Tongdao Xu could tell that Xi Dongyang's body was currently very weak. He did not recuperate at home with such a weak body, but wanted to come to work at his place. It was probably because Xi Dongyang's family did not have enough money to live.
Comrade Xu can help with this.
Not only can he gain the gratitude of the two brothers, but also... his store is indeed short of manpower right now.
Xi Dongyang is physically weak, but he is still able to do some things.
but……
"Where is the person who stabbed you? How is he doing now?"
Before formally agreeing, Comrade Xu did not forget this issue.
He could help Xi Dongyang and give Xi Dongyang a job to earn money, but he didn't want Xi Dongyang's grievances and grievances with others to be brought to his shop, Tongdao Xu.
He was a desperate man who dared to stab a ruthless man in Dongyang with a knife in the street.
Xi Dongyang smiled and said, "That guy stabbed me just after he came out of prison. I also seriously injured him. When I was in the hospital, he was also in the hospital, but I was acting in self-defense. He was an attempted murder. Waiting for him,
He will definitely go back to prison, and he will probably not come out again in ten or eight years."
Comrade Xu smiled and said, "Okay! When can you come to work?"
Xi Dongyang: "I can do it anytime, just today!"
Xu Tongdao: "Then let's do it today!"
When he said this, Comrade Xu looked at him and then glanced at Rooster Ge Lianghua. He was thinking about how to arrange the work of these two people.
If the allocation is based on ability, then letting Xi Dongyang learn barbecue from him would definitely be the most efficient. After all, Xi Dongyang himself has been grilling for several years, and if he has the basics, if Comrade Xu is willing to teach him, it will probably take only one or two.
In just a few weeks, Xi Dongyang's barbecue skills will be greatly improved, and then he can leave all the skewers to Xi Dongyang.
but……
Comrade Xu did not want to arrange it this way.
In terms of closeness, Rooster Ge Lianghua was his cousin, and Ge Lianghua had promised before that he would learn barbecue skills from him and would continue to work for him for three years.
He also promised Ge Lianghua that he would teach him all his barbecue skills.
You can't be a person without keeping your word.
What's more, he is now opening a barbecue restaurant with the barbecue restaurant's signboard. Barbecue technology is his core skill here, so it would be safer to teach it to his cousin Ge Lianghua.
In contrast, Xi Dongyang did not reassure him so much.
Perhaps Xi Dongyang will also remember his kindness, but Comrade Xu is not very sure about Xi Dongyang's character.
The most important thing is that Xi Dongyang's family is in a bad financial situation. Maybe sometime in order to make more money, Xi Dongyang will set up his own stall and sell barbecue.
Due to the above considerations, Tongdao Xu transferred Ge Lianghua out of the kitchen and asked Ge Lianghua to learn barbecue from him every day.
When playing in Dongyang, he arranged to go into the kitchen to make cold dishes and serve mutton soup to the guests.
Ge Lianghua was very happy about this.
What he wanted most was to learn barbecue from Tongdao Xu.
Xi Dongyang didn't have any objections. For him, he was now desperate and came to Xu Tongdao to ask for a bite of food. He was already very grateful to Xu Tongdao for letting him work here.
It didn't matter to him what Comrade Xu arranged for him to do.
Moreover, the work of making cold dishes and serving mutton soup to guests every day is not heavy or tiring. The technical content of cold dishes is not high and it is easy to make.
Tongdao Xu would also cook a large bucket of mutton soup in advance every day and put it there. When a customer ordered mutton soup, he only needed to put some oil in the wok, saute a few slices of green onion, then scoop some of the cooked mutton soup and cut it into pieces.
Boil the haggis in a pot, add a little white pepper and minced coriander and it's ok.
These are all light things, and his current physical condition is fully capable of handling them.
…
Time flies and it’s late November in a blink of an eye.
As December is about to enter, a wave of cold air comes from the north, chilling the entire Shazhou County overnight.
The business of Xu Tongdao's barbecue restaurant suddenly dropped a lot, and its popularity dropped by more than half.
Not only his barbecue restaurant, but also the entire red light street is not as popular as before at night.
The business of every store has been greatly affected.
That night, Comrade Xu was sitting in front of the oven. He was not busy at all. He was grilling a few kebabs casually. He also had time to look back at the customers in the store, and also had time to look at the business of the stalls across the road and the street.
of pedestrians.
What is supposed to come will always come.
The sudden arrival of this cold air made him realize that the business direction of his store needed to change.
Otherwise, the money earned next month may not be enough to pay the rent and staff wages.
Fortunately, in the past month or so, he has almost finished his research on the Whole Sheep Feast...
Although the types he has studied are not many, they should be the most diverse in Shazhou County.
…
Because they were not busy, Xu Tongdao and others felt that the evening time seemed to pass very slowly.
Around ten o'clock, Ge Lianghua yawned several times.
After yawning again, Ge Lianghua looked back at the clock hanging on the wall behind the bar in the store and sighed, "Oh, the time passed too slowly tonight!"
Then he asked Comrade Xu, "By the way, Xiaodao, you see there are no people on the street tonight. Can we close early tonight? You see we don't have much business tonight, so there is no need for us to stay open until one or two in the morning."
Are you ready? What do you think?"
Comrade Xu hummed.
There was no business, and he wanted to go back and rest early.
Well, the main reason is that he misses Wu Yali a little bit.
Because he has been too busy recently, he has not seen her for some days. When he was free tonight, he really missed her a little.
Thinking of her amorous feelings in bed, he was a little ready to move.
Then, he suspected Ge Lianghua's purpose of wanting to get off work early tonight.
I even wondered if he was faking the few yawns he yawned tonight?
Because of suspicion, Comrade Xu turned to look at Ge Lianghua, "Cousin, do you miss Sister Qinghua?"
Ge Lianghua chuckled, took out cigarettes, handed him one, and whispered: "You guessed it, don't tell me!"
Xu Tongdao smiled.
But it is also understandable that Ge Lianghua, like him, is in the prime of life and there is nothing abnormal about thinking about women in his spare time.
"Huh? Look! Your cousin Liangcai has brought a woman!"
Ge Lianghua suddenly looked at the east side of the road, raised his chin and signaled to Comrade Xu.
Comrade Xu looked in the direction he indicated, and sure enough he saw his cousin Ge Liangcai coming here on a bicycle. There was also a young woman wearing a red down jacket sitting on the back seat of the bicycle.
Visual inspection seems to be Xu Tonglin's cousin.
Did these two really get together?
By the way, more than a month has passed since the last time Xu Tonglin's mother, Zhang Lizhi, said she wanted to introduce her niece to Ge Liangcai.
Tonight was the first time that Ge Liangcai brought this woman here, and it was also the first time that Comrade Xu saw them together.
In the past month or so, he hadn't heard anything more and thought the blind date between the two people had failed!
