Sunday, April 28th.

Xinwei year, Renchen month, Wuchen day.

The weather is sunny, the blue sky is like washing white clouds, the breeze is breezy in Fengtian City, and the green grass on the side of the road is verdant.

The 100-year-old restaurant is scheduled to officially open on April 30, the auspicious day of the zodiac, but because considering that the 30th is a Tuesday, many people are not very convenient to come to the store to participate in the celebration, Lao Chen set the day of the banquet on the 28th, but on the 28th, only the guests are invited and do not lift the cards, and the whip is unveiled at 8 o'clock in the morning on the 30th.

In this era, there is no Golden Week holiday, and May Day is still a normal labor day, except for Sunday, which is a working day.

An Ji century-old restaurant inside and outside the wash fresh, pick red and green, the waiters wear uniforms Ying Ying Yanyan is busy in the store outside the store, today all the waiters are not divided into shifts, everyone goes to work together, many people are festive.

The kitchen on the second floor was full of smoke and the stove was blazing, An Lao Wu and Master Fan commanded with a serious face, and the little worker helped the kitchen apprentice to be hit on the back of the head by the foot of the envoy, today is the first day of the restaurant to eat, and all the people invited are the heads of Fengtian, I heard that even the city @ committee city @ Fu Province has people coming, if this is not a shot, two people will not have to do this line of work from now on.

The waiter in the private room is a little more nervous than downstairs, because today is full work, and a private room is in charge of a special person, which will be arranging napkins, cloth plates, cups and saucers, to be placed in a strict comparison, and the distance between each seat must be exactly the same from the size of the table. White wine cups, red wine glasses, beer cups, soup bowls, dirty dishes, chopsticks, pillows, ashtrays, tablecloths, folded flowers placed on chairs, napkins stacked in goblets, and a box of cigarettes.

The exhaust fans in the private room are all humming, displacing the air in the room. Several stainless steel food trucks are wiped clean inside and outside and placed on the outside wall of the food room, and there are storage cabinets at the door of each private room, and there are storage boxes in the house, storage cabinets are used to collect tools, and storage boxes are used to collect clothes and items for guests. In the middle of the dining table is a blue and white neck vase with flowers, and the water on the flowers sparkles in the light.

Li Na wore a manager's uniform and inspected them one by one, pointing out a little inadequacy from time to time, and whispering to the waiter to tell some things to pay attention to and etiquette.

Cleaners are doing their final checks, incense is burning in the bathroom, smoke is curling, hand soap, hand towels, non-slip rubber pads and toilet paper are in place. The whole hotel is ready to go.

Xiaowei and Chen Hui also came to the store early in the morning, looked around from the inside out, and then sat on the side and watched, all the department positions are managed, as the boss can look at the problem but can't mix, it will be messed up.

"I should find a few people who play the piano and sing, it seems to be empty. Chen Hui looked at the circular stage left in the middle of the room and said to Xiaowei.

Xiaowei glanced at it and said: "There are not many practical times for our stage, how many people can spend this money to do things in our place, but what band to play the piano is not suitable for us." Let's see if we can find two more people who can play the guqin, and the guzheng is also fine, and gather two or three people to come over and perform here, and pay their salaries monthly. ”

Chen Hui pursed his lips and said: "It's hard to find, it's hard to find this today, ask her if it's okay to come to work in a while, it's easy to find to play the electronic piano now, there are too few people who play the guqin, it's not less, it's hard to find someone who can play well and really perform." ”

Xiaowei said: "Ask if this is coming, the salary is according to the lobby manager, and ask her if she can help find someone, but there must be requirements for appearance and figure, this is not a joke." ”

Chen Hui raised his hand to unbutton the suit, moved his body and said, "I'll ask later, this dress is too stiff, why don't you wear it?"

Xiaowei smiled and said, "You are the boss, I'll just look at what you're wearing." "Neither of them usually wore a suit.

Chen Hui raised his hand and looked at his watch and said, "Why hasn't Lao Xia arrived yet, you should have pulled him over that day." When the two of them returned to Fengtian, Xia Maosheng didn't come together because he had to go to work, saying that he would come by himself today, and it was almost noon at this time.

The voice of the waiter at the gate said, "Welcome." "This kind of etiquette behavior of the rotten streets of later generations has not been done by anyone in this era, and it is very high.

Xiao Wei and Chen Hui turned their heads to look over, Lao Chen walked in with Sister Liu, and the two of them quickly stood up to greet them.

"Dad. Aunt Liu. ”

"Uncle Chen. Aunt Liu. ”

Lao Chen twisted his head and looked around, saw the light above the waiter, nodded and said, "Are you ready?" Director Liu smiled and nodded at Xiaowei and Chen Hui on the side.

Chen Hui said: "It's almost over, we can start the banquet soon, why are people coming?"

Lao Chen took the handbag and walked slowly inside, while looking at the furnishings and things on the table, and said: "This cigarette is very good, it is really good, several leaders in the bureau have said that it is good to smoke, and you can send two boxes of cigarettes a month in the future, and the bureau will use it as a guest cigarette, have you calculated how much do you have to sell the cigarettes?"

Chen Hui said: "At least 20 yuan, that's a special supply of tobacco." ”

Lao Chen stopped and looked back at the door, and said, "Twenty-five, let's settle the bill together when the time comes." The lights inside are a little dimmed, and the door is a little brighter, so it's not a big deal. Upstairs ready too, huh?"

Xiao Wei and Chen Hui accompanied Lao Chen to the second floor to look around, and looked in the kitchen, Lao Chen kept smiling, very satisfied, and looked at Chen Hui's eyes became gentle.

Then it was the reception, Lao Chen stood at the door with two people, behind the welcome, the visitor introduced the two people, and then let the welcome lead him to the private room on the second floor.

The first to come was the electricity industry, needless to say, my own family, I must come to cheer, and it is conceivable that the reception point of the Northeast Bureau must be set here. Then there are the electricity relationship units, most of which need to be asked for electricity, so they came earlier.

The closer to the meal, the higher the level, all districts in Fengtian have come, several district chief secretaries laughed and came in under the support of the secretary, and several major bureaus in the city also came, the city secretary did not come, the mayor came, explaining that the secretary was unfortunately in the city research and could not come back, Lao Chen smiled and personally accompanied the mayor upstairs.

In the end, it was the province, and the top leaders in several main halls came, and then two high-ranking officials arrived in person, this is Lao Chen's buddy. The provincial @ committee is the representative of the secretary general, which is really quite face-giving, this is the big housekeeper of the provincial @ committee.

The guests are full of guests, the second floor twenty-five private rooms have opened sixteen, and the downstairs has also opened five tables, the girl who performs the guqin enters the dance floor and sits down to start tuning and playing, the crisp and quiet piano sound spreads to all corners of the hotel through the sound system, and the exquisite dishes come out of the kitchen and are put on the table by the smiling waiter.

All the guests were very satisfied with everything in the restaurant, from the decoration to the service to the dishes to the smoke. Liu Sui and Director Qin also came over specially and met with Lao Chen, and Lao Chen introduced Deputy Director Liu of the Provincial Department to Director Qin, which was considered to be stepping on the line.

Twenty-one tables at noon, and thirteen tables in the evening, and when the guests left, Lao Chen praised Chen Hui and Xiaowei with a smile, looking quite happy.

Xia Maosheng only arrived at night, and when he arrived, the guests were almost gone, and now he has been transferred to work in the Administration of Government Affairs, which can be regarded as officially entering the system as a national cadre, and there is not so much free time in time.
