Chapter 330 Women Can Do Work Just Like Women
Wan Qiqi's three points and one line.
Home, Hefeng Academy, Xinglong Restaurant.
After sending Pingping to the academy, the first thing she did was return to the restaurant.
Today is the eighth day of the lunar new year, and we will open for business the day after tomorrow.
The restaurant's setup and hygiene were all arranged properly; her only concern was the food.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, she went straight to the kitchen.
The cooks in the kitchen and the assistants preparing the ingredients started chatting.
"Brother Lei, are you really convinced by Manager Wan?"
Lei Zi glanced back at A Bing, who was washing vegetables, his expression complicated, and said, "They're capable, what can I say?"
"She's just a woman, what are you afraid of?"
“It’s not a matter of being afraid or not!” Lei Zi casually picked up a radish and started eating. “If she weren’t a woman, with her skills, after two years of practice, I’m afraid even the restaurants in Yunhe County wouldn’t be able to afford her!”
"so……"
"So I'm not afraid, I admire!" Lei Zi's radish was crunchy and delicious, making people want to try it themselves to see if it was really that good.
"Besides, it's not like there aren't women in our industry. I've heard that there's a female chef at the Liangzhou Restaurant, and she's really amazing!"
He sighed again as he spoke, "It's a pity that after she got married, her husband's family wouldn't let her work, saying that the kitchen was full of men and that being together all the time would ruin her reputation!"
Ah Bing nodded, "I think her husband's family is right. Women should stay at home, and it's a man's job to earn money to support the family."
"Ah Bing, you're not married yet, are you?"
Wan Qiqi's sudden appearance startled A Bing.
He jumped up from the stool, looked at Wan Qiqi helplessly, and replied, "No...no..."
He seemed somewhat bewildered and confused.
Wan Qiqi smiled at him and said, "Then take your time looking. There's no rush. We'll get married when you've earned enough money to support her and the child."
“Okay…” A-Bing looked confused, not understanding why Wan Qiqi suddenly asked this.
Lei Zi, however, sensed that Wan Qiqi had another meaning behind her words.
This woman must have been eavesdropping on their conversation outside, and heard me talking about the cook from Liangzhou, which is why she acted this way.
He immediately explained, "I didn't chat during work hours. I was just taking a break after finishing my work and said a few random words."
Wan Qiqi stared at the radish in his hand that had been bitten twice, raising an eyebrow. "Is the radish that delicious?"
Lei Zi immediately hid the radish behind his back, "I...I just wanted to try it out because of the new guy Robbie."
Wan Qiqi ignored him and walked around him to Panda's side.
Panda was engrossed in studying the recipes, oblivious to everything else, and didn't even notice when Wan Qiqi came in.
Wan Qiqi looked at him for a while before asking, "Is there anything else you don't understand?"
Panda paused for a moment, then looked up and said, "No, I just didn't expect that these ingredients could be prepared in so many ways."
He closed the recipe book and stared at Wan Qiqi for a long time. "How did you come up with these methods?"
"I saw this when I went to Yuzhou last year, and combined it with my own ideas, which led to these new dishes." Wan Qiqi spoke without blushing, and it was no different from her usual way of speaking.
"I also brought back some seeds. If all goes well, our restaurant should be able to produce a batch of new dishes that no one has ever tried before in a few months."
Wan Qiqi's lips curled up, exuding immense confidence, as if she wasn't guessing but solemnly telling Panda that she could grow a batch of vegetables that no one had ever eaten before.
Panda was even more convinced of her words, "Okay, I'll wait for you."
Wan Qiqi nodded, "However, the premise is that you have to help me set up the restaurant and get the opening done."
She turned to everyone in the kitchen and said, "The opening of the restaurant is not enough for just me and Manager Zhu; it requires everyone's joint efforts."
"If the restaurant opens successfully and business is good, you will have a stable income. If the restaurant is profitable, you won't have to worry about your wages, and your wages can even be increased according to your work ability."
"Here, I hope everyone can do their best to make the restaurant's opening a success. On the opening day, I will also come to the kitchen to help out and work together with everyone to ensure that Xinglong Restaurant can successfully establish itself in Hefeng Town."
After boosting the morale of the kitchen staff, Wan Qiqi went to the front hall.
Unlike the casual chatter in the kitchen, everyone listened attentively to Zhu Chengye's instructions on what they should do after the guests arrived.
Wan Qiqi sat aside and listened for a while before feeling relieved that there were no problems.
Although Zhu Chengye had never run a restaurant before, he had experience in business.
When it comes to entertaining guests, he has more say than I do.
As the opening date approached, the restaurant opened a small door to allow people coming and going to inquire, as well as for staff setting up the stage.
Wan Qiqi rearranged the layout of the first-floor lobby again, preparing to add a stage in the center to facilitate performances on the opening day.
Of course, there are some special features she set up that need to be rebuilt.
Suddenly, a familiar face appeared among the workers coming and going.
"Gousheng!" Wan Qiqi called out to Wu Gousheng.
Wu Gousheng paused for a moment, looked at Wan Qiqi, concealed the complex emotions on his face, and walked over with a smile, "Sister Qi!"
Wan Qiqi took everything in and sighed inwardly. She said, "Come upstairs with me, I have something to tell you."
Wu Gousheng didn't ask what was going on, and obediently followed them upstairs into the private room, closing the door behind them.
He stood there blankly, waiting for Wan Qiqi's instructions.
Wan Qiqi gestured for him to sit down before asking, "Have you made arrangements for your brother's studies at the academy?"
Wu Gousheng was taken aback.
How did she know?
Then I realized that Pingping had also gone to the academy, so we must have run into each other.
