The Pentium Era - South to North

Lao Bao and Jin Lili said, your monthly salary is one thousand five thousand, Jin Lili was shocked.

Work six days a week, Sunday off. Jin Lili said oh.

During working hours, you eat whatever we eat. Don’t worry, we won’t eat the chaff. Lao Bao said. Jin Lili smiled, "I'm not afraid, except for eating watermelon, you can't compete with me." Lao Bao knew that Jin Lili was laughing at his buck teeth, so he also smiled, "Okay, this is the way it is, don't pretend."

It’s not even pretending, Jin Lili said.

Cashier work is not easy either. Most of the time there is nothing to do, but sometimes, I need to work in the middle of the night. Jin Lili was shocked again, what kind of job, the cashier had to work in the middle of the night.

"Our company also sells drugs?" Jin Lili asked Lao Bao in a low voice. Lao Bao laughed and told her that although she worked in the middle of the night, don't worry, what she was doing was legal business.

Jin Lili breathed a sigh of relief.

The company provides accommodation. Come, I'll show you your room.

Lao Bao stood up and led Jin Lili down the corridor at the end of the living room. On one side was a gym with a treadmill. On the other side, Lao Bao opened the door: This is your room.

Jin Lili saw the inside. The bed, table and cabinets were all new, and even the bedding was new. Most importantly, there was an air conditioner inside. Jin Lili couldn't believe that this room was hers. She looked at Lao Bao. , Lao Bao said to her:

"After dinner later, we will take you to your accommodation. You go get your things and stay here tonight. Maybe we will set off early tomorrow morning."

"Stay here tonight?" Jin Lili asked.

"Yes, is there a problem? Of course, you can go back to your boyfriend's place on Saturday." Lao Bao said.

"No, there's no problem, it just feels a little sudden." Jin Lili said.

"Just get used to it. In Hainan, everything has to be done quickly. Everyone is grabbing money, and no one will give you time to wait." Lao Bao said.

"Understood." Jin Lili nodded. She thought, I have already tasted this. Didn't that girl just beat me to it? If she was not so greedy, this job would still be hers. So easy to say, so dangerous!

Dinner was booked at the Nanzhuang Hotel, which was the largest and highest-end hotel in Haicheng at the time. They got on the Nandaqiao and turned right. Not far after getting off the bridge, there were cars parked on both sides of the road. Mr. Xia said they should park here. Walking over, there is no parking space in front.

Lao Bao refused to give up and wanted to drive forward. Mr. Xia scolded him, "You won't give up until you reach the Yellow River." Only then did Lao Bao stop the car.

It was still more than three hundred meters from where they got off to the hotel. Lao Bao told Jin Lili that all the cars on the roadside came to Nanzhuang to eat. Jin Lili was startled and asked, "The food here is very good." Is it cheap?

Both Mr. Xia and Lao Bao laughed. Lao Bao said that the food here is not cheap. Because of its great reputation, everyone comes here to eat. This meal is just for fun. The more people there are, the more people like to crowd in.

They walked forward, and sure enough, there were no parking spaces on the side of the road. The sun had not yet set. On Haixiu Road, under the sun, cars were coming and going, and the heat was steaming. But fortunately, hotel security guards soon came to greet them. A few hundred meters away, holding a big black umbrella, came to pick them up.

Jin Lili saw that the faces of these security guards were all swarthy. It was obvious that they were running around under the sun every day.

The hotel's business premises have a total of three floors. There is a large parking lot in front of the door. It has been full of cars for a long time. Lao Bao asked, is the parking lot in the back also full? He was talking about the compound of the Political Department of the Hainan Provincial Military Region next to the hotel, and the hotel rented their house.

The security guard said that it had been full for a long time, and that there would be vacancies one after another until about eight o'clock in the evening. Mr. Xia said, "Isn't that right? Fortunately, I didn't listen to you." Lao Bao shouted, "Okay, you are a wise leader again."

Next to the door of the hotel, there was a row of temporary simple sheds with iron cages inside. Mr. Xia walked into the hotel door himself, went to enjoy the cool air, and told Lao Bao to take Xiao Jin to get familiar with them.

Lao Bao took Jin Lili to the shed, pointed to each cage and said to her, this is a sea turtle, this is a mountain tortoise, this is a raccoon dog, this is a civet, this is a pheasant, this is a cobra... …

Jin Lili saw the unit prices hanging on each iron cage and asked, are these edible?

"Of course, if you put it here, you can't eat it and it's just a decoration?" Lao Bao said.

"It stinks like hell." The front of the cage was very smelly. Jin Lili frowned, and Lao Bao said with a smile: "It's delicious when it's cooked."

They entered the hotel gate, and Mr. Xia stood there, telling Lao Bao to get familiar with Xiao Jin.

The hotel receptionist knew Mr. Xia and asked him: "Mr. Xia, is this a private room or a lobby today?"

Mr. Xia said that in the lobby, the greeter found the table they ordered from the registration book and led Mr. Xia in.

Next to the hall is a large seafood pool. Jin Lili didn't recognize anything in it, so Lao Bao took her with him and recognized them all: Jiwei shrimp, bamboo shrimp, Pipa shrimp, Australian lobster, Nanhai shrimp Blue dragon, Boston lobster, safflower crab, meat crab, Dungeness crab, grouper, mouse spot, Eastern star spot, Su Mei, red squid, shark...

Jin Lili's head almost exploded when she heard it.

Lao Bao told her that this hotel has three floors. The first floor is the lobby. There are more than 40 tables in the lobby. There is a stage on the left where a professional dance group performs dances from various countries during meals.

There is also a hall on the second floor with more than 30 tables. The stage on the second floor is where singers perform. Behind the hall on the second floor, there are more than 20 private rooms. The private rooms here are relatively simple and are mainly for guests who need private space. of.

There are twenty-two luxurious boxes on the third floor. Important business banquets are often held here. The boxes here have a small dance floor and a full set of karaoke equipment, where you can have fun while drinking.

"The minimum consumption is also 8,888?" Jin Lili asked.

"How do you know?" Old Bao Qi asked.

"You guessed it." Jin Lili said, "Don't all people here like to use a lot of eights?"

They walked into the hall. The hall was basically full. There was no one sitting on the table, and there was a "booked" sign on it. Their table was not far from the stage. On the stage, there were eight girls. Doing the Hawaiian hula.

After Jin Lili sat down, Mr. Xia took a recipe book from the ordering clerk standing aside, and then told her to come back later.

The waiter bowed slightly and said, "Okay, Mr. Xia."

Mr. Xia handed the recipe to Jin Lili, but told Jin Lili that he was familiar with it.

Jin Lili opened the menu and was shocked. The cheapest dish in it, "boiled kale", cost 68 yuan. Jin Lili smiled and said, "I can't afford to come to such an expensive place again. I'm familiar with it." What does it do?"

Both Mr. Xia and Lao Bao laughed. Mr. Xia did not laugh, and Lao Bao said:

"Most of our business is done while eating. You must be familiar with all the hotels in Haicheng, because each guest has different preferences, so you have to choose different hotels, and each hotel has its own characteristics.

"For example, Hailongwang, VIP Restaurant and Hele Seafood mainly focus on seafood, Tianlongwang and Dilongwang focus on game, Shizilou mainly serves late-night snacks, Ah Er Liang Tang is Cantonese cuisine, and Chaojiang Chun is Chaozhou cuisine. The cuisine, Wanghailou, is Hainanese cuisine. After you come, I will give you some of my many titles. Office Director, I will give them to you first today."

"Then what do I want to do?" Jin Lili asked.

"Call to make a reservation and order food." Lao Bao said.

"Also, there are only a few people in our company. Usually when we have dinner, all employees will be out in force, so we don't have to cook at home." Mr. Xia said with a smile.

Only then did Jin Lili understand what Mr. Xia meant when he kept making her familiar.

Jin Lili felt warm in her heart. She didn't expect that on her first day at work today, they would regard her as one of their own and start to hand over her work.

Jin Lili picked up the cookbook, closed her eyes from time to time, and muttered words in her mouth. Mr. Xia asked strangely: "Xiao Jin, what are you doing?"

"I'm here. I'm trying to memorize this recipe as soon as possible." Jin Lili said.

Mr. Xia and Lao Bao laughed. Mr. Xia took the recipe away from Jin Lili's hands and told her that she didn't need to memorize it. The more times she came, the more she would become familiar with it.

Mr. Xia raised his hand, and the ordering clerk came over quickly. Mr. Xia returned the recipe to her, and then told her to order one portion of fish maw soup with three shreds, one portion of stir-fried scallops with summer fruits, and one portion of fried scallops with summer fruits. Ginger and scallion saffron crab, a roast suckling pig, a sashimi green dragon, and a bottle of Remy Martin XO.

While the orderer was writing down the order menu, he asked: "Mr. Xia, do you want to choose shrimp and crab from the seafood pool?"

Mr. Xia shook his head: "No need, just help us choose."

"Three people, I think a blue dragon weighing about one and a half kilograms is okay?"

"Okay." Mr. Xia said.

"Do you want a drink, madam?" the order clerk asked.

"She also drinks." Lao Bao said.

On the stage, the program had been changed at this time, and three girls in Turkish national costumes performed a belly dance on the stage.
