Before entering human society, Ji Xiaoyu basically ate some wild fruits and insects to wrap his belly like ordinary pheasants, and lived a very pure life. When he entered the city and tasted the various and ever-changing delicacies made by human beings, he realized how profound and infinitely longing knowledge "eating" was.
Although Old Li Tou is a bit stingy, his cooking skills are really good, but ordinary home-cooked dishes are not ordinary. Just because of this, Ji Xiaoyu is willing to work here for a while. Another reason is that the small restaurant has a simple environment and simple staff. It should not be like the hotel in Xingcheng.
Li Defa was a little worried, this boy looked quite thin, but he was a small rice bucket, and his appetite was as good as that of Qiangzi's big man. Originally, I thought I could save a little money on food, but it seems that I can't save it now.
After seeing off Old Li Tou, Ji Xiaoyu went to the second floor of the restaurant. There was a small attic and a small bathroom with a shower, which was equivalent to a staff dormitory. Qiangzi used to live here, so it was convenient to see the store. Zhang Qiaoyan and her boyfriend are renting a house outside and do not need a restaurant to provide accommodation.
The space in the small attic is a bit cramped, and the roof is also short. Ji Xiaoyu is nearly 1.8 meters tall, so he needs to lower his head a little to get in and out. The situation inside the house was even more disrespectful. Several empty beer cans were lying on the table, two smelly socks were thrown left and right on the ground, and the quilt on the bed was not folded, but was piled up in a mess. There was a strange smell in the air mixed with the smell of sweat and the fumes from the downstairs, which was sour and refreshing.
Ji Xiaoyu wrinkled his nose and pushed open the dusty windows to let in fresh air, picked up the smelly socks and threw them into the trash can, and then tore off the sheets and duvets that were crumpled like pickles and stuffed them under the bed. When he opened the crumbling wardrobe, he saw that there were some clothes piled up in a mess, but there was still a set of clean bedding that he had washed, so he took it out and put it on.
After being busy with sweating, Ji Xiaoyu closed the window, turned on the air conditioner, and went into the bathroom to take a shower with the rumbling sound of cooling.
After taking a cold shower, Ji Xiaoyu felt much refreshed. She lay on the bed with her bare bottom, took out the little white egg from her backpack, and carefully placed it under her belly.
The old monkey said that spooky eggs are firmer than ordinary eggs. Although the incubation time is relatively long, they do not need to be incubated uninterruptedly. Back then, Ji Dahua did not stay in the nest from morning to night, only six hours a day. Incubation time is almost there.
Maybe you have feelings when you put it in your pocket. Now how does Ji Xiaoyu feel that her little white egg is pleasing to the eye, look, how smooth, how delicate! Under the dim light, the egg shell exudes a gentle glow similar to jade, which is a hundred times more handsome than ordinary eggs!
When the chicks hatch in the future, they will definitely be as handsome and handsome as themselves!
Ji Xiaoyu yawned with satisfaction, touched the bare little white egg, put it back under his belly, and fell asleep after a while.
…
Just like that, Ji Xiaoyu became a waiter of "Old Li's Home Cooking Cuisine".
Said to be a waiter, in fact, is a errand. There are few staff in the restaurant, and he has to do everything except cooking. The workload is much larger than that of the Xingcheng Hotel, but when there is basically no rest, only the Sunday morning with the least traffic can take a half-day vacation every week.
With more take-out deliveries, Ji Xiaoyu gradually gained a bit of fame on Screw Street. It didn't take long for the merchants and white-collar workers in the office buildings who often ordered take-out to know that Lao Li's home cooking was very handsome and quick-witted. Young man, the business of the small restaurant suddenly went up a level. Whether it was coming to the restaurant to eat or calling for takeaway, it was at least 30% more than before.
Ji Xiaoyu wakes up early every day and is so busy that his feet don't touch the ground. If it wasn't for his high energy, his physique was much better than that of ordinary humans, and he would probably be exhausted within a few days.
Li Defa saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart. This is equivalent to spending a salary and hiring two laborers! Originally, he planned to expand the store in a year, but now it seems that the plan can be started in advance. In addition to being happy, Boss Li was rarely generous. Not only did he allow Ji Xiaoyu to order food alone every night, but he also lent him an old mobile phone that he had discarded so that the young man could devote himself to work in a fuller state of mind.
Unknowingly, more than two months passed. Ji Xiaoyu officially changed his salary in early September without any suspense, and his salary rose to 2,800. In addition to the salary of 1,800 yuan for the first month's probationary period, and the expenses for buying some necessities of life, he now has a total of 4,000 yuan on hand. Although it is not much, it finally gives him some confidence.
At 6:30 that night, Ji Xiaoyu received another call from Miss Zhou, Room 1208, Block A, Hongsheng Building, asking for four takeaways.
Since the first successful order, Ji Xiaoyu has received orders from Hongsheng employees every three weeks and five times. Sometimes it is Miss Zhou herself, sometimes it is her colleague. The service reviews are pretty good.
After Li Defa finished cooking, Ji Xiaoyu, wearing a little yellow chicken apron as usual, stepped on a bicycle and quickly came to Hongsheng Building.
After coming here many times, Ji Xiaoyu has figured out that there are three security guards on the ground floor of Building A taking turns on duty, and Liang Shaogang happens to be on duty today. Although Liang Shaogang has always had a paralyzed face and behaved rigidly, as long as he explained it clearly, he would never embarrass him. Unlike a man named Liu Weiren, who always pricks his nose and eyes at Ji Xiaoyu, and dawdled when registering for a visit. On two occasions, Ji Xiaoyu almost missed an appointment with a client. It reminded him of it. Stomach gas.
When he arrived at the registration office, Ji Xiaoyu called out "Brother Liang" as usual. After Liang Shaogang finished registration, he handed him a small bag of salt-baked cashew nuts. When he came out, he took it from the kitchen. It was fragrant and crunchy. It was his favorite snack. one.
Liang Shaogang glanced at it, without extending his hand, his tone was as flat as ever: "We have rules, we can't accept things from visitors."
Ji Xiaoyu saw that no one was paying attention, and threw the bag of cashew nuts directly into Liang Shaogang's desk drawer with a slit, and said with a smile, "I have a toothache today and I can't eat anymore, if Brother Liang doesn't accept it, throw it for me. Right."
As he spoke, he entered the elevator lobby as if the wind was blowing under his feet.
Liang Shaogang froze for a moment, looked left and right, then closed the drawer, the corners of his mouth moved, and a faint smile appeared.
It's almost seven o'clock, and the employees of Hongsheng Building get off work at six o'clock. Now people are almost gone. In the bright and spacious elevator lobby, there is only Ji Xiaoyu alone, leisurely humming the dance of the aunts in the nearby square. A song played every day: "You are my little apple, no matter how much I love you..."
With the sound of footsteps, a few more people entered the elevator lobby. They walked straight in behind Ji Xiaoyu and went to the special elevator.
Ji Xiaoyu has been here a lot and knows that the elevator can go directly to the top floor of the building. It is a special elevator for the upper management of Hongsheng, and ordinary people are not qualified to use it. At least he has delivered dozens of takeaways, and he has never had a chance to take it, and it is impossible for anyone who is qualified to take that elevator to order takeout from a small restaurant.
So he glanced at the special elevator with a little curiosity. Well, there were four or five people in the group, all dressed in suits and leather, and at first glance they were elites.
One of them stood out and stood out. He was in his early thirties. He wore a pair of spectacles, his face was warm and handsome, and the high-grade and crisp fabrics perfectly wrapped his wide shoulders, narrow waist, slender and straight body, and there was a kind of maturity unique to successful people in his gestures. Elegant charm.
Both are males, although the species are different, Ji Xiaoyu, who is in human form at this time, also thinks this man is very seductive.
The staff elevator he was waiting for was about to come down soon, Ji Xiaoyu admired it and turned his head.
Over there, a line of sight followed like a shadow, sharp and deep, with some inexplicable inexplicable meaning.
The elevator door opened, Ji Xiaoyu walked in, and pressed the 12th floor and the close button.
When the elevator door was about to close, someone stepped in quickly, without pressing any button, just standing beside Ji Xiaoyu, it was the elegant man in the iron gray suit.
Ji Xiaoyu almost bit her tongue when she was halfway through singing the sentence "Light up my life."
Then the elevator doors closed and the two people walked up slowly.
The narrow square space was very quiet, except for Ji Xiaoyu's out-of-tune singing abruptly.
"I never hate you, I like everything about you, and everything with you is fresh every day..."
No, why is this lyrics so embarrassing, don't sing it!
Ji Xiaoyu immediately shut up.
The man was more than half a head taller than Ji Xiaoyu, blocking part of the light source above the elevator, shrouding most of Ji Xiaoyu in the shadows, making him feel an invisible pressure.
It's really incomprehensible, this person has a special elevator and doesn't take it, what does it mean when he suddenly runs to squeeze the staff elevator with him
Ji Xiaoyu raised his head and glanced sideways, only to find that the man was also looking down at him with his head slightly lowered.
Those eyes with long and narrow tails were hidden under the halo-reflecting lenses, and the pupils were like two pools of still water, bottomless.
Ji Xiaoyu felt a sudden shock in his heart, and for a moment had the illusion that he was being stared at by a wolf.
Hey, that's not right, the young master didn't do anything wrong, he's a guilty conscience.
Besides, although this guy has a strong aura, he doesn't have the slightest bit of demonic energy. He is 100% ordinary human beings. The young master is a big monster with superior force. Who is afraid of who!
So he raised his chin and stared back reluctantly.
The man's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was a little surprised by Ji Xiaoyu's reaction.
In the strange and dull look at each other, there was a "ding" sound, and the 12th floor arrived. Ji Xiaoyu pulled the brim of the little yellow hat, took the takeaway basket and walked out first.
The man didn't follow, and the elevator door closed behind him and continued up.
Ji Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief and walked briskly towards Room 1208.
