It was already past meal time in the inn, and there were no guests in the tea tent. Everyone was busy cleaning up.
When Song Qiu arrived, he didn't interfere with everyone's work. He went to Tao Zheng to get the previous account book and flipped through it. After Tao Zheng settled today's account, he called him over to report.
Tao Zheng first reported on the situation of the inn and tea shed for the past ten days, and then presented the surplus for the past ten days.
In these ten days, leaving aside the cost of food and other materials, the total surplus was twenty-six and a half.
Since the war has stabilized, the official roads have become busier one after another, and people passing by for business have continued to walk. The business has returned to what it was last year, and the daily income is stable and considerable.
At least Song Qiu was satisfied with this surplus.
She took away the twenty-one and a half taels, but still left five taels in the account for turnover.
At this time, everything in the inn was almost ready, and Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Li were preparing meals.
At the tea shed outside, Yuan Hua and Chen were still cleaning up, and Tao Dongping and others who had finished their work went to help.
Song Qiu watched and asked Meng Chaoqun and others to come over and talk.
Those who came with Meng Chaoqun's group were his wife Zhong, his son Meng Cheng and his daughter Meng Yingzi.
As well as Wu, Luo Daquan and Ma Liang.
They were all picked from Yahang, the county seat, and it has been more than three months since they came to the inn to observe and learn before getting started.
No matter where you put it, you can become proficient in what you are doing during the three-month probation period.
"It's been more than three months since you've been here. How are you? Are you familiar with everything?"
After hearing the girl's question, several people were a little nervous.
They never understood or were sure what the girl wanted to do by placing them in the inn and doing things that were originally done by others.
But fortunately, they were all down-to-earth and obedient, and if they were told to study hard and work hard, they would study hard and work hard.
Already familiar with all this, Leng Buding couldn't help but feel nervous when he heard the girl ask this question.
Tao Zheng, who was listening next to him, was also a little nervous.
The girl arranged Meng Chaoqun and others in this way. Now that she has mastered it, will she have to replace them?
So these days, the first batch of them all work hard and don't dare to make any mistakes.
These days, Meng Chaoqun has been following Tao Zheng to get up early to do shopping, entertain guests, check out accounts, and read account books. He is already literate and has managed account books, but now he just turned the one in the big house into an inn.
As a bookkeeper, he picked up the skills very quickly.
When he heard the girl's question, he answered with confidence.
Although Tao Zheng was worried about whether he would be robbed of the job of the shopkeeper, but thinking that he had taken over the job from Brother Du, he still spoke for Meng Chaoqun realistically: "Girl, Brother Meng will be the shopkeeper.
There is no problem at all. Whether it is purchasing or accounting, he is very knowledgeable. He is the one who manages the account books of this tea shed."
Song Qiu had long seen that the handwriting and accounting methods in the tea shed's account book were different, and he also knew that Tao Zheng was sincerely teaching Meng Chaoqun the tricks of the inn.
Meng Chaoqun really has no problem being the shopkeeper now.
She was satisfied and looked at the others.
Mrs. Zhong already has experience in the kitchen. In the past three months, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Li have devoted themselves to teaching. Mrs. Zhong has learned the special dishes of Songshan Inn to a great extent, and has even cooked them on the stove.
There is absolutely no problem in serving food to the guests’ tables.
Before selling her life, Mrs. Wu also worked around the kitchen all day long. Over the past three months, she has become very proficient in chopping and garnishing vegetables, and she has no problem making some basic dishes.
As for waiting tables, greeting guests, and arranging carriages and horses, Luo Daquan and Ma Liang were also very good at it.
Meng Cheng had a good memory and had no problem passing on and serving dishes. Meng Yingzi was also able to light a fire.
Song Qiu couldn't help but nodded when he heard what each of them said with confidence, and then said slowly: "I plan to visit Qingping Mansion after the warm house wine."
Everyone's ears pricked up, curious and confused.
Du Chuanfu, who was standing just behind Song Qiu, immediately guessed what the girl was going to say.
"Not long after the inn opened, many people said it would be great if there were Songshan Inn and Songshan Tea House in other places. Then they could have hot and delicious meals wherever they went, and it was also convenient.
"
"Hot and delicious meals can be found everywhere, but not necessarily on the official roads like this.
At least what I’ve heard from passing dealers is that even if they are rushing on time, they often have to stop in the wild to eat dry food, which is why our hot and sour noodle set sells so well.”
“So, I plan to expand another Songshan Inn as long as I have enough current staff.
The food must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step. The number of people I have now is enough to open an inn, so let’s take our time. The reason why we chose Qingping Mansion is because Qingping Mansion is close and we can travel from both sides.
It’s also easy to manage.”
"This is also an idea I have had for a long time. That's why I asked you to learn what you should learn. Now that you are all proficient in it, when the new Songshan Inn opens, it will be up to you."
After Song Qiu finished speaking slowly, everyone understood what she meant and they were all a little excited.
It turns out that the girl wants to expand another Songshan Inn!
Tao Zheng thought, it turned out that he was not trying to steal their jobs!
Fortunately, he taught him everything he knew honestly and did not hold the girl back.
Meng Chaoqun and others thought that they had other plans for them by asking them to follow others and learn what they did!
When we open a new inn, people like them will be busy with the work. Just thinking about the charter of this inn makes me a little excited.
I don't know if they can do it well.
If I don't do it well, wouldn't I feel sorry for the girl?
No, this must be done well! We can’t let the girl down!
Everyone looked at Song Qiu with bright eyes, looking like they were waiting for a big fight.
Song Qiu looked at it and said: "It's not that easy to open another inn here. At least it won't be open immediately in a short period of time. We must first choose the right place. Then Uncle Meng will take Ma Liang with me."
.”
"Before the inn opens, you still have to do what you are supposed to do well. To avoid being too busy and confused and confused, you should be more proficient in this matter, the better."
Everyone listened and nodded in unison, probably indicating that they would work more seriously and harder in the days to come.
At this time, the tea shed was also tidied up, the tables and stools that were supposed to be brought in were all moved in, and the food was prepared in the kitchen and put on the table. When Song Qiu shouted, they all gathered around.
This is not the first time to receive wages. Everyone stands in separate sides in an orderly manner, waiting for the girl to call, and whoever calls out will come forward to receive wages.
