food storage house

On October 10, Meng Yixuan's first day in food storage continued.

At 06:30 in the evening, the store became more and more crowded, and customers came in continuously, so that all the seats in the store were full, and queues had already begun at the door.

The benches provided by Shizang for customers waiting in line have been fully occupied, and later customers can only stand in line outside the store.Meng Yixuan was assigned a new job, distributing plastic fans and wet wipes with the logo of Shizang to the guests waiting outside.Every time you post a guest, you have to say: "Thank you for coming to Shicang, please wait a moment, there will be a seat soon." Xiyang is scorching hot, and autumn tigers are rampant, and the guests can enjoy the cool air with round fans.

"There is a sign of "Civilized Dining Convention" at the entrance of Shizang. One of the signs is the most crowded time in the store. Customers who have finished their meals should try not to stay in their seats for a long time and give way to waiting customers. Most people will consciously abide by it. Such a convention, of course, will have unconscious customers, so the waiter needs to tactfully 'dissuade' them." Meng Yixuan returned to the store to report to Huo Yan after distributing the fan and wet tissues, and Huo Yan said to her said such a sentence.

"Do you often have such guests?" Meng Yixuan asked.

"It's not often. Shizang hasn't met such a guest for three months. The guest who dared to make trouble like this three months ago was scared by R and left with his tail between his legs." Huo Yan laughed.

"Ah?!" Meng Yixuan was startled.

"That guy was too drunk, not only refused to give up his seat, but also harassed our waiter. I also dealt with it at the time, but I couldn't settle it. In the end, R settled it simply and rudely. For that kind of person, we can't say anything. Makes sense." Huo Yan said.

"What the hell did R do?" Meng Yixuan asked in a cold sweat.

"It happened to be r's turn to be on the platform at the bar area that day. I still remember the seat that guy was sitting on. It was directly opposite the bar area. From the time the guy started making trouble, he went to the waiter to persuade him to leave, and then I came forward Mediation, a total of 15 minutes passed, and she later said that she endured 15 minutes very hard, and finally she couldn't bear it anymore. Guess what she did?"

"What?" Meng Yixuan was extremely curious.

Huo Yan, who has always been prudent, became excited rarely, and said in a low voice: "That guy kept shouting: 'I won't go, bring me beer.' So r picked up a bottle of beer and shouted: 'Hey! You If you want beer, I'll open it for you right now!' Then she stood in the bar area, and a knife directly cut off the mouth of the beer bottle, and the mouth of the bottle flew over and hit the guy on the forehead On the spot, he was so scared that he fell off the chair and fell to the ground on the spot, and that scene really made the shit out of him."

Meng Yixuan was dumbfounded.

"Later, R grabbed that guy, paid for the meal, and threw that guy out. It was so satisfying. I was so excited that night that I didn't fall asleep all night. Until now, that scene is often played back in my mind." Huo Yan mentioned it now, Still very excited.

"No... didn't you invite revenge or something?" Meng Yixuan swallowed, and asked tremblingly.

"Where is the revenge? Who is it? I can't afford it." Huo Yan said mysteriously.

Senior sister... you can't really be a fool...

Everyone was busy at the moment, but the two of them were whispering.Huo Yan realized that it really shouldn't be, and hurriedly said seriously:

"Don't chat during working hours, come and help!"

"...Yes." Foreman Huo, you said it the happiest, and Meng Yixuan complained in her heart.

At this time, a tall girl in Shizang's apricot yellow waiter uniform came hurriedly from the backcourt to the two.She looked unfamiliar, and Meng Yixuan was sure that she had not seen her during the day.This girl has neat short black hair, wheat-colored skin, beautiful eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a cool temperament, and a very good figure. She even looks handsome in the waiter uniform.

She walked up, glanced at Meng Yixuan, then quickly fixed on Huo Yan's face, and said:

"Sorry Sister Huo, I'm late, today's training has been extended." Her voice was clear and girly.

"fine."

"Then I'll go to work."

"Amin, wait a minute. Let me introduce our new colleague. This is Meng Yixuan, who just came to report today. Xiaomeng, this is Jiang Yueming, one of the three part-time waiters in our front office."

"Hi, please give me some advice." Meng Yixuan said proactively.

"おっ, よろしく." Jiang Yueming replied concisely in Japanese, and then said, "Then I'll go to work."

Huo Yan nodded, and Jiang Yueming quickly got into the mood, and walked to the door to greet the guests.

Huo Yan looked at her back, and continued to introduce Meng Yixuan: "Jiang Yueming's official occupation is a hip-hop dancer, and now he has a small dance troupe that has just developed. The income is not high for the time being, and life is a bit tight, so come to us Here she works as a subsidy. Like you, she never went to college. However, she can speak Japanese fluently. She entered a boarding foreign language training school from the first day of junior high school, and studied Japanese for six years. After graduation, she went to Japan wandered for three years and only returned to China last year."

"Wandering...wandering?" Meng Yixuan was stunned again.

"That's right, wandering. She originally went to Japan to study at university, but because of her dancing dream, she dropped out of school and fell out with her family. For a long time, her family did not provide her with any financial support. Her study visa There is also a problem. I dare not go to work to make money, and I am almost illegally stranded in Japan. The life I live is no different from that of a homeless Japanese. I am penniless. I sleep in the subway station with a newspaper every day, and I go out with my bag during the day. Hit the wall, relying on convenience stores to sell leftover bento and rice balls to survive. Dancing and performing on the street alone, earning a little money so that I can go to the bathhouse to clean myself. If I have a little money, I spend the night in Internet cafes. Oh, Internet cafes in Japan and China It was not quite the same, there were small compartments separated by wooden boards one by one. She gritted her teeth and persisted for a long time. Later, she finally solved the visa issue and joined a famous dance troupe in Japan, but Within a few months, something happened at home, and I finally returned to China.”

"She is really... a very powerful person..." Meng Yixuan was shocked again, there really are no ordinary people in the food store.

"Yeah, I have experienced a lot at such a young age..." Huo Yan seemed to hesitate to speak.

Meng Yixuan's eyes lingered on Jiang Yueming for a long time, watching her pick up the guests skillfully, her coolness just now could be retracted freely, and she immediately became polite and decent in front of the guests, giving people a very comfortable and natural feeling, and she felt admiration spontaneously born.Jiang Yueming made a deep impression on her. In contrast, the impression of the college student named Sun Ying whom she met in the morning was suddenly weakened a lot.Meng Yixuan calculated, Jiang Yueming is at most 23 years old this year, but her life experience is richer than many people who are older than her.

Huo Yan said that something happened to her family and she was forced to return to China.This is probably a difficult thing to say, Meng Yixuan tactfully did not ask.However, Huo Yan would give her such a detailed introduction to a person, which means that this person is also a special existence in the food storage.Now that she knew Jiang Yueming's background, she had to pay attention in the future. During the process of getting along with Jiang Yueming, some topics needed to be cautious, so as not to offend others.

The topic of the family, the topic of the homeless, um, remember, Meng Yixuan secretly said in her heart.

dream?It turns out that there are really people in this world who can fight for their dreams to such an extent. She originally thought that the dreamers promoted by the media are very far away from her. Now it is the first time that such a person appears around her, a very strange feeling It was brewing and fermenting in the bottom of her heart.

At the end of the day today, she could see clearly.Almost none of the employees in the food store are confused. Everyone seems to be very clear about their future goals, and they are constantly striving for it.Everyone looked energetic and motivated.And what about myself?She asked herself: Meng Yixuan, what is your dream?

Her eyes drifted unconsciously to Han Weiji again, Han Weiji was too busy to raise his head at the moment, the kitchen knife in his hand was flying, his hands were flying fast, the knife skill was frighteningly strong, and the fish meat that was so thin and transparent was used by her An almost artistic approach is placed on top of the ice cubes.It was the first time for her to see her senior work with her own eyes, and when she thought of Jiang Yueming, a doubt that had been hidden in her heart swelled to the limit at this moment.

Senior sister, why did you open this food store?Is opening a restaurant your dream?Senior sister went to Japan, didn't she go to university?With her grades and family conditions, it is not a problem to enter a famous Japanese school.In the future, it is almost a matter of course to pursue a more high-end career. What happened in those ten years made my senior sister enter the very hard industry of cooking, and finally returned to China to open this restaurant alone.

The guest who booked the box came, Huo Yan went to the second floor to receive the guest, and didn't have time to take care of her.She herself was also given the task of helping the rest of the waiters to collect the tables.The twin sisters Dong Suizhi, Dong Yousi, Zhang Beibei, Jiang Yueming, a total of four waiters are already overwhelmed.Liu Lu is also going up to the second floor to receive the guests who have reserved boxes, and only the four of them are busy on the first floor.Meng Yixuan finally realized deeply that the waiters in Shicang are really short of staff.

She knew that she was probably not likable now, but in order to get the job done, she gritted her teeth and didn't think about it so much.Jiang Yueming only came at night, so it's another matter if she doesn't know her condition.After all, she, the Dong family sisters and Zhang Beibei experienced the embarrassing scene at noon, and they felt a little awkward at the moment.Fortunately, when she came to help, the three girls didn't say anything to her, instead they cooperated with her, which made Meng Yixuan feel better.

"Try to sort the dishes according to their shapes, and don't just stuff them into the wreckage cart just for the sake of quickness. With just a little effort, you can reduce the workload of the dishwashers and improve efficiency." Her sister Dong Suizhi taught her.

"When the tablecloths are finished, they should be sent to the laundry room at the back in time. There will be workers cleaning and disinfecting them. This wet towel is for guests to wipe their hands, not disposable. They must be recycled and cleaned and disinfected." Dong Yousi taught her.

"Garbage needs to be sorted. Look, there are two trash cans on the dining cart. Unpacked wet wipes, packaging bags, toothpicks, napkins brought by guests, etc. are thrown into this bucket, and the leftover food is thrown away. into the swill bucket." Zhang Beibei also taught her.This girl with always empty eyes gives people a very reliable feeling when she is working.

Meng Yixuan pursed her lips, said nothing, and became more and more serious about the work in hand.

When people are busy, time flies by.At nearly nine o'clock in the evening, there were obviously fewer guests. The guests in the upstairs box left, and Huo Yan and Liu Lu also came down from the upstairs.

"I'm sorry Xiaomeng, the guests who booked the box today have important business to discuss, it's not convenient to ask you to go up, next time." Huo Yan walked to Meng Yixuan and said, she had previously proposed to take Meng Yixuan upstairs to see how Zhongju works As a result, the guests who came tonight didn't want to be disturbed and wanted a clean environment, so they couldn't find a chance.

"It's okay, there will be opportunities in the future." Meng Yixuan said quickly.

Liu Lu passed by Meng Yixuan without even looking at her.Meng Yixuan pursed her lips, but turned around and said to her:

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Liu Lu looked back at her with surprise in her eyes, nodded hesitantly, then turned and walked away.

Han Weiji in the bar area happened to lift his head and lean forward to hand the plate to the customer at this moment, clearly taking this scene into his eyes.The corner of her mouth curled up, and there seemed to be a flash of pride in "as I expected" in her eyes.

"Xiao Meng, come with me." Huo Yan patted Meng Yixuan on the shoulder, and led her to the aisle near the kitchen.

"Let me ask you, do you want Liu Lu to be your master?" Huo Yan asked her.

Meng Yixuan froze for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said:

"Boss Huo, now it's not a question of whether I want to or not, it's a question of whether others want to or not."

"I'll just ask you what's on your mind." Huo Yan emphasized.

Meng Yixuan paused before answering: "I know that Liu Lu is the most experienced waiter, even qualified for Zhongju's job. If you want to choose a master, she is naturally the most suitable. Of course I hope she can be my master , to be honest, I don't dislike her character, people who go straight to the point are actually good-hearted, and I would like to deal with such a person."

"Well, from tomorrow on, your task is to follow Liu Lu, do whatever she does, and learn with your heart. I will go and tell her about her problems, I can't do it, and Mr. An and R. You have to do it yourself Work hard, mediate the problems between you by yourself, which is your first challenge after joining the company. In addition, starting tomorrow, I, Mr. An and R will start to give you classes in turn. Japanese class, etiquette class and folklore class, You'd better bring your notebook and pen. The class time is a free break after lunch, from 03:30 to [-]:[-], okay."

"Yes!" Meng Yixuan nodded hastily.

"Let me tell you, class is not a child's play. Our courses are very professional. Mr. An and I both returned to China after completing a master's degree in education at a Japanese university. We compiled the textbooks for food and storage. This is free. The induction training will continue until you become a qualified Zhongju. Language, etiquette, customs and culture, etc., involve all aspects, and you don’t want to learn it without spending tens of thousands of dollars on tuition. Don’t take it as a return It has failed Shizang's painstaking efforts in cultivating talents." Huo Yan suddenly said very seriously.

Meng Yixuan was startled, Mr. An and Foreman Huo, who are highly educated talents, actually eat food and hide as employees, which is simply unbelievable.

"R also wants to teach me in person?" Meng Yixuan was flattered.

"Yes," Huo Yan smiled, and said: "At any rate, R is also an excellent student majoring in history in the Faculty of Letters of Keio University. She can teach you Japanese customs and culture, so it's not a problem."

Department of History, Faculty of Letters, Keio University!
