"Xiao You? Hello, everyone calls me Sister Ting."
Xie You looked at Sister Ting, recognizing her as the waitress who had served him yesterday. He casually said, "Oh, Sister Ting, we'll be working together from now on, please take care of me."
Sister Ting looked at Xie You's stern face and thought, what is he thinking? What is the boss thinking! But since she couldn't figure it out, she decided to just do her job.
"Then boss, I'm going to work."
"Go ahead, go ahead."
After Meng Huai led Xie You to introduce him to all the staff in the restaurant, she began to explain the duties of a waiter to Xie You.
She explained the target audience for each dish and that he needed to observe customers to recommend suitable dishes.
After all, medicinal cuisine was indeed very effective, but if eaten by unsuitable people, it could easily cause adverse reactions.
"Working in a medicinal cuisine restaurant is much more complicated than in other restaurants, so you need to be careful."
Meng Huai cautioned Xie You. As Xie You listened to Meng Huai explain the efficacy of the dishes, he thought, this is even more fantastical and exaggerated than what's written online. Could it also solve problems with spiritual perception?
However, Xie You needed to observe for a while longer, as this matter was not that simple. At the same time, his identity posed a constant danger.
"Do you understand?"
Meng Huai finished explaining everything in the menu and looked at Xie You. To her surprise, he seemed to be daydreaming. Hearing his boss ask him, Xie You replied, "I remember."
Meng Huai looked at Xiao You in disbelief. Sister Ting and the others had to memorize it for days before they could remember it all. Although she believed that some people had amazing memory, she still tested Xiao You with a question.
"Then tell me, who is suitable to eat the Ren Huang Soup?"
Xie You looked at Meng Huai incredulously at the question. He thought to himself: Does this young boss not believe me?
But alas, he had to obey the boss for now. So, Xie You explained the efficacy and suitable recipients of the Ren Huang Soup to Meng Huai. Meng Huai listened to the answers, which were word-for-word the same as what she had told him.
Meng Huai realized that her distrustful behavior just now might have hurt the new employee. So, she stopped asking questions. It was enough that he had remembered everything.
Meng Huai wondered which noble young master had fallen on hard times and ended up working at her humble medicinal cuisine restaurant. She decided not to hurt his pride too much, after all, it wasn't easy for a fallen young master.
Meng Huai walked to a cabinet and looked Xie You up and down. Xie You felt uneasy under Meng Huai's gaze. Just as he was about to ask, he saw Meng Huai opening the cabinet to find something.
Meng Huai took out two work uniforms from the cabinet, in sizes she estimated. "Here, see if they fit. However, we don't require you to wear uniforms. It's all up to you. If there's nothing else, you can start working!"
Xie You glanced at the work uniforms in his hand and casually placed them in the changing room. He continued his work as a waiter in the medicinal cuisine restaurant wearing his own clothes.
By lunchtime, the place was noticeably more crowded. Meng Huai was closely observing the new employee at the counter, wondering if this fallen young master could adapt to this new job.
After all, judging by his attire, he didn't look like someone who would serve others.
But even if he hadn't eaten pork, hadn't he seen pigs run? Xie You watched the other two waiters and knew what to do. He saw four customers who looked like a family of four. Sister Ting and Dong Zi were busy, so Xie You stepped forward to greet them.
"Do the four of you have a reservation?"
This family of four consisted of middle-aged parents with two children, a daughter who looked to be in her early twenties, and a younger son who was only a few years old.
As soon as these four entered the restaurant, they noticed Xie You. Xie You's demeanor was simply too striking to ignore.
The daughter of the family whispered to her mother, "I thought he was a customer! I didn't expect him to be a waiter."
"Xiao Qing, don't talk about people behind their backs, it's rude," her mother whispered to her daughter.
The daughter was admonished by her mother but didn't seem unhappy. She turned to Xie You and said, "Excuse me, handsome, we made a reservation online. Here, number A32, this is the image."
The young lady, Xiao Qing, showed Xie You the reservation image. Xie You knew that tables of type A were for four people, so he led them to a four-person table.
"Please have a seat."
Meng Huai watched all of this from a distance, and also noticed that the customer named Xiao Qing's eyes had not left Xie You's face.
Meng Huai shook her head helplessly, thinking, this is the age of judging by appearance!
She learned that this family was visiting the medicinal cuisine restaurant for the first time. Xie You introduced them to the tea snacks one by one and recommended suitable dishes: "You can order a bowl of Hong Gua Lü Liu Porridge for the child, it's good for brain development and intelligence."
....
After recommending dishes to the family of four one by one, he submitted the menu. Meng Huai saw that the new employee, Xiao You, was handling the guests competently, so she stopped observing him.
After Xie You finished taking the order for the family of four and left, the family began to discuss while waiting for their food.
"This medicinal cuisine restaurant is really as you said, Xiao Qing, it's so crowded!"
"I don't want to eat that brain-boosting porridge, it sounds unappetizing. Can you change it for me? I want to eat that rice you were talking about, I heard the rice is very delicious!"
The younger brother in the family must have been surfing the internet often, as he knew what was delicious at the medicinal cuisine restaurant.
Xiao Qing lectured her brother, "You've been secretly going online again, haven't you? Eat what you're given!"
The brother clearly didn't get along with his sister, making a funny face at her, "You little fangirl, you've been staring at that waiter brother so much you're making him uncomfortable!"
Xiao Qing clearly didn't want to discuss her crush in front of her parents. She picked up a piece of the complimentary pastry that the waiter had brought and put it in her brother's mouth, "Eat your food! Shut your mouth!"
The brother, treated this way by his sister, hit her arm a couple of times. Unexpectedly, the pastry in his mouth was quite tasty, so he began to savor it, ignoring his sister.
Normally, in this situation, the brother would engage in a prolonged argument with her. But now, he showed no reaction. His sister leaned her head closer to observe him carefully, seeing that he was continuously chewing the pastry in his mouth.
"Has this child changed his ways?" The sister didn't believe it and thought something was wrong. She then saw her brother's little hand reach out and grab another piece of pastry, realizing that his mouth was full of food, leaving him no energy to fight with her!
"Is it that delicious? Eat less, and you won't want dinner later?"
As the sister advised her brother, she also broke off a small piece, "It is indeed good. Dad, Mom, you should try some too."
