Chapter Ninety-Three: Small Brands Are of Great Use
"Guest, what do you want?" The young man cleverly stepped forward and asked.
"A pot of wine, the cheapest kind, a dry pot of lettuce, a different kind of potato." The guest said.
"Haole, a dry pot of lettuce, a different kind of potato, and a pot of white brewed liquor." As soon as the young man shouted, Qi Jiuli came over with the sign and put it on the "Tian" table.
"Eh, I just wanted to ask, why is there a sign today, what is this?" The guest asked curiously.
"Guest officer, in order not to eat the wrong meal, each table is numbered, and then paired with a wooden sign with the name of the dish, and then withdraw it after the dish is served, do you see if this is particularly clear and understandable." Qi Jiuli smiled and said, "Every guest can also know what they ordered. ”
"You're new here." Qi Jiuli's face made the guests stunned for a moment, but Qi Jiuli was beautiful, and the guests were happy to see it.
"Guest officer, this is the new bookkeeper apprentice in our restaurant, and he is smart and capable." The young man introduced Qi Jiuli with a smile.
Although today is the second day of Qi Jiuli's tenure, she can be a person, she brought fried rice cakes on the first day, and she has a very good attitude, she has always been smiling, who can put a face on her when she sees a smiling face.
The most important thing is that Qi Jiuli is generous, what words are written on this wooden card, but whenever someone asks her, she will answer, ask a few times, and people will not be annoyed by you, so this is only the next day, and she will be specially recruited.
"The future bookkeeper." The guest was a little surprised, but his attitude towards Qi Jiuli was a little more respectful.
"Guest officer, you have won the award, I am still young, and I have to learn." Qi Jiuli said a little embarrassed.
For humble people, they can always get more love, listening to Qi Jiuli's words, the expression on the guest's face became softer and softer, and he also encouraged Qi Jiuli a few words, Qi Jiuli listened carefully and expressed his gratitude for this.
There were a lot of people at noon, and Qi Jiuli had been helping to put the signs, after all, there were not many literate people in the Qiuwei restaurant, and her literacy ability was now among the best.
The guests who came to eat were not all literate, Qi Jiuli always had to help explain a few words on the wooden card, some people looked at the sign and it was not easy to believe, but when they saw the real thing served, it was the dish they ordered, and their hearts were relieved, and a smile appeared on their faces, "Hey, don't say it, this brand is really good, I don't know the words of this dish when I come back." ”
In addition to sending the brand, Qi Jiuli also has to stick to the counter, and the small basket with the wooden sign on the table on the counter will send the dishes one after another, and when the table is full of dishes, Qi Jiuli will take out the wooden card to calculate the price, and have a number in her heart in advance, and when the guests come to check out after eating, she can say the price in one bite, which is convenient for cashiering.
Guests who come to eat generally always ask the price of the meal before ordering, and they are actually clearer about how much money they eat than the guys in the restaurant, Qi Jiuli quoted the correct price, and will say the food and wine ordered again before checking out, one by one corresponds to all the correct, more convincing, the people who pay the money are all very happy, and they also smiled and praised Qi Jiuli's ability as an apprentice in the bookkeeper.
After a wave of busy work at noon, Qi Jiuli sorted out the noon accounts first, how many portions of braised pork, how much silver money a portion is, and how many silver coins in total...... Write everything clearly, and then make a total at the bottom, and it's done.
I had to write and hang wooden signs early this morning, and I was very busy for a long time, and I didn't even eat lunch in time, Qi Jiuli waited for the accounts to be recorded, and then took advantage of the free time to go to the back kitchen to eat lunch.
"Jiuli, you're busy, come and have lunch." Jiang Houchun himself was also sweating, and when he saw Qi Jiuli coming over, he hurriedly beckoned her to come for lunch, "Shopkeeper Yan has just eaten, you eat with him, Shopkeeper Yan has explained." ”
Qi Jiuli, who wanted to refuse, stopped talking, nodded with a smile, and then went out of the kitchen and went to the room next to the kitchen, which was a special place to eat.
Qi Jiuli entered, Yan Chengtao sat on the table alone, and before he moved his chopsticks, he smiled and waved when he saw himself, this was waiting for himself, Qi Jiuli hurriedly stepped forward and sat down, "Yan shopkeeper." ”
"Jiuli, it's been hard today, eat quickly, eat quickly." Yan Chengtao gently used the chopsticks that he hadn't used to clip a braised chicken leg for Qi Jiuli.
"Thank you, Mr. Yan." Although he only ate a few bites of chicken last night, Qi Jiuli felt that it was not enjoyable, and now when he saw the chicken legs, he swallowed his saliva unconsciously.
The chicken I ate before was still a pheasant from Brother Lobby when he cut pine branches, but in total, there was only a pheasant weighing a few catties, with chicken feathers and some inedible offal, and there were even fewer left, with more people and less meat, Qi Jiuli thought about letting Qi Shixiang and Qi Shiyi eat two more pieces, and he ate a total of three pieces.
The chicken leg in the bowl in front of him is not small, and at first glance it is a domestic chicken, thinking of his relatives who have not even eaten lunch at home or in a private school, Qi Jiuli restrained himself, "Shopkeeper Yan, can I take this chicken leg home and eat it at night?" ”
Yan Chengtao's eyes showed kindness, and he nodded with a smile, "Of course you can." ”
After Yan Chengtao finished speaking, he sandwiched a chicken wing and gave it to Qi Jiuli, "Let's eat this now, take the chicken leg back and eat it with the family." ”
Qi Jiuli showed his white and tender teeth, smiled and nodded, "Shopkeeper Yan, you are really good." ”
Qi Jiuli ate two bowls of sorghum sweet potato rice at noon today, and because of Yan Chengtao's presence today, this lunch is better than yesterday, with chicken, egg custard, and two vegetarian dishes.
"Shopkeeper Yan, the noon account boy has been recorded, you can take a look." After lunch, Qi Jiuli said to Yan Chengtao.
Yan Chengtao was a little surprised, this speed was fast enough, and when he arrived at the counter, he saw the account written by Qi Jiuli on the practice paper, and the smile on his face did not stop, and he took out the abacus to verify them one by one, and he was all right.
Yan Chengtao patted Qi Jiuli's shoulder and praised with a smile, "Very good, Jiuli, I'm really right, it won't be long before you get rid of the title of apprentice." ”
"But you'll have to practice that again." Yan Chengtao said.
Qi Jiuli touched his head embarrassedly, "Yes, it's just to waste some pen, ink and paper." ”
"It's okay, some of the bad ledger paper is torn off and put together, you use those to practice more, as for the pen and ink, the one on the counter will be specially used by you." Yan Chengtao said amiably.
"Thank you Shopkeeper Yan, the kid will practice well." Qi Jiuli expressed determination.
Now although Qi Jiuli has started to keep accounts, it is just recorded on the paper of practicing calligraphy, and Yan Chengtao still has to write it in the account book, but because there is a record of Qi Jiuli, Yan Chengtao only needs to copy it once, saving a lot of effort.
With the familiarity of noon, when I came to Qiuwei Restaurant for dinner, the guys in the restaurant were already able to introduce the usefulness of the brand very well, and even the names of the dishes on the brand were known.
