A-class set meal, which is rice with four dishes and one soup, can feed four people, and is priced at one tael of silver.
The second-class set meal is rice with one meat, one vegetable and one soup. It is enough for two people and is priced at 500 Wen.
The C-level set meal is rice plus a meat dish and a complimentary side dish, priced at 100 yuan.
Ding et al.'s set meal is steamed rice mixed with japonica rice and millet, plus a vegetarian dish and a complimentary side dish, priced at 50 yuan.
This price was strictly determined after everyone discussed it.
A, B, and C are for guests, while D and so on are for slaves.
The village chief originally thought that vegetables were not valuable and the price should be set lower.
But Li Laoer insisted that he would rather give away more side dishes than lower the price.
Because once the price is set, winter green vegetables are expensive, but it is difficult to increase the price.
On the contrary, as a gift of food, no matter how much it is, it will make the guests happy, and Ruijintan can also gain a reputation of being generous and hospitable.
Soon, Li Laosan bought the vegetables.
Seeing that there was nothing missing, Tao Hongying immediately started steaming rice with the women, while the naughty and stingy people ran around to count how many set meals were needed.
They have been learning arithmetic from Li Laoer intermittently for more than a year, and now it comes in handy.
The dishes were quickly announced, the prices were quoted, and the accounts were settled, which surprised the guests again.
However, some guests disliked the simplicity of the dishes. Li Laoer had already given instructions, so the boys smiled and said, "Because it is the first day to welcome guests, there will definitely be some shortcomings. I hope the guests will forgive me, and things will get better in the future. And it will be better." Our chef's skills are excellent, and your guests will not be disappointed
if they keep it." The guests just said it, but they didn't hold on to it.
Some people who had just met even got together and ordered a first-class set meal when they were happy.
But here comes the question, who pays and how much?
In short, various small problems emerged one after another, and finally they were all summarized here.
Li Laoer also frowned. He had worked as an accountant before, but it was also the accountant of Buzhuang, so it was not as trivial as this.
Jiayin has never managed a hot spring bath, but she has never eaten pork. She has always seen pigs walking.
After thinking about it, she took out the little mare in her purse and shook it at her second uncle. "Second uncle, my pony also wants to eat grass. You write it down and let it pay for it."
Li Lao Er heard this. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I hugged my niece and kissed her, but suddenly an idea flashed in my mind and my eyes brightened up.
He didn't have time to put down his niece, so he called Li Laosan, "Lao San, Lao San, come here quickly!"
Li Lao San was helping to light the fire and hurriedly stepped forward, "Second brother, what's wrong?"
"Yes, yes! Who are you looking for? " Carve some signs out of a piece of wood. No patterns are needed for the time being, just write simple serial numbers. For example, which courtyard has the number, or individual guest number. In this way, whoever has extra expenses can show the sign to record the account, and wait until they leave. Settlement."
The more Li Lao Er talked, the more excited he became, "When you have free time in the future, it is best to carve some unique marks on the back of the brand for easy identification."
Li Lao San is a man of few words, but he is very smart and also likes carpentry. , he immediately took the job, went back to the village, called a few young people to help him, and got busy.
On the other side, Tao Hongying led the women to fry and fry, and soon the fragrance floated into the valley.
The guests climbed ashore one after another, changed their clothes and got ready to eat.
After all the set meals were delivered and the guests nodded and praised them, Li Laoer and others felt exhausted.
In the afternoon, the guests who had booked the cabins and courtyards went back for a lunch break, while the individual guests played until the sun set and then left.
To avoid further confusion, mule carts were even dispatched to see off the guests.
Because some individual travelers hired carriages to come here, and there was no carriage when they returned, so they couldn't walk.
After finishing these tasks and preparing dinner for the overnight guests,
until everything was finished and the moon was at its peak, leaving people to guard the valley entrance, Li Laoer and others dragged their tired footsteps back to the village.
The village chief and most of the villagers were waiting in the Li family yard. Everyone wanted to know how the valley's progress was today.
Li Laoer drank a bowl of water and then announced with a smile, "Today we collected more than 330 kilograms of grain and more than 60 taels of silver."
Everyone looked at each other, and they were all a little confused. This was really too much. It was beyond their expectations.
When they reacted, everyone cheered!
"This is too much! There are more than three hundred kilograms of grain in one day, which is enough for our whole village to feed for three days."
"There is also money, more than sixty taels, won't we get our money back in two months!"
The village chief also said on his face . He smiled broadly, waving his pipe pot and banging on the table to signal everyone to be quiet, "Keep your voices down, we won't be afraid of people making fun of us if we spread the word. We have never seen the market. Besides, this is just the fee, not counting the cost and everyone." Where are the wages for the work!"
Li Laoer also nodded and smiled, "It is true that the capital has not been deducted, but the profit is at least forty taels. Similarly, there are a lot of problems, and they must be solved slowly."
The village chief coughed twice. He called Jiaren and took a pen and paper, "While everyone is here, the business is open. Let's make a charter tonight!"
Everyone nodded quickly and moved forward.
The village chief nodded to Li Laoer, "I'll say it again, when I die or get old, the second eldest son in our village will become the village chief. No one will object to this, right?"
"No objection, we obey the eldest son and listen. His!" The villagers responded almost in unison.
Li Laoer can write and calculate, has been a shopkeeper, and is smooth in his actions. Now he is stirring up business in Hot Spring Valley.
No one can replace him after all this!
The village chief then said, "My wanderings in and out of the village in the past few days have divided the work of our village into several parts, including the hot spring valley, the river beach, the two hills, and the village. We are a team in the village, and no one is divided into mountains. Whose land belongs to whose family owns the riverbank land, they all work together, and they all bear the burden together.
"But you can't do the work carelessly. The more you work, the more you get, and the less you get, the less. No one cares . Take advantage. From now on, the work in our village will be divided into three, six and nine grades. For example, like Hongying and Lao Er, those who have to do a lot of work and suffer a lot of fatigue will get more work points even if they are first-class workers. For example, light tasks such as sweeping the streets and looking at crops will receive less work points.
Someone couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, how many work points are there for shoveling the ground and weeding? How much does one work point cost? " "
Why are you so anxious? Listen to me slowly." "The village chief glared and suppressed the impatient young man.
He added, "I just want to tell everyone that there is such a thing. What kind of work and how many work points are there? When I have time, the heads of each family will study it with me. I can't let it go. Everyone just suffers. "
Li Laoer also heard a few words from the village chief beforehand, and now he also said, "What I told the village chief is that in the future, the entire village, including hot springs, mountains, and river beaches, will take half of the income. Half of the labor money is taken out and divided into dividends according to each family's investment.
"For example, if the whole village earns one thousand taels a year, then the five hundred taels will be divided according to the dividends, and the remaining five hundred taels will happen to be 50,000 taels for the total work points of the whole village. That one work point is ten cents. In your family If the child goes to see the melon field, he will earn thirty cents a day for three hours of work."
Everyone finally understood, and they all nodded heavily, and they all understood that the Li family and Mr. Ye were making a profit.
After all, the two of them invested the most money. If most of the income was used as dividends, they would get more money.
Someone asked, "Village Chief, everyone has taken advantage of this matter. Do you want to ask Mr. Ye before making a decision?"
