Chapter 175 The Fifth Store



Hongyu was worried that Lu Yao knew about her eye problems and would not hire her, so she tried her best to deny it

. Lu Yao had seen Hongyu several times before and had noticed that she had difficulty seeing things. Considering the reason why she concealed her eye problems, he did not ask her directly during the interview, and only mentioned it again after she was hired.

But Hongyu seemed to still have heavy concerns and was unwilling to be frank.

Based on past experience, Hongyu's appearance was probably related to the mission and might have some direction to the final mission.

This was an important reason why Lu Yao decided to hire her. It's

just that having eye problems will be very inconvenient in daily work.

Lu Yao did not continue to press the issue, but instead considered finding a time to give the employees of several stores a collective physical examination.

She kept this in mind and planned to contact Bai Jing later.

After breakfast, the staff came out of the lounge, and the lobby was full of waiting guests.

The broadcast of "Meeting You Again in Falling Flowers" received even more enthusiastic responses than the original "The World's Number One".

Hongyu was arranged to temporarily follow Wen Jian to learn how to check tickets and guide guests.

This job is not complicated, just be careful and patient.

Fu Chi moved the filming equipment out of the lounge and placed several cameras in various areas of the cinema, two of which faced the street to shoot street scenes and passers-by.

When it was dawn, the assistant would bring over dry clothes and a few new machines.

He could not really set foot in the world of the Dawu Dynasty like Lu Yao did, and the camera was his eyes.

When the first movie started, the guests entered the screening room, and half of the people in the lobby were gone.

Nowadays, except for the premiere of a new movie, the weekday movie tickets no longer come with a free popcorn and cola set.

Relying on a few popcorn advertisements and a unique recipe that cannot be replicated, popcorn and cola have become a part of the movie culture in the hearts of the people of Dawu Dynasty. Most of the guests who come to watch movies will buy their own set.

During the peak period, Gouzi can't handle it alone, so Luyao helps to receive guests and Gouzi is responsible for collecting money and doing accounts.

In addition to learning to read with Wen Jian, he has also learned arithmetic and accounting with Luyao recently.

Arabic numbers from one to one hundred must be recognized and written, the multiplication table must be memorized and used, and then collecting money and doing accounts are all learning contents.

Gouzi found it difficult to learn at the beginning, but he was very hardworking. After all, he was not old, so he got used to it and accepted it quickly.

Nowadays, when he is not busy, he receives guests alone.

When the peak period is over, Gouzi will refill the popcorn, add Coke to the drink machine, and then clean up the mess and dirty counter.

Lu Yao watched from the side. He was already very skilled. He turned back to the lounge and brought out a new machine.

Gouzi immediately threw away the rag, took the machine from Lu Yao's hand, and carefully placed it on the counter, "Boss, what is this?"

Lu Yao: "The theater and the movie are being upgraded, and the canteen must keep up with the pace. This is a sausage roaster, I will teach you how to operate it. Go and take out the cardboard box on the table in the lounge."

Coke and popcorn have been recognized, and the next snacks to be promoted are hot dogs and orange juice.

The cardboard box that Gouzi brought out contained five bags of grilled sausages, clean bamboo sticks, chili powder, stainless steel clips, and ingredients for orange juice.

Lu Yao first taught Gouzi how to use the grilled sausage machine. With his experience using popcorn machines and beverage machines, he quickly mastered the use of the new machine.

The grilled sausages were placed one by one between the slowly rotating cylinders. They looked dry, hard, and white, and did not look very tasty.

A quarter of an hour later, the dry and hard surface of the grilled sausage gradually bulged, the casing was shiny, and the smell of meat also wafted out.

Lu Yao: "I like the blooming hot dogs the most. Put a bamboo stick on it, without chili powder, and it tastes delicious when eaten dry."

Gouzi stared at the grilled sausages rotating on the machine and secretly swallowed his saliva, "Boss, how do you know that the hot... hot dogs are blooming?"

Lu Yao: "This is simple. The sausage casing bursts open in the middle, revealing the pink and shiny meat. That's blooming."

Gouzi nodded, still staring at the hot dog, afraid of missing it blooming.

Lu Yao has already set the price, hot dogs are two cents each, orange juice and Coke are the same, one cent per cup.

After teaching Gouzi, she sat behind the counter waiting to eat the first hot dog.

Gouzi seemed a little nervous and tiptoed, not as smart as usual.

Lu Yao: "Gouzi, have you ever thought about taking a formal name? Do you still remember your last name?"

Gouzi was stunned and paused for

a moment, "Famous name?" Lu Yao had also considered this for a while. Gouzi had already settled down in the cinema.

As long as he didn't aim too high and worked steadily in the cinema for a few years, he would never be a beggar again.

"Just like Zhu Zhu, Wen Jian, formal titles, with a name and a surname. You are still young now, and when you grow up, even if you don't want to stay in the cinema, you will have a foundation for yourself. I think it's better to take a formal name." Lu Yao explained.

Gouzi suddenly became a little excited, his face turned red, and he said anxiously: "Boss, I don't want to leave the cinema, don't chase me away."

Lu Yao raised his hand: "...That's not what I meant, it's just a hypothesis, don't worry."

Gouzi breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his head to think for a while, then raised his head: "Boss, I don't know my last name. My grandfather's last name is Gao, and everyone who knows him calls him Old Man Gao. I want to take my grandfather's last name." The

Old Man Gao that Gouzi mentioned is an old beggar who is blind in one eye and has a broken leg, but he has been entrenched in Liangjing for many years and has some tricks of his own. He used to take care of Gouzi and those beggars.

Now Gouzi works in a movie theater, and the mermaid pearls Lu Yao gave him have been exchanged for money. Old Gao rented a shabby house with the group of beggars, and usually weave things like grasshoppers, crickets, and pony to sell.

Life is still poor and difficult, but it is much better than the usual days of having no food to eat and no place to stay.

Lu Yao nodded: "Well, go back and ask grandpa what name to give him."

Gouzi has always been called Gouzi and Gouzi brother. When he begged on the street, passers-by looked at him with the same eyes as they looked at a stray dog.

Now thinking about it carefully, he is different from that time.

Gouzi couldn't help but feel emotional. What the shopkeeper said was right. It is indeed time to change the name.

The upgrade and expansion of the cinema's screening room has been virtually completed.

The expansion of seven screening rooms at one time was somewhat eye-catching, so Lu Yao revised the original plan and temporarily opened a new screening room every two days, and the private screening area on the side of the rest area was scheduled to be opened in seven days.

Screening Room No. 3 was put into use immediately after its completion, and the three films playing in the cinema finally did not have to compete with each other.

However, the third show of "The Little Chef of Shengjing" is scheduled to premiere tomorrow, and Screening Room No. 4 will open the day after tomorrow. The cinema will be very busy in the next week. Even

after hiring Hongyu, there are still not enough clerks.

Lu Yao stood at the door and murmured in a low voice: "He came particularly late this time."

The system popped up: [Who are you talking about? ]

Lu Yao looked at the sky and estimated that Ji Zhixin had arrived at the Maorongrong Shop.

Before giving him the information about the new video she purchased, she turned back to the lobby and prepared to go to the Furry Shop without paying attention to the system.

All aggrieved and depressed: [……]

Ji Zhixin was handling the daily affairs of the Furry Shop in the fishing room. When Lu Yao came over, he was busy.

Lu Yao handed the information to him and left.

She came out of the Furry Shop, contacted Bai Jing, and agreed to have a physical examination in three days. After walking a few steps, she felt hungry again. She remembered that she had not eaten anything in the cinema in the morning, so she simply went to the snack bar to eat something.

The snack bar had just opened, and the store was as busy as usual.

The clerk was a little surprised to see her come so early today.

Hearing that the owner had not had breakfast yet, he immediately brought her food.

Lu Yao drank tofu pudding, ate Monster meat cakes, and listened to Xiao Qie's talk.

Xiao Qie told her excitedly that a new film and television base was being built next to the 99th floor.

Every day, hundreds of volunteers sculpted houses, brick walls, and various interior furniture there. The residents of the dream town wanted to make their own movies.

Lu Yao stood at the railing of the 99th floor and looked down, and was shocked.

The thick fog dissipated, and a large area below appeared with antique buildings still under construction. Even from a distance, one could feel the details in it. No wonder so many people went to sculpt them.

Lu Yao asked, "Are you going to shoot a costume drama?"

Xiao Qie nodded, "I heard that it was inspired by "The World's Number One" and "The Little Chef of Shengjing" to build an imperial city below."

Lu Yao: "... As expected of you."

It's good to have illusions.

Xiao Qie's eyes sparkled, "Shopkeeper, when we're done, you can show it in the cinema. The captain of the guard said that there will be no compensation."

The idea of ​​shooting a movie was not unheard of in the early years, and some people tried it, but they didn't do it in the end.

They are already dead, and relatively speaking, they don't have that many desires and emotions.

Some things get tiring when they are done, and I don't know how many people give up halfway.

Later, the amusement park games became popular, and the real experience is more attractive than the false fantasy.

The emergence of snack bars changed that situation.

The normal influx of movies once again stimulated the residents of the dreamland.

They started to want their own movies.

After staying in the snack bar for more than an hour, Lu Yao met Xiao Ji and told him about the physical examination in three days.

I don’t know how many doctors Bai Jing will arrange to come, and Xiao Ji has been in contact with the Bai family.

Back to the cinema, Lu Yao’s heart skipped a beat, and his eyes turned around and stopped at the rest area, suddenly quickening his pace.

The man was wearing black clothes and had white hair, with his back to the door.

Before seeing his face, she had already guessed it in her heart.
