Chapter 3:

Three days later. Ning City.

Ningshi is a big city with a lot of historical and cultural heritage. It is more prosperous than Xingcheng. It is farther from Xiaoqing Mountain. Ji Xiaoyu walked for three days to get there.

Although Xingcheng could be there in one day, the hotel incident left a bad impression on Ji Xiaoyu. Besides, it’s been half a year. The money he hid under the bed must have long gone. Even if he wants to come home, he will probably not come back. Maybe he will be beaten up by the hotel. So he ruled out this place in the first place and chose To the farther city of Ning.

There are more job opportunities in big cities, and more money should be earned. Ji Xiaoyu is still more confident in his future.

When he came out, he left a message on the stone wall in the nest, so that the old monkey would not worry if he found out that he was suddenly missing.

It was just in the evening after entering Ningcheng. Ji Xiaoyu was holding her little white egg in her pocket, standing on the busy street with high-rise buildings. She couldn't figure out the south, east, and northwest for a while. A pair of black-and-white bright and energetic Danfeng's eyes reflected the colorful roadside. Gorgeous neon, like colored glaze, overflowing with brilliance.

Then there was a soft "gu" sound in his stomach, Ji Xiaoyu couldn't help frowning. The dry food he brought when he came out of Xiaoqingshan ate at noon, and his stomach was a little hungry now.

Both sides of the main road are all kinds of high-end shops with luxurious decorations. Not to mention Ji Xiaoyu, who doesn’t have half a dime in his pocket. Even people who don’t have enough money don’t have the confidence to walk in. So he turned around and entered a row behind a row of buildings. A small street named Screw Street, planning to find a small restaurant to try his luck.

Thanks to his work experience in that hotel in Xingcheng last year, Ji Xiaoyu knows a little bit about everything. He can bring tea, bring water, wash the dishes and sweep the floor. As long as he can solve the imminent problem of accommodation and accommodation, he can do anything else, and then he will care about the rest.

There are a variety of shops on Screw Street, selling milk tea, fruit, and sizzling squid. The street is bustling with people, and the popularity is even more prosperous than the main street. Ji Xiaoyu walked all the way and looked around, and soon found a small restaurant called "Lao Li’s Home Cooking". Although the decoration was old and the store was not spacious enough, the business was very hot. The two rows of tables and chairs in the store were all full. There are still a few people waiting on the plastic stools outside the store. Looking at this scene, the food in this restaurant must taste good.

Ji Xiaoyu swallowed a mouthful of water and walked in with his foot raised.

The area of ​​this restaurant is small. A total of 40 square meters is divided into two parts inside and outside. The large room outside is equipped with six sets of simple tables and chairs. Inside is a semi-open kitchen, a forty or fifty year old. The man is enthusiastically holding an iron pan for cooking.

In the dining area outside, a girl in her twenties wearing a floral apron ran up and down to order dishes. Although the air conditioner was on in the store, she was still sweating. Hearing the automatic doorbell at the door calling out "Welcome", the girl named Zhang Qiaoyan turned her head to look over her busy schedule, her eyes lit up, and she greeted her warmly: "What do you want to eat, little handsome guy?"

Ji Xiaoyu hadn't answered yet. A man with a beer belly sitting at the door waiting for a seat protested dissatisfiedly: "Hey, waiter, when have you become a waiter to serve food? This kid has just arrived, but I am I've been waiting for a long time, shouldn't we talk about a first come first come first!"

Zhang Qiaoyan also realized that she had made a mistake for a while, and she quickly apologized to others: "I'm sorry, sir, I made a mistake. The next one is your turn."

The beer belly glared at Ji Xiaoyu, and sat down angrily.

Ji Xiaoyu looked innocent.

Zhang Qiaoyan was a little bit embarrassed, so she soothed: "Little handsome guy, sit down and wait for a while. There will be a seat soon."

Ji Xiaoyu scratched his head and asked, "Sister, I'm not here to eat, but to find a job. Do you still need a waiter here?"

Zhang Qiaoyan's cheeks flushed with a call of "elder sister". At this time, a guest at the table yelled to check out, and she also yelled "coming", then wiped away the sweat and said helplessly: "I think it is necessary, but unfortunately I don't count. You can ask our boss, it’s in the kitchen. You can call him Uncle Li, the old cooking man." After that, he ran to serve the guests.

Ji Xiaoyu leaned forward to the food delivery window in the kitchen and asked, "Uncle Li, do you still need manpower here?"

The old cooker hood in the kitchen roared like a tractor. Li De was sweating and was so busy that he didn't hear what he said. He thought it was a door-to-door sales promotion and waved his hand impatiently:" Don't don't, don't mess with me here!"

Ji Xiaoyu reluctantly glanced at the fragrant twice-cooked pork that was being fried in his pot, sucked the meaty smell of his nose, and turned around to leave.

A landline on the window sill happened to rang, and the bell was particularly harsh. Li Defa put the fried twice-cooked pork on the window sill and shouted "Qiaoyan answer the phone." He lifted up the big tea cup on the table and drank. .

Zhang Qiaoyan rushed over like burnt buttocks, picked up the receiver and quickly said: "Who?...Hongsheng Building, two takeaways? Sorry, we are short of staff today, no one to deliver...Really, I can’t be too busy..."

Li Defa quickly put down the tea jar and grabbed the phone: "You can send it! What do you want to eat?...Oh, shredded pork with fish flavor and old duck soup with tea tree mushroom, beef tenderloin with green pepper and spareribs soup with cordyceps flower...Hongsheng Group Building A 1208 Room, Miss Zhou? All right, it will be delivered in about half an hour!"

Li De faintly put down the phone with a smile, and then planned to start cooking.

Ji Xiaoyu had already walked to the door, her ears moved, and her footsteps stopped again.

Zhang Qiaoyan brought the twice-cooked pork to the table for the guests, and came back and said bitterly: "Uncle Li, why are you agreeing, Qiangzi is not here today, who will deliver the takeaway?"

Li Defa blinked his small eyes and realized that there was something urgent in the house of the man Qiangzi. He took a leave of absence and went back to his hometown this afternoon. There are only two people in the store, he and Zhang Qiaoyan. But he wants to take the lead, and Zhang Qiaoyan wants to greet the customers in the store, and indeed there is no way of manpower to deliver the food.

What can I do? I have promised to the customer just now. The most important thing in doing business is to pay attention to credit. If this time goes wrong, the loss will not be only the dozens of dollars.

Besides, Hongsheng Building is a high-end office building nearby. The headquarters of the famous Hongsheng Group in the city is stationed here. It has its own staff restaurant. No one has ever ordered takeaway before. The girl who called just now was a girl who needed to work overtime temporarily. She once took the takeaway menu from her restaurant, and planned to change her taste with the little sisters who worked overtime today. If this list can be followed up, there may be an additional customer group with great potential, and the small restaurant of my own can also be up to the next level, but at the moment I can’t deliver takeaways, this road may be blocked...

Li Defa felt more painful, and said, "It's a bad time for Qiangzi that Wang Ba Laozi to go back. It happened to ask for leave at this moment. When he comes back, Lao Tzu will deduct half of his salary!"

"The strong son took leave because his mother was in a sudden illness and needed care, and he didn't deliberately absent from work." Zhang Qiaoyan curled her lips and muttered in a low voice. , It is convenient and easy, and cooperation does not cost too much money..."

"Qiaoyan, what are you talking about?"

"Uh, it's nothing. I mean we don't have enough manpower now. The order just now really can't be taken. You should call someone quickly, Uncle Li."

"Oh, really bad luck. Forget it, I'll hire someone tomorrow..."

Li De was about to make a call with a frown, and suddenly a slender white hand was covered on the receiver: "Uncle Li, I will deliver this takeaway. What do you think?"

Li Defa turned his head and glanced at a young guy who was about twenty years old, with clear-cut eyes, red lips and white teeth. He looked very pleased, like a student who was still studying. He suddenly felt a little blinded, "You send it? Who are you?"

Seeing that it was Ji Xiaoyu, Zhang Qiaoyan couldn't help but say happily: "Uncle Li, it's a coincidence. This handsome guy just came to apply for a waiter. Why don't you ask him to send it out and try it out!"

Li Defa still hesitated. This young man hadn't figured out what was going on. Is it too fast?

Ji Xiaoyu immediately said sincerely: "Uncle Li, my name is Ji Xiaoyu. Don't worry, I used to work as a waiter in a hotel, and the process is probably clear. And I have fast legs and feet, so I won't lose time on the road."

Whether it is Ji Xiaoyu's appearance or his words and demeanor, it is difficult for people to refuse. Li Defa was immediately persuaded, "Okay, then you will send it!"

Such a clean and handsome guy, if you want to say that it is possible to pull people to engage in MLM or to fool the little white faces of women, anyway, it will not come to cheat two fast foods. Try it.

Boss Li didn't know that Ji Xiaoyu, who was hungry, really thought about running away after taking the takeout, so he would fill up his stomach first. It’s just that it’s not kind to do this, it violates his principle of being a pheasant, and it would be even more embarrassing if it was spread out, so after thinking about it, he dispelled the idea, decided to bear it again, and behave well. This job.

The effort of these few words has been delayed for seven or eight minutes. Li Defa raced against time to turn on two stoves, showing off his unique skill of frying both his left and right hands at the same time, and he made two dishes in ten minutes.

Ji Xiaoyu has taken a green apron with the words "Lao Li's Home Cooking" printed on the chest from the kitchen shelf and put on a small yellow chicken underneath, and put on a small yellow hat. The whole person looks fresh and playful. As soon as Li Defa's dishes came out of the pot, he immediately packed them in boxes and added two old hot soups. The whole process was neat, smooth, and prudent. He couldn't pick out the slightest fault. It seemed that he was specially trained.

Li De looked at him with cold eyes, did not say anything, but secretly nodded in his heart. This young man worked more neatly than the Hadron, and looked much more pleasing to the eye. If he could really stay, even if the Hadron didn't come back, it would be fine...

Before he finished thinking, Ji Xiaoyu had already left the house with a post-it note with the address of the takeout and the phone number of the person who ordered the meal.
