NFBE Chapter 225: 3-cent bonus
Chapter 225: 3-cent bonus
Zheng Sisi received a lot of praise, and everyone praised her for being so smart. She was able to turn the feared red crayfish into a delicacy on the table, and also turn the wild vegetables that were abandoned by everyone into new dishes that were welcomed by everyone.
At the third prince's table, two foodies, Zheng Zhiyuan and Zhong Ruiyu, were madly attacking red crayfish, while County Magistrate Cao and Master He were much more reserved.
The Third Prince was peeling shrimps slowly and said with a smile, "You two, don't be shy. These dishes are all made by Princess Anping herself to reward everyone for their hard work. This red lobster is especially good because it's the first time it's served. You'd better seize the opportunity. You'll have to pay for it next time."
After hearing this, the two looked at each other and started to work. They gracefully peeled off a shrimp shell and put the white and tender shrimp meat with a little red skin into their mouths.
County Magistrate Cao said, "Mm, delicious. The meat is so tender. I didn't expect that the hard shell of the red lobster contains such tender meat. No wonder the guests are scrambling to order more. Two lobsters are not enough to fill their stomachs! The Anping County Lady has a brilliant plan, really brilliant! And this dish of the county lady has also solved the land crisis of the people in the Weishui River area!"
Everyone nodded in agreement. Once this dish was recommended, the red crayfish might become extinct in a while, hahaha!
Having started, the two of them let go. Mainly because there were so many delicious foods, who could resist the temptation!
After dinner, everyone had a full stomach. Zheng Zhiyuan and Zhong Ruiyu slumped on the stools and rubbed their stomachs like last time. Zheng Sisi warned them in a bad mood that if they ate and drank like this again, she would limit their intake next time.
The two kept begging for mercy. Later, Zheng Sisi asked them to support each other and walk in the yard to help digest the food.
It was already completely dark outside, and Manager Gao had calculated the accounts for this afternoon. Looking at the total of the numbers he had written down, he could hardly believe his eyes.
Manager Gao muttered to himself, "Ninety-eight taels and five cents, ninety-eight taels and five cents, ..."
A waiter nearby saw Manager Gao standing there blankly, mumbling something, so he walked over and asked with concern, "Manager Gao, what's wrong with you?"
Shopkeeper Gao came back to his senses: "It's okay, I'm just too happy, hehe!"
Then he ignored the clerk, took the account book, walked out of the counter, and went to find Zheng Sisi.
The waiter stood by the counter and scratched his head: "Manager Gao was clearly in a daze just now, how can he say he was happy? I don't understand." He shook his head and continued with the work in his hands.
Shopkeeper Gao came to Zheng Sisi, and the girls were there. He suppressed his excitement and said, "My dear bosses, here are the accounts for this afternoon. Please take a look."
Zheng Sisi took the account book and took a look at it, then handed it to He Qianqian: "Qianqian, Ziyan, Zhimin, the account book will be handed over to the three of you from now on. I just need to know the total amount."
He Qianqian took the account book and said excitedly, "Don't worry, Sister Sisi, we promise to complete the task and not miss a single number."
They were finally able to put their talents to good use, so of course they were happy.
Zheng Sisi said to Manager Gao, "Ninety-eight taels and five cents is not bad. I didn't sell any red lobsters today, so I lost a few dozen taels of income.
I have ordered 300 kilograms of red lobster tomorrow. I will arrange for someone to pick up the goods tomorrow morning. We have just changed the new dishes in the past few days, and there will definitely be a lot of customers coming to try them. I will arrange for everyone to help you here. Once things stabilize, you can decide whether to add a few more guys or keep the original team. By then, we should return to Beijing.
So, you count them, everyone will get a bonus of thirty coins today, everyone who comes to help will get the same, after all, you will need their help in the next few days."
"Ah, ah, thank you, Master, and thank you, Princess Anping."
Manager Gao saw that Zheng Sisi was so calm, and since there would be red crayfish tomorrow, he would definitely make much more money than today.
Shopkeeper Gao happily went back to the counter to get a pen and paper to count the number of people so that he could give out bonuses later. He had never thought about giving out bonuses when he was the boss. It was the county lady who was good at winning people's hearts! How could such a little girl think of so many things! Shopkeeper Gao sighed.
