Chapter 8 Restaurant Open to the Public

It was rare to have such a leisurely time. After breakfast, Chen Lan and Chen Momo, mother and daughter, did not plan to leave directly, but continued to stay in the hotel to rest.

They had lived too hard and difficult in the last three years in the end of the world. It was rare that they found a safe place to rest now. They did not leave so easily.

Moreover, Chen Lan looked at her daughter, who was already five years old and should learn to read and recognize words. Before, there was no opportunity. They had spent a lot of energy every day just to survive. Where could they have so much time to read and recognize words?

Now I can take this opportunity to give my daughter a lesson. Even if I don’t let her learn any advanced knowledge, I have to let her recognize words so that she will not become illiterate.

There is a bookcase in the room upstairs. The bookcase is filled with various books. Although the quantity is not large, it is still enough for a five-year-old child to be enlightened. After Chen Lan and her daughter had enough, they returned to the room to teach her to recognize words.

At more than seven o'clock in the morning, Chen Wenjiu finally got up.

After getting up, Chen Wenjiu went downstairs to find something to eat. It was really good to have a chef. She didn't need to get up and make breakfast by herself.

"He Zui, good morning." Chen Wenjiu came to the restaurant and greeted He Zui naturally.

"Morning." He Zui nodded and replied, "Today we have casserole porridge, pickled cabbage, and pickled radish. Do you want to eat? Or do you want to eat noodle soup or sour noodles?"

Noodle soup is the local name for soup rice noodles. Basically, noodle soup restaurants here cook a pot of meat soup or bone soup, and add some small pieces of meat, small shredded meat, lettuce or other vegetables to cook noodle soup.

Chen Wenjiu still likes noodle soup very much, but she had eaten noodle soup in a noodle soup restaurant before. The noodle soup was not delicious. The soup either did not filter out the bone residue, or the meat was not lean pork but pork liver, lungs, and intestines.

It's not that pig offal is bad, but there is not much meat in the noodle soup, and the amount of meat in that restaurant is not much, and the cooking method may not be so good, so it doesn't taste as good as lean pork.

Sour rice noodles are a kind of rice noodles that are popular in Dongling County. The noodles are probably mixed noodles, and the noodles are very thin. They taste a little sour, very appetizing and delicious.

He Zui has basically figured out some of the eating habits here in the hotel for a few days. Chen Wenjiu also gave him a mobile phone. If he wants to know any recipes, he only needs to check it online, so He Zui can make rice noodle soup and sour rice noodles.

"Do we have rice noodles here now? Sour rice noodles too?" Chen Wenjiu was very surprised. Sour rice noodles and rice noodles are a bit troublesome to make. At least the villagers rarely make them themselves. Basically, they go to the vegetable market to buy others' ready-made rice noodles.

"Forget it, I'd better eat some porridge. I always feel hungry when I eat rice noodles in the morning." Chen Wenjiu muttered.

She really likes to eat porridge or porridge in the morning. Eating noodles or steamed buns always feels like not having breakfast.

"Okay." He Zui didn't say much, and brought out a small casserole for her, and prepared a small dish of fried pickled cabbage and pickled radish for her, and asked Yuan Yiyuan to send it to the table next to her.

"You didn't prepare a lot of porridge today?" Chen Wenjiu asked.

"There are only two guests in the store, so of course we won't prepare a lot of food." He Zui said, he wouldn't prepare a lot of food, which would lead to waste if there were no guests to eat.

Chen Wenjiu nodded and said, "In fact, our hotel restaurant can also be open to the villagers. Some people in the village don't like to get up early in the morning to cook, so they should buy some noodle soup or steamed buns, steamed bread and fried dough sticks to go home and eat."

"He Zui, what do you think about our hotel restaurant preparing more food in the future and opening it to the villagers?" Chen Wenjiu said to He Zui while stirring the porridge in the casserole.

He Zui, who was wiping his hands, stopped and looked at her. Seeing that she really thought this was a good idea, he smiled and said, "Are you really going to do this?"

He didn't have any objections. Even if all the villagers came to the restaurant to buy breakfast or eat three meals a day here, his workload was heavy but he could handle it.

But, was she really willing to do this?

He knew that the hotel was not an ordinary hotel. Just like the origins of the two guests in the store were not easy to explain, wasn't Chen Wenjiu afraid that other guests would find something wrong with the mysterious guests?

Chen Wenjiu nodded and said, "I think it's good. Why not make money if you can?"

Her savings were almost all spent. She had borrowed a lot of money from her rich and beautiful classmate before. Now she just wanted to make money and see if she could make more money to pay back her borrowed debts and unlock other facilities in the hotel as soon as possible.

"Just make your decision. I have no objection." He Zui said.

He really had no objection. Anyway, his job was just to cook in the restaurant. Everything else was Chen Wenjiu's business. He just needed to do his job well.

The restaurant didn't need him, the chef, to worry about entertaining guests or cleaning. He didn't need to worry about whether there were guests or not. What could He Zui have any objection to?

As a chef, he certainly hoped that more diners would eat the food he made. Seeing the happy and satisfied expressions on the faces of diners when they ate the food he made, he actually felt very accomplished.

"In that case, I'll tell my brother and the others." Chen Wenjiu took out his mobile phone and told others in the "Happy Family" group.

Chen Wenjiu and his family of four have a small group, but they also have a large family group with their uncles, uncles, and other relatives. Of course, this group called "Happy Big Family" is basically composed of relatives with good relationships, and those relatives who are not so close are in another large family group.

[Your sister: Our hotel restaurant will be open to the public, and guests who are not staying in the hotel can also come to the restaurant to eat. Are you interested? ]

[Your sister: The food in our restaurant is very good, and the food made by Chef He is very delicious. ]

[It's Jialing, not Jialing: x-on:You sister, sister, is your restaurant really open to the public? ]

[Your sister: x-on:It's Jialing, not Jialing, yes sister, our restaurant will be open to the public. ]

[Your sister: After all, there are not many guests staying in the hotel, and we have to think of other ways to make money. ]

[Your sister: Chef He’s cooking is so good, and I’ve ordered a lot of ingredients from him, so why not open a restaurant? It can also make money, right? ]

[It’s Jialing, not Jialing: Very good! ]

[It’s Jialing, not Jialing: I was too lazy to cook at noon, so I went to your restaurant to eat. x-on:Your sister]

[Jiayang: If the restaurant is open, is it now? Is there any breakfast? ]

[Xianshu Rongguang: Brat, is my cooking not delicious? x-on:Jiayang]

[Jiayang: x-on:Xianshu Rongguang’s mother, you have to admit that He Zui’s cooking is better than yours. ]

Deng Shurong and Chen Jiayang quarreled in the group, and Chen Wenjiu was very happy to see it. Then she switched groups and told everyone in the village group that her hotel restaurant was open to the public, hoping that everyone would support it.

There are a lot of messages in the group. Some people who are close to Chen Wenjiu and her uncle's family know that He Zui has been living in Uncle Chen's house for a while, and they also know that He Zui's cooking skills are very good.

These days, other people in Uncle Chen's family go out every day to brag about He Zui's cooking skills, saying that although he rarely cooks these days, every time he cooks, it is very delicious. They envy the guests who will stay in the hotel in the future.

Now that the restaurant is open to the public, these guests who do not live in the hotel can also go and taste the food made by Chef He.
