"Aunt Zhou Qing, there weren't many people living in the building before. Can you sell out all the food you cook?"

Yu Xi held the silver plate in both hands, pretending to think about what dishes to order for lunch, and pretending to casually comment on the restaurant's business situation.

Bo Zhiya, the know-it-all about news, had already told Zhou Qing about the appearance of the first catering partner in the building, and described Yu Xi's appearance to her.

There is quite a chivalrous spirit that regards Zhou Qing as a powerful enemy.

So Zhou Qing recognized at a glance that the simple and capable woman with short ear-length hair, a blue sweater on her upper body, and black trousers on her lower body was the only catering partner in the building.

Shen Ruoran is responsible for the profit and loss of the restaurant. Zhou Qing is just a part-time worker. He spends public funds to buy food. When customers come to dine in the restaurant, they also transfer their wealth from the building's account, which has nothing to do with Zhou Qing.

Although he could tell what Yu Xi really wanted to ask, Zhou Qing did not reveal it. He held a spoon and tapped on the pickled fish:
"I usually control the quantity. People in the building have good appetites, so they basically only have a little bit left. A few times I didn't even have the soup base left. The pickled fish is a new product in the restaurant. Do you want some?"

Yu Xi also wanted to get more catering information from Zhou Qing, but he didn't dare to offend her face and kept asking for it.

Reach over the plate to catch it.

"Auntie, this is what I will eat as a meat dish. Then think about what to eat as a vegetarian dish."

"By the way, there aren't usually many leftovers, so Auntie must be making a lot of money, right?"

When queuing up to order food at the restaurant, Yu Xi declined Huang Xinyue's invitation to queue up to eat together, and walked slowly at the end.

The reason is to get more information from Zhou Qing.

Her life creed has always been very clear: to do the best when you want to do it, to do your best, to do it and to try your best.

Therefore, Yu Xi hopes that the restaurant he opens should be one that people in the building praise and frequent.

Knowing that Yu Xi would definitely be dilly-dallying for a while, Zhou Qing took out a new dinner plate from the other side and made himself a meal first.

One spoonful of pickled fish, one spoonful of shredded pork with green pepper, and another spoonful of fried winter melon.With two meats and one vegetable as standard, Zhou Qing, the restaurant chef and dishwasher, will naturally fully enjoy the benefits of his job.

There was no reply for a long time. Just when Yu Xi was considering his words and wanted to ask again, Zhou Qing took another pair of chopsticks and put them on the dinner plate.

"We'll sit down and eat together later. If you have anything to ask, let's talk while eating. Now I'll get you some food."

Yu Xi's cheeks turned red in embarrassment when her thoughts were exposed. She did not hide it and admitted generously: "Okay, thank you, Auntie."

Finding an empty seat at a four-person table, Zhou Qing waved his hand for Yu Xi to sit across from her, "What do you call me?"

"Yu Xi, Aunt Zhou Qing, just call me Xiao Yu."

Zhou Qing: "Xiao Yu, the first time we spoke, you called me by my full name. Who told you?"

Several veteran employees/tenants such as Lai Yecheng and Chen Moxin actually did not know Zhou Qing's surname. They all called Bo Zhiya "Aunt Qing".

When Yu Xi accurately called out the word "Zhou Qing", Zhou Qing already knew the answer in his heart.

"The poster told me, and you should have guessed that the position I was applying for was a catering partner. This profession, like yours, requires you to be responsible for your own profits and losses."

"During a brief conversation with the landlord, I detailed my concerns about opening a store, and she suggested that I ask you what kind of additional dining options you would recommend in the building."

As for asking about profits, Shen Ruoran certainly didn't mention this. It was Yu Xi who wanted to know.

The store she opened and the restaurant were either competitors for business, or they were complementary food partners.
