Chapter 223: Jinling Grass and Translucent Beef Slices

“You don’t need to come this afternoon. Just bring your parents to come for dinner,” while cleaning the kitchen, Yuan Zhou said casually.

“Gee? But you will be too busy to care about the customers and business.” Mu Xiaoyun asked curiously with her big eyes widely open.

“No problem. Go back now. It’s very late.” With a frown, Yuan Zhou directly tried to drive her away.

“Ok. Please pay me 50 RMB only today, boss. You can’t give me more than that.” Mu Xiaoyun thought for a while and said affirmatively.

“I’ve promised you 100 RMB per day.” Yuan Zhou had always been firm in his opinions.

“Last time you said that you needed to pay me the full salary of 100 RMB because you had your own business and affected me working normally. But this time, it’s me who has my own business and need to rest. So you should pay me the salary for half a day only.” Said Mu Xiaoyun earnestly.

Looking carefully at the serious look on Mu Xiaoyun’s face, Yuan Zhou realized he had truly said that and hence had to agree.

“Ok. Here you are.” Yuan Zhou thought for a while and realized it was indeed so. Then he took out a green note of 50 RMB and handed it to Mu Xiaoyun.

“Thank you, boss. I’m leaving now and will come back tonight.” Mu Xiaoyun received the money readily and then ran out of the restaurant happily.

“Humm.” Yuan Zhou nodded the head. However, Mu Xiaoyun didn’t actually hear him this time before she ran away happily.

However, Yuan Zhou cared little about that. He just continued to clear the slightly messy kitchen.

“I feel it looks better to be tidy and neat.” After saying that, Yuan Zhou continued to clear it again.

As for what he was tidying up, it was quite obvious. At present, he had at least dozens of knives in different sizes and many spoons with different sizes and shapes. Yuan Zhou was just hanging all of them well, making sure they did not slightly sway.

When he finished, all the blades, knife edges and knife handles were all aligned in a horizontal straight line. The spoons were also placed in the same way.

So are the bowls and plates. When Yuan Zhou placed them into the dishwasher, the bowls and plates were placed neatly without any sticking out, even if the dishwasher didn’t require that.

“This damn obsessive-compulsive disorder.” After he finished placing all the dinnerware, Yuan Zhou found his god-damn obsessive-compulsive disorder got more severe and was beyond cure. For example, when he saw someone’s shoestring untied in the street, he even wanted to go to tie it for them.

Fortunately, he didn’t, otherwise, he would surely be taken for as an idiot. For him, however, an untied shoestring was likely to cause insecurities in the kitchen.

Yuan Zhou took a look at his shoestring subconsciously, but he had no time to care about that. Xiaoyun was going to leave and a new shop assistant was still nowhere to find.

“Dong Dong Dong”, he went upstairs and searched for the recruitment notice used last time.

“This notice is really not bad since Xiaoyun is fairly earnest and dutiful.” Having the dutiful and reliable girl Mu Xiaoyun as the role model, Yuan Zhou was rather confident with the contents of the recruitment notice.

Therefore, Yuan Zhou didn’t modify any words at the part of recruitment requirements but just replaced the time requirement below with “Permanent Assistant Required Only”. After that, he pasted it onto the door.

Yuan Zhou sat down on his seat and just waited there delightedly for people to come for an interview. The sketchy contents of the notice nevertheless stopped most of the job-seekers from going into the restaurant for an interview.

…..

For the whole afternoon, no one came to apply for the position. In order not to affect his business, Yuan Zhou took off the recruitment notice from the door at 4:30 p.m. following the established practice and prepared to do business.

At that time, Mu Xiaoyun and Mu Xiaojie arrived at the entrance of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant together.

“Boss, here we are.” Xiaoyun greeted Yuan Zhou with a smile.

Nevertheless, Mu Xiaojie was actually a little embarrassed. He said with shyness, “Good afternoon, boss.”

“Humm. Come in and have a seat.” Yuan Zhou nodded the head. On his solemn face, there wasn’t any expression.

“Let me wait. You go inside to rest.” Mu Xiaojie said with the demeanor of a gentleman.

“No, you go to rest, brother. I wait here for mom.” In front of Mu Xiaojie, Xiaoyun became a capricious little girl again.
