food storage house

"Tonight's dinner, you can continue to follow me. When it's over, I'll take you to talk to r."

"Okay, thank you foreman Huo."

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the food and storage dinner venue opens.Meng Yixuan followed Huo Yan, while continuing to do odd jobs, while keeping her eyes open to observe the operation process of the entire food store and the details of the work of the waiters, keeping them in mind.Huo Yan also raised points by her side from time to time, explaining some doubts to her.

During the day today, Meng Yixuan was very out of shape.Until now, I have finally regained the mentality that a person who has been in society for eight or nine years should have.She came here to work, no matter who the boss is here, whether or not the employees here accept her should not be considered by her as a newcomer now.The key now is that she must get familiar with the job as soon as possible.This job is very important to her, it is not easy to come by, and she absolutely does not want to lose it easily.

Once people get it, it is easy to worry about gains and losses.Especially for a person like her who has nothing, and a little bit of precious treasure that she finally got, she is unwilling to let go even if she dies.So she lost her sense of normalcy, lost her ego, was timid and cautious, for fear that if she made a mistake, her treasure would be lost.And when there was a little flaw in the treasure she regarded as the most perfect, the disillusionment in her heart almost made her lose her soul.Why is it like this, shouldn't it be like this?However, there are too few good things in this world, and people are always struggling in adversity.

So after repeated blows during the day, she suddenly recalled her former self, the self who had never had a good day, did she actually have such extravagant wishes now?She should have understood earlier that there is no such thing as perfect in this world.The fault is not with Shizang, but with herself.It was she who was stupid, thinking that everything would be harmonious and perfect. She didn't regard this place as a place to work, but regarded it as a Utopia.

She will never make such a mistake again.

Huo Yan took the time to stand in the corner with Meng Yixuan, while watching the waiters busy, he explained to her softly:

"The work of a waiter is mainly divided into five parts, the first is to welcome customers; the second is to order; the third is to serve food; the fourth is to clear the table; the fifth is to serve, that is, to accept summons from guests at any time. In addition, there are preparatory work before the start and finishing work after the end, such as arranging tables and chairs, and cleaning. There are a series of procedures.

What I have mentioned are the most basic parts. After all of them are done well, there will be more complicated work.This involves a unique service in Japanese traditional kiosks, called Nakai service.In addition to the most basic tasks of serving food and closing the table, the content of the work also includes introducing dishes, introducing traditional Japanese customs and culture, and accompanying guests to eat and chat.When the waiter reaches the stage where he can do this kind of work, there is a unique name in our food store, which is called "up to the second floor".If one day you can go up to the second floor, it means that you have been promoted to Zhongju.

We often have to receive many Japanese groups. When Japanese groups come, they all eat in the banquet hall or boxes on the second floor.At such times, it is necessary for Nakai to make an appearance, so that Japanese can experience the traditional high-end caring service of their own country even in a foreign country.Of course, there will be many Chinese VIPs and groups making reservations for boxes or banquet halls on the second floor. As long as they are guests on the second floor, we will provide such services. "

Huo Yan paused, with a hint of pride in his tone, and continued:

"Nakaju's work, even Japanese women, is not for everyone. Let alone Chinese girls do this kind of work. It requires practitioners to be absolutely fluent in Japanese, and they are very familiar with Japanese etiquette and culture. Familiar, graceful and elegant in every move, knowledgeable, and able to deal with all kinds of topics mentioned by the guests. There are only three people in the food store who are qualified for the work of Zhongju, Mr. An, Liu Lu and I. If r is also included, There are barely four people. Therefore, a large part of the work of Mr. An and me is actually the work of Zhongju. Until now, Mr. An still often appears as Zhongju, and occasionally R will appear in person when there are insufficient staff. Today is a coincidence, there is no group Guest, but there are reservations for the boxes between Meijian and Zhujian, if you are interested, I can take you to open your eyes when the guests come later."

"Okay..." Meng Yixuan pursed her lips.She has already deeply realized the gap between herself and others. What Huo Yan said to her just now really made her realize how unreasonable it is for her to eat and store as a regular employee.There is a gap of hundreds of thousands of miles between her and the qualified Zhongju.

She said to herself: Meng Yixuan, it seems that the biggest challenge in your life has finally come. If you don't want to lose this job, you should just grit your teeth for the next few days.

Ever since she entered the society, her confusion about life has always been with her.To this day, she doesn't actually know what the job she wants to do for the rest of her life is.Without a goal, everything is just muddling along.She is alone, her own conditions are not good, she lives at the bottom of society, her job is not high, she is not interested in men, and she never thought about which man she would live with in the future.Her future is hidden in the fog, and nothing can be seen clearly.

At the beginning, I started working part-time, getting up early to deliver milk, washing dishes in the back kitchen, and handing out leaflets in the cold winter.Living in a dirty shared house with strange women whose lives are in a mess, they are exhausted every day to ensure their minimum food nutrition and daily necessities, and the rest is used to pay rent, water and electricity.Slowly, getting used to this kind of life, I gradually have room to breathe.So I often haunt the talent market, looking for a job that suits me.A company extended an olive branch to her, and she gradually got rid of her status as a wage earner. She began to have the awareness of social security and savings and financial management, and began to understand that she should plan for her future.

However, the job is still changing, and the people around her are constantly changing. Some are friendly to her, some are bad to her, some are kind to her, and some are indifferent to her.But no matter who it is, it seems impossible to stay by her side for a long time.Or, it was because she never thought about staying by someone's side for a long time.After the death of her adoptive grandmother, she was always alone, and no one came into her heart again.

Her heart was empty, so empty that there was almost nothing left.Only her adoptive grandmother who raised her, and Han Weiji, the only one she had a crush on when she was a student, have always cared about her.

So when Meng Dahai's family stripped away her little remaining kindness to the Meng family, she was already an empty shell wandering the streets.The 3 yuan was given away, along with her last extravagant hope for family affection.Since then, she has no relatives in this world.

That's why when Han Weiji appeared in front of her like a god, she was so ecstatic that she almost lost her composure, acting silly, as if she had regressed into a kindergarten child who didn't understand anything.Because at that moment, her originally empty heart was suddenly filled.Gratitude, nostalgia, and nostalgia that never disappeared were awakened in an instant, and her senior sister became her only one, the only one in her heart.

She didn't care about it, she would do whatever the senior sister asked her to do, she gave up and hesitated to think, gave up thinking about it, she didn't even figure out what the senior sister asked her to do, so she just He plunged in.

Then today, she was woken up with a stick.But this stick didn't make her flinch, instead it made her suddenly understand one thing.

Now that her senior has become her only one, this job in the food store has also become her career in this life.As long as the senior doesn't give up on her, she will never give up herself. No matter how hard it is, she will grit her teeth and get through it.She won't change jobs aimlessly anymore, she's in the food store, and she won't leave here.

Senior sister, don't regret it if you fooled me in.Meng Yixuan bit her lips, her bright black eyes were firmer than ever before.

"Xiao Meng? You're distracted." Huo Yan called her.

"Ah! I'm sorry foreman Huo." Meng Yixuan came back to her senses and said hastily.

"It's okay, I just told you to look there." Huo Yan pointed to the bar area in the distance, at this moment, the noren curtain was lifted, and a familiar figure came out, it was Han Weiji who had changed into a chef uniform.

She was holding a small black wooden box in her hand, and she was opening the box at the moment, taking out the kitchen knives in it and starting to prepare for maintenance.She lowered her head with a serious expression, standing there like a beautiful scenery.

"Today is platform r, you are lucky. Hey, it seems that the guests will be full again tonight." Huo Yan said with a smile.

Meng Yixuan pursed her lips and smiled, the word "eye blessing" used by foreman Huo really had a lot of meaning.Watching Han Weiji cook is a kind of enjoyment in itself, even if you don't eat it, you will be satisfied.Of course, eating it is a double enjoyment.

"The bar area is actually the sushi and sashimi area of ​​Shizang. The customers sitting there basically come to eat sushi and sashimi. Of course, it can also be said that they go to r. The bar area is run by r and Master Su Yuan When Mo Lin and the other three take turns to introduce r, the number of guests will increase by two or three times. Many of them were attracted by passing by outside. Pfft..." Huo Yan laughed to himself.

The face of their boss is absolutely male-female. As soon as she stops there, the whole shop seems to be dyed with a unique color and becomes charming.Han Weiji is so attractive, otherwise, Meng Yixuan would not have kept her in her heart for so many years.Meng Yixuan, who has passed by the food store countless times and saw the scene of the bar area being overcrowded, feels happy but also inexplicably disappointed.

Just as I was thinking of this, three women who looked like white-collar workers in the company had already entered the door, and under Zhang Beibei's guidance, they walked towards the bar area.As soon as they entered the door, they explained that they were going to the bar area, and they were obviously regular customers.Then when they saw Han Weiji standing in the bar area, Meng Yixuan clearly saw a bright and excited expression on their faces.

"Boss Han~~I miss you so much, why did you go there two days ago?" One of the women with big waves and big earrings sat down on the bar stool, propped her chin, and looked at Han Wei Ji said in a super sweet voice.Meng Yixuan stood far away, with goose bumps all over her body.

Han Weiji raised a smile on his face and said calmly:

"Thank you for your concern. I went to Thailand two days ago."

Eh?Did senior sister go to Thailand two days ago?Meng Yixuan was surprised.

"r has been in the country these days, and has not gone abroad." Huo Yan covered her mouth with a sneer, Meng Yixuan looked at the foreman Huo with a bewildered expression.

"Really? Travel?" the woman continued to ask.

"Well, it's mainly to find something delicious." As she spoke, she took a cup, poured a cup of milky white drink and handed it to the woman.

"The Thai coconut juice I just brought back, I invite you to drink it. It's been hot recently, so I drank the heat-dispelling beauty treatment." She said.

"Wow~~ So heartwarming..." The woman took the cup, with a moved look on her face, it didn't look like it was made, "I do have some signs of heatstroke these two days, it's already mid-October, Why is it still so hot?"

Another woman with long black hair beside her smiled and said, "Boss Han is the best, he can tell what's wrong with you at a glance."

Senior sister, you are so naughty...Meng Yixuan narrowed her eyes speechlessly.

"What do you want to eat today?" Han Weiji asked, and began to untie the long dark blue cloth belt tied around his arm.Seeing her action, Meng Yixuan suddenly remembered that the long cloth belt that Han Weiji wiped her tears that night was washed clean by her, and she was putting it in her bag. She had to remember to return it to her senior sister later.

But, what is this cloth belt for?

"Um... a full plate of tuna."

"me too."

"I want sushi, salmon with fish roe."

"Hi!" Han Weiji curled his mouth and replied, then held the untied long cloth belt with both hands, lowered his head, passed the cloth belt through the bangs and tied it on his forehead, and tied a beautiful knot at the back .The long navy blue cloth belt hangs behind her head, matching her golden hair, making Meng Yixuan's face bloody for a moment.

It turns out that this long cloth belt is a headscarf...

Shen Chen, the master of the water table line, quickly brought out a preliminarily processed tuna from the back kitchen. Han Weiji put the fish on the cooking table, clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and whispered, and chanted something similar to a spell before lifting the knife , start working.

"What was R doing just now?" Meng Yixuan asked Huo Yan curiously with a blushing face.

"Recite the mantra of rebirth and believe in Buddha, she will recite the mantra of rebirth every time before she kills. This is not superstition, it is just to thank nature for conceiving my body, and to thank the creatures in front of me for donating blood and flesh to maintain my life. I heard it was inherited from the teacher. That's what r's master taught her, so you can't do it."

Did senior sister believe in Buddhism?But she doesn't look like a religious person either.When exactly did senior sister start to believe in religion?Meng Yixuan frowned, looking at the senior who was "dissecting" the salmon behind the bar with a sharp and aesthetic technique, her strong interest in the past ten years was aroused again.
