Chapter 134 A Torturing Day
After the two left, Lou Yuexin started to explain, "Sister Zhao is not the type to ask for favors. She must have considered it for a long time to ask us for help. It's hard for me to refuse.
The child is only staying for a month, so there shouldn't be any impact, right?"
At that time, both of them were sitting in the store waiting for the results, and they couldn't discuss anything.
"Oh, Mom, you don't have to worry about these things. Just make the decision on such a small matter." Xu Si didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and they could understand.
Besides, this is not a difficult thing. If you want to borrow money, you may have to consider this.
Shen Anyi also smiled and said, "At least there's one more person to do the work. Even if it's not done well, it can't be a bad thing, right?"
"So what do you want him to do tomorrow?"
This is a problem. According to Aunt Zhao, Li Ruicheng is an introverted and quiet person who has never done any work and needs someone to take care of him.
"Let him follow me," Shen Jingchuan said.
It is not convenient for Xu Si and the other girls to teach him, so Shen Yanchen should just take care of himself. As for his father, even though he looks easy to talk to now, he is very strict when teaching people.
Others also thought that this arrangement was good and that Shen Jingchuan was still very reliable.
The next day, not long after they arrived at the shop, Li Ruicheng also arrived.
Xu Si is developing new products today, so he won't be here. Except for her, Lou Yuexin introduced everyone to him one by one.
"Then come with us to buy ingredients now," Shen Jingchuan remembered his responsibility to lead people, so he made arrangements.
The task of purchasing ingredients had long been handed over to Shen Anyi and his two sons. Having been in business for so long, they knew which store had the freshest items. They just had to buy as needed, and it mainly depended on physical effort.
If Li Ruicheng went, Shen Yanchen would naturally stay in the shop. He didn't have to go out and suffer the cold, and he was very happy.
Li Ruicheng had no objection and followed the two obediently.
The father and son carried the backpacks with familiarity, and handed one to Li Ruicheng, motioning him to carry it as well. The three of them went out together.
The market was bustling with people and filled with all kinds of hawking sounds.
"You better follow us closely, otherwise you'll be easily separated." Shen Jingchuan warned. This was based on their experience.
"Oh oh," This was the first time for Li Ruicheng to buy vegetables. He felt a little uncomfortable with the scene in front of him and looked around.
Most of the people in the crowd were women, and the combination of these three men was very eye-catching.
Seeing that Shen Anyi and the other person had already squeezed forward, he pulled the strap of the backpack with his hand, adjusted the position to a suitable level, and hurried to catch up.
Without bothering to say more to him, the two of them put the vegetables they needed into the backpack.
Shen Jingchuan was picking lotus roots, and when he looked up, he saw that the cabbages were almost sold out, so he hurriedly said, "Ruicheng, go get three cabbages."
"Which one is the cabbage?"
Li Ruicheng looked at the dish in front of him and felt a little overwhelmed. This is wrapped in layers, so this should be it, right?
When his hand was about to touch the cabbage, Shen Jingchuan corrected him, "The round one."
The two were a little shocked indeed. They must have read so much that they became stupid. They couldn't even tell the difference between the dishes.
After finishing his shopping at this stall, Shen Anyi paid the bill and moved on to the next one.
Two of today’s dishes require winter melon, one is winter melon and tofu meatballs, and the other is braised winter melon.
They bought 6 winter melons in total. The two people's backpacks were almost full. After squeezing a little more, there were still 3 winter melons left.
"Ruicheng, can I put these three winter melons in your backpack?"
"OK."
As he spoke, Li Ruicheng took off the backpack on his body. Since they were not familiar with it yet, Shen Anyi and he put most of the things they bought in their own baskets, and he only put the three cabbages in his basket.
For fear of crushing the cabbage, Shen Jingchuan took out the cabbage first, put the winter melon at the bottom, and then put the cabbage in last.
He lifted the basket and shook it; it wasn't too heavy.
He let go only after Li Ruicheng put on the backpack as he had lifted it.
The next second, Li Ruicheng felt as if a thousand-pound rock suddenly fell from behind him. Without even making a sound, he fell backwards, and with a cracking sound, he sat down on the ground.
Shen Anyi and the other man had just lowered their heads to look at their backpacks, and when they heard the noise and looked over, they were startled.
"Are you okay?"
"It's okay," Li Ruicheng said and tried to stand up. He supported himself on the ground with his hands, but failed.
The two men also realized the reason and took the backpack off him.
Li Ruicheng brushed the dust off his clothes and felt a little pain on his butt. Fortunately, the backpack gave him some strength when he fell, so he didn't fall even harder.
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect this," he said a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, as long as no one is hurt."
Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain to Aunt Zhao if I got injured on my first day at work.
The two men had some understanding of how weak he was. One of them took a winter melon from the basket, held it in his arms, and upon closer inspection, saw some cracks on it, so they asked him to try again this time.
There was no problem this time. Li Ruicheng felt embarrassed because, compared with the other two baskets, he carried too little.
He has never done any work, and his mother took care of everything. He focused on studying. Now he has a deep understanding that he is incapable of taking on such tasks.
"Dad, why are you holding a winter melon? Are you afraid that someone will steal your things and then use it to hit them?"
Shen Yanchen stood at the door of the shop and teased Shen Anyi, who was in the lead.
"Don't be ridiculous, just continue." Shen Anyi rolled his eyes at him and transferred the winter melon in his hand to his.
Then he shook his wrists, feeling really tired.
Shen Jingchuan also put the winter melon in his hand on the table, "And this, put it in the kitchen later."
Shen Yanchen pursed his lips but still did as he was told.
After putting their things away, Shen Anyi and his companions could take a break for a while.
Since Li Ruicheng didn't have a work uniform, in order to distinguish him from the other customers, Lou Yuexin found a red cloth strip, embroidered the name of the store on it, and put it on his arm.
"The next task is to clean the table after the guests have finished eating and then put the dishes into the kitchen."
After a pause, Shen Jingchuan continued, "See the bucket under the table? If you don't want anything, just use a rag to sweep it in there. Don't get it on the plates."
Come to think of it, putting the garbage on the table into the dinner plate still feels a bit dirty even if you know you will wash it.
"Pour the leftovers on your plate into the bucket at the door."
Dahuang and Xiaobai will first deal with some of the leftovers, and the rest will be taken away by Butcher Li at night to be fed to the pigs as slop. On the one hand, this saves them from having to deal with it, and on the other hand, Butcher Li will give them a discount when buying meat as a reward.
Seeing that Li Ruicheng took notes seriously, Shen Jingchuan felt that he could rest assured from now on. This matter was so simple.
It turned out that he was too reassured too early.
He was serving food to the guests when he heard some quarrels. He handed the matter in his hands to Shen Yanchen and went to check.
"what happened?"
One customer was a little speechless, "Your new waiter is not good enough, I haven't even finished eating, just made some soup, and he took my meal away."
After listening to this, Shen Jingchuan looked at Li Ruicheng to hear what he had to say.
"I saw that there was no rice on the plate, so I thought I had finished eating."
"So what? I just like to finish my meal first and then slowly eat the other dishes. What's wrong with that?" the customer was so angry that he laughed.
Isn't it normal to save the delicious food for last?
Li Ruicheng's face turned red under everyone's gaze, "Sorry, I didn't mean it."
Now that the matter was clear, Shen Jingchuan said, "I'm so sorry. How about this, what dish did you just order? I'll make you another one."
"Okay," with a solution in hand, the customer did not pursue the matter any further.
Seeing that Li Ruicheng was a little distracted after this incident, Shen Jingchuan asked him to go into the kitchen to light a fire. As a result, the fire was almost extinguished. No one knew what happened.
At the end of the day, Shen Jingchuan's brows were still furrowed. This was not like finding a new partner, but finding an ancestor. It was too torturous.
The main thing is that they didn’t do it on purpose and they will apologize immediately if they do something wrong.
