Days after Breaking up with My Ex

As a chef hired by our restaurant, we wrote a detailed article on Shi Yuan on wechat public number, and shi yuan did not disappoint us. He even helped us bring in some guests.

Usually, everyone respected shi yuan, and shi yuan also enjoyed the respect everyone gave him. His temper was a little strange, and sometimes he was impatient, but he was still very responsible at work.

But for some reason, I always felt that I was distant from people like Shi Yuan, unlike people like Jiang Yan and old meng. Jiang Yan and old meng are very easygoing. They treat you as a friend when they talk to you all over the world. Shi yuan, on the other hand, is a little different. How can I put it? When I ask questions like Jiang Yan and old meng, they talk to me like they are friends, and shi yuan, on the other hand, treats me like a student, like a teacher.

Usually we call Shi Yuan master shi, and everyone calls jiang yan Brother Jiang.

"This wedding feast is up to you, master shi."

Shi Yuan smiled and joked, "I can't kill myself. Jiang Yan is young. Jiang Yan is the main force in this kind of thing."

Although Shi Yuan enjoyed the compliment, most of us liked to hear it. Then he added, "I've been working for so many years and have received hundreds of large banquets in almost a year."

"Then you have plenty of experience. What do we need to pay attention to?" I asked for advice.

"It's nothing. If they have any requests, we'll just follow them. What dishes to serve, what tables to prepare, we will prepare in advance, what dishes to do, nothing, most of the guests are very good to serve, usually no one will make trouble. Let's just make sure the food and service are all right. That's all. It's a big celebration. There aren't many people making trouble, right?"

I nodded. It was true. People would hate them for the rest of their lives if they made a fuss about other people's wedding.

Shi Yuan was relaxed about the banquet, obviously numb to it.

"Just a little." Shi Yuan added, "When you serve, you have to ask which tables are vip. Normally, vip guests should pay more attention to them, right? The dishes should be picked up first. Otherwise, some guests might feel uncomfortable if they are not taken care of properly, right? This must be asked clearly."

I nodded. What Shi Yuan said was very useful to me. We talked about the wedding banquet for a while, and I had a rough idea.

At this moment, Shi Yuan moved closer to me and lowered his voice, "Xing Yun, I think you still need to collect this deposit."

I didn't care about it at all. I said, "We're all friends. It doesn't matter."

Shi Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Friends are right, but we also open a restaurant to make money, right? When you book a high-priced wedding banquet in a big hotel like the four seas, the symbolic minimum charge is a thousand yuan. If you want more, you can buy it for tens of thousands."

I didn't rebut Shi Yuan, but listened to him quietly.

After all, this is a reservation. There must be some variables. For example, they booked 30 tables, and we were all prepared in advance. On that day, the bride repented and fled the wedding. What should we do? It's not like this never happened. I've met it before, but there must be! So it was an accident, and no one could guarantee it. But they can't do it. What should we do with the food? What about the hotel's losses? They won't care, so that's why they took a deposit or a deposit to prevent this accident."

What Shi Yuan said makes sense. If I don't know anyone, I will definitely take a deposit. But Wang Bing and Cheng Shuai really don't need it. I believe they, especially Cheng Shuai, have to choose our hotel after withdrawing other hotels to change their wedding dates. Is it appropriate for me to take another deposit?

"I know master shi. This is a special case. I will accept the others."

"Actually, you don't have to be embarrassed, my friend. After all, this deposit or deposit will be directly included in the consumption. You're not blackmailing their money, are you? Let's talk about it. It's not like we're sorry about them."

I didn't say much to Shi Yuan either. I listened to him most of the time, then nodded very seriously.

"Besides, it can be seen that your friendship is not particularly good, unlike yours and Hu Zi Old Gao, right?"

I nodded. Hu Zi and Old Gao were my best friends. Wang Bing and Cheng Shuai were close, of course, but I wasn't a big friend. I didn't have many friends, and once I identified them, I would believe them. Like Wang Bing and Cheng Shuai, Wang Bing brought gifts to the hospital to thank me, and Cheng Shuai and Cheng Shuai changed my wedding date. I thought they were all pretty good people, and they could be friends.

Of course, Shi Yuan said this for the sake of the restaurant. We can't say who is right or wrong. It's just that there are some differences in the way people behave. Different values are not right or wrong.

"Next time, it's better to pay a deposit." Shi Yuan said again.

"Yes, master shi, yes." I quickly smiled and replied.

Cheng Shuai and Yu Min were quickly booked. They changed the wedding to december 28th, and their parents came to the restaurant together, saying it was a test meal, but they were still holding gifts in their hands, making my face red.

Just like that, the two wedding banquets were booked.

They were all acquaintances, people I met in the pond at that time, and fate was wonderful. The owners of these two weddings could be said that I went to the hospital because of them.

I think, perhaps this is the so-called good and good will pay back the evil. I did not think that such a more dramatic day would happen. Thinking about it is quite incredible!

Since we have accepted it, we will definitely work hard to do it. I am also fully responsible for this matter, including the menu they ordered and the number of wedding tables reported. These are all my communication with them. As the big day of their marriage, I don't want to make mistakes because of our Xingyun hotel.

However, we still have a problem.

The factor of this problem is still quite large.

New year's eve, it can be said that many big restaurants have received dozens or even hundreds of such wedding banquets during this period of time, and this also caused some of the ingredients on the table to become nervous.

Fish in particular, there was basically no lack of a fish at the wedding, so it became particularly scarce, and even heard that the two restaurants directly bid for fish. Of course, we don't have the capital. Just watch them pretend.

Our usual fish suppliers were already out of stock, so I was in a hurry, and then I looked for a few more, but they couldn't bring out the quantity I wanted. I even heard that some hotels directly pulled fish from other places.

We had to go to the market every day to buy fish. It was almost the wedding day of Wang Bing and Cao Ling, but we didn't even buy enough fish. It was such a joke to spread it.

For some reason, at this moment, I suddenly thought of the pond where Old Gao and I used to be.

I had been curious about what the pond was like before, and I really missed it, especially after talking to Hu Zi. I also wanted to take the time to go to the pond and experience the calmness of facing the pond again.

This time, there was a shortage of fish, so why not go there and see if there were any fish in the pond. If there were any, it would be best to buy some fish to relieve your tired body and mind.

It was easier said than done, so I told Hu Zi Old Gao about it. Hu Zi gave me the car keys. I asked Old Gao, "Old Gao, are you going?"

After all, Old Gao also had deep feelings for the place, I don't know if he missed it.

However, there was some sadness in Old Gao's eyes. He shook his head and said, "I won't go. You go."

I couldn't help but blame myself for not mentioning this to Old Gao.

After all, Old Gao sold the pond for Wang Mengmeng, which also led to Wang Mengmeng being deceived. When you think of the pond, you inevitably think of those painful memories.

Old Gao didn't go, so I went alone.

Then Guzheng called me. When I said I was going to the pond, Guzheng said he was going with me, but I didn't want to go with her, because I wanted to be alone for a while.

So I cruelly rejected Guzheng, and Guzheng didn't blame me.

These days, maybe Guzheng's father's company is also busy. Guzheng came to see me a lot less. We didn't see each other much. Sometimes she just called me and talked to me.

Then, I drove alone towards the pond.

I still remember a few months ago, I rode my battered tram to the pond. After walking for such a long time, even if it had not been for such a long time, he was especially familiar with the road. There was no strangeness at all. He felt that everything had not changed much. It was just that there were some seasonal changes from summer to winter.

Unlike in the city, where the sun and the moon are growing every day, digging a trench here and building a building there, it is like a huge machine that operates tirelessly every day, so many people have lost their way, but the roads they are familiar with rarely go again.

Along the way, I didn't drive very fast, I just drove slowly, looking at the scenery that wasn't so beautiful but made me feel good, the river, trees, heaven and earth... The view here was very wide, even in winter, I could see a little green, making my eyes bright.

On the way, I couldn't help but think of the pond years. I remember fishing here with Old Gao and old meng and working with the studio where Lin Ya used to work, but I didn't have much contact with Ding Ge during that time. Lin Ya and Guzheng both came to the pond, but Ding Ge never came.

Ding Ge said she would call me, but after a few days, she didn't call me again. I think it must be Lin Ya who didn't want to see me, and Ding Ge couldn't persuade her, so Ding Ge didn't report the bad news to me.

In her memory, she finally came to the pond!
