Food is the most important thing for the people, and many Chinese people are foodies. Therefore, the domestic catering industry is particularly developed and unrivaled in the world. Any restaurant with some characteristics, no matter whether it is a big hotel or a fly restaurant, can always be filled with customers.
In recent years, the most distinctive hot pot in mountain cities has become popular all over the country. Many hot pot restaurants with Sichuan characteristics have also opened in the capital, and business is booming.
Although Sichuan and Sichuan are heavy on oil and spicy, which is very different from the beef and mutton hotpot that northerners often eat, the capital brings together people from all over the country, plus tens of millions of tourists every year, so there are indispensable customers to support it.
Moreover, spicy hot pot is poisonous. Once you like it, you will be poisoned and want to eat it every now and then.
Shuwei hotpot chain has caught up with the good times. In just half a year after entering Beijing, it has already opened three branches. The customers are so crowded that there is basically no time to spare. Especially since the beginning of winter, if customers arrive late, there will be no seats.
, you can only wait in line in the lounge outside.
Today is the New Year. In the past few days, the temperature in the Gyeonggi area has dropped sharply. There have been several heavy snowfalls. The weather is freezing and water has turned into ice. At this time of the year, I gathered my friends to sit around in front of a hot hot pot and eat spicy fresh food.
The fragrant hot pot is so delicious that even a god wouldn’t change it!
Although it was already past eight o'clock in the evening, the Shuwei hotpot chain on Changxi Road was still doing brisk business. The hall was packed, and there were even people queuing up in the rest room to take orders. They were planning to have dinner and late-night snacks together.
In the hall filled with the strong smell of hot pot, Meng Hu held a hot water kettle in one hand and a tray filled with dishes in the other. He quickly and flexibly passed between the tables and delivered the items to the tables of waiting customers.
After delivering the orders to the table, he could finally sit down in the staff room to take a breather and fill his already hungry stomach.
The normal employee meal is eaten around four o'clock in the afternoon, but Meng Hu is very capable and eats well, so extra meals are a must.
Although the snack in the evening is very simple, just a big bowl of rice and offal meat mixed with soup, Meng Hu is already very satisfied, because working in a hot pot restaurant is free of charge, so he can basically earn as much as he wants.
Save it.
It has been almost two weeks since Meng Hu and several classmates came to Beijing. They were very lucky. Since a large number of migrant workers left Beijing to go home during the Chinese New Year, various service industries were in urgent need of temporary workers, so they found jobs quickly.
Among the five students from Hengyang Martial Arts School, including Meng Hu, some worked as waiters, some delivered express delivery, and some delivered food. Even though they were temporary workers, their wages were not low.
Especially for food delivery, the more you deliver, the more you earn on a per-order basis, and your salary doubles during the Chinese New Year, which is very tempting. However, Meng Hu considered that he was completely unfamiliar with the capital and had a poor sense of direction, so he still chose to be a waiter.
This job is not bad. Not only does it include food and accommodation, he can earn at least two hundred yuan a day based on double the hourly wage. After living in the capital for a month, he can still save five or six thousand to send home. He is already very satisfied.
Already.
"tiger…"
As soon as Meng Hu took the last bite of the broth mixed with rice into his mouth, the door to the staff room was pushed open, and Li Dongyang jumped in with a sly smile on his face: "I knew you were hiding here and eating alone!"
Meng Hu couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "What?"
Li Dongyang also works at Shuwei Hot Pot Restaurant. According to him, brothers must be together so that they can take care of each other.
However, he chose to help in the kitchen because he wanted to learn some skills secretly and maybe open a hotpot restaurant himself in the future.
In terms of flexibility of mind, Meng Hu is definitely not as good as Li Dongyang.
Li Dongyang presented his mobile phone as if it were a treasure: "I'll show you something good!"
Meng Hu's eyelids suddenly twitched, he instinctively looked around, and then lowered his voice and said: "You are crazy, watch this during working hours, you are not afraid of being caught and fired!"
Shuwei chain hotpot restaurants offer good pay, but the rules are quite strict, and temporary workers are no exception.
Li Dongyang smiled and said: "Where are you thinking? Do you think I will show you a short movie? If you want to watch it, I can help you download it when you go back to the dormitory that night..."
Seeing that Meng Hu's eyes almost popped out of his sockets, he chuckled and said, "You're not kidding, you'll know it when you see it."
Meng Hu didn't trust Li Dongyang's character, but he still took the phone hesitantly.
It turns out that this time he really wronged his good friend. What Li Dongyang showed him was not some indescribable **** but a video from the latest blog of Chenfei Media’s official v!
Meng Hu gave up going home to celebrate the New Year and came to the capital. The main purpose was not to work and make money, but to participate in the talent show "Eight Directions in the Capital" to be held after the new year, so he was very sensitive to this news.
He and Li Dongyang both registered accounts on Inspur Blog, followed the blogs of Lu Chen, Chenfei Media and even CCTV, and collected several related forums in order to obtain first-hand information.
In recent times, Chenfei Media's official V has frequently released news regarding the casting of the "The Swordsman" movie to maintain attention, but there is not much substantial and useful content.
But the video released tonight is definitely real. It is the program testing process of the audition, and Lu Chen even participated in it in person!
It’s completely official. This is really useful!
Meng Hu's attention was immediately attracted. He stared at the screen without blinking, for fear of missing the details of every frame.
Although he was qualified to participate in the official auditions, Meng Hu still had a dark eye for this program, knowing that he had to "pass seven levels", but it was completely unclear what the "seven levels" were.
Now that the official video has been released, if you don't take the opportunity to study it carefully, you are giving up the opportunity.
After watching the 17-minute video, Meng Hu fell into deep thought.
Li Dongyang was a little uneasy and asked: "Tiger, how do you feel? Can we do it?"
"Of course it works!"
Meng Hu clenched his fist fiercely and said: "I can definitely pass these four levels!"
"but…"
He whispered again: "I'm afraid I can't be as fast as Lu Chen..."
The nineteen-year-old boy was a little dejected because in the video, Lu Chen's skills and reflexes were so amazing. He was not an outsider and he understood the meaning deeply.
Li Dongyang smiled "ha", patted his shoulder and said, "Who asked you to compete with Lu Chen? Is he comparable to us? We just need to be faster and better than other players."
Meng Hu nodded.
But in this young man's heart, he regarded Lu Chen as his target.
He wants to be as fast and as strong as Lu Chen! ——
