Chapter 367 Blatant

Li Zhangshu snorted: "Hmph, it won't be the best."

Seeing his mother and widowed sister-in-law turn pale, Li Zhangshu felt sorry for them. He didn't want to scold them, but recently many of his colleagues in the store had problems with their family members.

The Baijiabao Caravan pays high wages and provides good benefits during festivals. He had finally managed to get this job. Now he is the only one supporting the family, so he can't lose his job.

So Li Zhangshu made up his mind and warned with a solemn look.

"Don't blame me for speaking harshly. Those big shots have their own plans. We ordinary people can't beat them. We just need to live our own lives well."

"Don't be greedy and take things that you shouldn't take, otherwise you will be dragged into it. Those big shots will want to kill us as easily as crushing an ant."

"Those people didn't dare to confront the Baijiabao caravan head-on, so they looked for employees in our store and tried to find a breakthrough from this side."

Li Zhangshu's tone became serious: "Many of my colleagues have been lax about their words. Their families leaked some information and they immediately lost their jobs."

Then he lowered his voice and said, "Losing your job is the least of it. Some colleagues told me that they found that the people who were fired disappeared after one or two days."

"The kind where you never see the person alive or the body dead."

Li Zhangshu: "Don't the stories often mention killing people to silence them? I guess those people are afraid of being discovered by the Baijiabao caravan, so..."

“Ah, this, this, this…” Mother Li’s face turned pale instantly.

Li next to her also turned pale.

Li Zhangshu pretended not to notice and said earnestly, "Mother, sister-in-law, I don't want you to be like this."

"This world is tough. I finally found a job that can support my family. People out there are scrambling to get a job like this..."

Mother Li laughed dryly: "No, no, I won't hold you back."

Li also said quickly: "Yes, brother-in-law, don't worry, mother and I will not cause you any trouble."

She thought to herself, fortunately she was hesitant and persuaded her mother-in-law not to accept any deposit, otherwise...

Now that I think about it, there shouldn't be any problem if the money isn't collected and the work isn't done.

Li's mother was also feeling fortunate in her heart. Giving twenty taels of silver as a deposit was no small matter.

Forget it, forget it. The family is not starving now. The key is that she will take the money but will not be able to enjoy it. How can she face the ancestors of the Li family and the father of her child then?

Li's mother had an idea, which was actually to earn money for Li Zhangshu to get married and have children.

The Li family is poor. Their son is almost 21 years old, while other children of this age are already old enough to help with housework.

She is a wife of the Li family. If the Li family's bloodline is cut off, she will be a sinner.

Li Zhangshu nodded, but still worried, and asked, "Mother, sister-in-law, you didn't take any money from others without my knowledge, did you?"

Mother Li quickly waved her hands: "No, no, I didn't take it."

Li also hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, we didn't take it, we didn't take it."

Li Zhangshu understood after hearing this. If no one accepted it, then that meant someone had come looking for him?

Well, if no one was looking for him, his mother and sister-in-law wouldn't always ask him about it.

"It's OK if you don't collect it." Li Zhangshu: "I was named an outstanding employee. Mother, sister-in-law, you may not know that outstanding employees in our store receive bonuses."

"I can get an extra ounce of silver next month."

Li's mother was surprised: "How can I get a salary of one or two taels of silver?"

Li Zhangshu smiled and said, "It's not my salary. This tael of silver is a bonus for being named an outstanding employee."

Mrs. Li: "You mean I will be paid as usual, but this bonus is extra?" "Yes!" Li Zhangshu said with a smile, "So, as long as I work hard and get more bonuses, our family will live better and better."

Just think about it, the bonus is only one or two taels of silver, which shop can be so generous.

Forget about giving any bonuses, it’s good enough that they don’t find excuses to deduct wages.

But on the Baijiabao caravan side, each store will have quotas for outstanding employees, and the bonuses are real silver money.

If an employee has a birthday, he will give him five kilograms of meat and two kilograms of brown sugar as a gift. He truly treats his employees like family members.

"Okay, okay, that's good." Mother Li was very happy: "My son is really amazing."

Li was also smiling, but her smile was a little bitter. If her husband hadn't been drafted into the army, he might have been able to work in the seafood store...

The seafood store's business is getting better and better. We sell a lot of high-end ingredients such as king crabs and lobsters every month.

Many people who want to eat here have to rely on connections or make reservations early.

Even if you make an appointment, you sometimes have to wait for two months.

Even so, these people dare not complain. After all, the harder it is to eat, the more precious it seems.

And because they found that seafood stores selling lobsters, king crabs and the like were not punished, people became more bold in eating them.

When some people privately entertain friends, king crab and lobster are included in the dishes.

It's already mid-August.

The weather in August makes people who walk under the scorching sun always feel like they will be sunburned.

The teahouses and teahouses in Junji Town are doing good business.

But if we really have to say which business is doing the best in this climate, it has to be the igloo.

The Ice House under the Baijiabao Caravan is a chain store, and it is said that there are no less than 20 stores in Dongzhou.

The name of the ice house shop is as good as it sounds. Once you enter, the heat and sweat on your body will disappear immediately.

The store is always cool, and they sell a wide variety of ice bowls and cold drinks.

Someone has specifically counted the ice bowls in the ice house and found that they can be eaten every day for a month without repeating them. And those cold drinks, wow, you can tell they are delicious just by hearing the names.

Of course, the Ice House doesn’t sell ice bowls all year round. In the fall and winter, it serves seasonal hot drinks and some simple tonics, so business has been good since it opened.

The most surprising thing is that the ice house of Baijiabao Caravan can provide take-out service, but the fee is not low.

Even if ordinary people are willing to eat it once, they still buy it in the store.

In the ice house, the cheapest cup of bubble milk tea costs only twenty-one cents.

This is not the kind of milk tea that Bai Tao often drinks, but the one made with milk tea powder. When Bai Tao was in junior high school, there was always a stall selling it at the school gate.

There are flavors like strawberry, original, matcha, chocolate, and you can add pearls or coconut, or a combination of both.

As soon as school is over, the milk tea stalls are surrounded by students. Of course, the fried skewers stalls and fried noodles stalls are equally popular.

Bai Tao and her classmates could not escape the temptation of milk tea, so they naturally knew that these would also be liked by people in ancient times.

Sure enough, once this type of milk tea was launched, it immediately became the most popular drink in the store, even ice cream took a back seat.

There's no way. Not only is there less ice cream than milk tea, it's also more expensive than milk tea.
