Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

"The benches are not placed properly and are not in place."

After counting the number of people and making sure that all the waiters have arrived, Xu Huizhen began to check the work.

She pointed at the tables and benches in the hall with a straight face, and scolded the waiters with a cold face.

It was Zhang Jinfang's job to arrange the tables and chairs. She frowned secretly, put down the rag in her hand, and walked over.

"Comrade manager, why are my tables and benches arranged irregularly?"

Zhang Jinfang knew that Xu Huizhen was trying to use high pressure to get the workers to agree to expand the tavern.

However, when Zhang Jinfang became an adult, he began to work as a waiter in state-run restaurants.After decades of training, she has already become proficient in her business.

Besides, in order to prevent Xu Hui from causing trouble, Zhang Jinfang deliberately became more serious when working these two days. In order to ensure that she did not make mistakes, she carefully adjusted the position of each table and chair after placing them.

Seeing that Zhang Jinfang was not convinced, Xu Huizhen smiled faintly, pointed to the tables and chairs in the hall and said: "Comrade Zhang Jinfang, you are also an old comrade of our tavern, you should know that there is such a rule in our tavern's specifications , every table and every chair must be in a straight line. Look, are the tables and chairs you put in a straight line?"

Zhang Jinfang knew this rule, and she followed it, so naturally she would not give in at this time.

She widened her eyes, pointed at those chairs and tables, and said loudly, "Manager Xu, please take a closer look, why the tables and chairs I placed are not in place!"

Zhang Jinfang used to have a loud voice, but when she became angry, her voice became even higher.

The waiters who were busy next to him were all alarmed, and they all put down their work and surrounded them.

Of course, in addition to watching the excitement, they more stood up to support Zhang Jinfang.

In the past two days, Xu Huizhen's new system has really made them miserable. If this continues, they will have to report to the street office sooner or later.

Zhang Jinfang is the one with the highest professional level among them, and he never makes mistakes.

If this incident can be used to severely hit Xu Hui's arrogance, then maybe Xu Hui will retreat and the tavern will regain its former peace.

Seeing those waiters staring at her, Xu Huizhen not only did not back down, but smiled lightly.

Under Zhang Jinfang's surprised gaze, she took a ball of wool from the counter.

Zhang Jinfang frowned. She knew that Xu Huizhen had bought the ball of wool at a huge price to knit her daughter, but what was she doing with it? Was she showing them how to knit a sweater?

Several waiters couldn't help laughing out loud.

Amidst the laughter, Xu Huizhen's face was calm, and she took apart the ball of wool, tied it to the back of a chair with wool, then pulled the wool, came to another chair, and tied the wool to the back of the chair just like before , then came to the third chair
In just three to five minutes, Xu Huizhen used wool to connect the eight chairs that were supposed to be on the same straight line.

She squatted in front of the front chair, squinted her eyes slightly, glanced at it, then pointed to the wool and said, "Comrade Zhang Jinfang, you can see for yourself."

Zhang Jinfang didn't understand Xu Hui's real intention at first, but when she saw Xu Huizhen squatting down, she immediately understood.

Following Xu Huizhen's method, she glanced over, and her face turned pale with just one glance.

The chair, which originally looked neat, looked crooked against the background of the wool.

The yarn connecting the chairs should have been a straight line, but now it turned several times in the middle.

Xu Huizhen looked at Zhang Jinfang, whose forehead was dripping with sweat, and asked lightly, "How about it, do you still think that the tables and chairs you placed are in a straight line?"

Facing the reality, Zhang Jinfang was speechless and a little embarrassed, so she could only stand there, wiping her forehead vigorously.

Seeing that Zhang Jinfang was being manipulated, Liu Zhen had no choice but to stand up and help.

"Manager Xu, it's just that the chairs are not arranged neatly. It's no big deal. The drinkers come to our tavern to drink, not to admire the neat tables and chairs."

Xu Huizhen turned to look at Liu Zhen, and said with a cold face: "Master Liu, you are also a master chef. You used to work in foreign-related restaurants. Don't you know that we should exert the spirit of excellence in our work?"

"Every time you cook a dish, you have to arrange the dishes. According to what you just said, the dish arrangement can't make the dishes more delicious, it just looks better. Those drinkers come to our tavern to taste the delicious dishes. , not to admire the plate arrangement, so why do you still have to arrange the plate every time!"

These words were like a big hammer, smashing Liu Zhen's carefully prepared reasons into pieces.

Liu Zhen couldn't speak in a full stomach, his face was red and his neck was thick.

This Xu Huizhen is really amazing!
Seeing that the two veterans of the tavern were being silenced by Xu Huizhen, the waiters next to them didn't dare to say a word and could only stand by the side in a daze.

Xu Huizhen raised her eyebrows, looked around with sharp eyes, and said in a stern tone: "The tavern has a history of a hundred years. After liberation, with the help of the street office, the tavern has regained its vitality. The street office has given us high hopes, and hopes that we can Play to the best level, carry forward the spirit of not being afraid of hardships or tiredness, and strive to serve the masses well."

"The big guy also knows how tight the domestic food supply is now. The ministries and commissions deploy a large amount of food every year so that our tavern can make wine, so that we can better serve the people."

"You people, in order to be lazy, to save trouble, and for your own selfishness, you have repeatedly been lazy. Are you worthy of the ardent expectations of the comrades in the street office? Are you worthy of the broad masses of the people?"

These words, Xu Huizhen stood at a height beyond the reach of those waiters, and there was no way to refute them.

Xu Huizhen felt a little soft-hearted when she saw them bow their heads one by one.

After all, these people have been with her for so many years, and they have helped her a lot during the operation of the tavern.

If it weren't for their opposition to the tavern's expansion plan, she would really be reluctant to reprimand them.

Xu Hui's heart is not made of iron.

He waved his hands and said, "You all go to work. In the future, if anyone dares not to complete the work according to the regulations, I can only report your behavior to the street."

The faces of the waiters darkened.

Report to the street office, although wages will not be deducted, but will be named and criticized by the street office officer.

It's really embarrassing to be brought up to speak out in front of so many people.

But for Xu Huizhen's approach, there is really nothing to do, after all, Xu Hui really acts according to the rules and regulations of the tavern.

And those strict rules and regulations were approved by the street office.

If they oppose those rules and regulations now, they are opposing the street office.

Zhang Jinfang and Liu Zhen looked at each other, and they both saw each other's thoughts from each other's eyes.

Now only Fan Jin can deal with Xu Huizhen.

But who is Fan Jin?
Didn't you say that you were a pick?

Speaking of Cao Cao, when Cao Cao arrived, just as the two of them were muttering in their hearts, a wretched figure broke in from outside the tavern.

The two looked up and were overjoyed, the person who came in was Fan Jinyou.

Fan Jinyou entered the tavern, went straight to a table, pulled out a chair and sat down.

Xu Huizhen, who was about to go back to the counter, saw Fan Jinyou, and her heart skipped a beat. Every time Fan Jinyou came, he would bring a lot of trouble to the tavern and her.

However, Fan Jin may have no money and has not been in the tavern for a long time.

At this critical moment, why did Fan Jinyou suddenly appear here?
Xu Huizhen took a deep look at Zhang Jinfang and Liu Zhen.

Liu Zhen's expression was calm, and he smiled at Xu Huizhen: "Comrade manager, I'm busy in the back kitchen."

And Zhang Jinfang is a woman after all, Xu Huizhen's eyes caught her, and she felt that all the little secrets hidden in her heart had been seen through.

She couldn't help shivering, laughed twice, walked quickly to the side, and wiped the table.

Zhang Jinfang's guilty conscience fell into Xu Huizhen's eyes, and Xu Huizhen vaguely guessed the truth.

It was as if she had stepped from the scorching summer into the severe winter of March [-]th, feeling the endless coolness, and couldn't help shivering. .

In Xu Huizhen's view, the conflict between her and these waiters was an internal conflict in the tavern.

Even if those waiters don't want the tavern to expand, they shouldn't turn to Fan Jinyou, don't they know that Fan Jinyou is the biggest enemy of the tavern?
Fan Jinyou was sitting on a chair with his left leg crossed over his right, looking a bit embarrassed.

"Hey, the tavern is getting worse day by day. It's almost noon, why haven't any customers come to the door yet!"

Hearing Fan Jin's grotesque shout, Xu Huizhen's mouth trembled with anger.

She strode up, glared at Fan Jinyou and said, "Fan Jinyou, it's so early in the morning, what are you screaming for?"

"Oh, it's Xu Huizhen, the owner of the tavern!" Fan Jin squinted with triangular eyes, and spat fiercely: "What's the matter, do you really regard the tavern as your own property now? I'm an ordinary person Common people, can’t come in? Xu Huizhen, you are making serious thinking mistakes!”

It has to be said that Fan Jinyou really has two brushes, and with just a few words, he can grasp Xu Huizhen.

His rascal appearance made Xu Huizhen tremble with anger.

"Fan Jinyou, you, you"

Xu Huizhen took a deep breath, and was about to throw Fan Jinyou out, when she caught sight of Zhang Jinfang and Liu Zhen sneakily looking at her side.

She woke up instantly, took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, and said lightly: "Fan Jinyou, you didn't come here to quarrel with me, did you?"

Xu Hui really exceeded Fan Jinyou's expectations. He stammered and said, "Damn, of course not. I'm here for a drink, serve me a drink quickly."

The corner of Xu Huizhen's mouth curled up into a sneer: "You have to pay for drinking, the old rules in our tavern, pay first, then drink."

Fan Jinyou did have money today, but he borrowed it from Liu Zhen. He originally planned to use the money to live a life full of food for a few days.

Now being forced to the edge of a cliff, I can only take out 5 cents from my pocket and slap it on the table: "Do you think I have no money? To tell you the truth, I do now"

Before Fan Jinyou could continue talking, Xu Huizhen picked up the fifty cents, walked to the counter, and shouted at Zhang Jinfang: "Jin Fang, give that customer fifty cents for wine!"

"Okay!" Zhang Jinfang put down the work in her hands, and picked up the grapes and flagon helplessly.

Of course, Fan Jinyou would not drink honestly, he would rebuke for a while after taking a sip.

"The wine in the tavern is getting worse and worse. If Mr. Xu knows about it underground, he will definitely jump out of the underground."

"Tsk tsk, this wine tastes worse than watered ones. Alas, the century-old foundation of the tavern will be ruined."

"Ahem, the female boss just can't do it. Look, it will be noon soon, and there are no customers in the tavern yet."

Fan Jinyou didn't come to drink, he came to make trouble, and after a sip of wine, he would be blamed for a long time.

In the past, Xu Huizhen would definitely have rushed to fight with him, but now Xu Huizhen really knows that Fan Jinyou is here to cause trouble, so the best way is to ignore it.

In this way, Fan Jinyou sat in the tavern from morning to night with the jug of wine.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the tavern closed. Fan Jinyou stood up holding the table, and challenged Xu Huizhen, "Xu Huizhen, you performed very well today, but don't get too complacent, I'm coming tomorrow!"

"I don't believe it, you can bear it!"

After Fan Jinyou finished speaking, he walked into the darkness with his hands behind his back, humming a little tune.

Xu Huizhen looked at Fan Jinyou's back, frowned, and lightly clenched her fists.

Fan Jin is a rogue if he has this person. The most common method is to use words to irritate you and make you lose control.

Xu Hui is really familiar with his routine, so she can handle it.

but.

If Fan Jinyou came to the tavern every day to make trouble, even if he could handle it, it would be annoying enough!
However, Xu Huizhen really has nothing to do with Fan Jin.

After all, if you run a tavern, you can't refuse customers.

Oh, what can I do with this matter!

Xu Huizhen fell into sorrow.

In the evening, as the sun sets, the shadows of pedestrians on the road gradually elongate.

Wang Weidong hadn't been back to the courtyard for quite a while, and today he happened to be free, so he went to the vegetable market to buy two big roosters, two catties of fat, and some green vegetables.

There is a big rooster hanging on the left side of the cart, and a fat one hanging on the right. He is the most beautiful boy on the street.

Facing the envious eyes of passers-by, Wang Weidong rode his bicycle back to the small courtyard outside the courtyard.

Guan Tingting knew that Wang Weidong was coming back today, so she specially took a day off to tidy up the courtyard.

Entering the small courtyard, Wang Weidong handed the big cock meat to Guan Tingting.

Guan Tingting looked at those things with a look of happiness on her face: "Brother Hong Chang, why are you buying so much meat?"

"Of course it's food. I found that you seem to have lost weight recently, so I bought it specially for you to replenish your body." Wang Weidong looked Guan Tingting up and down.

Guan Tingting lowered her head shyly: "I lost weight on purpose."
