Reborn, taking my wife to college

Chapter 51: Li's family attends a banquet and becomes a worker in a second

"Marriage is a major event in someone's life, and we dare not delay it. I can only ask you if you can help me connect it."

Li Ziqiang: "So that's how it is. I didn't take care of the wedding banquet today. I have the venue, but I don't have any dishes for the wedding banquet..."

The middle-aged man, Boss Chen, said: "Well, Brother Li, I have the dishes. I will bring them over later and use your venue and kitchen. I will also send a chef over to prepare the wedding banquet together."

"How about we take this business together?"

"No, no, just pay me a little for the venue and the water and electricity bills. I'll make the arrangements, and you can just bring the dishes and the chef over."

"Thank you, Brother Li. I just asked both families and they said they had accepted the banquet and couldn't help."

"Luckily I have you, otherwise I would have broken my promise and delayed their important business."

"I won't say much. I will thank you individually once this matter is settled."

They are all restaurant owners, and the circle in the entire town is quite small. Li Ziqiang also knows that Boss Chen is a genuine person, so he agreed to help him.

"No, no, don't be so polite. Why don't you go back and make arrangements first? I'll also do some arrangements here."

"Okay, okay. I'll go back and make arrangements. I'll be here in about twenty minutes. Thanks for troubling you, Brother Li."

After saying this, Boss Chen hurried out to go back and arrange things, notify clients of the new address of the wedding banquet, etc.

Li Ziqiang came to the kitchen and told Xu Hui and Li Sheng what had just happened:

"Boss Chen just came over to ask if we could host a wedding banquet. The water pipe in his kitchen burst and the circuit shorted, so it can't be fixed for a while."

"We have cooperated before, and Boss Chen is a sincere man, so I agreed."

"Besides, I think marriage is a major event in life. People are getting married happily, but it would be bad if the newlyweds were affected by a bad banquet. So I just did a good deed on that day."

Li Sheng: "How many tables do we need to set up? How do we get the food?"

Li Ziqiang: "Boss Chen said he would prepare the dishes and send a chef over to help with the cooking. They will be here in about 20 minutes."

Xu Hui: "Okay, let's hire two temporary workers to serve the food and wash the dishes."

Li Ziqiang: "Okay, I'll make the call."

Xu Hui: "Okay. Brother Sheng and I will steam the rice first, and then prepare the seasonings such as ginger, onion, garlic, etc."

After determining the division of labor, the three of them got busy with their respective tasks.

Li Ziqiang came to the front desk and said to the two girls:

"Yanyan, Jiajia, there will be a wedding banquet in the store later. You two should stay at the front desk and entertain any guests who come."

"If they are guests at a wedding banquet, direct them to the second floor. I'll make a phone call."

Li Changyan and Li Jia: "Okay, leave the front desk to us."

At 10:20 in the morning, Boss Chen came over on his electric bike.

Following behind him was a chef on a tricycle, pulling a cart full of dishes and the wine ordered by the guests.

Li Ziqiang, Xu Hui, Li Sheng, the waiters in the store, Boss Chen, and the chef brought by Boss Chen, everyone worked together to move the things in the car to the kitchen.

Li Sheng and another chef are responsible for processing some meats, seafood and other meats that need to be marinated first.

The waiter is responsible for washing the vegetables, and Xu Hui is responsible for cutting and preparing the vegetables.

The kitchen is busy with preparations.

At eleven o'clock, the wedding guests arrived one after another.

At the same time, Lin Yuchen and Liu Haoran also arrived.

Li Changyan originally told them to come back another day, but after assessing the situation, Xu Hui felt that it could be handled.

"The dishes that need to be prepared can be prepared around eleven o'clock, and the rest will be handed over to Brother Sheng and the other chef brought by Boss Chen to cook at the big stove."

"Let the two temporary workers serve the dishes and carry the plates, so I can free up my hands to cook for you little ones. There's no conflict, and we don't have to change the schedule."

Just like that, Lin Yuchen and Liu Haoran arrived at the time agreed upon the night before, carrying the gifts prepared by their parents.

As soon as they entered the door, they saw Li Changyan and Li Jia greeting guests.

Li Changyan led four or five people to a private room on the first floor, holding a menu and a pen in his hand.

Li Jia led another group of people to the stairs and guided the guests to the second floor.

Li Jia turned around and saw Lin Yuchen and Liu Haoran standing at the door. He waved at them and asked them to come in.

"Originally we weren't so busy today, but we had to deal with an emergency and added a wedding banquet..." Li Jia came over to explain to them why they looked so busy.

At this time, Xu Hui just finished her work and came out of the kitchen.

Lin Yuchen and Liu Haoran: "Hello, Auntie."

Xu Hui agreed with a smile: "Hey, hey, hello. You must be Yuchen and Haoran, right? I often hear Yanyan from our family mention you, saying that you are very good friends."

Lin Yuchen and Liu Haoran quickly nodded, indicating that what Li Changyan said was true.

Xu Hui saw that they were still carrying things in their hands: "It's enough to just come here, why are you still carrying things? Take them back when you leave later."

After saying that, he took the things in their hands, put them away separately, and told them to take them back when they left.

At this time, Li Changyan came out after taking orders for the guests in the private room on the first floor.

Just as I was about to go to the kitchen to arrange the dishes, I saw Xu Hui, Lin Yuchen and Liu Haoran standing in front of the cash register and talking.

She walked over and handed the customer's menu to Xu Hui:

"Mom, this is the dish ordered by the guests in Box 1. They are a family gathering, with a total of eight people, and five of them are inside now. The guests asked not to add chili peppers as the elderly and children cannot eat spicy food."

Xu Hui took the menu and asked Li Changyan to take Lin Yuchen and Liu Haoran to box No. 2 on the first floor to rest.

After Li Changyan agreed, he was about to take them to Box No. 2 on the first floor when Li Ziqiang came in from outside.

Lin Yuchen and Liu Haoran quickly greeted him: "Hello, uncle."

Li Ziqiang then saw them: "Hello, hello, you are all here..."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Li Ziqiang got down to business with Xu Hui: "The two temporary workers are too busy to help today."

Because usually if we need temporary workers to help out on the day, we will make arrangements the night before or around nine in the morning, and then they will set aside time to come to the store.

Xu Hui thought for a moment and pointed at herself and Li Ziqiang:

"Now we just need two people to serve the dishes. Brother Li Sheng is in the kitchen so I don't have to worry about it. Let's go ahead."

"Put away the dishes and bowls and don't wash them yet. Wash them when you're done. That is..."

Xu Hui looked at Lin Yuchen, Liu Haoran and Li Jia embarrassedly: "Yuchen, Haoran, Jiajia, there is something unexpected. We may have to eat later at noon."

"Auntie will get you something to eat in a while. If you want something to drink, go to the refrigerator and get it. I'll cook for you when I'm done."

"Or Yanyan, you can take them to the street to eat, and then Auntie will make delicious food for you in the evening, okay?"

When Lin Yuchen was at home, he was thinking about how to please his mother-in-law, and now the opportunity came.

He stood up before Li Changyan could say anything:

"Uncle and aunt, don't bother. The store is too busy right now, but I can help out. I can serve dishes, wash dishes, and wipe the table. I can do it all."

Seeing Lin Yuchen was so enthusiastic, Liu Haoran quickly agreed, although he didn't know why:

"Uncle and aunt, I can help too. I'm very strong."

Li Jia smiled and said, "Uncle, aunt, please don't be polite to me. If you need me to do something, just tell me directly."

Xu Hui really felt embarrassed: "I'm so sorry, I originally invited you to dinner, how can I let you work..."

Finally, at the strong request of Lin Yuchen and Liu Haoran, they took over the job of temporary workers and followed Li Ziqiang to serve dishes.

During this period, Li Ziqiang served all the heavier and hotter dishes himself.

Lin Yuchen and Liu Haoran were responsible for serving some cold dishes and lighter dishes.

The other thing is to run errands for the guests, serve them drinks or get them chopsticks or bowls, etc.

Xu Hui freed herself to prepare the dishes ordered for the family gathering in box No. 1 on the first floor, as well as the dishes they would eat for lunch.

In order to reward Lin Yuchen and Liu Haoran for their hard work, she added two more main dishes to the original menu.

The level of luxury was no less than the banquet upstairs.

Li Jia was still sitting at the front desk. Whenever a guest came in, he would entertain them, give them directions and help them settle their bills.

Li Changyan is responsible for taking orders, serving food and running errands for the guests on the first floor.

Everyone had a clear division of labor and worked enthusiastically.
