[Comprehensive Wear] A good brother's life

Chapter 170 Years

Mulan Hotel is the only state-owned hotel in Mulan City.It is said to be a big hotel, but it is actually not that big.The Magnolia Hotel has only three floors.The first and second floors are where you eat.The first floor is the hall, with five large tables and four small tables.

The five large tables are square high tables that can seat eight people, and the four small tables are miniature versions of the large table, which can only accommodate half of the people of the large table.

There are five private rooms on the second floor, each with a large round table and ten chairs.

The third floor, which is the top floor, is not a place to eat, but an accommodation area, with a total of six rooms.These six rooms are equivalent to the standard rooms of later generations, and each room has two beds.

Mulan Hotel is mainly a restaurant for eating, not a hotel for accommodation.The reason why the third floor is the accommodation area is because some leaders come to Mulan on business and don't want to stay in the guest house, so they live directly in the Mulan Hotel.

There is a guest house in Mulan City, which is dedicated to entertaining people or tourists who come to Mulan City on business trips.The guest house is not a hotel, so the facilities are not very good, it can only be said to be so-so.

The rooms on the third floor of Mulan Hotel are more spacious and bright than those in the guest house.The bed is also bigger and softer than the hostel.The most important thing is that the room facilities of Mulan Hotel are more complete and advanced than that of guest houses.For a leader with a relatively high official position, staying in a guest house is a loss of status, while staying in the Mulan Hotel is very face-saving.

In this day and age, ordinary people in Pingming are reluctant to come to Mulan Restaurant for dinner.The Mulan Hotel is also the largest hotel in Mulan City, so the price is naturally more expensive than the guest house.A meal costs a few dollars at the cheapest.If you order a few good dishes, then a meal will cost more than ten yuan, or even twenty yuan.This price is a month's wages for a worker in a factory in Mulan City. Ordinary people can't bear to pay a month's wages to come to Mulan Restaurant for a good meal.

Ordinary people are reluctant to come to Mulan Restaurant for dinner, but leaders are willing.It's not that the leaders are rich, but that the leaders are subsidized, and their meals at the Mulan Hotel are not as expensive as ordinary people's meals at the Mulan Hotel.Let's put it this way, the price of a meal for ordinary people at Mulan Restaurant is 12 yuan, and the price for leaders to eat is [-] yuan.

Why is it cheaper for leaders to eat at Mulan Restaurant than ordinary people?

Because leaders are subsidized.This subsidy is not cash, but tickets.

In this day and age, meat tickets are needed to buy meat, cloth tickets are needed to buy cloth, and food tickets are needed to buy grain... There are also "meal tickets" for meals at Mulan Restaurant.

This meal ticket is not a ticket for a meal, but a ticket for a meal at Mulan Restaurant.

The big leaders or small leaders of Mulan City government units will give out meal tickets for the Mulan Hotel every month.There will be more meal tickets subsidized to the big leaders. They have ten meal tickets for the Mulan Hotel a month.Small leaders talk less than big leaders, and there are only six meal tickets for the Mulan Hotel a month.

The amount of meal tickets subsidized to big leaders is also larger than that of small leaders.The amount of the meal ticket is one yuan, two yuan, five yuan, ten yuan.

When you come to Mulan Hotel for dinner, you can use the meal ticket to pay for the meal.If there is a lot of money for a meal and the meal ticket is not enough to pay, the rest will be paid in cash.

Mulan Hotel is the only big hotel in Mulan City, so the business is naturally good.Many people come to eat every day.

Business in the first half of the year was not as good as in the second half of the year.In the second half of the year, there are at least five tables of guests per day.

In Lin Huaiyu's view, Mulan Hotel's business can only be described as so-so, especially compared with later generations.However, in this era, the Mulan Hotel's business is good.

Because the business is not very good, there are not many waiters in the Mulan Hotel.Now including Lin Huaiyu, there are only six waiters.Four waiters and two waitresses.

Among the four male waiters, Lin Huaiyu and Feng Jie are young people.The other two waiters, one is a middle-aged man in his 40s and the other is a man in his 30s.

Two waitresses, one is a woman in her 30s who has given birth to two children.One is a young woman who has just turned 20 years old, but she is not beautiful. It can be said that she is very ordinary and cannot be found in the crowd.

In the kitchen, there is a chef and two helpers.The two helpers are the chef's apprentices.

There are also two cleaners who are responsible for washing dishes, washing dishes, mopping the floor, and washing sheets.They are not in charge of cleaning the rooms on the third floor, that is the job of the two maids.However, the sheets in the room on the third floor were washed by them.

In addition to the two cleaners, there is also an uncle who looks after the warehouse.In addition to keeping an eye on the things in the warehouse, his job is also responsible for docking the goods with the village chief of Shuiqiao Village.

Lin Huaiyu's dormitory is next to the warehouse, and there are four dormitories in total.However, before Lin Huaiyu came, no one lived in the dormitory.Except for the dormitory where Lin Huaiyu lives now, the other three dormitories are used to store various sundries.

The four dormitories are connected with the warehouse, which is a row of bungalows behind the Mulan Hotel.

There is a yard behind the Mulan Hotel. On the left are warehouses and dormitories, and on the right are toilets, to be precise, staff toilets.

The employee toilet is not a common pit in the countryside, but a squat toilet.The toilets in the accommodation area on the third floor are flush toilets. In terms of toilets, Mulan Hotel is still very "advanced".This is better than a guest house.Some leaders like to live in the Mulan Hotel. One reason is that the Mulan Hotel has flush toilets.

Lin Huaiyu followed Feng Jie up and down the Mulan Hotel, walked around inside and out, and was very satisfied with the environment of the Mulan Hotel.Of course, the toilets and warehouses satisfy him the most.

In the warehouse, there is a cellar five meters deep.Feng Jie told him that this cellar is used to store vegetables.This is a good place for Lin Huaiyu, a good place to practice piano.

After Lin Huaiyu and Feng Jie became familiar with the Mulan Hotel, Manager Li came to work belatedly.

Lin Huaiyu and his waiters go to work at nine o'clock in the morning, and manager Li goes to work at ten o'clock.

When Manager Li saw Lin Huaiyu coming, he called him to the office.

Lin Huaiyu gave the tortoise and some eels caught yesterday to Manager Li.As he expected, Manager Li was very satisfied with his gift.

"I received a notice that next Monday there will be leaders from the province to inspect Mulan City, and they will stay at our hotel for food and lodging at that time." This is why Manager Li "decisively" recruited Lin Huaiyu to work in Mulan Hotel, "This time There are quite a few leaders here, and I can’t entertain them alone, so you have to entertain me well, you know?”

"Manager, don't worry, I will definitely treat the leader well, and I will never let the leader be dissatisfied with our hotel." Lin Huaiyu said this very confidently.

Manager Li is very satisfied with Lin Huaiyu's confident attitude: "I believe you can entertain well."

"Manager, how many leaders will come next Monday?" Lin Huaiyu asked curiously, "Are they all big leaders from the province?"

"Seven or eight leaders." Manager Li flicked the cigarette ash, "Two big leaders, five or six small leaders."

Lin Huaiyu didn't ask who the big leader was, "Manager, how many days will the leaders stay in Mulan?"

"It looks like three to five days. As long as they stay in our hotel for one day, we have to take good care of them." Manager Li pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, and his expression became serious. "The order given to me is Eat and drink to serve these leaders."

"I see, manager."

"Our hotel often has leaders from other places come to eat and live. In the future, you must often entertain the leaders." Manager Li explained, "When entertaining the leaders, you can't shrink back, and you can't keep silent..."

Next, Manager Li carefully told Lin Huaiyu how to serve, no, how to entertain the leader.

Lin Huaiyu listened very seriously, nodding in response from time to time.Manager Li is very satisfied with his attitude.

"If you treat the leader well, your benefits will be indispensable." Manager Li said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Maybe you can make the leader remember you."

"Manager, I just want to entertain the leaders well, so as not to embarrass you and our hotel. As for other things, I don't dare to think about it."

"It's enough to have this heart." Manager Li explained a few more words before letting Lin Huaiyu go out.

"What did the manager tell you?" Feng Jie asked curiously.

"The manager told me to do things well, and also told me to have a good relationship with you seniors." It was not Lin Huaiyu's turn to tell Feng Jie and the others about the leaders coming to Mulan Restaurant for dinner next Monday.It is estimated that Manager Li will tell everyone in person later. "Seniors, please take care of me."

Feng Jie put his arms around Lin Huaiyu's shoulders, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, we will take good care of you."

Shen Mei smiled at Lin Huaiyu: "Xiao Lin, you are the youngest among us, our little brother, we will definitely take good care of you."

Yang Qin blushed slightly, and said with some embarrassment: "If you need any help, you can come to me."

Wang Benqiang smiled kindly at Lin Huaiyu: "I am the oldest of our waiters. I can be your father. If you have anything to do in the future, just come to me." Wang Benqiang is in his 40s this year and has worked in the Mulan Hotel for more than ten years In [-], it can be said that he is a veteran employee of the Mulan Hotel.

Wu Zhenfeng said: "Brother Qiang is the veteran of our restaurant, you can look for him."

Hearing Wu Zhenfeng's words, Lin Huaiyu knew that he was a person who was unwilling to help others.

"If you need my help, you can also find me."

At this time, Manager Li came out and called everyone to have a small meeting.

In front of everyone, Manager Li welcomed Lin Huaiyu to join, and told others to get along with him well.If there is anything he doesn't know, teach him quickly.Then, he told Lin Huaiyu that Feng Jie and the others had been working at the Mulan Hotel for several years, and he could ask Feng Jie and them if there was anything he didn't understand.

After talking about Lin Huaiyu, Manager Li told the story that a provincial leader will come to Mulan Hotel for dinner and lodging next Monday.He asked the waiters to behave well and not to embarrass Mulan Hotel.He also asked Chef Cao and the others to cook well to make the leaders happy.In the end, he said that the leaders who came this time had great leaders, and if they did not entertain well, they would all be unable to eat and walk away.

When Feng Jie and the others heard this, they couldn't help being afraid and nervous.It's not that they haven't entertained leaders before, and it's not that they haven't entertained big leaders, but every time they come to the leader, they will be afraid and worried, for fear that something they don't do well will make the leader unhappy, and then they will be scolded and fined.

No matter how many times the leader came, Feng Jie and the others would still be terrified.

Manager Li returned to his office after speaking.

Lin Huaiyu and Feng Jie began to wipe the tables and chairs, and then waited for the guests to come.

After wiping the tables and chairs, Lin Huaiyu and the others were fine for the time being, standing in front of the counter, chatting and waiting for guests to come to eat.

Shen Mei is not only very curious, but also very good at chatting, so she keeps chatting with Lin Huaiyu.

Lin Huaiyu was not angry when Shen Mei asked who was in his family as soon as she opened her mouth.People in this era, even those in later generations, would like to ask each other about the situation at home when chatting.

Lin Huaiyu briefly talked about their family's situation, but did not mention Li Zhen's family background.

Feng Jie and the others were very surprised to learn that Lin Huaiyu was a high school student.They thought that Lin Huaiyu was born in a rural area and hadn't studied for a few years, at most elementary school, but they didn't expect him to be a high school student.

Among all the staff of Mulan Hotel, Lin Huaiyu is definitely the most educated.Manager Li, although he is a manager, he only has a junior high school education.The others all have primary school education.Feng Jie didn't go to junior high school, and he didn't pass the exam several times, so he didn't study again.

After Feng Jie and the others learned that Lin Huaiyu was a high school student, they finally understood why Manager Li recruited him.
