"Wow, you really gave it to me! The boss is so generous! Please tell the boss thank you for me." The deliveryman accepted the box of fruit with some surprise and left with a smile.
The receptionist went back behind the counter and sent a message to Liang Dani via QQ.
[Da Ni, the fruit from Hezibao has arrived!]
Okay, I'm coming right now. Thanks for signing for it, Sister Lin!
After replying to the message, Liang Dani stood up from her workstation and walked towards the stairs.
Previously, Liang Dani worked as a cashier and waitress at Xu's Fast Food Restaurant. Now that the shops opposite the Zijing Garden construction site are going to be demolished, after she returned, Xu An talked to this "old employee" about future development plans and arranged for her to try out an administrative position first.
If it works out, that would be great. If not, we can gradually change her position and see which one is most suitable for her to shine. After all, Liang Dani is Xu An's first employee, and Xu An wants her to have a better future.
As a result, Liang Dani became a member of the administrative staff at Xu's Catering, and is currently mainly responsible for arranging afternoon tea, receiving express deliveries, and communication, among other things.
Of the 97 boxes of fruit, 89 were employee benefits, one was given to the deliveryman, and the remaining seven were other fruits sent by Xu Heping. Xu An had instructed Liang Dani to process the fruit and make it into an afternoon tea fruit platter after it arrived.
After Liang Dani came downstairs, she organized the packages and moved the seven boxes of loose fruit to the kitchen. Aunt He and others who hadn't finished get off work yet also came over to help with the task.
Crisp persimmons, one bite and they're quite sweet. Cut them into chunks and arrange them on a plate. Kiwis are easier to eat if you scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Jujubes, just wash them. Grapefruit, hawthorn, and ginseng fruit.
As one type of fruit after another was taken out of the box, the three large stainless steel trays on the table were gradually filled with colorful fruits, creating a beautiful and vibrant display.
Opening the last box, Liang Dani reached inside and took out hard, cold, round tea leaves.
My hand reached to the side and touched a few oval-shaped fruits with pointed tips. I took them out and looked at them. Lemons!
Aunt He was waiting for Liang Dani to hand her the fruit, but after waiting for a long time without any movement, she hurriedly asked, "Dani, what's wrong? Why are you squatting there? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No." Liang Dani stood up and turned to show the tea leaves and lemons to Aunt He, saying with a troubled expression, "The tea leaves can be used to make tea, but what should we do with the lemons? Make lemon water for everyone like we do with the tea leaves?"
"Lemonade is tasteless. How about we ask Manager Lu if there's any rock sugar in the warehouse? I can make some lemon honey and put it in the office on the second floor. Anyone who's interested can dig some out and make their own lemonade," Aunt He suggested after a moment's thought.
Just as Liang Dani thought the idea was feasible and was about to nod in agreement, Aunt Fang, one of Aunt He's sisters, came over, glanced at it, and smiled, "We have lemons and tea, we can make lemon tea!"
"Lemon tea, what kind of way is this?" Liang Dani and Aunt He asked in unison.
"It's just lemon and tea steeped together or something, it tastes sweet and quite delicious." Seeing the two people's disbelieving expressions, Aunt Fang stubbornly said, "Don't you believe me? I'll show you!"
After saying that, Aunt Fang took the lemon and tea leaves from Liang Dani's hand, and busily fiddled with them for a long time, muttering to herself, and made a cup of golden, clear lemon tea with a refreshing aroma of lemon and tea.
"You actually managed to make it! Let me try it and see how it tastes!" Aunt He said, reaching for the lemon tea with her right hand.
"No, no, I want to try it first!"
Aunt Fang withdrew her hand, hurriedly took out a bowl, poured out about half a bowl, and took a big gulp. The next second, Aunt Fang appeared by the sink, turned on the tap, and rinsed her mouth repeatedly.
Glug-glug-glug-glug-glug-glug
Seeing this, Aunt He picked up her cup, took a small sip, and then said with disdain, "I told you we couldn't eat them together! Ugh, it's so sour and astringent, what a waste of something that looks so good! Did you just come up with this recipe yourself?"
"Don't you dare slander me with baseless accusations!" Aunt Fang retorted, then said, half explaining and half puzzled, "Yesterday, my grandson brought me a lemon tea that tasted exactly the same as the one I made, but why does it taste so different?"
"Then it must be that your technique is wrong, or your grandson remembered it wrong."
"Impossible, I remember it perfectly clearly."
Seeing that Aunt He and Aunt Fang were about to start arguing, Liang Dani quickly took out her phone, opened her browser, and searched for "lemon tea." In a short while, she found three or five illustrated explanations and two video tutorials on how to make lemon tea.
"Aunt He, Aunt Fang, stop arguing!" After looking at the illustrated instructions, Liang Dani quickly raised her phone and called out to the two women, "Aunt Fang's method is correct, and the steps are correct, but she's missing a seasoning. She needs to add syrup! I've already placed the order, and it will arrive the day after tomorrow!"
Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Half an hour before the Xu's Fast Food kitchen staff closed for the day, at 2 p.m., the deliveryman delivered the syrup.
I managed to stop their argument that day, but in the past two days, they seem to have become addicted to bickering. One second they're having a good chat, and the next they're choking on each other over 'lemon tea'.
Now that the syrup has arrived, the two of them can't wait to try it.
To ensure fairness and impartiality, the person who carried out the operation this time was not Aunt He or Aunt Fang, but the middleman Liang Dani!
Boil water to make tea, let it cool, slice lemon, mash it to extract the juice, add it to the tea, add syrup, and stir well.
