It’s not easy to be an interstellar chef

Chapter 267

Wang Zhixin was puzzled: "What do you mean I asked my child to help me improve my sales? I am doing this for the child's own good, do you understand?"

"What do you mean by this is for the good of the children? I think you are asking us to spend money just because you are afraid that we won't be able to sell them."

Seeing that the two old people were about to quarrel, Qiao Zhiyan had to step in to smooth things over: "Wait a moment, let's talk it over. There's no need for a family to quarrel."

As soon as Qiao Zhiyan opened his mouth, they remembered that there were guests at home. In order not to be rude in front of the guests, the old couple glared at each other and shut up angrily.

Qiao Zhiyan first explained to Grandma Wang: "Uncle Wang's words make sense. Uncle Wang's health data is much better now than at the beginning. Our pilot project is to confirm that three meals a day are more beneficial to the body than simply taking nutritional supplements."

The health of children is the Achilles' heel of every parent. When Grandma Wang heard that doing so would be good for the body, she immediately asked, "Really?"

"Really?" Qiao Zhiyan pointed at Wang Zhixin and said, "Do you think Uncle Wang looks much better?"

Grandma Wang glanced at her husband and snorted, "It's so dark, who can tell?"

Of course, even though she said that, she actually knew that her husband looked a little different. She couldn't say exactly what the difference was, but he looked healthier.

If Su Chaoqi were here, he would be able to tell the specific changes in Uncle Wang's expression. After all, among the three methods of diagnosis, observation comes first.

Thinking of this, Grandma Wang calmed down a little, but she still felt a little sad: "How much does it cost to eat every day?"

Wang Zhixin generously sent a card to his wife's computer: "Use it as you like."

Grandma Wang glanced at her balance, which showed five thousand star coins, and her heart started beating wildly: "So much?"

Of course it’s more. Yanhuang Star is not short of money, but it is short of energy stones, so in order to compensate, the money is given generously.

Then Grandma Wang saw a line of words: "Designated for use in the community canteen."

The excitement in my heart was suddenly dampened.

Since I can’t withdraw the money, I can only spend it in the cafeteria. No wonder this old man is so generous.

"Besides, you don't have to go there every day," Qiao Zhiyan said, "You just need to support us in the early stage. Once we are successful, you don't have to eat in the cafeteria every day."

But by then, Grandma Wang herself might not want to eat in the cafeteria anymore.

Grandma Wang thought this was acceptable and agreed.

Qiao Zhiyan slept on the sofa in the Wang family's living room for a while, and then the landlord came to change the furniture, and Qiao Zhiyan chose the room in the living room to move in.

Dinner was still served at Wang's house, but Wang Zhixin's son Wang Liang and his wife also came back in the evening, so there were seven people eating together. Wang Zhixin and Qiao Zhiyan prepared five dishes, but they were all eaten up.

Apart from Wang Zhixin and Qiao Zhiyan, the two children ate the most.

But it's normal. Children of this age are in the period of growing up and can eat a certain amount.

Wang Zhixin told Grandma Wang: "Don't give them nutritional supplements at night. They can't eat them."

Although Grandma Wang nodded, she still secretly prepared nutritional supplements to give to the children when they were hungry.

But neither of the two children seemed hungry, and they went to bed happily when it was time to go to bed.

The next day, Wang Zhixin got up early and made breakfast for his family. He went out without caring whether they wanted to eat or not.

Qiao Zhiyan had already opened the door of the community canteen and started cooking breakfast in the kitchen.

Wang Zhixin couldn't help but say, "Boss Qiao, why don't you eat with our family today?"

Qiao Zhiyan shook his head: "Don't bother me anymore. Besides, I can test the kitchen today to see if there is anything that needs improvement."

This reason was very legitimate, and Wang Zhixin was speechless for a moment. He looked around the community canteen, and in the end he could only let the cleaning robot clean it. There was nothing else to do.

"You can go back now," Qiao Zhiyan looked up and said to him, "Today is supposed to be your day off."

"How can we really have a holiday?" Wang Zhixin smiled. "Just wait and see. Others will be here soon."

They all joked that they were sent to the frontier this time, so there was no way they could stay at home peacefully for the holiday.

Qiao Zhiyan stopped talking, and sure enough, other people came over one after another.

Qiao Zhiyan didn't chase them away. After waiting for a while, the projector and shelves that Minister Jiang mentioned were delivered. After receiving the goods, they started to install them.

These tasks were easy for them, and soon the community canteen had a large display and a row of shelves three meters long and one and a half meters high. The baskets were placed at a thirty-degree angle, allowing people to clearly see what was inside.

Qiao Zhiyan divided the shelves into three areas: one for fresh vegetables of the day, then fruits, and finally fresh meat.

"Meat?" Wang Zhixin exclaimed, "Are we going to sell the meat of exotic animals?"

They have no objection to selling vegetables and fruits, they all have to be sold, but isn’t meat too much of a challenge for the Chefs Association?

Qiao Zhiyan nodded: "We have to differentiate ourselves from the snack stands over there."

The one he was pointing at was the Blue Star snack stall that was preparing to open.

Although the two sides are not on the same level in terms of size, they can be considered as competitors to each other. They must have some advantages in order to grab the business.

"But who will buy it?" Wang Zhixin raised a new difficulty. "No one will do it."

Qiao Zhiyan looked at him and asked, "Can you cook chicken dishes now?" Wang Zhixin paused and said vaguely, "I can cook some."

Qiao Zhiyan nodded: "That's it, there will always be someone who can do it."

What's more, meat is not like vegetables and cannot be stored for too long. It will not go bad as long as it is frozen for a year or two.

His eyes fell on the projector. As long as they played some cooking tutorials continuously in a loop, there would always be people who were curious and wanted to learn. Besides, they could also organize free cooking lessons on weekends. Over time, were they still worried that no one would buy fresh ingredients?

Such an arrangement seems feasible, so let's find a way to start doing it according to this idea.

At noon, everyone cooked a meal in the cafeteria and then went to the dormitory to rest.

They had no objection to the dormitories. After all, they had slept in the most difficult environments when they were in the army. Besides, they were not required to sleep here all day, so they could just make do with it.

In the afternoon, some ingredients were delivered one after another. However, they were rice, soybeans, eggs and other ingredients that can be stored at room temperature. Ingredients that require freshness, such as vegetables and tofu, will be delivered tomorrow morning.

The delivered ingredients must be checked and recorded to ensure the completeness and accuracy of the accounts.

Finally, prepare the ingredients for tomorrow's breakfast. Rice and soybeans need to be soaked in advance so that they can be ground into rice milk and soy milk tomorrow.

Qiao Zhiyan estimated the amount needed and said, "Let's make twenty servings of each breakfast item."

Wang Zhixin was a little shocked: "Isn't this too little?"

Twenty servings of each item are needed to ensure breakfast for fifty people, but there are one or two thousand people in this community.

Qiao Zhiyan was not one to aim too high: "Tomorrow is the first day. If we don't prepare enough, we can just close the store early and prepare lunch. If we prepare too much, you can buy it back?"

That was definitely impossible, so Wang Zhixin shut up.

The store opened at five o'clock the next day. Wang Zhixin and two other people arrived at the community canteen. Of course, Qiao Zhiyan also arrived.

Having experience working in the farm canteen, they quickly assigned tasks to each other and began to prepare.

Some people are responsible for making soy milk, some are responsible for making tofu pudding, some are responsible for making rice cakes, and so on.

Qiao Zhiyan also took the rice, washed it, and started to cook porridge.

Time passed quickly and it was already six o'clock. Some people started to go out for exercise and took a curious look at the newly opened store. Wang Zhixin looked around and saw that they were all old neighbors, so he greeted them loudly and invited them to come in and show their support.

However, everyone had their own things to do, so they just responded briefly and didn't come in.

A bad start.

Qiao Zhiyan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment: "Move the table out, and then put the prepared breakfast on the table."

Since other people are unwilling to come into the store, they put the food out, and maybe someone will be willing to come and take a look.

The idea worked, and they acted quickly.

Although the table was filled with the breakfast they made, no one was interested in eating it. Only a few people were willing to take the initiative to try new things.

Fortunately, Qiao Zhiyan only asked us to make twenty copies.

After waiting for a long time, they finally welcomed the first batch of guests.

Wang Zhixin's family came together. Except for Wang Zhixin, the whole family of five came in person.

But not everyone stayed for breakfast.

Wang Zhixin's son Wang Liang and his wife had already taken nutritional supplements and just came to check on their father's work situation.

After all, their workplace is not close to here, so how can they have time to come back for lunch?

However, Wang Zhixin still discussed with them: "Take two rice cakes with you, they are delicious."

Both Wang Liang and Mrs. Wang refused, thinking it was unnecessary.

However, when they looked at the empty cafeteria, they felt that they should still support their father's work, so they said they would definitely come back for dinner.

Wang Zhixin thought to himself that you guys just thought I wanted you to come.

But Grandma Wang brought her granddaughter and grandson to eat here.

Faced with a dazzling array of food, the three of them all had difficulty making decisions, and then they turned to Wang Zhixin for help, asking him to help them choose.

Of course Wang Zhixin wanted them to order all the breakfast items.

But that's impossible, they can't eat so much.

Then he ordered three different breakfasts for three people.

Grandma Wang had vegetable porridge and eggs, the eldest granddaughter Wang Lei had rice rolls and soy milk, and the youngest grandson Wang Mao had sweet tofu pudding and rice paste pancakes.

Wang Zhixin had made some of these breakfasts at home and some had not, but they couldn't wait to eat them as soon as they were served.

Of course, the taste is excellent, especially for Wang Mao. Children just like sweet food, just like children's nutritional supplements are all sweet, and this sweet tofu pudding completely hits his heart.
