Chapter 19 (2/2)

However, Xu Le quickly asked with a suspicious look, “You suddenly gave such a big bow… Are you thinking of not paying?”

Zhang Tong didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

After all, he was the head chef of a big hotel. How could he owe a child payment for food?

Zhang Tong took out a hundred-dollar bill from his pocket and handed it to Xu Le.

He also handed Xu Le a name card.

“Let me introduce myself again. My name is Zhang Tong, and I’m the head chef of the Heavenly Restaurant. If possible, I’d like to invite you to join our hotel.”

“Heavenly Restaurant?”

Xu Le blinked his big black eyes.

Soon, he recalled.

The Heavenly Restaurant seemed to be a famous restaurant in Shanghai. It was ranked in the top five among the top ten restaurants in Shanghai every year. It had been passed down for 124 years, and was considered a genuine century-old restaurant.

Xu Le accepted the money and name card but did not agree to it.

“I’ll think about it.”

“Might as well.”

Zhang Tong didn’t continue to ask him. After all, he was only an eight-year-old kid.

Even if he really came to their restaurant to cook, he could not be an official employee. Otherwise… wouldn’t their Heavenly Restaurant be hiring child labor? That would be illegal.

“Little chef, today’s bowl of Egg Fried Rice has taught me a lot. You deserve that bow.”

Zhang Tong said that from the bottom of his heart.

Although he felt a little regretful that he didn’t get to taste the Oil Doused Noodles and Kung Pao Chicken that day, this bowl of Golden Egg Fried Rice had completely convinced him.

Just now, Zhang Tong even had the thought of becoming his disciple.

It wasn’t for anything else but for this bowl of Egg Fried Rice.

If he could master it, the Heavenly Restaurant would have one more signature dish in the future, which would be of great help to the restaurant’s ranking.

After Zhang Tong left.

Xu Le quietly cleaned up the shop and brought Xu Tian home.

“How tiring!”

After Xu Tian fell asleep, Xu Le lay on the bed and felt his back aching.

He had set up his stall for about five hours and had been cooking the whole time.

This was an unbearable amount of work for an adult, let alone a child like Xu Le.

But at the same time, Xu Le discovered another use of the system.

He usually practiced cooking in the system space, which seemed to have improved his physical fitness.

At the very least, his body was only a little tired after such high-intensity cooking. It was not to the extent that he could not take it.

For Xu Le, this was enough.

“Let me calculate the turnover today!”

Xu Le’s eyes lit up at the thought of the booming business that day.

He got up from the bed and checked his account balance.

His Alipay had a balance of 3700 yuan, WeChat had a balance of 5400 yuan, and Xu Le also received more than 900 yuan in cash.

All of them added up to about 10,000 yuan.

“Oh God…”

Even Xu Le was shocked by this number.

The requirement for the system mission was 5,000 yuan in revenue, and he had exceeded the requirement to complete the mission. He had even achieved twice the mission’s target!

[Congratulations, Host, you have completed the mission!]

[100 gourmet points awarded!]

The mechanical voice of the system sounded in Xu Le’s ears. He looked at his system panel again and realized that the number behind his Gourmet points had changed from 0 to 100.

Besides the cost, Xu Le had earned at least 5,000 yuan that day.

In the food and beverage industry, earning half the amount was not a lot.

After all, all of Xu Le’s ingredients were carefully selected by him. The meat was selected from farm chickens, and the tomatoes were all fresh and juicy. All of these would increase the cost.

“Enough to pay off my mortgage.”

Xu Le lay on the bed and smiled happily.

He no longer had to worry about the rent. It was a huge burden that he had to bear..
