Although Sibuwancui was somewhat dissatisfied with Hinazuru Akina's slightly contemptuous tone, she had to admit that Sibuwanyuan was not a very good heir.
"Renovating a hotel should cost a lot of money. I remember the news that your Xicui Manor seemed to be undergoing an international renovation?"
Sishiwan Cui still remembers what Sishiwan Yuan said to her: "Mom... Oh no, boss lady. The domestic economy is in recession now, and most of the people who are willing to travel a long way to Ishikawa to soak in hot springs are middle-class people and international tourists who are not short of money."
"Under such circumstances, the positioning of our Tangyong Hot Spring is a little awkward. Whether in terms of luxury or international level, it cannot compare with the nearby Hekura Hot Spring."
"So! Xi Cui Manor must be renovated. We need a new international hotel!"
Sishiwan Cui lowered her head slightly and said, "Although business has been slow in recent years, I still have some savings from the good business in previous years."
Hinazuru Akina nodded and said, "Then I hope that after the renovation, the Kicui Manor will be prosperous again."
The Hinazuru family and the Jushimane family have known each other for quite some time, and since both families are traditional Japanese inns, they are quite close.
The Hinazuru family witnessed the heyday of Xicui Manor, and also clearly saw its gradual decline.
However, it is not just Xicui Zhuang that is declining. The entire Tangyong Hot Spring, or the mid-range hot spring industry is shrinking.
The high-end hot spring industry, such as Hinazuru Ryokan, mainly does business with regular customers and international tourists. Some international tourists also want to experience traditional Japanese inns when they come to Japan.
These tourists are generally not short of money, so the high-end hot spring industry is becoming increasingly prosperous.
The civilian hot spring industry is doing business for ordinary citizens. The prices are cheap and they are not even hotels, but just hot spring baths.
Although the economy is in a downturn, the Japanese are still somewhat enthusiastic about hot springs, and the affordable and convenient hot spring industry for the masses is still doing well.
But the mid-range hot spring industry is a bit embarrassing.
The rich don't like it, and the common people are reluctant to spend money on it. Most of the people they receive are tourists passing by, and the industry is shrinking continuously.
As mentioned by Yushan Kazuto before, most of the hot spring inns that hired waiters due to poor management are mid-range hot spring inns.
The positioning of Xicui Zhuang, or the positioning of the entire Tangyong Hot Spring, is rather awkward.
Tangyong Hot Spring can only be regarded as a mid-range hot spring, so in the hot spring tourist street that relies on Tangyong Hot Spring, most of the hot spring hotels are mid-range hot spring hotels.
Xicui Zhuang wants to undergo international transformation, and its purpose is definitely to move towards the high-end.
Hinazuru Akina is not very optimistic about Xicuizhuang's attempt to become a high-end brand, but she won't say it out loud.
In her opinion, Xicui Manor should lower its status and carry out popularization transformation, but she certainly couldn't say this to Sibuwan Cui.
"So, are these two waiters going to work here temporarily?" Hinazuru Akina looked at the two girls behind Sibuwancui.
"Ouka, Nako, come forward quickly."
Matsumae Oka and Oshimizu Nako ran up somewhat nervously, looking at Hinazuru Akina angrily, but when they were glanced at by Hinazuru Akina, they quickly lowered their heads.
"A very shy waiter. I don't know how capable he is at work." said Hinazuru Akina.
"I trained him personally." said Sibuwan Cui.
"I can rest assured that."
Although Xicui Manor is positioned as a mid-range hot spring hotel, the internal waiter configuration is on par with high-end hot spring hotels. Sishiwan Cui is a strict and even somewhat harsh person.
"Why does that short-haired girl look familiar to me? Can you raise your head a little?" Hinazuru Akina looked at Matsumae Oka.
Matsumae Ouka was a little dazed, raised her head and pointed at herself: "Me, me?"
"She looks a lot like Gao Yue, but her personality is nothing alike," said Hinazuru Akina.
She and Matsumae Satsuki are old acquaintances and their personalities are somewhat similar. Of course, now, the two have embarked on completely different paths.
"More capable than Gao Yue." Sibuwan Cui said.
Matsumae Oka blinked.
[Is the boss lady praising me? ]
"So this is your granddaughter. Will Gao Yue send her daughter back?" Hinazuru Akina looked at Jishiman Cui.
"I won't go into details about private matters at home."
"So these two
I'll take it. Do you need me to provide accommodation?" asked Hinazuru Akina.
"If it's not a night job, then it's not necessary." Sibuwan Cui said.
Wakura Onsen is not far from Yuyong Onsen. Although Xicui-so is currently under renovation, there are still places to stay.
"Since it was you who sent the 400,000 Cui, I will arrange their work during the day." Hinazuru Akina said.
"But let me make it clear in advance that if you disobey orders or do something wrong, I will show no mercy. Four hundred thousand Cui, is it okay for me to be strict with your granddaughter?"
Although he had confidence in Sishiwan Cui's ability to identify people and her training, things might change in different places. Who knows, maybe if we change the hotel, these two waiters might not work as hard.
"Just arrange it. For my sake, make their work heavier."
Hinazuru Akina looked at Shimoman Cui and found that she was still the serious and old-fashioned strong woman.
I just don't know why she handed over Xicui Manor to Sibu Wanyuan and agreed to Sibu Wanyuan's international renovation plan.
Hinazuru Akina didn't believe that Sibumane was rich. Hinazuru Akina knew the situation of Sibumane's family very well.
Chapter 635 Work Arrangements
"Xiao Ai, these two will be in your care for the time being."
Looking at Hinazuru Ai, Matsumae Oka and Oshimizu Nako both had incredible expressions on their faces.
Although Sibuwancui had repeatedly emphasized to the two of them before they set off that they must accept all arrangements made by Hinazuru Akina, even if the requests were a bit unreasonable, they had to accept them calmly as long as they did not violate their bottom line.
But it is still a little difficult to accept that they should be managed by a primary school student.
Looking at the expressions of the two, Hinazuru Ahinai said, "Sibuwancui placed you in Hinazuru Inn for the purpose of training you, and I am willing to accept you, naturally I also have a purpose for Zi."
"Ai is my child, the heir of Hinazuru Inn. I have nurtured her since she was young. Now she is quite capable in service, cooking, reception and other tasks. I am planning to let her start working in management."
"The waiters at Hinazuru Inn are all formally hired, so it's not easy to use them to train Xiao Ai's management skills. I was originally planning to recruit a few waiters, and it just so happened that Sibuwan Cui sent you here, so I didn't have to spend much effort."
"Don't underestimate Xiao Ai because she is young. But in many things, you may not be as skilled as Xiao Ai."
Hinazuru Akina spoke for a long time, which was rare. It was obvious that she really wanted to cultivate Hinazuru Ai.
Although Matsumae Oka and Oshimizu Nako still find it hard to accept it, they also know that the die is cast, and unless they give up their jobs as waitresses at Hinazuru Ryokan, they will have no choice but to obey.
"I understand, Mom. I will make good arrangements for these two sisters." Hinazuru Ai nodded, and the silly hair on her head twitched.
Hearing that Hinazuru liked to call them sister, the two felt a little better, especially Oshimizu Nako, after all, she already had a little sister at home.
"Here are their messages. Xiao Ai, take a look first. I remember it's time for breakfast, so I can arrange my work."
Hinazuru Ai nodded, took the resumes from the two and read them carefully.
"Oka Matsumae, 16 years old, enthusiastic and energetic at work, but a bit loud and careless..."
"Oshimizu Nako, 17 years old, meticulous and conscientious at work, gentle in character, but a little shy..."
Listening to Hinazuru Ai reading out their resumes, both of them felt a little embarrassed.
"Sister Matsumae, it should be okay for me to call you that, right?" Hinazuru Ai looked at Matsumae Oka.
"Yeah, it's okay." Matsumae Oka nodded.
"The area I'm temporarily in charge of is the private bathing guest rooms on the west side of the main building. There are only six rooms, so the number of people is not too large, but the guests' service requirements are relatively high."
"My idea is that Sister Matsumae, you will be responsible for the cleaning and logistics of four of the rooms. What do you think?"
Hinazuru Ai took out a structural diagram, circled the rooms except the two rooms where Yushan and the other two were, and numbered them three, four, five, and six.
"Why not six rooms?" Matsumae Oka was a little confused.
Xicui Zhuang has a small staff. Even when there are many customers, there are only three waiters. In addition, the chef will occasionally be asked to serve as a waiter as well.
"There are two rooms for the guests I invited, and I will be responsible for all the work alone." Hinazuru Ai said.
Matsumae Oka blinked her eyes. She didn't expect that Hinazuru Ai could generate income for her family at such a young age. Compared to herself, she was many times stronger.
What she didn't know was that Hinazuru Ai had originally intended to pay for all expenses, but Yushan Kazuto insisted on paying, so she had to accept the money. Even so, she gave Yushan Kazuto a 50% discount.
"Then the cleaning and washing of clothes, bedding, etc. will be left to Sister Oshimizu." Hinazuru Ai looked at Oshimizu Nako.
Although Nako Oshimizu is not incapable of receiving guests, she prefers to do jobs that do not require much communication with you.
After hearing what Hinazuru Ai said, Oshimizu Nako actually felt relieved.
"Also, the telephone reception work for these four guest rooms will depend on who is free. This is the paging number for the private hot spring room on the west side of the main building. I'll give it to Sister Oshimizu first. When Sister Oshimizu goes to clean the guest rooms, I'll give it to Sister Matsumae. Is that okay with you guys?"
Hinazuru Ai placed a special phone that looked like a pager on the table. Oshimizu Nako and Matsumae Oka both nodded, and Hinazuru Ai handed the pager to Oshimizu Nako.
"Here are the check-in and check-out times for the four rooms, as well as various check-in requirements. Sister Oshimizu, please take a look and familiarize yourself with them."
Hinazuru Ai distributed two copies of the information to Matsumae Oka and Oshimizu Nako and said.
"Sister Matsumae, you can also take a quick look. It also lists the breakfast contents and time for each room. When you go to the kitchen, just tell the waiter your room number and she will tell you where the breakfast is."
"Also, you have to remember that you can only pick up your food five minutes before the breakfast time you booked. All breakfasts are freshly made, and my mother has high requirements for the freshness of the food."
Listening to what Hinazuru Ai said, both of them couldn't help but show a look of surprise in their eyes.
Although from the outside, Hinazuru Ryokan and Kisui-so seem similar, both have this simple Japanese style.
However, in terms of actual detail management, Kicui-so is no match for Hinazuru Ryokan.
The two of them also understood why Hinazuru Ryokan is a high-end hot spring hotel and Kicui-so is a mid-range hot spring hotel.
"Of course, these are just the arrangements for the next two days.
After the guests go back, they will rearrange the work.”
"Although the work is not very tiring, there are many detailed requirements. You can check the waiter manual for these. If you need me to explain, it may take two days before I can explain in detail."
"Mother told me that both of you work during the day, but Hinazuru Hotel doesn't have many services at night, and these rooms are private bath rooms, so the bathhouse cleaning work will not be arranged at night, so don't worry."
The two were almost stunned by the way Hinazuru loved the little adult.
I didn't expect that although Hinazuru Ai is not very old, she is very clear about these things. Comparing herself with them, both of them actually felt a little embarrassed.
Although she is usually serious about her work, there is a huge difference between her and Hinazuru Ai.
"Okay, now both of you go change your clothes. They are in the locker room. Your names are on the lockers."
Since Sibuwancui had already discussed this with Hinazuru Ahinai, these things had already been prepared.
"Although the work clothes of Kicui-so are not bad, this is Hinazuru Inn, so we have to change into the work clothes of Hinazuru Inn."
"After you change, Sister Matsumae, come with me. It's breakfast time and it's time to deliver food to the guest rooms."
Chapter 636 It's You! Yushan Kazuto!
Three set meals were placed on a tray in front of Hinazuru Ai, almost completely covering her body. Matsumae Oka was also holding a tray, standing aside, looking at Hinazuru Ai, wanting to help but unable to free her hands.
However, although Hinazuru Ai walked with some difficulty, her steps were still steady.
Moreover, she has lived in Hinazuru Hotel since she was a child and is very familiar with everything about Hinazuru Hotel.
When others saw her, they would deliberately avoid her, so she finally arrived at the guest room area safely.
Hinazuru Ai put down the tray in her hand and was about to knock on the door. Matsumae Oka, who was standing next to Hinazuru Ai, also put down the tray and was about to knock on the door, but was glanced at by Hinazuru Ai.
"Sister Matsumae, it's not this room, it's the one across the street. The breakfast time for this room is 9:40. If you knock on the door, you will wake up the guest."
Hearing Hinazuru Ai's reminder, Matsumae Oka hurriedly took out the information that Hinazuru Ai had given her before.
As expected, I got the wrong room. If Hinazuru hadn't reminded me, the consequences of waking up the guests would have been disastrous.
If I had made such a big mistake less than half an hour into my work, it would be inevitable for me to return the product to Hinazuru Akina.
At that time, not only would he lose face, but Sibuwan Cui would also lose face.
If she angered Sibumancui, Matsumae Ouka didn't dare to think any further.
He hurriedly carried the set meal to the opposite room. The soup in the bowl was a little turbulent, but fortunately it did not spill.
Hinazuru Ai glanced at Matsumae Oka's tray and breathed a sigh of relief.
The rules at Hinazuru Ryokan are very strict. If the soup is spilled, you must go to the kitchen to replace it.
If you only lose one breakfast, it is not a big deal. However, the kitchen will not prepare multiple servings of the same breakfast. It must be made on the spot. If you want to change it, you can only wait for the kitchen to cook it again.
If the food has to be rearranged, delaying the guests' meal would be a big deal.
