Volume 4 The World of Light Chapter 188 The New Man Has Arrived
With Uncle Ye's order, the time to open the store has arrived.
EnterAs Uncle Ye said, there are almost twice as many people who come to dine today than usual, and it seems that tonight is really busy, with the influx of customers, the quiet store instantly became noisy.
In the face of such a situation, although Xiao Qi seemed at a loss for a while, he still worked hard to complete the order work table after table.
Whenever there was something she didn't understand, she would come to me and ask me, and when I explained it, she would be able to memorize it firmly and learn very quickly.
After a while, in the face of the work of ordering, although it is still a little rusty, there will be no more mistakes, and it is very good to be able to do this in a short period of time.
At the same time, the guests have already filled all the seats in the store, and after taking Xiaoqi and me and others to report the dishes ordered by the guests to the back kitchen, the dishes will begin to be cooked one after another, and then different kinds of dishes that have been cooked will begin to be handed out from the kitchen port.
Xiao Qi, who had just breathed a sigh of relief and had beads of sweat on his forehead, saw this scene, and hurriedly cheered up and followed us to start serving the food.
Excluding the kitchen staff and Uncle Ye who sat at the cash register, the rest of our service staff, including me and Xiaoqi, have a total of five people, who manage the five table areas in the store.
There are a total of 7 tables in each table area, and at this time, people with a small number of diners in the area will come to help those with a large number of diners, but now it is full, and no one is busy managing their own areas, and there is no time to estimate other people.
Xiao Qi encountered this kind of scene on the first day of his arrival, and he must have been unbearable, and I was busy with my area as fast as I could, and confirmed that it was correct, and the guests had no other order requirements.
Come to Xiaoqi's side as soon as possible and assist him in completing the serving work in the area he is responsible for.
Seeing me coming, Xiao Qi, who was already sweating profusely, said with gratitude in his eyes: "Wow, thank you Caesar, I thought it would be very difficult to order, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult to be responsible for the serving of these seven tables by one person." ”
I hope that he will encourage: "The busiest time is the time to serve, rest assured, as long as you are busy after this stage, the following will be much easier, nothing more than a small amount of staple food and wine for the guests, the first time is so busy, more adaptation will be good for a few days, I will help you." “
Seeing me say this, Xiao Qi said with gratitude in his eyes: "Thank you so much, Kaisa." ”
I smiled faintly and said, "If you want to thank you, let's wait for this busy time to pass, well, the guests at that table in this area you are responsible for are urging food again..."
In the following time, I assisted Xiaoqi while managing my own area, shuttling back and forth between the two areas for a while, although I boasted that my physical fitness was great, but after more than an hour of non-stop busyness, I also felt a little tired.
But in the end, I helped Xiaoqi to prepare all the dishes in his area, and at the same time, I did not delay the serving work in the area under my control, and now the guests are eating peacefully, and at the same time, there are sporadic guests who have left here after eating.
The busiest period was finally over, and I was leaning against the wall of the restaurant, lighting a cigarette and taking a break.
It's not just me, it's Xiaoqi too.
I saw that she wiped the sweat from her forehead, and after confirming that the guests in the area she was responsible for had not made up the order, she walked to the cashier where Uncle Ye was, and after not knowing what she had talked about, Uncle Ye handed her two bottles of soda.
Then she went straight to me, handed me a bottle, and smiled softly, "Caesar, thank you so much for your help, come." ”
I took the drink she handed me, took a sip, and thanked her, "Thank you." “
In the face of my gratitude, Xiao Qi shook his head and said: "I should be the one who should say thank you, I wanted to pay Uncle Ye, but he didn't accept the drink money I handed him, it seems that he is a very good person to get along with, and at the same time, there is Caesar here, I really found the right shop to work in." ”
After listening to Xiao Qi's words, I smiled and said: "Uncle Ye is very good, seeing that you have worked so the first day of coming, just two bottles of drinks, he will definitely not take your money, although the work is indeed a little hard, but everyone is quite harmonious and united, compared to those messy shops, it is really a good choice." “
Xiao Qi nodded and responded, "That's true..."
At this moment, before Xiao Qi could finish the next words, the guests in the area in charge of it were beckoning Xiao Qi to order some other food, and when she heard that the guests were greeting her, Xiao Qi gave up continuing the conversation with me and walked quickly to the guests.
In the following time, many of the customers in the store were almost finished eating, and they were gradually leaving the store, and finally, the last table of customers also left the store.
I glanced at the clock hanging on the wall of the store, and it was almost 10 o'clock in the evening, so there were almost no more customers coming to eat at this time, so I could leave the store and finish my part-time job after cleaning up the store a little.
After another busy time, after cleaning up and talking goodbye to Uncle Ye, I picked up my backpack and left the store.
The winter night was very cold, and I lit a cigarette while standing in front of the store, and I was about to leave when I saw Xiaoqi walking out of the store.
Seeing that I hadn't left, he walked up to me, looked at me and smiled, "It's been a hard day, Caesar, are you going home?"
Seeing that he took the initiative to talk, I nodded to him and said, "Yes, I'm afraid there will be a strong wind tonight, so it's better to go home early, my home is in that low-rent house near the east, is it on the way?"
After I finished speaking, Xiao Qi nodded happily and said, "That's right, my home is also in the eastern direction, near the 'Shadow River', and my distance is shorter than yours." ”
The Phantom River is a river that runs through Nanzhen, and when I have nothing to do in the summer, I often fish and swim there with Han, and when I heard the location of Xiaoqi's address, since I stopped by the road, I went with him.
Moreover, Nanzhen at night is only calm on the surface, and in those dark corners, all kinds of shady things are happening all the time.
Although Qinglongmen controls this area, they basically won't make a move against ordinary residents, but the rest of the small-scale forces are not like this, so it is indeed a little dangerous for Xiaoqi to walk at night with a girl.
It's past 10 o'clock at night, and Xiaoqi and I are walking on this almost empty road...
