Qi Shaoling walked aimlessly on the street, and unconsciously walked near the hotel where he used to work, thinking that he hadn't seen his original colleagues for a long time, since he had come here, it was better to take this opportunity to meet them, after being separated for so long, he really missed everyone. Thinking of this, Qi Shaoling walked towards the hotel. It's already afternoon, and there are no more customers in the hotel, and everyone is eating. Seeing Qi Shaoling walk in, a waiter habitually put down the dishes and chopsticks, stood up and said, "Welcome, gentlemen." When she saw that it was Qi Shaoling, she couldn't help but be stunned again, but then stepped forward and punched Qi Shaoling's chest, and said reproachfully, "It turned out to be you, I haven't seen you for so long, have you forgotten our buddies?" Why are you free today, come and see us!" The boss on the side also looked at Qi Shaoling with a smile and said, "Don't make trouble Xiaoling, hey, Shaoling, have you eaten, if you haven't eaten, let's eat some together!" Qi Shaoling hurriedly replied. I've eaten, you don't have to worry about me, you eat first, and we'll talk after dinner. After speaking, he sat down and admired the tropical ornamental fish raised by the boss.

After a while, the meal was finished, and after the people in the back kitchen came over to say hello to Qi Shaoling, they returned to the kitchen one after another, leaving only the boss and a few waiters at the front desk in the hall. At this time, the boss walked over, handed Qi Shaoling a bottle of drink and said, "What are you doing lately, why can't you see your kid figure?Oh, by the way, your mother's health is better, I'm busy all day long, and I haven't been able to go to the hospital to see your mother, I'm really sorry!" "My mother is fine, and now she is basically fine, thank you boss for your concern!" "That's good, hey, by the way, what kind of work have you been doing lately?" "I haven't found a suitable job yet, isn't this just looking for it!" "Oh, I see! I do have a place to go, although the work is not too tiring, but if you work late, I don't know if you want to do it. Qi Shaoling couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "I won't tell you, I'm really exhausted now, just say what kind of work it is! As long as it's not those who steal chickens and dogs, and cheat and kidnap, I'm willing to do it." The boss said, "That's not it, isn't that pushing you into the fire pit?" I'm going to talk to you about the work of the bar, my brother opened a new bar in the development zone, and there is a lack of a guy who cuts the fruit plate, I know that your knife skills are good, and you have practiced carving yourself, I think you should be able to win this stall, it really can't work, you can learn from others for a few days, with your talent, that is, a matter of minutes, how about it, are you interested?" "Okay, that's great! When can I go to work?" Qi Shaoling said excitedly. "It's okay tonight, his business is very busy, at least you can be a helper when you go! I'll give you a phone number in a moment, and you can contact my friend directly." After speaking, the boss stood up, walked to the bar, took a business card, handed it to Qi Shaoling, and said, "There is an address and phone number on it, you can call him after 8 o'clock in the evening, you can put away the business card! When you see the boss there after that, you will say that I introduced you, and he will definitely keep you." "Great, thank you boss" "Thank you, my brother is in difficulty, I can help naturally, besides, you don't have a chance to develop with me, I feel ashamed, this time I have the right to compensate you!"

When he got home, Qi Shaoling told his mother the news. Qi Peiyun still disagreed a little at first, she also knew that the bar was a messy place, there were everyone, and if she didn't pay attention to it, she would get into unnecessary trouble, she still hoped that Qi Shaoling could find a proper job, at least the kind that she didn't have to worry about. Qi Shaoling had no choice but to persuade his mother: Most of the people who go to the bar to consume are still good people, and after working all day during the day, they go to the bar for recreation and relaxation, and those people will not easily cause trouble or make trouble, besides, the owner who can open a bar is not a fuel-efficient lamp, how can he let those people make trouble in their own bar. What's more, the high salary given in the bar can alleviate the current predicament of the mother and son. To put it mildly, Qi Peiyun reluctantly agreed, but there are still conditions, as long as he encounters a better job, Qi Shaoling must immediately and unconditionally withdraw from the bar. Qi Shaoling naturally agreed, and at the same time promised his mother that he would never take the initiative to cause trouble, or quarrel with guests for no reason.

Now that the matter has been settled, Qi Shaoling began to prepare, and found his two carving knives again, they have not been used for a long time, there is a little rust on the body of the knife, find a grinding stone and sharpen it well, and open the blade. I got another holster, put away the two carving knives, and everything was ready.

At a quarter past 8 o'clock in the evening, Qi Shaoling picked up the business card given by the boss and dialed the phone number on it. On the other end of the phone was a middle-aged man's voice, when he learned what Qi Shaoling meant, he didn't say much, and directly asked him to come to the store immediately. I put down the phone, said goodbye to my mother, stopped a taxi, and went straight to the direction of the development zone.

When he arrived at his destination, Qi Shaoling got out of the car and looked up to see four large glowing characters 'Night Bar'. Walking into the bar, a waiter stepped forward and asked, "Welcome, gentlemen" Qi Shaoling explained his intention, and the waiter led him to the bar, came to a private room only inside, knocked on the door, and there was a sound of inviting in. The waiter made a gesture of invitation and left.

Qi Shaoling pushed open the door and saw a middle-aged man, sitting on a sofa staring at the coffee table in front of him, on which there were several glass goblets containing liquids of different colors. Seeing someone coming in, the middle-aged man raised his head and said, "You are Qi Shaoling!" I know your intention, I am the boss here, my name is Hua Duzhou, you can usually call me Boss Hua." Listen to my buddy say you can carve, good, I'm short of a guy here who can carve, come with me, I'll show you your job. After speaking, Hua Duzhou stood up, took Qi Shaoling back to the bar hall, came to a semicircular bar and stood still, and said to a young man inside, "Xiaolong, I will bring you a helper, his name is Qi Shaoling." He can carve, so you can leave the fruit bowl to him later!" "Oh, come in," the young man named Xiaolong replied.

Qi Shaoling walked into the bartender from a copy on the side, the one named Xiaolong was obviously the bartender here, and he should be older than Qi Shaoling. Qi Shaoling stepped forward and said, "Brother Long, the junior brother has just arrived, please take care of me." "Well, since you know how to carve, that's good, I'm short of manpower, you can familiarize yourself with the environment first, and I'll teach you how to set the fruit bowl later." After saying that, he opened a small door behind him and walked in. Qi Shaoling answered, and then walked around the bar, he wanted to be familiar with the arrangement of various objects, the placement of materials, and the names and prices of various drinks and cigarettes. Hua Duzhou had already told him just now that in addition to setting the fruit plate, his job was to assist Fan Xiaolong, the bartender, in selling the drinks and cigarettes here. If the sales are good, those manufacturers who sell alcohol on consignment have a rebate, and some of the rebate will be distributed to the people in the bartender, which can be regarded as an extra income. Therefore, Qi Shaoling had to familiarize himself with everything here in the shortest possible time, especially the prices of those drinks and cigarettes.

After a while, Fan Xiaolong walked out of the hut, holding several bags of fruit and a container that looked like a dragon boat. Put these things on the bar, and took out a small cutting board from under the bar, Qi Shaoling said, "Now I will teach you how to arrange the fruit plate, it is very simple, you will learn it as soon as you learn it." Then, you see, apples should be cut into wheat ear knives, dragon fruit should be cut into diamond-shaped pieces, bananas should be cut into hob pieces, white pears should be dug into balls with a small spoon, and grapes should be directly grained, that's pretty much it, and then you see how I operate. After speaking, Fan Xiaolong began to process all kinds of fruits into the required shapes and put them in the container of the dragon boat, and the fruit plate was completed.

Qi Shaoling looked at it and felt that it was not difficult, so he took some fruits on the side, and according to Fan Xiaolong's practice, he made a new plate and placed it there. Fan Xiaolong stepped forward and looked at it and said, "Well, it's okay, although there are still some shortcomings, but it's good to be able to do this for the first time, the next thing is the speed of plating, the guests' mouths are very anxious, and they want to eat it immediately after ordering the fruit plate, your next task is to work hard to improve the speed of life, and when you are proficient, you can deal with it, take your time!" Qi Shaoling nodded, he knew the importance of this. In fact, this is similar to him in the hotel, everything must pay attention to a speed, the same is true for the fruit plate, not only to look good, but also to have speed, guests will have opinions after waiting for a long time, and the supervisor will come to urge the order. Of course, that's not what the boss wants.

Next, Fan Xiaolong asked some more things, especially when he asked Qi Shaoling if he brought the carving knife, Qi Shaoling naturally took it with him, and immediately took it out as soon as he heard him. Fan Xiaolong said again, "Let me tell you, the reason why the boss will find a guy who can carve is because there is a lot of knowledge here." In addition to these simple plating, you will also need to make some high-end fruit bowls, which will require your carving skills. For example, if a guest has a birthday and comes to us to spend, we will send a plate of fruit carved with the old birthday star, and of course the guest will be happy, and when he is happy, he will have more drinks, and I don't need to say what more drinks mean! After speaking, Chong Qi Shaoling blinked, looking very funny.
