Chapter 370 This is called being well-mannered
"Yes, you work hard, and I will ask your uncle and cousin where to arrange you later." Xu Hongyan said.
She knew that her husband's cousin and his family opened a store in Beijing, but she didn't know what kind of store it was.
Zhao Nannan nodded, "Okay, Mom."
Zhao Guobing said, "You two don't have to worry about this. Jianhua is my cousin after all, and he will definitely be assigned a good position."
Xu Hongyan: "I'm not worried, I'm just afraid that the work will be too much."
She knows that it is not easy to make money, but since she is her own child, she definitely doesn't want to make him so tired.
Zhao Guobing: "I'll ask later."
Xu Hongyan, "Alright, alright, stop talking. I'm tired from riding the train, and I don't think I slept well. Let's take a nap."
The father and daughter also had the same intention.
The family of three took a shower and made themselves clean before setting off, but it was August and it was very hot and humid, so they sweated a lot and felt sticky all over.
Xu Hongyan was a clean person. She said, "Take a shower before going to bed. We are all sweaty. Don't make the quilt smell."
"Yes, let's take a shower and experience the feeling of taking a shower in the city." Zhao Guobing said with a smile.
In the village they bathe in a wooden barrel, but in the city they bathe in water poured from above.
Then the family of three took a nice bath and changed their clothes. Because the air conditioner was on in the room, it was very cool. When they went to bed, they covered themselves with quilts and had a good sleep.
I slept until twelve o'clock and felt that I had a good sleep.
Since I opened the Gujia Restaurant, whenever I entertain guests, I go to the restaurant for dinner instead of cooking at home.
Su He had already booked a private room at Gu's Restaurant. Seeing that Zhao Guobing, Xu Hongyan, Zhao Nannan and their family had woken up, she invited them out for dinner.
There were four members of Su He's family, four elders, and Zhao Guobing's family of three, a total of eleven people. The car was full and had to be relocated three times.
Of course, the guests took the first bus, so Su He left first.
Zhao Guobing and Xu Hongyan originally thought that their cousin and his wife would take them to a small street restaurant, just like the restaurants in their county town.
Who knew the car would be parked in front of such a high-end hotel.
Before entering the house, Zhao Guobing knew that the food inside was not cheap. He had never eaten pork but had never seen a pig run, so he could make his own judgment.
Zhao Guobing laughed, "What sister-in-law? You don't have to take us to such a high-end hotel for dinner. A small street restaurant will do."
Xu Hongyan, "Yes, yes, eating here is definitely expensive."
"It's okay, brother and sister-in-law. This is our own restaurant. It's free to dine here." Su He led a few people inside.
"Owned?" The three of them looked up and saw the words "Gu Family Restaurant".
It's not our own business.
Zhao Guobing and the other two were shocked once again.
It looks one thing from the outside, but you'll be shocked when you go inside the store. The decoration is so luxurious and magnificent!
The three of them didn't dare to speak. The moment they entered the store, they heard the greeting, "Welcome to Gu's Restaurant."
The sound is neither too loud nor too soft, neither harsh nor sharp, and it is very comfortable to listen to.
Su He smiled and nodded. The private room she booked was on the third floor, and the receptionist took them to the third floor.
One private room, one waiter, one-on-one service.
When guests come to eat, they are first given the menu and then asked what kind of tea they would like.
The private room in Su He is 312, a large room that can accommodate fourteen people. The waitress in room 312 is a new girl named Sun Chan.
Just arrived one month ago.
In the morning, she heard from their store manager, the floor manager, and her master that the boss and his family were coming to the private room she was looking at for dinner.
I was nervous all morning.
Because she didn't know what the new boss looked like or what his temper was like, she was afraid that if something went wrong during the business trip, she would be fired.
But I did ask around and heard that the boss and his wife are very nice people. They will not make things difficult for the waiters when you dine there, and they are not as problematic as some other customers.
The tension in my heart has eased a little.
Now that someone has arrived, she seems less nervous.
"Hello, what kind of tea do you drink? We have Tian Guanyin, Jin Junmei, Pu'er, Biluochun..."
Su He smiled, "Golden Eyebrows will do."
Sun Chan went to make tea while Su He and the other three discussed what dishes to order. Zhao Guobing said, "Sister-in-law, just decide what you want."
Xu Hongyan also said, "Yes, yes, just do as you see fit."
Su He smiled, "Then brother and sister-in-law, I'll take care of it."
"Just watch and see."
Su He, "I'll show you after I finish ordering."
Then he asked, "Brother and sister-in-law Nan Nan, you guys don't have any dietary restrictions, right?"
"Dietary restrictions? No, no, we eat everything." Zhao Guobing said with a smile.
Su He, "I have nothing to worry about, so I'll order it."
Su He ordered six cold dishes and twelve hot dishes, a total of eighteen dishes. Zhao Guobing and Xu Hongyan looked at them and said, "Sister-in-law, you ordered so many dishes? We can't finish them, right?"
Eighteen dishes, and six of them are cold dishes? Wouldn't one cold dish be enough?
Su He, "We can finish it, we can finish it, brother and sister-in-law, you don't know how much Changjun and Changhuan can eat. It's a bit too much to say that they can eat six dishes by themselves, but it's absolutely no problem for each of them to eat four dishes."
"Don't worry, I guarantee you'll finish it."
The main focus of their restaurant is high-end cuisine, but one problem with high-end cuisine is that the portions are small, and the cold dishes will be gone in just a few bites.
Very exquisite.
"By the way, what shall we drink? Brother, you and Jianhua, shall we have some beer, or white wine?"
Zhao Guobing thought for a moment and said, "White, I guess."
"Brother, let's drink white wine. Sister-in-law, you can drink beer." Su He said with a smile.
Xu Hongyan waved her hands, "No, no, I'll just drink tea."
Su He, "Have a drink, two shots of watermelon juice."
"The main course will be served later."
Everyone came over during the ordering period.
The cold dishes were served first. As they were served, Zhao Guobing and Xu Hongyan finally understood why their brother and sister-in-law ordered so many dishes.
This dish is so small.
For a party of ten, cold dishes can be served after three to five guests have arrived, and hot dishes can be served after all the guests have arrived.
Gu's Restaurant also serves roast duck. Su He ordered a roast duck. The roast duck chef personally pushed a cart over and sliced the duck on the spot.
Zhao Guobing and Xu Hongyan have lived for fifty years and have broadened their horizons. They are still able to handle things like this. They are worthy of being a big restaurant in a big city.
The roast duck is the last dish, and all the other dishes will be served.
Sun Chan, the waitress in private room 312, took a deep breath. Her most nervous moment had come. She walked to one meter away from the table with a smile.
"Hello everyone, I am Sun Chan, a waitress in this private room. I am very happy to serve you... If you are satisfied with my service, you can reward me. I wish you all a pleasant meal." After saying this, he bowed.
"well."
The boss of Su He, Gu Jianhua, led the applause. This service commitment was also Su He's idea.
Their restaurant is high-end and only wealthy people dine here, especially on the second and third floors, where the cost of each table is basically no less than five hundred.
The waiter provides one-on-one service. If the customer is satisfied with her service, he or she can give her a reward, which is a tip.
The tips that waiters receive do not need to be handed over; they are given to the waiters and can be considered as additional income in addition to their wages.
A boss cannot be stingy. Su He took out ten big group tickets from his bag and said, "Here are the tickets for your little girl."
"Thank you."
Sun Chan was excited. She had been here for a month and this was not the first time she had received a tip, but this was the largest amount she had ever received.
Su He smiled, "What's your name?"
Sun Chan smiled adorably, "My name is Sun Chan."
Su He, "It's a nice voice, and you're pretty, go ahead and do your work. I'll call you if I need anything."
"Uh-huh."
Sun Chan nodded, took the teapot, poured some tea, and went out.
Although it is a one-on-one service, you don't have to stay in the private room all the time. You can come out and take a break.
Sun Chan took the money and came out of the private room excitedly to look for her master. Her master asked, "Why are you out here? What does the boss say about you?"
Sun Chan was excited, "Master, Master, the boss gave me a tip!"
Her teacher asked, "Did I give you a tip? How much?"
Sun Chan took out the money from her pocket and said, "She gave me a hundred!"
Her master is an old man. "Was it given by the male boss or the female boss?"
Sun Chan, "It's the female boss, the master boss. She spoke very softly and even asked me my name."
Her master understood and said, "No wonder, a male boss wouldn't give so much, only a female boss would."
Sun Chan was happy, "You gave me a hundred anyway."
Her teacher was also happy for her, "That's great! I'll praise you at the meeting tomorrow!"
"You made about 200 yuan in tips this month, right?"
Sun Chan nodded, "Almost there, one hundred and eighty."
On her first day as an apprentice, she was watching over the stage and doing service for a female customer. She was rewarded 50 yuan on the spot. Later, she was asked to pay the bill, and there were only 7 or 8 yuan left, which she was given.
What a good start! I earned more than 50 yuan in tips in one day.
Her master said, "Okay, I'll put it down for you. If you work hard this month and get more tips, you might get first place when your salary is calculated at the beginning of next month."
Yes, there is commission for tips. The waiter who gets the most tips in the store can get a commission of ten dollars, and the second and third place can get five dollars.
In addition, in terms of hygiene, the first place also gets a commission of ten yuan.
Working as a waiter in a hotel is definitely tiring, as is working in a restaurant, but with the monthly salary plus tips and commissions, you can make a lot of money every month.
People in Su He's private room were also talking about this. Zhao Guobing and Xu Hongyan were quite surprised. They knew what the waiter was talking about: reward or something.
They thought they could give him one or two dollars even if they had to hold on until they died, but they didn't expect that their brother-in-law would directly take a hundred dollars!
Su He smiled and said, "This is also a way to get employees to serve customers well. If customers are satisfied with your service, they may give you some money as a reward. We don't make any money. Even if they give us a dime, we still make money, right?"
"Besides, the people who come to this restaurant to eat are all wealthy people who don't care about that little bit of money. I remember there was a waiter who received a thousand dollars in tips in one month, right?" Su He asked Gu Jianhua.
Gu Jianhua, "Yes, she is now the manager of the second floor."
"one thousand?"
Zhao Guobing, Xu Hongyan and Zhao Nannan were shocked.
Su He, "Yes, one thousand. Of course, I didn't get it all at once. I got a thousand cumulatively over a month."
"Some customers are very generous and give tips of hundreds or even tens of dollars."
"Of course, brother and sister-in-law, don't think too much about it. Tipping here is a kind of recognition of the service in the private room. There is no other transaction. We, as the boss, don't allow it."
Zhao Guobing and Xu Hongyan said, "I understand."
"How much does the waiter here earn per month?"
Su He, "82 yuan a month, plus commissions and other things, I can make more than 90 or 100 yuan a month. If I'm lucky and customers give me tips, I can make more."
Xu Hongyan, "What is the job for?"
Su He, "As for the private room waiters, when guests come, they take orders, serve dishes, pour tea and wine, and when guests leave, they clean up the private room."
After hearing this, Xu Hongyan looked at her daughter and said, "Nannan, I want you to work here. I think the monthly salary is quite high."
There is definitely no tipping in other clothing stores.
Su He, "Indeed, among the several restaurants we have opened, the waiters at Gujia Restaurant are paid the highest because you can be sure that you will meet a generous customer who will give you a tip of several tens of dollars."
Zhao Nannan nodded, "Okay."
She also wants to do it in this hotel.
Su He smiled, "Nan Nan, work hard. When you are familiar with the job, your uncle and I will open a new store and ask you to be the manager."
Zhao Guobing and Xu Hongyan both liked to hear this. Xu Hongyan laughed and said, "What kind of store manager is she? She can't even manage herself."
Su He said, "Sister-in-law, people train themselves slowly. You can come to Beijing next year to have a look."
"Maybe I won't even recognize Nan Nan by then."
Zhao Nannan whispered, "It's my mom, don't look down on me."
Zhao Nannan got off the train, walked to the villa, and then to this store. What impressed her most was not her cousin's car or the big villa.
It's the state of the store staff.
Especially their private room waitress, she is so white, so beautiful, the work clothes she wears are nice, and the shoes on her feet are also nice.
It looks good everywhere!
Her hair was combed neatly, her face was lightly made up, and she looked fragrant.
Her face, arms and other parts were tanned by the sun, and her whole temperament was rustic.
Zhao Nannan wants to become a beautiful woman like the waitress in the private room.
Xu Hongyan smiled, "Okay, do it well here with your cousin and his wife."
We ordered a fruit plate at the end of the meal. The dishes were just as Su He said, we had almost finished them all, there was not much left, and there was no need to pack up.
We arrived at 12 o'clock and finished eating at 2 o'clock. The employees get off work at 2:30, so we can't delay their get off work time.
Gu Jianhua couldn't drive after drinking, so Su Helai drove instead.
Zhao Guobing and Xu Hongyan were surprised, "My sister-in-law can drive a car?"
Su He smiled, "He's going to take his driver's license test. He drinks sometimes, so I have to drive the car!"
Zhao Guobing raised his thumb and said, "Sister-in-law, you are a heroine!"
Xu Hongyan, "It's amazing!"
It really proves the saying that excellent people are excellent in all aspects.
Zhao Guobing and Xu Hongyan stayed in Beijing for three days. Since school had not started in Suzhou and He yet, they took the three of them around Beijing.
By the way, I bought some clothes, vanishing cream and other skin care products for my cousin Zhao Nannan.
When I left, I also gave the couple some dried seafood.
Su He's hospitality brought honor to Gu's mother and there was not a single fault to be found.
Indeed, Zhao Guobing and Xu Hongyan started praising their cousin's wife, Su He, as soon as they got on the train.
Before coming, they were also afraid that this rich cousin's wife would look down on their poor relatives from the country.
But not at all, they didn't feel anything wrong, and they didn't feel superior.
Xu Hongyan said, "This is what it means to be well-mannered. Anyone else would be like Zhao Mingchuan, who would show off to the heavens after making a few bucks and would not care about his elders at all."
"Look at Chang'an, how polite they are."
Zhao Mingchuan is Gu's mother's eldest brother, the youngest son of her eldest son, and of the same generation as Zhao Nannan.
Zhao Guobing: "Well, it's normal for a young man to show off after making some money."
Xu Hongyan said, "If he keeps doing this, he will be in trouble sooner or later."
After Zhao Guobing and Xu Hongyan left, Zhao Nannan went to work at Gu's restaurant. Before work, Su He dressed her up nicely, such as trimming her eyebrows and teaching her how to put on makeup.
The girl was pretty, with an oval face, big eyes and long eyelashes, but her skin was a little dark from the sun.
But it doesn’t matter, I worked in the store for a month and it was all wasted.
After all, I never go out to bask in the sun and stay in the house all day.
