Chapter 123 The Shopkeeper is Too Enchanting 3

"Clap!"

Mo Chen picked up a large bundle of firewood and threw it at Luo Yunche's feet. "I'll give you a quarter of an hour to chop the firewood."

After saying that, Mo Chen picked up a piece of scattered wood from the side, picked up the axe and split the wood into several pieces with two clicks.

"This is the standard. You need to chop the firewood into this size. While you are chopping, I will test your memory and ability to respond on the spot. If you fail to chop the firewood well or fail to answer the question after a quarter of an hour, I can only say sorry to you."

"So, Mr. Luo, are you ready?"

"Hold on."

Luo Yunche nodded in response, then quickly rolled up her wide sleeves and tied the troublesome hem of her skirt around her waist. After everything was ready, she looked at Mo Chen with confidence.

"I'm ready, girl, start the timer."

"Okay," Mo Chen curled his lips, "Let's get started."

Luo Yunche picked up the axe that Mo Chen had just used and started chopping wood with great concentration. His rolled-up sleeves revealed his strong and muscular forearms. As he chopped wood, his forearm muscles bulged from time to time, with graceful and sexy lines.

A trace of satisfaction flashed across Mo Chen's eyes, "Master Luo, I will start asking questions then."

"For example, five tables of guests came to Youyunlou at the same time. There were two people at the first table, both men, who seemed to be two friends. They ordered a plate of squirrel mandarin fish, a plate of stir-fried bamboo shoots, a plate of sausages and two bowls of rice."

"The second table was occupied by an old man who ordered a bowl of plain noodles with a fried egg."

"The third table of guests is a couple with a little girl. They ordered one serving of squirrel fish, one serving of four-happiness meatballs, two taels of braised beef, and one serving of corn and pork bone soup. Today is the girl's birthday, and according to the restaurant's rules, she will be given a bowl of longevity noodles."

"The fourth table was a pair of sisters. They ordered a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs, a plate of spicy chicken, a plate of stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and a plate of lotus crisps."

"The last table of guests is a bit troublesome. They are a young couple. The man asked the woman what she wanted to eat. She said whatever. But the man mentioned several dishes in a row. The woman said they were too greasy or too strong. So the two of them couldn't decide what to order after a long time. At this time, Youyunlou was busy. New guests kept coming in and wanted to order from you. But these two people didn't let you leave before they ordered. In order not to waste time, what would you choose to do?"

"Based on the woman's reasons for refusing, I will quickly recommend a few suitable dishes based on our menu."

Luo Junche continued to work at a faster pace while paying attention to answer Mo Chen's questions.

"But I have never seen the menu of Youyunlou. Judging from the reason why the woman refused, it is probably because she prefers lighter flavors. Stir-fried shrimp, chicken with mushrooms, scrambled eggs with chopped green onions, and moonlight over lotus pond. These dishes are relatively light and are available in almost every restaurant in Jindu. I'm sure Youyunlou is no exception."

Mo Chen tilted his head, tapped his face twice with his index finger, and looked unconsciously to the upper left, as if he was thinking about something.

"Row."

Mo Chen nodded slightly, his face showing no sign of satisfaction or dissatisfaction.

"According to what you said, the fifth table ordered these four dishes. After ordering, you reported the dishes for the five tables to the kitchen, but the kitchen told you that there is only one fish left, so only one serving of squirrel mandarin fish can be made. You need to negotiate with one of the tables and ask them to cancel the dish or change it. Which table would you choose to negotiate with?"

"The squirrel mandarin fish was ordered by the first and third tables respectively. According to the order of ordering, I will choose to negotiate with the guests at the third table, inform them of the situation in the kitchen, and recommend other dishes with similar tastes to them."

"But what if the guests at the third table don't want to order it? Squirrel mandarin fish is sweet and sour, which is very suitable for children. And the name of this dish makes you feel that this dish must be very cute. So when the children hear that this dish is no longer available, they will cry loudly. What countermeasures do you have at this time?"

"There are many sweet and sour dishes, such as sweet and sour spareribs, sweet and sour pork, and sweet and sour pork. The more difficult part is how to make the children happy, but I happen to have some small skills. I can use radish to simply carve a squirrel for the children. It won't take too long."

Mo Chen raised his eyebrows. "I didn't expect that Mr. Luo had such a skill. Not bad. Now, the last question. Do you remember what the five tables of guests ordered?"

"of course."

Before he knew it, Luo Junche had already chopped down the last piece of firewood. He raised his hand and chopped it down cleanly, and the firewood immediately broke into pieces.

He rested the axe against the chopping block, his breathing steady, not giving any indication that he had just chopped a whole bundle of firewood.

After finishing all this, he looked at Mo Chen calmly, "The first table of guests ordered one serving each of squirrel mandarin fish, stir-fried bamboo shoots, and sausage, plus two bowls of rice."

"The second table had a bowl of plain noodles with a fried egg."

"The third table of guests ordered one serving of squirrel mandarin fish, four-joy meatballs, corn pork bone soup, and two taels of braised beef. The squirrel mandarin fish is out of stock, so we need to replace it with another dish or cancel it according to the guest's request. Oh, and there is also a bowl of longevity noodles for the birthday person."

"The fourth table ordered a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs, a plate of spicy chicken, a plate of stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and a plate of lotus crisps."

"The last table of guests had stir-fried shrimp, mushroom chicken, scrambled eggs with chopped green onions, and moonlight over the lotus pond."

After telling Mo Chen all the information he had mentioned in one breath, Luo Yunche looked into Mo Chen's smiling eyes and asked confidently, "Am I right?"

"Clap clap clap clap!"

Mo Chen couldn't help but applaud, "Excellent! It seems that Master Luo is much better than I thought."

"In that case, do you think I'm suitable to be a waiter at Youyunlou?"

"Not bad!" Mo Chen raised his lips in satisfaction. "From now on, you will be a member of Youyun Tower. Come with me. I will take you to sign a contract."

"sit!"

Mo Chen brought Luo Junche to his study and raised his hand to motion him to sit down.

Then he took out a piece of white paper, dipped the brush in ink, and began to write the contract stroke by stroke.

While she was writing with her head down, Luo Yunche quietly observed the study room.

Behind her was a large bookshelf filled with books. There were also many scrolls next to the desk. For a restaurant owner, she actually loved reading. I wonder if there were any secrets hidden in this study.

"What are your expectations for your monthly salary?"

Luo Junche retracted his gaze.

"Five hundred coins."

"Five hundred coins? That's pretty much the same price for waiters out there, but it's different in Youyunlou, and you're much better than those guys, so I'll give you one or two taels of silver every month."

"Thank you very much, girl."

"You're welcome."

Mo Chen waved her hand and wrote down his salary in a very eloquent manner, then looked up at him.

"By the way, do you have a place to stay? We provide accommodation here, but if your home is not far away, you can go home if you want."

"To be honest, I'm not from Jindu, but I've just been here for two days. I've been staying in an inn for some time. It would be great if I could stay in Youyun Tower."

"That's fine."

Mo Chen put the last stroke on the contract, then put down the brush in his hand, picked up the contract, blew away the wet ink on it, and then handed it to Luo Yunche.

"See if there is any problem. If there is no problem, please press your fingerprint."

After saying that, Mo Chen found a piece of ink and placed it next to his hand.

"No problem, the girl's offer is very good."

After saying that, he pressed his handprint on it without hesitation.

Mo Chen curled his lips and smiled, the prey had come to him.

She walked to Luo Yunche's side, bent down and pressed her thumbprint on the contract.

"I'll accept this contract first. By the way, my name is Mo Chen. You can call me Shopkeeper Mo, or just call me by my name. There's no need to call me girl."

As Mo Chen spoke, he put the contract between the two into the cabinet.

"Come on, I'll show you your room."

"This is my room. The rooms next to it are empty. Over there is Hong Er's room. You can live in the room opposite mine from now on."

Mo Chen brought Luo Junche to their accommodation, briefly introduced the layout of the place to him, and then told him about the personnel structure of Youyun Tower.

"In addition to you and me, our restaurant has a chef, a kitchen helper, and two handymen. The only ones living in the backyard are you and me, Hong Er. The others live nearby and go home every day. Hong Er is a handyman. He went out today for something. You two can get to know each other when he comes back. As for the others, we'll have to wait until we resume work."

Luo Junche followed behind Mo Chen and listened quietly to her introduction, nodding in response from time to time.

"That's about it."

Mo Chen pushed open the door in front of him and said, "No one has lived here for a long time, so it's quite dusty. You have to clean it yourself. As for the bedding and other things, come to me after you've cleaned them. I'll go back to my room first, so just knock on the door when you come."

"Okay, thank you, shopkeeper."

Luo Yunche nodded. This Shopkeeper Mo was indeed very versatile and could be so considerate even to a small waiter like him.
