Xia Xingcheng went to work at the hot pot restaurant on time and clocked in. After changing into work clothes, the manager asked another waiter to help him familiarize himself with the work.

The waiter who took him was Sun Qihao, also a young guy, who had been here for two years.

"When a customer comes, you give them the menu to order, and after they finish ordering, take the menu to Zhou Ping to place an order..."

Sun Qihao told him, and he listened to it. In fact, the work content is not difficult, but it is a bit cumbersome.

"Also, you must keep a smile on your face, pay attention to which table of guests needs service at any time, and go up to serve them as soon as possible." Sun Qihao looked at Xia Xingcheng beside him and said with a smile: "You are so good-looking, remember to smile more, Guests will treat you better."

Xia Xingcheng: "...Is that so?" He glanced at the hand on his shoulder from the corner of his eye.

"You smile so pretty, you must smile more." Sun Qihao patted him on the shoulder, and squeezed his shoulder: "Follow me to have a look when the market opens, I will take you to get familiar with it and you can get started soon." of."

Xia Xingcheng frowned, and didn't think much about it, he only thought about work, and thought it wasn't that difficult, um, he could do it.

The hot pot restaurant is very popular. People started queuing up outside at 09:30 to get a number. As soon as the door opened at [-]:[-], a group of people poured in.

Xia Xingcheng: "..."

It can be seen with the naked eye that all the seats in the hot pot restaurant are full.

Sun Qihao came over and pinched his ear: "Brother, we're working, we don't have time to be dazed, and now we have plenty of time, because many customers line up in advance to get a seat, so you can slow down if you have time Get used to it, get familiar with the customers’ orders first. The restaurant will be very busy at eleven o’clock. Now you go to a table with me to see what I do, and then you will come to the next table.”

"Okay." Xia Xingcheng was taken aback, and his hand holding the menu gradually tightened.

It is true that people take orders very slowly at this point. After all, it is still early, and most of them come in and sit first to get a number. He learned how Sun Qihao greets customers and then starts to serve himself after watching people order.

But when he arrived at the restaurant, another wave of people poured in, especially when there were more customers ordering, he felt a little flustered, and some customers asked what the dish was.

There are many novel dish names on the menu, and he also thinks they are novel, but he can't name them, which is very embarrassing at this time.

When you meet a talkative guest, you will say it's okay, but if you don't talk well, it's hard to hear.

"Are you a waiter, you don't even know what a dish is? A temporary worker? It's really useless, call another waiter!"

"sorry Sorry."

It wasn't just one guest saying that either.

"Hey, can't you be careful when you put the pot? The soup splashed on me!! What a service attitude!"

"sorry Sorry."

"Waiter, bring me an extra pair of chopsticks."

"OK, wait."

"The waiter removes the layer of foam on the hot pot for me."

"Okay." How to get rid of the foam? ? ?

There are many, many things that he may not have done well, all of which were constantly scolded. This made a job that was originally full of confidence and felt easy, but he did not expect to encounter so many setbacks on the first day.

During the lunch break, he didn't go back to rest. He asked other waiters in the store what to do in such a situation. It was Sun Qihao who accompanied him and didn't go back. Then he got better in the afternoon, but there were still some small mistakes. .

When he got off work at night, he felt that he had passed the day dizzy, but how to say, such setbacks were not setbacks.

Nor does he give up so easily.

"finished get off work."

"Let's go and see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

After saying hello to a few colleagues, he left the store, feeling sore all over his body, especially his feet, and just wanted to go back and lie down.

"Xia Xingcheng!"

Just when he was about to take the escalator down, he heard someone calling him behind him, and he turned to see Sun Qihao: "What's wrong?"

Subconsciously, I don't like this person very much, but there is no way for the manager to let this person take me with me.

Sun Qihao took out his phone and shook it at him: "Leave a WeChat message, so we can get in touch."

"Oh good." Without thinking too much, he took out his phone and scanned it.

"Apple's newest model, rich people." Sun Qihao looked at the young man with red lips and white teeth and said with a smile: "You are here to experience life, I saw you came with our boss yesterday, are you good friends?"

Xia Xingcheng snapped his fingertips. In fact, he knew that Sun Qihao's tone was not malicious, but he just didn't like it. Thinking of being touched by Sun Qihao several times today, he didn't like thinking about others like this.

Some disgusted.

"I'll go first." He put the phone back in his pocket and smiled at the person, then turned and wanted to go downstairs.

Sun Qihao looked at him and felt a little dazed when he smiled. Hey, this guy is really good-looking. He stretched out his hand to hold Xia Xingcheng: "May I invite you to watch a movie?"

Xia Xingcheng frowned, and he pulled out his hand: "I'm very tired, let's go, see you tomorrow."

After speaking, walk to the escalator and go downstairs.

His eyes were red with anger, and he clenched his hand slightly by his side.

Just when he was thinking about how he would beat Sun Qihao if he continued to do this tomorrow, he saw a familiar figure at the entrance of the mall.

It was that gray T-shirt and ripped cropped pants again, wearing Crocs, carrying a plastic bag in his hand, and his hair draped over his shoulders, just like the cool summer version of Brother Sharp.

Seeing Xia Xingcheng who came out, Lu Wei called out, "Little guy."

"Why did you come here?" Xia Xingcheng ran to his side, looked down at the plastic bag in the man's hand, "Are you out shopping?"

"Well, buy ice cream and beer."

"Good life, ice cream and beer, do you have mine?"

The two walked back to the streets of the imperial city.

Lu Wei said, "Of course not without you."

Xia Xingcheng paused, his eyes full of resentment: "Then why are you waiting for me at the door, I thought you were going to share with me, stingy."

"I didn't stand at the door waiting for you, I just happened to pass by."

"Then you've traveled too far, right? There's a canteen inside, duplicity, wait for me, why don't you tell me!" Xia Xingcheng smiled mysteriously as if thinking of something, he moved to Lu Wei's side and said: "You just waited for me on purpose, for fear that I would be abducted."

Lu Wei glanced at him: "You are a bit narcissistic."

Xia Xingcheng curled his lips: "Tsk, you are meaningless uncle." After speaking, he glanced at the plastic bag again: "Is it really not for me?"

"No."

Xia Xingcheng clutched his chest and felt a little sad: "Anyway, today is the second day of our cohabitation, why don't you even treat me to an ice cream?"

"You went out this morning because I borrowed needles from you and hummed at me."

Xia Xingcheng: "...No way, I'm just angry about getting up."

"But already humming."

Xia Xingcheng turned his face sideways and stared at him: "Stingy!" After saying that, he grabbed Lu Wei's plastic bag and ran home: "I want to go back and eat it!!!"

Lu Wei was not angry, he looked at Xia Xingcheng's running back, and saw that he stopped after running a few steps.

At night in the old street, the commercial street next door is noisy, while the residential area behind is quiet, like two incompatible worlds.

He watched Xia Xingcheng stop, maybe he was tired from running, panting on his knees, and then he heard this guy shouting loudly:

"Am I, Xia Xingcheng, the one to admit defeat easily? I won't admit defeat! Don't regret anyone who dares to insult me. I will make you look good in the future!!!"

After yelling, he saw Xia Xingcheng straighten his back, as if he was relieved.

"Cool!"

Suddenly, a family above opened the window and yelled at the people below:

"Neuropathy!"

He closed the window again with a bang.

Xia Xingcheng looked up at the house with the lights on, and raised his head indifferently: "Hmph."

Lu Wei lowered his head and smiled, his smile was shallow, and he walked slowly towards Xia Xingcheng.

"Let's go, don't disturb people's rest, it's late."

Xia Xingcheng saw Lu Wei coming up and immediately opened the plastic bag. He quickly took out a piece of ice cream, opened the bag and put it in his mouth. His favorite vanilla flavor spread in his mouth, cooling down the temperature and dryness.

"Hmm~ delicious." Then he shook the ice cream at people provocatively: "I ate it."

"Yeah." Lu Wei took back the plastic bag and walked back with the people side by side: "That means you owe me five dollars."

Xia Xingcheng licked the ice cream: "I have no money."

Lu Wei turned his head sideways, his eyes fell on the bright red tongue touching the milky white ice cream, and above that, Xia Xingcheng was eating the ice cream happily, completely different from the exhausted Xia Xingcheng he saw walking out of the hot pot restaurant just now .

"Are you tired today?"

"Fortunately, it's just sore feet."

"Did someone bully you?"

Xia Xingcheng held the ice cream in his mouth, and after it melted in his mouth, he smiled and said, "How could someone bully me, do I look like someone who is being bullied? If someone bullies me, I must fight back!"

Sore nose.

Quickly finish eating the ice cream and throw the ice cream sticks into the trash can, enduring the unhappiness of the whole day today.

Lu Wei also took out an ice cream from the bag and opened the bag.

There are still a few steps to go back to the house.

"Give you."

Xia Xingcheng was taken aback, he looked at the ice cream stretched out in front of him.

"If you don't eat it, I'll eat it." Lu Wei took the ice cream back.

"No, I'll eat it!" Xia Xingcheng grabbed his hand and took the ice cream, and pressed it down in one gulp. The instant sweetness really drove away the unhappiness tonight, and he squinted his eyes to enjoy it: "Mmm~ delicious .”

"Let's go back."

"Brother Wei, just admit it, you went to find me on purpose just now, and bought me ice cream."

"You're really narcissistic."

"Then you bought two just to give me one?"

"I can't eat two?"

"You want two?"

"Didn't you just eat two?"

Xia Xingcheng looked at the half-dried ice cream in his hand: "...how about giving you the half?"

Lu Wei pushed open the courtyard door: "Why didn't you think of me while eating?"

Xia Xingcheng felt that he was really rude: "Then I will treat you tomorrow."

"So rich?"

Xia Xingcheng wanted to cry but had no tears, yes, he would feel rich if he bought two ice creams now.

After walking into the courtyard, he heard his cell phone ringing. He glanced at the caller ID and it was Jiang Chengyun. He picked up the phone with one hand while eating ice cream:

"Hey brother."

Lu Wei's eyebrows moved slightly, and his eyes fell on Xia Xingcheng who was answering the phone at the door.

elder brother?

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Lu Wei: Why does this kid call everyone brother? How can there be so many brothers?Why don't you call him brother?

There was a lot of trouble yesterday, and the management is getting stricter and stricter, hey, he is bald.
