After taking out his wallet and paying the bill, Aoyagi pinched his shriveled wallet, a little worried.

The ramen is indeed delicious and satisfying. The fatigue of exercising in the morning is reduced by half with this meal. Although Yile ramen is quite affordable, and the uncle has discounted it, he can't help but eat too much, and the money spent is naturally indispensable.

The head of the family knows that firewood and rice are expensive, and now Aoyagi feels this way. I actually managed the money, and I felt the pressure of survival.

It seems that it is time to go and do some work to make some money.

"Uncle Yile, do you know where there is a suitable place for me to do odd jobs?" Aoyagi looked at Ichiraku expectantly.

"Well," Uncle Yile held his chin in his right hand and groaned, "I have an acquaintance who owns a barbecue restaurant, and there is a shortage of waiters there recently, you can try it." ”

Originally, I just had the mentality of trying, but I didn't expect Uncle Yile to really recommend it.

"Uncle, thank you so much!"

"Haha, that store is on Sakura Street in the southwest district, its name is Huojiao, you can find it at a glance when you get there." Uncle Ichiraku said as he wrote something on a piece of paper and handed it to Aoyagi: "When the time comes, you give this to the store manager, and he will know." ”

Aoyagi happily took the paper and said, "Thank you, uncle." I'll try it in the afternoon. Let's go, and thank you for your help! ”

"Haha, you're welcome, just visit more in the future." Uncle Yile smiled and his eyes narrowed into a slit.

"The ramen is so delicious, I'm sure I'll come back more often in the future."

Ichiraku stood behind the counter, looked at Aoyagi's departing back, and muttered to himself, "Hayakawa's children are so old......"

…………

In front of him was a street sign, and Aoyagi looked up, and the three words "Sakura Street" were soft and soft, indicating the next intersection.

This is the place, and then there is the barbecue restaurant, which is said to be what you can see at a glance when you get here...... Aoyagi looked around, and soon he was drawn to a giant bone-in barbecue in the style of a manga.

Aoyagi approached and looked up at this "barbecue", Aoyagi couldn't help but feel a little emotional, no wonder it can be seen at a glance, this signboard is too conspicuous.

The brown barbecue had two words on it - "fire" - "fire", and there was no doubt that this was the place he was looking for.

It's half past four in the afternoon, and the barbecue restaurant has just opened its doors and is preparing for business.

As soon as Aoyagi looked at the door of the store, a young man with black hair and black eyes wearing work clothes that looked like a kimono came over and asked him with a friendly smile, "Child, is there anything wrong with you?" ”

"Hello, big brother. I'd like to find your store manager. ”

After hearing this, the young man first led him to his seat and sat down, and brought him a glass of water: "You can sit down here first, and I will go and inform the store manager." ”

"Okay, thank you!" Receiving such courtesy, Aoyagi is a little unaccustomed to it.

It didn't take long for the store manager to come over.

The manager is about forty years old, fat, a little small-bellied, dressed in a chef's uniform, and the most striking thing is that he has a long beard, a expressionless face, and he doesn't feel very easy to deal with.

Aoyagi saw the store manager coming and quickly stood up. When the store manager walks in front of him, greet him first.

The store manager nodded and asked, "What are you looking for me?" ”

Aoyagi handed the note to the store manager and said, "Store manager, I want to work in your store." ”

Aoyagi has roughly read the content of the note, and probably recommends Aoyagi to work at this fire barbecue restaurant.

The store manager looked down at the note, then at Aoyagi, and after a pause, he said, "You are so young, you are not very suitable to be a waiter, but for the sake of Yile, I will give you a three-day probationary period." As long as you prove that you can be a good waiter and not a troublemaker, you can stay. ”

Aoyagi hurriedly replied, "Okay, I'll work hard!" ”

The store manager poured cold water on him: "The waiter is not so easy to be. You have a lot to learn. Of course, the most important thing is your attitude. ”

The store manager turned his head and waved his hand to greet the young man who had just received Aoyagi, and said to him, "Nishida-kun, from today onwards, you take him first and teach him how to be a waiter." ”

"You will follow Nishida-kun for the next three days." After that, the manager went back to the back kitchen.

Aoyagi bowed to the young man and said, "Nishida-senpai, my name is Hayakawa Aoyagi, and I will ask you for more advice in the future." ”

Nishida said with a smile: "I'm Nishida Feng, we will be colleagues in the future, and colleagues should help each other." You come with me, change into work clothes first. ”

Walking to the wardrobe with Aoyagi, Nishida explained some rules to Aoyagi: "You are a novice, so you will mainly add water to the guests today." As soon as you see which guest has less water in their cup, you take the initiative to add it. As for other things, such as serving dishes and recording menus, when the time comes, you follow me and I will show you. It's almost open now, so there's not enough time to teach you, so I'll teach you something when it closes. ”

Aoyagi followed behind Nishida and said that everything was up to Nishida.

Pushing open the door of the wardrobe, Nishida rummaged through the cabinet, telling Aoyagi some precautions from time to time: "Keep smiling when you see guests, and hurry over when you are greeted by guests......"

"Well, it's hard to find work clothes that fit your size, and the smallest one is still too big for you." Nishida thought for a moment, "Then that's the only way to go." ”

Aoyagi stood on Nishida's right back, and from his point of view, he couldn't help but have some ominous premonitions when he saw the strange smile on the corner of Nishida's mouth.

"Hah, there it is." Nishida pulled out a work coat and turned around.

"Well, Nishida-senpai, why is it white, different from the color of your overalls?" Aoyagi felt a little uncomfortable, isn't this color the color of the waitress in the store?

Nishida narrowed his eyes with a smile: "Actually, you should know it too." The girls' overalls are white. The male is dark blue. ”

"How can this work?! If I wear this, it won't be good for the image of the barbecue restaurant! Surely customers will find it strange and have a bad impression of the barbecue restaurant, right? Aoyagi hurriedly resisted.

"Well, there's no way, Hayakawa-kun, there's no male overalls for your figure. If it weren't for the fact that a petite girl had worked as a waitress here before, there would be no overalls that would fit your size. But it's still a little bit older for you. Nishida tried his best to look helpless, but Aoyagi always felt that he was gloating.

"And it's just the color, not the style. One would only think that children and women wear white, and adult men wear dark blue. It won't affect the image of our store, so you can rest assured. Nishida seemed to make a lot of sense, and Aoyagi didn't know how to refute him.

Seeing that he was going to succeed, Nishida worked harder: "If you don't wear work clothes, then you can't be a waiter." Even if I help you order men's work clothes today, you may not be able to get them in these three days. In other words, you can only use this dress for the next few days. ”

Knowing that there was no other choice, it was just a different color, barely a women's clothing, although Aoyagi was still a little resistant, but he had to accept it.
