Restaurant Boss [Rebirth]

When Mother Xia came home, Xia Lin had already prepared lunch and was waiting for her to come home.

Xia Lin cooked a dish of green vegetables, a dish of sweet and sour short ribs, a bowl of tofu soup, two dishes and one soup, more than enough for two people. When Xia Mu and Xia Lin finished eating, they both felt their stomachs were full.

Xia Lin still wanted to wash the dishes, but she was pushed by Xia's mother to rest in the living room, "Xiaobao, you just came back, and mom is here to wash the dishes. Don't treat mom as if she can't do anything."

Xia Lin turned away from Xia's mother, so she had to sit obediently on the sofa.He looked at his mother who was busy in the kitchen from the living room, and felt that his mother seemed to be more energetic after not seeing him for more than ten days.

Probably because of new pursuits in life, Xia's mother became more and more energetic and motivated. Xia Lin looked at her and felt her eyes were a little sore.

Thinking of her powerlessness and inaction in her previous life, Xia's mother was still gentle and loving on the hospital bed, and she was still worrying about her love and career before she died. Sitting in the living room, Xia Lin clenched her fists fiercely.

——In this life, he will definitely let his mother live a happy and healthy life. He doesn't want to be rich, but only wants to be well-off.Xia Lin has the mentality of a petty citizen, even if he is reborn, he just hopes that Xiaofu will be safe.

In the afternoon, Xia Lin had nothing to do, so he followed Xia's mother to see the decoration of the shop. The design drawings were drawn by his mother himself according to his dictation. He still wanted to see the current results—even though it hadn't been long since the beginning.

When they arrived at the shop, Xia Lin watched Xia's mother greet those decoration workers familiarly, and communicated with them with a confident smile on her face, without any obstacles at all, and was very satisfied.

The change of his mother made Xia Lin more confident in his future life, and he believed that it would get better and better.

Xia Lin was watching from the side, and suddenly found that everyone's eyes were on him, so he blinked suspiciously, and looked at everyone puzzled.

Xia's mother smiled and said to several decoration workers: "Yes, as I said, my little treasure looks really good-looking."

Everyone nodded. These decoration workers were uneducated rural men. Although they didn't know what words to describe Xia Lin's appearance, they all felt admiration in their hearts.

——This kid looks really good.

Seeing this, Mother Xia narrowed her eyes, and her smile became brighter and brighter.

Although Xia Lin didn't understand what they were talking about, but looking at his mother's appearance, he guessed eight|nine points, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless, but seeing his mother's happy appearance, he was still happy.

The time with everyone passed quickly, chatting and laughing passed quickly, Xia Lin and Xia Mu also chatted with these decoration workers, it was not a very high-level topic, it was very life, but it was Had a great chat.

such as:

The decoration worker will ask: "Xiao Xia, how old are you this year?"

Xia Lin would reply: "15 years old."

The decoration workers will continue to ask: "Oh, 15, what grade are you in?"

Xia Linhui answered patiently: "It's the first year of high school, and I'm going to class tomorrow."

The decoration worker will also ask: "You are in the first year of high school, where do you study?"

Xia Lin would still answer honestly.

In the end, the decoration worker would say: "Well, then your grades must be very good. My naughty child doesn't like reading the most. If my child is half as well-behaved and sensible as you, I will wake up laughing even in my dreams."

At this time, Xia Lin couldn't answer anymore, but only smiled, and then didn't speak. She looked very cute and really liked it.

... Xia Lin answered questions like the above many times this afternoon, but he was not impatient at all. Everyone also had a very good impression of Xia Lin, and they all envied Xia's mother for raising a good son.

In this way, in the evening, the decoration workers left after work, and Xia's mother closed the shop, and then walked slowly home with Xia Lin.

On the way home, Xia's mother shared her thoughts with Zeng Ying and discussed with Xia Lin: "Xiaobao, your godmother and I thought about it, and we still need to find a helper to run the shop before we open the shop." .”

Xia Lin nodded in agreement, and he didn't want Xia's mother to be too busy, "Mom, we should hire some people to help. We can provide food and lodging, and then reduce the salary a little bit. Apart from us, we have the upstairs house." Where the godmother lives, there is also a vacant room that can be used by employees."

"When we were decorating, we directly surrounded all the rooms we wanted to live in and integrated them into a three-bedroom, one-living room suite. As for the living room for the employees, we can just do it a little bit like the old man did before."

The old man's shop is a kind of independent residential house, the downstairs is the shop and the upstairs is the place to live.

There are a total of five or six rooms upstairs, four of which can be decorated as suites, and the other ones can be used as dormitories.

Because the single room is quite big, there are still 25 square meters, so even after putting on two single beds, there is still a lot of vacant space. This kind of accommodation environment is actually good.Male and female accommodation are separated, so it can accommodate four people.

Mother Xia listened to Xia Lin's words, thought about it, and felt that the idea was very good, "This method is good, I will discuss it with the person who will help with the decoration tomorrow, and see how much it will cost to decorate the rooms upstairs."

Then, he said, "However, how do you do this job recruitment? Where are you going to recruit people?"

Xia Lin gave Xia's mother another idea, "Mom, don't you see that our small restaurant is close to many universities? There are always some students who need work-study programs. You can ask your godmother to help you at school. Because you are a student, the salary can also be appropriately reduced.”

Xia Lin thought of the many temporary workers he had seen in the shops near the school, and continued: "And you can also recruit some temporary workers, such as those who deliver meals at noon, or those who come to help at noon, and the money is calculated by the hour. Settle the money to them every day when the work is completed."

After hearing this, Xia's mother was a little puzzled, "If temporary workers are recruited, they must come during the busy period, so the long-term workers will have nothing to do?"

Xia Lin shook his head and explained: "No mother. Temporary workers have their work content, while long-term workers have work content of long-term workers. For example, temporary workers are only responsible for serving food, while long-term workers can be responsible for washing dishes Washing vegetables, these contents can never be done by one or two people.”

Mother Xia was still a little hesitant, "Then, wouldn't it cost a lot of money? The wages for the employees alone cost two to three thousand a month?"

There is indeed a problem with the salary, but Xia Lin is not willing to let Xia's mother be busy alone, so she naturally wants to tell Xia's mother: "Mom, although the salary will cost more, you will not be tired."

"But what if the small restaurant can't make money, what should I do?" Xia's mother was worried about the business of the small restaurant. After all, it was her first time opening a restaurant in a strange city, so she definitely had concerns.

Xia Lin comforted, "Mom, have some confidence."

Seeing Xia's mother still disapproving, Xia Lin thought for a while, and said: "Then why not do this first, just recruit permanent workers in the first month, and if they are busy, then temporary workers don't have to look for them." Now, let’s talk if you’re too busy?”

Only then did Mother Xia nod, feeling that the plan was feasible.

The two discussed as they walked, and they reached the door of the house before they knew it.Taking out the key to open the door, the two returned home, and Mother Xia was ready to go into the kitchen to cook.

Mother Xia is cutting vegetables on the chopping board in an apron. She is going to cook sweet and sour fish tonight.

When the dishes were almost finished, Mother Xia poked her head out of the kitchen and said to Xia Lin, "Xiaobao, go to the fifth floor and call your godmother, and ask her to come down and have dinner with us."

Xia Lin took a sip of water, put down the glass and responded, then put on her shoes and clambered up to the fifth floor, stood at Zeng Ying's door and knocked.

After knocking on the door for a while, no one came to open it. Xia Lin frowned, no, Zeng Ying should have returned by this time.

After knocking persistently for a long time, Zeng Ying finally opened the door belatedly.

Her complexion was very bad, she was pale without a trace of blood, her lips were unreasonably white, and there was thin cold sweat on her forehead, she looked very bad all over.

After seeing Xia Lin, Zeng Ying reached out and pinched his face, smiled, and said in a hoarse voice: "Xiao Xia, are you here to ask me to eat? I don't have much appetite today, so I won't eat, you Go tell your mother that I am tired today."

After listening to Zeng Ying's words, Xia Lin didn't say anything, but stretched out her hand to help her into the living room, and then raised her hand and tried it on her forehead with the back of her hand. Feeling the temperature on her hand was scary, she spoke seriously. The statement: "You are sick, godmother."

Seeing Xia Lin frowning, Zeng Ying smiled, "Of course I know I'm sick. I'm not resting."

"But you have a high fever." Xia Lin thought for a while, and decided to tell Xia's mother, "Wait, I'll go find my mother first."

After finishing speaking, he ran downstairs again.

After a while, Mother Xia followed Xia Lin up.

Seeing her friend sitting on the sofa with a pale face, Xia Mu's face turned dark, "Why didn't you tell me when you were sick?"

Zeng Ying smiled feebly, "It's not that Xiao Xia came up just after waking up before I had time to talk about it, and then you will know."

"Don't be poor with me. What have you been up to lately? I see that you don't get enough rest every day. Is it because of work that you are tired and sick?" Mother Xia walked into the bathroom, twisted a wet towel out, and gave Zeng Ying He asked while wiping his arms to cool down.

"...I was busy with the design drawings. Recently, the company was pressing for the drawings, so I spent more time on them." Zeng Ying not only worked as a teacher in the university, but also worked as a designer in an outside company.

Mother Xia looked at her friend helplessly, "You, what are you trying to do? You are alone, and after earning so much money, why don't you take it with you if you live or die? Didn't you tell me before that you don't care about money? Ah, why don’t you only charge me that much rent?”
