At seven o'clock, the hotel's various restaurants are still dining at high peaks.

The September day is still hot, and there are still guests who are greedy for cold, sorbet and ice cream, which female guests like, and children also like it.

Today, in the process of rushing to work, there was an overuse of liquid nitrogen, and Brother Wang ran out of liquid nitrogen in the middle of making slush ice cream for the guests of the VIP suite.

In the mist, Brother Wang, who was wearing protective glasses, let out a wail, he looked around and kept asking, "Is there any liquid nitrogen?" ”

No, I searched the whole cake room and all the liquid nitrogen tanks were empty.

The guests of the VIP suite are still waiting for this dessert after the meal, the housekeeping department sent someone to urge, I heard that it is a rich girl who is not good to serve, and the upstairs has begun to lose her temper for a long time, and if you don't do a good job of sending it, I'm afraid that even the carpet will be lifted.

Xu Zhengze was not in the pastry room, and after Jin Zhiliang learned about the situation, he immediately notified the restaurants to cancel the quick-frozen desserts from the menu, and then called out to urgently buy liquid nitrogen. But at this time, the manufacturer has rested, even if someone is willing to send it, to eliminate traffic jams on the road, according to the road, it will take an hour to drive.

No, they can afford to wait, but the guests can't afford to wait!

Jin Zhiliang discussed with the people in the housekeeping department to change to other desserts, Ningxia came out of Xu Zhengze's workshop, still wearing plastic gloves on his hands, and heard him explain that the liquid nitrogen had run out, and his footsteps stopped, "Brother Liang, try it with carbon dioxide." ”

"Carbon dioxide?" Jin Zhiliang didn't react at once.

Ningxia looked at him and said, "Liquid carbon dioxide can also be used for refrigeration." ”

Brother Wang heard it and accepted the incompetence, "To put it mildly, where can I find carbon dioxide?" ”

Jin Zhiliang was still calm-headed, and he suddenly thought, "Fire extinguisher." It dawned on him, "Yes, it's a fire extinguisher." His eyes swept around, and his gaze fell on Xu Siqi's face, "Xiao Qi, go find a fire extinguisher immediately." ”

Xu Siqi received the order and ran like an agile cheetah.

After a while, he rushed back with a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher, and Brother Wang reached out to take it and sprayed it at the smoothie-like slush that had been stirred.

A thick white mist enveloped him, and everyone held their breath and stared straight at the foggy workbench.

It wasn't until the fire extinguisher was turned off and the thick fog dispersed that everyone could see that Brother Wang raised his hand and made an OK gesture. At the same time, Jin Zhiliang breathed a sigh of relief lightly and slowly.

He looked at Ningxia on the side, the yellow rubber gloves were still dripping, and he didn't know what work he was busy with just now, but since she came out, she must have finished cleaning the work room. She still looked energetic, with a smile on her lips, meek and quiet.

It is not easy for a girl to stand from morning to night with a group of men, and it is even more rare that she has not heard a word of complaint from her for a long time.

In particular, she is also smart and knows how to improvise.

Jin Zhiliang really thinks this girl is good, the more he looks at it, the more pleasing it is to the eye, and the more he looks at it, the more he likes it.

"Natsu-chan." He called out to her.

"Huh?"

"You just sweep the floor, and leave the rest to Xiao Zhang, and get off work when it's time."

“……”

"What, objections?"

"No ......"

His eyes widened: "Then don't go to work!" ”

"Oh, good."

This time I was really flattered!

Ningxia took off her gloves and washed her hands and came back, she said to Xu Siqi puzzled: "Brother Liang is so good to me." ”

She was sighing, but Xu Siqi thought she was showing off, and he gently spit out a word: "Get out!" ”

Ningxia pouted helplessly: "Where did I provoke you again?" ”

Xu Siqi: "Hmph! ”

Ningxia: "......"

***

Back in the evening to the apartment building, Ningxia walked in the corridor and unconsciously stopped in the middle of the two doors. On the left is her and Jiang Yiran's home, and on the right is Ye Zhaojue's residence.

- "Over the years, the habits that have been cultivated for her may still be there, but the persistence of being together is long gone. ”

Her mind crossed over the appearance of him when he said this, and her face was calm and unsad.

Think about it, too, to be able to prepare the engagement banquet by yourself, either you have already put it down, or you have decided to put it down, in short, you have figured it out yourself.

Well, it's good to figure it out.

But what's going on with that gleaming joy in my heart? Happy for him, or ...... Happy for yourself?

Ningxia clenched her fingers in confusion.

It was not early, and the first thing she did when she entered the house was to put in a hot bath.

In Vance, I was very tired from work, and I used to be occasionally lazy when I was looking for taste, move a chair and sit down to rest for a while, but Vance had to stand for nine hours a day.

She thinks she has the physia and the perseverance to keep going, but she is a little worried that the long exertion will cause her to suffer from arthritis and lumbar spondylosis.

Leaning on the head of the bed and rubbing her sour shoulders, she took a novel and read it, it was a detective story, one case connected to another, and she would turn a few pages every night.

Jiang Yiran knocked on the door and came in, and threw her a small bag of things, "Take it." ”

The thing slammed down on the page with precision, and with a snap, the book trembled.

Ningxia picked it up and took a look, plaster.

She smiled gratefully, "Thanks." ”

Jiang Yiran persuaded her: "Since you are tired, just quit." ”

Ningxia said: "Wouldn't that be untrustworthy to Lu Xiao again?" ”

Jiang Yiran said bluntly: "It's not that you haven't broken your promise." ”

Without giving face at all, Ningxia touched his nose, "I don't want to leave yet." ”

"Give me a reason." He stepped forward and sat on the edge of the bed with his arms crossed.

Ningxia told him the truth: "I want to get close to Xu Zhengze and learn something." ”

Jiang Yiran didn't like to hear this, he immediately snorted coldly: "Do you think I am a dead man?" ”

Ningxia put down the book and walked cross-legged closer to him, "People should be flexible, master, don't be afraid of more." ”

Jiang Yiran said: "Ningxia, I just found out that you are not ambitious. ”

She laughed, "I found out too." ”

He sighed, "The skin is thick enough." ”

Ningxia picked up quickly, smiling, "You have to pass it on." ”

“……”

Jiang Yiran paused, looked at her and smiled, there was a little bit of afterlife and terrifying meaning melted into it.

After a while, he said, "Eh, I forgot your birthday." ”

His tone was normal, without the slightest bit of shame, he was really just reminding her.

Ningxia said, "I know. "Like him, it's a normal demeanor.

Jiang Yiran thought strangely, and looked at her silently.

"Ahem!" Ningxia chuckled and added, "I don't know you yet, I forgot your birthday on New Year's Day, you should be careful to retaliate." ”

Jiang Yiran was laughed angrily: "So you're waiting for me to speak?" ”

"Hmm." Ningxia looked like "I've been waiting for you for a long time", "Isn't there a discount on the day of Qixi Festival, you feel the atmosphere in the store, how can you not think of my birthday." I just want to see how long you can hold it. ”

She spread her palms confidently, "Take it." ”

Jiang Yiran snorted, "Don't think I really prepared a gift for you. ”

Ningxia lazily maintained his posture, "I didn't think, hurry up and bring it." ”

Jiang Yiran endured it, and finally took out a lilac petal bracelet from the pocket of his house pants.

Ningxia happily took it and put it on with his head down.

The purple petals are delicate and dusty, and the slender wrists are lined with beautiful looks.

She flicked her right index finger slightly, but heard Jiang Yiran ask, "Ning Hui didn't look for you?" ”

She froze and said in a flat tone, "No." ”

"I forgot your birthday again." Jiang Yiran was disappointed.

Ningxia hung his head and said indifferently: "What are you still counting on him." ”

"Xiao Xia ......" Jiang Yiran wanted to say something, but in the end it was rotten in his mouth, "Forget it, you go to bed early." ”

With that, he got up and walked out.

When he got to the door, he turned around and added, "Happy birthday." If it weren't for the fact that you later made up the gift for me, even if there was an event in the Qixi store, I would have chosen to forget that it was your birthday. After a pause, he shrugged his shoulders, "That's right, I'm just careful." Try it again on your birthday next year! ”

So arrogant!

Ningxia gave him a roll of the eye and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

The door was shut, and inexplicably, Ningxia stared at the doorknob and was slightly stunned.

A man once said that he was middle-aged and didn't need a birthday present.

In fact, when it comes to age, Soy Wine is a year older than him.

It's really different people have different ways of living, Ningxia exhaled a long breath.

Several specialty restaurants in Vance temporarily canceled orders for quick-frozen pastries, and after only one night, complaints continued, and the hotel's image plummeted.

The level of catering service is an objective indicator of the hotel's service level, which directly affects the reputation and competitiveness of the hotel.

Ji Yan learned about the situation that night, and he couldn't bear it, and didn't question Xu Zhengze in person until the next morning.

The bakery has to check the inventory in the warehouse every day for what is missing and needs to be replenished in time. In addition, it is necessary to estimate the workload of the day based on the forecasts for each restaurant, banquet hall, and group booking, so that you can have a good idea of what you need to do.

Clearly, someone in the bakery was negligent yesterday.

And the person who is responsible for checking the goods and estimating the orders every day is none other than the chef Elder Jin.

Xu Zheng is Jin Zhiliang's superior, but he is not a kind leader who takes responsibility for his subordinates, and he directly pushed Jin Zhiliang out.

Jin Zhiliang was called to the general manager's office by Ji Yanjin's secretary, and everyone in the cake room was panicked.

Jin Zhiliang is good to Ningxia, and Ningxia is also worried about him.

She turned her head and asked Xu Siqi: "Brother Liang will be fine, right?" ”

Xu Siqi didn't seem to hear it, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

As soon as Jin Zhiliang walked on the front foot, Xu Zhengze came back on the back foot. Seeing that everyone had no intention of doing things, his face froze, "Do you also want Mr. Ji to invite you to tea?" I think otherwise, you guys line up, and I'll invite you to drink soup one by one. ”

“……”

Except for Xu Siqi, everyone was busy.

Xu Zhengze stood near the door, and he and Ningxia were at the innermost corner, his eyes crossed the countless heads, and he stared at him for a moment, his eyes full of questions.

He noticed him too, but his eyes narrowed slightly, ignoring him.

Ningxia pretended to lower his head to sift the matcha powder, but his eyes were slanted at Xu Siqi, this guy is weird today.

The strangest thing is that he stood straight and didn't move, and Xu Zhengze didn't invite him to drink soup for a long time......

He finally withdrew his gaze and concentrated on the task at hand, because Xu Zhengze was in the cake room, Ningxia was not good at asking out loud, so he had to swallow the question into his stomach for the time being.

About twenty minutes later, Jin Zhiliang finally returned safely.

Now, the busy crowd is not only busy with their hands, but also with their ears. Everyone pricked up their ears and listened.

Jin Zhiliang seemed to hesitate for a moment before silently walking up to Xu Zhengze and whispering: "Yesterday's prediction was miscalculated because you suddenly asked for another batch of desserts to the Crown Hall." There will be fewer liquid nitrogen tanks, also because you said that you want to control costs and reduce waste, and there is no need to add more high-cost quick-freezing tools like liquid nitrogen. ”

Everyone, including Ningxia, held their breath, Brother Liang was complaining, but the other party was Xu Zhengze, he was sure that he was complaining, not shouting?

In an instant, everyone's hearts beat like drums.
