EP two hundred and thirty-seven. Return to the shop
Cute porcelain doll ornaments, soft and silky silk embroidered handkerchiefs, elegant and practical bamboo woven accessories, exquisite and affordable Tibetan silver jewelry... I am worried that girls will be wary of gifts because they are too expensive, and will be reluctant to use them on weekdays. Shi Xiaolei I deliberately controlled my handwriting and did not choose those particularly high-end items.
Either two or three hundred, or one thousand or eight hundred. Most of the items in the gift box cost less than one thousand yuan.
Of course, there are also some relatively expensive ones, such as embroidery paintings that require skillful craftsmanship, jade jewelry that uses exquisite materials and exquisite carvings, and those that have only been placed for a few days but still have to wait for a long time to be delivered. Mahogany furniture and copper-cast handicrafts delivered to your doorstep.
Among these valuables that were collected at a great cost, Shi Xiaolei regarded some of them as 'extra surprises' and stuffed them into gift boxes.
Of course, most of them are still intended to be used as gifts for familiar neighbors... It’s not that the girls at home are not as important as the neighbors and are not worthy of sharing these higher-value gifts. It’s just that It's just a habit of Shi Xiaolei as a Chinese - keep what you can for your own use, as long as you can use it, there is no need to be too particular. But what you give away will affect your own face, so it can't be too bad no matter what.
In other words, it was precisely because he regarded the girls as his own that Shi Xiaolei did not specially prepare high-end and expensive gifts for them.
On the other hand, it was also because there was no need for Shi Xiaolei to prepare.
He was not the only one who went to China, there were also Kangna, Bayonetta and 2B.
Although I have never been in the habit of spending money separately, and I don’t calculate your and my expenses so clearly, it is a rare trip. Whether it is 2B, Kangna, or Bayonetta, who has a more indifferent personality, they are all more or less. Or less often, you will think of preparing some souvenirs for your relatives and friends in person.
Take Bayonetta for example.
Although her own wishes were not very strong and she had no idea that she had to prepare gifts for the girls, before Pepper left halfway, when the two of them went shopping together, she still decided to go shopping because of a suggestion from her friend. I have prepared a gift for the girls in New York - after a while, the owner of the small shop will fly to New York with her assistant, measure the girls' figures, and then go back to customize a suit for each of them. Put on Hanfu.
Whether it was a conscious thought or a passive choice after following Pepper's advice, Bayonetta did indeed prepare a gift for the girls, and the price was not cheap.
In addition to the various special snacks that Kang Na clamored for Shi Xiaolei to buy, 2B came forward to order a three-piece set for each girl... Although it will take a while to get it, but it really counts. , the gifts the family prepares for the girls are no less valuable than the goodies prepared for the neighbors.
It's just that these gifts were not counted on Shi Xiaolei.
"Hey guys, I'm back~."
After two days of rest, Shi Xiaolei returned to the rhythm of daily life. The difference is that when he came to the store today, he was not driving the usual grocery truck, but a pickup truck temporarily called from the manor.
"Boss~, long time no see." She was cleaning the tables in the store and saw Shi Xiaolei pushing the door open. Lisa straightened up and said hello with a smile.
Hearing the commotion in the front hall, Chappell, who was busy preparing dishes in the back kitchen, and the chef He Liangxi, who came over temporarily to take over, also came out to welcome them.
"Hi~~!"
"Boss Shi."
"Chappell." He nodded with a smile, which was regarded as a response. Shi Xiaolei first stopped at He Liangxi: "Old He, you have worked hard these days. How about it? The work in the store is not heavy, I can adapt to it. What?"
"It's pretty good." He Liangxi smiled, with a hint of honesty in his smile: "There's no need to change it to the taste here, it's almost the same as when I opened a store in China. Besides, I've always been in the kitchen, so I don't have to Talk to the guests.”
"Boss, don't you feel reassured that we are here?" Maybe she was a little late, but Claire had just changed clothes and came out of the employee lounge.
"That's right." Chappell also chimed in.
Although he has given up the idea of pursuing Claire, she is still the girl he once liked. Whenever this happens, Chappelle will always help Claire unconsciously.
"When it comes to Claire and Lisa, I'm quite relieved. You... tut tut." Looking at Chapel with a smile, Shi Xiaolei deliberately pretended to be disgusted.
"Hey, boss, what you are doing is wrong! I would like to express my solemn protest to you, you have hurt my soul~!"
"Come on, I don't know you yet. Tell me, how much delicious food did you sneak in the kitchen while I was away?"
"Uh~. Okay, I admit, I did eat a little bit." Chappell raised his right hand and pinched a tiny gap with his index finger and thumb: "Just a little bit. Moreover, I also wanted to ensure the quality of the dishes. ...You know, He Cai came to the store and needed some time to adjust his skills to make the food taste unique to our store. As your kitchen assistant, I must take on the responsibility of a quality inspector and help him control every dish. the taste of……"
"You are the only one with many reasons." He raised his arms as if to strike, scaring off the black guy who came up to him. Shi Xiaolei smiled at He Liangxi and said, "Old He, this guy didn't cause you any trouble, did he?"
"No, no." As he said that, He Liangxi took out his mobile phone: "Chapple also helped me download a translation software. Thanks to him, otherwise, I would not have been able to adapt so quickly."
If you want to get higher wages and tips when working in a Chinese restaurant, you'd better learn a little Chinese. This principle is the same as when you go to work in a foreign-funded enterprise. If you can speak the language of the country where your boss is from, then your salary will definitely be higher than that of your colleagues.
It's so obvious that there's no need to point it out.
Therefore, after joining this store, the three Chappells took the initiative to strengthen their Chinese learning and learned more or less some Chinese that is used in daily life.
Then, they either take the opportunity to practice while entertaining guests, or take advantage of their free time to find opportunities for Kangna to be their sparring partner... In the past nearly a year, the Chinese level of the three of them has been greatly improved.
Today, their Chinese is almost at the level of preschool children. Except for the accent, there are no major problems in daily communication.
It was precisely because he knew the progress of the three people learning Chinese that Shi Xiaolei was so relieved to temporarily hand over the store to He Liangxi.
After all, He Liangxi had just arrived in the United States, unlike his cousin He Yingshui who had already mastered English. Without the cooperation of the three Chappells, and with his English proficiency of "hello, thank you, and goodbye," it would have been impossible for the two parties to form a cooperation, let alone a tacit understanding... The kitchen and the front office could not form a cooperation. If the restaurant can't operate at all, how can it make money? If that were the case, Shi Xiaolei would not dare to leave so freely and simply.
