Chapter 16: Encounter (1)

8018 A.D. Continent of Tyatus, Dynasty of Ayarien, North, Blue Jade City, May

All living beings, although their postures are different, but their hearts are similar;

Some people and some ways are really naked greed, and some behaviors and some regions are more or less civilized, but the ultimate goal is the same, to get the benefits they want.

Endless cultivators pursue the ethereal power and worship the realm of self-reverence;

Ordinary people who are desert dogs, some of them live day and night in order to support their families, and some of them work hard day and night;

It's a pity that these many lives have different concepts, different statuses, and different situations, but they all do the same thing;

Some people feel human affection in the process, some people feel heaven and earth in that process, and some people feel the land in that process;

All things pray, and the devotion to nature that never changes the change of seasons remains;

So, in the eccantic world;

Some people walk according to the way of heaven, some people go against the way of heaven, they are just walking by the way, no matter whether the pursuit can be realized in the end, this vast number of sentient beings, for power, for the immortal way, one after the other, wax tears always;

However, if you can do it without regrets, if you don't regret it;

If you don't regret your life or the smile you smile when you first saw her, then all this is not necessarily right or wrong.

In a conference room on the third floor of the Chenguang Ramen Building, Chen Xixi, the head chef Wei Xilina and the other five chefs, Han Xiao and the other two foremen, as well as Yar and Shi, sat inside and quietly listened to the boss Chen Xixi talk about the preparation of the border defense conference in the Jade God Palace of Blue Jade City on June 18, Chen Xixi's expression was a little solemn, and it seemed that he attached great importance to this business.

It was close to midnight now, and after seeing off General Gu and his party, there were not many guests left who continued to stay in the hotel. The restaurant has stopped eating at the moment, and a few service staff have been arranged to take care of the guests who are still in the store at this time and are about to leave but still want to have some drinks and chat at the end, and these service staff will pick up some leftovers by the way. The basic staff responsible for the daily operation of the hotel are now all sitting in the conference room on the third floor, although everyone is tired from a day's work, but there are no complaints in the conference room at this time, first, everyone can see that the boss is serious and responsible; second, the work that will be assigned may make them earn a few more months of wages, it seems that this patience is the clerks have a strong sense of recognition of this job.

Still absent-minded, with wandering eyes and a preoccupied look, Yar and Shi sat quietly at the last seat at the conference table...

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's a little late today, and I apologize to you in advance. Normally, the chef has a substitute, and the foreman also has a rotation system of leaving work early, but there is no leave today, because in the next month, our hotel will take a relatively large business, and the hotel staff may disperse some people, and those who stay in the store and those who go on a business trip must do their jobs."

"Sister Chen, you can arrange your work normally, we are not tired, we have been working for so many years, it is normal to contribute to the hotel. Besides, we are a big family, and everyone should work hard for the sake of the family," said the other chef next to Vicilina.

"Thank you, Lao Liu. Anyway, I'm embarrassed to leave everyone so late, because things are in a hurry, Wei Xilina and Han Xiao have just temporarily drawn up the attendance schedule and activity schedule for chefs and service staff in the next month, in order to save time, I will read it to you, if you have comments, you will talk to me tomorrow, and implement this first. By the way, Han Xiao, the work of the service staff will be handed over to you, you can read it out normally tomorrow, if you have a particularly big opinion, you can report it to me" Chen Xixi said the above content a little quickly.

"Yes, Sister Chen," Han Xiao immediately agreed.

After reading the attendance time of the hotel staff in the next month, Chen Xixi emphasized the activity time and arranged for the head chef to increase the purchase of some kitchen utensils, and explained some of Han Xiao's work, during which no one put forward much opinion, only one chef, said that he had not been in the store for a long time, and he was inexperienced, and on the 18th, he went to the Jade God Palace with the boss and the head chef to cook, and he was very worried that he would do something wrong。

"Okay, everyone understands the above content, and I ask you to start preparing tomorrow. I'll wait and talk about a few details and dietary precautions, uh, that's right, Linna, Shi'er I don't think it's in a good state today, do you have to go to class tomorrow, it's too tiring to stay up like this, you and him go back first, you take a look at Shi'er, and tell me more when you go to work tomorrow" Chen Xixi suddenly remembered that Yar and Shi had been in a taciturn state, worried about whether the child was too tired recently, whether he was sick, and said directly to Wei Xilina with concern.

Wei Xilina looked at Sister Chen's concerned eyes, and saw that Sister Chen really didn't want to make herself and the child work too hard, but everyone was here, and it was not good for her to go first, so she turned her head sideways and called her son: "Shi'er?"

Yar and Shi reflected for a while, and when the surrounding clerks wondered what was wrong with the child today, Yar and Shi looked at their mother and said in surprise: "Ah! I'm here, what's wrong Mom." ”

"Shi'er, are you too tired today, is there anything going on at school?"

"No, no, no, I'm fine, Mom. ”

Wei Xilina looked at Chen Xixi again and said, "Sister Chen, as the head chef, I must listen to the last detail, which is also the determination of the little sister." I'll let my child go back first, where he needs him, and I'll talk to him when I get home. ”

"Well, that's fine. ”

Wei Xilina turned back with a smile on her face and said to Yar Shi: "Shi'er, normally, you can go home early, why didn't you tell your mother today, you go back now, go back to wash and sleep, and you have to go to school tomorrow." ”

"Mom, I'm fine, I'll accompany you. ”

"Go back, I see you're too tired, go back quickly, don't let Mom worry. ”

"I ...... Well, you pay attention to the body. Then I'll go first, Aunt Chen, Uncle Liu, Sister Han... Everyone, Shi'er will go back first. ”

The crowd said, "Kid, walk slowly, stay safe... It's so late? ”

Yar Shi looked at everyone's concerned eyes, smiled too, and said: "Thank you uncles, brothers, sisters, my mother knows, my home is not far from here, I usually go back by myself, I am very familiar, it's okay!"

"Okay, then Shi'er, you pay more attention to safety," Chen Xixi said with concern as she looked at Yar Shi.

"Don't worry, Aunt Chen, then I'll go" After saying hello, Yar and Shi said hello to everyone, and then walked out of the door of the conference room and walked downstairs slowly.

In the conference room, Chen Xixi looked at Wei Xilina and said: "Blame me today, there are too many things, I let Yang Yang go to sleep, and forgot the time of Yar and Shi, this child, I should have let him go back." ”

"Sister Chen, it's okay, my son usually doesn't sleep early, and besides, he also needs to come to help in the next month, and it's a good thing that he knows about some work in advance. ”

"Okay. So, ladies and gentlemen, I will take a little more time for you to talk about the importance that the imperial generals have attached to the border defense conference held in our Blue Jade City this time and some of the details of our diet in the future. First of all, I think people who know the inside story have already understood, because when I was about to send off the soldiers of the imperial capital just now, many people were around me, you heard me call the general, that's right, for this small catering matter, a general in the imperial capital personally stayed in the restaurant to discuss, which is also the ancient general can afford us and our hotel. In some of the details of the reputation of the hotel, General Gu has done a good job for us, you don't have to worry about this, now how to do a good job in your hands, during the conference to serve the city and the surrounding six cities of the high-ranking officials, is the key, to be honest, some of the etiquette of the government army we don't know much, just when General Gu was leaving, I explained that on the 12th of next month, just now I read that the people on the list need to stay in the hotel with me in advance, for certain guidance and training, Adjutant Lu will also arrange a large number of helpers to cooperate with us, are their own people, everyone should not have any vigilance when the time comes, we must work together。 I guarantee here that once this grand event is successfully closed, all the officials in these seven cities will be satisfied with eating and drinking, and the income of our hotel will be a lot, a lot, and at that time, your bonus in June will be several times not to mention, as the boss, I have also prepared a lot of red envelope rewards!"

Hearing this, the chefs and foremen present were unconsciously happy, and everyone knew that Chen Xixi was a very particular and caring boss for his employees. Besides, everyone is an ordinary person, the role of money for ordinary people is particularly large, no one has a hard time without money, and I heard that I can earn a good bonus by working hard, and of course my enthusiasm is very high.

After being happy, Han Xiao looked a little worried, looked at Chen Xixi and said: "Sister Chen, you just mentioned in the list that let me and Lao Yu stay in the store to preside over the daily operation of the restaurant, and Lao Yu and I will do our best to complete it, but after so many years, I can't see you at this time, I ......"

"Han Xiao, these are all normal, things have changed, there is no normality, you and Sister Linna went out to work this time, this home is handed over to you and Lao Yu to me to feel at ease, and we can have the best performance outside, you don't have any pressure, everything is normal." If you have a lot of doubts, you just let him read the announcement on the third floor, and they will naturally understand everything, and you will be mainly responsible for the low-end dishes and staple foods that are usually the main dishes, and Lao Liu can also do individual high-end dishes. ”

"Yes, Sister Chen, I know. ”

"Hmm. By the way, Lao Yu, do you have any questions?" Chen Xixi turned to the employee who was called Lao Yu.

"No, boss, don't worry. ”

"Haha, okay, then everything will be done according to the schedule of activities I just mentioned, it's the end of May, time is pressing, everyone has to prepare in advance. So next, I will talk about some details of the catering production, of course, there may be changes after arriving at the hotel, I will inform you then...... "Next, Chen Xixi talked about the precautions for food cooking and wine preparation in detail, the whole meeting lasted about an hour and a half, and when Chen Xixi announced the end of the meeting, everyone left one after another.

After Han Xiao left, Wei Xilina remained in the conference room, at this time there were only two people in the conference room, Chen Xixi may have been too tired from the day's work and arrangements, and she leaned down on the leather chair to close her eyes and recuperate, her brows were a little tight. Wei Xilina looked at Chen Xixi with closed eyes and said softly: "Sister Chen, you take Yang Yang back to rest early, it's past midnight now, it's not early." ”

Chen Xixi, who closed his eyes with his eyes closed, said quietly: "Well, let's go, let's go together." ”

Seeing that Chen Xixi didn't get up, Wei Xilina whispered: "Why don't you lie down first, and I'll go to the kitchen to check the equipment." ”

"It's too late, I'll do it tomorrow, I'll get up" Chen Xixi paused for a moment and said, "Linna, it's been so many years, thank you for your hard work." ”

"Sister Chen, don't be polite to me, I should thank you, you treat me and Shi'er as your own. ”

At first, I wanted to start trading, but when I made more money and hired more people, I just had a leisure, fun, shopping, traveling to various places, and seeing the scenery of the world. Unexpectedly, why is this hotel, the more formal it is, the busier it is? Linna, I can't stand you" Chen Xixi changed the posture of a strong woman who acted appropriately when the hotel was open, and at this time, Wei Xilina felt that she had heard it wrong, and Chen Xixi's words even revealed some weak and helpless emotions.

Wei Xilina didn't want to think too much, was silent for a while, and responded to Chen Xixi: "Sister Chen, you think too much, and you talk too much, these are normal phenomena; No matter what happens, I'm with you. ”

Hearing this, Chen Xixi, whose eyes were closed, did not say anything, but at this moment I saw her brows twitch and then furrow, and that feeling would make people understand how moved or unbearable she was at this time.

Blue Jade City Yar, Shi Jia

There was a sound of unlocking and pushing the door on the first floor, Wei Xilina had made the range of her movements as light as possible to avoid waking up her baby son with too loud noise, she walked into the house, gently climbed a few steps of stairs, and saw that the lights in the room on the second floor had been extinguished, and she felt that it had been off for a long time, so she was relieved, thinking that her son had fallen asleep, and today was also very tired.

Wei Xilina didn't think much about it, and after a brief tidying up, she went back to the bedroom on the first floor to get ready for bed, put down her tired body, and breathed in the extremely familiar air of the house.

On the second floor, Yar Shi looked at the ceiling that he was also very familiar with the help of a little light outside the window, and he didn't know how long he had been watching motionless like this, and after a long time, a voice came out of his mouth gently.

"Do you want to ask her?"

"Can you beg her?"
