Chen Yan looked at the three girls in front of her, and then at the boy.
Suddenly coming to his senses, he asked, "Are you guys kidding me?"
"Sister, aren't you worried about a part-time job? We just opened a restaurant and are short of staff. If you don't believe me, why not work part-time in our restaurant first?"
Yu Li said with a smile.
She could see that Chen Yan was in urgent need of money.
Chen Yan was delighted when she heard this. "Really?"
Yu Jin nodded, "Of course, when you are free tomorrow, go to Yu's Fish Powder Shop. We will tell our parents about this today."
Chen Yan nodded, thanked him repeatedly, turned and left.
After she left, the other two looked at each other and smiled with a look of triumph.
"I just thought she was gullible, but she's actually quite clever."
Su Susu said with a smile.
"To be able to pass the exam so far under the nose of the evil grandmother, how could he not be smart? He just saw that we were dressed well and wanted to test us."
Yu Li analyzed Chen Yan's inner thoughts.
Yu Jin nodded in agreement.
…
Chen Yan returned to the dormitory and lay on the bed. When she thought about today, her expression became complicated.
Ever since her mother passed away, her grandmother's family despised her for eating the family's food rations for nothing, so they abandoned her to her grandmother.
Not long after her grandmother raised her, she saw that she could help with housework, so she came back and took her home.
If she hadn't been smart, she would have been sold by her grandmother's family sooner or later.
So, she started saving money secretly when she was ten years old so that she would have enough money to support her studies and living in the future.
Her grandmother taught her how to embroider and write.
Thinking of my deceased grandmother, my eyes became moist.
Chen Yan closed her eyes and tried to calm herself down.
The next day, she rushed to Yu's fish meal shop, but she was still unsure, fearing that the little girls were scammers.
"Hello, my name is Chen Yan, and I am..." Chen Yan stood in front of the counter and greeted politely and respectfully.
Suddenly she remembered that she didn't know the name of the little girl who introduced her.
But the woman at the counter smiled and said, "You're here for a part-time job, right? Our boss has already told me. Just tell us the time you can come in, and we'll help you schedule a shift."
Chen Yan was pleasantly surprised. "Thank you. May I ask when I can start my job?"
"Any time is fine with you."
Chen Yan thanked him happily, "Then I can start my job now."
"Okay, you should get familiar with the job today. When the boss comes later, he will discuss your salary with you."
The woman at the counter is called Liu Hongmei. Because her last name is Liu, many people call her Aunt Liu.
Chen Yan remembered Aunt Liu's instructions and immediately began to familiarize herself with the working environment.
This working environment is quite special, and everyone’s work scope is different.
There are simple tasks like washing and cutting vegetables, cleaning, and tidying the house.
There are tedious tasks such as wiping the table, tidying the kitchen, making soup and tea.
In short, for a girl who is used to doing farm work in the countryside, these things are easy to do.
Chen Yan started her job under the guidance of Aunt Liu.
"I'm a waitress here, my name is Wang Jiaxin." A short-haired girl extended her hand enthusiastically to Chen Yan.
Chen Yan also extended her hand to shake hands with Wang Jiaxin, "Hello."
"Well, welcome to join us."
"Thanks."
After the two introduced themselves to each other, Wang Jiaxin went to work while Chen Yan continued studying.
Although her movements were not very skilled, she was at least able to handle things on her own.
"Chen Yan, come here!" Aunt Liu shouted in the kitchen.
"Oh, here it comes."
Chen Yan put down the rag and ran to the kitchen.
At this time, Wang Jiaxin just brought out the dishes.
"Try it and see how it tastes."
Chen Yan looked surprised. "Isn't this a fish noodle shop? So they have other dishes?"
Wang Jiaxin explained with a smile, "Our boss is worried that customers will get tired of eating fish noodles all the time, so he added a few more dishes."
Aunt Liu smiled and said, "But our customers still love fish noodles the most."
"I see. Let me try."
Chen Yan sat on the chair, picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks, put it in her mouth and chewed it slowly.
The fish meat is soft, tender and delicious, fragrant and crispy, making you unable to stop eating it.
Chen Yan ate several pieces of fish in a row and said with satisfaction: "This fish is so delicious!"
She picked up two more pieces of fish and put them into her mouth.
"This is a specialty fish from the boss's hometown. Fish from other places aren't as delicious as this."
Aunt Liu said proudly, "So, you can't eat such delicious fish in other shops on our street."
Chen Yan nodded in agreement.
She didn't expect fish to be so delicious.
When she first arrived, she saw that there were not many customers and was worried that the store was not doing well.
Now that I think about it, it wasn’t time for dinner yet, but they had eaten early.
Wang Jiaxin clenched her fists and said, "Chen Yan, it's almost time for battle! You have to hold on."
Chen Yan didn't understand what it meant until it was time for dinner.
Seeing the guests coming and going, Chen Yan was a little dumbfounded.
"Our fish meal is very popular." Aunt Liu couldn't help laughing when she saw her stunned look.
Next, Chen Yan started to get started under the guidance of Aunt Liu and Wang Jiaxin.
This was her first time on the job, so she was inevitably unfamiliar with the job. There were many steps to pay attention to, and if she wasn't careful she would make mistakes.
Fortunately, she was smart and adapted quickly.
He served the dishes and cleared the table in one go, which impressed them all.
Chen Yan was exhausted and sweating all over, but she did not stop to rest. Instead, she was full of energy.
"This girl is really good." Aunt Liu looked at Chen Yan and praised her, "She got the hang of it so quickly, that's great."
Finally, the guests left one after another, and Chen Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Aunt Liu walked up and patted Chen Yan on the shoulder.
"Chen Yan, someone is looking for you."
Chen Yan raised her eyes and looked at the sisters who introduced her not far away, and greeted her with a smile.
Chen Yan also walked towards them with a smile on her face.
"We have introduced a job to you. We hope you will not disappoint us." Yu Jin said to Chen Yan with a smile.
Chen Yan nodded, "Thank you both ladies for your help."
Yu Jin and Yu Li looked at each other and said, "We are not young ladies anymore. My name is Yu Jin and my sister's name is Yu Li. What's your name?"
The two sisters then remembered that they had forgotten to ask her name.
"My name is Chen Yan."
"Chen Yan, come on, let's go up to the third floor and talk about what we talked about yesterday. You should believe us this time, right?"
"I believe it, of course I believe it." Chen Yan nodded vigorously.
Chen Yan, Yu Jin and others went up to the third floor.
"Drink a glass of water first." Yu Jin handed Chen Yan a glass of water.
"Thank you." Chen Yan took the water gratefully. She hadn't drunk any water and her throat was indeed burning.
After drinking the water, Chen Yan felt her throat felt much better.
Yu Jin looked at her with a smile, "Chen Yan, this is the pattern and a piece of cloth we gave you. You embroider it for us. If we are satisfied, we will give you all our patterns in the future and pay you by the piece."
