Cute porcelain doll ornaments, soft and silky silk embroidered handkerchiefs, elegant and practical bamboo woven small pieces, exquisite and affordable Tibetan silver jewelry... I am worried that girls will be sceptical because the gifts are too expensive, and they are reluctant to use them on weekdays. Shi Xiaolei I deliberately controlled my handwriting and did not choose those particularly high-end objects.

Or two or three hundred, or one thousand eight hundred, most of the items in the gift box are priced below one thousand yuan.

Of course, there are also some relatively expensive ones, such as embroidery paintings that require skillful workmanship to make, such as jade jewelry with exquisite materials and exquisite carvings, and for example, only a few days after the order is made, and it will take a long time to deliver Door-to-door mahogany furniture and copper casting handicraft ornaments.

Among these valuables that cost a lot of money to collect, some were stuffed into the gift box by Shi Xiaolei as 'additional surprises'.

Of course, more of it is to be used as a gift and given to those familiar neighbors... It's not that the girls at home are not as heavy as the neighbors, and they don't deserve to share these higher-value gifts. It's just Shi Xiaolei, as a Chinese, is just a habit - keep the ones for his own use, as long as you can use them, you don't need to be too particular. And the ones that are sent out will be related to their own face, and it can't be too bad in any case.

In other words, it was precisely because he regarded the girls as his own that Shi Xiaolei did not specially prepare those high-end and expensive gifts for them.

On the other hand, it was also because Shi Xiaolei was not needed to prepare.

He was not the only one who went to China, but also Kang Na, Bayonetta and 2B.

Although I have never had the habit of splitting money, and I can't calculate your expenses so clearly, but it's rare to go out, whether it's 2B and Kang Na, or Bayonetta, who has a colder personality, more or less. Or less will think of the idea of ​​'personally' to prepare some souvenirs for relatives and friends.

Take Bayonetta, for example.

Although her own will is not very strong, there is no idea of ​​'have to prepare gifts for the girls', but before Pepper left halfway, when the two went shopping together, because of a friend's suggestion, she still Prepared a present for the girls who are far away in New York - after a while, the owner of the small shop will fly to New York with her assistant, measure the girls' bodies, and then go back to make a customized one for each of them. Set of Hanfu.

It doesn't matter whether it's an active thought, or a passive choice after following Pepper's advice. In short, Beyonet has indeed prepared a gift for the girls, and the price is not cheap.

In addition to the various special snacks that Kang Na clamored for Shi Xiaolei to buy, 2B came forward and ordered a three-piece set for each girl... Although it will take a while to get it, but it really has to be counted. , the gifts prepared by the family for the girls are not inferior in value to those good goods prepared for the neighbors.

It's just that these gifts were not counted on Shi Xiaolei's head.

"Hey, guys, I'm back~."

After two days of rest, Shi Xiaolei returned to the rhythm of daily life again. The difference is that when he came to the store today, he was not driving the usual grocery cart, but a pickup truck temporarily called from the manor.

"Boss~, long time no see." While cleaning the table in the store, Lisa straightened up when she saw Shi Xiaolei push the door open and greeted with a smile.

Hearing the movement in the front hall, Chappell, who was busy preparing dishes in the back kitchen, and He Liangxi, the chef who came to replace him temporarily, also came out together.

"Hi~~!"

"Boss Stone."

"Chappelle." Nodding with a smile, it was considered a response, Shi Xiaolei first stopped his eyes on He Liangxi: "Old He, you have worked hard these days. How about it, the work in the store is not heavy, I can adapt to it. Is it?"

"It's pretty good." He Liang smiled, with a hint of honesty in his smile: "You don't need to change it to the taste here, it's similar to when I opened a store in China. Besides, I've been in the back kitchen all the time, and I don't have to. Talk to the guests."

"Boss, don't you feel relieved that we are here?" Maybe it was a while late, and Claire just got dressed and came out of the staff lounge.

"That's right." Chappell echoed with a snarl.

Although she had given up the idea of ​​pursuing Claire, she was always the girl she once liked. Whenever this happened, Chappelle would always help Claire unconsciously.

"When it comes to Claire and Lisa, I'm quite relieved, you... tsk tsk." Looking at Chappell with a smile, Shi Xiaolei deliberately put on an expression of disgust.

"Hey, boss, you are wrong! I want to express my solemn protest to you, you hurt my heart~!"

"Kai Kai, I don't know you yet. Tell me, how much delicious food did you steal in the back kitchen while I was away?"

"Uh~. Well, I admit, I did eat a little bit." Chappell raised his right hand and used his index finger and thumb to poke a tiny gap: "Just a little bit. Besides, I also want to ensure the quality of the dishes. ...you know, He Cai came to the store, it takes some time to adjust the craftsmanship to make the food taste unique to our store, as your assistant cook, I have to assume the responsibility of the quality inspector and help him control each dish the taste of……"

"You have many reasons." He raised his arms and tried to shoot, frightening the black guy who came up to him. Shi Xiaolei smiled at He Liang, "Old He, this guy didn't cause you any trouble, did he?"

"No no~lightnovelpub.net~ While talking, He Liangxi took out his mobile phone: "Chappell also helped me download a translation software, thanks to him, otherwise, I would not have been able to adapt so quickly. "

Working in a Chinese restaurant, if you want to get higher wages and tips, it is best to learn a little Chinese. This principle is the same as when you go to work in a foreign-funded company. If you can speak the language of the country where your boss is from, then your salary will definitely be higher than your colleagues.

The obvious reason does not need to be pointed out at all.

Therefore, after joining this store, the three of Chappell took the initiative to strengthen their Chinese learning, and learned some Chinese for daily use more or less.

Then, either take the opportunity to practice while entertaining guests, or take advantage of the free time to find opportunities for Kang Na to be a sparring partner... Nearly a year later, the three of them's Chinese proficiency has greatly improved.

Today, their Chinese is almost at the level of preschool children. Except for the accent, there is no big problem in daily communication.

It was precisely because he knew the progress of the three of them that they were learning Chinese that Shi Xiaolei was so relieved to temporarily hand over the store to He Liangxi.

After all, He Liangxi has just come to the United States, unlike his cousin He Yingshui who has already mastered English. Without the cooperation of the three of Chappell, with his English ability of 'hello, thank you, goodbye', it is impossible for the two sides to form a cooperation, let alone a tacit understanding... The back kitchen and the front hall cannot form a cooperation, If the restaurant can't operate at all, how can we talk about making money? In that situation, Shi Xiaolei would not dare to go so free and easy, so simply.
