Chapter 226 (2/2)

“Humm. Salary will be settled once per week. Every week, you can get 1300 RMB and can split it with your partner.” Yuan Zhou nodded and stated the payment of the salary.

“Thanks, boss. I will definitely get that person. Don’t worry. Shall I bring that person here tonight?” Shen Min was so happy that she almost bowed to Yuan Zhou. She appeared to be deeply moved by this kind boss.

“No need. You bring him here at 7:30 tomorrow morning.” Yuan Zhou made an early appointment.

“Ok. Don’t worry, boss. I promise to bring someone here tomorrow.” Shen Min clasped the hands together and guaranteed.

“Humm, it’s done.” Yuan Zhou indicated that he had finished and she could leave now.

“Goodbye, boss. Thank you.” Shen Min shrewdly reacted and said goodbye to him right away.

“Bye.” Yuan Zhou nodded the head.

Shen Min walked out the restaurant steadily and only got excited after some distance. She leaped and muttered to herself, “That’s great. I finally found a satisfactory job.”

Having settled the recruitment issue, Yuan Zhou walked out and tore the recruitment notice down from the door.

He carefully folded the notice in case he would use it again in future.

He raised the head and looked at the time, “There are still one and half hours left. It’s supposed to be sufficient.” After a nod, Yuan Zhou turned around and pulled down the door with a sound of “Hua La”.

Then, he sighed with emotion, “It’s finally quiet now.”

Now that he had time, he could settle down to study making the Colored Small Pastry carefully.

The most urgent matter was naturally the selection of the ingredients while the most important one was certainly the selection of the glutinous rice, which happened to be a breed that wasn’t lacked in China.

Yuan Zhou searched around in the kitchen and as expected saw the fairly conspicuous words of Glutinous Rice written beside the cabinet of rice.

“Does the glutinous rice have any advantages?” Yuan Zhou asked curiously.

After all, the glutinous rice must be the best to make the most qualified pastry, as was introduced in the recipe.

The system displayed, “The area where it is produced is to the south of the central part of China and the north of Dongting Lake. It’s surrounded on three sides, the east, west and north, by mountains. In the central part of this place is the Jianghan Plain that’s regarded as the “land of fish and rice”, where the Changjiang River and its largest tributary, Hangjiang River lies. The rivers have moistened the land of the ancient ‘Chu Kindom’ and the abundant water brings about a great number of water networks and numerous lakes. The hilly area in the northeast of Hubei Province is dominated by low hills, where the hypsographic feature is mild and the cleuch between hills spacious. The soil is quite thick and is suitable for the development of agriculture and forestry…..”

“Wait. What I need to know is the glutinous rice, not the introduction of the geographic surroundings.” Yuan Zhou supported his forehead helplessly. Why did the agreed acting cool become the popularization of theories on geography? It was simply a torture for Yuan Zhou who could only get a score of 40 on the subject of geography. The system introduced the place in such details as if Yuan Zhou were able to find the place.

The system displayed, “I’m telling the host the geographic surroundings required to plant the glutinous rice.”

Not knowing why, Yuan Zhou felt his usual solemnity from the words displayed by the system.

“Alright. I have known the geographic surroundings quite well. You can talk about the glutinous rice now.” Yuan Zhou pinched the translucent glutinous rice, of which the luster was like the jade.

The system displayed, “According to the circumstances, this place has an excellent geographic surroundings and is most suitable for planting the glutinous rice. The system has selected the ancient breed that is highly edible and the official value as written in the ancient materia medica. The yield is low while the quality is very high. The glutinous rice is suitable for most people to eat.”

“Alright, I’m fully convinced of that.” Yuan Zhou was forced to read a lot of introductions to geography, hence was lost in a daze. Only after pulling himself together did he begin preparing to process the glutinous rice.

As the glutinous rice had all been screened by the system, Yuan Zhou only took out a bamboo basket and made a secondary screening. Then he started to make the preliminary glutinous rice flour.

Yuan Zhou rolled the stone mill patiently with a uniform velocity in order to grind the uniform flour, making the stone mill emit a sound of “Zhiya, Zhiya”.

A foodie without patience was not a good big eater.
