Fortunately, I have been living alone these years and can still cook some daily meals.
Although it is not yet winter, her hands have become red, thick and short. But she can no longer care about the cold. Time is limited and she still has a lot to do!
As soon as the pickles were prepared, the delivery person came.
Zhao Ling'er greeted them to pour spicy soup, white rice porridge, pumpkin porridge, tofu curd and other soups into wooden barrels, and put steamed buns, flower rolls, steamed buns and other pasta into baskets.
Then he went to the kitchen to take out the bowls, chopsticks and spoons, and placed them on the table one by one.
Zhao Ling'er looked at the hourglass at the front desk. It was after five o'clock.
Why hasn't anyone come down yet?
Zhao Ling'er felt uneasy.
Doesn't anyone want to get up early?
Or did someone sneak out just now?
Zhao Ling'er paced back and forth in the hall, wondering what the business would be like today.
Suffer!
She suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to make some bracelets in advance, otherwise if someone stepped in and took something to eat, she would not know whether they had paid for it.
what to do?
She hurried to the front desk, asked for a pen and some pieces of paper, cut each piece of paper into the size of a business card, and then wrote a number on the paper.
Every time you bring someone over, give them a piece of paper. That should be enough.
At this time, a guest came down from upstairs.
Zhao Ling'er hurriedly put down the pen in her hand and waited at the stairs.
When the guest came to the front, Zhao Ling'er smiled and said to the person: "Sir, would you like to have breakfast? Forty-five people per person, you can eat spicy soup buns and fried dough sticks as you like! They are all hot, you can try them!"
As the guest walked towards the front desk, Zhao Linger followed the introduction.
After Zhao Ling'er finished speaking, the man stopped and looked at the food placed in the hall.
"45 Wen for free?"
"Yes, yes, eat whatever you want!" Zhao Ling'er greeted with a smile.
The customer didn't answer, walked to the front desk, took out a banknote and said to the waiter: "Give me 45 cents in change."
Zhao Ling'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief and stood quietly beside the guest.
When he handed the money to Zhao Ling'er, she handed the guest a breakfast coupon she had just made, and said with a smile: "We have a buffet. You can make whatever you want to eat. You will have enough food and clothing."
"Hey, that's interesting!" The guest smiled and went to find something to eat.
Zhao Ling'er felt happy and victorious!
She stood in the corner of the hall and observed the movement upstairs and outside the door. She waited for a long time but there was no one there.
What's going on? Why is there no one again?
When will they come down?
Zhao Ling'er was impatient to wait, so she walked out of the inn door and stood on the street looking out.
The sky has turned a little pale.
But there was no one on the street.
She kept walking and stopping, looking in all directions and listening in all directions.
Thump thump thump.
Finally someone came down again!
Zhao Ling'er hurried over and repeated what she just said.
But this person didn't seem to hear her and walked straight to the front desk, checked out and left.
Okay. Zhao Ling'er comforted herself and said, "Not everyone wants to have breakfast. Is the price I ordered too expensive?"
Zhao Ling'er looked at the first guest eating here with confusion.
He was full and ready to leave.
Zhao Ling'er walked over and asked, "How does it taste? Are you satisfied with the food?"
The man burped and said, "Well, not bad, I was exhausted!"
"The price...what do you think?" Zhao Ling'er asked cautiously.
"Haha!" The man laughed and said, "As for the price, of course the cheaper the better!"
Zhao Ling'er's face turned red. What kind of question was she asking? It was in vain.
What should I do? Why is there no one there all the time?
Zhao Ling'er walked to the wooden barrel and opened the lid to feel the temperature of the soup. Fortunately, it was still hot.
Looks like I'm going to go to the Yamen gate to pull someone in soon!
Just do it!
Zhao Ling'er ran to the front desk and asked, "Can you find me a carriage?"
"Oh, no! Two cars! Three cars are fine too!" Zhao Ling'er added.
"Wait a moment." The receptionist said and went to the backyard.
Not long after, a coachman came out.
Zhao Ling'er pulled him into the hall, pointed to the breakfast and said, "Go to the Yamenmen and help me pull people. You don't need to charge them for transportation. I'll pay you 5 cents for every customer you bring to the restaurant to eat. How about that?"
?”
When the coachman heard this, he immediately beamed with joy.
The Yamen Gate is very close to here. It takes less than five minutes to drive there. I have never been so close before!
"Okay, okay!" the coachman said with a smile.
"You can help me find if there are any other carriage drivers. Let them go to other intersections or wherever they are and just pull people for me. Five cents per person, the more the better! Before nine o'clock!"
"Okay, okay, no problem! I'll go right away!" the coachman replied as he hurriedly hitched the carriage.
Zhao Ling'er turned around and saw a guest coming down from upstairs.
"Sir, do you want breakfast? You see there are so many kinds, you can eat whatever you want, it's only 45 cents!"
The guest walked to the hall, looked through the contents in the buckets and baskets one by one, and asked, "Where can I pay?"
Zhao Ling'er hurriedly said: "Oh, just give it to me."
The man took out a 50-wen note and handed it to Zhao Ling'er. Zhao Ling'er took it and said, "I'll change it! You eat first!"
After that, he went to the front desk to change the change and gave the remaining 5 cents to the customer.
Finally there was someone again.
Zhao Ling'er's mood suddenly improved.
"It's almost 7 o'clock, it's almost time to get up!" Zhao Ling'er thought to herself: "It seems that the ancients didn't get up at sunrise and go back at sunset!"
At this time, another guest came to check out.
Zhao Ling'er hurried over to sell her buffet.
The man took a look and came over to eat.
Zhao Ling'er's mood is getting better and better, and it seems that they are still able to accept this form.
As time slowly passed, more and more people came down to check out. Zhao Ling'er seized the opportunity to promote her breakfast.
"This guest, I will give you a breakfast coupon!" Zhao Ling'er found the money only to realize that she had forgotten to give him a breakfast coupon.
"Mrs. Boss, please say hello!" The coachman who went out just now came back and brought four people with him!
Zhao Ling'er hurried over to greet him.
After settling the customers, she gave the coachman 20 coins. After taking it, the coachman went out without looking back and continued to solicit customers.
All of this needs to be written down so that we can settle the accounts later.
Zhao Ling'er wrote down on a piece of white paper: Coachman, and drew the first four strokes of the character "正".
This hall can accommodate a total of seventy or eighty people. Now basically one person has a table to himself, and there should be about a dozen people.
Zhao Ling'er looked back and saw someone else was coming.
She hurried over to greet him.
I haven’t gone to the street to pick up people yet!
But she was really too busy.
Introduction, receiving money, making change, getting breakfast coupons, reception, clearing the table... these seemingly trivial tasks kept her busy without touching the ground.
