Chapter 28: Sneaking into a Restaurant as a Waiter (2)
Soon enough, the noisy restaurant instantly quieted down, and everyone looked outside. In front of the restaurant, stood an immortal-like man, his white robes fluttering in the wind, with his black hair hanging down his back. His alluring peach blossom eyes had a faintly discernible smile on them. His red lips were curled upwards, ignoring everyone as he walked up to the stairs.
Mo Youyou had already seen Helian Yi’s beauty, so she didn’t care too much about this man’s appearance.
However, the man looked a lot more enchanting and approachable than Helian Yi. This kind of man must be very playful.
After sitting for a while, Mo Youyou thought about the issue of where she can stay over for the night. Remembering that she was a penniless woman, Mo Youyou groaned and laid her head on the table. She stared at the teacup on the table with a worried look.
She had just arrived in this foreign land and was unfamiliar with the place, so she was afraid that no one would lend her money. Even if she were to perform, she doesn’t have any tools for it. Mo Youyou looked at the dense crowd, her eyes lighting up. She stood up and excused herself from the man in front of her before walking towards the counter.
“Hello, are you the manager of this restaurant?”
The man who was sitting at the counter glanced at Mo Youyou and asked curiously:
“Does Young master want to stay in the inn or drink some wine?”
Mo Youyou turned around and glanced at the busy waiters, before smiling at the man in front of her.
“Erm, boss, I want to apply!”
“Apply?”
Mo Youyou hastily corrected herself:
“That’s right! I want to be a temporary worker here. I don’t need any money as long as you’ll provide me some food and lodging for today and tomorrow. You see, tomorrow is the seventh day of the seventh month. Seeing the restaurant packed, I was wondering if you’d have enough subordinates to mobilize.”
After the man heard Mo Youyou’s words, he stroked his beard and looked at Mo Youyou, thinking: This young master’s clothes are similar to the official’s clothes worn by the servants by Prince Jing’s side. Could it be that they are Prince Jing’s men?
Thinking that Prince Jing was someone who appeared and disappeared mysteriously, the man didn’t dare to make things difficult for Mo Youyou and smiled apologetically:
“Since Young Master is willing to serve, and is serious, this uncle will naturally welcome you.”
Having said so, the man ordered a waiter who was walking over,
“Ah De, bring this young master to the warehouse to retrieve a set of overalls. Also, help him to familiarize the rules of the restaurant as soon as possible.”
Mo Youyou was very smart. Back in the modern world, she had always had a photographic memory, so everything she sees or hears will never be forgotten. With that, she had already grasped the habits of all the distinguished guests that came in.
With Ah De’s help, Mo Youyou immediately understood everything, starting from the customer’s preferences up to their appearances.
Mo Youyou donned her work uniform and looked at Ah De. This waiter did not look like an ordinary person. His skin was white and smooth, his brows have the temperament of a king, and his clothes, although it was like hers, the cloth on his body was unmistakably made of good silk.
Ah De felt a little uncomfortable from her gaze, his phoenix eyes shining as she stared at Mo Youyou and asked:
“Young Master, is there something wrong?”
Mo Youyou shook her head, “I’m fine. However, I see that you still call me brother, now that we’ve become colleagues, please call me Mo You!”
“Alright, Mo You. Remember to be careful when you do things. I’ll get going now.”
Looking at Ah De’s back, Mo Youyou had a nagging feeling that there must be a story behind this man. She shook her head and muttered under her breath, “What the hell do I care about other people’s stories!? From now on, I should work hard so I’ll have a place to stay at tonight.”
