Chapter 4 Fish soup is tasteless
In the car, there was almost no communication between them, and Mr. Di kept fiddling with his mobile phone, as if he was reading some documents very seriously, and the taxi driver was the first to break the silence, "Are you going over there to eat fish soup?"
Mr. Di then turned his eyes away from his mobile phone, "Yes, after eating that fish soup, I feel like my stomach has been nourished......"
The taxi driver spoke in his thick Ninghe accent, "His house is okay, there is also a fish soup restaurant on Zhongcheng Road, the taste is better than this one......"
"Which one on Zhongcheng Road?" Mr. Di shook his head, "That one might as well go through the commercial street of Shengshi Community at two intersections, there are only a few delicious fish soups in Ninghe, I have basically been there, I think this one is good, whether it is price, service, or taste, it is considered top-notch......"
"Listen to you, you're very knowledgeable about our food, but your accent doesn't sound like our locals......"
Mr. Di deliberately said in a crappy Ninghe dialect: "I am a native ......of Ninghe!
The driver shook his head, "I've been doing this for many years, I can hear if you're a local, you're definitely not our ...... here."
Mr. Di smiled, "Master, just stop at the intersection in front......
Gong Xue saw the words "Xiajia Fish Soup Restaurant" through the window glass, and read them out casually, "Mr. Di, is this here?"
"Yes, this is it. β
The ordinary faΓ§ade, from the outside, it is no different from the surrounding houses along the street, Gong Xue began to wonder what kind of shop this is so many people love, after entering the door, you need to go to the counter to get the menu, according to the number of seats, Di always took Gong Xue to the waiting area, found a seat nearby to sit down, Gong Xue looked around, there were many large and small photo frames hanging on the walls around her, Gong Xue got up and approached to take a closer look, only to find that those photo frames recorded the long history of this small fish soup restaurant, looking at it, Gong Xue stopped in front of an inconspicuous small photo frameγ
"Do you think that the photo of making fish soup for the Japanese army shouldn't be hung here?"
Because she was so engrossed, Gong Xue didn't notice that Mr. Di was standing behind her, and she didn't come back to her senses until she heard Mr. Di's voice. "Well, why hang here?"
You look down, and there's the answer. Mr. Di pointed to a group photo not far away, in which a group of people sat at the door of the hotel, with a pile of broken porcelain and a few cauldrons at their feet, and there was a note in the lower right corner of the photo: Japan surrendered in August 1945, and Ninghe Yuzhuang was safe
Gong Xue stared at the photo thoughtfully, and Mr. Di continued: "Because the craftsmanship of the owner of Ninghe Fish Village has won the love of several Japanese officers, he has kept the peace of Yuzhuang, and this photo is after Japan surrendered, they smashed and threw away all the utensils used by the Japanese to celebrate the victory of resistance against Japan." β
Gong Xue sighed at the vicissitudes of this old shop in the past years, while continuing to browse the rest of the photos, these pictures are like a silent movie, telling the legend of the fish soup restaurant that was once forgotten, at this time the waiter walked to the side of Mr. Di and Gong Xue, leaned over and signaled Mr. Di and Gong Xue to move into the middle hall, and the two of them left the waiting area unsatisfied.
Passing through a long corridor, bypassing a glass-framed brocade screen, the huge atrium comes into view, their dining table is located in the southwest corner of the first floor, waiting for the two of them to sit down, Mr. Di took the menu handed by the waiter, glanced at it, and drew out 4 dishes casually, and then handed the menu to Gong Xue, signaling her to continue ordering, Gong Xue took the menu and handed it to the waiter.
Mr. Di frowned, "Why don't you take a look at it and choose a few of your favorite foods!"
"The few you ordered are enough, we can't eat ......"
Mr. Di took the menu from the waiter, picked out a few dishes that he thought girls would like and read them to Gong Xue, Gong Xue hurriedly refused, seeing this, Mr. Di added a few more dishes to the menu, and then returned the menu to the waiter, Mr. Di looked around, "Sometimes there will be cross talk performances here, but there doesn't seem to be one today." β
"Cross talk?" Gong Xue looked at the venue in surprise, "Where to perform?"
"In the center of the field, there was only a square table, and there were two people who spoke cross talk. β
"Such a simple stage?" Gong Xue couldn't believe it.
"It's that simple, sometimes the simpler the form, the more interesting the content. β
Gong Xue nodded.
Mr. Di glanced at Gong Xue, who was bowing his head and drinking water, and asked, "Gong-Xue, what do you call you at the Decheng store, do you call you Gong Xue?
"Generally, everyone calls me Gong Xue, and my friends who play better in private call me Xiaoxue. β
"Then I'll call you Xiaoxue!" Mr. Di smiled, "Xiaoxue, how old are you this year?"
"I'm 26 years old. β
"Ao is 26 years old, which is a good age to struggle, have you ever been to Ninghe before?"
"I haven't been here...... Gong Xue replied cautiously looking at Mr. Di's face.
"Then you have a lot to learn next!Do you know why five people in your department chose you to come and support?"
"Because it's going to be downsized!" Gong Xue blurted out without thinking about it.
Mr. Di shook his head, "It's because you are young and have the same potential for development as our project." β
Mr. Di's answer is like an official speech, the reason for this is that Gong Xue also understands a little more, Manager Cai has already reached the position of manager, and it is impossible to run thousands of miles away for the so-called promotion and salary increase, Sister Huang's child is more than 6 years old, Sister Liao's child has just turned 1 year old, it is impossible for them to give up accompanying their children for work, Xiaoshuang has just gotten married, and Gong Xue just happens to meet the conditions.
"Mr. Di, then why don't you recruit people directly from here, and choose to transfer people from our side?"
Mr. Di's eyes dodged slightly, "The staffing of the planning department over there is more abundant than that of our other stores, and you are so young, just the age of struggle, Mr. Xia (the manager of the Decheng store) loves talent very much, and he recommended you to me." β
"Mr. Xia, really? But the planning department of the Guangpei City store and the Taitung store has a lot more staff than our stores. β
"Guangpei City, the project area in Taitung is several times larger than yours, of course there are more personnel than yours, and the performance of those two stores is also better than your store. β
In the gap of chatting, the dishes have been served, Gong Xue carefully tasted the fish soup recommended by Mr. Di, the fish soup mixed with too many ideas is difficult to taste its true taste, Mr. Di's career height determines his overall situation, and Gong Xue is just a pawn who happens to come in handy in the overall situation, as for the real reason for the transfer, I learned in the discussion with my colleagues later, but the staffing of the Ninghe project has not been issued for a long time, and the number of personnel at this stage is limited, and it is impossible to recruit from outside, so I can only seconded colleagues from other stores nearby to help.
"Xiaoxue, do you really want to transfer to this project? This side is so far away from your home, do you really want to do it?"
"Well, I think about it, I want to learn more things while I'm young, and get in touch with some new things......"
Mr. Di put down the chopsticks in his hand, picked up the tea in front of him and took a big sip, "The idea is very good, but you Mr. Xia love talents so much, I will dig people directly from him, I'm afraid it will not be easy...... You are like this, let it go on my side, don't think about the transfer first, wait for me to find an opportunity to mention it to you Mr. Xia......"
For Gong Xue's application, Mr. Di did not agree or refuse, he was waiting, waiting for Gong Xue's answer......
