Chapter 612 I Want to Be Your VIP
"County Magistrate Xu"
I have the impression that the county magistrate’s surname is not Xu.
"That's the County Magistrate Xu who came to your house for dinner that day!" Wang Zijian reminded.
"Oh, County Magistrate Xu!"
Chen Hui understood, smiled and welcomed the person in.
Pointing to the tea table in the hall, he said politely: "Comrade Zijian, please sit down first. I will go boil some water and make you a cup of tea."
"Comrade Chen Hui, there's no need to make tea!"
"I'm in a hurry to go back to the county town to do some work. Let's just get things done here."
"First of all, how much is your fee for the reception that day?"
Wang Zijian did not sit down, but stood beside the tea table and asked.
Chen Hui knew how much money it was.
In order to make it look more realistic, he went upstairs and got down the notebook.
He put down the book and looked at it, then looked up and said, "The total is two hundred and sixty-five dollars!"
"it is good!"
Wang Zijian nodded.
He opened the work bag he was carrying and took out an envelope.
He took out the money and counted out twenty-seven pieces of paper with a ten-yuan denomination, handed them to Chen Hui with both hands and said, "Here are two hundred and seventy yuan, count them."
The whole process went smoothly.
Wang Zijian didn't even look at Chen Hui's notebook carefully.
You come to pay the bill yourself, and you are so direct, so straightforward, and so easy to talk to?
This made Chen Hui a little suspicious.
Maybe the workplace atmosphere in this era is still good, I just don’t understand it.
That’s not right!
Yesterday, Wang Kunhua said that he would accompany me to collect the debt.
Chen Hui was full of doubts. He took the money with both hands and gave him a five-yuan note as change.
"Comrade Chen Hui, there is one more thing."
"I heard that you run a more private restaurant here, right?"
Wang Zijian took the five dollars and continued asking.
Chen Hui nodded.
"Then I wonder if you can arrange to take on some reception orders from the county government."
"It's not the particularly formal kind, just something a little more ordinary." Wang Zijian continued.
No wonder he was so easy to talk to, it turns out he had business to discuss.
Chen Hui was a little embarrassed, scratched his head and said: "This is a bit difficult."
"Comrade Chen Hui, don't worry!"
"We have also understood the situation here! We know the rules."
"If you need to host a banquet, we will make an appointment with you at least one week in advance."
"The prices for ingredients and labor should be based on how you normally treat others."
"After all, you have such a good relationship with Boss Wang in the county, so don't worry about the bill. We won't owe you."
Wang Zijian came prepared.
He immediately laid out the point that Chen Hui was undecided about.
"I have to go out to sea to get a lot of the ingredients here, and there are other customers who come here on weekdays."
"If the time needed here happens to conflict with the time to go out to sea, or if you have appointments with other people in the next few days, you won't be able to arrange so much food at once."
“Maybe”
Chen Hui gestured with his hands.
Wang Zijian immediately responded, "I understand. In this case, we will arrange for them to go to a state-owned restaurant."
"There's nothing else besides this."
"I'm just worried that even if I agree to it, I won't be able to do it when the time comes," said Chen Hui.
The matter was settled, and Wang Zijian was obviously relieved and started chatting with Chen Hui.
He talked about how the deputy county magistrate praised him after he returned that time.
Besides saying that this guy has a big picture.
What people talk about most is that his food is really delicious.
The night before yesterday, there was other reception work, so we went to the state-owned restaurant. The deputy county chief said he didn't even have enough to eat. Yesterday morning, he called Wang Zijian into his office.
Let him find He Juanjuan to find out about Chen Hui's family situation.
Then he arranged for Wang Zijian to come early this morning to settle the bill with Chen Hui and discuss the reception matters.
"Next time there's an entertainment, maybe I can come along."
"Come to think of it, I'm quite curious. How is it that it's so delicious that it can surpass all the state-owned restaurants?"
Wang Zijian said this with anticipation on his face, then smiled embarrassedly.
"Chen Hui, are you up yet?"
"The tractor will be here soon. Go to the village entrance and wait for it. Then take them over to haul the fruit trees."
Wang Kunhua has arrived.
Seeing that the door was open, he strode in while talking.
"Good morning, Boss Wang!"
"What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Wang Zijian greeted with a smile.
Wang Kunhua was not surprised to see him, he just smiled and said: "You are very fast this time!"
"Yes! I have done my job!"
"Comrade Chen Hui, Boss Wang, you guys go ahead and do your work! I still have to go to the post office, so I'll leave first!"
After Wang Zijian finished speaking, he left in a hurry.
Wang Kunhua watched him leave and asked Chen Hui, "Is the deal done?"
"Brother-in-law Wang, you knew he would come? Why didn't you inform me in advance?" Chen Hui said.
"I went back yesterday and heard that he had just gone home to find out."
"But it's not surprising. Our Deputy County Chief Xu has nothing else but likes to make something to eat."
"In his own words, he was hungry when he was a child."
"Don't worry, this county magistrate is quite easy to get along with!"
Wang Kunhua first gave Chen Hui a reassurance.
He also urged him to hurry to the village entrance and wait for the tractor carrying goods.
"I haven't even had breakfast yet!" Chen Hui sighed.
I went to Lin Jiao's house and took a bowl of cooked vermicelli to the village entrance.
He forced the tractor driver to wait until he finished breakfast before setting off for Xishan Town together.
Jiang Xiaohua accompanied her third aunt and moved all the peach trees outside the door early in the morning.
Standing at the door and chatting with the neighbor opposite, craning my neck and waiting.
I heard the clanking sound of the tractor.
He immediately waved his arms happily and shouted: "Chen Hui!"
"Xiaohua, why are you here too?" Chen Hui asked in surprise.
"Let me help you look after the goods! Ten peach trees, all the ones you picked yesterday."
Jiang Xiaohua said in a low voice and winked at Chen Hui.
Chen Hui roughly understood what she meant.
I have to say, this girl is really nice, enthusiastic and sincere. No wonder Huang Shuqing introduced clients to her.
"Young man, come and take a look. These are the trees you want, right?"
"We cut off some of the branches so that it is easier to carry and grow after planting! We are not replacing your peach tree with a worse one!"
Jiang Xiaohua's third uncle pointed at the sapling and explained.
Chen Hui looked around and found exactly what they were.
They called the tractor driver, and together with Jiang Xiaohua's uncle and aunt, they squeezed and maneuvered and took some effort to put all the peach trees into the truck bed.
After moving the tree, Chen Hui paid the remaining thirty yuan.
He got in the car and waved, saying, "Xiaohua, I'm leaving first. Thank you."
"You're so polite. Goodbye!" Jiang Xiaohua waved in response.
The tractor rumbled back to the village.
When they reached the bridge, Chen Hui looked at the village road ahead and asked, "Master, we can't go up here, right?"
