After hanging up the phone, Zhou Sui rushed into the kitchen, and soon a fragrant aroma wafted out from behind her.
Two shop assistants arrived just as the cookies were coming out of the oven. Zhou Sui had made cupcakes and cookies today, which were not only beautiful but also delicious.
Looking at the neatly arranged cakes, Zhou Sui couldn't help but think that if Song Qi'an were here, he would definitely get a share of these freshly baked cakes.
Thinking this, Zhou Sui suddenly paused. She didn't know when it started, but she seemed to habitually share anything new or interesting with Song Qi'an.
Even though he's no longer in the city, she still subconsciously thinks of him.
"Sigh." Zhou Sui sighed softly, somewhat puzzled by her own thoughts.
"Boss, these cakes and cookies are sure to sell very well today, why are you sighing?" The shop assistant came to the kitchen just in time to see Zhou Sui looking so dejected.
Yes! She shouldn't sigh. She's really into the cake today, she should cheer up.
As soon as school let out at noon, Xu Yibai rushed to the store. Today was supposed to be his first day of work, but because the flyers he ordered yesterday had arrived, he had already spent half the day distributing them in the boys' dormitory.
As for the girls' dormitory, he couldn't go in; he could only stand guard at the entrance and hand out flyers to anyone he saw.
The effect was quite significant. Several students had already asked him to order meals during class in the morning, because the set meals on the flyer were not much more expensive than eating at the restaurant.
Without having to queue at the store, food can be delivered to your dorm room. Many students with extra money still choose delivery.
Besides verbally ordering food from Xu Yibai, I also ordered food by phone.
Both shops have landline phones installed, and Zhou Sui was sitting next to the phone around noon.
During the entire lunch break, Zhou Sui was responsible for answering phone calls, delivering orders to the kitchen, and preparing meals for Xu Yibai.
There is a bicycle in the shop, a second-hand bicycle that Zhou Sui bought. He originally thought it would be convenient for getting around, but because he was lazy and didn't go out much, he never used it.
She simply added two bamboo baskets, allowing Xu Yibai to turn it into a dedicated food delivery vehicle.
Zhou Meimei even made a flag with "Zhou's Snack Shop" and "Zhou Zhou Milk Tea Shop" written on the front and back respectively.
The bright red flag was planted right at the dragon's head, making it extremely eye-catching.
Xu Yibai returned from a delivery and was still praising the act, saying, "Nobody knew what I did for a living, but when they saw my flag, some people even asked me if I could deliver food."
As he spoke, he pulled out a small notebook and some money from his pocket. "These are the orders I received on the road just now, and the money I collected from the previous orders."
Zhou Sui hadn't expected the flag to be so useful, and immediately praised it, "Assistant Zhou, this month's bonus is secured!"
This is the store's consistent standard: Zhou Sui will give bonuses to anyone whose good ideas and suggestions are adopted as encouragement, so the store's employees are indeed very dedicated to their work.
Zhou Meimei blushed upon being praised, and spoke softly, "I just wanted to try it, but I didn't expect it to work so well."
Xu Yibai never stopped. In the time it took him to return from one trip, the meals for the next trip were already prepared. In addition to the meals from the snack shop, there were also meals from the milk tea shop, but the snack shop meals were more numerous.
Those hot meals couldn't be delayed, so as soon as he finished handing them over to Zhou Sui, Xu Yibai hurriedly walked outside.
"Hey, Xu, wait a minute." Zhou Meimei called out as he was about to leave, but Xu Yibai didn't hear her because he was in such a hurry and the store was noisy.
By the time Zhou Meimei came out from behind the counter and chased after Xu Yibai to the door, he had already ridden away on his bicycle.
"What's wrong? Did he take less than what he was supposed to take?" Zhou Sui asked as she came over from the kitchen.
"No." Zhou Meimei subconsciously put the things in her hand behind her back, then went behind the counter to continue working.
Although Xu Yibai was a temporary worker at the store, Zhou Sui treated him the same as other employees, and the store provided him with two meals a day.
Of course, mealtimes should be staggered from the guests' mealtimes. Since Xu Yibai had to go to class in the afternoon, Zhou Sui directly asked the kitchen to prepare a lunch for him first, so he could eat while waiting for his meal.
Xu Yibai was so moved that he didn't know what to say. He secretly thought that he had to be even faster so that he could deliver more food and the store could make more money.
"Eat slowly, there are still a few orders that haven't come out yet." Seeing him wolfing down his food, Zhou Meimei quickly poured him a glass of water.
"Thank you." Xu Yibai quickly reached out to take the water.
His hands were rough, with large knuckles, and some were bluish.
Zhou Meimei's gaze fell on his fingers; two of them were swollen and had scars.
Spring has arrived, and it's not common to see people with chilblains on their hands anymore. Xu Yibai is one of them.
Zhou Meimei looked around, then took a pair of gloves out of her pocket and handed them over.
"Wear gloves, otherwise the chilblains on your hands won't heal until summer."
This kind of chilblain actually requires careful attention. It's easy for it to relapse if you get cold, even when it's just starting to heal. This is the case with Xu Yibai's hands.
Xu Yibai looked at the gloves in front of him with a flattered expression, and quickly waved his hand to refuse, "Thank you, Assistant Zhou, but I have thick skin and don't need gloves."
Zhou Meimei didn't care whether he needed them or not, and simply put the gloves in his hands, saying, "Here, take them. What if your frostbite gets worse and delays our food delivery?"
The way she spoke with a stern face really gave her an air of authority: "Now these hands of yours are no longer just yours, they belong to our shop."
