Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

night.

Cai Jing stayed in the guest room upstairs for one night and left early in the morning.

Du Shaojie woke up late, sleeping until noon. To be honest, he couldn't drink as much as Cai Jing, and he didn't know how much she could drink.

"Boss, the kitchen made some seafood porridge, you can have some."

After he washed up and went downstairs, Zhang Yufei brought him a big bowl of seafood porridge, a few small steamed buns and a plate of pickles.

The breakfast was very much to his liking. When the hot seafood porridge entered his stomach, he felt warm all over and very comfortable.

Later, Du Shaojie checked the store's accounts. The business was in good condition, with monthly profits stabilizing at around 5 yuan. It would be difficult to see a significant increase in the short term.

"Jianjun, this is good. Let's work hard and don't let the sign that we have worked so hard to put up fall down."

Du Shaojie then had a chat with Xiao Jianjun, Zhang Yong, Zhang Yufei and others. He did not put too much pressure on them and asked them to just hold on to the current fruits of victory.

There are already many restaurants in this area, all of which specialize in seafood and have already grown to a large scale.

Especially during holidays, many people come here with their families to eat seafood, and the customer flow is huge. But the competition is also fierce, with new restaurants opening every month and restaurants closing down every month.

[Seafood House] has become a local "time-honored brand" with a huge customer base. As long as you don't mess around, your business will be good.

"Boss, don't worry, we will definitely keep the fruits of victory."

Xiao Jianjun, Zhang Yong and Zhang Yufei all laughed. If Du Shaojie asked them to continue to expand their territory, they might not be able to do it. But if he asked them to maintain their status quo, there would be absolutely no problem.

Finally, Du Shaojie got up and went to the kitchen.

He had previously researched several seafood dishes, and took this opportunity to exchange ideas with Zhang Yong and others. Nowadays, seafood dishes are no longer his weakness, and Zhang Yong and others were convinced after watching the demonstration.

Next, he rested in Shenzhen for a few days before returning to Guangzhou.

When he arrived at his home in the old street, Du Shaojie opened the mailbox as usual and found several letters inside.

He took the letters into the house and opened them casually. They were all written by Qi Yan. Moreover, the intervals between these letters were very short, basically one letter a day.

The other party actually didn't have anything to do, he just wanted to see Du Shaojie, and every letter asked him when he would go to Beijing.

He doesn't have anything important to do at the moment, so he can go to the capital for a while.

When I was hesitating whether to make the trip, a long-awaited mission was released.

【Ding! 】

[Task: Eat mutton in the cold winter to keep you warm and healthy. Task requirements: Sell 30 servings of [mutton soup] within 3000 days, with a favorable review rate of 90% or more.]

[Reward: 1 exchange points, physical fitness gift pack (×1)]

[Penalty: If the task is not completed on time, you will not be able to receive any rewards within 3 months. ]

Note 1: Mutton soup includes [clear-boiled mutton], [mutton offal soup], [(mutton) bone soup], etc. You can choose any one of them.

Note 2: The mission time starts from three days later.

The task that had not been released for a long time came unexpectedly, and Du Shaojie could no longer stay at home.

The task can only be completed by him personally, and this [mutton soup] seems to be more popular in the north or northwest? The three-day lead time should be the time left for his journey.

He found a reason for himself and planned to go to the capital as soon as possible.

at night.

The sudden rain has just stopped.

Du Shaojie told Liang Meiqin about his itinerary.

"You are the type who likes to move around and can't stay in one place. I don't care about you, as long as you are not afraid of hard work."

Liang Meiqin has been very fond of Du Shaojie since she regained her sight.

She didn't want to ask about the other person's affairs, but just kept reminding him to take care of his health.

"Also, no matter what you have to do, you must come back to Xijiang during the Spring Festival, okay?"

"it is good!"

Du Shaojie's reason was legitimate. He was the boss and of course he needed to inspect all the stores of Xichuan Restaurant regularly.

He also liked this kind of life. He didn't have the conditions before, but now he has them. How can he stay in one place all the time? And he has a hunch that if he always stays at home and works behind closed doors, it will be difficult to break through the ceiling of his cooking skills.

the next day.

Du Shaojie flew directly to Beijing.

The lead time for the task was only three days, and he still had a lot of preparation to do, so he dared not delay for even a minute.

After getting off the plane, he first went to Xichuan Restaurant and met Yu Jianxin and others. When he was not in Beijing, his yard was cleaned and maintained by people sent by Yu Jianxin, but this work could be suspended when he came.

Then he returned home.

The house is very clean inside and out. If no one in Beijing took care of it and it remained vacant, it would probably be uninhabitable.

Du Shaojie washed his face, then lit a fire and boiled a pot of water before taking the dining cart out of the storage space in the yard. He had recycled the dining cart when he left last time, and now it was seeing the light of day again.

To be honest, he really likes setting up stalls, as the fun of it is different from running a restaurant.

One person, one food truck, facing different customers, seeing everyone come with expectations and leave with satisfaction, is a great sense of accomplishment. In the final analysis, he is a down-to-earth person who likes this kind of fireworks.

Of course, the key is that he has no pressure to survive and his mentality is different from others.

There was no heating in the room, but as the temperature inside the fire wall rose, the room quickly became warm.

Du Shaojie cleaned the things he needed, and seeing that it was almost time, he took a bus to the Normal University.

"Shaojie, you really came? I'm so happy."

When Qi Yan saw Du Shaojie, she couldn't hide the surprise in her eyes.

Although she wrote several letters in succession hoping that the other party would come to the capital, that was just a way for her to vent her emotions and she didn't expect the other party to come at all.

But when the other person stood in front of her with a smile on his face, she was immediately surrounded by a great sense of happiness.

"Come on, let's go out for dinner."

Du Shaojie grabbed Qi Yan's hand and was about to pull her out of the school.

Qi Yan suddenly thought of something and said, "Wait for me at the gate for a while, I'll be there soon."

She immediately turned back to the dormitory, packed some things she needed in a small bag, and hurried downstairs.

Du Shaojie waited for a while and Qi Yan came out. So the two of them found a place to eat first, and after dinner they went to his yard together.

The two of them worked for half the night and inevitably got up a little late in the morning.

Qi Yan hasn't been very busy recently, but she can't be away from school all day. After getting up, she ate something and prepared to leave.

"Yanzi, I've been honing my cooking skills lately. I plan to set up a stall outside your school this afternoon. Come find me there then."

Du Shaojie found a reason for setting up a stall. Otherwise, what would Qi Yan think if he, a top chef, always did this?
Sure enough, Qi Yan rolled her eyes at him, but ultimately said nothing.

After the other party left, Du Shaojie also hurried out to buy ingredients. He thought about it for the past two days and decided to make [bone soup] to sell. [Clear Lamb] is more expensive, [Lamb Offal Soup] is too troublesome to prepare the ingredients, so [Bone Soup] is just right.

He was quite familiar with the area, so he first went to a pancake shop and ordered 150 pancakes, asking the shop to make them and deliver them to his home.

Then he went to buy lamb chops. Lamb chops will make the bone soup more refreshing, and carrots can be added as a side dish.

When he got home, he started to prepare the ingredients, then put the washed and cut lamb chops into the soup pot and boiled them until the foam was gone. Then he could add the seasoning bag and simmer slowly over low heat.

Add the carrots later, don't be too anxious.

This soup needs to be simmered for at least two and a half hours, but not too long. It should be simmered until the meat is almost boneless.

Slowly, the aroma of broth began to waft through the kitchen, and the flavor of spices was also gradually released. When the aromas of the two were thoroughly blended together, a pot of fragrant [bone soup] was almost ready.

Seasoning needs to be done before turning off the heat. In addition, some small ingredients also need to be prepared in advance, such as chopped green onions, coriander, and chili oil.

He had lunch at home and also took some time to take a nap.

After four o'clock in the afternoon, Du Shaojie rode his tricycle and walked slowly to the vicinity of the school.

As a result, he was dumbfounded when he arrived at the place. After such a long time, this area was full of various vendors. It was much more lively than when he was selling "Yangchun noodles" here.

After searching for a long time, he finally found an open space. He stopped the food truck and started to make preparations.

The cooked lamb chops have been taken out and placed in a separate thermos bucket. The lamb bone soup is still in the soup pot, heated on the fire to ensure that every customer can eat hot [bone soup].

"Eh? Look, does the stall owner over there look like the one who used to sell [Yang Chun Noodles]?"

As it gets closer to dinner time, there are more customers in this area.

A few female students came out to find food and happened to see Du Shaojie, who looked somewhat familiar.

"Go and have a look."

A few girls walked up to the dining car and took a look at the small blackboard, only to see the words "bone soup" and "flatbread" written on it.

After discussing it, we decided to eat here and try the bone soup.

"Boss, three bowls of [bone soup] and three flatbreads."

"it is good!"

Du Shaojie opened his business. He first took out some lamb chops from the thermos bucket and put them into three lunch boxes, then scooped some hot soup from the boiling soup pot and poured them into the boxes.

After asking the other party clearly about their needs, he sprinkled chopped green onions and coriander.

“Add your own chili oil”

Du Shaojie handed them the [bone soup] and then gave them three flatbreads.

The three girls sat down happily and started to eat. The [bone soup] was rich in aroma, not smelly at all, and very delicious.

There were quite a lot of lamb chops, and the key was that there was still a lot of meat on it, which was very satisfying to eat.

Eating meat, drinking soup and eating flatbreads is the best thing in the cold winter. After eating, you will feel comfortable all over.

"Good, good! It seems we didn't recognize the wrong person."

"It's really the owner of the [Yang Chun Noodles] shop. We are so lucky today."
