The 1980s saw Hong Kong's economy take off, giving rise to numerous famous writers. Lin Mujin, reborn into this era, also wants to join the ranks and become a beautiful talented woman or a tale...
Chapter 84 Signing the contract, taking the wallet and teaching...
Chapter 84
Lin Mujin didn't lock the door this time when she was writing her novel, for fear that she would be too engrossed in it and not hear the knock on the door.
"It's eight o'clock, and he hasn't come yet."
"It's eight forty and he hasn't come yet."
"It's nine o'clock. It's taking up too much time for me to write. Money is hard to come by."
Lin Mujin muttered to herself and decided to stop writing. She stood by the window sill and looked out into the distance for a while to relax her eyes.
Hey, here comes a taxi.
She had a premonition, it's coming!
He quickly tidied himself up, then slowly opened the door with the key.
The sound of footsteps in the corridor can be clearly heard.
She closed the door with a click and took the initiative to greet him.
At this time, Li Xiuying also opened the door and came out, "Ajin, someone is here?"
Probably because she heard the door close, Lin Mujin nodded, "Probably."
At this time, two young men arrived at the corridor entrance one after another.
"Hello, did Mrs. Zhang send you here?" Lin Mujin asked.
We can't make any mistakes.
The young man walking in front answered, "Yes."
He took out his business card very professionally. It was from Li Dongxu, a lawyer at Minwei Law Firm.
Lin Mujin quickly extended her hand, "Hello, Li Lu."
Lawyer Li introduced Lin Mujin again, "This person's surname is Wu."
Lin Mujin still took the initiative to extend her hand. "Hello, Mr. Wu. Let's go inside and talk."
Then he turned around and said, "Sister Xiuying, come too."
"Here is the contract. Take a look at it first. I'm here to answer any questions you have." Lawyer Li was very straightforward.
Lin Mujin took it and looked at it carefully.
However, the contract is very simple and there are no restrictions.
I read it twice and signed it directly.
Lawyer Li took a contract and said, "Please keep this contract. If you have any questions, call me."
Lin Mujin immediately said, "Excuse me, Lawyer Li."
Lawyer Li took out a brown paper bag and said, "This is the purchase fee. Please count it."
Lin Mujin poured it out and counted it in front of him. "No problem, it's exactly 20,000."
Lawyer Li put the contract away and said, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Lin Mujin quickly sent the person to the stairs, and then took Mr. Wu to the kitchen.
They also thoughtfully prepared paper and pen for him to take notes.
Li Xiuying was very considerate. She pulled Lin Mujin and said, "I'm right at the door. Call me if you need anything."
That means she won't follow to the kitchen.
Lin Mujin smiled and said, "I'll treat Sister Xiuying to some hot noodles later."
She went into the kitchen, handed Mr. Wu a pen and paper, and immediately began to explain, "The main ingredient of hot noodles is rice, so it's best to prepare a beater...balabala..."
Then he looked at Mr. Wu and asked, "Any questions about the raw materials?"
She didn't want to keep talking, so she would ask questions after every few paragraphs so that she could explain it to you if you didn't understand.
Twenty thousand dollars is not that easy to come by.
Mr. Wu shook his head. "No."
Since the other party said no more, she continued.
She explained the preparation of the water, the only part that requires some technical skills, in more detail.
He even slowed down his speech so that the other party could record everything.
"We're pressed for time today. Normally, when we make hot dough, we need to let the rice paste sit for a while so that the dough will be more elastic."
The next step is to steam it in the steamer.
"Hold a corner of the cloth so that the rice paste won't flow out. If big bubbles appear, it's cooked. The dough is very sticky, so prepare cooking oil and apply it at any time."
"You can add or reduce the amount of vegetables according to your preferences, but the chili oil is a must. I will make chili oil next time. It is best to use rapeseed oil..."
I use a lot of chili oil every day, and it can be stored for a long time.
So she simply fried a big pot to save her cousin Lin from having to do it.
Soon the aroma of chili oil filled the entire kitchen.
Lin Mujin didn't notice the slight excitement on the young Mr. Wu's face.
It turned out that one of the chefs in his hotel had a unique skill in frying chili oil, which he never passed on to others.
Many of their chefs have tried to make it, but the taste is just not that good.
But now that he smelled this fragrance, he knew the master chef's secret. How could he not be excited?
I was assigned to do the work reluctantly, but who knew that it would lead to a great success.
Of course, Lin Mujin didn’t know all this, so she prepared three bowls of hot noodles.
"Mr. Wu, please taste it."
She brought another bowl to Li Xiuying.
She has it too, and she has never been someone who would put herself in a difficult position.
It still tastes the same, her cooking skills haven’t improved, thank God!
Today's task can be completed successfully.
"Mr. Wu, do you have any other questions? Do you need to do it again yourself?" Lin Mujin asked.
Mr. Wu shook his head. "No, it's not difficult."
Lin Mujin's smile grew even brighter. "Okay then. If you have any follow-up questions, please ask Mrs. Zhang to contact Sister Zhu. I promise I'll teach you until you learn."
So she felt at ease taking the 20,000 yuan.
He personally escorted the person to the stairs.
Li Xiuying held the bowl and asked, "Is this all right?"
Lin Mujin nodded. "He's a professional chef. He'll learn it naturally after watching it once and taking notes."
Li Xiuying said, "I wanted to set up a stall, but unfortunately I don't have the skills."
Lin Mujin said, "My sister is more talented in cooking, but I'm just average. Sister Xiuying, what kind of job are you planning to get? Your previous job was fine except that you got off work too late."
Li Xiuying sighed, "I know that too. But I finally made it to the position of lobby manager, and my salary and bonuses have gone up a level, so I can't bear to give it up. Looking back on this incident, it's a good thing. It helped me make up my mind."
Lin Mujin pinched herself and didn't try to find out what was going on. That was someone else's privacy.
I just mentioned it briefly because I don't want to go into details.
Li Xiuying continued, "I'd like to apply for a job at Bandao Hotel. The salary and benefits there are good, and there's no late shift. However, the recruitment process is very strict, and I'm not sure if I'll be accepted."
Lin Mujin thought of the tea restaurant she went to. The waiters she met along the way were all of high quality.
But she wouldn't pour cold water on him. "Of course you can. You already have management experience."
Li Xiuying shook her head. "I'm not that greedy to apply for a management position. I'm just an ordinary waiter. Although the restaurant I worked at before was quite large, it can't be compared to Bandao Restaurant. They won't recognize my qualifications."
Even if she gets the job, she will have to start from scratch, but she is mentally prepared.
Now that the rent has been halved, her burden has been greatly reduced, and she can even be an ordinary waitress.
If she can climb up once, she will be able to do it again.
"Sister Xiuying, what are you thinking about? Hurry up and eat the hot noodles. If they get clumpy, the flavor will be lost."
Li Xiuying came back to her senses and started eating quickly.
Lin Mujin went back to the kitchen and made the fourth bowl.
Carry it downstairs.
"Boss Feng has brought you some hot noodles."
Boss Feng refused to answer, "If you have something to say, just say it."
Lin Mujin said quickly, "It's nothing. I just left some ingredients at home today, and I wanted to eat some, so I made two extra bowls. I knew you liked it, so I sent one bowl over."
Boss Feng looked skeptical, "Are you really okay?"
Lin Mujin smiled and said, "It's a good thing to have something to do. I might even need your help making two sets of white clothes and a hat tomorrow."
Boss Feng was relieved. "That's all. Give me the bowl."
She told him to eat delicious food, and she deliberately said, "We are old acquaintances, so a 20% discount is not too much."
Boss Feng held a piece of dough in his mouth, neither sucking nor spitting...
