"We opened a shop on Zhongxin Street to sell food. There are usually too many customers and my husband and I are too busy. We are short of a guy to greet the customers. Would you like to do it?" Li Yu looked at him with a smile and asked.

Brother Dong opened his mouth slightly, but before he could react, his benefactor wanted to recruit him as a buddy?

His work in the grain store was not easy. On weekdays, he had to carry rice and noodles, pick coarse rice and miscellaneous rice into categories, clean the shop and do some chores. The wages were [-] Wen.

Brother Dong is a brother, and he can't do heavy work like a man. Although it is not easy to work in the grain store, the only advantage is that he can go home when you are.He can still wash some clothes and earn a few pennies to subsidize his family. If he can work in the shop, he will definitely earn more.

Thinking of this, he pointed at himself and asked hesitantly: "I have never worked in a snack bar, can I...can I?"

"Of course, I think you're good!" Li Yu explained patiently: "On weekdays, you are responsible for greeting the guests, helping me when I cook, and you don't have to do the rest of the dishes. We still have two How about a fellow. How about two denarii a month for the two of them, and I'll give you three denarii?"

Brother Dong's heart was pounding, his face flushed with excitement, his complexion was much ruddy than before, "I am willing! I can do all those jobs!"

Li Yu was in charge of recruiting a buddy, Lin Shiyou remembered that Xiao Yu was not in a hurry after keeping Zhang Meng and Li Qing last time, and sure enough, he met the right person right now.This brother has a good character and is also down-to-earth and willing to work. He can help Xiaoyu in the store, so he can rest assured.

Li Yu was also very satisfied, he had eyes for Brother Dong just because they were short of someone.Old Shen's medication is also a big expense, and Brother Dong can also earn more money.

The few people decided so, and Liu Yuanwai looked at it silently for a while before making a sound, "At first I thought about finding a job for Brother Dong in my shop, but now it seems that going to Brother Lin's shop is more important. It's suitable, don't worry, Brother Dong, they are both kind and good people."

"Ah, thanks to Liu Yuanwai for letting me recruit a good guy." Li Yu joked when he heard him say this.

Member Liu smiled helplessly, and behind him the old doctor gave old father Shen another injection, "Brother Dong, come and see your father, he will wake up within an hour."

At this time, the big stone in Brother Dong's heart finally fell. After thanking everyone, he politely sent everyone away. After going out, Officer Liu thought about it and told him, "Go to the pharmacy to find me if you have anything to do."

Brother Dong bent his eyes and nodded seriously, looking at Yuanwai Liu's back and pursed his lips.

In the evening, he cleaned up the debris in the house and cooked another pot of gruel. He had just put the medicine on the stove to boil when he heard movement in the house.

Father Shen opened his eyes quietly, "Brother Dong, what's wrong with me?" He tapped his head, his mind cleared up a lot. Drinking medicine, what's going on?

"Dad, you're awake!" Brother Dong ran into the room and hurriedly poured a glass of water and handed it over, "Dad, drink some water first, a lot of things happened while you were asleep, let me talk about it slowly."

After listening to him, Father Shen's cloudy eyes couldn't help but shed tears. He clenched his son's arm tightly with his wrinkled hands, "Brother Dong, our family has met a very good man! Father is saved, and you You don't have to work so hard!"

Brother Dong nodded again and again, father and son were crying and laughing, Father Shen wiped away his son's tears, and had dinner together, Brother Dong went to the grain store to quit his job, came back and hurriedly washed a few clothes before going to bed Bewildered and fell asleep.

The next morning Zhang Meng and Li Qing had just gone to the store to deliver food, and they ran into the boss and his wife and brother Dong at the door. Zhang Meng saw that this guy was handsome, so he wanted to make fun of him when he turned around and saw Lin Shiyou. Waiting by the side, he immediately closed his mind and said enthusiastically, "Did you recruit another assistant, shopkeeper?"

Brother Dong instinctively shrank his shoulders when he saw that this man was big and fierce. Li Yu pulled him to his side and introduced: "This is Zhang Meng and Li Qing, the guys in our shop. They usually collect and deliver vegetables. Clean the kitchen, and you are only responsible for greeting the guests."

Seeing that Brother Dong understood, Li Yu was in a good mood and wanted to joke again, "The two of them came to find fault before, but my husband subdued them with a few tricks. They insist on being younger brothers. They won't be hired by us. You don't have to I'm afraid, if there is something wrong, let me deal with them!"

The two of them got together and whispered, they were brothers and there was nothing to shy away from, Lin Shiyou's face darkened secretly, why was Xiao Yu so close to that weak brother!They're all stuck together!

He gestured to take the dishes and interrupted them, "Let's go into the back kitchen and tidy up."

Brother Dong quickly took a basket of vegetables and walked in front, Zhang Meng and the two followed suit, Li Yu fell behind and was led aside by Lin Shiyou with his arms around his waist.

He lowered his head and was about to kiss his lips. Li Yu always cooperated, and closed his eyes obediently. After waiting for a while, he didn't see Lin Shi's movements. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Xiangzheng staring at him with a smile on his face. Come over.

Well, the morning teaser is teasing him again!

Li Yu was so angry that he directly pulled his neckline and took the initiative to take a bite, and Lin Shi's magnetic voice came to his ears: "Don't stick with Brother Dong."

"Hmm!" Li Yu retorted in a low voice while being hugged by him: "My husband deliberately arranged me again!"

What kind of flying vinegar are you eating!

With Brother Dong's help, it was much faster to prepare the dishes. Today Li Yu is going to make mutton steamed buns.

The butcher shop owner left two pieces of good-quality mutton for Li Yu. They were soaked in water last night, and now they are taken out and boiled in a large pot for an hour. Then, butter is added to make the broth more delicious. After simmering for a quarter of an hour, the mutton is almost cooked.

Brother Dong moves quickly. He has been used to doing these tasks in the kitchen since he was a child, but seeing Li Yu's posture, he is much faster than him. On the first day of work, he does not want to be left behind by the boss. faster.

"Brother Dong, don't worry, this dough is for steamed buns, after kneading, roll it out and let it out." Li Yu took a bamboo skewer and poked some small holes in the dough, "The cake baked in this way has a more chewy texture. very chewy."

"Shopkeeper, you know a lot!" Brother Dong smiled and looked at Li Yu.

Li Yu waved his hand and thought of something, "You can just call me brother Yu, don't call me the shopkeeper."

"to make!"

After kneading the noodles here, the mutton pot also gave off an aroma. Li Yu lifted the lid of the pot and added salt, fragrant leaves, star anise, cumin and other big ingredients, and then used a colander to skim off the fat on the surface.

He greeted: "Brother Dong, do you know what is the use of this oil?"

Brother Dong shook his head. He and his father couldn't eat a meal of meat during the Chinese New Year. On weekdays, they just eat porridge and steamed buns. Meat oil can be used for anything, and it smells like grease.

Li Yu explained while squeezing with a spoon: "This oil is the clear oil needed for the soup base, and it will taste better when mixed with water."

Brother Dong nodded at everything he said, showing admiration in his eyes, his little face flushed with excitement!

"Brother Dong is really cute." Li Yu thought to himself.

After the mutton soup was cooked, Li Yu sliced ​​the mutton, scooped a spoonful of broth and three spoonfuls of hot water to mix the soup base, broke the steamed buns baked by Brother Dong into small pieces, put them in a bowl, and put fungus on the side dishes Garnish with coriander, and a bowl of steamed mutton is ready.

Li Yu first left a small pot of soup for ten buns, and brought the rest to the front of the hall, and the shop opened at noon.

Brother Dong was busy working in the back kitchen and Li Yu early in the morning. When he arrived at the door, he was taken aback by the people queuing up. He said in surprise: "Brother Yu's shop is really booming! There must be dozens of people waiting!"

Lin Shiyou first set up twenty bowls of mutton steamed buns, and the aroma was overflowing in an instant. People watched on tiptoe. Not only are there newcomers in the fresh food store today!

"Brother Yu, what kind of dish is this, why are they soaked together?"

Li Yu replied: "Brother, this is called mutton steamed bun. It can be used as a vegetable and dry food. My mutton is the best hind leg meat. You can smell it without any fishy smell."

"I think it's delicious, give me a bowl!"

Li Yu asked Brother Dong to serve the food and collect ten coins for a bowl.

The man who asked the question just now entered the room only to see that there was an extra brother in the store, who served food and collected money in an orderly manner, and was also a good hand at work.

"Brother Yu, you look smart, this time you can help you with your work!" The man praised Brother Dong before he even tasted the dishes.

"That's not true, Brother Dong is alive!"

Brother Dong pursed his lips and smiled before going to greet the next guest.

The people in the house are eating steamed buns with side dishes. The mutton is boiled until soft and rotten. After entering the taste, use chopsticks to pick up a piece of fungus, which is covered with oily color, and it is crisp and refreshing in your mouth.

The inside of the steamed bun is full of mutton soup, and chewing is full of juice. The taste of the lamb is overbearing, and the rich salty taste of itself is perfectly infiltrated into the dry food. You don't need other seasonings to chew the steamed buns.

"Brother Yu, your dish is so delicious!" Everyone at the table sighed one after another, and the voice of the top man was the loudest, "I have never eaten such delicious mutton soup when I grow up. Leave me a bowl later, and I will bring it to you." Go back and give it to my old lady! She has bad teeth, but the mutton is soft and rotten, and the old man can chew it!"

No need for Li Yu's introduction, the man ate and boasted, and the people at the door heard it.

Li Yu sold bowl after bowl, and they were all sold out in less than a quarter of an hour, and the last bowl taken away by the customer was still steaming!

Lin Shiyou rubbed Li Yu's shoulders, Brother Dong sent the last table of guests away, thumped his arms and sighed: "This food sells out too fast! A bowl of ten cents is easy to buy!"

If he was given money to let himself buy it, he would have to think about it!

Li Yu pulled Lin Shiyou's wrist and smiled, "Let's go, let's eat a bowl too."

He brought out the mutton soup that had been reserved in advance, and filled a big bowl for Brother Dong.Brother Dong couldn't help it after smelling the smell. He picked up a spoon and ate in small bites. He was thin and had a lot of food. He ate more than Li Yu. He said: "Brother Yu's craftsmanship is really good!"

Lin Shiyou handed him the food box he had prepared, "Brother Yu brought this to Old Man Shen. He is recovering from his illness and needs to make up his body. You can bring the food back in the future to save trouble."

"How embarrassing!" Brother Dong hurriedly stood up and refused: "No way! It's too troublesome!"

"Just take it!" Li Yu took it and stuffed it into his hand with a serious expression on purpose, "I'm not happy if I don't take it!"

Brother Dong was clutching the food box with his fingertips slightly hot, his mouth was touched and he wanted to wipe away his tears, Li Yu had already expected that he would turn around him and push him outside the house with a smile, "Go back quickly, today's It's all done."

Before leaving the door, Mr. Liu arrived late. He stared at Brother Dong's food box with a fan and sighed: "It seems that I am late again, and there is no more food?"
