“Boss, are you also from the Northeast?”
Xu Le was stopped by a customer. He turned around and smiled. “No.”
“Then how can you make such authentic pork?”
“Before I ate it, I thought that 60 yuan per plate was a little expensive. But after tasting it, I felt that it was really worth it!”
The customer ate with relish and couldn’t help but reminisce about his hometown. He said, “It will definitely be snowing in my hometown in a few months. When the snow is thick enough to step on, the snow will enter the shoe. It will be so cold.”
Lu Yuxi interrupted, “I’ve never seen snow in my life.”
“…No way.” Xu Le said in surprise, “Really? Has anyone never seen snow before?”
“Yeah.”
“Boss, is there a shop nearby hiring?”
Suddenly, a man in a suit and leather shoes asked this question. Xu Le looked at him and felt that he did not look like someone who needed to find a job in a restaurant. He shook his head and said, “I have recruited all the people I need for my restaurant. Why don’t you ask other restaurants?”
“Hahaha, it would be great if there are really shops hiring people. I’ll work in the vicinity so that I can eat your food three meals a day. It will be so satisfying!”
Xu Le could tell that he was joking and said, “If you’re working at a restaurant, yet you always come to my restaurant for meals, your boss would definitely scold you!”
The customers in the shop laughed and the atmosphere became more relaxed.
There was a shortage of steamed pork buns, and the Eight Treasure Fortune Bag was also selling very well. Although it was a limited dish for the day, Xu Le didn’t limit the amount and sold more than 300 servings in a day. When it was almost time to close the shop, he had almost become dazed from fatigue.
At first, Lu Yuxi was still collecting the cash in the front, but later on, she could not keep up with preparing the egg skin. The process was simple, but it took time. If one was not careful, it would be easily burnt.
When she saw that the customers in front of her were ordering on their phones, she went to the kitchen to help. When she started working, she even happily boasted to Xu Le, “I told you that I could help in the kitchen, didn’t I? You still don’t believe me!”
In the end, in the afternoon, Lu Yuxi felt that she could barely lift her arms and immediately escaped.
Li Qing also came out to nag at her and said, “You won’t make it like this. In the line of being a chef, you have to practice. If you practice more, you won’t be so tired!”
Lu Yuxi rolled her eyes and couldn’t be bothered to argue with him.
Li Qing pointed at her and laughed. “How can a girl like you be so weak? Hey, hey, someone’s here. Quickly stand up and collect the payment. Stop laying on the table.”
In the end, after Li Qing bragged about it, he also couldn’t stand straight after dinner time and kept rubbing his wrists and neck.
When he saw Xu Le cutting the ingredients meticulously, he could not help but be shocked. “Master Xu, how is your stamina so good?”
“Yeah?”
Xu Le looked at him and continued cutting the vegetables. “This is my favorite job. When I’m really engrossed in it, I won’t feel tired.”
Li Qing nodded in admiration.
In the next few days, Xu Le had the time to teach Li Qing how to make the dishes on the menu. And he would follow Xu Le’s way of cooking the exact same way.
Li Qing admired him from the bottom of his heart. He was humble and eager to learn. Very soon, his culinary skills made a qualitative leap.
Before Xu Le went to film the show on Friday, Li Qing could at least guarantee that his store would not close for business.
When the news of Xu Le wanting to film a show was released, his social media platform was immediately filled with upset people.
Lu Yuxi was in charge of the publicity and marketing of the Eight-year-old cafeteria. She was used to these comments and raised her phone to show Xu Le.
She said, “Everyone can’t bear to part with you. Hahaha, to be precise, they can’t bear to part with your cooking.”
Xu Le scrolled down.
