Chapter 99: A starving man is reincarnated like a ghost, bringing shame to the army
Rong Jingchen and Yu Jianguo walked together, but the lunch box in his hand was in the hand that was not close to Yu Jianguo.
Even though Yu Jianguo said that he would not steal his lunch, it was obvious that Rong Jingchen did not believe it completely.
"Captain Rong!" As soon as we entered the military area, a surprised voice was heard.
Immediately afterwards, a figure appeared in front of the two people like a whirlwind.
Chen Hong looked at Rong Jingchen with an enthusiastic smile on his face. He even ignored Yu Jianguo who was beside Rong Jingchen until he got closer.
"...Hello, Political Commissar." Chen Hong greeted him, but his tone was clearly not as enthusiastic as before.
After just a glance at Yu Jianguo, Chen Hong's gaze immediately fell on the lunch box in Rong Jingchen's hand, and his eyes seemed to be shining.
Not to mention Rong Jingchen, even Yu Jianguo who was watching from the side even wondered whether Chen Hong would rush up and snatch the lunch box directly.
"Rong Tuan, where have you been during this period of time? Why haven't I seen you for a long time?" Chen Hong asked Rong Jingchen, but his eyes were always glancing behind Rong Jingchen.
After seeing Chen Hong, Rong Jingchen hid the lunch box behind him again, even faster than when he saw Yu Jianguo.
The two of them were equally eager for his lunch, especially Chen Hong. He had another characteristic, which was that he would never give up. Not only did he not find it, he even came to him to ask for it.
Rong Jingchen even suspected that Chen Hong came here on purpose to block him!
"What do you want me to do?" Rong Jingchen's tone was cold, even with a hint of impatience.
He didn't want to see Chen Hong at all, especially during lunch.
"Alas!" Chen Hong sighed deeply, not caring about Rong Jingchen's attitude at all, and walked towards Rong Jingchen, "Rong Tuan, you don't know, I was so miserable before, I didn't win once in more than a week of playing rock-paper-scissors."
"I haven't had my sister-in-law's breakfast for more than a week, but at least there was always hope before. But now this hope is gone. It's too difficult, it's really too difficult."
As Chen Hong spoke, he stood beside Rong Jingchen and leaned behind him, clearly coveting Rong Jingchen's lunch.
Chen Hong felt like he was going crazy. He couldn't win the rock-paper-scissors game at breakfast, and he couldn't find Rong Jingchen at lunch. God knows how greedy he is. He was drooling in his dreams at night.
Thinking of this, Chen Hong looked at Rong Jingchen with resentment in his eyes. Rong Jingchen was really able to dodge.
"Yeah." Rong Jingchen responded and pushed Chen Hong away.
Most importantly, he pushed away Chen Hong's sight of him eating lunch.
"It's not like there's no food for you in the cafeteria!" Pushing Chen Hong away, Rong Jingchen walked away.
Chen Hong followed him like a dog-skin plaster, his eyes only on the lunch in Rong Jingchen's hand, as if he would keep clinging to it if he couldn't eat it.
Yu Jianguo was totally ignored. Looking at Chen Hong's greedy face, he felt a little disgusted. How could a grown man look like a starving ghost?
It really brought shame to their unit!
…
Breakfast shop.
"Xixi, have you changed the menu today?" Cai Dongmei was a little curious when she saw Ye Muxi coming out to write the menu after he finished.
Ye Muqi nodded and added a dish to the breakfast menu.
"We've been selling breakfast for so long, so we added a new item, pea and meat sauce, to give our regular customers a change of taste." Ye Muqi said, pointing to the newly added side dishes to Cai Dongmei.
Yang Liwen had eaten at Ye Muqi's house yesterday and knew how delicious this new side dish was. She couldn't help but praise it.
Ye Muqi made a bowl of noodles for Cai Dongmei, and the store began to get busy.
When Yang Liwen went into the kitchen to wash the dishes, she was stunned for a moment when she saw the dishes piled up in the kitchen, but she was not too confused and thought they were the goods that Cai Dongmei had brought in that morning.
Maybe because of the new products, we finished selling breakfast at around 10:30 today, which gave us enough time to prepare lunch.
"Has even the lunch menu changed today?" Yang Liwen couldn't help but ask when she saw that the dishes Ye Muqi took out were different from yesterday.
"I thought about it and realized that the workers around here won't change. No matter how delicious the food is, they will get tired of it if they eat it every day. Only if we change the menu every day can we keep these customers in the store."
Ye Muqi had already thought about this problem after selling out yesterday. Having the same dishes for two consecutive days would make anyone sick of it.
"I'm going to make a new menu, a week's menu, and I'll follow this menu from now on."
Repeat this week after week, and you won’t have to worry about getting tired of this dish when you eat it again after a week.
Yang Liwen nodded. She never thought that she could not only learn cooking skills but also learn business management methods.
Ye Muqi told her a lot yesterday. Although she took notes very seriously, she still forgot some things when she returned home. After all, she had not tried it herself.
Today, Yang Liwen brought a small notebook with her to take notes. Even if she forgets something later, she can remember it by looking at the notebook, and can study it carefully based on what is recorded in the notebook.
"We have plenty of time today, so help me cut the vegetables and practice your knife skills first." Ye Muqi handed the vegetables to Yang Liwen.
Some need to be sliced, some need to be shredded, and some need to be diced. Although it is not difficult to make, making a big bowl of rice is different from cooking at home. A large amount of vegetables needs to be cut, which is a test of physical strength and speed.
After practicing more, Yang Liwen's knife skills were gradually improved.
Ye Muqi demonstrated it first and then handed the knife to Yang Liwen.
"The dish that Qiqi made today is really good. The chicken is delicious." Cai Dongmei took a bite and her eyes suddenly lit up. She gave Ye Muqi a thumbs up.
"It's the same method as braised pork, except that chicken is used instead." Ye Muqi smiled. She didn't make a particularly complicated dish. She only changed one ingredient in one of the main dishes.
Ye Muqi said this to Cai Dongmei, but also to Yang Liwen.
Yang Liwen was busy cutting vegetables. Her speed was a little slow at the beginning, but after cutting more and more and becoming more skilled, her speed gradually increased.
At noon, after two days of fermentation, more and more workers came to the store to eat big bowls of rice. The store was full of people, and the seats outside were also full of people. Some people even had no seats left.
"This store is still too small. We have to find a way to expand it." Ye Muqi muttered, his eyes looking at the canteen next to Cai Dongmei's breakfast shop.
