Suburbs of Zhucheng.
In a mountain villa called "Shanye Farmhouse".
The hardworking aunts cleaned up the room and were finally able to take a break. They sat in groups of three or four on the stone piers in the yard, feeling like their backs were about to break.
"Ouch, ouch, I can't take it anymore!"
An old lady in the middle of the room hit her waist and said, "When I came here, I was told I was going to be a waitress, but I didn't tell you there would be so many people here!"
"That's right! I'm so tired. I feel like I'm stepping on Hot Wheels when I got off the plane!"
"You guys are fine, you guys just serve the dishes in your room, we're running around like crazy!"
"Didn't you say you were going to recruit people? Why haven't you recruited anyone yet? I can't stand it if you don't recruit someone..."
The employees are tired, and the boss is tired too!
For a farm stay owner like this, even if he doesn't cook himself, he still has no time to relax.
At this moment, in the hall, the simple and capable lady also patted her waist.
"Son, go tell them to give out red envelopes at the end of this month so that everyone can work harder. Before they recruit more people, just hold on..."
As he spoke, he glanced at the reservation list at the front desk - well, the table is full again tonight, so he might have to change tables.
She finally looked worried: I never thought that making money could be so worrying.
The mother is worried, and the son is worried too.
"Mom, you see I can't help much at home, otherwise I should go out and find a job."
The business at home is too tiring, whoever wants to do it can do it. Anyway, he doesn't want to do it, he would rather go out and be a social animal and work!
As a mother, I can’t bear to let go of such a good and strong laborer without having to pay him wages!
"Son, didn't you say you were in a bad mood after the breakup? Our home has such a beautiful view. You have to get busy. If you get busy, you won't think about it anymore. Please stay for a while..."
"No, no!"
This mother and son are Xin Jun and his mother.
Xin Jun has been staying in his hometown since he broke up with his girlfriend Wu Qianqian last month.
At the beginning, I was treated like an emperor. My mother took care of me every day and I could just go to the kitchen and ask for whatever I wanted to eat.
Not to mention helping to serve the food, I'm afraid I'd even tire him out just by holding a menu.
Now that he has been here for a month, let alone taking the menu, he can't wait to serve the dishes and cash the counter. He takes all the responsibility. His WeChat steps are close to 20,000 every day, but he is still in this villa. It can be seen that he has reached the bottom of the food chain.
You know, this is not a huge mountain resort covering thousands of acres, it's just an ordinary farm stay.
Nowadays, if a farm stay is not called "Villa" or "Garden", it seems not to be high-end enough.
There are at least eight or ten farmhouses like this in the suburbs, but this year they are the most popular. Why? It’s all for the gifts!
What are the gifts? Anyone who eats here and spends more than 200 yuan will receive a bowl of astragalus soup. The more you spend, the more you get, and you can stack them up.
Sometimes it is milk vetch and lean meat soup, sometimes it is milk vetch and tofu soup, and sometimes it is just milk vetch porridge.
Oh, this taste—
Anyway, everyone who has eaten it has praised it highly and wants to come back for the next meal.
There are many farmhouses around, and the competitiveness of each one is similar. Everyone entertains customers they know well. Now, the reputation of this gift has spread quietly, and it has surpassed others. Now everyone who comes here wants it.
The mother and son thought about the publicity power, but they didn’t fully anticipate it.
For example, Xin Jun felt that the 100 kilograms of Agastache that his mother asked for at the beginning was enough to get through the novelty.
Unexpectedly, when he served the dish to the guests, they were all amazed. His mother decisively placed an order for another 2,000 kilograms, which directly cleared out two of Song Tan's fields.
After receiving the two thousand kilograms of meat, the whole family was busy for several nights just blanching and freezing it, and they even brought a few large freezers for this purpose.
I originally thought that it would be able to hold out for a while, right
According to the current passenger flow...
Mother Xin was a little panicked: "Son, ask the boss if he has anything else to sell? Buy some to support yourself first!"
"If you can't buy 1,800 kilograms, 100 kilograms will do."
Xin Jun's face was numb: "No, no, no! Mom, I've told you so many times, the last time was when I was selling bamboo shoots, I only grabbed 20 kilograms and that was it."
After the family of three tasted the bamboo shoots once, they couldn't resist any more and sealed them directly in a jar with red oil.
Now it's gone.
Thinking of the inventory, Mother Xin felt heartbroken again: If she had known this would happen, she should not have been so restrained and directly bought all the other person's fields, so that the boss would not have to go to the vegetable market every day to sell.
Who could have thought of this
"But, Mom, the stuff is out of stock, so you might as well take a break and train the new people. It's been so busy lately, and I think the employees can't stand it anymore."
"It's okay," Xin's mother said with experience: "I packed big red envelopes for them and will give them out one by one at the end of the month."
But I couldn't help but ask again: "What else is this boss planting? When will it be available next?"
She has been running this farm-style farm dish business for more than ten years, and now she finally has the chance to become popular. No matter what, she can’t go without eating such good food!
She just complains about the tiring job of making money, but it would be difficult to ask her not to make money.
Xin Jun thought for a moment and said, "I remember the boss posted it in the group, and it seems that Xiaobaicai will be available in half a month."
He subconsciously took out his cell phone and looked at it, then his eyes fixed.
Then, he turned off the screen as if nothing had happened, and then said to Mother Xin:
"Mom, I don't think it's good for us to just sit here and wait for the goods to be shipped."
"How about this, I'll go to the boss's village to see if there's anything good, and we'll buy it back as soon as possible."
"If there is a chance, I will try to see if I can reach a deeper cooperation with this boss."
Mother Xin looked at her son suspiciously: "Are you really going to look for this boss? Isn't she Qianqian's old classmate? She won't have any objections to you if they meet?"
"Also, are you feeling tired at home and want to take this opportunity to run away?"
Then she said earnestly, "Son, since you are no longer in love with Qianqian, you will have to take over this villa. There is no need to settle down in another city, right? It would be great if you could help me!"
Xin Jun nodded without hesitation: "I have decided to settle down in the countryside."
As for which village it was, he didn't say for now.
On one side is money, on the other side is still money. Xin's mother quickly made a decision:
"Okay, son, go ahead. If there's anything good coming, book it right away and I'll give you the money right away."
The mother and son held hands and looked at each other, reluctantly bidding farewell.
As a mother, she was reluctant to part with her son who could do the work of three people for free. Xin Jun tried to control her anxiety and kept checking her phone as soon as she got in the car:
I am willing to be a tutor for children, but why hasn’t the boss responded yet
Is it okay
Could someone have gotten there first
Anyway, he didn't want to stay at home and work as an unpaid waiter.
