Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

"She thinks she has experienced enough, but in fact she is far from it. She can't even understand a form. Wait, she will come crying soon."

Sure enough, after a while.

Cao Leyao came in with a sad face.

"Huai Ru's mom~~Dad~~~"

"See, I was right."

"Speak properly." Qin Huairu patted Cao Wei: "What's wrong?"

"It's too difficult. Why is it so difficult?" Cao Leyao felt like her head was about to split. The question she was asked on the first day was to check if there were any problems with the accounts.

Well, on the first day, she found it.

Next, Qin Jingru started to take action.

The accounts are getting better day by day.

To this day, she is dumbfounded when she sees the accounts that are no different from before.

Is there something wrong with this account?

no problem.

Then what did Qin Jingru do for her?

She went to her mother to reconcile the accounts with full confidence, but was criticized by Qin Jingru.

She thought about it over and over again, but nothing seemed right. She couldn't figure out what went wrong. So she had no choice but to ask Cao Wei for help.

"When you look at the accounts, you can't just look at the accounts. It's okay. Go look around and you'll know where the problem is."

"That's right." Cao Leyao clapped his hands and ran away quickly again.

"This child." Qin Huairu sighed: "What did Jingru do to her again?"

"Hey, some tricks. It's a holiday, so naturally business is better during holidays than on normal days. She made a report of the previous profits and gave it to her. Let her figure it out on her own."

"You don't even know this?" This time it was Qin Huairu's turn to be surprised: "This kid, doesn't he know this at all? Business will naturally be good during the holidays."

"It's normal for her to not understand the changes in the market. Her concept of festivals is different from ours."

The environment in which Cao Leyao grew up was very different.

Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru's generation valued holidays very much, because on holidays, they could eat meat, which was one of the few times in the year, or if their family members were willing to take them out for a walk, even if it was just to go to the market, they would feel very happy. But this is no longer the case for Cao Leyao's generation.

When she was a child, Cao Wei would take his whole family out for a stroll every weekend whenever he had time.

That’s why, in their minds, holidays are not much different from weekends.

Over the years, she has not studied these things. Most of the time, she studies how to build a restaurant from scratch and how many things are involved in the process. It can be said that if she is asked to be in charge of building a new restaurant, she will do it easily. But if you ask her to look at business matters, she is still a little lacking.

But there was a way out, so he jumped and ran to Sha Zhu's restaurant.

"Aunt Qi~~~"

I coaxed him as soon as I got to his door.

Qi Su was amused when she saw Cao Leyao's expression: "What's the matter? Did you encounter any difficulties?"

By the way, I served her a bowl of clear soup.

"Oh, it's my mom! What accounts do you want me to look at? No matter how I look at them, I don't think there is anything wrong. Can you help me take a look and see if there is any problem?"

"No way. This is given to you by Jingru. I can't just look at it." Qi Su waved her hand and refused.

"Oh, Auntie, please help me~"

"No, just tell me what happened."

"Last month's sales were about the same as the month before last. I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Why does my mom say there's a problem?"

"Ah? It's that simple."

"Yes." Cao Leyao blinked.

"As for this matter, I think you should find a store and be a store manager. You should visit various types of stores and then you will understand."

"So troublesome?"

"This is not a problem. I don't understand how this store operates. How are you going to manage it in the future? You can't even understand the accounts. What should I do? Otherwise, why don't you stay here for a few months?" Qi Su was really doing this for Cao Leyao's own good.

"Well...that's OK." Cao Leyao is the kind of person who listens to advice.

"Okay, let's start today. Get ready. Someone come at a certain time and serve the food!"

"Okay!"

night.

Cao Leyao dragged her tired body to open the door of her home.

At this moment, Cao Wei's tea stove was already set up, and he would have a cup of tea after dinner. Qin Huairu went out for a walk. Lou Xiao'e was waiting for Cao Wei's tea by the tea table, holding a book. Qin Jingru was holding a notebook, thinking about something, adding something to it from time to time, and mumbling something.

Looking at this whole family, Cao Leyao was so tired that she couldn't speak.

"Are you back?" Cao Wei greeted him, "If you're tired, go back to sleep."

Cao Leyao waved her hands. She was so tired that she didn't want to say anything. She took two steps at a time and walked towards her room.

"Look, look!" Qin Jingru slapped the table: "You guys are the ones who spoiled me!"

Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes. "You are qualified to say that? But it's good to work hard. In the south, she learned how to run a restaurant. Now that she's here, she should learn what's involved. Generally speaking, two years of working under her is enough. It would be best if she could open her own store. That way, she'll be basically done."

Cao Wei served Lou Xiaoe a cup of tea: "Here, please."

"Brother Wei, are you really going to torture her for two years?"

"What do you mean by struggling? If she is willing to continue on this path, she must calm down and study. You have learned a lot over the years, right?" Lou Xiao'e took over the conversation. Although Qin Jingru always smiles, she is never vague when she has something to learn.

He is quite smart and can draw inferences from one example.

As for Cao Leyao, her level is still a little bit lacking.

"Then she will suffer a lot. She will get married in a few days..."

"You still have to live your life after you get married."

"Too."

Cao Wei looked at the sky outside the door which was gradually darkening and stood up.

"Where are you going?"

"Prepare some rice and put it in the pot. When she's hungry, she can get up and eat. I heard from Sha Zhu that our daughter is very tired today."

"Then go quickly, I'll make tea." Lou Xiao'e took over the task of making tea.

After a while, Qin Huairu came back with light steps.

"Hey, why are you the one making dinner today?"

"Why, I don't like the taste?"

"Look at what you said, where are the others?"

"Cooking for his daughter? Le Yao must be very tired today."

"I heard from Qi Su on the way that Le Yao is a very hard-working child. She served dishes all day. How could you, as a mother, bear it?"
