Chapter 1959: Arrived early

Translator: 549690339 

Very soon, Yuan Zhou informed su Ruoyan and Mao Ye in the form of text messages that they would come back to work after the National Day holiday.

Su Ruoyan did not have any problems at all and obediently agreed. She wished the boss a Happy New Year.

However, there was a small problem with Mao Ye.

[Xiao Mao, I was originally scheduled to start work on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, but I have something to do now and need to be delayed for two days. I’ll come back to work on the eleventh day.] Yuan Zhou explained the cause and effect with just a short sentence.

[Boss, Happy New Year. I’m back and I plan to start working tomorrow. Don’t worry, I’ll just rest as usual.] Mao Ye’s reply was also very straightforward.

They had agreed to go to work on the ninth day of the new year, but the little girl had told him that she was back on the night of the sixth day. Other people thought that the holiday was not enough, but she had come early.

[Didn’t you go to work on the ninth day of the new year? why are you back so early? have you settled the matters at home?] Yuan Zhou asked carefully.

[Thank you for your concern, boss. It has already been settled. I’m already embarrassed to take leave before the new year, so I will definitely come back to work early.]

It was only after Mao Ye went back that he found out that Yuan Zhou had already paid her last month’s salary before the new year. He didn’t deduct her salary just because she took leave. Instead, he paid her in full. She must have hoped to come back earlier to make up for it.

In addition, she had contacted mu Xiaoyun earlier and found that her boss would open the restaurant from the first day of the Lunar New Year. She had to cook and deal with the customers at the same time. Therefore, she decided to come earlier, even during the day. She had to do more work so as to be worthy of the salary given by Yuan Zhou.

“Alright, then take care of yourself. If you have anything to say, just tell me.”

[Okay, boss. See you tomorrow.]

Yuan Zhou thought that Mao Ye was planning to come to the pub tomorrow. In this way, he could buy an early flight ticket and leave on the night of the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. He was quite assured to leave the pub to Mao Ye.

The earlier he bought the ticket, the earlier he would arrive in Jiangdu and he could see Yin ya. When Yuan Zhou thought of meeting his future mother-in-law, he felt a little nervous.

Although it was during the Chinese New Year, it was rare to see the sun in the morning in Chengdu. It was always gray. When Yuan Zhou got up and jogged every morning, it was still dark outside.

For Yuan Zhou who had sharp five senses, he could still see it. Besides, he had grown up in this area and was very familiar with every brick and tile.

The instant noodle restaurant was going to open for business today, which meant that there would be 100 servings of breakfast.

After running back to the second floor, he washed up and went back to the shop. He opened a door and planned to eat noodles across the street.

The sign of the noodles to be used had already been placed out, and the dense fog was scattered in the somewhat white morning light, giving people the feeling of clouds and mist.

“Give me a bowl of instant noodles.” Yuan Zhou shouted as soon as he entered the restaurant.

“You’re here. It’s boss Yuan. You’re really punctual. I knew you were coming, but the noodles have already been put into the pot and will be ready soon. ” The boss said in a very friendly manner.

Not long after, a bowl of noodles was placed in front of Yuan Zhou. A fried egg was added to the bowl. The egg that was fried until both sides were golden lay quietly on the snow-white noodles. Together with the green vegetable leaves and the dark sauce, it looked very appetizing. The boss’s noodle cooking skills were quite good.

“There’s so much to eat today?” Yuan Zhou looked at the noodles and said.

“Boss Yuan, didn’t you give me a good idea yesterday? I still need to help out. It must be very troublesome. I’ll order noodles today. It’s my treat. Boss Yuan, you don’t need to be polite with me.” The boss of the noodle shop said.

“Okay, thank you, boss.” Thinking that it was considered as returning the favor, Yuan Zhou didn’t stand on ceremony.

“Shua, shua,” Yuan Zhou picked up the chopsticks and started to eat the noodles.

The time for Yuan Zhou to eat the noodles was basically fixed. Usually, it would take about 8 minutes from the time the cooked Wheaten food was served to the time when they finished eating.

But today, the boss had made preparations in advance, and he was three minutes faster than usual.

After Yuan Zhou finished his meal, the boss of the noodle restaurant went out to clear the table and then asked,””Boss Yuan, I’ve been thinking about the matter of that app. What if someone takes advantage of it? It’s just that some businesses put the money into their own pockets when no one is using it. ”

“I’m not speculating with the worst idea. It’s just that there are good and bad people, and there are also people who like to take advantage of others.” The boss of the noodle shop said,”it’s not a waste if the instant noodles are eaten by others. But if it goes directly into someone else’s pocket, it’s just like how boss Yuan writes a bowl of instant noodles almost every day. It’s also a waste of his painstaking efforts.”

Xiong nengxiong had also thought of that. Yuan Zhou explained,””This spare noodles has a reporting function. If you are reported, you will be blacklisted by the chef’s Association.”

“Indeed, there are many people who take advantage of others, and there are also many people who take risks for money. But the money for a few bowls of instant noodles is not enough to make people take risks.”

“And being blacklisted by the chef’s Association is still a very serious matter.”

As the director of the chef’s Association, it was quite easy for Yuan Zhou to do this. The key was that it was a matter of positive energy.

“Oh, oh, oh. I’m relieved now.” The owner of the noodle shop heaved a sigh of relief. He didn’t want the kind-hearted people to eat his noodles one by one and not be able to go where they should go.

“Boss Yuan is really awesome. He has considered all aspects of the matter.” The boss of the noodle shop praised.

“The professional I consulted is amazing. Not only that, but the price difference that the reserved noodles might cause was also taken into consideration.” Yuan Zhou said.

While they were talking, two more customers came to the noodle restaurant and Yuan Zhou left. He went back to the restaurant and took a short rest before starting to make breakfast.

Yuan Zhou felt that the noodles today were very delicious. For breakfast, he prepared the noodles with soybean paste. After kneading the noodles, he left them there and woke up. Then, Yuan Zhou started to make the soybean paste.

Zhajiangmian originally originated from Yanjing, but it was really popular in Lu province, so it was attributed to Lu cuisine.

There was also zhajiangmian in Sichuan cuisine, but it was a little different from the zhajiangmian in Lu cuisine.

The noodles with soybean paste prepared by Yuan Zhou was an authentic Shandong cuisine. He took out some fresh pork and other ingredients and cut them into small cubes, planning to make soybean paste later.

Moreover, the yellow sauce that Yuan Zhou intended to use to stir-fry the soybean paste was the one he dried last year. It was the first time he used it.

“Si la”

After the oil in the pot emitted smoke, Yuan Zhou first poured the diced meat, green beans, soybeans, shiitakes and other unripe diced meat into the pot and stir-fried them for a few times. Then, he poured the late-ripened diced meat into the pot and finally put in the yellow sauce and stir-fried it for a while to make the deep-fried sauce.

The deep-fried sauce made by Yuan Zhou was different from the usual deep-fried sauce made with some diced pork, scallions, ginger, and garlic. Of course, it was also different from the vegetarian sauce such as the three delicacies sauce or the deep-fried egg sauce. A lot of vegetables and diced pork were stir-fried together in the deep-fried sauce, making it taste richer.

After making the sauce, Yuan Zhou found that the noodles were almost fully awake. Then, he directly picked them up and started to knead the ramen. He divided them into small portions and placed them on the chopping board. After the customers came in later, he could put them into the pot one by one.

The amount of each serving was about 250g, which was basically the normal amount required by a person in the morning. Yuan Zhou estimated that there was no problem with it, but the actual amount was not a problem. The biggest problem was that it was made by Yuan Zhou.

After everything was prepared, Yuan Zhou walked out of the kitchen and intended to open the door to let the customers in.

“Good Morning, boss. Happy New Year!” Before he reached the door, he saw a small head peeking in. It was Mao Ye.

Why is Mao Ye here so early in the morning?
