Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

the next day.

Near noon, Du Shaojie set up a food cart in the open space in front of the villa and started selling braised pork.

The resort manager came over and took a look, his expression helpless.

It was because the food in the restaurant was so unpalatable. He felt that the customers were slapping him in the face, but he couldn't say anything.

Tenants from nearby came after smelling the smell and lined up politely.

Du Shaojie's place only has [Bazi Pork] and no staple food, but it's not a big deal, everyone can just go to the restaurant to order the staple food.

The restaurant has rice, steamed buns and scallion pancakes, which is quite complete.

I kept some for myself and sold the remaining [Braised Meat], which was sold out in no time.

Luo Qin and Xu Youlian cleaned up the mess before everyone went back inside to eat.

There was only [Braised Pork] for lunch, and the staple food was rice, which Wang Yongli and Peng Yongjun had just brought back from the restaurant.

night.

Du Shaojie made a pot of [Stir-fried Kidney], which was also very popular.

Wang Yongli particularly likes this dish. The dish made by the boss does not have any smell of internal organs. It is fragrant when fried and goes well with rice.

It’s just a pity that Du Shaojie only worked for two days and then quit.

The restaurant's newly hired chef is already in place, so there's no need for him to do anything unpleasant.

After resting for a few days, Du Shaojie began to inspect various stores. He went out early and came back late for a period of time, and the manager of the resort was finally relieved.

Otherwise, the other party would have been selling food in front of the villa, and he would have been slapped in the face.

They came back a little late today, and the manager of the Qindao branch of Xichuan Restaurant took them to see a storefront, but it was dark when they came back.

We didn’t have time to eat, so we went straight to the resort restaurant.

"The food today is pretty good, much better than the last time I came."

Several people ordered some dishes, which were all ok.

It seems that the resort manager was not lying. There was indeed some confusion some time ago due to internal adjustments, but now things should be back on track.

"I'll take you guys out for some delicious food in a couple of days."

After dinner, the group returned to the villa.

Today, Du Shaojie heard about a very good restaurant in the local area. The head chef is a "Master of Shandong Cuisine". Although the consumption is high, the overall evaluation is good.

He plans to try it soon.

"Ding dong!"

At this time, someone was ringing the doorbell outside the villa, and Wang Yongli hurried out to take a look.

When he came back, he had a weird look on his face.

"Who's here? What's going on?"

Du Shaojie was a little confused, so he asked.

"It's the couple we met. They are addicted to barbecue and came to ask when we will have barbecue again?"

Wang Yongli kept laughing as he spoke.

This was all the boss's doing. He whetted people's appetite, but in the end, nothing happened.

"So what's the answer?"

Du Shaojie also laughed, wanting to know how Wang Yongli dealt with the young couple.

"I asked them to come back tomorrow and maybe there will be a barbecue tomorrow."

Wang Yongli gave the couple an ambiguous answer. Although the couple was not satisfied, they left without saying anything.

"You are good at taking care of things for me. We can have a barbecue tomorrow. There is nothing to do anyway."

Du Shaojie didn't take it seriously and asked Wang Yongli to prepare the ingredients tomorrow and continue the outdoor barbecue tomorrow night.

The next night, the young couple came as expected.

"Sit down and eat as much as you want. We don't charge you today."

Du Shaojie greeted him and continued to work.

This young couple were very particular about food. They didn't want to eat for free, so they went back and got a few bottles of wine.

The two young men had good personalities and soon became good friends with Wang Yongli and the others. The young man was a well-known singer and brought a guitar with him when he went back to get the wine.

After eating and drinking, the young man played the guitar and sang by himself, giving Du Shaojie and others a free "concert".

“Thank you, your barbecue is delicious!”

The young man sang seven or eight songs and then said goodbye and left with his girlfriend.

Du Shaojie and others felt that they had a good night tonight, with wine, meat and music.

The next day.

Du Shaojie and others arrived at the restaurant around noon.

The restaurant's decoration was magnificent, and the quality of the service staff was high. When they walked into the private room and sat down, they looked at the menu. Wow, the prices here are really expensive! Du Shaojie ordered a table of [Lu cuisine], such as [Scallion-fried sea cucumber], [Nine-turn large intestine], [Fried double crisps], [Three-shred shark's fin] and other classic dishes.

It didn't take long for the food and drinks to be served.

Everyone tasted the dishes and praised them highly.

Du Shaojie felt that the level of today's dishes was not necessarily higher than Wang Hongbo's, but the exquisite tableware, impeccable dining environment, and excellent service added some extra points.

Of course, today's chef also has unique skills, and Du Shaojie learned something from several of the dishes.

night.

Du Shaojie perfectly reproduced several dishes that interested him in the simulated scene.

He now has extraordinary attainments in Shandong cuisine and can apply what he has learned to other situations. Unlike before he met Wang Hongbo, his understanding of Shandong cuisine was unsystematic.

"I am very close to becoming a Shandong Cuisine Master. All that remains is time."

Du Shaojie felt that his trip to Qindao was not in vain. The restaurant where he had lunch was indeed extraordinary. The chef's skills were no worse than Wang Hongbo's. Each had its own merits.

Next, Du Shaojie and his group found some very unique restaurants. Almost everyone in the group became foodies. Even Luo Qin said that she would lose weight after returning home.

In a month, Du Shaojie gained a lot of knowledge and his understanding of Shandong cuisine became deeper.

"Boss, we're not going to set up a stall this time?"

Seeing that Du Shaojie just ate and drank every day, Wang Yongli couldn't help but find an opportunity to ask him a question.

He knew that some of the other party's previous "quirks" were actually for the purpose of honing his cooking skills, and to be honest, he was a little looking forward to it.

"You want to set up a stall? Sure, we'll go tomorrow."

Du Shaojie has actually not been idle these days. He has been tasting delicious food while perfectly replicating the simulated scene. It is time to test the results of this trip.

Due to limited time, it was impossible for him to open a restaurant, so an open-air food stall was the most suitable.

Since it was Wang Yongli who took the initiative to bring up the matter, Du Shaojie assigned him a task and asked him to go outside and see which place was suitable for setting up a stall.

Wang Yongli walked away happily and soon found a suitable location.

That street is about a ten-minute drive from the resort. There is a vegetable market on the east side. Starting in the evening every day, many snack stalls start doing business here.

Du Shaojie went to take a look afterwards and thought it was okay.

He stayed there every night for the next month. The business he ran was fast food lunch boxes. The rice was prepared in the house and brought over, and the dishes were cooked on the spot.

The dishes were some popular Shandong cuisine. On the first day, he made Fried Crispy Fried Pork with Oil and a side of green vegetables.

"Other people have options for fast food lunch boxes, but you only have one meat and one vegetable. You don't even have a choice."

In the evening, Wang Yongli and Du Shaojie rode tricycles to the "Food Street".

This is what the locals call this street. After all, at night this street is full of food and the fragrance can spread for miles.

Wang Yongli hurriedly acted as a waiter, Zou Xiaohe and Peng Yongjun looked after them secretly, and Xu Youlian accompanied Luo Qin in the villa to handle some work matters.

Du Shaojie found an open space, set up the food cart, and then fried two pots of dishes.

Wang Yongli is responsible for packing the boxes. This is how fast food lunch boxes are made. Customers buy them and just take them away.

The first customer came and kept mumbling to himself, but finally bought three lunch boxes.

He and two brothers from the same village came out to work and could not bear to go out to eat, so eating a box lunch was considered their first meal of meat.

Back at the rental house, I invited my two brothers to eat together, and I couldn't stop eating because the [Deep-fried Double Crispy] in the lunch box was so delicious, not only was it full of flavor, but it also had a great texture.

Even the simplest stir-fried vegetables have a unique flavor.

"Brother, which restaurant did you bring this food from?"

"What restaurant? I bought it at a stall in the 'Food Street'. I thought it smelled good and the price was not expensive, so I bought three servings. Who knew it would be so delicious?"

The three of them chatted briefly and then went back to eating.

Fortunately, he talked to the boss when he bought the lunch box, and the boss added some extra rice, otherwise it would definitely not be enough.

Du Shaojie was busy from time to time. There were neither too many nor too few customers. After all, the lunch boxes he sold were very cost-effective. Customers who ate in this area valued the price the most, and then other things.

The two of them were busy until after 10 o'clock, when they packed up the food truck and returned to the resort.

The security guard at the gate was quite puzzled. He knew this guest, who was the tenant of Villa No. 6. Who knew that the other party was running a "street stall" business.

By the way, is it so profitable to set up a food stall now? Can you rent a villa for a whole month?

Du Shaojie didn't care what the security guard was thinking. He asked Wang Yongli to push the food cart to the basement and wash it the next morning.

the next day.

The resort manager came over early in the morning.

"Mr. Du, I heard that you have to set up a stall every night. Do you need my help? I think the kitchen in the villa is just a sham. You can go to the restaurant to wash vegetables or handle ingredients in the future. I have already told them."

The manager was not worried about the water and electricity bills; he was mainly afraid that the guests would mess up the villa.

After all, it is not a professional kitchen, and it is inconvenient to do anything. It is better to provide the other party with a suitable place to avoid making the villa a mess.

As for why guests who own several cars and rent villas would set up stalls, this question is not within his consideration. As long as the guests do not do anything illegal, it is their freedom to do whatever they want. (End of this chapter)
