Chapter 166 Not the taste
On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, the shops were only open for business half a day. After lunch, the shops closed and it was officially time for the New Year holiday.

Lin Chuxia gathered all the employees at the bun shop and began to distribute this month’s wages, bonuses and holiday benefits.

Since we were notified early in the morning, everyone’s faces were full of anticipation and joy.

Especially the new employees, it was their first time to go to work.

In the past, I made some money by helping my family grow and sell vegetables, but that was all family money. Today, I really make money in my own name.

“Is everyone here?”

Lin Chuxia came over with a stack of red envelopes, glanced at the people who came, and seeing that the number of people was correct, she cleared her throat.

“Thank you all for your hard work this year. We hope that our Qinji Baozi Shop and Xiayang Food will be better in the coming year. We will start distributing money now.”

Hou Xiaobao was the first to clapped excitedly.

Lin Chuxia began to call out people’s names amid laughter and applause.

First came a few newcomers, “Sun Liangdong…”

“To!”

Sun Liangdong stood up straight and shouted in a loud voice, which caused everyone to laugh again.

Lin Chuxia also smiled, “Don’t be so nervous. You have worked overtime to make cooked food this month and completed all our orders. You have made an invaluable contribution. Here is your salary for 20 days, 18 yuan, overtime pay, 5 yuan, bonus, and holiday allowance, a total of 10 yuan. Count it.”

Sun Liangdong didn’t dare to take it for a moment, full of disbelief and joy. He looked around at everyone, and finally took the money at Lin Chuxia’s signal.

Not only him, but also the people who came with him were all filled with disbelief and surprise.

It was agreed when I came that the internship period was one month, the salary was 30, and after becoming a regular employee it would be 40, and there would be bonuses for good performance.

They have indeed had a lot of work to do these days, and they have been working overtime to fulfill the village chief’s instructions.

They really just wanted to do what the village chief said, to perform well and bring honor to the villagers.

I didn’t expect that I would get overtime pay for working overtime, and there would be bonuses for good performance.

It was just over fifty dollars in less than a month. They could imagine how their parents would look at them when they brought the money home.

Lin Chuxia was also happy for these people. Despite the large order volume, these newcomers did not complain about the hard work. The village chief specially selected them who were literate and were proficient in using the machines.

This is what they deserve.

“Qin Yufeng, salary 20, overtime pay 19, bonus 2, holiday allowance 10, total 10.”

“Qin Weidong, salary 20, overtime pay 17, bonus 8, holiday allowance 10, a total of 10…”

……

After a few new people were assigned, they became employees of the bun shop.

Cai Jun, Aunt Sun, Zhou Hongmei, Zhang Guilan, Qin Lihua, and Chen Chunhua all do the same job, with a salary of 40 yuan, a bonus of 10 yuan, and a holiday allowance of 10 yuan, totaling 60 yuan each, which is equivalent to nearly two months’ salary for an ordinary factory worker.

Qin Lihua happily took the salary, “Thank you, Fourth Aunt,” and ran to Zhou Hongmei, counting the money with a smile.

Zhou Hongmei laughed at her for being a money-grubber. Qin Lihua whispered, “My mother said that she would save all my salary for me as my dowry. I have saved more than a hundred yuan now.”

Chen Chunhua took the red envelope from Lin Chuxia, returned to her seat with a smile, and spoke to Ma Yingzi next to her in a low voice.

“Our boss is really generous. He gave me bonuses and holiday allowances. Last month, I took the money home and my husband was so nice to me. This month, he got 20 yuan more than last month. I’ll see if he dares to glare at me again in the future.”

Ma Yingzi nodded in agreement. “No matter what time it is, we still have to stand up on our own. Isn’t there a saying? The economic base determines the superstructure.”

“That’s true, but your husband Pang definitely won’t do that. You two are still doing the same job, and I see you are getting overtime pay. You will get at least 20 more than me this month.” Ma Yingzi smiled and said nothing more.

Soon Ma Yingzi, Pang Yongli and Hou Xiaobao arrived.

“Brother Pang, this is yours. Salary is 40, overtime pay is 23, bonus is 30, and holiday allowance is 10. Take a look.”

“Sister Ma, you too, salary 40, overtime pay 23, bonus 30, holiday allowance 10.”

Hou Xiaobao’s salary was the same as theirs, plus an additional night watch fee.

There are many orders for cooked food during this period, and the employees in the courtyard are working overtime.

Especially Ma Yingzi and Pang Yongli, they are about to live there.

The two joined their team when they started selling cooked food. Now they are considered veterans. Lin Chuxia gave them big red envelopes.

Hou Xiaobao joined the team after finishing his business. The raw materials were almost entirely provided by him. He would go to deliver the goods before dawn every day, and he was also responsible for transporting the packaged goods.

Running outside every day in the cold winter is not an easy job, but Hou Xiaobao never complained about the hardship or tiredness.

Even after coming back, he was not idle, working with Pang Yongli and his wife.

The most important thing is that he is really talented in using machinery and is the best at it.

After hearing the salaries of several people, everyone present looked at them with envy, but they also knew that there was a lot of work in the courtyard during this period.

Finally, there were a few store managers and a few people who came to do business.

Qin Han and Sun Lanlan received 100 yuan, Qin Wu received 113 yuan including business commission, Sun Bingnan received 108 yuan, Jia Liang received 124 yuan, and Su Wensong received the most, 145 yuan.

Finally, each person was given three kilograms of cooked food as a holiday benefit.

After distributing the money, everyone didn’t rush back home. Instead, two tables of food were prepared in the bun shop for everyone to have fun together.

Seeing that many people had gone to the kitchen, Ma Yingzi called out to Chen Chunhua, who was still standing there, wondering what she was thinking, “Chunhua, come on, let’s go pick some vegetables together. You’re not going to miss the party, are you?”

“okay……”

Chen Chunhua came to her senses, got up and went to the kitchen.

Looking at Ma Yingzi in front of me, I felt uncomfortable.

She thought she only earned ten yuan more than her, and said twenty yuan just to make her happy. Unexpectedly, Ma Yingzi earned more than forty yuan more than her.

Her husband’s monthly salary is less than 40 yuan, which means Ma Yingzi’s salary alone is enough for the whole couple.

Lin Chuxia also wanted to go and take a look, but then she saw Hou Xiaobao coming over, looking as if hesitant to say something.

“What’s wrong? Where are you planning to go for the Spring Festival?”

After Hou Xiaobao’s family knew that Hou Xiaobao was working in the bun shop, they approached him once. It seemed that the child of his eldest brother wanted to go to school and wanted to borrow tuition from him, but Hou Xiaobao refused in the name of the house.

If he wants tuition, he can do that and return the house that belongs to him to him.

In the beginning, Boss Hou drove him out and occupied his house because he didn’t learn well. Now that he has learned well, if he still wants to acknowledge him as his brother, he should return the house to him.

Boss Hou didn’t seem to expect that he would want the house, and finally left cursing.

I didn’t get the money, and of course, I didn’t want to give the house either.
