These thoughts flashed through Yuan Zhou's mind. Then he checked the time and went to prepare the ingredients. After all, the most important thing was to entertain the customers.
On the other side of Taoxi Road, some people also began to run towards the restaurant.
"Trust me, it's absolutely no problem. Ruoruo, hurry up. If you don't hurry up, you won't be able to get a seat," Feng Dan urged.
Since Feng Dan lost weight because of her ex-boyfriend, her weight had been maintained at about 50 kilograms. But recently, she had grown to 110 kilograms.
Just like what Jiang Changxi and Feng Dan said when they were having a meal, if she became fat one day, it meant that she had found a food-feeder. Now, Jiang Changxi's figure was still standard, but Feng Dan had reached 110 kilograms ahead of her.
Because she had a boyfriend three months ago, she had gained almost 5 kilograms, which was an average of 3.3 kilograms per month. But Feng Dan didn't lose out, because her boyfriend was also gaining weight, and he was no less than her.
It couldn't be helped. They were together, and they both liked to eat. Tonight, they would say, "I know a good barbecue restaurant." Tomorrow, they would say, "Let's have kebabs today." And the day after, they would say, "Let's go, crayfish. Don't you want to eat it?"
Under such circumstances, it would be strange if she didn't gain weight. Just like that, Feng Dan and her boyfriend hurt each other.
But today, Feng Dan didn't come to the restaurant with her boyfriend. Instead, she came with her best friend, Ruoruo.
Recently, Ruoruo had entered a state of anorexia. To be precise, it was a state of stage anorexia. It seemed that there would always be a period of time in a year when she didn't want to eat anything, but there was no reason.
Anorexia and anorexia were two different things, just like depression and depression were two different things.
The biggest feature of the former was that it wasn't that she had no appetite or that she would vomit after eating. It was that she was obviously hungry, but she didn't want to move or look for food. Only when she was really hungry would she eat something to replenish her energy.
"When you eat the food cooked by Boss Yuan, you'll know that you've made a fortune. At that time, you'll come to line up yourself," Feng Dan said.
As a native of Chengdu, Ruoruo naturally knew about the Yuanzhou shop. She had even been promoted on the internet. She had visited the shop twice, but she didn't get a ticket because she didn't come at the right time. Ruoruo thought it was too troublesome and never came again.
Yuanzhou shop was delicious, very delicious. There was no doubt about it. Ruoruo had never doubted this. Even when she went out for a meal with friends, she still used Yuanshang to find a shop.
The restaurant had three major units, "Yuan", "Wu", and "Hai". They were all hyped up by short videos. Ruoruo, who followed the fashion closely, also knew about them.
But back to the topic at hand, Ruoruo, who thought she knew the Yuanzhou shop very well, didn't believe that she would line up by herself like Feng Dan had said. When she was anorexic, other than going to the toilet and bed, the only place she could go was far away.
Under such circumstances, how could he possibly line up by himself?
Regardless of what Ruoruo was thinking, she had just finished breakfast early in the morning when Feng Dan pulled her over to get a number plate for the fourth batch. Strictly speaking, it was pretty good.
"Oh no!" Feng Dan, who was in line, suddenly shouted.
Ruoruo asked, "What's wrong? Didn't we get a spot in the line? "
"I remember now. Big Sis Jiang treated me to a drink, and I said I would treat her back next time," Feng Dan said. "But it dragged on for half a year."
Big Sis Jiang and Big Sis Jiang. Although there was only a big difference of one word, it felt like the level of pretentiousness had been pulled down.
"Hmm …" Ruoruo indicated that she didn't want to talk. This little sister of hers was like a goldfish, and her memory only lasted for seven seconds. She would often forget what she said in the blink of an eye.
The most typical thing that Feng Dan did at home every day was to look for her phone. She would place it beside her, but after a few seconds, she would forget about it.
"Then you can just apologize and invite her back. It's fine," Ruoruo said.
Feng Dan nodded. That was right.
There were many regular customers in line for lunch today, such as Fang Heng, Wan, Chen Wei, Zheng Xian, and others.
As for why, it was because Shin Min had already told her close friends that she was leaving Chengdu.
In fact, the regular customers of the pub had a good relationship with Shin Min. After all, they had met many times. For example, Zheng Xian would even buy a gift bag of snacks for Shin Min during holidays.
So they all came to ask if the time for the farewell banquet had been confirmed. Zheng Xian and others wanted to prepare a farewell gift for the young lady.
"Looks like the hiring of employees is urgent." Yuan Zhou pondered in his heart.
Since the opening of the pub, the first employee was Mu Jieyun. Then, because Mu Jieyun courted death and broke his leg, he became the little loli Mu Xiaoyun. Speaking of which, the first employee should be Mu Xiaoyun.
Then, the second employees Zhou Jia and Shin Min. Now, it was time to hire the third employee.
He had just called Mu Xiaoyun the day before yesterday. She had already grown from a little loli of fifteen to nineteen years old. She had just started her freshman year and had a lot of work to do, so she didn't have time.
Yuan Zhou's plan to recall the first employee failed.
"I wonder if the new employees are as worry-free as Jia Jia and Little Min." Yuan Zhou muttered to himself.
Yuan Zhou let out a slight sigh and temporarily put these miscellaneous things behind him. Now, the most important thing was to serve the delicacies to them.
The first, second and third batches had been eaten up. It was time for the fourth batch.
Feng Dan paid special attention to it. Today, Jiang Changxi didn't come. It seemed that she could only wait for the next time. However, she took out her phone and wrote it down with a memo. Otherwise, she would definitely forget.
"What would you like to eat today?" Zhou Jia asked.
Ruoruo and Feng Dan ordered bitter gourd, pork belly chicken, and two bowls of plain white rice from the 100 Styles of Rice Cuisine.
In order to let Ruoruo eat, Feng Dan, her best friend, went all out. Two of the three dishes were Ruoruo's favorite dishes.
Yes, it was pork belly chicken and bitter gourd. Although Ruoruo was from Chengdu, she went to school in Guangdong Province with her parents. Therefore, even if she worked in Chengdu now, her favorite dishes were Cantonese cuisine.
"Although I haven't eaten Boss Yuan's Cantonese cuisine, I can tell you that all the dishes on the menu are delicious." Feng Dan said while salivating.
Ruoruo nodded and didn't say anything. The two of them waited quietly for the dishes.
The first dish was the Saliva Chicken, a classic cold dish of Sichuan Province.
The white chicken was covered with red chili oil and sprinkled with white sesame seeds. Even without eating, Feng Dan wanted to drool just by looking at it.
"I won't stand on ceremony." While speaking, Feng Dan picked up the chicken with her chopsticks. The chili oil wrapped the chicken and didn't drip down. Feng Dan hurriedly stuffed it into her mouth. The slightly cool texture and the stimulating numb and spicy taste instantly filled her mouth as if her taste buds were awakened.
The most important thing was that Yuan Zhou's Saliva Chicken not only had a strong taste, but also a chicken taste. After all, it was the Little Fragrant Chicken provided by the system. Moreover, the soup and heat control of the chicken were also very precise.
"It's delicious." Feng Dan said while eating.
It should be able to conquer Feng Dan's heart. Two years ago, when it was the Sichuan Cuisine Exemplary Restaurant, even the comment group led by Lee Yanyi was instantly conquered.
The Saliva Chicken got this name because of the numbness of the pepper, which made people salivate unconsciously when they ate it.
However, Yuan Zhou's Saliva Chicken could be made into a "three-water" dish. When people saw it, ate it, and thought of it, they would all salivate.
Not long after, Ruoruo's favorite dishes, bitter gourd and Pork Belly Wrapped Chicken, were also served.
Ruoruo, who hadn't moved her chopsticks just now and didn't have any appetite, became slightly spirited when she smelled the familiar fragrance.
It was an extremely faint medicinal fragrance mixed with a slight spicy aroma of white pepper. It was just like the spicy aroma of the Saliva Chicken when Feng Dan smelled it. This aroma instantly aroused Ruoruo's appetite.
"This Pork Belly Wrapped Chicken smells so good." Ruoruo couldn't help saying.
Pork Belly Wrapped Chicken was to wrap the raw chicken with the pig's belly and then tie the front and back ends tightly.
Excluding the quality of the ingredients, such as the pig's belly and chicken, the first step was done this way. The second step started to change, which was to put the wrapped pig's belly into the soup.
How to boil the soup? If the chefs in Guangdong Province could give you ten or twenty different ways to boil the soup, how to boil the soup?
Yuan Zhou used jade bamboo, mushrooms, codonopsis, red dates, gastrodia elata, and other ingredients. He also added some white pepper to enhance the smell of the soup.
It was so fragrant that Ruoruo couldn't help but pick it up with her chopsticks. The pig's belly absorbed the fresh fragrance of the chicken. In one bite, the pig's belly was soft and slightly chewy, while the chicken was tender and smooth. It was a double meat flavor spreading in her mouth.
She took another sip of the soup. It was warm and there was no fishy smell of the internal organs at all. Instead, it matched perfectly with the white pepper.
She simply couldn't stop. Ruoruo took one bite after another. As for having no appetite, what was that? Could it be eaten?
Feng Dan asked, "How is it? It tastes good, right?"
"It's so delicious," Ruoruo said. "Although I know that Boss Yuan's cooking is very good, this pig's belly wrapped chicken is a common delicacy in Guangdong Province. For him to be able to make it this good, it's practically cheating."
Feng Dan smiled proudly. After all, she was the one who had pulled her over, so her words sounded good.
After a pause, she said, "If you have an appetite, then eat more."
"Who wouldn't have an appetite when faced with this kind of delicacy?" Ruoruo said.
She really did have an appetite. The pig's belly wrapped chicken was not a small portion. Ruoruo actually ate more than half of it by herself. There was also the bitter gourd, which she didn't leave for Feng Dan.
Of course, it wasn't that she didn't want to give it to her best friend, but that her best friend didn't know how to appreciate it.
"Why would anyone eat something like bitter gourd? Bitter gourds are bitter," Feng Dan saw Ruoruo eating with relish and couldn't help but mutter.
Ruoruo said, "It's not bitter. If you don't believe me, try it."
"Nonsense, why would a bitter gourd be called a bitter gourd if it wasn't bitter? When I was young, my grandpa also told me that it wasn't bitter. He tricked me into eating one, and then … hehe, "Feng Dan said with a chuckle.
"It's true. I'm not lying." Ruoruo finished the bitter gourd in two mouthfuls.
But no matter what Ruoruo said, Feng Dan refused to eat the bitter gourd. In Feng Dan's words, she believed in Boss Yuan's cooking skills, and she also believed that Boss Yuan could make something she didn't like taste delicious. But the menu was so rich, and there were five cuisines that she clearly liked, as well as delicacies that she hadn't tried before. Why did she have to eat something she didn't like?
Ruoruo didn't try to persuade her anymore. She ate even more happily.
"No wonder the internet said that Boss Yuan is the number one chef in the country. In other restaurants, it's already good enough to have one or two delicious dishes as their signature dishes. But here, all the dishes are so delicious. The bitter gourd is also the best I've ever had."
The two finished eating.
Ruoruo's first thought after walking out of the restaurant was, "It seems that in the future, other than going to the toilet, bed, and Yuanzhou shop, everything else is far away."
She threw the thought that it was impossible for her to come to line up to the back of her mind. Tonight, she would come to line up and have another meal!
After seeing off the last batch of customers, lunchtime came to an end. After he finished sculpting the One Hundred Men and Eight Generals in Water Margin quickly, Yuan Zhou came to the Chef's Association.
How could a unit like the Chef's Association not be busy? Since he had told Yuan Zhou in advance, Zhou Shijie prepared enough time for Yuan Zhou.
At the beginning, Zhou Shijie was worried that Yuan Zhou would waste time, so he prepared to tell Yuan Zhou that he would come to the restaurant by himself. But he was immediately turned down by Yuan Zhou. How could he let an elder come to the restaurant by himself?
No matter how many times he came to the Chef's Association Building, Yuan Zhou would feel that there were too many things to manage.
Because it was divided into the membership department, the international department, the exhibition department, the information department, the personnel department, the industry development department, etc.
There were also the Fast Food Professional Committee, the Famous Chef Committee, the Western Food Professional Committee, the Gourmet Nutrition Professional Committee, and so on. There were too many branches.
In fact, it was not strange that the national Chef's Association was also located in Chengdu like the Sichuan Cuisine Association.
The reason was very simple. UNESCO had awarded the title of "Gourmet Capital" to seven cities. Among them, three cities in China had been awarded the title: Chengdu, Shunde, and Macau. Therefore, it was naturally understandable that the Chef's Association was established in Chengdu.
After entering Zhou Shijie's office, Yuan Zhou and Zhou Shijie started brainstorming. Zhou Shijie had seen a lot of storms, so he also raised two possibilities. Yuan Zhou tried it in the kitchen of the Chef's Association on the spot … but it didn't work.
"The technology of real perfume is too difficult to restore. There is too little information left." Zhou Shijie couldn't help sighing with emotion and then advised, "Yuan, don't be too stubborn. This real perfume might have been created by several generations of chefs, or it might have been accidentally inspired. It can't be done in a hurry."
"I know, Uncle Zhou." Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
After quite a while, Zhou Shijie said again, "I'm looking forward to the legendary Roast Whole Cow in Zama Banquet very much."
The invitation letter had been sent to the elders by Yuan Zhou before.
"Don't worry, Uncle Zhou. I will give you a surprise." Yuan Zhou was talking about the bull-dismembering knife.
Zhou Shijie thought Yuan Zhou was talking about the lost dish of Zama Banquet. The Roast Whole Lamb in Zama Banquet had already amazed him.
"By the way, if you want to restore the real perfume, Yuan, you can talk to Steamed Bun Ji," Zhou Shijie said.
The Steamed Bun Ji mentioned by Zhou Shijie was naturally the Master of Cooked Wheaten Food, Ji Yi.
Yuan Zhou came to his senses and thought, "That makes sense. The real perfume is added to the noodles. Maybe the Master of Cooked Wheaten Food has a way. After all, everyone has his own specialization."
On the way back to the restaurant from the Chef's Association, Yuan Zhou specially bought two red packets. Then, he went upstairs to look for something. Finally, he found the A4 recruitment paper that he had used last time in the cabinet where the leave slips were usually placed.
That's right. After using it last time, Yuan Zhou said he would save it for the next time. Being thrifty, Yuan Zhou was a man of his word.
Yuan Zhou had kept this A4 recruitment paper very well. It was still brand new, but he had to change it this time.

"Um, that's about it." Yuan Zhou couldn't help nodding his head while looking at the recruitment paper.
The insurance and housing fund were bought by Yuan Zhou after Shin Min got injured. As for the BBQ's business hours, it was also improved.
"The difference between the working hours of the night shift and the day shift is so big, but the salary is the same. Is there a problem?" Yuan Zhou pondered for a while and then shook his head.
He answered his own question, "The night shift has always been harder than the day shift, so there's no problem with this arrangement."
Why was it still the same format of the day shift and the night shift? Yuan Zhou also hoped to leave the opportunity for people like Zhou Jia and Shin Min who worked part-time to study.
As for Zhou Jia and Shin Min, Yuan Zhou looked at the big red envelope stuffed with money and prepared to give it to them when they left.
