Chapter 447 A Minor Delivery Incident
The morning breeze blows gently, turning the earth green.
Xinglong Restaurant received several delivery orders as soon as it opened.
After a period of adjustment, people seem to have accepted the existence of food delivery.
Even though the quality of food delivered is not as good as that in the restaurant, many people still choose delivery services.
Liu Ji took the order form into the kitchen, handed it to Lei Zi, and said, "This was just ordered today. The customer requested that it be delivered before noon. After breakfast, everyone will get busy."
"Okay!" Lei Zi took the order, didn't even look at it, and handed it to the side.
It's not that he can't read, but he gets a headache just looking at neat characters, so he gives the orders to Panda to read while he's in charge of cooking.
“Lei Zi, if Panda takes a break, you’ll have to take over what he’s doing. It would be better if you learned how to read the orders,” Liu Ji reminded him.
"I know," Lei Zi replied dismissively, then turned and walked to the stove to begin his work.
Liu Ji sighed, turned around, and went back to the front hall.
Xinglong Restaurant actually has some differences from other restaurants.
For example, if the restaurant closes early, the staff will gather together to discuss recent problems and what suggestions they have for the restaurant's current situation.
There is also training provided for restaurant staff.
Some of these were about receiving guests, while others involved the accountant Liu Ji leading everyone in reading and writing.
Regardless of how many characters one knows, one must be able to recognize all the characters that can be seen in a restaurant.
Otherwise, if customers point to the menu and you still don't know what they've ordered, it will affect the restaurant's business.
Wan Qiqi even discussed with Zhu Chengye that the restaurant staff could have three days off each month, and their wages would be deducted for these three days. However, if they wanted to take more days off, their monthly wages would be deducted according to the number of days they took off.
This is much better than other restaurants where you have to work non-stop to get paid monthly.
Furthermore, if you don't want to take a day off, you can be paid on a daily basis; the less you take a day off, the more you will be paid.
Although there are monthly performance reviews, there are also benefits.
Each month, outstanding performers will be selected and rewarded as encouragement, inspiring others to strive for excellence.
Xinglong Restaurant is different from other restaurants in every way.
Therefore, when people learned that Sixi was a woman, some were reluctant to work with her, but after considering the treatment at the restaurant, they still chose to persevere.
Even with two managers and several supervisors, they couldn't do anything to drive Sixi away.
They all knew very well that driving away Sixi would not be easy, and it wouldn't be worth it to lose their jobs before even getting rid of him.
As always, Sixi and Tieniu walked to the counter, greeted Liu Ji with smiles, and the other errand runners followed behind them, waiting to be assigned their tasks for the day.
Two people are assigned to collect the food trays each day, while others are responsible for delivering the food.
Although Wan Qiqi did not personally appoint Sixi as the leader of the delivery team, everyone recognized her management skills.
After what happened last time, Tie Niu had a positive view of Sixi's abilities and had no objections.
Si Xi glanced at the six people standing in front of him and said, "Today, Feng Qing is helping Xiao Ding collect meals and continue to familiarize himself with the delivery route. Manager Wan said that we need to know all the alleys in the town, deliver the meals to the customers as quickly as possible, and ensure that the delivered meals are intact."
"Okay!" the six answered in unison.
"Also, other restaurants have recently started to follow our lead in delivering food, so you might run into them on the road. Please be careful and avoid any conflicts with them. Delivering food is the most important thing."
Although Si Xi is young, he speaks clearly and convincingly, without any ambiguity.
Wan Qiqi entered at that moment and continued, "We don't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of trouble either. If you encounter any problems while delivering food, just let me know, and I'll help you handle it."
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone looked over and exclaimed, "Greetings, Manager Wan!"
Wan Qiqi nodded, glanced at Tie Niu and Sixi, and told the others to keep busy.
As she spoke, she looked at Tie Niu and asked, "How did Feng Qing perform?"
"He's alright, but he doesn't seem to know the town well. I'll have Xiao Ding show him around today," Tie Niu replied truthfully.
He really is a jerk!
Wan Qiqi knew that the person Feng Gan had sent in must be a fake.
They even claimed to be familiar with the town.
Familiar my foot! I've been carrying it for days!
She sighed inwardly, wondering why she had made a deal with this person. Wouldn't it have been better to work alone?
Although Wan Qiqi was inwardly complaining, she remained calm on the surface and said, "Alright, you can arrange it as you see fit."
After she finished speaking, she left and went to the kitchen.
Sixi and Tieniu exchanged a glance, shrugged, and threw themselves into their work.
Before long, the delivery order was ready, and the delivery person, carrying the food container, began their busy day.
Thanks to A-Jia and Xiao-Ding, the delivery routes have been shortened considerably, avoiding many unnecessary journeys.
Sixi and Tieniu took on a large order, and since one person wasn't enough, the two of them worked together.
They carried the food boxes out of the restaurant and headed into the alley.
After turning a few corners and darting into the main street, they arrived at the home of Master Qian, to whom they were to deliver the meal that day.
Just as they were about to leave the alley, a person suddenly darted out from in front of them.
Tie Niu reacted quickly and pulled Si Xi back, saving her from being bumped into by others.
However, the person who suddenly rushed out fell to the ground with a thud. The food box in his hand fell to the ground with a "bang," and the sound of porcelain breaking came from inside.
"Ouch, that hurts so much!" The boy frowned, rubbed his bottom, glanced in the direction of Tie Niu and Si Xi, and seeing that they were about to leave, quickly said, "Who are you! You hit someone and then left!"
Then, he glanced at the food boxes in the two men's hands and said, "So you're waiters from Xinglong Restaurant! You bumped into someone and didn't even apologize, just walked away. Is this the style of Xinglong Restaurant?"
