18 Congee (1/2)

The girl settled the payment using Wechat pay and left with her boyfriend. Jiang Feng wiped down the table quickly. Qiu Chen was staring dumbfounded at one side.

”Feng'ge, your store's requirements for finishing the entire plate are so high?” The social media post on Qiu Chen's phone hadn't been typed out completely, he had been completely shocked by the girl's tough behavior.

”She misunderstood.” Jiang Feng explained.

”Ding, One Reputation gained, Task Progress (3 / 100).”

”Feng'ge, let us help you.” Liu Zixuan took the lead in sending out the social media post and grabbed the plate.

Jiang Feng did not stop him either: ”Only my parents are in the back kitchen, you can just place the dishes in the dishwasher, ask my mom if you don't know how.”

Liu Zixuan said that he knew how to use the dishwasher and carried the dishes into the back kitchen.

”Ding, gained One Reputation gained, Task Progress (4 / 100).”

”Ding, gained One Reputation gained, Task Progress(5 / 100).”

”Ding, gained One Reputation gained, Task Progress(6 / 100).”

The other three also began to help out with simple tasks like taking meal orders and cleaning up the table. Although they were not as skilled as Jiang Feng, they would not make mistakes.

Jiang Feng also realized that his family had not thought things through. They had always felt that this would be like their original small shop, and wouldn't need to hire workers. It seemed that they had to recruit a few student workers.

He used to think that the small restaurants near his school were coldhearted whenever he saw them recruiting students to work for a measly wage of two meals and a few hundred dollars per month. Now that he had to start recruiting people, he realized that student workers were indeed the best choice.

The food was cheap. They could save money and hire enough help at the same time.

Liu Zixuan went into the kitchen for a long time. When he came out, he had a plate of Shredded pork with Garlic Sauce in his hands, and there was a suspicious smear on the corner of his mouth.

”How can you eat it sneakily by yourself!” Wang Hao could see at a glance that the corner of Liu Zixuan's mouth was fishy. Thinking of the meal they just had, he couldn't help but exclaim, ”It's impressive that you can stomach it.”

”Auntie poured me a cup of herbal tea.” Liu Zixuan said as he thought of the taste cheerfully.

When he entered the kitchen, he was surprised at how Jiang Feng's parents' body shape was so different from his. The instant the herbal tea entered his mouth, he no longer had the time to think more about it.

Auntie Jiang was really like an angel.

It's just that she appeared a little too well rounded.

...

The professors were the last guests to leave.

When the professors were leaving, Professor Li said a few words to Jiang Feng with a smile, causing Liu Zixuan, who was far away, to be stunned.

Out of all the people there, only he had taken Professor Li's classes. He also knew that Professor Li was a serious old man, who rarely smiled at his students, and would never go easy on the students during finals. He was a real-life Rakshasa.

”Feng'ge, what did Professor Li just say?” When the professors had left, Liu Zixuan went up to him and asked curiously.

”The Professor asked me if I was from Yanjing and if my grandfather's generation was from Yanjing.” Jiang Feng also felt that it was weird. They were just having a meal, why would Professor Li ask about that?

Jiang Jiankang was good at Shandong cuisine, not Beijing cuisine. Although they had some similarities, they were not enough to make people think that Jiang Jiankang was from Yanjing.

”Your family restaurant's main cuisine is Shandong cuisine, isn't it?” Liu Zixuan was also a little knowledgeable regarding food.

”Professor Li may have drunk the sour plum soup and thought it very similar to the authentic Yanjing flavor, prompting him to ask that.” Jiang Feng said.

”By the way, do you guys...” Jiang Feng had wanted to ask them if they would like to eat together, then immediately remembered that they had already eaten, so he changed his words: ”Do you want to eat with us tonight?”
