A heavy rain in late summer took away the scorching heat, and the coolness of autumn day and night came quietly.
Yueting Buffet has become the most famous restaurant in Liuyun City this summer.
From the elderly in their sixties to children as young as three, everyone can always find the food that suits their taste in this store.
Not to mention young boys and girls, who love the self-service format so much that this store has become a must-visit place for them.
At some point, word leaked out that the restaurant where Yueting won first place in the Zhihuai Festival had already been closed for renovation.
Looks like the opening is not far away!
As the news came out, Yueting Buffet became even more lively, and everyone who came in would ask about Fang Sanhong and Lu Ran.
The two were helpless and could only say in unison: "Everyone, please be patient. We will notify you if there is any news!"
Afterwards, Xiao Yue heard Fang Sanhong complaining that it was because he had been with her for too long, and that her speech was either witty or rigid.
Xiao Yue: “…”
Is this ok?
Xiao Yue understood that the term "weird" meant that she always used some strange words, there was no doubt about that.
Very formal... Does that mean that sometimes she speaks and acts in a very official way?
"Is there?" Xiao Yue asked Fu Xunzhou, looking a little indignant.
Fu Xunzhou pondered for a moment and said, "It's obvious that he is serious and responsible in his work, careful and not sloppy, and sometimes he even forgets to eat and sleep, and has no distractions..."
"Ahem." Xiao Yue could hardly suppress the anger on her face, so she interrupted him and said, "Not really!"
"have."
Fu Xunzhou thought, especially when one is focused.
Once we get busy with store affairs, no matter who comes, no matter how big the matter is, we have to rely on Yueting Self-service.
For example, in the past half month, Xiao Yue made lunch while running around South Street to monitor the important stages of the renovation, and also had to take care of the group of women in training. In the end, even during dinner, she was thinking about the future development of the store...
There is not even any free time left for Fu Xunzhou.
Of course, he was happy to be a coachman. He liked the feeling of being able to be with her anywhere.
Looking at Xiao Yue who had just finished dinner and sent him out to help digest the food, Fu Xunzhou said gently, "It will probably get colder tomorrow, so remember to put on more clothes."
"Yeah?"
Xiao Yue looked up at the sky curiously, but could only see the dark blue sky, the bright moon and the sparse stars.
I can't understand the weather at all, and I don't know how they can understand it.
Not only Fu Xunzhou knew how to do this, but Fang Sanhong also knew how to do it. She had long ago reminded the sisters in the store to keep warm. :
Xiao Yue felt that the weather in Liuyun City was also peculiar, or rather, extremely punctual.
It gets hot in the summer and the leaves fall as soon as autumn comes. The temperature difference between morning and evening starts to increase. There is no transition and adaptation period of a few days at all.
Could it be that when winter comes, white snow will fall directly?
Of course, let’s not talk about winter for now.
Early the next morning, Xiao Yue was woken up by the cold.
She opened her eyes and saw the big orange and white fur ball curled up with her, and fell into deep thought.
Xiao Yue finally put on an extra layer of clothes and played with the little orange boy, making it meow, and then he went out contentedly.
A busy day begins.
Yueting’s breakfast buffet has added fried dumplings and soup dumplings, the latter of which is selling particularly well today.
At noon, there was no sunshine to dispel the coolness. It was the coldest day since the beginning of autumn.
Fortunately, Xiao Yue and the others were moving their bodies around, so they didn't feel that cold.
Lunch is ready and there is about 50 minutes left before it is served.
Xiao Yue brought the wooden sign with the call number to the gate of the courtyard and saw many people queuing up. Some of them were rubbing their arms, but they were still talking and laughing on their faces.
She suddenly thought of a long time ago when the store had just opened and the weather dropped and many people caught cold.
That day, Xiao Yue made brown sugar ginger soup and gave a bowl to everyone who came in to dispel the cold.
But it’s only the beginning of autumn, so brown sugar ginger soup is not needed, but what about other things?
Like…the first baked sweet potato of fall?
Not only is it soft, sweet, but you can also hold it in your hands to warm it up!
The more Xiao Yue thought about it, the brighter his eyes became.
This was the first time that she had the idea of adding more dishes in her mind after she had finished cooking all the meals, and this idea actually came true.
After all, to roast sweet potatoes, all you need is hands!
"Xiaoxiao Awen, come quickly!"
So Xiao Yue turned around and rushed to the backyard, calling out to his two little helpers while exchanging the sweet potatoes.
Sweet potatoes are not ordinary varieties, but "sugar-heart sweet potatoes" specially used for baking. They can be put directly into the oven without any other soaking or steaming processes.
Su Xiaoxiao and Sun Wen understood what to do at a glance. They excitedly picked up the sweet potatoes and arranged them neatly on the baking tray.
Each sweet potato is smooth and slender, with a fresh brick red surface without any bumps. They are evenly sized and many can fit on a plate.
There are three ovens that are usually in use in the backyard, but there are five in total, and they all came in handy today.
Xiao Yue and the other two were busy for a while before they finally roasted all the sweet potatoes.
The oven has an acceleration function, and the original half hour time has now been shortened to a quarter of an hour.
A sweet smell unique to roasted sweet potatoes slowly wafts through the backyard.
When the time came, Xiao Yue put on scald-proof gloves and couldn't wait to take out the baking tray.
"Wow!"
Su Xiaoxiao and Sun Wen looked over and saw that the sweet potatoes on the baking tray had turned into an attractive earthy brown color, with a wrinkled and crispy appearance.
Especially the exploded part has a burnt brown color, underneath is the bright yellow sweet potato flesh, which is now flowing with sweetness that can be seen with the naked eye.
Xiao Yue broke one open, wisps of white smoke rose up, and inside was golden and red sweet potato flesh.
It is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and it smells delicious!
Xiao Yue shared the roasted sweet potatoes half each to the eager Su Xiaoxiao and Sun Wen, and then took out all the rest.
Three full plates!
There were still quite a few left, so Xiao Yue put them in a small plate and prepared to eat them by himself later.
Hua Jinjin and Hua Cancan had already been serving lunch. They were envious when they saw the food. They felt warm in their stomachs just by looking at it.
The thought in their minds was exactly the same as Xiao Yue's: they must come and have a bite after finishing their work!
…
The sudden arrival of new roasted sweet potatoes surprised many customers, but also made them sad.
As we all know, sweet potatoes are a very filling food.
Not to mention that these are Yueting’s self-service roasted sweet potatoes, each one is full of honey and warms the heart and stomach, so sweet that you can’t wait to eat eight in one meal!
But the fact is that even the most hungry customers can only eat three at most, and the rest of their stomach will be left for other things.
That's the pain!
Baked sweet potatoes are very filling. If you eat too much of them, what should you do with the remaining delicious food?
This was the coldest day since the beginning of autumn, and it was also the day when customers once again hated their small stomachs.
Xiao Yue and her friends did not have so many happy worries. After busy work in the store, they took turns going to the backyard to eat the warm roasted sweet potatoes.
While eating, Hua Cancan gave one to each of Lu Ran and Fang Sanhong who were at the door.
The roasted sweet potatoes have a soft and glutinous texture and a sweet aftertaste, they are simply delicious!
Xiao Yue swallowed the last bite and finally felt relieved. Seeing that the plate was empty, she turned on the oven and continued baking.
Just as it was baked, Fu Xunzhou came.
Xiao Yue was rubbing her stomach in worry, but when she saw him, her eyes lit up and she immediately picked out a relatively large roasted sweet potato and broke it open.
"Come on, let's share it. Look how much I miss you!"
Fu Xunzhou raised his eyebrows and looked at the corner of her mouth. He saw through it but didn't say anything. He took the half-baked sweet potato and took a bite, commenting, "It's very sweet."
"That's it!" Xiao Yue quickly finished half of it, looked at his equally empty hands, and coughed lightly: "Do you want another one?"
"No need." Fu Xunzhou laughed and looked into the baking tray: "Should these be sent to the front?"
Xiao Yue shook his head and took out a new food box: "There is still enough in the front, I will take these to Jiang Yi and Uncle Meng to try."
The first baked sweet potato of autumn is bound to be eaten by everyone around you!
Fu Xunzhou helped her pack the things, and they filled two boxes.
After a while, everything was packed and the two headed to South Street together.
Today is indeed special. Not only is it the day when the renovation work is finished, but it is also the last day of the training and the day for the assessment.
As soon as they arrived at the place, Xiao Yue found that Jiang Yi and the others were all looking at him, with anticipation but more anxiety in their eyes.
"Everyone, take a break and prepare to eat. I brought some goodies today!"
Xiao Yue did not mention that the assessment made them nervous. After putting down the lunch box, she went upstairs to call Uncle Meng and the others.
After nearly a month of renovation, the restaurant has undergone tremendous changes, becoming more like a modern restaurant with a neat and simple space.
The dining area, meal pickup area, queueing room... all look very self-service and can accommodate more people.
Of course, Xiao Yue had seen all of this a few days ago. It can be said that only the red tone was retained as part of the antique style, and she was satisfied with the rest.
And the part that was completed today was not here, but...
Xiao Yue stopped at the center of the first floor, and what he saw was exactly the "big turntable" he had expected.
"Xiaoyue is here!"
Uncle Meng just happened to come down from the second floor with a smile on his face.
After being together for so long, his way of addressing me naturally changed.
However, Xiao Yue couldn't help but smile inwardly when he looked at the obviously round faces of Uncle Meng and the group of people behind him.
Well, thanks to the past half month, Jiang Yi and her friends’ cooking skills have improved.
There is so much food cooked every day that they take some home themselves, and of course they have to ask Uncle Meng and Acheng for the rest.
Xiao Yue thought that if it weren't for the name of "Yueting Self-help", their family members would probably be suspicious.
Where can I find so many delicious foods to bring home every day?
Uncle Meng came to Xiao Yue and looked at the center and said, "How about it, Xiao Yue, please inspect it. This has been taking us a while!"
"Perfect, worthy of being Uncle Meng!"
Xiao Yue praised it generously, and accompanied him to check it again to make sure there would be no problems with its use.
"Young people always have fresh ideas in their minds. This thing will definitely attract a lot of people!" Uncle Meng said so with pride in his eyes*.
This is the first time they have made this thing. Although they have the blueprints, there is no guarantee that it may not meet expectations.
In the last ten days, Uncle Meng and his team worked on this thing, and luckily it was finally completed.
