Fang He held the garlic cloves, completely clueless about what to do with them. He usually only ate them and had never seen or peeled them before.
"Lu Xi, how do we peel these?" Fang He was completely baffled. He looked at Lu Xi, who had already peeled more than a dozen without stopping.
Lu Xi didn't know what to say. Even if she had never peeled a fruit before, she should have been able to tell just by watching him peel one, since he had such clear and bright eyes.
Fang He was a little embarrassed, afraid that Lu Xi would say he was too stupid, so he quickly explained that he hadn't done this kind of work in a long time and was rusty.
Lu Xi didn't believe it at all. This wasn't just unfamiliarity; it was clearly complete ignorance.
"If you scratch this side with your fingernail, the skin will come off. Just peel it off downwards."
Lu Xi explained and demonstrated at the same time, showing great patience.
Fang He remembered it and tried to peel one, just like him. It wasn't easy; some thin skin would remain on it, and he would have to use his fingernail to peel it off.
After peeling a clove of garlic, Fang He smelled a pungent odor. He sniffed his fingers, and the smell was even stronger and more unpleasant.
Seeing him frowning and looking disgusted by the smell of garlic, Lu Xi couldn't believe that someone like him could work as a waiter at the tavern. Sister Dou Dou wouldn't want him.
He was a kind person and couldn't bear to see Fang He rejected. Rather than wasting time waiting here, he decided to give up and leave.
"Fang He, don't be angry if I tell you the truth."
"It's alright, go ahead." Fang He sat up straight, ready to listen.
Lu Xi mustered her courage and said, "I don't think you're suited for this job. You should think carefully about what you like and what you're good at before making any plans."
After listening, Fang He wasn't angry. On the contrary, he seriously considered the question Lu Xi raised. He hadn't really thought about what he liked or what he was good at.
After thinking for a long time, Fang He finally made up his mind and said in a serious tone, "I like to lie flat and I'm good at sleeping."
At home, he spends his days eating and sleeping, enjoying it immensely. His family jokingly calls him a pig reincarnated.
His answer was somewhat earth-shattering and awe-inspiring.
Lu Xi was dumbfounded. He couldn't understand why someone who was practically useless would think of going out to find a job.
"Fang He, I advise you to go home. There's no suitable job for you outside, so don't waste your time." Lu Xi couldn't bear to discourage him, but she could only tell him the truth.
Fang He looked dejected. It seemed there was no chance again. Could it be that he really couldn't find a job that could support him?
"Lu Xi, I think you're a good person. Please help me. I'm really desperate." He doesn't know where else he can go if he leaves here.
"You don't have a home?" Lu Xi thought he was a pampered young master who had everything done for him, so how could he say he was desperate?
Fang He hesitated for a moment, then nodded heavily.
"Lu Xi, please, for the sake of my family abandoning me, talk to the boss and ask him to let me stay," Fang He pleaded pitifully.
He could tell that Lu Xi was an easy-going and soft-hearted person. Seeing his pitiful state, it would be hard for her not to feel sorry for him.
Sure enough, Lu Xi began to waver in her mind. Fang He was also a child who had been lost by his parents, just like her. They were both unfortunate people, and it was fate that she could help him.
"Please, Lu Xi, you are the best." He used a tenth of the way he used to coax his grandmother on Lu Xi.
Lu Xi's last line of defense collapsed instantly, leaving her with no ability to fight back.
"Alright, but I can only do my best. If Brother Anrong doesn't agree, don't blame me." He wasn't the boss and couldn't arbitrarily influence the boss's wishes.
Fang He's worry turned to joy, and he smiled, "I knew you were a great person. Don't worry, no matter what the outcome, I'm very grateful to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, An Rong returned from outside carrying large and small bags. He was somewhat surprised to see a strange man in the kitchen.
"And who is this?" An Rong asked, looking at Lu Xi.
Lu Xi quickly stepped forward to introduce Fang He's identity and explain his intentions.
Do you have experience?
"No."
What was your previous job?
"I have no job."
"Can you cook?"
"Won't?"
An Rong asked several questions in a row, but the answers were all negative. He suddenly realized that the person in front of him was a young man who knew nothing and was new to society.
"Then what are you doing here?" An Rong asked, puzzled.
Fang He regretted not lying earlier. Why didn't he say that he could do everything and had work experience?
Well, it seems he hasn't learned how to lie about these things.
"I want to find a job that can support me," Fang He said honestly.
An Rong didn't directly kick him out, but said kindly, "I'm sorry, this place might not be suitable for you."
Fang He lowered his head, waiting for Lu Xi to plead on his behalf.
“Brother Anrong, although he has no experience and doesn’t know how to do many things, these things are very simple. I can teach him. Why not give him a chance? If he doesn’t do well, it’s not too late to let him go.”
"Yes, boss, I will definitely study hard. Also, I don't ask for wages, just food and lodging."
An Rong glanced at Lu Xi and then at Fang He. It seemed that the two had already agreed to form a united front.
“Since Lu Xi is pleading for you, then you can have a three-day trial period. If it doesn’t work out, you’ll have to leave,” An Rong said.
Fang He was in a daze for a moment before he realized that he had been hired.
"Lu Xi, did I hear that right? The boss wants me to stay, right?" He was so excited that he almost hugged Lu Xi, but unfortunately he didn't manage to, as Lu Xi dodged him.
"You heard me right, it's a three-day trial period. Don't get too excited yet," Lu Xi quietly reminded her.
Fang He didn't care. A trial period was still a job offer. He would work hard and try to be hired after three days.
In the evening, the tavern was packed with customers, and there was even a queue outside. Fang He was outside greeting customers and giving out numbers to those who couldn't get a table.
"Hey buddy, this is number 56. Why did he go in first?"
Fang He realized he had made a mistake by letting people from number 66 in, and could only bow his head and apologize.
"He looks unfamiliar, so he must be new here. It's inevitable that he'll make mistakes." The guest at number 57 spoke up for him, also because Fang He was young and handsome, with features that were even more beautiful than many women.
"Brother, I won't say anything to you, but you can't do this again. Not everyone is as good-tempered as me," said the person at table number 56.
Fang He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the customer did not complain. If Brother An Rong had found out, he would have definitely lost points.
He also learned from Lu Xi that the boss had created a scoring sheet. Good performance would earn points, and bad performance would deduct points. After three days, a score of 95 or above would be considered excellent, and a score of 90 or above would be considered good.
You have to get a good score to stay.
