Chapter three hundred and seventy-one: Book Club guests surge

"Why are there so many people?" Gu Xiaoyou forced his way out of the crowd and squeezed to where Zhou and Zhixia were sitting.

The place where Zhou and Zhixia were sitting was also full of people, and Gu Xiaoyou could only stand at the table and talk.

"They all came here after lunch." Mrs. Zhou replied.

"Yes, I just looked at it for a while. When I looked up, there were many people around me." Zhixia closed the book and said, "Miss, let's go to the shop to train the cooks."

"You go first, I'll give some instructions to the guys." Gu Xiaoyou said, looking at the book club full of people.

"Okay, let's go over first." Zhou responded, holding hands with Zhixia, and squeezed out.

"Yeah." Gu Xiaoyou nodded, glanced around the bookstore, saw the guy behind the counter, and quickly squeezed past: "Give me a step, please give me a step."

The guests at the book club were quite well-educated. When they heard the voice, they turned aside to make way for her.

Gu Xiaoyou squeezed his way out of the encirclement and came to the counter: "Oh, I'm exhausted."

"Boss, please drink some water." The waiter thoughtfully placed a cup of tea on the table.

"I'm not thirsty." Even so, Gu Xiaoyou still took a sip of tea: "There are so many people in the store. It's not an option. Let's do this..."

Gu Xiaoyou whispered something into the clerk's ear, and the clerk nodded: "I understand, I'll do it now."

"Go ahead, I'll watch from here." Gu Xiaoyou waved his hand and acted as a temporary waiter behind the counter.

It's not for nothing that Gu Xiaoyou trained so many clerks. She made the temporary clerks look good.

She wrapped the books purchased by the customers and tied them with a bow: "Here are your change, receipts, and books. Welcome to come back next time."

"Thank you." The customer thanked him and walked away with his things.

Seeing off one customer and receiving the second one, Gu Xiaoyou could hardly keep the smile on his face as he walked back and forth.

Although she is the initiator of smile service, she never thought that her face would be unbearable when there are many people.

Gu Xiaoyou used the time to get the wrapping paper and rubbed his face under the counter, then straightened up and put on a smile: "Please keep your receipt."

After receiving more than ten guests in a row, Gu Xiaoyou's face became hot, and the waiter finally came back.

Before the waiter could speak, Gu Xiaoyou patted him on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work."

The waiter scratched his head and said, "I only ran a few shops when I was younger. It's not hard work."

"No, you have worked very hard, and I want to give you processing money." Gu Xiaoyou said seriously.

It is a good thing to get money for processing at any time. The clerk no longer struggled and said happily: "Thank you, boss, I have done the things you asked me to do."

"Okay, let's announce it then." Gu Xiaoyou nodded.

"Yes." The clerk took out a paper trumpet, raised it to his mouth, and said loudly: "Customers who buy books in the book club, please pay attention. From now on, when you buy books in the book club, you can use the receipts in your hand to spend at the restaurant opposite, and you can enjoy

10% off discount, valid today only.”

The waiter said it three times before putting down the loudspeaker. He followed Gu Xiaoyou's instructions and said important things three times.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was an explosion in the book club: "What does 10% off mean?"

"You're new here, 10% off is just one-ninth off the original price."

“Originally, there were only discounts for new store openings, so I had to go and eat roast duck with a 10% discount.”

"It's only valid today. Let's take the book and go to the restaurant to talk."

"Okay, okay, hurry up and leave."

The customers who had been staying in the book club picked up their books and went to the counter to check out. Gu Xiaoyou and the waiter, one collecting money and the other writing receipts, worked for half an hour before sending most of the customers out of the book club.

In a short period of time, Gu Xiaoyou finally realized what it means to count money until you become weak.

She clicked the lid of the money box and took a breath: "Come on, let's s I'll write the receipt, and you can collect the money."

"Okay, boss." The waiter also started writing until his hand softened, and he quickly changed places with Gu Xiaoyou.

After writing a small ticket, he stamped it with the seal specially made by Jiumen Publishing House. The seal was okay, but Gu Xiaoyou found that writing a small ticket was not an easy task.

Taking advantage of the gap when no one came to check out, Gu Xiaoyou stamped and wrote the date in advance, which made it a little easier.

After working for another hour, Gu Xiaoyou said with trembling hands: "Bring in the two guys at the door, I can't hold it anymore."

The waiter said calmly: "Same for the little one."

The two of them smiled bitterly and changed positions with the two guys who were maintaining order at the door.

Finally freeing his hands, Gu Xiaoyou and the waiter moved their wrists at the door, turning their wrists in a unified manner.

There was a familiar customer queuing up. Seeing this, he teased: "Boss Gu is taking the guys to exercise."

"Yes, yes, winter is here, why not strengthen your physique?" Gu Xiaoyou asked with a smile: "I will settle the bill in a while, have you decided which restaurant to eat at?"

"I've thought about it, I'm going to the breakfast shop. The evening meal set menu launched yesterday was so delicious," the customer said in greeting.

"That's right, I wanted to stay in the book club for a while, but there are activities, so it's better to go to a restaurant to eat and read at the same time." Another customer agreed.

"This is my first time here and I have never been to a restaurant before. What is the evening meal set menu?" the new guest asked.

"You don't even know this, you're so out of date. Come on, let me spread the knowledge about Xinqi Street to you." The regular customers had been waiting in line for a long time. They were worried that no one would talk to them, so they grabbed the new customers and started chatting.

The regular customers talk about what they have seen since coming to Xinqi Street, and he is considered one of the earliest customers. He has been there before the restaurants on the street opened, and he can be said to know the history of Xinqi Street very well.

"At that time, three restaurants were opened together. The spicy restaurant I went to first, the spicy hot pot was so fragrant... Once the barbecue shop opened, the whole street was filled with the aroma of roast duck, not to mention how tempting it was.

…”

Regular customers gave everyone knowledge like speeches, and some customers who came often added a few words from time to time. After a while, the people lining up at the door became familiar with each other. They lined up in the bookstore, bought books, and went to restaurants to spend money with each other.

What the regular customer said was so touching that Gu Xiaoyou couldn't help but be fascinated by it. If she hadn't remembered her duties, she would have gone out to eat and drink with the guests.

After seeing off several waves of guests one after another, it was not finished until the book club closed.

Gu Xiaoyou sighed. He didn't even proceed with the actual simulation for the morning tea shop, and just helped out at the book club.

"You have worked hard. I will give you bonuses this month. Tomorrow will probably be better. If there are still so many people, you can write a batch of small tickets in advance, just in case." After closing, Gu Xiaoyou issued an invoice to the guys.

Had a short meeting.

"Yes, Boss Gu." the guys responded.
