Chapter 245 Waiter
Zhao Yang helped Guan Lei find a job as a hotel waiter.
Food and accommodation included, 30 yuan a month.
In this era, and in a small, poor and backward county, this salary is not too low.
Besides, as I said, just help carry the plates and wash the dishes, and you don’t have to do anything else.
Guan Lei has been favored since she was a child and has not done much housework at home. She actually looks down on this kind of job of serving dishes, but now, leaving this home is the right thing to do.
Go out and the road will become wider.
She agreed immediately and started packing her clothes that night.

Early the next morning, Guan Lei took the shuttle bus to the county and followed the route Zhao Yang told her to go to the Sichuan restaurant on North Street - Xiaowanyuan.
As far as Tong County is concerned, this Sichuan restaurant is relatively large in scale.
Guan Lei stood at the door with her luggage and looked around.
It was the morning, and there were not many guests in the restaurant. Through the semi-open kitchen, a few busy figures could be seen.
At this time, a plump woman about 40 years old, fashionably dressed, walked over with her hips swaying, looked Guan Lei up and down, and asked: "Who are you looking for?"
"My name is Guan Lei, and I come here to work."
The woman held her head and said, "Oh, I know, it was Brother Zhang who introduced me, right."
Guan Lei didn't know who introduced her, and Zhao Yang didn't say anything, so he could only nod.
"Okay, you put your luggage here first and follow me."
Guan Lei put down her luggage and followed the woman into a house.
There is no bed in the house, only a sofa, a coffee table, and a large wardrobe.
After Guan Lei sat down, the woman said: "My surname is Wang, you can just call me Sister Wang. Let me tell you the working hours first, from 10 am to 10 pm, with half an hour for meals at noon and evening. Time, you can eat in the store or go out. If you go out to eat, you need to pay for it. You can take one day off every week, but you can only take it during the week. There are many people on weekends, so you can’t take time off.”
"Okay. Please ask Sister Wenwen where I live?"
"The dormitory is next to the hotel. There are six people per room. I will ask Xiaofang to take you there after get off work tonight."
"Xiao Fang?"
"She is also a waiter in our hotel. She also has a seat on the upper bunk. You can stay there."
Guan Lei nodded.
"You know what you usually do at work, right?"
"Carrying dishes and washing dishes."
"Well, we who do service work must be careful. Be patient and serve your customers well. Let Xiaofang explain this to you when the time comes." The landlady raised her wrist and looked at her watch. "It's almost time. You go to work first."
Guan Lei said in a daze. After walking out, the proprietress followed, went to the kitchen again, then took out a red apron and said, "Put this on."
Guan Lei thought, on the first day, she had to show off at least.
She saw a broom and dustpan in the corner, and began to sweep the floor.
The boss lady saw it and was happy in her heart.
At about 9:50, five young women walked in, chatting and laughing.
The proprietress called them together, introduced each other, and told them to take more care of Guan Lei, and then sat at the front desk to eat melon seeds.
These girls were all pretty and had short hair. Guan Lei only paid close attention to the girl named Xiaofang.
The girl is about the same age as her. Although her skin is not very white, she has a pair of smiling and crooked eyes, and she looks very easy to get along with.
Guan Lei followed them and wiped the tables and chairs. The tables and chairs were all made of solid wood and were relatively heavy. She was afraid of tiring the fetus in her belly, so she did not move them. After doing this, several girls supervised each other and said some common phrases, such as: Excuse me, sir, how can I help you? For example: Thank you for your patronage, welcome to visit us next time, etc.
The boss lady told them that these common expressions must be practiced regularly, paying special attention to facial expressions, intonation, etc.
Guan Lei practiced over and over again with the help of the enthusiastic woman named Xiaofang.
The whole morning was spent in this boring and boring way.
At twelve o'clock at noon, Guan Lei rubbed her sore neck and ate with Xiaofang and the others.
The restaurant provides a bowl of steamed noodles.
Guan Lei felt very hungry, and she finished her meal quickly. In fact, she really wanted to eat a second bowl, but seeing other girls only eating one bowl, she was too embarrassed to ask for more, so she had to endure it.
She had just finished eating. She had taken a long shuttle bus this morning. She felt a little tired and wanted to sit on a chair and relax for a while, but someone came to the restaurant.
A man and a woman came, both very young. The man is in a suit and leather shoes, and the woman is in a beige dress.
The boss lady spoke and asked Xiaofang to take Guan Lei to familiarize herself with the whole process.
Xiaofang quickly served two cups of tea, then handed over the menu with both hands, and asked with a smile: "Welcome to you, what would you like to eat?"
The man took it He handed the menu to the woman next to him and said gently: "Baby, come here, you can eat whatever you want."
"Oh, don't scream." The woman blushed and scolded, "It's so embarrassing."
"What's the point? You are my baby." As he said that, the man hugged the woman. , and kissed her on the face.
Guan Lei was heartbroken after seeing this.
As for this woman’s face, she felt it was not as good as hers.
But how could she find such a young, handsome, rich man who still loved her?
They waited for a long time before ordering the dishes. Although they didn't order much, each dish was a solid dish, and all of them were some of the store's signature dishes, such as avocado fish, dry pot chicken, etc.
She was illiterate and didn't know how much it would cost, so Xiaofang whispered to her the cost of the meal and said it would cost more than a hundred in total.
She only earns 30 yuan a month, and one meal equals less than half a year's salary.
There is really no comparison between people.
After the dishes were cooked, Guan Lei followed Xiaofang to serve the dishes. This time, it was up to her to do the talking. She carefully placed the anchovy fish in the middle of the table, but her hands shook. Just a little soup spilled out.
She hurriedly took out a paper towel and wiped it, with her tongue hanging out, she stammered: "Yes, I'm sorry, this, this is the anchovy, please, please use it slowly."
The man raised his head and looked at it. She glanced at him and said, "New here?"
Guan Lei blushed and nodded.
Xiaofang put the boiled shrimp on the table and said, "It's the first day for our colleagues to go to work today. We apologize for any poor service."
The man waved his hand. Said: "It doesn't matter, go ahead."
As soon as Guan Lei said "Thank you", the woman frowned and exclaimed: "Oh, the soup has splashed on my clothes."
Guan Lei was shocked and took a closer look. , there is indeed a brown stain as big as a grain of rice on the shoulder of the beige dress.
She quickly bowed her back and apologized repeatedly.
"What do you think we should do?" The woman said with a sullen face, "My clothes cost more than a thousand yuan."
"I, I really didn't mean it. "Guan Lei cried. She felt that her knees were weak and she wanted to kneel down.
For more than a thousand yuan, even if she was killed, she couldn't afford the compensation.
