Chapter 59 Do You Want To Be The Shopkeeper?
夜晚
The two restaurants at Roushikou, Shiyiju and Fujude, were full of guests, and the Beicheng District Police Department set up wine bureaus in the two restaurants respectively.
Originally, the Beicheng District Police Department only planned to hold a banquet in Yiju, but due to the large number of people, Yiju couldn't accommodate them, so they opened a few more tables in Fujude.
Fortunately, these two restaurants sell roasted ducks, and the patrolmen who have been short of oil and water all year round can't tell the difference. Anyway, they are all oily duck meat, so just let go of your belly and eat it!
The shopkeepers, chefs and waiters of the two restaurants did not dare to neglect them. After all, they were all distinguished guests. If the people in the police station were not happy with their meal, the two restaurants would not be able to operate in the future.
They are especially careful about Livable, because the newly appointed Beicheng District Police Chief You Feng and Deputy Chief Lin Hongfei eat at Livable.
These two lords stomped their feet, and they could knock down a big man who was suitable for living, especially the deputy director, Lin Hongfei, who seemed to be in his twenties, but he had already ascended to a high position.
Anyone who is not a fool can realize that Director Lin has someone above him!
The livable second cabinet, Lu Mengshi, who is in charge of bookkeeping and financial work, kept running back and forth in the box and between the dining tables, for fear that something might go wrong, which would affect the dining mood of the two bureau chiefs.
Logically speaking, this kind of thing should be in charge of the suitable house shopkeeper nicknamed 'Huabi', but this old boy just hides and relaxes, smoking and drinking tea in the yard in the cool of the yard in the name of being the cook.
Huabizi and Ruiying, a livable host, are relatives. According to their seniority, Ruiying has to call Huabizi a cousin.
This person Huabizi has no ability, and only relying on a tell-tale mouth, blood relationship and the trust of his boss Ruiying, he became a livable shopkeeper.
His talent is far inferior to that of the second cabinet Lu Mengshi.
Therefore, Huabi is very jealous of Lu Mengshi, and is afraid that one day Ruiying will think about it, drive herself away, and then reuse Lu Mengshi.
Therefore, Huabi is provoking Lu Mengshi all the time, trying to force him out of habitability.
At this moment, accompanied by a loud and clear sound of walking ducks, the oily roast ducks are served one by one. This is a signature dish suitable for living.
Lu Mengshi bowed his waist and introduced duck eating methods and allusions to Lin Hongfei, You Feng and others with a smile on his face, and made a few jokes from time to time, which made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere of the banquet became more active.
After the duck was cut, Lu Mengshi didn't stay any longer, so as not to affect the guests' meal, he bowed to Lin Hongfei and others, and left with a smile.
Walking out of the box, Lu Mengshi leaned against the wall, his face was exhausted, and his throat was dry and hot.
"call!"
Lu Mengshi took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, and asked the clerk to bring a bowl of tea to quench his thirst.
But just as Lu Mengshi took a sip of tea, Huazui's strange voice came to his ears:
"Hey, I said Lu Mengshi, you are too outrageous, you don't go to serve so many distinguished guests in the box, and you are lazy here drinking tea."
"I said, do you still want to do it? If you don't want to do it, pack up and leave as soon as possible!"
"We are suitable for living and not for idlers!"
Lu Mengshi was furious when he heard it, but he was under the eaves, he could not wait or bow his head, who would call himself unlucky to meet a jerk boss.
Suppressing his anger, Lu Mengshi said neither humble nor overbearing: "Shopkeeper, from the moment the distinguished guests entered the box until now, I have been serving you all the time, let alone taking a rest, I didn't even drink cold water."
"Now that the duck is cut and served, all the distinguished guests are eating. According to the rules, I will follow right now so as not to disturb the guests."
"I took advantage of this spare time to drink some tea to moisten my throat. Is it wrong?"
When Huabi heard it, he immediately sneered: "Hehe, you are scolding me, right? You scolded me for not serving your guests together, right?"
Lu Mengshi was about to refute immediately, but Huabi didn't give Lu Mengshi a chance to speak:
"Let me tell you Lu Mengshi, I'm not idle tonight, I've been watching from the back kitchen all the time."
"You don't know how hot the back kitchen is on a hot day. I was almost boiled dry. I didn't dare to drink water, for fear of missing my meal."
What Hua Bi said is pure nonsense, his clothes don't have any sweat stains, he doesn't look like someone who has been to the back kitchen at all.
"Let me tell you Lu Mengshi, if you want to do it, do it well, if you don't want to do it, leave, don't make so many excuses all day long."
"Why, it shows that you have a sharp tongue, don't you!"
"Humph!"
Hua Bizu snorted coldly, turned his head and left, leaving only Lu Mengshi standing where he was, his face flushed with anger and his heart pounding.
"Flower nose..." Lu Mengshi gritted his teeth in hatred.
"I don't believe it anymore. With my ability, Lu Mengshi, I will be overwhelmed by you for the rest of my life."
"Sooner or later, I will have to do something in Qinxing and slap you hard in the face!"
Lu Mengshi clenched his fists tightly, and the muscles on his face trembled a little because of anger.
At this moment, a lazy voice came from behind Lu Mengshi:
"Second cabinet Lu, I'm really not worth it for you!"
"Who?"
Lu Mengshi turned around for a look, then exclaimed:
"Yo!"
"Director Lin, why is it you?"
"You didn't eat inside, why did you come out?"
Lin Hongfei smiled and looked at Lu Mengshi a few times. Lu Mengshi can be said to be a very good talent in the catering industry.
This person started as a clerk and worked step by step to become the second cabinet in charge of the hotel's finances. It can be said that he has rich experience.
At the same time, this person was also very prescient. He privately recorded the eating habits of the big and small dignitaries in Yanjing City, so that they could entertain these dignitaries in the future as a reference for cooking.
It can be said that even if Lu Mengshi is allowed to run a restaurant that is on the verge of bankruptcy, he can bring the restaurant back to life.
Talent is rare, and Lin Hongfei will not let a talent go easily.
Especially a talent who can make money!
Lin Hongfei pointed to the outside, and said a little mysteriously: "Second cabinet Lu, find a secluded place, I have something to tell you!"
Lu Mengshi was stunned. Although he didn't know what medicine Lin Hongfei bought in the gourd, he still led the way and said, "Sure, then follow me. There is a stall selling herbal tea near here. The taste is not bad, and it is refreshing and relieves heat."
Immediately, the two walked towards the outside of the hotel, one in front and the other in the back, and happened to bump into a flowery nose when they were leaving.
"Hey, I said Lu Mengshi, you really don't want to do it anymore, do you?"
"You don't serve the guests, what are you doing out at night, you want to be lazy!" Hua Bi shouted.
Lu Mengshi was so angry that he wanted to go back to Huazi, but Lin Hongfei said with a half-smile at this time: "Huabi, I asked Lu Ergui to wait for me to go out to breathe and sober up."
"Why, do you have to inform your old man and ask for your old man's consent?"
These words made Huabi tremble in fright, and he said in a panic, "Master Lin, I dare not take what you say, Master Lin."
"I'm just asking casually, nothing else."
"Then what, Meng Shi, take good care of Master Lin, don't be sloppy, understand!" Hua Bi shouted at Lu Mengshi again.
"Humph!"
Lu Mengshi ignored the flower nose and led Lin Hongfei out of the habitable place.
The two walked 30 meters away, and there was indeed a herbal tea stand, but there were no customers at the moment.
After Lin Hongfei and Lu Mengshi sat down, the boss quickly served two bowls of herbal tea for them to drink slowly.
After taking a few sips of herbal tea, Lu Mengshi felt his dry throat a lot more comfortable, just as he was about to ask Lin Hongfei why he asked him to come out.
However, Lin Hongfei was the first to ask a question that Lu Mengshi did not expect:
"Second cabinet Lu, do you want to be the shopkeeper?"
