Chapter 216 Work Arrangement
The few of them didn't have to wait long before Captain Zhao led people into the restaurant, and it wasn't just one person who came.
Magistrate Cao and Lawyer He happened to be in the county government office. When they heard that the Third Prince and Princess Anping had returned, they said they wanted to come too.
The two of them went to inspect the blacksmith shop and the carpenter shop in the morning, and the progress of the two shops was very good. County Magistrate Cao was still thinking about when to find the third prince to report. Now he was in the county town and had bought a restaurant. The two of them followed him without any delay.
Several people entered the restaurant, bowed and greeted the Third Prince, and also greeted Zheng Sisi and others.
The third prince asked the chief clerk to handle the transfer procedures of the restaurant first.
There were really seven people's names written on the restaurant's contract. With the contract in hand, Zheng Sisi had absolute say over the restaurant.
She immediately made work arrangements. The Third Prince had something to discuss with Magistrate Cao and others, so she arranged a private room for them.
After asking the waiter to make tea, she ignored them and just said she would treat them to delicious food in the evening.
Captain Liu was assigned to go back to the farm to pick up everyone, including Aunt Niu and Uncle Liu's family, to the restaurant. He asked Rose to bring a box of seasonings from her room. He also asked her to bring some eels for the evening meal.
Manager Gao, the chef, and the other staff had not yet recovered from the shock of the change of boss before the new boss had arranged their work for them properly.
Several people signed a new work contract with Zheng Sisi, and all the terms were kept confidential. Seeing that they were the Third Prince and the County Lady, they would not dare to betray their employer even if they were given the chance.
Zheng Zhiyuan and Zhong Ruiyu were arranged to replace the restaurant's signboard. She said it should be replaced with a sign that reads "Food Brings Good Luck". Everyone agreed and felt that such a store name was very special.
They were asked to find someone to do it again today. The job was taken by Captain Zhao, who said he was familiar with the shop in the county town.
Zheng Sisi asked the third prince to write the words "food brings good luck" and handed them to Captain Zhao.
Zheng Zhiyuan and Zhong Ruiyu were freed up and reassigned to purchase ingredients. They just had to follow yesterday's purchase requirements, and the quantities could be smaller. The two readily agreed, asked the coachman to get on the carriage, and went out.
Zheng Sisi arranged for the waiters and kitchen helpers to clean up the more than 150 kilograms of red crayfish brought back today.
Zheng Sisi demonstrated how to remove the shell of a red crayfish. She grabbed a red crayfish and said, "The claws of the red crayfish can hurt people, but as long as you pay attention, it won't pinch your hand. Grab it from behind with one hand, grab its largest shell with the other hand, and gently pull it upwards to tear it off. After the shell on the head is torn off, it won't pinch you.
After removing the shell, there are a lot of furry whiskers on both sides. These need to be cleaned off as they cannot be eaten.
See? Its tail is divided into three parts, like a fan. Pinch off the middle part with your fingernails, and you can pull out a shrimp thread from the back. This is the internal organ of the red crayfish and cannot be eaten.
Then use scissors to cut open the back of the red crayfish to make it easier to season it. Finally, wash it with a brush. This will basically make it clean. Put it in a basket and drain the water. "
These brushes were taken out by Zheng Sisi from the space. Grandma used to like to use brown brushes, but she said the plastic ones were not easy to use. So all the spare brushes at home were brown brushes, which was convenient for Zheng Sisi as it saved her the time of explaining the use of plastic brushes.
The kitchen helpers and waiters got the hang of it quickly. They divided the work among themselves, some peeled the shells, some cleaned the beards, some trimmed the backs, and some washed the clothes.
Seeing that they were doing well, Zheng Sisi went to do other things.
Qingfeng was arranged to take people to the fields outside the city to find water celery and perilla, which are essential ingredients for making delicious red lobster and braised eel.
Zheng Sisi wrote another list of herbs and gave it to the three sisters, asking them to go to the pharmacy to buy them. The three were very excited to receive the task and went out happily.
