Soon, Yuan Zhou texted Su Ruoyan and Mao Ye to come back to work after the Lunar New Year.
Su Ruoyan had no problem at all. She obediently agreed and wished her boss a happy New Year.
However, there was a small problem with Mao Ye.
[Xiao Mao, I was supposed to work on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year. Now I have something to do and need to delay for two days. Come back to work on the tenth day.] Yuan Zhou explained the cause and effect in a short sentence.
[Boss, happy New Year. I'm already back. I plan to come back to work tomorrow. Don't worry, I'll just rest normally.] Mao Ye's reply was also very straightforward.
The little girl told him that she was already back on the sixth night of the Lunar New Year. Other people thought that she didn't have enough leave, but she came back early.
[Isn't it supposed to be the ninth day of the Lunar New Year? Why are you back so early? Have you dealt with your family matters?] Yuan Zhou asked carefully.
[Thank you for your concern, boss. I've already dealt with it. I'm already embarrassed that I took leave before the Lunar New Year. I must come back to work early.] ]
Mao Ye only found out after she went back that Yuan Zhou had already paid her last month's salary before the Lunar New Year. He didn't deduct her salary just because she asked for leave. It was a full salary. She must want to come back early to make up for it.
Also, she contacted Mu Xiaoyun and found out that the boss opened the restaurant on the first day of the Lunar New Year. She had to cook and deal with the customers, so she decided to come back early and during the day. She wanted to work more and be worthy of Yuan Zhou's salary.
[Okay, then be careful. Tell me if you need anything.] ]
[Okay, boss. See you tomorrow.] ]
Yuan Zhou thought that Mao Ye was planning to come to the pub tomorrow. That was good. He could buy an early ticket and leave on the eighth night of the Lunar New Year. He was very relieved to leave the pub to Mao Ye.
He would buy an early ticket and arrive at Jiangdu earlier so he could see Yin Ya earlier. Yuan Zhou was still a little nervous at the thought of meeting his future mother-in-law.
Although it was the Lunar New Year, it was rare to see the sun in the morning in Chengdu. It was always gray. Every morning when Yuan Zhou got up to run, it was still dark outside.
For Yuan Zhou, who had sharp senses, he could still see it. Moreover, he grew up in this area, so he was very familiar with every brick and tile.
The Standby Noodle House was about to open for business today, which meant that there would be another 100 servings of breakfast.
After running back to the second floor, he washed up and went back to the restaurant. He opened a door, intending to eat noodles across the street.
The signboard for noodles to be served was already out. The dense mist drifted in the white morning light, giving people a feeling of being surrounded by clouds and mist.
"Give me a bowl of noodles," Yuan Zhou shouted as soon as he entered the door.
"You're here. It's Boss Yuan. You're really punctual. I knew you were coming and the noodles were already in the pot. They'll be ready soon," the boss said intimately.
Not long after, a bowl of noodles was placed in front of Yuan Zhou with a fried egg in the bowl. The egg was fried to a golden color on both sides, lying quietly on the snow-white noodles. Together with the green vegetable leaves and the dark-colored sauce, it looked quite appetizing. The boss's cooking skills were quite good.
"So rich today?" Yuan Zhou took a look at the noodles and said.
"Boss Yuan, didn't you give me a good idea yesterday? I still need your help. It will definitely be very troublesome. I'll treat you to some noodles today. Boss Yuan, you don't need to stand on ceremony with me," said the boss of the noodle shop.
"Okay. Thank you, boss." Yuan Zhou thought it was a courtesy to return the favor, so he didn't stand on ceremony.
"Slurp, slurp". Yuan Zhou picked up the chopsticks and started to eat the noodles.
Yuan Zhou's eating time was basically fixed. Usually, it would be about eight minutes from the time the noodles were served to the time he finished eating.
But today, the boss prepared in advance and finished the noodles three minutes earlier than usual.
After Yuan Zhou finished eating, the boss went out to clear the table and then asked, "Boss Yuan, about the application, I thought about it. What if someone takes advantage of it? Some businesses obviously don't use it, so they put the money into their own pockets. "
"I'm not speculating with the worst idea. It's just that there are good people and bad people, and there are also people who like to take advantage of others." The boss said, "If the noodles are eaten by others, it's not a waste. But if it directly goes into others' pockets, it's like Boss Yuan writing a bowl of noodles almost every day. It's also a waste of his efforts!"
Regarding this point, Xiong Nengxiong also thought of it. Yuan Zhou explained, "There's a report function for the noodles. If someone reports it, he or she will be blacklisted by the Chef's Alliance."
"Indeed, there are many people who take advantage of others and many people who take risks for money. But the money for a few bowls of noodles can't make people take risks."
"And it's quite serious to be blacklisted by the Chef's Alliance."
As a director of the Chef's Alliance, it was quite easy for Yuan Zhou to accomplish this matter. The key was that it was a positive thing in itself.
"Oh, oh, oh. In that case, I'm relieved." The boss let out a sigh of relief. He just didn't want the noodles of a kind-hearted person to go to the place where it should go.
"Boss Yuan is really awesome. He has taken all aspects into consideration." The boss praised.
"It's the professional I consulted who is awesome. Not only this point, but also the possible price difference caused by the noodles to be used." Yuan Zhou said.
While they were talking, another two customers came to the noodle shop. Yuan Zhou then left. After he went back to the restaurant, he took a short rest and then started to cook breakfast.
Yuan Zhou felt the noodles today were very delicious, so he prepared the Zhajiang Noodles for breakfast. After kneading the noodles, he put them aside and woke them up. Then, Yuan Zhou began to make the Zhajiang Noodles.
The Zhajiang Noodles originated from Yan Jing, but it was really popular in Lu Province. Therefore, it was classified as Shandong Cuisine.
There was also the Zhajiang Noodles in Sichuan Cuisine, but it was a little different from the Zhajiang Noodles in Shandong Cuisine.
The Zhajiang Noodles cooked by Yuan Zhou was the authentic Shandong Cuisine. He took out the fresh pork and other ingredients and cut them into small pieces, intending to make the Zhajiang Noodles later.
Moreover, the yellow sauce that Yuan Zhou intended to use to stir-fry the Zhajiang Noodles was made by Yuan Zhou himself last year. It was the first time for him to use it.
"Hiss"
After the oil in the wok started to smoke, Yuan Zhou first poured the diced pork, green beans, soybeans, shiitake mushrooms, and other small diced vegetables into the wok and stir-fried them for a while. Then, he added the late cooked diced vegetables into the wok and stir-fried them for a while to make the Zhajiang Noodles into the wok.
The Zhajiang Noodles cooked by Yuan Zhou were different from the ordinary ones that only had some diced pork, onions, ginger, and garlic. Of course, it was also different from vegetarian sauces such as San Xian Sauce or Egg Zhajiang Noodles. In the Zhajiang Noodles, a lot of vegetables and diced pork were stir-fried together to make the Zhajiang Noodles richer.
After stir-frying the Zhajiang Noodles, Yuan Zhou saw that the noodles were almost awake. Then, he directly picked them up and started to knead the noodles. He divided them into small portions and put them on the chopping board. After the customers came in, he could put them into the wok one by one.
The amount of each portion was about three taels, which was basically the normal amount that a person needed in the morning. Yuan Zhou estimated that it would not be a problem. In fact, the amount was not a problem. The biggest problem was that it was made by Yuan Zhou.
After everything was ready, Yuan Zhou walked out of the kitchen, intending to open the door and let the customers into the restaurant.
"Good morning, Boss. Happy New Year!" Before he reached the door, he saw a small head poking in. It was none other than Mao Ye.
Why did Mao Ye come in so early?
