food storage house

In the dressing room, the teaching of wearing kimono is in progress.The teacher is Huo Yan, the student is Meng Yixuan, Liu Lu is not there, but went downstairs to work in the field.

An Chenyue's conversation with them was not long, only about two to three minutes, and then Huo Yan came into the locker room.

Huo Yan was persuasive, deliberately took off the kimono on his body, and used himself as a demonstration, explaining: "When wearing a kimono, don't wear high-necked clothes underneath, because the collar of the inner clothes is higher than the cross-collar of the kimono, it will be very inappropriate. The store has air-conditioning and constant temperature in all seasons, and we usually only wear a suspender and a pair of safety pants in our uniform." Meng Yixuan looked at the foreman Huo standing in front of her wearing only a white suspender and black ultra-short safety pants, wearing her loosely. That lavender kimono, I couldn't help but blush, this scene is too sexy, foreman Huo has such a good figure...

She was actually very awkward. After all, she didn't expect that she would be stripped like this today, so she didn't wear any camisole and safety pants, and she was completely in underwear now.She blushed with embarrassment, but fortunately only foreman Huo was here alone.

Huo Yan didn't care much, and continued to teach seriously: "After putting on the bathrobe, you see, the clothes have no zipper buttons, and are all fixed by the wide belt on the outside. However, there is a belt on the inside of the bathrobe, at the waist, and here is The key. First tie the belt on the right side to the inner side on the left, and then cover the left side on the right side. You see, there is also a belt on the outer side of the right side. Tie it on. Be careful, the left side covers the right side, so don’t wear it If it is reversed, it will be bad if you wear it backwards, and you will be laughed at."

"What happens if you wear it backwards?" Meng Yixuan asked curiously.

"That's how the dead wear it. The Japanese believe that the world after death is the opposite of the living world. So the left side of the living covers the right side, and the right side of the dead covers the left side. It's the same as Hanfu, professionally speaking. , is the way to wear the right lapel. These traditions are passed down from China, and if you have the opportunity to wear Hanfu in the future, you will actually wear this way.”

So it turns out, I really learned a lot today, and Meng Yixuan couldn't help admiringly said:

"Foreman Huo, you are really knowledgeable."

Huo Yan glanced at her silently, hesitated to speak, and finally continued the previous words:

"The next thing is the most critical part, the kimono. The most important thing is the obi. If you don't know how to wear an obi, you don't know how to wear a kimono. You see, this obi is very wide and long. First fold the wide edge in half and stick it on the waist On the top, reserve a length for knotting, about twenty centimeters. Then put this part on your shoulders and do it with me."

"Okay!" Meng Yixuan hastily complied.

"Well, yes, and then like this, wrap the remaining part tightly around the waist twice, then fold the remaining part in half and tie it with the previously reserved part. Spread your feet slightly to stabilize your body, and then use your strength to Tighten your belt."

"Hey!" Meng Yixuan really strangled herself so hard that her face turned red, which made Huo Yan bend her lips into a smile.

"Then, after watching it, fold the knotted part into three folds... Finally, turn the whole knotted knot to the back, follow the direction of the right lapel, and turn to the left, yes, ok, tidy up, it's done gone."

The whole teaching lasted more than 40 minutes. At about [-]:[-], Meng Yixuan was able to put on the bathrobe proficiently by herself.Huo Yan helped her tie up her long hair and fix it behind her head, and applied light makeup on her who never wore makeup.

"How about you take a look at yourself?" Huo Yan stood beside the full-length mirror in the dressing room, beckoning to Meng Yixuan.

Meng Yixuan stood in front of the full-length mirror, looked at herself in the mirror, and was stunned.She didn't think about it, just changed her clothes, and she seemed to be a different person.Kimono, it turned out to be such a temperamental dress.

In fact, Huo Yan was even more surprised. Before Meng Yixuan put on the kimono, she vaguely felt that the temperament of this girl might match the kimono very well.I didn't expect to put it on, it was beyond imagination.The unobtrusive cleanliness in her body seemed to be immediately highlighted, and the image of Yamato Nadeko appeared in front of her eyes.With just a little make-up, her delicate and beautiful facial features immediately became eye-catching.This girl's complexion is just a little bit bad, but her facial features are actually very beautiful.Especially when smiling, the crescent-shaped eyes and the pair of small pear dimples at the corners of the lips are really sweet.This apricot-yellow bathrobe is still a little lighter in color, if it is darker and more gorgeous, it should be more beautiful.

"Xiao Meng, you should really dress up well." Huo Yanyu said earnestly, these words came from the heart.

Meng Yixuan's face flushed, she knew she was rustic and didn't know how to dress up, but... Foreman Huo must have said it too bluntly.

Huo Yan walked to her closet, opened the closet door, took out a brand new pack of mask, handed it to Meng Yixuan and said:

"Take it, and insist on applying one piece every night. Eat more fruits, stay up late less, and don't eat junk food. Save more money and buy some beautiful clothes and cosmetics. Such a beautiful girl cannot be ruined."

Meng Yixuan felt ashamed, took the mask with her head down, and whispered:

"Thank you, Supervisor Huo."

Huo Yan sighed inexplicably, and said: "Xiao Meng..."

"Ok?"

"Uh..." She hesitated to speak again, she hesitated for a moment, and said, "Next, you can follow me first, and I will let you help me whatever I do, so that you can get used to the environment and work process here first. "

"Well, good." Meng Yixuan nodded.

So Huo Yan led her out of the dressing room and went downstairs.Meng Yixuan finally realized the beauty of the kimono. Wearing such a set of clothes on her body, she could not act casually at all.Her steps were small, and the big bow on her back pressed against her back. Even if she wanted to hunched over, her back was straightened unconsciously.Because her belt was too tight, she kept holding her breath, and naturally raised her chest and retracted her abdomen.The sleeves are too big, pulling the front of the shirt, and it is inconvenient to shake the two hands casually, so they can only be placed in front of the body honestly.She lifted it unconsciously like this, and entered lady mode.

Huo Yan's duty is not to receive guests, she is the head waiter, her work can be summed up in two words - coordinating.Deployment and scheduling of waiters, coordination with the kitchen, handling of emergencies, supervision of waiters' image and service quality, teaching of waiters etiquette, organization of meetings, and some intermediate items uploaded and distributed Work.

So Meng Yixuan followed her, but there was actually nothing that could help her.Huo Yan needs to go up front, but what he does is not systematic, which makes Meng Yixuan somewhat confused.For a while, I will deploy waiters, and for a while, I will go to the front desk to sit and work with Li Nan, the cashier, and for a while, I will be stopped by familiar customers for a few words.Basically, she will show up immediately wherever she is needed. Once she enters the working state, it will be difficult for her to take care of Meng Yixuan.After all, Meng Yixuan didn't come to learn to be a leader, and her master was not Huo Yan, and following Huo Yan was just running around in the food storage.After coming down from a Chinese restaurant, there is no other gain except to figure out the map of the entire food store.

The Chinese restaurant of Shizang is not as good as the dinner venue, and there are not so many diners.But it is definitely not empty, the store is still full of seats, and many of them are regular customers.Meng Yixuan followed Huo Yan all the way, and could see many regular customers greeting the waiters.Huo Yan told her that these customers are white-collar workers in the nearby business buildings, and they usually order a set meal at Shizang for Chinese food. After eating, they will take a nap in Shizang to spend their lunch break.In addition, two streets away from Shi Zang is the back door of Shanghai Conservatory of Music. Many college students come out of the school gate to eat at Shi Zang if they are interested.

If you are lazy and don’t want to come by yourself, the guests will order takeaway.Shizang has a dedicated person to deliver food to your door.The volume of takeaway orders is also considerable. Shizang has a total of two takeaway brothers, and they deliver a lot of takeaways every day.

But this is not the point, the point is, Meng Yixuan was at a loss until 01:30, the guests were basically gone, the Chinese restaurant was over, but she didn't do anything, and the new master Liu Lu also No conversation.Huo Yan is working at the front desk right now, which is her desk. She is crackling in front of the computer and doing something, as if she is very busy, Meng Yixuan doesn't dare to disturb her, so she can only stand in the store like an idiot. in the corner.

She stands at the innermost position of the front court on the first floor, only one step away from the kitchen. There is a very elegant interior landscape here, with blue stones, flowing water, bamboo and white sand, a typical Japanese garden.This landscape is also a sign that separates the kitchen from the front yard.

Standing in front of the landscape, Meng Yixuan stared blankly at the sharpened rattle bamboo, like a seesaw, with the pressure of the flowing water, it would "bang" the stone every once in a while.

"Ah, I'm so exhausted, I'll go to sleep for a while." Unexpectedly, the footsteps of clogs sounded not far away, and the waiters had all finished their work in the Chinese restaurant, bypassing the screen and the landscape, and came to the backcourt.This voice was the voice of the twin sister Dong Suizhi, and then the voice of the younger sister Dong Yousi sounded:

"Sister, let's sleep in the plum room today, where we can bask in the sun."

"Ah, that's too cunning, that's mine. You go..." Liu Lu's voice sounded, but in the middle of her words, everyone saw Meng Yixuan standing there, and her voice stopped abruptly.

The scene was indescribably stagnant. For a few seconds, no one spoke, just staring.Afterwards, the twin sisters showed an expression of embarrassment and disdain, looked at Meng Yixuan, and then looked back at Liu Lu.Zhang Beibei glanced at Meng Yixuan with empty eyes, but said nothing.

Liu Lu suddenly said:

"You go up first."

So the twin sisters pulled Zhang Beibei, who had been expressionless, as if she was "sleepwalking" and left here.

Liu Lu stood in front of Meng Yixuan, looked at her for a while, then smiled, and said, "Sister Meng, look, although I have been arranged to be your master, you are three years older than me..."

Meng Yixuan's heart skipped a beat when she called out "Sister Meng", a very uncomfortable feeling spread in her heart.Liu Lu's words continued:

"I'm really embarrassed to teach elders who are older than me. Otherwise, you can learn from sister Huo, she is much more experienced than me."

"...Ah..." Meng Yixuan didn't know what to say, she looked away and tugged at her wide sleeves helplessly.

"Sister Meng, I have a problem. I don't feel happy if I don't say something directly. I just want to ask, what is the relationship between you and r? R never said to use his power to Let people come in, we have to go through a lot of interviews and tests before we can stay. Mr. An... said that you have never learned Japanese or worked as a waiter, and asked me and Sister Huo to teach you from the beginning. "

Meng Yixuan clenched her teeth and pursed her lips tightly.

Liu Lu's voice was a little trembling: "r...I always believed that she was not that kind of person, and I...I also started to get a little confused. Anyway, I...maybe have nothing to teach you, that's all, um, sorry."

After that, she quickly left here and went up to the second floor.

Meng Yixuan froze in place, her body trembling slightly, the blood seemed to surge uncontrollably in her body, her hands and feet were cold and numb.Liu Lu's words echoed in her mind, her heart seemed to be under heavy pressure, and she could hardly breathe.

"Xiao Meng..." Huo Yan's voice sounded from behind, still so gentle and warm, "I'm sorry, Xiao Meng, it's my fault."

Meng Yixuan turned to look at Huo Yan, Huo Yan pursed her lips:

"In the locker room this morning, I wanted to tell you that Liu Lu refused to be your master in front of Mr. An. But I couldn't say it, sorry..."

"No, how could it be the fault of foreman Huo, foreman Huo... don't... apologize..." Tears rolled in the eyes, but Meng Yixuan tried not to cry out.

"Xiao Lu, she is straightforward, she can say whatever she wants, and she can't hide things in her heart. In fact, she is a good girl, so don't blame her. The person she admires most is r. In her heart, r is perfect. You eat and hide This incident was a big blow to her. In fact, everyone has doubts and even dissatisfaction. There are actually a series of procedures for regular employees to eat and hide, and veteran employees will know in advance. But this time, r alone Mr. An was also notified unilaterally of the decision he made. So people don’t understand why r would do this. Xiaomeng, I don’t think you are the kind of person who goes through the back door. Do you have other inside stories? You have to speak out and don’t let Everyone misunderstood you."

But I just went through the back door...Meng Yixuan smiled wryly in her heart.

She turned around and wiped her eyes with her sleeves, then sniffed and said:

"It's okay. I'm here to work in the food store. Foreman Huo. If there is anything I can do, let me do it."

Seeing her like this, Huo Yan didn't know what to say for a while.

"Gu~~" A rumbling voice sounded, Meng Yixuan blushed and hurriedly covered her stomach.Huo Yan suddenly said:

"Ah, you haven't eaten lunch yet, I'll take you to the kitchen and let the spare master make you something to eat."

"No, there's no need. I'll just go out and buy some food. It's not good to bother others."

Huo Yan showed sympathy, this girl... is actually a good girl.

"Come with me." She grabbed Meng Yixuan's arm and led her to the kitchen.

It so happened that only Mo Lin was doing finishing work in the kitchen.The rest of the masters left the kitchen and went upstairs to rest.Huo Yan led Meng Yixuan into the kitchen, and as soon as she saw Mo Lin, she smiled, her tone obviously carrying a kind of joy:

"A Lin, is there anything to eat, the new girl is going to be starving."

Mo Lin looked back at her blankly, then glanced at Meng Yixuan, and said lightly:

"Only rice balls, okay?"

"Yes." Meng Yixuan said hastily.

Not long after, Mo Lin brought three big rice balls in front of Meng Yixuan. The triangular rice balls with white rice and seaweed slices seemed to be the most traditional kind.Meng Yixuan picked up one and bit down, her mouth was filled with delicious aroma.Meng Yixuan looked at the stuffing inside, is this fried chicken with mushrooms?It was the first time she had this kind of filling.But, it's really delicious.

Thinking of that night, the senior sister also made rice balls for her to eat, her heart suddenly felt sour, and her tears couldn't stop falling down.Fortunately, she is now in the staff cafeteria, and foreman Huo and Master Mo Lin are in the kitchen next door, so they can't see her.She let herself cry silently for a while, gobbling while crying, she was really hungry, the breakfast she ate in the morning had already been exhausted, and now it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon, and she only ate a little something.So the three big rice balls were eaten up by her immediately.The sound of footsteps came from the kitchen next door, and she hurriedly wiped away her tears. The rice ball was still bulging in her mouth, which almost choked her. She picked up the barley tea in front of her, and while she drank it, she patted her chest and sent the food down.

"Wow, you eat too fast." Mo Lin was taken aback by Meng Yixuan as soon as she walked in. She just talked to Huo Yan next door for less than 5 minutes.Even though she was surprised, there was still no obvious expression change on her face, and her tone was quite calm.

Huo Yan, who followed in, tugged on his kimono for some reason, with a blush still remaining on his face.Seeing the empty plates in front of Meng Yixuan, she felt compassion again: Poor girl, she must be starving.

"Xiao Meng, let's have dinner with everyone in the afternoon, and R will come back then." Huo Yan said.

"Hmm..." Meng Yixuan replied.

"Wait a minute, follow me to the warehouse. There is a new batch of tableware coming in this afternoon, and I can't do it alone." Huo Yan said again.

Meng Yixuan hurriedly replied: "Okay!"

In the afternoon, Meng Yixuan finally had some work to do, and it wasn't until this moment that a real feeling of being in a food store emerged.He was busy in the warehouse until 40:[-] in the afternoon, helping Huo Yan to take inventory and move things.It wasn't until the matter was almost done that she suddenly realized that the dinner scene was coming soon.

Huo Yan, who worked with Meng Yixuan for an afternoon, began to admire this girl from the bottom of her heart.It's not for anything else, it's simply that Meng Yixuan is really smart, her hands and feet are very neat and diligent, her memory is outstanding, and her mind is extremely clear.If it weren't for this girl's help, the inventory of goods might not be over so quickly.Huo Yan seemed to understand why R unilaterally and forcefully recruited this girl into Shizang.

"Xiao Meng, it's almost time for dinner, let's go to the cafeteria."

"it is good!"

Before entering the staff cafeteria, I heard people's voices outside, which was quite lively.As soon as the door was opened, everyone gathered around the dining table looking at something.But as soon as Meng Yixuan entered, her gaze immediately focused on one person.She was standing near the door at the moment, smiling and watching everyone boisterously. She hadn't changed into the chef's uniform yet, she was wearing a slim white shirt, black slacks, and small leather shoes.The blond hair is half tied up, and the handsome features are always so attractive.

"Sister..." Meng Yixuan murmured subconsciously.

"Eh?" Huo Yan, who was walking in front of her, heard these two words, looked back at Meng Yixuan in surprise, and then followed her gaze to Han Weiji.

Han Weiji turned his head and noticed Meng Yixuan walking in, his eyes lit up.She stepped in front of Meng Yixuan and looked down at her. After a long while, Meng Yixuan's face turned red, and she suddenly said:

"I knew you would look good in my uniform."

The audience fell silent for an instant.
