Chapter 20
Mr. Fu has caught a cold?
Yueting's first self-help activity brought new changes to Xiaoyue.
Because the number of people today has almost doubled compared to the day before, and they all came for the crispy duck with taro paste that has officially been added to the menu.
Not long after, the dish was sold out twice.
Xiao Yue wiped the sweat off his face, collected the money from the customers in line, and rushed back to the kitchen to make a new round.
But today, customers do not come in batches, but there are people queuing up all the time.
Xiao Yue had just finished marinating the duck meat and was about to go out to collect the money. After collecting the money, she heard that the garlic enoki mushrooms were gone, so she went back to the kitchen to grill them. Her feet were so anxious that they were about to burst into flames.
Just at this moment, a crisp voice came to her ears.
"Sister Xiao, you are too busy. Let me help you collect the money, okay?" Su Xiaoxiao volunteered to come over, her eyes eager, "Just focus on cooking, and I will definitely pay you every penny!"
Cheng Min, who was standing by, glanced at Su Xiaoxiao's empty plate of crispy duck with taro paste, and felt her uneasy gaze, so he said, "Yes, Madam Xiao, don't worry, I'll help watch it too!"
Not only him, but the guests at other tables also started to speak after noticing Su Xiaoxiao's intention.
"Madam Xiao! Just go and cook. We'll all help and watch over you!"
Subtext: Don’t delay the crispy duck with taro paste from coming out of the pot!
How could Xiao Yue not understand what was said? Facing so many pairs of burning eyes, he couldn't help laughing.
In order not to keep everyone waiting for too long, she simply agreed: "Okay, then I'll trouble Miss Su and everyone!"
The small basket for collecting money was then in Su Xiaoxiao's hands. After telling her to take the money as soon as the vegetables were out of the pot, she walked happily to the door.
Cheng Min seemed helpless, but in fact his eyes were always fixed on the food pick-up area.
kitchen.
With someone to help, Xiao Yue concentrated on cooking. When she was pounding the taro, the idea of asking for help came to her mind.
Now Yueting Self-service is on the right track, and business will probably not be too bad as long as it is not windy or rainy.
She cooks and serves the dishes while collecting money and dishes. When there are few dishes, she has to wait in front of the dishwasher before sending them out and putting them away...
During peak hours, like just now, Xiao Yue was really overwhelmed.
It seems that recruiting staff is an urgent matter.
But Xiao Yue was also a little worried, because it seemed a bit troublesome to explain the things in his small shop.
The ingredients are easy to explain, as they were specially delivered early in the morning before dawn, but how do they explain the refrigerator, oven, steamer, etc.
Xiao Yue thought about it for a while, but he didn't have any clue for the time being so he didn't bother to think about it anymore. After all, it wasn't easy to recruit people immediately, so he had plenty of time to think.
A quarter of an hour later.
Xiao Yue brought out the freshly-baked crispy duck with taro paste. At that moment, people surrounded her.
As soon as they moved away, the customers rushed forward excitedly.
Xiao Yue didn't even go back to the kitchen, and watched the crispy duck with taro paste disappear.
“…”
Xiao Yue wiped his face, feeling helpless and happy, and could only go back to continue making the next round.
But she understood that no matter how much she cooked, people's stomachs were still there, not to mention that there was more than one dish to eat.
Xiao Yue baked less this time, and as expected, when he sent the cakes out again, although the customers were excited, fewer people came to buy them.
Nearing noon, the last bit was taken away by Su Xiaoxiao.
Xiao Yue finally discovered that this girl really liked this dish.
Just when she had some free time, she walked over and took the basket of money: "Thank you, you helped me a lot today!"
"No way!" Su Xiaoxiao's face was full of happiness: "Sister Xiao's cooking skills are so good. Today's jasmine milk is also very delicious. I think I can drink it for the rest of my life!"
"Come on."
Cheng Min complained out loud, successfully attracting Su Xiaoxiao's angry gaze.
Taking advantage of these few seconds, he quickly picked up the food on her plate with the chopsticks in his hand and stuffed it into his mouth.
"What are you doing!"
Su Xiaoxiao was stunned. She quickly protected the last bite of food on the plate and started eating without saying anything.
Xiao Yue laughed out loud and shook her head secretly. Just as she was about to go back to the kitchen, she saw a figure walking towards the door out of the corner of her eye.
She turned around and saw that the person coming was Fu Xunzhou.
Unlike yesterday's black attire, he changed into a moon-white robe, which made him look even cooler and gentler.
However, when he walked in, Fu Xunzhou clenched his fist to his mouth and coughed lightly a few times. Suddenly, his cheeks uncontrollably turned a little pink.
"Mr. Fu, what's going on..." Xiao Yue withdrew her gaze from his face, thinking about yesterday's situation and the current situation, and couldn't help but guess: "Did you catch a cold?"
Fu Xunzhou heard her hidden teasing, and his face seemed to turn even redder. He approached her and said, "I am feeling a little unwell. I am late because of the delay."
He didn't expect to get caught in the rain, and he felt dizzy when he woke up this morning.
"Health is more important." Xiao Yue didn't expect him to come to eat even in this state, and couldn't help but laugh: "Don't worry, today's dishes are all there except the one you had yesterday, and there is also black pepper mashed potatoes."
There are a lot of people today, but she saw that the weather was so good early in the morning, so she prepared a lot of food.
Unexpectedly, when Fu Xunzhou heard the words "Everything is available except what you eat", he immediately thought that he was the only one who had eaten from yesterday to now, and his tone became cheerful.
"That's good."
When Xiao Yue saw him handing over the copper coins, he nodded slightly at her and went to the food pick-up area.
Looking at the cheerful figure, she felt a little strange and remembered that Fu Xunzhou had said yesterday that he would come earlier.
Although I didn't make it due to illness, but... a serving of black pepper mashed potatoes, is it so tempting?
Xiao Yue thought about it and felt that it was understandable. So many people came today just for the limited edition dishes.
This side.
Fu Xunzhou was looking up at the menu, starting from the end. When he saw the black pepper mashed potatoes written at the bottom, he paused and stopped reading.
He lowered his head and successfully found the dish that Xiao Yue had recommended.
Fu Xunzhou thought about it, scooped out two servings in total, and served some other dishes. Finally, he looked around at the number of people in the yard, found a separate table and walked over.
“It’s so delicious…”
In the yard, Su Xiaoxiao, who was sitting and digesting her food, rubbed her stomach and sighed again and again.
Cheng Min rarely stopped arguing with her. He drank some light tea to rinse his mouth. When he looked up again, he saw that Su Xiaoxiao's gaze was fixed on a certain place.
He looked in the direction he was looking and saw a man in white with a noble temperament and excellent looks. Then he looked at Su Xiaoxiao's absent-minded look and couldn't help but curl his lips.
"What are you looking at?"
"It looks so familiar..."
Xiao Yue was cleaning up the nearest table when she heard Su Xiaoxiao's words. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "What do you mean, look familiar?"
"Nothing, I must have seen it wrong." Su Xiaoxiao retracted her gaze and became active when she saw her: "By the way, Sister Xiao, why did I hear that the neighbor also did something like a hundred copper coins to win everything? Isn't this just copying you?"
It rained yesterday and Su Xiaoxiao couldn't come. She came early today and saw that the seat next door was full of people.
As usual, people would go to Yueting for self-service at this time.
However, Su Xiaoxiao and Cheng Min did not go to inquire specifically. After a moment of confusion, they hurried to queue up at the entrance of Yueting Self-service Shop.
While waiting in line, the two heard other people talking about something like, "All-you-can-eat at Jixiang Restaurant for just 100 copper coins?"
Xiao Yue was not surprised that she knew about this. Since the distance was so close, it would probably spread completely by tomorrow.
She thought for a moment and said, "This is just a way of doing business. It's not necessary to copy it. Anyone who has the ability can do it. Besides, the food served in the two restaurants is very different."
Jixiang Restaurant mainly sells breakfast, mainly porridge and noodles.
At present, Yueting Buffet and it are in a simple competitive relationship. Even if the boss of the opposite side has criticized her for the problem of ingredients, it is pure nonsense, and the customers can taste the difference.
In short, Xiao Yue didn't take it to heart, and was not afraid that he would cause any trouble later.
"That's right." Su Xiaoxiao felt relieved when she heard that. She patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, Sister Xiao, I am definitely your most loyal customer. But it would be even better if you could sell breakfast!"
Home-cooked meals were so delicious, she couldn't even imagine how delicious the common breakfast items were.
For example, the dessert that was quickly sold out today was delicious when paired with jasmine milk.
Why not have it as breakfast!
This was the second time Xiao Yue heard that a customer wanted to make breakfast for him. He reluctantly said, "I need to think about this matter again. There is no exact time at the moment."
She needs at least someone to help her so that she can handle the work.
Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao clenched her fists excitedly as if she had heard her say that she would sell breakfast tomorrow. "Sister Xiao, I will wait for you even when I walk or sleep! You must tell me in advance when you start!"
After saying that, she brought up Cheng Min, left with a "see you tomorrow" and walked away.
Xiao Yue thought to herself that she was really lively. She sighed and turned around, only to find that Fu Xunzhou, who was not far away, was looking at her.
"Next door?" He asked naturally, "What did you do?"
Fu Xunzhou arrived late and didn't know about this.
Xiao Yue thought about it, and told him what happened in the morning in a concise way: "The old brand next door has improved its business methods. Breakfast costs 100 copper coins. They say they use the best and freshest ingredients..."
"Is it implying that you used bad ingredients?"
Fu Xunzhou said this after she finished speaking, and then frowned slightly, as if he was both disdainful and indignant.
"Don't worry about it. I think everyone who comes here to eat can tell how it tastes."
With Fu Xunzhou's weak spleen and stomach, how could he not have a reaction if the food was really bad?
Xiao Yue didn't expect him to say that, so she blinked and smiled, "Of course I won't care, as long as I make good food that customers will like."
Her goal is to complete the system fame progress bar, reach the final level and make a wish to go home!
However, Xiao Yue also had a favorable impression of this good-looking and well-spoken customer: "Mr. Fu, please continue eating. I'm going to get busy."
Most of the customers in the store had already left. Xiao Yue was not the kind of person who liked to procrastinate, so he cleared up the tables one by one.
There was very little leftover food today, especially after Fu Xunzhou arrived and served up every last bit.
Xiao Yue discovered that this person was not eating slowly on purpose, but was savoring the food carefully.
Compared to feasting on the food, it is more entertaining.
If Li Xiong and Zhao Liang were here, they would probably form a strong contrast with Fu Xunzhou, which might be a way to attract customers...
Xiao Yue was feeling regretful when he heard a weak voice asking in his ears.
“Have you sold out all the food?”
Xiao Yue thought it sounded familiar, so he turned to look at the door, only to see a woman in gray clothes standing there.
Fang Sanhong, Sister Fang?
Xiao Yue was stunned and couldn't help but frown, because the other party's condition was visibly bad.
Not to mention the blood color on his face, his lips were cracked and pale, his eyelids were drooping lifelessly, and he looked listless.
Fang Sanhong seemed a little uncomfortable seeing her expression, so she walked in slowly and looked at the empty insulation tank.
She pursed her lips, said nothing, and turned to leave.
"Sister Fang, you..."
Xiao Yue was about to say something when he saw Fang Sanhong stumble and fall headfirst.
Xiao Yue was startled, and acted faster than he thought, rushing forward to hug her, and it took some effort to hold her steady.
It was also at this time that Xiao Yue felt that Fang Sanhong's whole body was burning hot. Was he having a fever?
Xiao Yue didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly helped her back to his backyard.
Fu Xunzhou, who was standing by, naturally noticed it, and came over with a slightly serious expression to lend a hand.
