"Brother, come to my house tonight to tease me. I bought a house outside Xianyang City, a courtyard house. Master Liu must appreciate it!"
Of course, the chefs nearby hurried to their rest rooms, Hua La Hua La counted out 10 taels of silver and handed them to Mei Hua through me.
The head chef hurriedly looked happy, took it with both hands, thanked him repeatedly, shook his round head with his fat waist, and bowed.
Of course I also know the etiquette, but I know how much money I have in my pocket. I haven’t even received a month’s salary yet, so how can I pay for it?
But now, the situation is special. I have just arrived, there is not much contact, and I have won 500 copper coins. Let's deal with the emergency first.
Because a few days ago, I won 500 yuan from Wang Bing, the buyer, playing cards.
So he took it out of the small cloth bag hanging on the wall, looking relaxed and happy, and handed it to the chef Meihua opposite.
The head chef smiled naturally, his big eyes and hair flickered, and he glanced at the meaning in my hand. "Thank you, Chef Bancheng."
"Thank you, Master Liu!"
After that, Meihua still took her little flower leather bag and went to other kitchens.
I haven't seen Master Qiu today.
When it was getting dark, according to Meihua's notice, the entire Xiangyu Hall, except for the master on duty, all divided their heads and rushed outside Xianyang East City.
I asked, "How can Mr. Qiu get there?"
What I mean is to ask, does Mr. Qiu need to accompany me, or should we all go to participate in Meihua’s good deeds? At least Meihua should take Mr. Qiu’s car.
Meihua said, no need, he has a driver, and he has seen the new house I bought.
Let's go.
Just like that, other masters pulled me into Rencheng's car.
Rencheng was the person who invited me to drink in the dormitory on the first day I registered.
Unexpectedly, he also has his own carriage.
The Rencheng carriage is a two-horse carriage. The carriage drives very fast and does not slow down regardless of whether it is a traffic intersection or not. I said to the master next to me, "Is this okay?"
The master next to him heard it and said, "Never mind it, their whole family is in the transportation system, it's a piece of cake for him."
He turned around and asked, "Master Liu, can you drive a car?"
I replied awkwardly, "No!"
"How is that possible? You are about to be our supervisor here. How can you do this if you don't know how to drive a car!"
The master in front spoke again.
"As long as there is someone who can drive the car, Master Qiu will retire soon. Master Liu will become the leader immediately. How can a leader drive a car by himself?"
The big chef said, "Yes!"
"When the time comes, Master Liu, we will join you!"
Both men laughed.
"You two, please don't make fun of me. I've only been here a few days!"
I don't have the ability or level to be a hall leader.
"In a few days, our unit can arrange you to be our back seat. Our Qiu Master will retire in a little more than a year. Isn't this obvious? You have been familiar with the situation in a year, isn't it just right to take over?"
I quickly continued my conversation.
"It's impossible for Mr. Qiu to retire. Isn't he going to become a doctor in the palace?"
Wang Bing said, "I see Xuan!"
Wang Bing has typical triangular eyes, is not tall, but speaks very aggressively. The first time he and Rencheng treated me to a drink, I felt that this person was not authentic.
In the doctor's restaurant, the adults all discussed this, and it was well-founded. Lin Zongren was targeted, and he was originally the first person chosen by King Liang.
Our Mr. Qiu did not make the list.
"Lin Zongren, who is it!" This name is too harsh. Could it be that fat official on the Jialing River embankment?
Wang Bing said, "You don't know him! He is the most interesting person in our Liang Kingdom!"
"Tell me about it!", "I can do what I say, but I can't spread it outside!"
"He is the illegitimate son of our King Liang Mu. Everyone knows it, but no one tells it."
Wang Bing changed the subject and said, "The reason why Mr. Qiu was appointed to the position may be because he has served the Prime Minister for more than 20 years. Thank you for your hard work. The Prime Minister often speaks for Mr. Qiu in the court. As a court official, in This is our business, and transferring a position to Prince Liang is just a joke."
"Don't worry, the arm can't twist the thigh. Lin Zongren's efforts are in vain. He can't get his reputation on the table. He doesn't know how high our Qiu Master is."
"Okay, sit tight, we're almost there."
The carriage turned left and right.
Come to a wide and bright street.
We stopped at a farmyard with four banners hanging on the house.
Could it be that this is Meihua’s home?
I saw that although the farmhouse was spacious, it was full of horse-drawn carriages. After a while, all the employees of Xiangshantang arrived, some took taxis and some drove. The short female sous chef came last. He got down in a three-horse carriage. After coming down, he went straight to Chef Meihua. He took out a big red envelope from his big bag with a smile and handed it to Meihua. Meihua also smiled and took the red envelope with one hand.
"Sister Wu, you're welcome."
So under the guidance of the buyer Xiao Wang, everyone walked through the hall lined with large fish tanks on both sides. All kinds of live fish were tumbling in the water. Several chefs stood on stools and fished out fish in baskets. There are also service staff wearing floral clothes and blue and white floral scarves in their hands, who are recommending dishes to the customers who are ordering. People are coming and going, so lively.
Everyone didn't stop and followed the buyer inside, then came out through the back door and entered a larger courtyard. Turn right and go from the torch under the eaves to the west wing, open the door, wow, it's like a rural home. The three rooms are so big, with three kang tables placed on each of the three fire pits facing the east window. Four pairs of chopsticks were placed on each table.
There are three tables on the ground floor, each with ten pairs of chopsticks.
There are big melon seeds on the table. The employees who had already arrived did not sit in front of the table, but sat on the edge of the kang, eating melon seeds.
Seeing Wang Bing and others coming in, everyone became nervous. Some hurriedly put down the melon seeds, while others stuffed them into their pockets.
Seeing this, Wang Bing got ahead of Liu Bancheng and said, "Everyone is free. You are welcome. We finally came out to relax. We are all good buddies and good sisters. We must have a good drink today."
A few masters smiled stiffly.
That's it, it's a housewarming, so we should celebrate it well.
Only then did I realize that Plum Blossom did not come in with everyone.
While talking, the door opened.
Accompanied by Mei Hua, Mr. Qiu walked into the room. In the room, Wang Bing took the lead and applause broke out.
I took the initiative and said, Mr. Qiu.
Mr. Qiu is 1.78 meters tall, with a fat body and a handsome demeanor.
He didn't pay attention to my words, and Mei Hua from behind had already taken the coat from Master Qiu. Master Qiu asked Wang Bing, you guys escaped very quickly.
Wang Bing said, "Originally I wanted to take advantage of your Lord Qiu's car, but you are worth a lot and will be promoted to a high-ranking official soon. We can't afford it!"
Master Qiu smiled and waved his hand, "Boy, you are the only one who can speak."
Come on, Meihua, hurry up and arrange for people to sit down, start the meal early, and let us feel happy early.
Xiao Wang, the buyer at the back, said, "Everything will be served immediately. I saw you entering the hospital and I ordered the food."
I couldn't interrupt, so I crossed my arms and waited for the plum blossom arrangements like other employees.
Meihua said, "Master Qiu, you are at the same table with Sister Gu, Liu Bancheng, Wang Bing and the big master. You are all leaders. I and other team leaders, as well as the master at the second table, and other waiters, hired The maintenance man and the hairdresser are at the third table below, so don’t be polite.”
"Ahem, Meihua, don't be so formal. Outside, there are still big and small kings. No one is an adult here, no one is an employee, no one is official and no one is temporary. Everyone is equal!"
Mei Hua didn't know what Master Qiu had planned, and everyone looked at the director.
