Several head chefs came over, their hearts filled with a touch of worry.
"The reason I've called you here is to ask about the disciples you've trained. How many of them are capable of handling things on their own? I plan to take them to the county town in February to open a braised pork shop. No pressure—those willing to come with me can come, and those who aren't can stay with you and continue learning the culinary arts!"
"They will definitely be willing to go!"
Xie Zhinuan was known for his generosity.
They were apprentices in the restaurant, uncertain when they would be able to graduate, but following Xie Zhinuan to another place to open a braised meat and noodle shop meant becoming managers. Managing two shops alone, one could earn a vast amount of silver in a year—certainly at least a hundred taels, and if the business thrived, even several hundred taels were possible.
Thus, as soon as Xie Zhinuan proposed the idea, they were all willing to go with him.
