Chapter 73 The braised duck shop is doing very well, and they're hiring young married women?
"Qin Fang, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. How did I deceive your feelings?"
Liang Ming said with a nervous expression.
Qin Fang realized that her words were ambiguous, her pretty face flushed, and she said:
"You clearly said yesterday that you would come to the store to help me this afternoon, but you didn't come."
"I'm all alone in the store, dealing with so many customers, I'm as busy as a spinning top."
Upon hearing Qin Fang's words, Liang Ming showed a hint of apology on his face; he had actually forgotten about it.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I had something to do yesterday afternoon and couldn't come."
"How was it? Nothing went wrong at the store yesterday, right?"
Qin Fang rolled her eyes at Liang Ming and said irritably, "There's no trouble, it's just that I'm too busy. I have to slice the braised duck, pack the food, and collect the money. I simply can't manage it all."
"If I hadn't been so observant, I almost let those two people skip out on their bills."
"All 200 braised ducks have been sold?" Liang Ming didn't answer the question, but asked instead.
"They're all sold. 200 braised ducks, for a total of 1080 yuan."
Qin Fang immediately said:
"However, someone just delivered 400 ducks and 500 catties of duck feathers, saying that you asked them to be delivered."
The total payment was 770 yuan, which I've already paid for you. You now have 310 yuan left.
As they were talking, Qin Fang handed over the remaining payment to Liang Ming.
After taking the money, Liang Ming said with satisfaction:
"Well done. From now on, use the money you make from selling braised duck to pay for the duck meat first. I'll come back and collect the rest when I have time."
At this point, he pointed to the 400 ducks in the shop and said:
“Starting today, you’ll have to work harder to braise these 400 ducks. Keep 200 for sale in the shop, and I’ll come and pick up the rest at noon.”
"How much? 400 braised ducks?!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Fang jumped up, her voice rising several decibels:
"Boss Liang, I'm here to work, not to risk my life."
"With so many ducks, I'll be exhausted by the time I finish braising them."
"I also have to be responsible for the sales of braised duck, I really can't handle it all by myself!"
Upon hearing Qin Fang's words, Liang Ming also showed an awkward smile.
Although this pretty widow is capable, I can't just keep exploiting her.
If he really squeezes every last drop out of Qin Fang, and something happens, he will truly become a heartless capitalist.
"In that case, as the manager of Liang Heiya Braised Duck Shop, I allow you to hire another helper."
Liang Ming thought for a moment and said to Qin Fang:
"The wages are set at 40 yuan a month for now, and there will be bonuses if you do a good job."
Upon hearing this, Qin Fang's eyes lit up, and she asked:
"Boss Liang, can I hire someone myself? Anyone will do."
"Of course, not just anyone will do. It's best if they're hardworking, otherwise you'll be the one who ends up working yourself to the bone for me," Liang Ming said.
Upon hearing this, Qin Fang's face flushed red, as if she had misunderstood something.
But she still said, "I happen to have a friend whose husband is lazy and often gets drunk, beating and scolding her."
Now they're even forcing her to go out and find work. I feel sorry for her; could you let her work in our shop?
At this point, Qin Fang added another sentence in order to persuade Liang Ming:
"Don't worry, she's a very hardworking person, and she does a great job with everything, inside and out."
"So, your friend is really good at his job?" Liang Ming asked seriously.
"Alive, very well!"
"Alright then, she's the one." Liang Ming made the decision without much thought.
Anyway, they were hired to help Qin Fang.
After seeing Liang Ming nod in agreement, Qin Fang hurriedly ran to a roadside phone booth and contacted her friend.
Before long, a young woman with a slender figure and a curvaceous body arrived.
She was wearing a green floral top and pants, her hair was tied in braids, her skin was fair and rosy, and glistening beads of sweat hung on her forehead.
She seemed to have rushed over in a hurry, and was still panting heavily, her movements rising and falling, creating a rather spectacular sight.
"Boss Liang, this is the good friend I told you about, Li Cui. She's very efficient and will definitely satisfy you."
Qin Fang immediately introduced her friends to Liang Ming.
Liang Ming glanced at Li Cui's upper body and nodded, saying, "I can tell your friend's job is... well, very good!"
Upon hearing this, both Qin Fang and Li Cui blushed.
"Pah, boss, if you keep talking nonsense, I'm going to call the police and say you're being a pervert!" Qin Fang spat and said irritably.
This boss, as generous as he is, has a habit of secretly glancing at her legs.
Now, even her friend's breasts...
If Liang Ming knew what Qin Fang was really thinking, he would definitely cry foul.
He just thought Qin Fang's pants were made of nice fabric; he absolutely had no other bad intentions...
"Hello, Mr. Liang." Li Cui noticed Liang Ming's furtive glances and greeted him with a slight blush.
"Ahem, Comrade Li Cui, I presume Qin Fang has already told you about it," Liang Ming coughed lightly and said.
"I won't waste any more words. Starting today, you will help Qin Fang braise ducks and then sell them."
Qin Fang will teach you how to do it, and I will pay you 40 yuan a month.
"If you do a good job, there will be a bonus. Would you like to come?"
Upon hearing that she would receive 40 yuan a month, Li Cui nodded without hesitation.
"Boss Liang, I'm willing to do it!"
For a married woman, a monthly salary of 40 yuan is already a very high amount.
Seeing this, Liang Ming didn't say anything more. He simply gave a few instructions and left the "Liang Black Duck" braised duck shop.
After Liang Ming's figure had completely disappeared, Li Cui moved closer to Qin Fang and asked:
"Qin Fang, is this the young, handsome, and rich boss you told me about?"
"See? I didn't lie to you, did I?" Qin Fang said with a smile.
Li Cui nodded: "He is indeed rich and handsome, but I wonder if he is married?"
"What, are you interested in him?" Qin Fang teased.
Li Cui smiled bitterly and said, "How could I, a married woman, dare to dream of such things?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Fang's expression turned serious, and she asked, "Li Cui, how's it going with your situation with your husband?"
“He wants me to give him 600 yuan as compensation before he will agree to divorce me.”
Li Cui looked somewhat gloomy and gritted her teeth as she spoke.
"600 yuan? Your husband really dares to ask for that much."
Even if an ordinary person didn't eat or drink, it would take them two years of hard work to earn that much money.
Qin Fang said angrily upon hearing this.
In this day and age, when it comes to divorce, ordinary people generally advise reconciliation rather than separation.
If things really come to the point of divorce, not only do both spouses need to agree, but their respective work units, or the street offices and village committees where their household registrations are located, also need to agree.
Although Li Cui was frequently beaten by her husband, even the neighborhood committee agreed to her divorce.
But Li Cui's husband refused to divorce her unless she gave him 600 yuan. Li Cui had no money, so the matter remained deadlocked.
"Qin Fang, I really have to thank you for introducing me to this job."
If I could really earn 40 yuan a month, I could save enough for a divorce in less than a year and a half.
Li Cui expressed her gratitude to Qin Fang.
Qin Fang patted Li Cui's hand and said, "Don't worry, our boss is very generous. Just do your job well."
Maybe your boss will be in a good mood and give you a bonus, and you can save up enough money for your divorce in less than six months.
Hearing Qin Fang's words, Li Cui looked in the direction Liang Ming had left and murmured softly:
"If that's really the case, I'll do anything he asks me to..."
