Chapter 566 The Difference Between High Expectations and Low Skills and Precocity
Xiao Luoyi didn't reject him directly, but asked: "What do you think you can do?"

Sun Benyuan was proud when he heard this.

"I heard that you and Prince Xing are planning to open Yihe Tower and Moxiangzhai in various places, and you are in need of manpower. If you trust me, you can let me manage a shop in a certain prefecture."

Xiao Luoyi raised an eyebrow: "Do you have any experience?"

Sun Benyuan: "I have seen a lot of things with my father before. This kind of thing is very simple. I have seen it."

"That means you have no experience." Xiao Luoyi helped him translate.

Sun Benyuan: “…” He didn’t dare to refute.

Xiao Luoyi asked again: "If the best chef of the restaurant you are in charge of is poached, what will you do?"

Sun Benyuan didn't expect Xiao Luoyi to ask specific questions. After a pause, he said decisively: "I will offer a higher price to keep him."

Xiao Luoyi: "What if the other party offers a higher price?"

Sun Benyuan: "If he doesn't know how to appreciate my kindness, I'll have someone break his legs..."

Before he finished speaking, Sun Benyuan himself felt something was wrong.

What I just said was a completely subconscious reaction, but it seems that this is not a good idea? !
Sun Benyuan scratched his head in confusion: "I...what should I do?"

Xiao Luoyi sighed: "It's good that you have a desire to make progress, but your character still needs to be tempered."

Sun Benyuan was even more confused: "How to temper it?"

"Now that spring plowing is about to begin, the tenants and servants on your farm have also begun to prepare, right?"

Sun Benyuan nodded: "My father said that we will start farming in a few days."

"Why don't you start by farming first, think of yourself as a tenant farmer, and work hard for a season before you talk?"

Sun Benyuan immediately refused: "I don't want to farm!"

Perhaps realizing that his reaction was too intense, he tried to make amends: "I have never done such work since I was a child. This is too hard. I can't do it."

Xiao Luoyi didn't force him: "Then go to the kitchen to wash the dishes. Clean the dishes used by the diners every day. Can you do it?"

Sun Benyuan agreed readily this time: "Washing dishes is easy, I'll do it!"

Xiao Luoyi immediately reminded him, "When washing dishes, any broken dishes will be counted as yours and will be deducted from your wages. If it's not enough, it will be deducted from your sister's wages. Do you have any objections?"

Sun Benyuan was stunned: "Ah?"

Xiao Luoyi continued to remind: "Also, if you don't clean the dishes properly and are discovered by the kitchen staff or waiters, your wages for that day will be deducted. If you are complained by a customer, your wages for a month will be deducted. Do you have any objections?"

"This... I've never washed dishes before..." Sun Benyuan showed his fear.

He knew that he was a bit careless in his work. If the deductions were so severe, he would probably have deducted all his wages for the year before he even worked for a month.

Xiao Luoyi nodded again: "It seems that washing dishes is not suitable for you... Can you be a waiter?"

Without waiting for Sun Benyuan to respond, she took the initiative to talk about the waiter's job responsibilities.

"It's just serving food to customers, clearing the table after they leave, wiping the table, and sending the used dishes to the kitchen."

Sun Benyuan was cautious this time. He listened but did not answer.

Sure enough, Xiao Luoyi talked about the precautions for this position again.

"As a waiter, there are a few things you must do: If a customer calls you, you must answer loudly. And you must jog over to serve the customer as soon as possible."

“When doing things, you should smile and bend your body slightly.”

"I know you have many acquaintances in Yongzhou Prefecture. If you meet one of your acquaintances who comes to eat at your restaurant, he is also a guest of our restaurant." "If a guest says something unpleasant, you must be patient and not get angry. You must also greet him with a smile..."

When Xiao Luoyi said this, Sun Benyuan was completely desperate: "My Lady Princess, I can't do this."

He had to be servile in front of his former friends. Even when people teased and laughed at him, he couldn't get angry and had to greet them with a smile... It would be better to kill himself.

Xiao Luoyi spread his hands: "Do you know what it takes to be a shopkeeper?"

At this time, Sun Benyuan no longer dared to think that "I can learn it by watching". He looked at Xiao Luoyi blankly, his eyes clear and stupid.

Xiao Luoyi sighed: "First, we need to settle the accounts. Each table needs to be accounted for clearly, and the accounts need to be settled every day. If there is a discrepancy between the account and the actual money, the shopkeeper will be responsible for compensation."

"Every day at noon and evening, the shopkeeper needs to stand behind the counter, taking in the overall situation and greeting every customer with a smile."

"When a shop assistant is scolded by a customer, the shopkeeper should step forward and apologize with a smile, appease the customer, and at the same time look back to understand the situation to decide whether to appease or reward the shop assistant."

"After all, sometimes the customers are unreasonable, and sometimes the waiters are not careful enough. We need to deal with different situations differently..."

“When customers are dissatisfied with the food, we need to find out the situation in time and confirm whether the food cooked by the chef tastes wrong.”

"When customers have a lot of leftovers, the shopkeeper needs to taste the food to confirm whether there is anything wrong with it..."

As Xiao Luoyi was talking, Sun Benyuan realized: He simply couldn't do it!

Will being a shopkeeper also lead to being wronged?

Want leftovers?
Still need to appease the guests?

Even need to appease the guys?!
Is this something a human being would do?!
At this time, Sun Benyuan no longer had the assumptions he had at the beginning, and he was completely depressed.

"My Lady Princess, I oversimplified the matter. Can you please tell me if there is anything I can do?"

Xiao Luoyi looked at his thin body and said, "Well, how about you go to Heji to carry the big bags?"

Hutchison has to purchase goods every day, and a lot of rice and grain needs to be carried in by hand, and the money is calculated by the piece, and it doesn't matter how much you do.

Sun Benyuan was very clear about the nature of this job, it was just hard work...

"Can I...can I go back and think about it before deciding?"

Xiao Luoyi nodded: "Of course."

Sun Benyuan was ready to leave dejectedly, and Xiao Luoyi picked up the tea beside him and said casually, "No job is easy to make a lot of money."

"If you want to do something well, you need to at least understand what needs to be done, know where your abilities are lacking, and know how to do it..."

"Your sister has suffered a lot to be able to be a good shopkeeper."

Sun Benyuan was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Xiao Luoyi, then silently bowed and said goodbye.

After everyone left and the door was closed, Xiao Huaniang smiled and said, "The princess is really patient and willing to teach this young boy."

Xiao Luoyi sighed deeply: "The three brothers lost their mother when they were not even as old as Sun Benyuan. Just think about how they survived those years."

Xiao Huaniang's smile faded: "That must be very difficult."

"For a son who is pampered by his parents, like Sun Benyuan, even if the family falls into poverty, they will not let him suffer even a little."

"That's how he maintains his naivete, thinking that as long as he has the courage and dares to speak up, he can get what he wants."

Xiao Luoyi suddenly felt sorry for the three brothers of the Chen family.

Growth always comes at the cost of hardship.
