Chapter 52: White Spirits and White Paintings
Walking from the gate of the store to the gate of the outer courtyard, Nangong Ming felt that it had taken a long time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoAt this time, the sun had set behind the distant mountains, the sky was filled with brilliant sunsets, the street lights had not yet turned on, and the buildings in front cast gray shadows.
There were no pedestrians on the road, and occasionally only nearby residents passed by, and they were in a hurry, and they didn't even glance at the shops on the side of the road.
Nangong Ming took advantage of this time to quickly look for the scene in his mind that appeared in the TV movie to greet guests. It seems that except for the fact that you don't need to throw a towel and nod your waist like the shopkeeper, you basically only say one sentence:
"Welcome!"
In this summary, Nangong Ming felt that it was not as difficult as he imagined, and when someone passed by, Nangong Ming plucked up the courage to try once, but the other party seemed to be startled, and walked away quickly. Nangong Ming was a little discouraged, reflecting on whether he was too loud.
"New here?"
An immature voice sounded from somewhere, Nangong Ming lowered his head and saw two little girls standing under the steps, exactly the same little girls, as if there was an invisible mirror between the two.
"The new kid." Said the girl on the right.
"What is he doing?" The little girl on the left asked.
"Scare people." The little girl on the right replied.
Nangong Ming felt that the muscles on his face twitched with a smile.
"Bai Ling, white painting, don't be naughty." A dignified and steady old woman came from behind the twins. Her hands were folded lightly in front of her, her hair neatly combed and pinned into a bun at the back of her head. There was an apologetic smile on his face, but his eyebrows did not diminish his majesty in the slightest. Nangong Ming was in awe, and involuntarily bowed slightly to her.
Hearing the call, the twin sisters jumped up and ran to their mother-in-law's side, each holding her mother-in-law's hand.
"What cute twins." Nangong Ming praised from the bottom of his heart. The twin sisters wore identical white dresses with their hair combed into double ponytails, as if to distinguish them, with the rubber band of the girl on the left being black and the girl on the right being white.
"Thank you." The mother-in-law thanked her in a friendly manner and stood straight at the bottom of the steps. Nangong Ming suddenly realized that he was standing in the middle of the door, so he hurriedly flashed to the side and invited them in. The mother-in-law smiled amiably at Nangong Ming, and slowly walked into the store with the two twins. The twins took advantage of their mother-in-law's inattention to make a grimace at Nangong Ming behind their backs, and Nangong Ming unceremoniously replied.
Perhaps because the head was good, he successfully welcomed the first batch of guests, and the guests were not as wolf-like as they imagined, and Nangong Ming's confidence doubled. He adjusted his mentality from the beginning, but whenever a guest passed by, no matter whether the other party wanted to enter the door for dinner or not, Nangong Ming would greet and welcome. Once you open your mouth, it's easy for words to blurt out.
Winter is just a few days away, and it doesn't feel cold in the south, even in winter, and in the evening, it's not uncommon for the sultry air to wander leisurely through the roads and trees.
Nangong Ming was shaking his clothes to dissipate heat while everyone was passing by, and suddenly a light shone on his head, and when he looked up, it turned out to be a round signboard lit up.
As if infected, the street lights on the road also lit up in pairs, and the neon lights in front of the shops lit up.
Nangong Ming felt like a god of the night mischievously let go of the hand covering his eyes, revealing the surprise behind him. Nangong Ming seemed to be in a fantasy space all of a sudden, and came to the world of calling. For the first time, he realized that not far from Aunt Beauty's eerie and old world there would be a completely different scene.
A high-frequency sound of footsteps approached from the road behind the fence, and Nangong Ming turned his head to see a figure approaching this way, so he was ready to wait for her to come and say hello.
The sound of high heels frequently stepping on the ground reached the bottom of the steps in a blink of an eye, and Nangong Ming was just about to say hello, when the woman walked quickly past Nangong Ming, Nangong Ming turned around and saw a woman walking into the store, holding a five or six-year-old child in her hand. After a while, the woman walked out of the store, and the child seemed to remain in the store. The woman looked down at the watch in her hand and walked away quickly. Judging from the uniform, it seems to be a white-collar worker, Nangong Ming looked at her back as she left in a hurry, and Nangong Ming couldn't think of any other reason to go out at this time than to work overtime.
Nangong Ming heard footsteps coming from the store behind him, and turned around to see Chrissy walking towards him.
"Are you still used to it?" Chrissy asked.
"It's okay, it's not as scary as I imagined." Nangong Ming said.
Chrissy nodded, looked around, and said to Nangong Ming: "I'll take you to familiarize yourself with the work, there are no guests yet, and you may need someone to help you when you get busy later."
Nangong Ming readily agreed.
"Let's get to know the seat number first." Chrissy introduced that the table display on the first floor is arranged in a zigzag shape from the hall to the outer courtyard, starting from the first table next to the door, there are no No. 4, No. 13, No. 38 and No. 44, the first floor is all small digits, and the large digits are on the third floor.
Nangong Ming saw that the old woman who had entered the door first was sitting in the corner of the hall with her twin sisters, watching her granddaughters eat ice cream with a kind face. In the next corner, behind a cluster of potted plants, a little boy was lying on the table and writing quietly with a pencil, Nangong Mingchai was the child of the white-collar woman.
Chrissy walked to the food preparation table and took a recipe and handed it to Nangong Ming, asking Nangong Ming to remember a few special desserts, Western food and pizza, as well as the price.
"Some customers will ask you to recommend, and it doesn't matter if you can't remember it at first, you can read it according to the recipe, and after saying it a few times, you will naturally remember it." Chrissy raised her head slightly proudly, and Nangong Ming was amused by him.
Chrissy then taught him about the document submission process. Each waiter will give a small notebook and a pen, and the name of the dish will be written down in the book when the customer orders.
The ordering machine is a machine similar to a station ticket machine that stands at the entrance of the counter, and the dishes are displayed on the panel, and you only need to click on the touch screen to place an order. Each store employee has a personal account and needs to use their own account when placing an order. Desserts and pizza should be separated from Western coffee and can be ordered separately, and desserts and pizza can be singled together. The wine should be billed independently, no need to place an order at the ordering machine, and the receipt of the drink cannot be lost, it must be handed over to the counter, and the drink can be received directly without waiting. However, the juice must be ordered at the ordering machine, and then it will be picked up directly at the counter.
Since Nangong's name had not yet been entered, Chrissy suggested that the order menu could be handed over to the people behind the counter and placed with their accounts. However, they have to take advantage of the attendance at the end of the month, because the documents are recorded in their names, and if something goes wrong, their bonuses will also be deducted.
