Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

"Boss, I received a flyer nearby. This is a resort, but business is not good. They are currently offering discounts. Do you want to see if you are interested?"

The resort is a little far from the city center, but transportation is very convenient.

There are quite a few vacant holiday villas there, which are now being rented out at a discount, either long-term or short-term.

"I have nothing to do this afternoon, so I'll go check it out."

Du Shaojie was a little tempted, but he was a little sleepy at the moment, so he took a nap before going to see the house.

To his surprise, the villas in the resort were very new, with good decoration and facilities. Although the price was more expensive than renting a house outside, he didn't care about the money.

Therefore, he decided to rent a villa for a month. If he wanted to extend the lease, he would decide later.

The contract would take effect from the next day, so they all stayed in the hotel that night.

The next day.

After Du Shaojie and others had breakfast, they checked out.

The three cars drove straight to the resort, and the security guard at the gate checked the rental procedures and let us in. The villa has a garage that can park two cars, and you can also park on the open space outside the villa, which is very convenient.

"Hello, Mr. Du! I'm the house manager. The resort has its own restaurant and small supermarket. The nearest vegetable market is about a 15-minute drive away. If you need shopping or other services, you need to go to the downtown area."

The resort manager checked them in and explained some details.

Life here is not very convenient. The restaurant in the resort is more like a canteen, and the small supermarket is just at the level of a convenience store. You have to drive a long way to buy vegetables.

Those who rent these villas are either companies or people who are on short vacation. It is rare to see people like Du Shaojie renting for a month.

No one cares. There are three cars anyway, so it is convenient for anyone to go out and do things.

But they soon realized they were wrong. The villa was equipped with a kitchen, but it lacked kitchen utensils and tableware, not to mention daily necessities and condiments.

I was too lazy to go out for lunch, so I went to the resort restaurant.

There weren't many people in the restaurant, only about seven or eight tables full of guests.

"What the hell is this? Why is it so unpalatable?"

Everyone ordered a few dishes, each with a bowl of rice, and started eating.

Then, a painful expression appeared on everyone's face. They had been following Du Shaojie for a long time, and it was the first time they realized that someone could make something so hard to swallow.

No wonder the resort’s business is bad and it needs to offer discounts to attract customers. No one is willing to come just based on the standard of the restaurant.

"Waiter, go get your manager."

Luo Qin put down his chopsticks immediately and prepared to argue with the restaurant manager.

As a result, the waiter told her that the manager had resigned half a month ago and the new manager had not yet taken office.

Wang Yongli felt a little guilty and immediately stood up to find the person in charge of the resort.

"Forget it, let's go out to eat."

Du Shaojie waved his hand, signaling everyone not to be impulsive.

This matter was actually his responsibility. He came to see the house in person, thought it was good, and signed a one-month lease contract. It was actually none of Wang Yongli's business.

Before he could move, the guests at other tables started making noise again.

It seems that they are not the only ones who have been deceived, even those who were eating in the restaurant were deceived.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! We are currently undergoing internal adjustments, and some work has not been done properly. Please forgive us. Today's meal is free, and we will change the restaurant's appearance as soon as possible."

At this time, the resort manager ran over.

The other person was a middle-aged man in his forties. When he came in, he clasped his fists towards everyone and his attitude was quite good.

When the others heard that the meal was free, they stopped making a fuss.

Du Shaojie still didn't change his mind. He and Wang Yongli stood up and walked towards the restaurant door.

"Sir, please wait a moment."

The resort manager chased after him, and Du Shaojie stopped only when he reached the door.

"Is something wrong?"

Du Shaojie asked with a smile.

"It's our fault today. The newly hired restaurant manager and chef won't be here until the day after tomorrow. Currently, there are only a few kitchen workers on duty in the restaurant. Please don't be angry."

As the manager spoke, he took out some meal coupons from his pocket, about two hundred yuan in total.

Then he insisted that Du Shaojie accept it, and kept apologizing if he refused.

Du Shaojie couldn't figure out what went wrong internally, but this manager was definitely a talent. If they were really making internal adjustments as he said, the resort's business would definitely be good after the adjustments were completed.

So he stopped talking, took the meal ticket, said "thank you", got in the car and left.

in the afternoon.

Du Shaojie asked Wang Yongli and others to buy ingredients. He went to the basement alone and took out the food cart and barbecue grill.

These things have been stored in the storage space for a long time and today they finally see the light of day again.

After coming out of the basement, he walked around outside for a while. Xu Youlian saw him on the second floor and hurried down to catch up with him.

At this moment, he and Xu Youlian were the only two people in the villa, and everyone else had gone out. "Boss, I'm sorry, I just took a nap and didn't see you leave the villa."

"It's okay. Is there any danger in the resort? By the way, come with me to the basement to get some things."

When Du Shaojie saw Xu Youlian, he was too lazy to hang around anymore, so he and her took the food cart and barbecue grill from the basement to the lawn outside.

The villas in the resort are all stand-alone villas. The lawns around the villas look nice and the space is large enough.

When Wang Yongli and his friends came back, they saw the food truck and barbecue grill on the lawn.

Wang Yongli felt that the dining truck looked very familiar. He was one of the first people to follow the boss and had set up snack stalls in other cities. The dining truck used by the boss looked very similar to this one.

Naturally, he wouldn't ask too many questions. The boss was rich and someone would deliver whatever he wanted in minutes.

After all, Qindao also has industries under Du Shaojie's banner, and sub-brands such as [Xichuan Restaurant], [Xiangwei Ju], [Northwest Noodle House], and [Shuweixiang Hotpot] all have stores in the local area.

"We're going to have a barbecue tonight. Yongli, you and Luo Qin go wash the vegetables. Xiaohe, you and Xu Youlian help me. Yongjun will be in charge of threading the skewers. We can do it ourselves and have enough food and clothing."

Du Shaojie made arrangements so no one was idle and everyone had something to do.

Wang Yongli and others bought a lot of food, including mutton, beef, pork belly, squid, grass carp, and various vegetables.

At the same time, according to Du Shaojie's instructions, he bought scallion pancakes, various condiments, cooking oil, and charcoal for barbecue.

Du Shaojie waited for them to prepare the ingredients, marinated some of them first, and then prepared the barbecue sauce himself.

Wang Yongli lit the charcoal and piled it on the barbecue stove.

After the charcoal fire was heated up, Du Shaojie started to grill, while Xu Youlian and Zou Xiaohe stood aside and followed him to learn.

They were embarrassed to let the boss stand here and grill all by himself, so they ate and drank heartily on the side.

"It's okay. Even though barbecue is just a small thing, it still requires skills."

Du Shaojie is usually not arrogant and is especially nice to people around him.

However, Xu Youlian and Zou Xiaohe both had some talent. They started right away after watching and learned quite quickly.

Wang Yongli and his friends moved a small tea table and chairs out of the villa. Du Shaojie felt that the barbecue was almost ready, so he sat over and joined everyone in eating barbecue and drinking beer.

Everyone quickly got into the mood and stopped thinking about upsetting things.

They were eating and drinking deliciously here, and the tenants nearby came and looked at them with envy. The main reason was that the smell coming over was so fragrant that they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

"Excuse me, can you give us some of your barbecue? I'll pay for it."

Finally, a young man came over hesitantly at the instigation of his girlfriend.

He felt that his behavior was shameful, but he felt sorry for his girlfriend when he saw how she ate today, so he had to speak up shamelessly.

Luo Qin turned around and looked at the other person, feeling speechless.

The boss wants your money? How many people spend a lot of money to eat the dishes cooked by the boss, but can't even get in line? Do you think you are special?
Of course, she wouldn't say these words out loud, she just thought about them in her heart.

"Wynn, here comes the business, ask people what they want to eat?"

What Luo Qin didn't expect was that Du Shaojie actually stood up and prepared to do business with the other party.

Wang Yongli approached and asked with familiarity, then wrote down what the other party wanted in a notebook and quoted a price. No matter how you looked at it, he acted like a waiter.

Du Shaojie glanced at the "order" and started grilling quickly.

After a while, the aroma of barbecue wafted out, and the young couple was almost drooling with greed.

"Okay, Yongli, give it to the customer."

After Du Shaojie finished baking, he returned to the small tea table and sat down.

Wang Yongli handed the skewers to the young man and then collected the money skillfully.

This scene completely overturned Luo Qin and Xu Youlian's cognition. They looked at each other, confused as to what their boss was up to.

"Thank you! Thank you! With these skewers, I won't starve to death anymore."

The young couple happily walked away with the skewers, eating as they walked.

"Luo Qin, A Lian, what are you two looking at? My boss and I have worked together at night markets and snack stands. What's wrong with buying a few skewers for others?"

Wang Yongli looked at Luo Qin and Xu Youlian, who looked like they had never seen the world, and couldn't help but say something.

Luo Qin and the others became curious and kept asking what was going on.

Seeing that the boss didn't react, Wang Yongli simply told them a few things, which left the two of them stunned.

But considering that the boss is honing his cooking skills, it seems to make sense.

But what about today?

"It's fate that they came here. I will be selling food at the resort starting tomorrow."

Du Shaojie actually did it on purpose, otherwise he wouldn't have asked Wang Yongli to buy so many ingredients.

After eating and drinking, Du Shaojie asked them to clean the dining cart and the barbecue grill, then went to the kitchen to prepare the pork belly. After preparing the spices himself, he started stewing it.

What he made was [Braised Pork], which was stewed slowly over low heat and soaked overnight to make it taste better.

He handed over the fire watcher to Wang Yongli and others, and went upstairs to take a bath and go to sleep. (End of this chapter)
