Chapter 231 Original Sin 40
When Li Ming arrived, the people at Red Dust were gathered on the first floor having breakfast. Shuangshuang had gotten up early to prepare century egg and lean pork congee along with mushroom chicken congee, plus some pickled vegetables and two light stir-fried dishes. Though simple, the flavors were rich and aromatic.
Qiangqiang sat on Professor Zhang’s lap, holding a small bowl and eating happily. Over the past few days, a touch of blood had returned to Qiangqiang’s pale little face, making him look healthier.
As soon as Li Ming, the foodie, walked in, he headed straight for the dining table without waiting for anyone to invite him. After washing his hands, he picked up a bowl and served himself some congee, leaving the waiter standing next to the congee pot, ready to help, a bit stunned.
The waiter was someone Shuangshuang had hired earlier. Previously, there had only been two waitstaff at Shuangshuang’s place, mainly responsible for simple cleaning. Back then, there were no guests at Red Dust, so many areas didn’t need frequent cleaning, and the two were able to manage.
Later, when guests started coming to Red Dust, the two weren’t enough, so Shuangshuang recruited ten girls to work as waitstaff. Since then, Shuangshuang had been training these girls.
Shuangshuang was teaching them methods and techniques for dealing with various odd customers, which she had gleaned from her previous life in the hotel business, along with work postures. The main focus was to quickly get them used to working in long skirts.
Yes, Shuangshuang planned for all the waitstaff to wear ancient costumes, styled after traditional palace maid attire. The skirts were long but didn’t reach the ankles, to avoid dragging on the floor, and the tops had narrow instead of wide sleeves.
Their hair was tied differently on each side; those with long hair used their own, while those with short hair received two fake ponytails from Shuangshuang, each side twisted into a small bun with simple ornaments. Honestly, dressed like this, they looked quite playful, like little sisters from ancient times.
Originally, Shuangshuang planned to train them for a month before putting them to work, but as guests suddenly increased at Red Dust, particularly with Director Li Ming and his entourage arriving, Shuangshuang had to let these waitstaff start working early.
Li Ming’s entourage had quite a few vehicles—big ones, small ones, cargo trucks, and chauffeur-driven vehicles set up a formation outside Red Dust!
