Chapter 386 Buying the Manor (2)_1
In the back kitchen, Zhang Bo and his wife, Auntie Liu, and Chun Liu, along with a few others and three maids, were busy to the point they couldn’t lift their heads up. Luckily, with their additional help, they managed to keep up with the workload!
However, everyone was pleased with the booming business of the restaurant, after all, their earnings were based on the restaurant’s commission.
"Hehe, when Miss recruited staff and offered commissions, many people were unwilling to come. Earlier today, I bumped into my mother-in-law. When she heard that I can earn more than two hundred wen a day, she was filled with regret. She was the first one Miss had considered when recruiting, but unfortunately, she didn’t come!"
A maid chatted while scurrying around.
"Indeed, if our restaurant can continue to thrive like this, each of us elder sisters will have an income of seven or eight taels of silver a month. We could make enough for our retirement fund and even for our funeral expenses in the future," another maid chimed in.
Upon hearing this, Chun Liu looked at the talking maid and laughed, "You’re only in your forties now and still looking quite sturdy. Why are you thinking about funeral expenses so early? Enough of the bad luck!"
The maid laughed, "Those with no long-term concerns will inevitably have near-term worries. In my opinion, you, a young girl, should also start saving money for your bridal gifts. Otherwise, when it’s time to get married, without any decent bridal gifts, your future mother-in-law may not look kindly upon you."
Upon hearing this, Chun Liu’s face turned red and she lowered her head in embarrassment, not saying another word.
Aunt Zhang glanced at Chun Liu and told the maid, "As the saying goes, ’A good man does not eat food divided after family disputes, and a good woman does not wear bridal clothes.’ Only those without pride and dignity would rely on the bride’s trousseau."
