Chapter 56 Eating and Talking



After putting the sign on the table, a waiter soon came over to help them adjust the grill.

After finishing, he taught Qin Xiaoxia how to use the electronic grill, then tore the sign paper in two, said "Enjoy your meal" and left.

"How polite! Big stores are formal."

Qin Xiaoxia looked at the waiters in neat uniforms, and then at the exquisitely decorated store.

Although it was noon, this barbecue buffet had apparently gained good ratings recently, so there were quite a few people dining there, with 9 out of ten seats occupied.

After sighing, he called Gou Junbao to tell him his seat, and the two of them walked towards the food area with a grin.

These two guys didn't deliver the food to the location in large quantities all at once like they were moving, they just delivered it at a very high frequency...

The stew pots and ovens on the barbecue are always kept at the highest fire, and ingredients are constantly added.

After waiting for less than twenty minutes, Gou Junbao brought a young man into Han Fengyuan, reported Qin Xiaoxia's name and table number to the counter, and the other party let them in.

Nanfeng originally thought that someone was going to treat him to a big dinner, but it turned out to be just Korean barbecue. It seemed that he was not a big boss.

On table No. 66, there was a large pile of empty food plates. Qin Xiaoxia was fine, but Doudou looked like he was buried in there.

The guests at the surrounding tables usually have a lot of empty plates, so it doesn't seem too abrupt now.

Gou Junbao came up and introduced himself to Qin Xiaoxia.

"Xiaoxia, Doudou, this is my distant cousin Nanfeng. He has been doing crafts since college. He knows a little about gold forging and ceramics. He just told me that he also knows about clay sculpture. He has been doing it for about seven or eight years."

The two people being introduced smiled at Nanfeng, not caring at all about the food residue left in their teeth.

In their opinion, is it necessary to be polite to Gou Junbao's cousin?

So he didn't even stand up, he was either dipping the food in the sauce or adding more ingredients.

This was not the first time Gou Junbao had seen the way these two people ate, so he could only selectively ignore it.

"Hey, Nanfeng, this is Qin Xiaoxia, and this is Doudou. By the way, their relationship is similar to ours, they are also cousins. This time, Xiaoxia wants to find someone to make a statue for him."

But his cousin did not respond to him, which made Gou Junbao feel that he had been chatting alone since the beginning.

Although Nanfeng did not fail to hear what his brother said, Qin Xiaoxia and Doudou are now very eye-catching.

A young man with gray hair and a child with a bulge on his forehead and two Band-Aids on it.

It feels like there is no need to chew the roasted beef and mutton when you put it in your mouth, especially when a child picks up the meatballs from the stew pot and puts them directly into his mouth.

'Isn't this hot?'

"Why are you standing there? Come down and eat!"

Qin Xiaoxia suddenly shouted at the two of them, scaring Nanfeng.

"Oh, yes, Nanfeng, sit down and eat..."

Watching the two brothers eating was quite a terrifying thing. Gou Junbao was stunned for a moment.

In just over ten minutes, the number of empty plates on this table increased by one third compared to before, which had opened up a significant gap with the surrounding tables.

"Mr. Qin, I didn't hear what you just said clearly?"

Nanfeng thought he was hallucinating and asked again subconsciously.

Qin Xiaoxia touched the top with a tissue and gulped down two big gulps of juice. It was clearly just two sips, but he drank most of a 300-400 ml cup.

"I mean, how many people are there in your so-called team? Can you work in three shifts? Are you brave enough?"

Nanfeng looked at Qin Xiaoxia with a strange look.

"Three shifts, as long as the commission is enough, this can be negotiated... What do you mean by bold or not? Mr. Qin, uh, are you worried that we dare not work overtime at night?"

Doudou stuffed two pieces of cake into his mouth, looked up and said this.

"No, what my cousin meant is, can you not be scared to death while making the statue?"

Qin Xiaoxia quickly added.

"Hahaha, I'm just kidding. The main thing is that I'm planning to let you sculpt live in an old house. People in the surrounding villages always say that the house is haunted."

"But! This house is definitely not haunted. I've played there since I was a kid, and your cousin can testify to that."

Gou Junbao, who was dealing with a prawn, uttered "hmm" without even raising his head.

When he met Qin Xiaoxia, Old Man Qin had not passed away yet, so he knew a little about the old house. At least it couldn't be a haunted house.

Nanfeng nodded doubtfully. He was not an atheist, but he thought his cousin would not cheat him.

At a table not far away, a customer was arguing with the waiter.

"You only serve a small amount of seafood each time. Are you so stingy after just opening? I brought my friends here because I heard that your place is good, but the shrimps are all gone..."

"I'm sorry, sir. We will replenish the food according to its consumption. It may not be in time now. You are in a free period. Please wait a moment before getting it."

The waiter's answer was polite and appropriate, and the waiter in charge of delivery immediately took out some seafood from the food storage in the food freezer in the distance to replenish it.

"Look, we are now restocking the seafood ingredients. You can go get them first. Enjoy your meal!"

Qin Xiaoxia was chatting at the table when he saw that the seafood ingredients had been replenished.

"Swish, swish! Doudou, move!"

Doudou gave him an "understanding" look, then crawled out from under the table and ran towards the seafood freezer.

"I want scallop beans~"

Gou Junbao shouted quickly.

Nanfeng watched Doudou go and get several plates of seafood, and then watched Qin Xiaoxia immediately take over and bring back several plates of shrimps and shellfish. Then he just saw them put the food on the barbecue grill or throw it into the stew pot, and before they had rested for even a minute, Doudou went to get it again.

In Qin Xiaoxia's words, if you don't get more now, it will be gone soon.

"Uh, Mr. Qin, after talking for so long, it's time to talk about the price~"

After all, he is not a pure businessman, and Nanfeng, who considers himself an artist, was a little embarrassed to speak up. But since Qin Xiaoxia never mentioned money from beginning to end, he couldn't help it.

"Okay! Do you want to calculate it by daily wages or hourly wages?"

Qin Xiaoxia's words stunned Nanfeng again. He didn't know how many times this had happened.

What is daily wage and hourly wage?

Shouldn’t the money be calculated based on the work?

"Well... Mr. Qin, for sculptures, we usually charge according to the size and difficulty..."

Before he could finish his words, Qin Xiaoxia stopped him with a hand.

"Nan, wait a minute. I want to ask you a few questions."

"How famous is your team? Is the level high?"

This question is not easy to answer.

"As for fame... it will be known sooner or later, but the level should be, yes, still be acceptable!"

Nanfeng's face felt a little hot.

"oh."

Qin Xiaoxia nodded.

"Then I will provide the site for the sculpture, I will provide the materials for the sculpture, I will provide your accommodation during the period, and I will also provide your meals during the period. Is that what we just discussed?"

"Yes, yes."

"Then you just provide the technology, which is equivalent to a construction team, and just charge an installation fee."

Nanfeng felt a little hot and suddenly realized something.

"Mr. Qin, you can't say that. Those are all your requests... We can also provide the materials and work on our own site..."

"The problem is that I don't need it now, and you can't provide the materials I need. How can I feel at ease if I'm not here to watch over you? If it weren't for Brother Gou's introduction, I would definitely find a famous team."

Qin Xiaoxia shut up Nanfeng with just one sentence.

"So, let's talk about the daily wage first. If the results satisfy me, I'll give you a bonus. Don't worry, I don't ask for much."

Listening to Qin Xiaoxia chattering away, Nanfeng could only occasionally interject a word.

Gou Junbao really wanted to help his cousin. It was obvious that their "negotiation levels" were not on the same level. However, he felt that he saw Qin Xiaoxia every day, and felt closer to him than to this cousin whom he only saw twice a year, so he was too embarrassed to speak up.

While several people were talking about business, the waiter and operator of Han Fengyuan finally began to notice No. 66.

The cart for clearing the empty plates passed by that table several times, and the table was cleared several times, but there were always so many plates every time.

The lobby manager pretended to pass by the table casually at least three times, looking for an opportunity to remind people that excessive waste would result in a fine.

But take a quick look and you'll see that the food here is cleaner than any other table...
