"Master, where are these ducks being driven?"

Nanzhi, who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped. "Yes, where are we going?"

The 30,000 ducks behind me kept quacking.

If we go to the county, there won't be enough space to put so many ducks there.

Anzhi turned to the ducks and said, "You can go back now. Come out when we need you."

Wei Min was about to chuckle when he saw the ducks turn in a different direction. His master was actually talking to a group of ducks.

They wiggled their hips and squealed as they walked into the jungle.

Nanzhi let Cherry directly put the duck into her space.

The two entered the restaurant with mixed feelings.

Nanzhi was hungry, so she went straight to the kitchen.

"Chef, this dish shouldn't have cilantro. Adding cilantro will ruin the original flavor of the food. Instead, this dish should have plenty of cilantro. Also, this meat dish has too much Sichuan peppercorn, which is not suitable."

The head chef, Jin Shou, said unhappily, "I'm the head chef, you do what I say."

A mere side dish maker dares to nitpick about his dishes.

Guan Xingsheng opened his mouth, but swallowed the words that were about to come out.

But he didn't think his opinion was wrong.

Just like the steamed buns he had just made, simple and plain, although no one else liked them, Guan Xingsheng thought they were delicious.

No one in the kitchen dared to utter a sound. Ever since Jin Shou arrived, he not only had a terrible temper but also looked down on them.

Sensible people have already kept their distance.

Nanzhi walked in, and there were two dishes on the table: a meat dish and a soup.

Starving, she didn't care what it was, picked up a chopstick, and took a bite.

As soon as it entered her mouth, Nanzhi spat the meat out.

She put down her chopsticks and asked, "Who made this dish?"

Jin Shou stepped forward unhappily, "I did it, Master."

Nanzhi pointed at the dish and said, "The heat was too high, the meat is tough, and there's so much Sichuan peppercorn. Do you think I don't care about the price of Sichuan peppercorn?"

Jin Shou was displeased by what was said. "Master, I've always cooked like this, and besides, the guests haven't complained of any problems with the food."

Nan Zhi had a cold face when Liu Dezhi happened to walk in and heard what he said.

"Liu Dezhi, fire this man. Our Tianxia Diyi Lou restaurant can't afford to hire someone like him."

Jin Shou realized the seriousness of the problem and hurriedly knelt down, saying, "Master, I was wrong. Please give me another chance."

Although he said it, he didn't show any sign of admitting his mistake.

Cherry heard the other person's thoughts: "Master is cursing you in his heart."

Nan Zhi frowned. "Liu Dezhi, what are you standing there for? Do you expect me to pay for this ancestor's expenses?"

Liu Dezhi quickly snapped out of his daze and waved towards the door. Two men entered, gagged Jin Shou, and dragged him out.

For a moment, everyone in the kitchen knelt on the ground, trembling, not daring to raise their heads.

Nanzhi was really hungry, so she grabbed a meat bun from somewhere else, took a bite, and the meat juice was delicious.

She stared at the steamed bun in her hand. "Who made this steamed bun?"

Everyone remained silent. Guan Xingsheng trembled, bowed his head, and raised one hand.

"So it was you," Nan Zhi said with a smile. "Well done. This dish will be added to the menu of Tianxia Diyi Lou. You will be in charge of it from now on."

Guan Xingsheng looked up in shock, his face practically screaming "This is a windfall!"

Liu Dezhi reminded him, "Why don't you thank your master?"

The kid was overjoyed.

Guan Xingsheng kowtowed gratefully: "Guan Xingsheng thanks you, Master."

The dull thud of her head hitting the ground startled Nanzhi, who was munching on a steamed bun.

Is the child alright on the forehead?

They knelt there, and Nanzhi didn't enjoy her meal.

"You should know what you should and shouldn't do from now on." Seemingly realizing she had been too harsh, Nanzhi softened her tone, "We're all working in the same place. We can only get better by helping each other. If you take advantage of earning more money and bully others at will, how are you any different from those bullies outside?"

“You are all employees of my restaurant, each of you shining brightly with your own unique strengths. However, you must maintain the right attitude when faced with accusations and criticisms, and make timely improvements. If such a situation occurs again, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

After Nanzhi left, everyone in the kitchen stood up.

"Jin Shou, that scourge, is finally gone."

"Master is such a good person. I'm determined to work hard from now on."

"Yes, I'll try to get a wife so my son can take over my job."

"Haha, Lao Liu, you've got a really good idea."

The atmosphere in the kitchen has finally returned to its former harmonious state.

"Hey, Guan Xingsheng, what are you standing there for? Get to work!"

After finishing up the kitchen matters, Nanzhi specifically warned Liu Dezhi to be more careful when choosing people in the future.

Ultimately, Nanzhi felt that these people still needed to be trained.

So that evening, they closed the restaurant and had everyone gather together.

Liu Dezhi understood that his master was about to give him a lecture.

So they called over the person who was tending the fire in the kitchen as well.

The restaurant now has about fifty people, including everyone else.

Nan Zhi coughed: "I've gathered you all here today to discuss something. Starting today, we'll meet in the main hall every evening to learn the new rules and regulations. As the saying goes, a country has its laws, a family has its rules, and a restaurant naturally can't be without them."

She took out the books printed from the system. "These books will be distributed to everyone, one for each person. We will study them thoroughly and memorize them. If anyone makes a mistake, I will have corresponding punishment rules. At best, I will be fined; at worst, I will be expelled."

Everyone sighed, surprised that there was also a fine as an option.

The wages here are high, but that doesn't mean they're willing to be fined.
