Prodigious Princess Qin Zetian - Chapter 14
A month later the two story building was done, the shining steel bars have been attached from the walls and to the floors. White and green paint enveloped the interior of the shop, the exterior appearance is covered with hard wood. Our family’s Qin carvings are engraved on it making it look like a modernized antique store. The unique second floor has sliding doors made of white diamond melted glass that enables sunlight to pass through. The first floor has standardized sliding glass windows still made out of melted diamonds.
The concrete floor was covered in large slabs of hard wood that’s covered with a shiny coat and can withstand a boiling soup without damaging its texture. The ceiling has intricate carvings, coated with white paint. But I told them to insert light emitting stones so the place is illuminated even without the use of electricity or candles.
The seats and the tables are carved extraordinarily, and there are shelves on the walls. I was planning to make paintings at home or buy some. I was very satisfied with the design of the building, it’s so nice and cozy. I told butler Zhang to gather servants and I will be choosing from them later. Right now what’s important is the landscaping of the plants outside. And the mutli-colored bricks should be attached to the wall today.
A week from now we would finally open the restaurant. I will still need to check the air ventilation of each room so it won’t get too warm on day time and not too cold at night. What’s amazing is the red colored roof that can only be seen in 21st century is what I used for this building. I felt satisfied with the total appearance of the place. A few more touches and I will only need endorsers.
“Young miss the servants are ready to be tested. They are waiting for you at the manor.”
“En. If they pass five of my tests I will hire them”
I want the people that I hire to be mix martial artists so if we encounter trouble it would be easy to solve and escape. I need them to pass an IQ test, wherein they need to have a strong memory. They need to be wise and smart. They need to have the ability to easily deal costumers and judge the difference between what’s right and what’s wrong. Lastly, they need to be polite and have a charismatic influence so their sales talk should be top notch.
From the long line of servants many people are left. And I’d like to test them myself.
“Whoever wants to follow me with loyalty shall reap benefits. It does not matter if you know how to cook or not, there are many jobs waiting in my restaurant. My restaurant does not recognize authority from people of nobility, I want employees who can never be brought by outsiders. Those who abide will be promoted fairly and those who works hard will have bonuses. While those who commit a mistake will be instantly killed.
The knowledge the I will pass shall stay with you and no one is allowed to share it. Am I clear?”
“Yes your ladyship”
“Butler Zhang hand them the contracts. I will not permit anyone who did not attend service trainings from me to work in my restaurant. I will teach all of you how to read, write and efficiently work. The words will be English and everything we will use is in English. The western cannot be used even when someone tries to steal it.”
