Hongyu was worried that Lu Yao would know about her eye disease and would not accept her, so she tried her best to deny it.
Lu Yao had met Hongyu several times before and had noticed that she had difficulty seeing. Considering the reason why she concealed her eye problem, he did not ask her directly during the interview and only brought it up again after she was hired.
But Hongyu seemed to have some serious concerns and was unwilling to be honest.
Based on past experience, the appearance of Ruby is probably related to the mission, and may point to the final mission.
This was an important reason why Lu Yao decided to hire her.
Just having eye problems will be very inconvenient in daily work.
Lu Yao did not continue to press the issue, but instead considered finding a time to conduct a collective physical examination for the employees of several stores.
She kept this in mind and planned to contact Bai Jing later.
After breakfast, the shop assistants came out of the lounge and the hall was full of waiting customers.
The broadcast of "Meeting You Again in Falling Flowers" received even more enthusiastic response than the original "The World's Number One".
Hongyu was arranged to temporarily follow Wen Jian to learn how to check tickets and guide guests.
This job is not complicated, just be careful and patient.
Fu Chi moved the camera out of the lounge and placed several cameras in various areas of the cinema, two of which faced the street to capture the street scene and passers-by.
When it's daybreak, the assistant will bring clean clothes and a few new machines.
He could not truly step into the world of the Dawu Dynasty like Lu Yao did, and the camera was his eyes.
The first movie started, guests entered the screening room, and half of the people in the lobby were gone.
Nowadays, except for the premieres of new movies, weekday movie tickets no longer come with a free popcorn and cola combo.
Thanks to a few popcorn advertisements and a unique recipe that cannot be replicated, popcorn and cola have become a part of the movie culture in the hearts of the people of the Dawu Dynasty, and most guests who come to watch movies will buy their own set meals.
During the peak period, Gou Zi was too busy to handle the whole process by himself, so Lu Yao helped to receive guests and Gou Zi was responsible for collecting money and settling bills.
In addition to learning to read with Wen Jian, he has also recently been learning arithmetic and accounting with Lu Yao.
You must be able to recognize and write Arabic numerals from one to one hundred, memorize and use the multiplication table, and then collect money and keep accounts, which are all part of the learning content.
At first, the dog found it difficult to learn, but he was very hardworking. After all, he was not too old, so he got used to it and accepted things quickly.
Nowadays, when he is not busy, he receives guests alone.
When the rush hour is over, Gouzi will replenish the popcorn, add Coke to the drink machine, and then clean up the counter that was made dirty by the hustle and bustle.
Lu Yao watched from the side. He was already very skilled. He turned back to the lounge and brought out a new machine.
Gouzi immediately threw away the rag, took the machine from Lu Yao, and carefully placed it on the table, "Boss, what is this?"
Lu Yao: "The screening room and the films are being upgraded, so the canteen must keep up with the pace. This is a sausage roasting machine. I'll teach you how to operate it. Go and take out the cardboard box on the table in the lounge."
Coke and popcorn have already been recognized, and the next snacks to be promoted are hot dogs and orange juice.
The cardboard box that Gouzi brought out contained five bags of grilled sausages, clean bamboo skewers, chili powder, stainless steel clips, and ingredients for making orange juice.
Lu Yao first taught Gouzi how to use the sausage roasting machine. With his experience in using popcorn machines and beverage machines, he quickly mastered how to use the new machine.
The grilled sausages were placed one by one between the slowly rotating cylinders. They looked dry, hard and white, and did not look very tasty.
A quarter of an hour later, the dry and hard surface of the grilled sausage gradually swelled, the casing became shiny with oil, and the smell of meat wafted out.
Lu Yao: "I like the roasted hot dogs best, with bamboo sticks inserted, without any chili powder, and they are delicious when eaten dry."
The dog stared at the sausages rotating on the machine and swallowed his saliva secretly, "Boss, how do you know that the hot... hot dogs are blooming?"
Lu Yao: "This is simple. The casing bursts open in the middle, revealing the pink and shiny meat. It's like blooming."
The dog nodded, still staring at the hot dog, afraid to miss it blooming.
Lu Yao has already set the prices: a hot dog is two cents, and orange juice and Coke are the same, one cent a cup.
After teaching the dog, she sat behind the counter and waited for her first hot dog.
The dog seemed a little nervous, and moved cautiously, not as alert as usual.
Lu Yao: "Gouzi, have you ever thought about taking a formal name? Do you still remember your last name?"
Gouzi was stunned, and paused for a moment, "My name?"
Lu Yao has been thinking about this for some time, and Gou Zi has settled down in the cinema.
As long as he doesn't aim too high and works steadily in the cinema for a few years, there is no possibility that he will become a beggar again in the future.
"Just like formal names like Zhu Zhu and Wen Jian, with a name and a surname. You are still young now, and when you grow up, even if you don't want to continue staying in the cinema, you will have a foundation for yourself. I think it's better to give you a formal name." Lu Yao explained.
Gouzi suddenly became a little excited, his face flushed, and he said anxiously: "Boss, I don't want to leave the cinema, please don't chase me away."
Lu Yao raised his hand: "… That's not what I meant, it's just a hypothesis, don't worry."
Gouzi breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head again: "Shopkeeper, I don't know my last name. My grandfather's last name is Gao, and everyone who knows him calls him Old Man Gao. I want to take my grandfather's last name."
The old man Gao mentioned by Gou Zi is an old beggar who is blind in one eye and has a broken leg. However, he has been entrenched in Liangjing for many years and has some secret tricks of his own. In the past, he was the one who took care of Gou Zi and those beggars.
Now Gou Zi works in a movie theater and the mermaid pearl given by Lu Yao has been exchanged for money. Old Gao rents a shabby house with the group of beggars and usually makes things like grasshoppers, crickets, and ponies to sell.
Life was still poor and difficult, but it was much better than before when we had no food to eat and no place to stay.
Lu Yao nodded: "Well, go back and ask grandpa what name to give it."
Gouzi has always been called Gouzi or Brother Gouzi. When he begs on the street, passers-by look at him as if he were a stray dog.
Thinking about it now, he is different now.
Gou Zi couldn't help but feel excited. What the young shopkeeper said was right. It was indeed time to change the name.
.
The upgrade and expansion of the cinema's screening room has actually been completed.
The expansion of seven screening rooms at one time was somewhat eye-catching, so Lu Yao revised the original plan and tentatively decided to open a new screening room every two days, while the private screening area on the rest area side was scheduled to open after seven days.
Screening Hall No. 3 was completed and put into use immediately, and the three films playing in the cinema finally no longer had to compete with each other.
However, the third show of "The Little Chef of Shengjing" is scheduled to premiere tomorrow, and Screening Hall No. 4 will open the day after tomorrow. The cinema will be very busy in the next week.
Even after hiring Hongyu, there were still not enough store clerks.
Lu Yao stood at the door and murmured in a low voice: "He came especially late this time."
The system popped up: [Who are you talking about? ]
Lu Yao looked at the sky and guessed that Ji Zhixin had arrived at the furry shop.
She hadn't given him the information about the new video yet, so she turned back to the lobby, ready to go to the furry shop, and ignored the system.
All aggrieved and depressed: […]
.
Ji Zhixin was handling the daily affairs of the furry shop in the fishing room. He was busy when Lu Yao came over.
Lu Yao handed him the information and left.
She came out of the furry shop, contacted Bai Jing, and agreed to have a physical examination three days later. After walking a few steps, she felt hungry again. She remembered that she had not eaten anything in the cinema in the morning, so she simply went to the snack bar to eat something.
The snack bar had just opened and was as busy as usual.
The clerk was a little surprised to see her come so early today.
When he heard that the owner had not had breakfast yet, he immediately brought the food.
Lu Yao drank tofu pudding, ate Monster meat pie, and listened to Xiao Qie talk.
Xiao Qie excitedly told her that a new film and television base was being built next to the 99th floor.
Every day, hundreds of volunteers are there to mold houses, brick walls, and various interior furniture. The residents of Dreamland want to make their own movies.
Lu Yao stood at the railing on the ninety-ninth floor and looked down, and was startled.
The thick fog dissipated, and a large area below showed antique buildings still under construction. Even from a distance, one could feel the full details. No wonder so many people were involved in the creation.
Lu Yao asked: "Are you going to shoot a costume drama?"
Xiao Qie nodded: "I heard that it was inspired by "The World's Number One" and "The Little Chef of Shengjing", and they want to build an imperial city down there."
Lu Yao: "... You are indeed worthy of me."
It’s good to have illusions.
Xiao Qie's eyes sparkled. "Owner, when we're done filming, you can show it in the cinema. The guard chief said he won't charge any money."
The idea of making a movie was not new to people in the past few years, and some people tried it, but they didn't do it in the end.
They are already dead, and have relatively few desires and emotions.
Some things just make you tired while doing them, and many people give up halfway.
Later, theme park games emerged, and real experiences were more attractive than false fantasies.
The emergence of snack bars changed that situation.
The normal flow of movies once again stimulates the residents of Dreamland.
They started wanting their own movies.
After staying in the snack bar for more than an hour, Lu Yao came out and met Xiao Ji, telling him about the physical examination in three days.
I don’t know how many doctors Bai Jing will arrange to come over, and Xiao Ji has been in contact with the Bai family.
Back at the cinema, Lu Yao's heart skipped a beat. He looked around, stopped at the rest area, and suddenly quickened his pace.
The man was wearing black clothes and had white hair, with his back to the door.
Even without seeing his face, she already had a guess in her mind.
