Volume 1 Chapter 272、I call it flexible employment
Zhang Xi's newly opened restaurant, in an inconspicuous alley near Sanlitun, with its novel decoration design, this restaurant has now become a hot mess on short videos, and many Internet celebrities have come here to check in.
The locomotive-style décor design is very cool, all kinds of Harley locomotives can be seen everywhere, we just arrived and saw a girl sitting on a motorcycle at the door posing for a photo, and there were several girls waiting in line to take pictures.
Harley represents not only motorcycles, but a free, unique and individual way of life, which is very in line with the outlook on life of young people today.
I felt that my blood was about to be ignited by the motorcycle atmosphere of the restaurant, and the whole person was very excited, and I couldn't help but shake my head to the rhythm of the music.
The restaurant business was booming, Zhang Xi and his wife were so busy kicking the back of the head that as soon as he saw me, he hurriedly beckoned to me:
"Brother Dei, hurry up and help, I can't be busy, table 6, help with six bottles of coercion."
「……」
This guy really doesn't treat me as an outsider, and I am happy to go over to help, but as soon as I turned my head, Lin Feifei also followed.
"What can I do to help?" Lin Feifei blinked her watery apricot eyes and said to Zhang Xi.
Zhang Xi is still a little human, "Brother and sister, don't worry about it! How inappropriate!"
Lin Feifei rolled up her sleeves and smiled: "It's okay, everyone is a friend, and I should help a little."
Zhang Xi didn't pretend anymore, thought about it, and said, "Okay, you can help me clean up table No. 3!" When I'm done, I'll treat you to supper."
"Okay!"
Lin Feifei glanced at the messy table, did not show any impatience, carried the trash can, and really went to clean up.
Zhang Xi said that an employee took leave today, and the business was very hot, so he couldn't be busy at all, but fortunately, our two "big grievances" came, otherwise he would have been blind.
Lin Feifei came back from cleaning up the table, and did not go to the side to rest, looked at Zhang Xi with burning eyes, and asked expectantly:
"What else can I do? You don't have to worry about it, just invite me to supper when you're done."
Zhang Xi suddenly let go of his mental baggage: "Then you can send some snacks to the customers waiting outside!"
Originally, some guests had been waiting for a long time, and they were angry, but when they saw that the "waiter" was so beautiful, they were all deflated, and changing their faces was like changing their heads, and it seemed that the effect of the beauty was different.
Zhang Xi's wife is responsible for ordering, Zhang Xi and I are responsible for serving, Lin Feifei cleans up the garbage and pours tea and water, the division of labor is clear, and everything is in order.
Lin Feifei was born as a flight attendant and had a strong sense of service, and when she poured water for the waiting guests, she even asked people whether they drank Coke or white water.
Lin Feifei and I are both fighting for the first time, I secretly glanced at her a few times, although she was too busy to keep her feet on the ground, but I could see that she was happy.
The barbecue restaurant is very lively inside and outside, and the night world of Sanlitun is full of colors, but the alleys not far from it are another world.
Some people are greedy for colorful and bizarre lights, but for me, those have flowed through my life, and I now prefer the smoke and fire wafting from the streets and alleys.
After sending off the last table of guests, it was close to the early hours of the morning.
After closing, Zhang Xi came out with a barbecue and a few bottles of beer, "Come on supper!"
Lin Feifei and I were paralyzed from exhaustion, and we were leaning together "dying", but when we saw that the barbecue was served, we immediately came back to life.
Zhang Xi's wife was settling accounts and said that she didn't have to worry about her, so the three of us set up a table outside the barbecue restaurant and ate it tastefully under the slightly cool and hazy autumn night.
The moonlight is coldly sprinkled down, with the dim street lamp, which has a special taste.
Zhang Xi lifted a glass of wine and looked at us with a sincere look, "Thank you both really today, you should have a casual meal tonight, next time you come, I will definitely make good arrangements for you!"
Lin Feifei and I also lifted the wine glass, touched it, and after raising my head and taking a sip of it, I put down the wine glass, looked at Zhang Xi, and said with a smile:
"Why do you close the door at this point? No, it is not
Is it a little too early?"
Zhang Xi waved his hand, stepped on the chair with one foot, and said with a smile: "No, I'm old, I can't stay up, and the money can't be earned, health first!" After staying up for a long time, my body can't stand it."
A hint of surprise flashed in Lin Feifei's eyes, "Brother Xi, you can be enlightened!"
Zhang Xi smiled embarrassedly, turned around and pointed at his wife, and sighed:
"A few days ago, my father-in-law was hospitalized, and the two of us took turns to accompany the bed, and the bed together these days made me understand that nothing is important about health, and there are people who have money! So we don't stay up late now."
I took a sip of wine and nodded heavily, "Yes, it's like I just quit my job today, and I'm already perverted enough in my heart, and my body must be healthy."
Zhang Xi looked surprised, "Are you unemployed?"
I laughed to myself, "What do you mean by being unemployed? I call it flexible employment."
Zhang Xi smiled bitterly, patted me on the shoulder, and whispered, "It's right to resign, you're not suitable for work?".
「hy?」
He clinked glasses with me, "Because you're an idealist, you're not the kind of person who just wants to make money, you have to make money with your own values, or you're not interested in making money."
I was a little embarrassed by what he said, and sighed, "So that's it! Everything is false to me, only poverty is true."
Lin Feifei smiled and looked at me with encouraging eyes, "Don't worry! Thirty years old! It's nothing if you don't have money now."
"Yes! Anyway, there will be more days when there is no money in the future." I laughed.
"......" Lin Feifei ignored me angrily.
Zhang Xi laughed, "Then what are you going to do in the future?"
I knocked a few peanuts and groaned, "I have a part-time job at an eldest sister's place, and I can earn okay every month, and I can still make money by writing!" It's not fun to go to work."
"Do you make money by writing?"
"It's okay! Last month I wanted to make $20,000."
Zhang Xi was serious, "What happened in the end?"
"In the end, we are still 18,000 short of our goal."
"Hahaha, the god is so special eighteen thousand......
Under the cold night sky, a burst of laughter erupted.
The adult world is really tiring, and most of what life shows us is not very friendly.
In order to live, we have to bow our heads to reality, are forced to do things we don't like, say things that disgust us, and live less and less like ourselves.
After getting Lin Feifei's consent, I lit a cigarette, and the pictures of the past seemed to be unknown to me as the smoke rings gradually dissipated, and the future suddenly became unknown to me, but this time, I knew to treat myself well.
Zhang Xi turned his head to look at Lin Feifei and asked, "Brother and sister, he resigned to do this at home, do you support it?"
Lin Feifei's eyes fell on me, and the corners of her lips lifted: "To be honest, I think it's a bit outrageous."
Zhang Xi and I were stunned at the same time, to be honest, I didn't expect her to say that.
Lin Feifei paused and smiled: "But people only live for a lifetime, I think we should do something outrageous."
Zhang Xi and I glanced at each other, and from his eyes, I could see a kind of envy.
He patted me on the shoulder and sighed, "Brother dei, you met a good woman."
I suddenly felt that I was definitely the happiest man in the world.
