Chapter 083: Eating Watermelon at the Food Court (11)
Song Xiaoyan and Qin Zhengyi in the preparation room also heard the boss's voice, and they looked at each other tacitly.
The salary the boss agreed with them was 180 food coins a day, but now he is taking advantage of the opportunity to lower the price to 100. What a profiteer.
Feng Xiansu did not greet the two players. They already disliked each other and she really didn't want to maintain superficial friendship.
She noticed that the two men deliberately avoided some ingredients when preparing them.
I walked over and took a closer look, and found that these ingredients had expired.
It seems that everyone has reached the same goal today: not to use expired raw materials.
Feng Xiansu secretly took out her communicator and took photos of the production date and shelf life of the raw materials as evidence, then turned and went to the bathroom.
Calling up the communicator's operating interface, she pressed the "Report" button without hesitation.
"Hello? Is this the food safety inspector? I want to report!" The tycoon Zhou Dazhi with a crew cut was making a report call with a smug look on his face at this moment.
Ji Zehan, who was standing aside, could clearly see the appearance of the person opposite him through the image projected by his communicator.
That was... the dormitory manager who lived in their dormitory last night.
It turns out that the dormitory manager is the NPC responsible for supervising all shops and stalls in this dungeon?
This utilization rate is quite high.
"Please explain in detail." Unlike the middle-aged female voice that sounded in the dormitory guard room last night, the inspector's voice this time was younger and more mechanical, sounding particularly cold.
Zhou Da didn't pay attention to the details in the other person's voice. He just complained fluently: "I want to report the fried skewers shop in the food court. Half of the semi-finished products they use are expired. This is a serious violation of food safety regulations!
“The hygiene inside the store is also not up to standard!
“Employee treatment is also irregular!
"Please investigate thoroughly!"
After Jiang Minxu was fired from the Diao Zha Shao Bing shop, he walked around the food court for a long time and came to the door of the fried skewers shop.
He found that the store was hiring again. He looked inside and did not see Pavilion Master Ji and Rich Man Zhou, so he chose to go forward and apply for the job.
With the experience of being fired before, Jiang Minxu was more careful this time. He no longer asked his boss explicitly not to use expired ingredients, but instead avoided all expired items when preparing his own work.
The owner of the fried skewers shop just lost two part-time employees and is short of staff.
Seeing that the food court was about to open, and that the man seemed to be someone who could work steadily, I didn't be picky and hired him directly.
Jiang Minxu felt relieved after regaining his part-time employee certificate, and then began to worry about Ji Zehan.
Why didn’t they continue working in the skewers shop? Were they fired like me?
After inserting the chip into the communicator, he was about to send a message to ask Pavilion Master Ji when he saw Mo Qianhe sharing the information he had just received from Liu Tang in the group chat and making a series of extended speculations:
“It seems that the businesses of all the shops in the food court do not belong to individuals but to the food court.
"The so-called 'bosses' of these shops are merely 'store managers', responsible for managing and operating the shop's business. If they fail to meet the requirements, they are likely to be fired or replaced."
Jiang Minxu read Mo Qianhe's message carefully, but before he could figure out what the message was for, he saw three people coming to the door of the fried skewers shop.
To be more precise, it's a robot plus two people.
Walking in front was the dormitory manager of the part-time staff dormitory, followed by the swaggering Mr. Zhou and the expressionless Ji Zehan.
Jiang Minxu and Ji Zehan looked at each other meaningfully before looking at Zhou Dada, as if they were thinking about something.
Ji Zehan didn't expect that President Jiang would actually turn around and come to work at the fried skewers shop. Although his expression did not change, the fists hanging at his sides clenched unconsciously.
I hope Jiang Minxu hasn't done anything illegal yet, he thought.
The inspector raised his hand, and a document appeared in the air in front of his palm. He said to the owner of the fried skewers shop, "I've received a report that your shop has been selling expired semi-finished products for a long time. I'm here to inspect it."
When the owner of the fried skewers shop saw that the inspector was followed by the two people who worked there yesterday, he knew they were up to no good and quickly shouted, "Boss! I'm innocent! How dare I do such a thing! It was those two villains who were interfering! They wanted to frame me!"
The inspector ignored the other party's shouting and walked straight to the freezer in the back kitchen.
Seeing this, Jiang Minxu tactfully stepped aside.
How could he not understand? This robot, the only "famous" one in the entire dungeon, was their dormitory manager at night and a food hygiene inspector during the day. It was no exaggeration to say that it was the NPC with the most power in the entire dungeon.
You can't have any grudges against her.
The owner of the fried skewers shop saw Jiang Minxu move aside and realized that he couldn't be relied upon, so he quickly blocked the freezer and clung to the door tightly to prevent it from opening.
Unexpectedly, the inspector's eyes emitted X-rays, and he could see everything stored in the freezer clearly by scanning from top to bottom.
"We have detected that there are indeed a large number of expired foods in the freezer. The report is true. The fried skewers shop will be closed for rectification immediately!" The inspector said with a wave of his finger.
The fried skewers shop owner's wrists were pulled up from in front of the freezer door, and with a "bang" they were sucked together like magnets.
The boss turned around and tried to run to the back door, but his body was controlled by the inspector and was constantly pulled out of the store.
While struggling, his body hit the sturdy serving table, and the corner of the table left hideous scratches on his metal shell.
Ji Zehan looked at the scene indifferently, gazing at the scratches in a trance, and couldn't help but feel that the marks on the NPC's neck looked a bit like a "W".
Finally, the owner of the fried skewers shop gave up his futile struggle, and uncontrollably followed the inspector who turned and left, out of the shop.
The owner of the fried skewers shop was still crying out "injustice!", but when he saw Zhou Da and the other man standing outside the shop, he started cursing again: "Shameless ants, using such despicable tactics!"
Zhou Da scratched his ears and suddenly remembered the gossip collected by his adopted nephew.
He walked up and whispered in the boss's ear, "Is the owner of the milk tea shop your lover?"
The skewers shop owner was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and then he heard the person across from him continue, "I saw with my own eyes that he was also having an affair with the owner of the shaved pancake shop. You're cheating on me, bro."
"You're talking nonsense!" The fried skewers shop owner was even more furious when he heard this. He wanted to beat Zhou Da up, but he was completely restrained at the moment and could not do anything to him.
The live broadcast room was filled with laughter:
"Oh my, it's really a murder."
"The rich are a bit wicked this week, hahaha."
At this moment, Jiang Minxu suddenly said, "Wait a minute."
Hearing the shout, several people turned around to look.
The slowly descending roller shutter door of the fried skewers shop stopped, and Jiang Minxu stood in the dim light behind the door, looking a bit mysterious.
"Do you have any objection to my decision?" the inspector asked Jiang Minxu.
Jiang Minxu took a few slow steps, ducked down and got out of the shutter door, and replied, "Yes."
Ji Zehan looked at Jiang Minxu, his eyes flickering with light, and he was very curious about what the other party would say.
Zhou Daze's face was filled with rage, and he was worried that the other party would ruin his business, so he warned, "Be careful what you say."
When Jiang Minxu heard that the fried skewers shop was going to close for renovations, he realized that once the shop closed, he would be unemployed again.
There were only a few minutes left before the food court opened for customers, and it was obviously too late to find another job.
If he doesn't find a way to keep his current job, he will become yesterday's Zhou Youwei.
Jiang Minxu glanced at Ji Zehan and tapped his communicator with his finger, signaling him to read the group message. Then he turned to the inspector and said sincerely, "Your inspection results of our store are completely correct. However, there is no need to close our store."
Seeing that the inspector had no intention of interrupting him, Jiang Minxu continued his story:
“As one of the most profitable stores in the food court, our restaurant’s continued operation is crucial to the profitability of the entire food court.
"As the food court inspector, I believe you are very clear about this."
The inspector was not convinced and replied sternly: "But using expired food is detrimental to the long-term interests of the food court."
Jiang Minxu nodded. "That's right. So, what we should do now is to clear out all expired food in the store, replenish fresh food in a timely manner, and continue to maintain store operations.
"Are you right?"
The inspector looked back at the kushigekake shop owner who was restrained by him and shook his head: "But he is not qualified to continue to be the store manager."
Jiang Minxu agreed: "This gentleman is indeed not worthy of continuing to serve as store manager. However, we can choose someone else to temporarily serve as store manager."
At this time, Ji Zehan had already read Mo Qianhe's message and understood Jiang Minxu's thoughts.
He leaned over and whispered something in Zhou Da's ear.
Zhou Da's eyes lit up instantly, and he stepped forward to introduce himself to the inspector: "As a whistleblower and a former employee of this store, I am willing to take the initiative to assume the responsibilities of store manager and ensure the future stable operation of the fried skewers shop."
The inspector looked at Zhou Dada. Her stiff face showed no like or dislike, but her brief silence expressed her doubt.
Ji Zehan stepped forward and explained, "This Mr. Zhou not only has a thorough understanding of the operation of a fried skewers shop, but he also has experience in successfully running a large enterprise. He is the best candidate to manage the shop."
The inspector did not ask why Mr. Zhou, who had run a large enterprise, ended up working part-time in a skewers shop.
She made a quick decision, took out the "store manager" identity chip from the skewers shop owner's arm, handed it to Zhou Dada, and turned around and left with the robot.
"No! I'm innocent!" The robot was still wailing desperately.
Zhou Da inserted the chip into his communicator and suddenly became the temporary manager of the fried skewers shop.
He was in high spirits and immediately hired Pavilion Master Ji as his part-time employee. Together with Chairman Jiang, the part-time employee left by the previous store manager, he had exactly two employees.
Zhou Dazhi directed the two to throw away all the expired food in the freezer, while purchasing new ingredients through the exclusive store manager's operation interface.
"You two work hard, and I promise not to fire you two."
Listening to Zhou Da's big plan, Ji Zehan and Jiang Minxu looked at each other without saying much.
"The food court is about to open and customers will be arriving soon. Please be prepared." An announcement was made in the square.
A large number of customers began to appear in the fried skewers shops, bringing with them freshly produced semi-finished products.
Zhou Da was comfortably directing Pavilion Master Ji and Chairman Jiang to work, while he himself lay on the innermost folding chair to rest, feeling very comfortable.
He really likes this position of temporary store manager.
Wouldn’t it be great if I could do this until I clear the level?
Just as he was thinking about it, he received a message from the owner of the milk tea shop: "I heard that handsome guy, you have become the new owner of the fried skewers shop. Congratulations~"
Zhou Da was overjoyed. He hadn't expected to be able to break into the NPC circle so quickly. He quickly replied, "No, no, I'm just the temporary store manager."
"Oh, you are so humble. Humble men are the most attractive." The milk tea shop owner continued to flatter.
Zhou Dazhi was not averse to this.
But...if this happened in the rest area, and a beautiful boss was being so flattering with her, he might be able to tease her for fun, but when he thought that the person opposite him was a headless robot, he couldn't muster any interest at all.
He thought that his response was too active and it would make him look less worthy, so he simply ignored the other party and waited to see what the other party was going to do.
Within five minutes, the milk tea shop owner sent another message: "Our two stores have always had a mutually beneficial sales cooperation strategy. With the receipts from the other store that day, you can enjoy a 10% discount at your own store. Are you interested in continuing the cooperation?"
