"good!"
Wang Fang and Chen Qi nodded and quickly began to recall Zhiyin's actions and each step.
Fortunately, the two of them had worked as cooks before, so they were very familiar with kitchen utensils and quick-witted. They had been itching to try it out for a long time.
Upon hearing this, although a little nervous, she couldn't wait and began to skillfully take charge of the cooking, using the duck to replicate each step as if she were making a copy.
The confidant watched with a smile, occasionally offering a word of advice.
Soon, the dry pot duck was also quickly served. Looking at the dish, it looked delicious and smelled wonderful, and its taste was almost identical to that of the dish made by Zhiyin.
For some reason, Wang Fang and Chen Qi felt an urge to cry; they were simply overwhelmed with emotion.
"Not bad, it's almost done with my cooking."
Zhiyin smiled and picked up a piece of meat to taste. Then her eyes brightened, and she gave a thumbs up, praising it generously.
Wang Fang and Chen Qiming had experienced a lot and had been praised by their hosts before, but for some reason, they felt very excited and proud at this moment.
It felt like I was being recognized, which was quite wonderful.
"Wow, sister, you have to eat dry pot while you're drawing!"
Suddenly, a pair of fluffy and adorable heads peeked in through the doorway.
Upon closer inspection, Zhiyin was astonished to see Zhihua, whose eyes seemed to glow green.
Zhihua was so captivated by the rich aroma that she was practically drooling with envy. She couldn't wait to finish her work and immediately ran over.
"Haha, eat, eat it all!"
After saying that, Zhiyin thought for a moment, scooped out a portion of the dry pot chicken and dry pot duck and put them into a food box, then gestured to Li Dachuan and Wang Fang to take the freshly cooked dishes to the table outside.
"Huh...is it time for dinner?"
Just then, Xiao Jiu, carrying the notebook, hopped in with Gou Dan, taking a big, enticing sniff of the delicious aroma.
"Haha, come on, come on, it's just the right time to eat dry pot. First, wash your hands and set out the chopsticks."
Everyone quickly set off and sat down at the large round table, starting to show off their meat like crazy.
"Eat slowly, eat slowly, don't choke. If it's not enough, we'll stir-fry some more vegetables in it."
Zhiyin looked at Zhihua and Xiaojiu, who looked like they were starving ghosts reincarnated, and couldn't help but smile helplessly.
She's right. Although it's cooked in a small pot, the portion is very generous, so a single pot is enough to feed two or three people until they're full.
Not to mention there are two pots here in total.
They were all cooked in portions exactly as they would be sold to customers after the official opening.
"By the way, Dog Egg, if any customers have leftovers and need to pack them up or take them away, that's fine too."
"In addition, if there are leftovers that others can't finish eating and don't take with them, we can collect them first and then pack them up to give to the beggars outside."
As soon as Zhiyin finished speaking, Gou Dan cautiously asked, "Then, Sister Zhiyin, can I take the leftovers back for my father to eat?"
Zhiyin was taken aback at first, then helplessly patted his head, "No need."
Dog Egg immediately lowered his head in disappointment, realizing that he had indeed been daydreaming. How could he possibly eat and take things at the same time?
Sister Zhiyin has already helped him so much; if it weren't for her, his father might still be bedridden!
Knowing that Gou Dan had misunderstood, Zhiyin patted his head gently, speechless. "What are you thinking, you silly boy? Do you think I'm the kind of vicious boss who exploits his employees?"
"Your family owns a restaurant, do you think I'd let you eat the leftovers of our customers?"
"ah?"
Gou Dan looked up at Zhi Yin in a daze, but Zhi Yin didn't look at him. Instead, she looked at Li Da Chuan and Xiao Jiu and the others, her tone unusually serious, "Since you're following me, I can't let you go hungry. How could I let you eat the leftovers that the guests don't want?"
"Whether it's Xiao Jiu or Gou Dan, if they get hungry in the future, Aunt Wang and Aunt Chen can cook for them. They can eat whatever they want."
"As for your father, you can bring a portion for him to eat as well."
"It's just a little food, I'm not that stingy!"
After Zhiyin finished speaking to Gou Dan with a smile, everyone except Zhihua couldn't help but have tears welling up in their eyes.
Furthermore, as Zhiyin said, you only need to work ten hours a day, and you can rest whenever there is no one around.
The fact that they were given a day off every week moved them to tears.
"Waaaaah... Boss, you're so kind!"
Xiao Jiu immediately clung to Zhiyin's leg and wouldn't let go, his eyes filled with gratitude. It was the first time he had ever met such a kind boss who didn't exploit people!
He was treated better than his father, who sold him for two taels of silver in order to remarry and find a wife.
Since his mother died, he had never been able to get enough to eat or wear. Now, he can not only eat meat, but also enjoy so many delicious dishes, and he even receives a monthly allowance.
He truly felt that his current life was so warm and wonderful, as if he were living in a dream.
But if it really is a dream, he would rather never wake up from it.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Zhiyin quietly, his beautiful eyes filled with even greater determination. He silently made up his mind that he would follow Zhiyin wholeheartedly from now on.
Be her most loyal servant! Be willing to give your life for her!
"Good children, as long as you behave well, your good days are yet to come!"
Zhiyin smiled and patted Xiao Jiu's head.
Actually, she initially wanted to give them two days off a week, but then she thought it wouldn't work. After all, it's a restaurant, and even with two days off a week, there still wouldn't be enough staff.
Once they become long-term employees, perhaps they can get a little more vacation time.
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the meal, filled with anticipation for the future and a strong sense of belonging to the shop.
"Everyone has been very busy these past few days. The initial preparations for the store are almost complete. Everyone is getting familiar with the relevant procedures and then they can take a break."
After lunch, Zhiyin told everyone to have free time. She glanced at the time and saw that it was already around 5 p.m., and Xing Luxi and the others were about to finish school.
Immediately, together with Zhihua, they took some of the dry pot chicken and dry pot duck that they had just put in the food box and went to the entrance of Qingchuan Academy.
Qingchuan Academy is not far from the dry pot restaurant, about 500 meters away as the crow flies, so she and Zhihua arrived at the entrance quickly.
Before they even met Xing Luxi and her companion, they encountered other male and female customers who were also students at the academy.
They all looked at Zhiyin with resentful eyes.
