Chapter 443
The woman had lipstick on her lips, but she didn't apply it evenly, and there was an out-of-bounds hook at the corner of her mouth; she was slightly fat, and she was wearing a business suit, which was one size smaller; there were two wet and symmetrical spots on her chest.
Nan Yi, who has experience in raising children, can tell that the woman is breastfeeding and her life is relatively tight.
"Hello, I'm Penny Street." The woman greeted Nanyi with a calm and generous expression, but with restraint and lack of confidence.
"Adam, nice to meet you."
"It's nice to meet you, too. What does the signboard outside 'Longmen Chen' mean?"
There are English phonetic annotations under the three words "Longmenzhen" on the plaque. Although foreigners don't know the meaning of the three words, they can spell them out. This is conducive to the promotion of the restaurant.
In the restaurant, Nanyi still put some thought into it. Even if the restaurant is just a prop, he doesn't want to see it lose money.
He does business that kills people, but never does business that loses money.
"You can understand it as chatting, so, Miss Streeter, what do you want to do in my shop?" Nan Yi asked knowingly.
"I think your restaurant is a very interesting restaurant with a very interesting name and very interesting decoration. I believe that many local London guests will come here, but... first of all, I think you need a smart, hard-working, English is a good helper."
"The person you're talking about is you?" Nanyi said with a smile.
"uh-huh."
"Ask you a question." Nanyi smiled evilly.
"Excuse me."
"Am I handsome?"
"Pfft!" Dai Xiuxiu, who was listening with her ears upright, almost spit out a mouthful of salty saliva.
"Handsome." Penny Street said seriously.
"Thank you, you are beautiful too."
"So, I have a job?" Penny Street asked, opening her hand.
"Yes, you can come to work tomorrow."
Hearing Nanyi's words, Penny Street covered her mouth excitedly, her eyes became moist instantly, and she kept saying thank you.
After two minutes, she wiped her eyes and said calmly, "What time will I come over tomorrow?"
"Nine in the morning."
"Understood, I will be there on time, see you tomorrow." Penny Streeter said and was about to leave.
"Wait." Nanyi stopped her, "If your child is not taken, you can bring it to the store."
"thanks, thanks!"
Nanyi's words once again made Penny Street's eyes moist. After walking out of the Longmen Formation, she felt that the gray sky had become particularly blue, and felt that in her own dark life world, her dreams had come into reality.
Penny Streeter dropped out of school and started working at the age of 15, and got married at the age of 19. In September last year, she found out that she was pregnant just after losing her job. She and her husband Douglas were still immersed in the joy of welcoming a new life , Douglas also lost his job immediately.
Once the income was cut off, the two, who only received unemployment benefits, could not pay the rent and soon had no place to live. They could only move into a gloomy apartment in Croydon, South London, which was a church shelter. Therefore, free accommodation can be provided for them.
Her child was born there more than ten days ago. The arrival of the child did not bring joy to her and Douglas, but troubles. The unemployment benefits of the two can ensure that they will not starve to death, but the addition of a child , they were immediately stretched.
Penny Street had to look for a job when she was still recovering, but it was not so easy to find a job.
In the 1980s, Eagle Country's unemployment rate soared, and the unemployed population reached the peak after the Great Depression in the 1930s. A total of more than 3 million people were unemployed, and the unemployment rate reached more than 5%.
There are many young people in London who spend their boring time in various ruins and corridors. They can't see hope, they can't see their future, and they can't take a cigarette or even a penny out of their pockets.
In such a big environment, it is conceivable that Penny Streeter’s job hunting journey will definitely not go smoothly. In fact, she has hit the wall one after another. Her style - confident, pitiful, hippie, but the answer she got was "NO".
Here in Nanyi, she labeled herself as strong, but unexpectedly, she succeeded and got a job.
"Boss Nan, that woman didn't ask anything just now, and you didn't ask her anything, why did you let her stay and work?" After Penny Street left, Dai Xiuxiu asked Nan Yi.
"She has just become a mother, probably less than a month. It must be very difficult to find a job at this time. In fact, the environment in Eagle Country is very bad now, and many people are unemployed. You come to Eagle Country at this time, isn't it? A great choice."
"You pity her?"
"Not all, but also because of her optimism and strength." Nanyi said, opened the sleeve of his left hand, and pressed on the watch.
There is a signal transmitter in his watch. When he presses it here, the receiver on the school flower side will sound an alarm. Short presses and long presses will make different sounds, so that simple information transmission can be achieved.
The shop is not big, the school flowers and they can only be scattered on the street outside.
Soon, Xiaohua walked into the store, Nan Yi pointed to her, and said to Dai Xiuxiu: "You can go with her now, she will take you to rent a house."
After finishing speaking, she said to Xiaohua: "Take her to rent a house, go to Luo Kun's landlord to see, if there is still a house, rent it there."
"clear."
One day passed quickly, and on the second day, Longmenzhen had not officially opened for business. Nanyi held a meeting for the three people in the store. At the meeting, everyone's job responsibilities were arranged, and they also gave them a detailed introduction to the store. benefits, and then signed a labor contract with each person.
"Dai Xiuxiu, Penny, we don't force customers to tip in our store, so there will be no service charge column on the bill. If the customer wants to give it to you, you can take it. If you don't want to give it, don't give the customer any hints. Everything is up to you. The guest's own wishes.
In addition, the two of you discuss and decide how to distribute the received tips. You can choose to share equally, or you can keep whoever receives it. "
"Boss, do we have to share the tip we received with the store?" Penny Streeter asked.
"No, the tip belongs to the two of you. If you are willing to share it, you can consider giving it to Luo appropriately. Only when his food is delicious can you receive more tips."
"Ro, I'd love to share it with you."
As soon as Nanyi finished speaking, Penny Street talked to Luo Kun with a smile.
Hearing what Penny Street said, Dai Xiuxiu had an unnatural look on her face. She was overjoyed when she heard that she could earn an extra tip just now.
When she heard Nanyi suggested that they share with Luo Kun, she felt a little uncomfortable, and now that Penny Streeter said that, she felt even more uncomfortable.
Give it, I'm really reluctant; don't give it, it seems impossible, she has seen Nanyi interpreting the words of Penny Street for Luo Kun, and she has seen the joy on Luo Kun's face.
She could only cover up her reluctance with a smiling face and said to Luo Kun: "Master Luo, I will share mine with you."
"Thank you, Xiuxiu."
Nan Yi had a panoramic view of the expressions of the three of them. Dai Xiuxiu's performance made him a little surprised. How did she get so petty in her previous life?
