"It shouldn't be a problem to go like this." Yuan Zhou lowered his head and looked at the clothes on his body, feeling that there shouldn't be any problem.
Only then did he notice that Yuan Zhou's clothes were different from the Han Costume he usually wore in the restaurant. Also, they were different from the casual and comfortable clothes he wore when he went out on a date with Yin Ya or when he went out to taste dishes by himself. Yuan Zhou's clothes were simpler and seemed to be able to work hard at first sight.
Wearing a simple T-shirt and faded jeans, Yuan Zhou looked like a college student who had just graduated from school.
Although he wasn't familiar with the road, Yin Ya had done a good job. He didn't need to look for her. With the hotel where Yuan Zhou stayed as the central axis, Yuan Zhou soon found the correct route to the place he wanted to go.
Once again, it proved that Yin Ya's preparation was very meticulous, which saved Yuan Zhou a lot of time.
After walking along the road for about 15 minutes, Yuan Zhou saw his destination, a small restaurant named Life Kitchen.
Although it was called a small restaurant, it was really small. It didn't mean that the place was small, but that it was a small business. This time, it was true.
From a distance, Yuan Zhou could see the big LED sign outside the door that said, "Cooking by yourself is free. Helping to cook, meat dishes are 2 RMB and vegetable dishes are 1 RMB."
The small restaurant was a two-story building. According to the information obtained by Yuan Zhou, this small building was the territory of the boss's family. Otherwise, the price wouldn't be so low. The water, electricity, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea weren't even enough, let alone the rent. Naturally, the business couldn't be maintained.
At least, the boss could save on the rent with his own house. He only needed to pay for other small expenses.
Of course, even so, the boss almost couldn't maintain the business. Recently, some officials noticed this place and allocated funds to the boss to repair the territory and also allocated some money to maintain the daily life of the boss. Only then did the boss' Life Kitchen manage to survive with difficulty.
And Yuan Zhou's target this time was this small restaurant surrounded by several hospitals.
"Dadada Ta"
Yuan Zhou hurriedly walked to the entrance of the store. It was still early at the moment, so there were not many people in the store. Standing at the entrance, he could see that the lobby outside was very small. There were only four tables placed against the wall, and there was a small space in the middle.
The most eye-catching thing was definitely the kitchen inside. There were rows of coal stoves, and each of them had a wok for stir-frying. There were about 20 stoves in total. On the other side was the counter, which was also long. There were a few thick chopping boards and a few shiny kitchen knives. It was obvious that they had just been sharpened and were definitely sharp.
Yuan Zhou had only been standing there for two minutes when he attracted the attention of an auntie in her fifties. She was short and plump with short hair. She was wearing a short-sleeved shirt with small flowers on it, a pair of black trousers, and a pair of black cloth shoes on her feet. At a glance, one could tell that she was dressed for work.
"What's the matter, young man? Are you here to cook? The requirements are all written over there. Feel free to take a look. "As she spoke, she pointed at the board outside.
Although it was an LED brand, Yuan Zhou could tell that it was different from the one in his restaurant at a glance. It was not bright at all. It was most likely because it had been used for too long.
"No, I just want to come here to help. I don't know if this place needs people. But I only have a few days' time. Is it okay?" Yuan Zhou asked in a low voice.
"Aiya, young man, you are really kind. It's okay. You are just in time. These few days, Dun Zi and Xiao Li are busy and can't come for a few days. You are just in time. However, Dun Zi needs to know how to cut vegetables. Do you know how to cut vegetables?" Hearing what Yuan Zhou said, the auntie smiled until her eyes squinted. Obviously, she was really happy.
"I know how to cut vegetables. I have practiced before," Yuan Zhou said.
"That's good. Young man, since you are here, you must know what we do here. We are all here to serve everyone. During meal time, we are quite busy. It is quite tiring." Obviously, the auntie was a person who liked to say ugly things first. If she had something to say, she would say it directly.
When Yuan Zhou heard that, he nodded and said, "I know. I will work hard. How should I address you, auntie?"
"Hahaha, my surname is Wu. Just call me Auntie Wu. It is still early now. There is nothing to do. Young man, your place is not far away. You can come over in an hour," Auntie Wu said directly.
Looking at her attitude, she seemed to be very familiar with this task. Most likely, she had received many people like Yuan Zhou, so she was very familiar with him.
Sure enough, after Yuan Zhou said that he would help clean the table and the kitchen, Auntie Wu became a chatterbox. She told Yuan Zhou a lot of things.
Apart from the help from the government, she also said that there would be volunteers coming to help every few days. Although they didn't stay for long, they were all good kids who did practical things.
"Yuan, you are really neat and tidy. Your wife will be blessed in the future," Auntie Wu looked at the kitchen that had become very comfortable and clean after Yuan Zhou cleaned it. She couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Originally, she didn't think that Yuan Zhou was a person who would do such things. Unexpectedly, one couldn't judge a book by its cover.
Although the kitchen was cleaned every day, she wasn't a professional chef after all. Although the kitchen looked clean, it was actually very messy. Of course, this was compared with the result of Yuan Zhou's cleaning today. Auntie Wu had never known that a kitchen could be so comfortable to look at.
"No. I am used to it. As long as Auntie Wu thinks it is good," Yuan Zhou said.
"It is indeed very good. Although I can't tell what's so good about it, I feel comfortable just by looking at it. When those people come, they will definitely like it," Auntie Wu looked around and said.
Following that, Yuan Zhou told Auntie Wu some simple tips on cleaning the kitchen. At this moment, Yuan Zhou didn't look like the Chef King of China whose culinary skills were the best in Asia. Instead, he looked like an ordinary chef.
"It turns out that Yuan has opened a small restaurant. That's really amazing." Auntie Wu had always admired ambitious young people.
She especially admired Yuan Zhou, who was not impetuous and was humble and hardworking. Although she didn't know how famous The Kitchen God was, Auntie Wu had a good impression of Yuan Zhou.
"Auntie Wu, I want Uncle Wang to cook a chicken soup for me today." When it was almost mealtime, a woman in her thirties walked into the restaurant.
Her long hair was tied behind her head and she looked a little tired. However, there was a smile at the corner of her mouth, making her look relaxed.
"What's wrong? Your husband's condition has improved and he can eat meat now?" Auntie Wu was obviously very familiar with the woman. She asked directly.
"This morning, the doctor said that he can eat some protein. He can eat some soup now." While saying that, the smile on the woman's face widened. The tiredness between her eyebrows seemed to have dissipated a little.
"That's great. He is in the initial stage. He will definitely get better. Don't worry." Auntie Wu comforted her and then shouted toward the staircase, "Old Wang, come down quickly. It's noon. Xiao Li wants to cook soup today."
"Coming, coming." Not long after, a deep and resounding voice came from upstairs.
"Dong Dong Dong"
Not long after, a rustling sound came from upstairs. Then, a ball was seen rolling downstairs. It was really a ball.
At least in Yuan Zhou's opinion, the ball was more suitable for the name Yue Ban than Du Yueban himself. Of course, although it was a ball, it was agile and didn't look clumsy at all. It wasn't an exaggeration to call it a nimble fatty.
