“Those dishes are indeed not bad. Where are the cooks?” Zhou Ying nodded.
“I have temporarily arranged for them to be in the west wing.” After Qi Lin finished speaking, he brought her to the west wing.
As soon as she entered the west wing, she saw an old man and a young man. The two thin men were sitting at a table, eating their dinner.
When they saw her enter, they immediately stood up and said, “Xie Chengcai, Zhang Daquan, greets Mistress.”
“Have a seat. I’ve tried your cooking. It’s delicious.
“I wonder if you have any other conditions. If not, you can sign your contract now.”
“The employment contract, right?”
“Yes, Qi Lin has already told me about your situation. I respect your opinion.
“However, I have to make two things clear in advance. First, you have to be absolutely loyal to the restaurant. Second, you must listen to orders and not be arrogant because of your skills.

“Of course, I will do my best to ensure your and your family’s safety.
“If anyone comes looking for trouble with you, you can tell the manager or come to me directly. I’ll help you solve those problems. Do you have any questions?” Zhou Ying asked.
The master and disciple looked at each other and shook their heads. “No more.”
“Alright. Chef Xie will be paid ten taels per month, and Chef Zhang will be paid two taels per month. In the future, we will recalculate your salary according to the restaurant’s income and your performance.”
“Thank you, Mistress.” Both of them heaved a sigh of relief.
This monthly salary was much higher than they had imagined.
Both parties signed an employment agreement. Of course, the conditions and requirements were clearly written in it.
Chef Xie put away the agreement and asked with an embarrassed look, “Mistress, I wonder if you can advance us a month’s worth of salary, especially for Daquan. His family needs it urgently.”
“Sure.
“Also, the restaurant’s backyard has been cleaned up, and you can also live there. You can familiarize yourself with the menu with the others while dividing the work.
“In the future, Chef Xie would be the head chef, and Qi Lin would be his second in command.” Zhou Ying looked at Qi Lin and said, “Learn well. You’ll have to take the lead when it’s time to open a branch.”
“Understood, Mistress.” Qi Lin nodded.
Although he was a little disappointed, he also understood that he could only manage a kitchen in their residence. He had never come into contact with the kitchen of a restaurant, so he was really not confident in running it by himself.
After that, he gave them some instructions and asked them to look for Niu Fugui.
In the following days, the capital was tranquil. Everyone was preparing for the final gamble.
In the meantime, Zhou Huaiming sold all the rose tea he had shipped in less than ten days for ten taels of silver per pound.
Sun Hongliang stayed in the capital for ten days and discussed with Niu Fugui and Qi Lin restaurant management.
Then, he took the money for the rose tea and went back.
A month later, the restaurant opened as scheduled when the weather was still hot.
Therefore, Zhou Ying asked the restaurant to add watermelon with crushed ice, iced herbal tea, sour plum drinks, and other cold drinks. She also added some manual-cranked fans and several exhaust fans. Therefore, business was booming throughout the day.
Especially at night, eating barbecue has become a trend.
Even the Emperor and Empress Dowager sneaked out to have a good meal.
Of course, Gu Chenglin’s purse was bulging with money after this.
Three months passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Zhou Ying was about to go to the manor to help collect some melons when Gu Chengrui returned and stopped her.
He brought her back into the house and said, “The Marquis of Ding’an has returned, and our primer has also arrived. Don’t go anywhere for the time being..”
