Chapter 167 Years
It was not an important matter for Manager Li to find Lin Huaiyu, he just asked him if he could get more of the rice field eel that was more than ten years old.
After eating the rice field eel for more than ten years, Manager Li felt energetic.Before the village chief told him that rice field eel is a great tonic, Manager Li didn't quite believe it, but he didn't say anything at that time.After eating, he realized that his knowledge was shallow.
"Manager Li, if you want a rice field eel, we'll send it to you directly. You'd be too polite if you said to buy it." Looking at Manager Li's rosy face, it seems that the rice field eel is indeed a great tonic.
Hearing what Lin Huaiyu said, Manager Li felt very useful, but he still said politely: "I can't let you send it."
"Manager Li, you are too polite. The rice field eel is not a precious thing. To be honest, it is a bit shabby to give you the rice field eel." Lin Huaiyu said this politely and sincerely, which made Manager Li feel very comfortable. "However, Manager Li, There are not many eels like the four or five catties before, and I was lucky to catch such an eel that day."
"A rice field eel weighing four or five catties is indeed uncommon." Manager Li also knew this, "Do you have a lot of rice field eels weighing two or three catties in your village?"
"There are a lot of rice field eels weighing two or three catties. Before the village chief and others came to deliver fish to you, there were quite a few rice field eels weighing two or three catties." Lin Huaiyu said with a smile, "there are not many rice field eels and loaches in the village river. Eat, these rice field eels and loaches grow very fat. If you want a rice field eel weighing two or three catties, I will ask the village chief to keep it for you, and I will not send it to Mulan Restaurant."
Manager Li is also polite: "Then I will trouble you."
"What's the trouble? You're too polite." Lin Huaiyu suddenly thought of another great tonic, "Manager Li, do you eat bastard, which is also a great tonic, especially the ones that are more than 20 or [-] years old?"
When Manager Li heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, and he asked excitedly, "Do you have any in your village?"
"Yes, there are quite a few, and no one in the village eats it." According to Lin Jianghu, when there is heavy rain in summer, there will be a lot of turtles and bastards in the village's river or rice fields.
Manager Li asked in bewilderment: "The bastard is a good thing, why don't people in your village eat it?"
"People in the village want to eat it, but there is no condiment to cook it. You also know that cooking bastard consumes oil, and the villagers are reluctant to eat it." For rural people, things like fish and bastard are expensive things. , can not afford to burn.And these things don't put much seasoning, so they don't taste good when they are burned.
Manager Li nodded in understanding: "If you can catch turtles and bastards, sell them to me."
"Look at your polite words again. If you want, we'll bring it to you directly." Lin Huaiyu said so, but he didn't intend to send too many turtles and bastards to Manager Li. After all, the turtles and bastards were taken to the Chinese Medicine Center Sell it, you can sell it for a lot of money.
Manager Li waved his hand and said, "I can't take advantage of you. Turtles and bastards that are ten or twenty years old are not cheap things. If you can catch them, sell them to me. That's the deal."
"Manager Li, it's hard to catch tortoises and tortoises this season. When it's easy to catch in summer, I'll catch more for you." During this time, I didn't see tortoises or tortoises, and I didn't know where they were hiding.
Manager Li also knew that tortoises and tortoises were not easy to catch, "If you catch them, bring them and sell them to me."
Lin Huaiyu said very straightforwardly: "Okay, no problem."
"Oh, by the way, are you and your mother coming to Mulan City for business?"
"My mother has never been to Mulan City, so I'll take her to Mulan City to have a look." Of course, Lin Huaiyu would not tell Manager Li that they were here to sell Polygonum multiflorum.
The fact that their family sells Polygonum multiflorum is unknown to the villagers.If you tell Manager Li that Manager Li accidentally let the village chief know about it, that would be bad. "By the way, Manager Li, are you recruiting waiters at Mulan Hotel?" Lin Huaiyu also asked casually in order to change the subject.
But Manager Li took it seriously. He paused with his hand holding the teacup, and then asked, "Do you want to come to our restaurant as a waiter?" After speaking, he looked Lin Huaiyu up and down, "If you come to our restaurant as a waiter, It will definitely bring business to our restaurant." Among other things, Xiao Lin's appearance will definitely attract many female compatriots to eat in the restaurant.
Lin Huaiyu thought that Manager Li was joking with him, and said with a smile, "Who wouldn't want to come to Mulan Hotel to work."
Manager Li thought for a while, and then said with a smile on his face: "Then you come to work in our hotel."
"Ah?" Lin Huaiyu was startled by Manager Li's words, with a shocked expression on his face, "Are you serious?"
Seeing Lin Huaiyu's unbelievable expression, Manager Li couldn't help laughing: "Really, you come to work, and you will be provided with food and accommodation."
"You're not kidding me, are you?" He just said casually just now, because he knew in his heart that state-run restaurants like Mulan are not so easy to get into.Those who can work in the Mulan Hotel have more or less connections at home.
"Do you think I am teasing you?" Manager Li just thought about it. The restaurant has been doing well recently, but there are not enough waiters. It is indeed necessary to hire a waiter.The reason why he recruited Lin Huaiyu was, on the one hand, because Lin Huaiyu would come, and on the other hand, Lin Huaiyu was good-looking and a high school student.For example, in their restaurants, leaders often come to eat, and usually he personally entertains them, because other people do not treat them well, but sometimes he is not in the restaurant, and the waiters in the store do not treat them well, and even offended the leaders. Also endured batches.If Lin Huaiyu was recruited as a waiter in their restaurant, he would definitely be able to entertain the leaders well.
"Manager Li, do you really want to recruit me?" Lin Huaiyu had never thought about working in the Mulan Hotel, but seeing that Manager Li really wanted to recruit him now surprised him very much.
"Really, you are good-looking, and you are a high school student. It is just right for you to come to our restaurant as a waiter." The more Manager Li thought about it, the more he felt that it was a good idea to recruit Lin Huaiyu as a waiter. One yuan. During the holidays, the hotel will give out some things, and there will be bonuses at the end of the year, how about it, do you want to come to work in our hotel?"
"Yes, of course, thank you so much for giving me this opportunity. Don't worry, I will work hard and not let you down!" Lin Huaiyu just thought about it, and working at the Mulan Hotel is a good choice.He wasn't thinking about salary.To be honest, the salary of 22 yuan a month is too low for him. After all, he can earn two or three yuan a day by setting up a street stall in the black market in Lanxi County. In addition to selling Polygonum multiflorum, he can earn at least 60 yuan a month.
The reason why he wanted to work at the Mulan Hotel was partly because the Mulan Hotel was located in the city.When you work in Mulan City, you can receive all kinds of information immediately.In Shuiqiao Village, there is no electricity, no news broadcasts, no newspapers, and the information is too backward.On the other hand, because the people who come to Mulan Restaurant to eat are all leaders, big and small, it is very beneficial to have frequent contact with these leaders, big and small.
Manager Li walked up to Lin Huaiyu, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are smart and smart, I believe you can do well." He was still very confident in his vision of seeing people.This kid Xiao Lin will do well if he comes to the restaurant as a waiter.
Lin Huaiyu looked grateful: "Manager Li, thank you so much, I didn't expect..." Lin Huaiyu pretended to be too excited and didn't know what to say.
Manager Li was very satisfied with Lin Huaiyu's attitude, and said with a smile: "The main reason is that your child suits my eyes."
"That's why you think highly of me." Lin Huaiyu really didn't expect him to get a job with just a casual sentence, it really is... life is full of surprises.
"How about you go back and pack up and come to work the day after tomorrow?"
"No problem, just come to the restaurant with the village chief and the others the day after tomorrow." Lin Huaiyu thought to himself, he must catch a tortoise or a bastard when he goes back today.
"Then you come to work the day after tomorrow."
Lin Huaiyu said some words of gratitude again, and wanted to invite Manager Li to dinner.Manager Li knew his situation, so he politely declined his treat, saying that it would not be too late to invite him to dinner after he was paid.
Li Zhen was sitting in the lobby of the hotel, drinking tea and chatting with the waiter. After chatting for a long time, he didn't see his son come out, so he couldn't help feeling a little worried.Just when she was about to take a look, she saw her son walking out with a happy face.
After Lin Huaiyu greeted the waiters, she left Mulan Restaurant holding Li Zhen's hand.
Seeing his son's smiling face, Li Zhen couldn't help asking curiously, "What does Manager Li want from you?"
Lin Huaiyu made a fool of himself: "Mom, you guess."
"It's a good thing to see your smiling face." Li Zhen thought for a while and said, "Is Manager Li looking for you for a new cooperation? Is he going to collect rice from our village?" Apart from rice, Li Zhen couldn't think of their village. What else is there to sell.
Lin Huaiyu shook her head: "No, state-owned restaurants like Mulan provide their rice specially, and they don't need to harvest rice from other places."
"What good thing is that?" Li Zhen raised his hand and gently slapped the back of his son's hand, "Don't play tricks on me."
Lin Huaiyu said in a low voice, "Mom, Manager Li asked me to work at the Mulan Hotel."
"What did you say?" Li Zhen exclaimed, "Really?"
"Mom, please keep your voice down." Li Zhen screamed suddenly, causing passers-by to look at her. She smiled embarrassedly, and then asked in a low voice, "Xiaoyu, did Manager Li really ask you to stay at the Mulan Hotel?" work?"
"Really!" Lin Huaiyu told Li Zhen in detail what happened just now, "I just said it casually, but I didn't expect Manager Li to call me to work directly."
After Li Zhen listened, she had an incredulous expression on her face: "This..." For a while, she couldn't find any words to describe it.
"Mom, don't you think it's incredible?"
Li Zhen nodded: "It's unbelievable. If you didn't know Manager Li, it would seem that Manager Li was lying." After finishing speaking, she asked in amazement, "Why did Manager Li let you work in Mulan Hotel? Like Mulan Hotel The state-run restaurant is a sweet pastry, ordinary people can't get in, they can only get in through relationships, our family has no relatives or relationship with Manager Li, do you promise him any conditions?"
Lin Huaiyu said dumbfoundedly: "Mom, where are you thinking?" His mother wouldn't think that he agreed to some unequal treaty with Manager Li, "Manager Li just thinks that I'm good-looking, and I'm a high school student. To be a human being, that’s why I was recruited as a waiter.”
Hearing his son's explanation, Li Zhen felt that it was not incomprehensible for Manager Li to recruit his son as a waiter, but... "I hired you just because of this?" Jobs like state-run restaurants are also popular. How many people want to come to the state-run restaurant Hotel work.The Mulan Hotel lacks waiters, and Manager Li should think of his relatives and friends immediately. "There must be someone from Manager Li's family who wants to work in the Mulan Hotel, right?"
"The nephews of Manager Li's family either work in the factory or work in a supply and marketing cooperative. As for the children of his friends, Manager Li despises them for their low culture and lack of hospitality." Lin Huaiyu said, "You also know that the children of Mulan Hotel In such a state-run restaurant, the guests are mainly people from government agencies, and often leaders come to eat. It’s good that Manager Li is here, he can entertain these leaders by himself. If he is not in the hotel for something, no one in the restaurant can properly entertain the leaders.”
"Now the waiters at the Mulan Hotel are all recruited through connections. They are all young, not highly educated, and they are very sloppy in their work. When the leader comes, they can't recognize him and treat him like an ordinary person. You know Mulan too. The attitude of the waiters in the hotel is not very good, there were leaders who came to Mulan Hotel for dinner before, but the waiters didn’t recognize them, the hospitality was not very good, and Manager Li was even criticized.”
"The attitude of the waiters at the Mulan Hotel is not very good, and they look down upon others." When Li Zhen was waiting for Lin Huaiyu, the waiters at the Mulan Hotel treated her well, because they knew Lin Huaiyu and had a very good impression of her. .Someone walked into the Mulan Hotel before, and the waiter acted as if he hadn't seen it.Seeing that the waiter ignored them, the two left in a sly manner.
"That's why Manager Li recruited me."
"Manager Li has a good eye for choosing my son." Li Zhen said proudly.
