Chapter 1290 - 170, Assessment (First Update)_3
However, when it came to pouring wine for Lin Yuan, the performance of a few individuals was not particularly satisfactory.
After everyone had a turn performing the task, Lin Yuan glanced at the wine cups before her and addressed them, "Although today I have asked you to pour wine, and there’s a saying that ’wine cups should be filled to the brim,’ it doesn’t mean that you should spill the wine over the edge."
Pointing to the plain water next to the wine cups on the table, Lin Yuan looked at the girls whose wrists had trembled and who had spilled the wine when pouring, saying, "You should fill the cups without spilling and keep the table neat and clean. This is something you must do when serving guests in the elegant room. Remember, our Dong Tian will soon be the top restaurant in the Dayong dynasty. Not only rich merchants and nobles, but even princes and imperial concubines may come to dine at our restaurant. Would you tremble and pour wine for these distinguished guests as well? Aren’t you afraid of offending such people by accident and losing your heads?"
The girls trembled all over when they heard the mention of losing their heads. Even though everyone felt that Lin Yuan’s words were a little too confident, the thought of possibly offending some powerful figures in the future and causing troubles made their hearts pound erratically.
With a cold gaze sweeping over those individuals, Lin Yuan swiftly read out their names. She also made it clear in advance that they would remain only when they could pour wine to the brim without spilling.
After speaking to them, Lin Yuan looked at everyone in the hall, whose atmosphere had become somewhat oppressive, and added, "There’s another thing to remember: we run a restaurant, and the customers are our bread and butter. Without them, what are we supposed to eat and drink? So, when you meet your bread and butter, are you going to greet them with a scowl on your face, as if they owe us silver?"
Pausing, Lin Yuan stood up and continued, "Remember, no matter what the customers say or do, no matter what difficulties you face, you must keep smiling. Of course, by smiling, I don’t mean for you to grin foolishly at anyone you meet. I’m sure you all understand the proper standard of a smile. And don’t be stingy with showing your teeth. Who says a ladylike smile doesn’t show teeth? I require you to show eight teeth, because a dignitary once said that when people show eight teeth in their smile, it’s the most beautiful and charming."
"Do you want to become the most beautiful?"
"Do you want to be the prettiest woman?"
