Chapter 51 Rewards
"Lao Jiang, we limit the sale of this chicken to 50 servings per meal. Is it too little?"
Li Yue and Shen Deqing, newcomers to the store, have become more and more proficient at the job. Hu Zhihai now doesn't have to do it himself most of the time. He only needs to wait by the credit card machine to collect cash, and occasionally lend a hand to help.
It is precisely because of this that after working all day long, he was the most relaxed among the people in the store. After everyone had rested, Hu Zhihai came to Jiang Yu and asked with a puzzled look on his face,
"You don't think you make too much money, do you?"
"No matter how much more you have, how much more can you have?"
Jiang Yu glanced at him, replied jokingly, and then said,
"50 servings is already a lot. Besides, with so many people queuing up, how much is enough? We now sell at least 300 soup dumplings per meal, but some people still can't buy them."
"The store is still too small and there aren't enough people."
Hu Zhihai glanced at the store and shook his head.
"By the way, are you sure Teacher Xiong from the Academic Affairs Office can get a bigger stall? Don't find a canteen in a remote location for you then. It's not as good as here!"
"If Teacher Xiong can really help us get a big stall, do you think we would still care about the location in our current situation?"
From then on, in order to practice her spoken English well, she got out of bed at 4:30 a.m. every day for two consecutive semesters, ran to the school's lakeside pavilion to read English texts aloud, and used the remaining meal money to buy English
Tape correction speech…
…
"Liu Sili comes out!"
"Okay, let's eat something quickly. We've been tired for a long time."
And Cheng Jiayi, who laughed at her at first, didn't even make it to the semi-finals of the English speech contest.
Hu Zhihai was stunned for a moment, then he realized and started laughing:
Liu Sili took a deep breath, took a small envelope from the instructor, and held it tightly in her hand. She did not open it immediately to read it, but took it and turned back to the queue.
Jiang Yu said, greeted everyone, and then said,
The instructor trained everyone for a while. Seeing that the time was almost up, he continued,
"Don't even move your head! Keep your eyes straight ahead and don't look left or right!"
"..."
The instructor's ear-piercing roar rang in her ears. Although Liu Sili already had a sore back and weak legs from standing, she still gritted her teeth and persisted. She always kept in mind the key points of standing in a military posture that the instructor had mentioned before, and moved her body
Very straight.
When she was still in high school, she was laughed at by Cheng Jiayi once because she didn't speak English well, which deeply irritated her.
"Take a break after eating. Xiaoyan, you guys, if you have classes in the afternoon, go to class. Come back if you can make it in time for dinner in the evening. If you can't make it, forget it. There are so many people in the store. You can still be busy."
"yes!"
The sun is like fire, and the earth is like a furnace.
"Relax your shoulders! Keep your shoulders at the same level!"
This is worth learning for everyone!
Perhaps, when I graduate in a year, it is still unknown whether I will stay in the school cafeteria and open a shop.
"If you're really not sure, we'll have to wait and see. Don't have high hopes. I'm satisfied with just having such a small store."
"Thank you, instructor!"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing.
"You! It's you! Why are you laughing? If you laugh again I will throw you out!"
He picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip of water, smacked his lips, stood up from his seat, walked towards the stove, and said with a smile,
Hu Zhihai then added:
"If you don't come back in time, you're not allowed to come and eat. There aren't many chickens in the mouth. If you don't come, I can eat more!"
"I got it wrong. I thought our store would be worried about lack of business just like everyone else. The soup dumplings and hot and sour soup in our store are delicious, especially the new saliva chicken. Tsk tsk, even if we
No matter how remote the place is, these students will rush there just because of the smell!"
She persisted like this for more than a year, and her spoken English was so standard without a trace of accent that even her teachers praised her. She even won first prize in an English speech contest for middle school students organized by the city.
In our phalanx, there is one girl who is the most serious and standard among everyone in her military posture. She is Liu Sili!
"And you! Tighten your tummy! I'm not pregnant yet, so what's wrong with my tummy!"
The sweat on his forehead flowed down his hair to his eyebrows, and then slipped into his eyes. It was so hot that he almost couldn't open his eyes.
"You are the best student in our formation this afternoon. This is your reward. Keep up the good work!"
Liu Sili quickly responded, ran out quickly, and stood still in front of the instructor.
Even though they had only been training for less than half a day, their cheeks had already started to turn red from the sun, and their clothes were wet and dry, and dry and wet again, making them sticky and uncomfortable.
The instructor, who was also wearing camouflage uniforms, held a pointer in his hand, and while checking the military posture of the freshmen in the queue, he shouted loudly,
"You! I'm talking about you! I told you not to look around, so what are you doing with your eyes?!"
She is a girl who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. The more difficult it is, the more she can persevere.
On the spacious school playground, freshmen wearing camouflage uniforms formed a neat queue, standing motionless in a military posture under the hot sunshine.
Jiang Yu didn't care. He provided catering rewards for the freshmen's military training without expecting anything in return. It would be better if Teacher Xiong could help get a big stall. If he couldn't, it would be fine. There would be plenty of opportunities in the future.
Compared with this, what is just half a month of military training?
After a long time, just when Liu Sili felt that she could no longer hold on, the instructor's voice finally came to her ears:
"Okay, everyone, relax and rest where you are, no sitting on the ground!
"Most people practiced very seriously this afternoon. Although there are still some flaws in the movements, it is already very good to be able to achieve this level for the first time. We must continue to work hard in the future.
Especially those boys, are you shy or blushing? You actually lost to a girl in the military posture!
I blush for you!"
After Liu Sili returned to the queue and stood up, the instructor clapped his hands and said:
"Okay, that's it for this afternoon's practice, dismissal!"
There was a "boom", and the freshmen, who had been tired for the whole day, could no longer hold on. They sat down on the ground one by one, breathing heavily.
Liu Sili didn't sit down. She had already opened the small envelope and was holding a meal coupon stamped with the seal of the school's Academic Affairs Office. It clearly said: One meal.
There is also a small note on the side: One meal includes a cage of soup dumplings and a hot and sour soup. This meal is sponsored free of charge by the Ershitang "Jiang's Soup Dumplings" store.
Looking at the meal coupon in her hand, Liu Sili's face was full of excitement:
She really got the military training reward!
She can have soup dumplings and hot and sour soup for dinner today again!
Chapter completed!
