Chapter 26 - Chapter 26 - 26 Coming to Steal the Master’s Techniques (2/2)

“You should take a good rest too, and besides, you’re not working here full-time. You’re a teacher!”

Tong Ya pouted like a child.

“Since ancient times, isn’t repaying a debt of gratitude always like this? Lady White Snake, Sea Snail Maiden, Red Fish Lady, which one didn’t work from dawn to dusk tirelessly?”

Chen Yu’s head was filled with question marks—how could you compare real life to fairy tales?

Before he could reply, the supplier for the raw materials arrived.

Chen Yu hurriedly received the materials into the food truck, banging out his preparations at a rapid pace.

After all, the renovation of the storefront was today, and there might be many things he needed to do.

Tong Ya also put on her work gear, following Chen Yu around like a little shadow.

Though these past few days had been tiring, Chen Yu’s pace had unknowingly picked up.

And his techniques for kneading dough and preparing fillings were firmly etched into Tong Ya’s memory.

As usual, after crushing the raw materials, she deftly shaped the fillings herself, her skills so professional they even matched Chen Yu’s.

“Looks like it won’t be long before you learn all the tricks I know! You’re taking my job away from me!”

Tong Ya giggled, “So you should work harder and come up with some new dishes!”

Chen Yu turned to look at the store behind him.

“It is about time to come up with some new dishes!”

Working together, the two were indeed fast.

After Chen Yu finished the dough, he immediately started wrapping fried cakes and vegetable turnovers.

To his surprise, Tong Ya had learned this process as well.

But compared to Chen Yu, Tong Ya was still slow.

Chen Yu could produce five while Tong Ya could barely finish one.

“Wrapping clockwise is a bit faster!” Chen Yu didn’t mind at all and kept instructing her.

Tong Ya was eager to learn, and sure enough, her speed improved a lot.

She looked at her accomplishments, feeling very pleased.

By four o’clock, when the crowd started coming, the two had already wrapped quite a few semi-finished products.

At six-thirty, Xie Jiang also arrived with dozens of workers in front of the food truck.

“Old Chen! Our crew’s meals will be settled here for the next few days, so you’ll have to work a bit harder!”

Chen Yu was somewhat surprised, “You guys are here to renovate for me, I should be treating you to meals! Why settle any meals here?”

“No way, everything must be kept separate! No confusion.”

Saying that, he directly paid.

“Boss Chen, are you switching to a bigger shop?” A young girl asked expectantly.

Chen Yu pointed to the shop across the street, “Yes, right across! Once the renovation is finished, we’ll move in there!”

With that, the queue of people at the scene erupted into chatter.

“With business booming like this, it’s time to expand. Otherwise, we can’t even get a seat to eat!”

“Make sure to let us know ahead of time when you open, so we can come support you!”

“We’ve got to do justice to Boss Chen’s grand opening!”

…

Word spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and soon everyone coming to the food truck knew Chen Yu was expanding his business.

At six-thirty, Tong Ya washed up a bit and went to the third floor to pick up Tuan Tuan from school.

Just then, Chen Yu suddenly noticed a girl skulking around the food truck.

She was dressed in a panda costume, completely wrapped up, and in her hands, she held a paintbrush and a sketchpad, continuously sketching something.

However, Chen Yu merely glanced at her and didn’t pay much attention to it.
