Dependent Origination and Destiny - The History of the Present

For the next period of time, Shi Jin was adjusted to an afternoon shift, starting at three o'clock in the afternoon and changing to work at four o'clock.

At noon that day, as soon as Shi Jin arrived at Yuanqi Yuanmi, he saw Gao Miaomiao coming from outside carrying a box of things by himself, so he walked over to take the things from her hands and helped her move them to the tea room.

Gao Miaomiao wiped off her sweat and said with a smile, "Thank you, Shi Jin!"

Shi Jin said with a smile: "It's nothing, just tell me if you want to move things in the future, don't keep doing it yourself, girls are not suitable for such hard work."

Gao Miaomiao said: "Actually, Ruoruo helped me move these things in the past, because she has relatively strong strength. And she always said that our family is made by women as men - but in fact, it is not easy to treat yourself as a man." It's just her and Xiao Yi."

Shi Jin said: "The little girl really likes to be brave."

Gao Miaomiao said: "Yeah, so I'm not used to her not being here."

Shi Jin smiled, since the last time he and Bai Ruo walked all the way back, Bai Ruo asked for leave the next day and didn't come to work again, saying that he had something important to go back to Beijing.

He asked, "When will Bai Ruo come back?"

Gao Miaomiao thought for a while and said, "Maybe I'll be back this weekend." Then, she teased again jokingly: "Why, do you miss her?"

Shi Jin was a little embarrassed, he said: "No, I'm just asking casually. I'm going to change my work clothes first."

Gao Miaomiao looked at his back, who was almost running away, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.While smiling, she opened the cardboard box that Shi Jin helped her bring in, and then took out a few bags of tea from it and poured them into several tea tins with corresponding labels.

Shi Jin changed into his work clothes. Although it was not yet one o'clock in the afternoon, he couldn't stay idle. He took advantage of the fact that some of the employees had gone to lunch to help welcome the new guests.

"Shi Jin, you are really hardworking!" Xiaoqin, the waitress standing at the door, said with a smile, "It's not even time for you to go to work!"

Shi Jin said with a smile: "Anyway, I don't have anything to do, I'm just idle, so I just come to help!"

Xiaoqin said: "You are so hardworking, you should be promoted to foreman by Miaomiao." Gao Miaomiao got along well with them, so the younger waiter usually called her Sister Miaomiao.

Shi Jin still smiled peacefully, and said: "It doesn't matter what the foreman is, I just think that doing the job well is the most important thing."

Xiaoqin smiled and said: "Shi Jin, I heard that the boss likes people like you. In the future, let alone the foreman, even the manager can do it."

"Boss?" Shi Jin was slightly taken aback. He has been in Yuanqiyuanmie for almost a month and a half, but he has never met the boss here.

Xiaoqin said: "That's right, you haven't met the boss yet. The boss went to Hangzhou two days before you came, and he hasn't come back yet. He is sister Miaomiao's father, and he is a very nice person. "

A few guests came in and they stopped talking.Shi Jin stepped forward, led the guests to a location, and then made a list for them.

He sent the list to the tea room, Gao Miaomiao took the list and glanced at it, then quickly and accurately took out the tea and brewed it.

Shi Jin watched her brew several pots of tea together and her movements were elegant and beautiful, as if she was performing a tea art show, and couldn't help saying in admiration, "You are really good at brewing so much tea at the same time, and you can still make it so beautiful."

Gao Miaomiao said with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just proficiency. Because I have learned this since I was a child. You look amazing because you don't know it, just like what we said in a text "The Oil Seller" we learned before. : Mr. Chen Kangsu is good at archery, he is unparalleled in the world, and he also prides himself on it. But the old man who sells oil summed up his mystery in one sentence: "There is no other, but he is familiar with it."——So, I also No one else, but you are familiar with it.” She smiled and put the brewed tea on the tray and handed it to Shi Jin.

Shi Jin nodded, took the tray with a smile, and walked out.

Gao Miaomiao took another order handed over by another waiter, and quickly brewed the tea ordered by the next group of guests.

Five o'clock in the afternoon is the handover point between the morning session and the evening session of the teahouse, so many guests in the morning session check out and leave at this time.The evening guests usually come after [-]:[-] pm, so the hour between [-]:[-] and [-]:[-] is the time for the teahouse to clean up.

The waiters sorted out the teapots and cups used by the guests, as well as other dishes that had pastries and snacks, sent them to the kitchen in the corner of the teahouse for cleaning, and then added new pastries, candies and other foods to the corresponding positions.

Shi Jin and several male waiters carried several barrels of porridge to a row of shelves in the corner of the food area. These porridge barrels were filled with white porridge, preserved egg porridge, black rice porridge, etc. There are fried rice, fried noodles, etc., which are for hungry customers.

After Shi Jin finished moving the food, he saw several waiters mopping the floor, so he took a mop and mopped the floor together.

It was almost [-]:[-] p.m. after finishing work. Shi Jin took his meals and returned to the staff lounge. Some of the staff had already finished their meals and were resting or joking inside.

He found a place to sit down to eat, and another waiter, Ding Wei, came over and sat down next to him.He said, "Shi Jin, why do you eat?"

Shi Jin smiled and said, "Didn't you just finish your work?"

Ding Wei said: "Ever since I met you, you have always been the last one to eat. How can you have so much work? I know that you are helping others."

Shi Jin said: "Anyway, it's all work. If you finish it early, everyone can eat earlier."

Ding Wei said: "You are stupid, you save it until the end every time, and let people eat any good food, what else do you eat?"

Shi Jin smiled and continued to eat without speaking.Ding Wei shook his head, looking like a child who can't be taught, and then walked away.

It was already twelve o'clock when I got off work at night, and there were basically no pedestrians on the street, and occasionally one or two hurried past.Shi Jin returned to the residence alone, and it was already 12:30 after washing up.

He lay down on the bed, but couldn't sleep.He turned over and suddenly remembered that when he was still sleeping on the upper bunk of Qilian, Xu Sanduo asked him softly in his lower bunk: "Squad leader, what are you counting when you can't sleep?" ?”

Shi Jin couldn't help lowering his voice, just like answering Xu Sanduo at that time, he said softly: "There are so many things that can be counted, and there are countless things." After finishing speaking, he couldn't help laughing, this is no longer a military camp, And Xu Sanduo didn't ask him like that anymore, he was also the squad leader now, and fell asleep in the bunk he used to sleep in, but he didn't know if there would be recruits asking him the same way he asked himself back then.

I don't know if Liu Yi gave him his contact information, he thought, and asked Liu Yi to tell him: If you can't stand it anymore, write a letter to the monitor.He wasn't worried about Xu Sanduo, because he was already a top student, and because he entrusted Wu Liuyi to take good care of him before he left.Wu Liuyi is his best friend, and he will not disappoint his promise.

He thought, and gradually fell asleep.

The next morning, Shi Jin woke up.After washing up, he went out for a long-distance run as usual. When he came back and had breakfast, he took out the management science and read it. While reading it, he referred to a management science note that Gao Miaomiao gave him.This note gave him a lot of help, allowing him to have a good understanding of some places in the book that were originally difficult.

Shi Jin read it while taking notes.He served in the army for nine years, and also participated in correspondence studies when he was in the army, but he chose to study by correspondence in the army at that time, so the information on the diploma he obtained could not be found locally.Now he wants to learn more knowledge, so that it will be good for work and life.

After reading until noon, Shi Jin went out to have lunch, then packed up and went to Yuanqi Yuandie.

Gao Miaomiao is not in the shop today, and the tea making has been handed over to others.Shi Jin changed into his work clothes and started working as usual.

"Waiter, change the tea!" A guest waved to Shi Jin.

Shi Jin took a tea order list and walked over.It was a middle-aged man in his 40s. Shi Jin put the tea order in front of him and asked, "Excuse me, what kind of tea do you want?"

The middle-aged man took the tea list and flipped through it casually, then said, "Young man, can you recommend which kind of tea is better for me?"

Shi Jin thought about it for a while. Over the past month or so, he has also learned a lot about various teas due to the needs of his work.Then he said: "You just drank West Lake Longjing. Longjing has the effects of refreshing, quenching thirst, reducing neutral fat and cholesterol in the blood, etc. It tastes light and delicious; if you still want to change to green tea, I suggest You can try Huangshan Maofeng tea, Maofeng tea has the effects of promoting blood circulation, lowering cholesterol, increasing capillary elasticity, and enhancing blood anticoagulation, etc. Its taste is mellow and sweet, which is different from Longjing tea."

The middle-aged man smiled and asked, "Then if I don't want to switch to green tea, can you recommend other teas for me?"

Shi Jin said: "If you don't want to change to green tea, then I suggest you try Tieguanyin, which is one of the top ten famous teas in my country and represents the oolong tea category. It is sweet and long-lasting. In addition to the health functions of general tea, it also has anti-aging, anti-cancer, anti-arteriosclerosis, prevention and treatment of diabetes, weight loss and bodybuilding, prevention and treatment of dental caries, clearing away heat and reducing fire, fighting smoking and sobering up, etc. "

The middle-aged man looked through the tea list again, and asked, "Young man, why don't you suggest me to drink Pu'er tea?"

Shi Jin said: “Pu’er tea is a kind of dark tea. It is a post-fermented tea, and its fragrance is more expensive than old ones. Adaptation. Of course, there are many health benefits of Pu’er tea. It is mild in nature, does not hurt the stomach, helps digestion, relieves greasiness, smoothes the stomach, reduces fat, loses weight, softens human blood vessels, prevents cardiovascular diseases, and prevents Cancer, anti-cancer and other effects, so if you really like Pu-erh tea, I suggest you buy some and keep it at home for long-term drinking, which is more cost-effective.”

The middle-aged man smiled and nodded. He said, "Young man, if you do business like yours, and everyone buys tea and drinks it at home, can anyone still drink the tea in your shop?"

Shi Jin said with a smile: "This is different. When you come to the teahouse to drink tea, it is a kind of atmosphere. In addition to drinking tea itself, you also come to enjoy a peaceful and far-reaching environment. And we are born and died. It is the place to provide everyone with such an environment. In addition, since our teahouse is in this industry, it is natural to guide consumers to correctly understand tea-related knowledge, and we must not deceive consumers for the sake of making money—such a thing We can’t do it, and we never will!”

The middle-aged man smiled, and said, "Then you can exchange a cup of Tieguanyin for me."

Shi Jin memorized his seat number and the name of the tea, then put away some tea and walked towards the tea making room.

A few minutes later, when Shi Jin delivered the soaked Tieguanyin to the guest, the middle-aged man smiled and said to him: "Young man, are you new here? I have never seen you here before." .”

Shi Jin nodded, and said, "I've only been here for a little over a month, so maybe you haven't seen me."

The middle-aged man said, "Young man, sit down and let's talk."

Shi Jin said: "I'm sorry, I'm working now, I'm afraid I can't chat with you. If you need it, you can call me anytime."

The middle-aged man was not angry either. He said, "Young man, I saw that you came here at noon. You should be on the afternoon shift, right? If this is the case, you should not be at work yet. How could it be working hours?"

Shi Jin said: "I changed into work clothes, and I was facing the customers as a waiter who was born and died. If I sit down to chat with you now, other customers will think that the waiters in our teahouse are so passive during working hours. Slow down, it will affect the image of our teahouse, so I'm sorry that I can't chat with you now, if you have time, we can arrange another break time to sit down and have a good chat."

The middle-aged man didn't make things difficult for him, he said, "Okay, then you can go to work. But before you go to work, can you tell me your name?"

Shi Jin replied with a smile: "My name is Shi Jin."

In the afternoon, Gao Miaomiao came back from the outside, as soon as she saw the middle-aged guest, she immediately ran to his side.She sat next to the middle-aged guest and talked to him affectionately.After talking for a while, she raised her head and looked in Shi Jin's direction.Shi Jin saw her smiling and nodded to him.

Then the middle-aged man stood up and walked towards the tea room. Gao Miaomiao followed beside him, smiling and answering his questions as he walked.

They walked past the tea room, towards the back of the bubble tea tip, where there was an office.

An hour later, Gao Miaomiao came out of the office. She walked up to Shi Jin and said, "My dad asked you to come in. He wants to talk to you." She pointed in the direction of the office.

"Your father?" Shi Jin was slightly taken aback.

Gao Miaomiao nodded with a smile, and she said, "Well, my dad. He said he wanted to talk to you, and he likes you very much."
