Shanhai Hot Pot Restaurant

The storefront of Shanhai Hot Pot Restaurant has been expanded again, new and old customers know the news, especially those who like to eat barbecue on the second floor, because the decoration on both sides is very loud, after all, it needs to re-decorate and decorate The movement is much bigger than changing the soft outfit.

But the guests didn't care, on the contrary they all thought it was a good thing.

"Then there won't be such a long queue in the future."

"There was more barbecue in the last expansion, and I don't know what else will be added this time."

"Grilled fish on paper?"

"You know a fish baked on paper."

"It's impossible to sell Chinese food, right?"

"Don't come up with random ideas, I think it's good like it is now, and you don't have to wait in line for so long."

"The waiter must also recruit new ones. I don't know if I have a chance this time. I heard that the benefits and benefits of being a waiter here are very good. Anyway, my current job is not good. It would be great if I could come here."

"Don't even think about it. Every time you recruit people, this store won't put up a sign, neither online nor offline. I guess it has its own channels."

"And don't even think about it if it's not a handsome guy or a beautiful woman. This store is attractive."

There were also customers who couldn’t bear the sound of the decoration, so they asked the waiter: “When will the decoration be completed on these two sides? Otherwise, I’d better order takeaway at home. I have a headache when I hear this sound.”

The waiter could only say embarrassingly: "I guess it will take more than a month no matter how soon, why don't you order takeaway."

The customer didn't complain, but just nodded, planning to order takeaway at home after eating in the store this time, and he will come back when the store is renovated.

Sui Ru was so busy with two takeaways. These two takeaways have been running with Sui Ru since they passed Mingqian's interview, and they haven't communicated with the people in the store very much. Even Mingqian would often forget their names.

These two takeaways also entered the store in the same batch as Congee Zhou Wei. Compared with Zhou Wei, who has no sense of presence, the two of them have a lower sense of presence.

They are brothers, different beast crows. Their bodies are similar to ordinary crows, but they have three heads and six tails. They love to laugh when they have nothing to do, and they look enthusiastic and kind.

The flying speed is not as fast as Suiru, but it is enough for food delivery.

Especially when flying in the sky, there will be no traffic jams, and there is no need to wait for traffic lights, so although the takeaway business of the hot pot restaurant is good, the orders received can be delivered within the specified time, so that the customers think that there are at least ten takeaways in the store. even more.

After all, if the hot pot restaurant has not settled on the platform, it must be the only way to hire a delivery person.

The customers also spoke highly of the delivery staff, because no matter it was windy, rainy or other bad weather, the delivery staff could deliver on time, not to mention the timely delivery, and there was no bump in the dishes when they arrived.

And the delivery staff are very enthusiastic - except for Sui Ru.

Anyone who sees a handsome face with enthusiasm and a smile as soon as he opens the door will not be in a bad mood.

In particular, the two brothers are still very enthusiastic. Sometimes they can chat with customers after delivering food. If they don't remember their work, they might be able to chat with customers all night several times.

"What's there to talk about?" Sui Ru felt that the two of them were very strange. She ate melon seeds and complained to Yiyi, "The last time I went to deliver the food, the person who ordered the food was disappointed when he saw that it was me. Next time I order, can I ask her in unison?"

Qi Ming is the older brother of the two brothers.

Yiyi smiled and said, "Qi Ming is very handsome in human eyes."

After all, the original form is a bird with bright feathers, and it is more handsome in human form than other races.

The two brothers have Danfeng eyes and straight noses, and they are very handsome in their clothes. They look like idols who are about to sing and dance on the stage, and they always laugh. It is difficult for anyone to hate them.

Although Sui Ru's service attitude is not bad, but compared with his brothers, he falls behind.

Sui Ru said unconvinced: "It's enough to deliver food on time. I laugh too, but I don't laugh as hard as they do. I'm not worse than my face."

Yiyi smiled and shrugged.

Sui Ru used the new words he had learned to say: "Roll, just roll it hard, and roll it when you send a takeaway."

Everyone in the kitchen laughed: "Okay, do you want ice cream? Chen Yan made it himself."

Sui Ru stood up, patted the dust that didn't exist on her body, and said firmly, "Yes!"

While eating ice cream, Sui Ru asked vaguely, "Where's the boss? I haven't seen him for a few days."

Yao cut the vegetables and said, "The boss has been very busy these days, and seems to be busy with the opening of the business."

Sui Ru wondered, "What business do you have?"

Yao: "Aren't the shops on both sides of the second floor rented out by the boss? They're being renovated these days, and the boss wants to reopen the business after the renovation is complete. I have to order flower baskets or something. I don't know about other things."

"Why do you want to reopen?" Sui Ru still couldn't understand: "It's been opened before."

Haruka blinked: "I don't know, it's a sense of ritual."

Suiru still understands the term sense of ritual. She met a customer before, and for the sense of ritual, she had to buy a copper mandarin duck pot specially designed for hot pot restaurants, just to eat takeaway at home.

"I don't know how long we have to work in the hot pot restaurant." Sui Ru stretched her waist. She felt that she had been in the hot pot restaurant for a century. She always remembered what she came for, but she didn't Know when to reach your goals.

She said to the others: "Have you ever thought about what to do after taking off the demon bone?"

Although they haven't taken off their demon bones yet, it doesn't prevent them from thinking about the future.

Yao: "Oh! I want to make a knife myself. The knives in the world are still not good enough. No matter how useful the knives are, they will become blunt after a while and need to be re-sharpened. My skills in sharpening knives are not very good."

After thinking about it seriously, Congee Congee said, "Changing into a double, so that the boss can pay me the wages of two people."

Yiyi: "Becoming a beast doesn't seem like money can be exchanged. I don't know if I can go to the heaven. Is it fun to go to the heaven? If it's not fun, can I not go?"

Wan Wan has a big dream: "I used to find a boyfriend and use some magical powers to let him have a baby."

Chu Chu looked at Wan Wan and said excitedly, "We think the same!"

Sui Ru was silent for a few seconds: "Is that why you didn't pursue?"

Everyone was ridiculed, they all looked at Sui Ru, and asked, "Then what is your pursuit?"

Sui Ru raised his head and said triumphantly: "Of course I will become a real dragon! Then I will enter the sea. Now there are no dragons in the sea. I will be the only dragon when I enter the sea. I will build a dragon palace. I must There is a tortoise prime minister, and there are shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and then establish diplomatic relations with the human race, and let them find someone to give me the entire submarine power station."

Everyone: "..."

Yao: "... Anyone who has a dream is amazing."

Sui Ru: "I still want to fly to the universe to see if there are really aliens. Do you really think there are aliens?"

Yiyi said seriously: "There are monsters and beasts, so there must be aliens, right?"

Yao: "I don't think so. Only someone who has seen it can be counted. There is no suspicion of guilt."

A group of people debated whether aliens exist or not.

After resting for an hour, Sui Ru was going to deliver food again. She stood up with a sigh, picked up the packaged food and went downstairs.

The guests looked at Sui Ru, a "thin" woman, walking past them with a large bag of takeaway meals that looked heavier than her. The regular customers were used to it, and the guests who had not been here a few times were dumbfounded. .

"It's such a big bag, it looks heavy, and she can carry it so easily?"

"I saw that there was still meat in it, it couldn't be so light."

"...Why didn't she be a waiter? This kind of hard work should be done by strong people."

The regular customers are enthusiastic about popular science: "She is Sui Ru. She has been in the store for a long time, but she has been delivering food. She delivered it when I ordered food. She was very punctual and her attitude was very good."

"Humans are beautiful too. It's not Yiyi's type that surprises at first glance, but the more you look at it, the more beautiful it is."

"I even chased her!" said a young male guest.

So the people at several tables looked at him with fiery eyes, waiting for him to continue talking.

The male customers did not live up to their expectations: "During that time, I ordered takeaway every day just to see her. After ordering for more than ten days, I finally got the courage to ask her mobile phone number..."

Others urged: "And then!"

"Don't be secretive! Say it!"

The male guest shrugged and said regretfully: "Then there is no more, she said she is not interested in people."

Everyone quickly interpreted "not interested in people" as "not interested in men".

"Hey, is it the same?"

"I have no chance."

"I don't have a chance either. I can't change my gender, right?"

Several female guests said with a smile: "Then we have a chance."

The friend booed: "Go, if you have the ability, ask for the mobile phone number."

The female guest was also joking, but no one took it seriously, but some people sincerely regretted that there are many people who have a crush on Sui Ru.

Many customers have eaten in the store more times, and it is easy to develop feelings for the service staff, especially these service staff are good-looking, good-tempered and good-tempered.

However, the strange beasts themselves do not have self-awareness, and many of them have no idea of ​​finding a partner in the human race.

Wanwan does, but she prefers online dating to dating real people. Now she has an online dating boyfriend, and the two have made an appointment to meet at the end of the year.

Emotional life is not necessary for alien beasts, their lifespan is too long, finding a human race means that you may have to provide for the other party's retirement, and you are forced to watch your lover die with your own eyes within a hundred years.

Even if the other party will be reincarnated, it doesn't make sense.

After all, the reincarnated person has nothing to do with the face, personality, or even the heart of the previous life. How can this be the same person?

Since you are doomed to die, don't make yourself unhappy.

They are not Youjun, and they have no ability to let their human lovers share their lifespan with them.

Wu Ying flew to the kitchen, and he landed on Yao's head, Yao stretched out his hand and waved Wu Ying away, angrily said: "If you dare to stand on my head again, I will pluck your hair, pluck it all!"

Wu Ying didn't care, and said proudly: "Come here, come here."

He flew around in the air and shouted recklessly: "Come and chase me!"

Yao clenched the handle of the knife tightly: "You wait, after work, you can see if I pull it out or not, and you're done."

Wu Ying obviously didn't take Yao's threat to heart, he flew to the bowl of soup filled with stone water, bowed his head gracefully to drink the water.

Now he is also a rich parrot, and the boss will pay him a salary every month. Although it is not as much as the others, he usually has no expenses. When he sleeps at night, he just finds a big tree at random and spends the night on the canopy. He doesn't even need to build a nest by himself, he just makes do with it when he sees an abandoned bird's nest.

He saves all his wages.

Now every employee in the store has an ID card and a health certificate, all of them are blessed by the bamboo, only Zhu can find a way to help them get these things done.

Once you have an ID card, you will naturally have a bank card.

Ming Qian now does not need to pay any cash when paying wages, it is directly credited to their respective cards.

The only thing Wu Ying needs to spend money on is buying clothes for hairstyles, and he occasionally comes to the store in human form just to show off his hairstyles and clothes to colleagues and customers.

"Where did the boss go?" Wu Ying raised her head and asked after drinking the water.

So Yao could only repeat what he said to Sui Ru.

Wu Ying excitedly said: "Do you want to cut the ribbon?! I want to cut the ribbon! I will cut it with my mouth!"

The beasts in the kitchen were all silent.

Wuying turned left and turned right: "Will people from the TV station come? I want to be on TV so that everyone can see my beautiful feathers."

They have never seen such a narcissistic bird!

"Where did Chen Yan go?" Yao looked left and right, "I didn't see him all day today."

Yiyi: "He asked for leave, don't you know?"

Yao's eyes widened: "He asked for leave? Why did he ask for leave? He never asked for leave before!"

Yao picked up the phone and called Chen Yan.

It took a while to answer the phone.

"Chen Yan?" Yao asked curiously without putting on airs, "Where have you been?"

Yao's side was a bit noisy, and it seemed that someone was still talking, but it wasn't Chinese, it was Japanese.

Chen Yan said something to the people around him in Japanese, and then Yao heard Chen Yan's footsteps, until the noisy voice from Chen Yan's side gradually moved away, Chen Yan said to Yao in a quiet place: "I participated in the exhibition in Japan, before I Just said hello to the boss."

Haruka: "...Oh!"

"Is the auction going to start after the exhibition? I wish you a fortune."

Chen Yan: "Thank you, I hope I can scrape together enough money to buy a toilet, the kind that can fit a bathtub."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yan walked back to the venue. It was his first time to participate in such an exhibition. The exhibition was held in a pure wooden structure building, and every exhibit was covered by a glass cover. There were no sofas or the like in the exhibition. The guests who came to the exhibition could only walk around, or stand still and admire.

Before Chen Yan came, he was still a little uneasy. He hadn't had much contact with people in the "industry". Even though the Japanese who invited him to participate in the exhibition praised him as the best in the world, he still didn't have much confidence.

Especially after seeing the exhibits, he was even less confident.

The person who invited him said that Europeans and Americans won the championship in previous sessions. After seeing the exhibits sent by Europeans and Americans, he understood why they won the championship.

The extreme realism can really give people a great visual impact.

Anyway, Chen Yan was overwhelmed by their works.

The sculptors participating in the exhibition will also go to see the works of their peers. There are many people around Chen Yan’s works, including Asians and Europeans. They will whisper about the tools and techniques Chen Yan used, but more people are In discussing the subject matter chosen by Chen Yan.

Compared with Europeans, Asians are obviously more appreciative of this art of white space.

But it doesn't mean that Europeans can't appreciate it at all. A blonde sculptor stood in front of Chen Yan's work and discussed in a low voice:

"It's an interesting piece, I don't see what tool was used."

"There are no traces of grinding or polishing. I think this kind of material just cannot be polished. Once polished, the beauty of the material itself will be covered up, and the original texture will be more beautiful."

"It's like an oriental ink painting. I can understand it. I can see the landscape, fish and birds. There are only a few strokes."

"I can understand some masters' ink paintings before, but there are too few such sculptures. Sculpture is different from painting. Painting is on white paper, but carving has the texture of the material itself. You have to follow the texture."

"Is this carved by the Japanese?"

"It doesn't seem to be. The engraver's name and nationality are on it, and it is a Chinese work."

"I know that Chinese people think freehand brushwork is more beautiful than realism."

"What does freehand mean?"

"...Probably depicts a kind of spirit, not a substance? I don't know how to explain it to you, just like you can think it's a river when you see this line, instead of having to see a river to think it's a river .”

"You made me dizzy."

"I also made myself dizzy."

Many Japanese guests prefer Chen Yan's works. Unlike Chen Yan, they see the real works of Western sculptors for the first time, and they have to read them every year. Therefore, compared with extremely realistic works, freehand works are more innovative.

Especially the nuclear carving, small and cute.

Before the auction started, rich people had already started bidding.

Chen Yan made some calculations in his mind, the highest bid was awarded 400 million, and the lowest bid was awarded 200 million.

After all, it is a contemporary work, and Chen Yan is not particularly famous. A master who can exchange his name for money, this price is really not low, especially since Chen Yan is still a "newcomer".

Chen Yan didn't say much, just stood beside them with a smile and listened to their discussion.

"It would be great if there were two more works in this set."

"Yes, but it's still very collectible now."

"I still want to meet the sculptor. I don't know if the sculptor for this set of works is here today."

……

Chen Yan does not always stand in front of his own works, he also goes to see other people's works. There are still a few domestic sculptors who have been invited, but their works are also realistic works, almost all of which are statues of figures, similar to the works of Europeans and Americans. They are indistinguishable from each other.

The level of attainment is very high.

But to Chen Yan's disappointment, apart from him, there are no other nuclear carving works, basically all of them are large-scale works.

"Mr. Chen, a gentleman made another bid just now!" The middle-aged man who came with Chen Yan smiled brightly, "He opened up to 800 million!"

Chen Yan blinked—the toilet came out!Maybe even bring half a kitchen!

"When the time comes to go to the auction, at least 800 million yuan can be sold." The middle-aged man said, "If there are still bids, it may be the highest price in the auction. Last year, the highest priced work was sold for 600 million yuan."

But the man quickly added: "But that sculptor is a master who has been famous for several years. At that time, many people came to him, just to buy his works back and wait for the appreciation."

Artists are engaged in art, and businessmen are concerned with business. For businessmen, no matter how beautiful art is, it can be measured by money.

But Chen Yan doesn't consider himself an artist either. It's good that his works are liked by others, and it's even better if they can be sold for money.

As for when a mansion can be afforded?

Anyway, he lives a long time, so he can afford to save it for hundreds of years, right?

After the exhibition, Chen Yan went to dinner with the person who invited him, and then participated in the evening auction.

His work was finally sold at a price of 1000 million, an integer.

It is also the highest price in this sculpture exhibition.

And the one who gave this price was none other than Katsumura Yota.

For the first time, Chen Yan's name appeared on the Internet, together with a photo of him and Katsumura Yota, with Chen Yan's works in front of them.

"Mr. Chen." Yota Katsumura was a little excited. He held Chen Yan's hand tightly and asked, "If you still have works in the future, please contact me."

Chen Yan could only smile and say, "I will."

Yota Katsumura asked again: "I have a presumptuous question, what made you decide to participate in the exhibition?"

After all, in the heart of Yota Katsumura, Chen Yan is a master who lives in the city.

Chen Yan pondered for a few seconds, and his tone was slightly heavy: "For buying a house."

The people around laughed: "How is that possible."

"Stop joking, will a master like you still lack real estate?"

"Your works are all collection-level, and it is impossible not to afford a house."

Chen Yan: "..."

What he said was the truth.

Why don't these people believe it?If it wasn't for the lack of money, who would want to ask for leave?

Not happy to receive customers in the store?

When Chen Yan was perfunctory, Mingqian was lying dead at home, and Mingqian had already contacted him for the flower basket needed for the opening. After finishing the business of the shop, Mingqian lost energy and stayed at home every day, not very Playing with mobile phones, I fell asleep as soon as I lay down on the bed.

You Jun would not rush him either, but would stay at home with him, and the two would chat occasionally, but most of the time they would lie on the bed and watch movies.

Ming Qian chooses family movies, and after watching them, he shuts himself up, and continues to watch after shutting himself down.

After repeating this for nearly a week, Ming Qian finally "resurrected".

"Let's go, let's go to the store to have a look." Ming Qian revived with full blood one morning, got up from the bed at five o'clock, woke up You Jun, and went to the bathroom to wash up, Ming Qian hummed a song and looked at himself in the mirror During this period of time, my work and rest are not regular, but fortunately, there are no acne on my face.

"Let's go to the store in the morning." Ming Qian came out of the bathroom and walked towards the kitchen, saying as he walked, "I'll go to Brother Yang's company in the afternoon and talk to him about buying shares. When the store opens, it will be on the right track Now, I will use 20 yuan to open a private restaurant, and then I only need to find two waiters who will be responsible for receiving customers and serving dishes, and I will only cut and cook vegetables myself."

You Jun originally thought that Ming Qian would be decadent for a few more days, but he didn't expect Ming Qian to arrange everything for the future during these few days of decadence.

Standing at the door of the kitchen, Ming Qian suddenly turned his head and smiled at You Jun who had just come out of the bedroom: "Don't worry, I'm fine now, I've got my horns and got out."

He just needs time to digest and calm down, and he won't really be devastated.

His parents greeted the new life with good expectations, and he should also revive his spirit.

There is no hurdle in this world that cannot be overcome, it only depends on how much time a person needs to pass this hurdle.
