"Why did you come back?"

"Mom, are you done?"

"Are you tired?"

Listening to the little guy's series of questions, Xie Xueqing felt warm in her heart.

She pinched her daughter's little cheek and said with a smile: "I was a little tired at first, but when I saw our Jin'er, I immediately stopped feeling tired."

"What was Jin'er doing just now?"

"Can you tell me about it, mother?"

"It's this uncle, so miserable!"

"His son is lost, and now he can't afford food. Jin'er asked him to tell me a story, so that he can exchange it for a big bun!"

Yan Jin twitched her nose and pointed at Lao Hu, who was leaning against the wall with his head lowered, and told him what had just happened.

Xie Xueqing glanced at the other party, and Lao Hu lowered his head in embarrassment.

There were indeed some exaggerations in his words. It could be seen that Yan Jin was happy to hear it, so he thought it was okay.

After hearing Yan Jin explain the whole situation, Xie Xueqing looked at Lao Hu and asked: "Since you are living so hard, I have an opportunity to work here. The money is not much, but I can feed you every day." How was the meal?"

Lao Hu was stunned for a moment, and then he felt an unprecedented ecstasy in his heart.

He never thought that he would still have a chance to work.

Previously, because of my age, no one wanted me no matter where I went, and since I had fled from famine, no one wanted me even more.

Nowadays, there are people who are willing to let me work and have enough to eat. It is simply a dream.

"I go!"

"I am willing!"

Lao Hu shouted repeatedly that as long as he could eat enough, everything would not be a problem.

Seeing how knowledgeable he was, Xie Xueqing looked at Chunyu aside.

"Find someone to arrange for him to wash up, and then send him to the kitchen of Jinglan Building to see what he can do. As for the monthly salary, it will be half that of an ordinary waiter."

"Yes."

In response to the spring rain, he motioned for Lao Hu to leave with him.

Xie Xueqing looked at her daughter and said softly: "How is it? Are you satisfied with this arrangement?"

"Mom, I don't want you to recruit unsuitable people because of me. What if it affects your business?"

Although Yan Jin wanted to help, she also knew the importance of Jinglan Tower to her mother.

"It's okay, it's just some work in the kitchen, it won't affect the guests."

"It just so happens that my mother's place is short of people recently, maybe it can come in handy."

Hearing what her mother said, Yan Jin's heart suddenly dropped.

the other side.

Lao Hu was soaking in the hot water bucket, feeling very emotional.

He didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to take a hot bath in this life.

After simply enjoying it for a while, he quickly cleaned himself up and put on the clothes Xie Xueqing had someone prepare.

Looking at the new clothes in front of him, Lao Hu's eyes became hot again.

Ever since the famine began, he had forgotten how long it had been since he had put on new clothes.

Wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, Lao Hu put on his clothes, opened the door and walked out.

A boy took him across the street and walked for about an hour to Jinglan Tower.

Looking at the three big characters above his head, Lao Hu felt a little flustered for a moment.

He knew this place, it was a place where many dignitaries came, and it was now the most famous restaurant in the capital.

"This...am I going to work here from now on?"

The boy who brought him here nodded slightly, and then took him to the kitchen.

"You are here, let's start with something simple."

"My eldest lady said that if you are diligent, smart and learn quickly, you can learn to cook with us later. Once you have learned the craft, if you learn it again, there will be a special master to teach you how to read, and you will be promoted to the lobby, and the salary will be high. It will rise.”

After saying that, the boy looked at him enviously.

If they hadn't already signed the Xie family's bond of sale, they would also want to work here.

Not only was he given a lot of money, he was also able to learn a lot. There was no one like him in the whole capital.

"Good good!"

Lao Hu nodded repeatedly, his whole body trembling with excitement.

I never thought that one day I would come to work in a place like this.

This, this is something he never dared to think about before.

Seeing his appearance, the waiter patted his shoulder gently and said earnestly: "Do a good job. At least you won't be hungry in the future. The food in the restaurant is excellent."

Lao Hu nodded repeatedly.

After the boy settled him down, he gave a few instructions to the kitchen staff and then left.

Lao Hu was called by a little girl who was choosing vegetables to teach him how to choose vegetables.

This kind of menial work was nothing more than simple things for Lao Hu, who used to be a farmer. It didn't take long for him to do it quickly and well.

Seeing how smart he was, the little girl immediately taught him something else.

Wait until the afternoon when it’s not busy.

Lao Hu finally had his meal.

Looking at the fragrant rice in the bowl, he burst into tears of excitement.

The sweet taste flowed in his mouth, and Lao Hu's tears suddenly fell down.

He couldn't even remember how long it had been since he had eaten this rice.

After taking another bite of the meat and vegetables in the bowl, Lao Hu's tears never stopped.

He never thought in his life that he could eat such delicious food while working.

At the end of the day, Lao Hu only felt satisfied and happy.

At night, he looked at his roommate, the new bed and the new bedding, and fell into a sweet sleep.

The night passed.

Lao Hu woke up early in the morning and felt that this was the most sound and comfortable night of sleep he had ever had.

It's even more comfortable than sleeping at home before.

Another busy day has begun, and Lao Hu devoted himself to his work conscientiously.

Because he is diligent, willing to endure hardships, and a little smart, he was able to get along with the people in the kitchen in just five days.

Nowadays, Lao Hu is not only in high spirits and does not look like a middle-aged man at all, but also has a smile on his face every day, and his life is extremely satisfying.

The second floor.

Xie Xueqing listened to the situation reported to her by her servants, with a slight smile on her lips. She was very satisfied with the old Hu that she had found halfway.

Very good, hardworking and hardworking.

It seems that my daughter has good taste, and she is a good candidate for talking about beggars.

After thinking about it, Xie Xueqing said: "Go and call Lao Hu up. I have something to ask him."

"Yes!"

Lao Hu came up quickly. The moment he saw Xie Xueqing, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

I even reviewed my work in the past few days in my mind. I was very practical and diligent, so I shouldn't have done anything wrong.

Just when Lao Hu was thinking deeply, he heard Xie Xueqing's gentle voice.

"Don't worry, I didn't call you here to accuse you, but to ask you what you think of this place."

Lao Hu's performance today gave Xie Xueqing a good reminder, which made her want to come over and give it a try. If she could succeed, there would never be a shortage of people in this restaurant in the future.
