Rebirth in the 80's: The Daily Life of the Villain's Mom-Chapter 178: What Did You Come Back to Do?

Once people get busy, time flies by particularly fast.

A few people were focused on making clothes, and the three at the front occasionally came over to take clothes out for ironing.

The whole small wardrobe had seven people, all busy to the point of losing track of time.

Even though the clock was hanging right on the wall, no one bothered to glance at it.

It wasn’t until Pei Huai arrived with the food that Jiang Ran realized it was time to eat.

She looked up at the clock; it was exactly twelve.

Jiang Ran: Pei Huai is so punctual!

Eating wasn’t allowed in the workspace. Even if the oily soup wouldn’t stain the fabric, the smell would cling to it.

Luckily, there was another room used as a reception area, equipped with tables, chairs, and a coffee table. Everyone gathered there to eat, while Pei Huai stayed in the shop area, helping to watch over the store.

Xia Qiufang looked at the food, feeling a bit hesitant.

"Sister Ranran, how about I go to the front and let Brother Pei come here to eat first?"

Jiang Ran knew Xia Qiufang was being considerate, so she patted her on the shoulder, "You don’t have to worry about him. He won’t come eat with us. Look at us, just young girls here; he’d feel awkward joining us for a meal! He’ll eat later with Pei Yang and Shanshan."

Hearing Jiang Ran’s words, Xia Qiufang felt it made sense, so she didn’t say more and started eating.

The meals had been pre-ordered by Jiang Ran earlier with Pei Yang.

Each person got a rice bowl topped with dishes and a seaweed egg drop soup.

The rice bowl had two dishes, one meat, and one vegetable.

Today’s was shredded potatoes and stir-fried chili with pork, and tomorrow it might change to something else.

The stir-fried chili with pork had more chili than pork.

It wasn’t that Jiang Ran was reluctant to let them eat well, but it wasn’t necessary.

A little kindness for a meal, a grudge for a bushel; she hired them to work, not to be worshiped as ancestors. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

The small wardrobe just opened. If she gave them lavish meals right away, how would they perceive it?

In this era, a private business that provided meals, with white rice and meat, was already considered quite good.

Judging by the surprise in the girls’ eyes, Jiang Ran knew the meals she prepared were too generous.

However, Jiang Ran didn’t plan to cut back.

She had to eat lunch too, and she couldn’t compromise on the quality.

Moreover, she wanted them to feel the benefits of staying, with good food and high wages, so they’d work even harder.

Jiang Ran had set the lunch break to be one hour.

From twelve to one.

After eating, everyone washed their lunchboxes clean, rested briefly, and then returned to their workstations.

Jiang Ran wasn’t in a hurry to go back to work and went to find Pei Huai instead.

"You should go back and eat now."

Pei Huai nodded, "Okay."

Looking at Pei Huai, Jiang Ran hesitated for a moment and then said, "From now on, you don’t need to come to deliver lunch. I’ll organize the employees to take turns picking up meals, having you run around isn’t practical."

It was too much of a waste of Pei Huai’s time.

Pei Huai wasn’t like a delivery service, unable to do anything else but bring them food daily on a schedule, right?

"You’ve been too busy these days, and I wasn’t busy, so I helped with the delivery. Since you’ve arranged it, let’s go with your plan!"

Hearing Pei Huai agree, Jiang Ran felt relieved.

She was really afraid Pei Huai would insist on bringing the meals, saying he was willing to do it.

Thankfully, Pei Huai was sensible.

"Oh, by the way, what are you planning to do when you get back?"
