Chapter 285 Xia Li Restaurant

Although Huo Beixi's conditions in all aspects are indeed quite good, this person is a little too cold. He never smiles and has no expression. I don't know how he gets along with Hua Xiali in private. If he is also so cold, then what's the point?
Hua Xiali locked the gate and went back with the watermelon. When he saw Huo Beixi coming out of the kitchen, he said, "My eldest sister just sent us some watermelons. I grew them myself. Come and try some."

As she spoke, she picked up a piece and handed it to Huo Beixi, then she took a piece for herself and took a bite. It was crispy, sweet, juicy, and had a strong fruity aroma. This spiritual spring water was really good stuff.

I hope Hua's mother doesn't give it to Hua Tiefeng, otherwise when he recovers, he will either run to his mistress or make trouble for them.

After Hua Chunli reports to the university and is successfully enrolled, she will have to deal with Hua Tiefeng and the mistress. She can't let the mistress take advantage of their family all the time. The salary and compensation belong to her mother, not the mistress.

Huo Beixi also started eating watermelon. It was really delicious. After eating it, he felt refreshed and his body seemed to be full of strength.

As for Hua's mother, she now only allows Hua Tiefeng to eat and drink normally, nothing else. She even doesn't let Hua Tiefeng eat half of the peaches from the tree in the yard.

She only made sure that he wouldn't die of hunger, thirst, or dirt. She didn't care about anything else. She had done well enough. There were people who did nothing at all!
Even if we have to blame someone, we shouldn't blame her. After all, she didn't get any benefits and yet did so much. People who got benefits, on the contrary, did nothing. It's like taking money to do things. People who take the money and don't do the work are the ones who should be blamed the most.

There was only half a month left before the restaurant opened, so Hua Xiali took his mother, Hua Chunli and Hua Qiuli to clean up and decorate the restaurant.

We also hired a painter to paint beautiful murals on the walls of the restaurant according to Hua Xiali's request.

Hua Xiali doesn’t like things that are too ornate, because they are too ornate and hurt the eyes, so the wall paintings are all in a fresh style, giving people a sense of the beauty of first love that is refreshing.

The first floor of the restaurant is furnished with half four-person tables and half six-person tables for individual guests and small gatherings. The second floor is furnished with large round tables for family gatherings and wedding banquets.

The current restaurant only has two floors. Hua Xiali decided to add a third floor when he has more money in the future, so that the "Xiali Restaurant" will become the tallest and best restaurant in the town and even the whole county.

Everyone visited the restaurant inside and out and was full of admiration for Hua Xiali. They didn't expect that she could build the restaurant so beautifully. It made people not want to leave after taking a look.

Hua Xiali wrote a job recruitment notice and posted it on the wall near the door of the restaurant.

There is one store manager, two chefs, two cashiers, and six ordinary employees, a total of eleven employees, all of whom are women.

Because it is difficult for lesbians to find jobs, she just wants to leave all opportunities for lesbians. Only by letting them have jobs can they improve their status in the family and then their lives will be better.

Hua Xiali didn't know how much other places would pay, so he used the income level of the people in the town as an example. The salary of the chef and the store manager during the probation period was 150 yuan a month, and after passing the probation period, it would be 200 yuan. The salary of the cashier and ordinary employees during the probation period was 100 yuan, and after passing the probation period, it would be 120 yuan a month.

It is very difficult to find capable people. It took Hua Xiali a whole week to successfully interview these eleven employees. The employees included both older men and young girls. She didn't care about their age as long as they were capable.

At this time, there were only a few days left before the restaurant opened, so they were allowed to come over and adapt to the environment first. Hua Xiali asked a tailor to measure the height of each of them and make work clothes for the restaurant for them, making one set for each person at a time. After all, not all of these people might be able to stay.

Hua Xiali also assigned tasks to them all. As for the person who would be the store manager to manage everyone, Hua Xiali would bring him along personally. After all, she would not come to the big restaurant often, so she naturally needed a capable person to help her run the restaurant.

During this period, Hua Chunli's college entrance examination results came out. This time she scored 630 points, which was much higher than the 591 points in her previous life. This was due to the spiritual spring water and her own efforts.

Now that the results are out, Hua Chunli is no longer worried and concentrates on helping Hua Xiali at the restaurant, while Hua Qiuli stays at home to keep an eye on the braised food.

Hua Qiuli still has to study and cannot spend as much time in a big restaurant as them.

Setting off fireworks was too noisy, and inviting a performance team or a lion dance team over would be too rowdy. After all, there was an office building just a few meters away, and she certainly couldn't affect other people's work, so Hua Xiali hired a film projection team. She paid for everyone to watch movies for free in the open space in front of the restaurant.

Chinese people love to join in the fun, so if there is a free movie, they will naturally come over. After the movie, if they are hungry, they will definitely come in to have a meal. Once they have tasted the food of "Xia Li Restaurant", they will definitely love it and become repeat customers here.

Early in the morning, Zhang Jun and Zhang Yongfeng brought the meat and vegetables needed for the restaurant. The employees quickly moved the meat and vegetables to the back kitchen. Fourth uncle and aunt also brought fresh fruits and vegetables that they had picked early in the morning. These were all grown by Hua Xiali on Huo Beixi's six acres of land!

The employees in the store, including Hua Xiali, Hua Chunli and Hua's mother, all wore work clothes with the words "Xiali Restaurant" printed on them, blue short-sleeved tops and cropped trousers. The trousers were black, which made them look particularly slim. If everyone stood together, it would give people a very imposing feeling.

Hua Xiali had already trained the employees for a few days, so the lobby was left to the employees to handle, while Hua Xiali was directing work in the kitchen. In a restaurant, the busiest place is the kitchen, and if the kitchen is not arranged well, it will easily become a mess.

As soon as the ingredients were delivered, Hua Xiali, Zhang Yongfeng and two other chefs started to prepare the meat dishes. Because meat dishes take a long time to prepare, they had to wait until others ordered them before making them, and no one had time to wait here for an hour or two.

The time Hua Xiali wrote on the flyer was ten o'clock, which meant that the restaurant opened for business at ten o'clock in the afternoon. However, a movie started showing in front of the door at around eight o'clock, and then people who were free came one after another to watch the movie. Soon, the seats outside the restaurant were filled with rows of people.

"Xia Li." The manager came to the kitchen with a nervous look on his face.

Hua Xiali's heart skipped a beat and he asked worriedly, "What happened?"
