Restricting men from entering underwear stores is definitely not something a man would do in the future, but Li Qi has no choice. His purpose of doing this is simply to encourage women to come to the store. If he doesn't do this, Gao Yanei will
When the swinger doesn't have to squat in there for twelve hours, who dares to come in? In the end, both parties will suffer.
In the face of everyone's doubts, Li Qi resorted to the strategy of catching the thief first. He pulled the two leaders, Gao Yanei and Hong Tianjiu, aside and asked in a low voice: "By the way, do you know the current Shangtang?"
Who is the head of the hall?"
Hong Tianjiu said: "Of course I know, isn't it that Mrs. Xu?"
Gao Yanei said angrily: "Li Qi, you don't even know this, do you?"
After Feng Yinu retired, the head of the upper hall was replaced by Xu's mother-in-law. However, due to the oiran competition, Feng Yinu did not participate, so there was less excitement and it was not as lively as before. During those days, Li Qi was also
I was so busy with the affairs of the academy that I didn't pay so much attention to it.
Mother-in-law Xu? This name is so familiar. Li Qi frowned, and without thinking too much, he said: "Don't say I didn't take care of you, now I will give you a chance to get close to her."
Hong Tianjiu and Gao Yanei said in unison: "Seriously?"
Li Qi said in surprise: "Wow! Why are you so excited? Don't you two like to be granted the title of Niangzi?"
Gao Yanei laughed and said: "There is no conflict between the two. Who stipulates that if you like Feng Niangzi, you can't like Xu mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. I also like Sun Sansi."
"Sun what? Three or four?"
Gao Yanei explained: "How come you don't even know this? Sun Sansi is also the leader of the line. This time he lost to Mrs. Xu."
Sun Sansi? This name is really artistic enough. Let’s just call him Sun Buer. Li Qi smiled. Hong Tianjiu said anxiously: “Brother Li, what did you mean by what you just said?”
"Yes, yes, please tell me quickly."
Li Qi smiled and said: "It's like this. In order to promote cheongsam, Zhoujia Silk House plans to send a few cheongsams to Mrs. Xu to try. If Mrs. Xu likes it, Zhoujia Silk House plans to provide her with free cheongsams for a long time. I am now
How about I leave this task to you? I think it's fun."
Gao Yanei hurriedly asked: "How about giving me underwear?"
This guy is really hopeless. Li Qi said sarcastically: "Theoretically, send him."
"That's fine. Don't worry, this matter will be taken care of by me." Gao Yanei patted his chest and said.
Hong Tianjiu asked anxiously: "Then what should I do?"
Li Qi chuckled and said, "Isn't there still such thing as Sun Sansi?"
Hong Tianjiu's eyes lit up and he nodded vigorously: "Okay, okay, brother, don't worry, I will definitely handle it properly."
"That's good." Li Qi smiled and nodded. "Now you know what to do, right?" He said and raised his head to the group of young men in front of the underwear store.
"Understood, understood."
The two idiots nodded a few times, then ran over and acted as doormen.
Finally, these two idiots were dealt with. Li Qi took a long breath and said with a smile: "Mother-in-law Xu? Sun Sansi? These names are really shabby, but Feng Yinu sounds more pleasant to my ears."
After having lunch at Zhou's house, Li Qi saw that everything was fine in the specialty store and went back to Zuixianju.
When I arrived at the lounge in the backyard of Zuixianju, I saw Mrs. Qin was there. I simply called Wu Furong and Xiaoyu in and started preparing for the New Year.
Perhaps for many people, the Chinese New Year means rest and relaxation. But for the restaurant industry, it is the busiest time, especially in the Northern Song Dynasty, when ordinary people were accustomed to eating in restaurants and pubs.
Li Qi took a sip of tea and then said seriously: "New Year's Day is only five days away. During this period, more and more people come to the capital to visit relatives, and more and more people go to restaurants to eat. I'm afraid there will be more people in the first month of the year."
More. It will definitely be very busy at that time, so Xiaoyu, this time is a test for you. You must arrange your manpower well and make sure that every bartender can get enough rest."
Xiaoyu nodded and said: "Brother, don't worry, I will make arrangements."
Li Qidao: "Oh, and you go out and put a notice later, saying that our Zuixianju will launch a family banquet in the first month of the year, and encourage guests to bring their families to the restaurant for dinner. You can reserve a seat."
"Yes. I have written it down."
Li Qi then said to Mrs. Qin: "Madam, now that the accounts are almost settled, I plan to give a year-end bonus to all the employees of Zuixianju."
"This is what it should be." Mrs. Qin nodded slightly. She never objected to these things, and asked: "How much do you plan to send?"
Li Qi took off his shirt and said: "This is what I think. Most of our bartenders in Zuixianju are raising families, so I want to reward each family with two months' salary on a household basis. If they are orphans,
That's one month. In addition, for the group of people going south, plus five guan. And for the bar, the same is true. As for the workshops, just give them less, two guan for each person, and let them live a good year.
Already."
Wu Furong was surprised and said: "So many?" After all, year-end bonuses are not popular these days, so it would be really interesting to give you a piece of meat.
Li Qi was a little surprised by Wu Furong's attitude and said: "We have made enough this year, so we should pay more."
"But." Wu Furong frowned and stopped talking.
Mrs. Qin said: "Uncle Wu, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly."
Wu Furong said: "I'm thinking about whether to repay Yuan Cai's money first. Now there's no letter from the south. It's probably going to take a few months. I made some calculations last night. If I can get it together again,
, should be able to pay off Yuan Cai’s debt.”
Li Qi asked: "What? Is he here to collect debts?"
"That's not true. It's just that according to historical practice, accounts must be settled at the end of the year." Wu Furong shook his head.
"I don't care what is customary or not." Li Qi looked at Wu Furong angrily and said, "Old Fox, I don't need this little money to celebrate the New Year. We don't need to be in a hurry. Besides, we still have many projects to do next year. I don't want to see him.
When it comes to lack of funds, maybe that old fox doesn’t want us to pay back the money so early.”
Wu Furong asked curiously: "Why is this?"
Li Qi said disdainfully: "Now that we are so prosperous, who doesn't want to have something to do with us? With this debt, the old fox will be more confident if he asks us for anything, so don't worry about it in advance."
Wu Furong said the same thing when he saw him. He nodded and said, "Okay then, I'll just follow what you say."
Li Qi added: "I plan to take a half-day break on New Year's Eve and hold a dinner party to treat everyone in Zuixianju to a good meal. It can also be considered as a welfare."
This suggestion was quickly approved unanimously. This is also thanks to the fact that in Zuixianju, several of them are relatively kind-hearted, especially to their own people. If it were another restaurant, who would
If you make these suggestions, you will be kicked out.
Li Qidao: "While everyone is here, I have something else I want to discuss with you."
Wu Furong asked curiously: "What's the matter?"
Now every time Li Qi makes a suggestion, he breaks into a cold sweat.
Li Qi smiled and said: "That's right, our employees in Zuixianju are all from other places. They don't have their own homes in Tokyo. They all live in our Zuixianju. I look at the rooms in our Zuixianju now."
We are already very stretched, even Uncle Wu’s house is full. There will only be more and more people in the future, so we have to prepare in advance."
Wu Furong said with sweat on his face: "You don't want to build a house, do you?"
"Uncle Wu still understands me." Li Qi chuckled and said, "I plan to build a staff building."
"Staff building?"
Wu Furong and Xiaoyu took a deep breath of air-conditioning.
Mrs. Qin didn't care so much, and nodded and said with a smile: "That's right. We should prepare for rainy days. It's not a problem to always stay at Uncle Wu's house."
Wu Furong said anxiously: "But madam, this costs a lot of money."
Mrs. Qin smiled and said: "Uncle Wu, isn't it just for spending money?"
Li Qi laughed and said: "Madam, what you said is great. Money is meant to be spent, and people who can spend money will make money. No wonder Madam can make so much money. I don't think anyone in the Qin family can compare with her."
Mrs. Qin rolled her eyes at him and said, "Stop teasing me. This is all earned by you and has nothing to do with me. Let's talk about business."
This lady really can't even tell a joke. Li Qi shrugged and said: "Okay, let's talk about business. Uncle Wu, our Zuixianju is developing so fast, we definitely don't have enough people, don't you think so?"
Is there any other way to build a house?"
"Well."
Wu Furong twitched the corners of his mouth a few times and said sarcastically: "Then at least we have to wait until the debts of Yuan Cai are paid off first."
Sweating! Didn't it mean that the debt collector is the grandson and the debtor is all me? Why does this old guy always do the opposite? Li Qi said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "Okay. The design drawings will take so long anyway. Oh.
,besides."
"besides?"
Wu Furong exclaimed and almost jumped up.
Li Qi smiled bitterly and said: "Uncle Wu, don't be nervous, okay? What I want to say is that I plan to take a long vacation for myself, starting from tomorrow until the fifth day of the first lunar month. Oh, on the first day of the first lunar month, I will go to the kitchen to help.
"
"It turns out that this is what happened. It scared me to death."
Mrs. Qin nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, yes, you should take a rest." Every time she saw Li Qi working so hard while she was sitting at home, she felt very guilty. Now that she heard that he
If you want to give yourself a holiday, how can you not agree to it?
Li Qi didn't know what she was thinking, so he smiled and said nothing.
A few people discussed the New Year matters in detail, and Wu Furong and Xiaoyu went out to work. Li Qi was also about to go to the kitchen to arrange the menu for the first month, but was stopped by Mrs. Qin, who said:
"Li Qi, you have no relatives or friends in Tokyo. Why don't you go to my parents' house with me to spend New Year's Day?"
Li Qi was suddenly startled, then rubbed his hands and said shyly: "Madam, our relationship hasn't developed to the point of meeting our parents yet. Isn't this too fast?"
Mrs. Qin was stunned for a moment, turned her face, and hummed: "Pretend I didn't say anything."
Li Qi smiled and said, "Then I'm going out."
After Li Qi left, Mrs. Qin suddenly smiled and said to herself: "That's right, he will definitely go to Qiniang's house by then. I am too worried."
As soon as Li Qi came out of the backyard, he suddenly saw a person walking towards him. It was Zuo Boqing, and he said hurriedly: "Brother Zuo, why are you here?"
Zuo Boqing gasped and said, "Brother Li, I'm here to discuss the New Year's Day meeting with you."
