Chapter 58 Dinner
The living room is too small to fit the round table top, so all six dishes and one soup are stacked on top of the square table.

Although it seemed so crowded, there was still some space left for the tableware and wine glasses.

Sweet and sour pork ribs, braised pork trotters, fried bacon with chili, beer duck, steamed pork skin, garlic chrysanthemum, tofu fish in sour soup, all are big bowls, very rich.

Oh, yes, there is also a bowl of fried peanuts!This is a side dish and cannot be counted.

Everyone started their hands one after another, and first served each child with food and vegetables.

Although the Miao family does not allow their children to sit at the table for a formal meal, they can eat the food first.

Ma Caiyun carried the food, took them to the room, and brought a large bottle of drink by the way.

It was almost seven o'clock in the evening, and Long Lanxiang didn't have time to eat, so she ran out hurriedly with her bag on her back, and rushed to the Chengbei Station to pick up the group.

Long Xiugui sat on the single sofa, Li Lifeng and Long Lanhua sat on the double sofa, and Lu Tu and Long Wenwu sat on each side.

Lu Tu poured everyone a glass of wine, but he didn't drink it himself, and he was going to pick up the group later, for fear of having a bad effect on drinking.

"How can you do it if you don't drink?" Seeing this, Li Lifeng picked up the bottle and poured it for him. "If the host doesn't drink, how do you let the guests drink? Drink less, just one glass, and it won't delay work." .”

Lu Tu's approach to work is very principled, so naturally he will not compromise easily.

He hurriedly clutched his cup and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, you guys drink first. I'll have a good drink with you when I come back from picking up the group, okay?"

Li Lifeng stared and said: "When will you come back from the group? No, you have to drink it. Is it reasonable to not drink a glass of wine when you are the master?"

Lu Tu still insisted, shook his head and said, "Brother-in-law, I really can't drink. Why don't I ask Xia Lanxiang to have another drink with you before Xia Lanxiang comes back, okay?"

Long Xiugui picked up the chopsticks and dipped the wine into the wine glass and dotted it on the ground three times in a row. He put down the chopsticks, waved his hands impatiently and said, "If Xiao Lu can't drink it, don't drink it! You are not an outsider, there is no distinction between host and guest. There are so many people drinking here, are you afraid that you will not have a companion?"

The Miao family has never liked to persuade people to drink, they can drink as much as they want, and if they don’t want to drink, they can just save it so that other people who want to drink can drink more.

The father-in-law had spoken, so Li Lifeng had no choice but to give up, muttered a few words, then raised his wine glass and proposed that the dinner be officially started.

Ma Caiyun hugged Long Junyi, led the children out with cups, and the family toasted together to celebrate the party.

After the children clinked glasses, they ran back to the room laughing and laughing.

Long Wenwu played "Mr. Zombie" to them on the computer just now, and they screamed in fright, but they still refused to miss any wonderful scenes, and they were all fascinated by it.

Ma Caiyun toasted Lu Tu with a glass of drink, and said, "Thank you brother-in-law for finding me a good job. I like it very much. Here's a toast!"

Lu Tu poured himself a glass of boiled water, and said with a smile, "I didn't drink today, and replaced the bar with tea. As long as you like it, the prospect of wechat business is good. It hasn't reached its peak yet. Keep going, and there will definitely be one." Harvested!"

Ma Caiyun nodded and said, "Well, thank you brother-in-law, I will!"

After speaking, she drank it down.

Seeing this, Lu Tu had no choice but to accompany her to drink up the glass of water.

Li Lifeng waited for Ma Caiyun to enter the room, and asked curiously, "Lu Tu, what job did you introduce to Caiyun?"

Lu Tu told them about the group with Xiong Ping, "To put it simply, Weishang uses WeChat Moments to sell facial masks. You can introduce friends to do it together, and you can get a higher commission and rebate."

Li Lifeng said disdainfully: "Isn't this almost like doing pyramid schemes? Who would be a serious person to do this kind of business? It's boring if you don't make a fool of yourself!"

Long Lanhua was quite moved, and retorted: "You don't know, for women, facial masks have gradually become a daily necessity! In fact, this is a very good business, and I think it's really suitable for Caiyun to do this. "

Li Lifeng glared at her and said, "Let her do it if it suits, but you are not allowed to go, do you hear me?"

Long Lanhua lowered her head, "I didn't say I'm going to do it, why are you in such a hurry!" She held up the wine glass with both hands, and said to Long Xiugui, "Dad, I'd like to toast you! It's a good time to move to Fenghuang. Well, it will be much more convenient to move around in the future. If you have time to sit at home, Jiaqi Jiaxun misses you very much."

Long Xiugui raised his wine glass, waved his hand and said, "Don't drink so much, just take a sip. I'll go when I'm free, I still need to walk more between my in-laws!"

Seeing that Long Lanhua was obedient and only took a sip, he nodded in satisfaction, raised his head and took a sip, put down the cup, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Lu Tu, "If you have time, go back and pick up your mother, brother and you Uncle, and your sister came to the house to play, and said that I invited them to come over as guests. I didn’t hold a wedding wine for you back then, and the two families are divided, it shouldn’t be!”

Lu Tu's eyes were moist in an instant. After waiting for so many years, he finally heard this sentence today!
He was so emotional that he picked up the wine bottle and was about to pour himself wine, but was stopped by Long Xiugui. In the end, he had to replace the wine with tea, and said with both hands, "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely bring them over as soon as possible." !"

After speaking, he drank the water in the glass in one gulp.

Long Xiugui managed to be the master of the house for a while, and felt extremely comfortable. He raised his head and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, put down the glass, and said to Long Wenwu, "Pour me the wine."

Long Wenwu was stunned for a moment, but saw that Lu Tu was the first to hold the wine bottle and filled it up for him, so he couldn't help but said, "You have wine and you want me to pour it?"

Long Xiugui glared at him, and said: "You sit here like a log, don't you see that I'm out of wine, and you want your brother-in-law to pour the wine?"

Long Wenwu rolled his eyes and turned his head away from him.

Li Lifeng picked up the cup and said boldly: "Okay, Wenwu, let's drink one! When you're doing things outside in the future, remember to be careful, don't be like a child all day, what can you do!"

Reluctantly, Long Wenwu picked up the wine glass, touched it with him, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Hey, who told you to drink it all in one gulp?" Li Lifeng looked at the cup and said, "Then I can drink half of it?"

Long Wenwu said bluntly: "Whatever you want, you don't need to drink!"

Li Lifeng smiled and said, "How can I not drink it? I can't drink it in one gulp, half of it, I'll drink half of it!"

After finishing speaking, he really drank half of it, put down the glass, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "This wine is better! No dry mouth, no headache, no feeling uncomfortable after drinking it! Hey, Lu Tu, do you still have this wine?" Is it? Last time Lan Xiang sent a box, let our leader drink it up."

Lu Tu got up and walked into the room, took out two bottles of wine, put them in a bag, put them under his feet, and said, "Brother-in-law, you can take two bottles home, I still have them at home, but not many, I will give them to you." Dad kept two bottles."

Li Lifeng reached out his hand and took out his wallet, winked and asked, "How much is it, I'll give it to you!"

Lu Tu waved his hand and said, "My family, what money do you want! If you want to drink, next time we go to Guizhou together, buy more and keep it at home to drink slowly."

Li Lifeng put away his wallet, gave him a thumbs up, and said with a smile: "Okay! Then it's settled!"

Several people were drinking and chatting. The atmosphere was not particularly harmonious, but they were talking and laughing, which seemed quite lively.

It was almost 08:30 in a blink of an eye, and Lu Tu was about to go out to pick up the group, when Long Lanxiang walked in from the outside.

She put down her backpack, lay on Lu Tu's back, put her arms around his neck from behind, and said urgently with her face close to her face: "My dear, what should I do? You really hit the spot. If I can't do it this time, I will It's going to be smashed!"

Smashing a group is a jargon for tour guides, which means failing to make an order and leading the group to lose money.

Lu Tu turned to look at her, and asked amusedly, "What's the matter? You said you would smash the group just after receiving it, what happened?"

Long Lanxiang stood up, dragged a small high-ranking chair and sat beside him, saw that the bowls and chopsticks in front of him were clean, took them over, took a piece of pork ribs, chewed a few mouthfuls, spit out the bones, and said with a sigh : "I'm starving to death!"

She looked at Lu Tu again, with a serious expression on her face, "I guess these tourists have suffered a disadvantage in Zhangjiajie, and they started to criticize before they even met here. I really can't take this group with me!"

After her description, everyone understood what was going on.

It turned out that Long Lanxiang took a taxi to pick up people at Chengbei Station, but the team leader insisted on her rushing to the highway intersection immediately.She had no choice but to take a taxi again and came to the intersection of the expressway, while the bus was parked on the side of the road and waiting.

After she got in the car, the customers rushed to make a lot of requests: don't enter the store, don't shop, don't go to the bar, don't go to the party!

If you don't agree, you will leave the group!
Long Lanxiang finally calmed down the emotions of the guests and brought them to the hotel.

Seeing the accommodation environment, everyone became noisy again, the reason was that the company was suspected of fraudulent consumption!
They agreed to stay at the Riverside Hotel, but now they are allowed to live in a hotel in the community?It's really deceiving!
Long Lanxiang immediately opened the window to let them see the river view, and said: "Although the view of the riverside inn is better, it is also very humid! You can also see the river view here, but the environment is much better! And we go out The steps are on the edge of the river, and the distance is less than ten meters, may I ask if there is any violation of the contract?"

The guest didn't say anything more, but he didn't give her any good looks. Except for a few courteous ones, everyone else was extremely indifferent.

Faced with this situation, Long Lanxiang was naturally anxious, thinking that Lu Tu had foreseen this situation before, so she hurried home to seek advice.

Li Lifeng said regretfully: "Oh, Lan Xiang, your luck is too bad, isn't it? How can you place an order if the customer doesn't cooperate? Maybe you will lose money!"

Long Xiugui slapped the table, cursing and saying: "Is this group of people mentally ill? After getting angry in Zhangjiajie, why come to Fenghuang to show off? Is it easy to bully when we Fenghuang people?"

Long Lanhua hurriedly said: "Oh, Dad! They are not playing prestige, this is a legitimate and reasonable request from tourists. Don't shout here, be careful to scare the children in a while!"

Long Xiugui picked up the wine glass, drank it up in one gulp, turned his head away, and stopped talking angrily.

It hasn't been a long time since I was happy, and it became the same as before, as long as I opened my mouth, I would be blocked back, and no one took myself seriously!How can we live in this kind of life in the future!

After Long Lanxiang finished talking about the process of picking up the group, she was busy eating to fill her stomach. She was used to the conversations between her eldest sister and her father, so she didn't take it to heart.

Lu Tu didn't care about appeasing the old man, he thought about it, and said to Long Lanxiang seriously: "I think everything else is fine, but there is one thing that you need to improve. This group won't make a lot of money, but it's definitely worth it to keep capital No problem. If it is done well, it may not be impossible to make a little money."

When this statement came out, everyone was shocked!

Even Long Xiugui didn't care about being angry, and turned to look at him.

The guests have already made such a fuss, how can you still make money from them?
Long Lanxiang put down her chopsticks, slapped him on the thigh, swallowed the food hastily, and asked, "Improve what? Tell me quickly!"

Lu Tu stood up, smiled and said: "Improve the relationship with customers! As long as you can stand on the same side with customers at any time, they will definitely understand your difficulties! From this point of view, you should think about it carefully. Let's see what to do next, I believe this should not trouble you! It's getting late, I have to go to pick up the group, let's talk in detail when I get back, okay?"

What everyone heard was cloudy and foggy, and they couldn't help but look at each other.

Li Lifeng said disappointedly: "Who wouldn't say such a thing? You should tell me in detail what she should do!"

He originally thought that Lu Tu really had some good idea, but he just said a few empty words, what's the use and what problem can it solve?
It can only be said that as an outsider, he does not understand the knowledge here, and it is normal to have such a reaction.

Long Lanxiang nodded thoughtfully.She understood that what her husband said just now was to remind herself that she shouldn't speak from the standpoint of the company and antagonize the relationship between herself and the guests. In that case, the guests would naturally not give her a good face.

She sighed secretly in her heart, she was still too eager after all!I was irritated by the attitude of the guest, and for a while, I said a word too much, which caused the whole situation to become what it is today!
However, there is still time to remedy everything!

As Lu Tu said, as long as we can get along with customers and become our own people, all problems will be solved easily!

It is definitely not possible not to enter the store, there are regulations on the itinerary.It’s definitely not good if you don’t shop, and you have to pay the head fee. If the customers don’t buy things, how can you get the income to fill this part of the gap?As for the others, well, forget it, they can do whatever they want!

Anyway, as long as the guests can be arranged to have two meals, two boat rides, and the commission of the scenic spot tickets, the head fee can be paid almost.It's just that, if you lose money, you won't lose money, but you want to make money by leading a group, so where should you start?

Thinking of this, Long Lanxiang wanted to ask Lu Tu's opinion, but when she turned her head to look, there was nothing around her - Lu Tu had already gone out to pick up the group!
Long Lanxiang stomped her feet resentfully, picked up the wine bottle and poured herself a glass of wine, raised her glass and suggested, "I'm late, I'll punish myself with a drink!"

After finishing speaking, she raised her head and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, revealing the bottom of the glass to everyone.
