Chapter 102: Chapter 101: Trouble at the Clay Pot Restaurant

Of course, government officials also came, but they either ate alone or invited each other.

Generally, work-related dinners were held in state-run restaurants because they allowed credit.

This was exactly the time when offering credit was most prevalent. Otherwise, state-owned enterprises wouldn’t have gone bankrupt so quickly.

Lin Wan’s side didn’t have hot pots, and business was only increasing, but the casserole shop encountered some issues.

Zhang Shuhua said Tong Li had recently delivered fewer meals than before, missing five to six bucks, sometimes even more than ten bucks.

Their takeout orders were generally stable, it was normal to miss a few dollars occasionally.

But missing more than ten dollars was far too normal.

She was quite pleased with Tong Li. Unexpectedly, given the chance, he became a bit inflated and dissatisfied with his current situation.

She didn’t mind if they developed better outside on their own, but cheating her out of money wasn’t acceptable.

Before Lin Wan had a chance to talk to Tong Li about this, he seemed to sense something was wrong, called it quits and left, without even a goodbye. Very unprincipled behavior.

"This guy is just not right. A few days ago I mentioned that there were too many accounting errors, and he started arguing with me, saying the portion sizes had decreased. Aunt Liang always prepared the same amount, even with some error in serving, it shouldn’t be off by this much." fгeewёbnoѵel_cσm

At this point, Zhang Shuhua was even more worked up than Lin Wan; having such considerate employees made Lin Wan very grateful. She was angry about Tong Li’s actions, yet this kind of situation, however disadvantageous it may be for her, lacked evidence that he was embezzling. Besides, he simply left now.

"With this kind of thing, once bitten, twice shy. In the future, let’s keep a photocopy of their ID when hiring." Lin Wan said with a frown.

Liang Hongmei, beside her, sighed deeply; she thought ordinary folks were generally hard-working and straightforward, without much cunning. Tong Li, having worked together for a few months, seemed genuinely passionate. She couldn’t have imagined him doing such a thing.

Lin Wan assigned the accounting task at the night market to Xiao Gu. Xiao Gu, originally named Min Qinggu, grew up as an orphan in S City’s orphanage. At seventeen, once they grew up and found work, the orphanage could no longer take care of them. Now Min Qinggu rented a place outside to live.

When he first arrived, this kid was very shy. Speaking to people made him quite bashful. After a few months of training, he became much more cheerful. Lin Wan discovered his math skills were quite strong. When he did something, that’s what it was, very responsible at work.

Lin Wan handed over the financial ledger to him, as a sort of test.

Lin Wan’s beer wasn’t successful, but Liang Hongmei’s rice wine turned out quite tasty.

Lin Wan directly extracted and separated the brewed rice wine; the wine extracted would continue to ferment and bubble. To stabilize the sweetness and alcohol content, fermenting had to be stopped by heating with a stainless-steel pot at about 70 degrees, then naturally cooled down. The top layer of clear wine would be drawn out, and the clear wine would be naturally clarified for a month, removing the bottom sediment, then stored in a jar.

Lin Wan learned these skills later in life and had to admit that, though muddled in her previous life, she learned quite a few things.

After making a small jar of clear rice wine, Lin Wan had Mom continue brewing. She directly took this jar of rice wine to the shop and asked Xiao Gu to make a poster for promotion; a small bowl of wine for one dollar.

She wasn’t hoping to sell much, just for variety.

Before long the grapes would ripen, and Lin Wan could make grape wine. Thinking about wine made Lin Wan think of Li Congnan.

After passing the hot pot restaurant to Min Qinggu, Lin Wan started dealing with matters at the casserole shop.

Without Tong Li, Lin Wan reassigned the takeout orders to Zhang Shuhua.
