At night.
Cai Jing stayed in the guest room upstairs for one night and left early in the morning.
Du Shaojie got up late and slept until noon. To be honest, he couldn't drink as much as Cai Jing, and he didn't know how much the other person could drink.
"Boss, the kitchen made some seafood porridge, you can have some."
After he washed up and went downstairs, Zhang Yufei brought him a big bowl of seafood porridge, a few small steamed buns and a plate of pickles.
Breakfast was very much to his taste. The hot seafood porridge entered his stomach, and he felt warm all over and very comfortable.
Later, Du Shaojie checked the accounts of the store. The business was in good condition, and the monthly profit was stable at about 50,000 yuan. It would be difficult to increase it significantly in a short time.
"Jianjun, this is good. Everyone should work hard and don't let the sign that has been erected with great effort fall down."
Du Shaojie then chatted with Xiao Jianjun, Zhang Yong, Zhang Yufei and others, without putting too much pressure on them, asking them to hold on to the current fruits of victory.
There are already many restaurants in this area, all of which focus on seafood, and have already formed a scale.
Especially during holidays, many people come here with their families to eat seafood, and the customer flow is very large. But the competition is also very fierce. There are new restaurants opened every month, and there are also restaurants that cannot continue to operate and close down every month.
[Seafood House] has become a local "old brand" with a large customer base. As long as you don't mess around, the business will not be bad.
"Boss, don't worry, we will definitely keep the fruits of victory."
Xiao Jianjun, Zhang Yong, and Zhang Yufei all laughed. If Du Shaojie asked them to continue to expand their territory, perhaps they would find it difficult to do so. But asking them to keep the status quo is absolutely no problem.
Finally, Du Shaojie got up and went to the kitchen.
He had studied several seafood dishes before, and took this opportunity to communicate with Zhang Yong and others. Nowadays, seafood dishes are no longer his shortcoming. After watching the demonstration, Zhang Yong and others couldn't help but be convinced.
Next, he rested in Shenzhen for a few days before returning to Guangzhou.
Arriving at the door of his home in the old street, Du Shaojie habitually opened the mailbox and found several letters inside.
He took the letters into the house and opened them casually. They were all written by Qi Yan. Moreover, the intervals between these letters were very short, basically one a day.
The other party actually had nothing to do, just wanted to see Du Shaojie, and each letter asked him when he would go to the capital.
He didn't have anything important to do at the moment, so he could go to the capital for a while.
When he was hesitating whether to make a trip, a long-awaited task was released.
[Ding!]
[Task: Eat mutton in the cold winter, warm up and be healthy. Task requirements, sell 3,000 [mutton soup] within 30 days, and the praise rate is greater than or equal to 90%.]
[Reward: 10,000 redemption points, a gift pack for strengthening the body (×1)]
[Punishment: If the task is not completed on time, you will not be able to get any rewards within 3 months.]
Note 1: Mutton soup includes [clear stewed mutton], [mutton offal soup], [(mutton) bone soup], etc., you can choose one.
Note 2: The task time starts from three days later.
The task that had not been released for a long time came unexpectedly, and Du Shaojie couldn't stay at home anymore.
The task can only be completed by him personally, and this [Mutton Soup] seems to be more popular in the north or northwest? The three-day lead time should be the time left for his journey.
He found a reason for himself and planned to go to Beijing as soon as possible.
At night.
The sudden rain stopped.
Du Shaojie told Liang Meiqin about his schedule.
"You are a person who likes to float around and can't stay in one place. I don't care about you, as long as you are not afraid of hard work."
Liang Meiqin has been very fond of Du Shaojie since her eyes recovered.
She didn't want to ask about the other party's affairs, but just kept telling him to take care of his health.
"Also, no matter what you have to do, you must go back to Xijiang during the Spring Festival, okay?"
"Okay!"
Du Shaojie's reason is fair and square. He is the boss, of course he needs to regularly inspect the various stores of [Xichuan Restaurant].
He also likes this kind of life. He didn't have the conditions before, but now that he has the conditions, how can he always stay in one place? Moreover, he had a feeling that if he always stayed at home and worked behind closed doors, it would be difficult to break through the ceiling of his cooking skills.
The next day.
Du Shaojie flew directly to Beijing.
The lead time for the task was only three days, and he still had a lot of preparation work to do, so he dared not delay for a minute.
After getting off the plane, he first went to [Xichuan Restaurant] and met Yu Jianxin and others. When he was not in Beijing, his yard was cleaned and maintained by people sent by Yu Jianxin. When he came, this work could be suspended.
Then he returned home.
The house was very clean inside and outside. If no one in Beijing took care of it and it was vacant all the time, it would probably be uninhabitable.
Du Shaojie went to wash his face, then went to light a fire and set up a stove, boiled a pot of water, and then took the dining cart out of the storage space in the yard. He recycled the dining cart when he left last time, and now it is seeing the light of day again.
To be honest, he likes to set up a stall, and the fun of it is different from opening a restaurant.
It is very fulfilling to be alone with one food truck, facing different customers and watching them come with full expectations and leave with satisfaction.
After all, he is a down-to-earth person who likes this kind of fireworks.
Of course, the key is that he has no survival pressure and his mentality is different from others.
There is no heating in the room, but as the temperature in the fire wall rises, the room quickly becomes hot.
Du Shaojie cleaned the things he needed to use, and when he saw that it was almost time, he took a bus to the Normal University.
"Shaojie, you are really here? I am so happy."
When Qi Yan saw Du Shaojie, the surprise in her eyes could not be hidden at all.
Although she wrote several letters in succession to ask the other party to come to Beijing, it was just a way for her to vent her emotions, and she didn't expect the other party to come at all.
But when the other party stood in front of her with a smile, she was immediately surrounded by a huge sense of happiness.
"Let's go out for dinner."
Du Shaojie grabbed Qi Yan's hand and was about to pull the other party out of the school.
Qi Yan suddenly thought of something and said, "Wait for me at the gate for a while, I'll be there soon."
She immediately turned back to the dormitory, packed some things she needed in a small bag, and hurried downstairs.
Du Shaojie waited for a while, and Qi Yan came out, so the two found a place to eat first, and then went to his yard together after dinner.
The two were busy for half the night, so they got up late in the morning.
Qi Yan was not very busy recently, but she couldn't be absent from school all day. After getting up, she ate something casually and prepared to leave.
"Yanzi, I'm honing my cooking skills recently. I plan to set up a stall outside your school in the afternoon. You can find me there then."
Du Shaojie found a reason for setting up a stall for himself. Otherwise, what would Qi Yan think if he, a top chef, always liked to do this?
Sure enough, Qi Yan rolled her eyes at him, but in the end she didn't say anything.
After the other party left, Du Shaojie hurried out to buy ingredients. He thought about it for the past two days and decided to make [bone soup] to sell. [Clear-boiled mutton] is more expensive, [mutton offal soup] is too troublesome to handle the ingredients, or [bone soup] is just right.
He was also very familiar with this area. First, he went to a pancake shop and ordered 150 pancakes, asking the shop to deliver them to his home after they were made.
Then he went to buy lamb chops. The bone soup is more refreshing with lamb chops, and carrots can be added as ingredients.
When he got home, he began to process the ingredients, and then put the washed and cut lamb chops into the soup pot and boiled until the foam was removed. At this time, you can put in the seasoning bag and simmer slowly over low heat.
The carrots should be added later, so don't be too anxious.
This pot of soup needs to be stewed for at least two and a half hours, but the time should not be too long. It can be stewed to the point where the bones are about to fall off.
Slowly, the aroma of broth began to waft in the kitchen, and the flavor of spices was gradually released. When the aromas of the two are completely integrated, a pot of fragrant [bone soup] is almost ready.
Seasoning needs to be done before turning off the fire. In addition, some small ingredients also need to be prepared in advance, such as chopped green onions and coriander, as well as oil-splashed chili.
Lunch was solved at home, and he also took time to take a nap.
After four o'clock in the afternoon, Du Shaojie rode his tricycle and went to the vicinity of the school at a leisurely pace.
As a result, he was dumbfounded when he arrived at the place. After such a long time, this area was full of vendors. It was much more lively than when he was selling [Yangchun noodles] here.
After searching for a long time, he finally found an open space. He stopped the dining car and started to prepare.
The cooked lamb chops had been fished out and placed separately in a thermos bucket. The mutton bone soup was still in the soup pot, heated on the fire, to ensure that every customer could eat the hot [bone soup].
"Huh? Look, does the stall owner over there look like the boss who used to sell [Yangchun noodles]?"
As it was approaching mealtime, there were more customers in this area.
Several female students came out to look for food and happened to see Du Shaojie, who seemed familiar.
"Let's go and take a look."
Several girls walked to the front of the dining car and took a look at the small blackboard. They saw [bone soup] and baked cakes written on it.
After discussing, everyone decided to eat here and taste the taste of the bone soup.
"Boss, three bowls of [bone soup], three flatbreads."
"Okay!"
Du Shaojie opened his business. He first took out some lamb chops from the thermos and put them into three lunch boxes, then scooped some hot soup from the boiling soup pot and poured it in.
After asking the other party clearly about their needs, he sprinkled chopped green onions and coriander.
"Add chili oil yourself."
Du Shaojie handed the [bone soup] to them, and then gave them three flatbreads.
The three girls sat down happily and started to eat. The [bone soup] was rich in aroma, not at all smelly, and very delicious.
There were a lot of lamb chops, and the key was that there was still a lot of meat on it, which was very satisfying to eat.
Eating meat, drinking soup, and pairing it with flatbreads is simply better than anything else in the cold winter. After eating, the whole body feels comfortable.
"Not bad, not bad! It seems that we didn't recognize the wrong person."
"It's really the boss who sells [Yangchun noodles]. We are so lucky today."
