needs flour..."

Erya calculated an approximate amount, and said, "The two barrels of tofu curds I made early this morning were all sold out. I spooned the bean curds into the bowl. I counted them, and there are about sixty bowls in one barrel... ..."

Man Bao wrote this down and calculated how much he could sell it for.

Bai Shanbao took a look and said: "The difference seems to be a bit big, how did this happen?"

Erya sighed and said, "The store was too chaotic before grandma and sister-in-law came. Some left without paying for their meals, and some charged the wrong bill."

Man Bao frowned and said, "That's not okay. Many of our family members are still like this now. After we go back in two days, wouldn't sister-in-law and the others be even more busy?"

"I see that there are many people in other restaurants, but they are orderly, and they don't need a lot of staff," Bai Shanbao said, "Perhaps you should go and see how other restaurants do it, and then make arrangements and learn how to arrange them. Naturally, they will be in a hurry at the beginning. After all, I'm not familiar with it, but I should be proficient in doing it for a few days."

Man Bao thought about it, "I know how they arrange it. There is usually one person at the counter and two waiters. I don't know about the kitchen."

Yang and Shu sat on the second floor and listened to their lively discussion downstairs, and finally put down their chopsticks after eating and drinking enough.

"Many people have suffered so much to figure out the method, because they have read the book, and they can easily learn it from others after a little thought." Yang Heshu shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity that few people know this."

Wan Tian did not speak.

Yang Heshu was very sad, "There are so many benefits to reading, why don't you like reading?"

The people downstairs finally heard Yang Heshu's voice, and only then remembered that the magistrate was still upstairs.

Man Bao put the counted money and account books in the drawer, and went up to the second floor with Bai Shanbao and the others, "Master Yang, are you trying to persuade me to learn?"

"That's right," Yang Heshu poured himself a bowl of water, and said, "It's a pity that I have been persuading him from years to years, but not many people are willing to study, let alone get admitted to the county school."

He glanced at Bai Shanbao again, and asked: "Are you really not considering coming to the county school? If your grades in the county school are good, I can recommend you to the prefectural school, and then you can directly enter the prefectural school without taking an exam. "

Bai Shanbao thought about it seriously, then shook his head and said: "Thank you sir, I still want to go to the government school by myself, I'm still young, I think I can always be admitted to the government school before the fourteenth."

As soon as Yang Heshu heard it, he knew that he had a plan, and he asked with interest, "How did you plan?"

Bai Shanbao said: "I talked with my husband. Before the 14th, you should be able to be admitted to the government school. After two years of entering the school, see if there is a chance to be admitted to the Imperial Academy. Before you enter the crown, you can take the imperial examination."

Yang Heshu clapped his palms and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, with your intelligence, you should have no problem entering the Imperial Academy. By the way, are you going to take the Imperial Academy or the Four Schools?"

"Of course I'm too educated," Man Bao looked at Bai Shanbao, "I can't get into Guozixue, but I can always learn from Taixue?"

Although Bai Shanbao is quite confident in himself, but the husband always said that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky, so he said cautiously: "I will work hard, but the Taixue only takes 500 people, so I may not be able to get in. "

However, Yang Heshu had great confidence in him. Now that Bai Shanbao is still young, his knowledge is not weaker than some people in Guozixue. It should not be a big problem for him to be admitted to Taixue when he is older.

However, Yang Heshu lowered his eyes and thought about it, not necessarily. After all, not only Guozixue, but Taixue can also rely on Zu Yin to learn, and the number of people is not less than Guozijian.

Yang Heshu looked downstairs in a blink of an eye, changed the topic and said with a smile: "The location of your shop is good, and the craftsmanship is not bad. Judging from this morning, the business will definitely not be bad in the future."

Man Bao thought so too.

But the situation was not as they had imagined. The new store was busy for two or three days, and then slowly began to cool down.

There are still many people eating in the store every day, but the number seems to fall from the sky to mid-air with a swipe.

For the first time, the restaurant has not sold all the prepared ingredients, and there are still many left.

Zhou Dalang and the others were not stupid, after careful attention, they discovered that quite a few of the guests who came to eat here in the previous three days were provided by people from other restaurants in the city.

Perhaps after eating all kinds of things made by their family and knowing the truth, they stopped coming to the door.

The number of guests decreased a lot.

Plus some people who like to join in the fun, they may prefer to buy some food nearby, so naturally they don't come.

Zhou Dalang and the others thought about this, so they were not in a hurry, "The business depends on whether the shop is old or not. It seems that there will be less ingredients prepared tomorrow."

Little Qian nodded, "Let the rest of the family go back. Since there are fewer people, there is no need to delay so many people here. The children are going to go to school too."

"It's enough to have me and Lao Liu in the front, but can you do it alone later?"

"I guess it won't work in a while, I want to ask my eldest sister to stay."

Zhou Dalang thought for a while and said, "It's fine, sister will help you."

The husband and wife made a decision like this, and the others naturally listened to them. Zhou Dalang and Saturday Lang have also practiced in the past three days. Now the number of guests is not as many as the previous two days, so it is not a big problem to deal with the previous ones.

And the kitchen is no problem, Xiaoqian is used to kitchen work.

Everyone went home in a hurry, but the old Zhou Tou only told him: "For things like rice noodles, you can get them from home, and if you don't have enough, you can buy them from the village. Don't buy them from grain shops. They are too expensive and not worth it."

He said: "This year, the grain grown at home will not be sold outside, and it will be left to you for business. As for beans, you can manage enough. If you don't have enough at home, it's easy to buy from the village."
