Thanks to Li Zexing's appeal, Shen Lu's meals were sold extremely quickly and cleanly today.
Usually there are some vegetarian dishes left for the staff meals, but today even the vegetable soup was almost plundered, and there were still a large group of uneaten customers waiting to be fed.
"Sorry, all the food has been sold out today. Please don't linger in the store. If you want to eat, come back tomorrow."
It's useless to say it again, no one will listen at all.
Shen Lu simply played it repeatedly on the radio in the store. It took more than an hour to evacuate the crowd staying in the store.
Wang Daguo wiped the sweat from being squeezed out by the crowd: "Is this the appeal of a big star?"
Shen Lu looked at the crowd that was gradually going away, "Yes, this is The appeal of big stars.”
Don’t worry about business these days, these fans will definitely come to check out the same dishes as Dog Man.
Correspondingly, Shen Lu is also worried about productivity issues.
The manpower is still not enough, she still has to recruit a chef who can act alone.
[Ding dong~ Post a task: apply for a new employee. 】
【This is a side task. The host can decide whether to complete it or not. There will be corresponding rewards upon completion. 】
Complete, must be completed!
Shen Lu did what he said and immediately posted a recruitment notice at the door of the store.
Wang Daguo and Cai Su came over curiously.
“Hire a chef?” Cai Su’s sense of crisis suddenly increased. Did Shen Lu dislike her progress too slowly? Why not just find a chef who can get started immediately?
“The number of guests will be increasing. The three of us plus Xiao Mantis can cook a limited number of meals, and I can’t stay in the kitchen all the time. I always have to develop new dishes or run around to supply ingredients. We can be much more relaxed when we have an experienced master in business.”
As veteran employees who have been under his command since the stall was set up, Shen Lu still values Cai Su and Wang Daguo. Regarding the recruitment of new employees, she patiently explained to them.
"So that's it." Wang Daguo has no talent for cooking, and he has no intention of becoming a chef. His idea is very simple, just do what you can.
Cai Su nodded thoughtfully. What Shen Lu said was the truth. The shortage of manpower was a reality, and she could not grow into a chef in a very short period of time.
To take a step back, even if she did it, Shen Lu would still have to find someone to help in the kitchen.
"Brother, Sister Boss Shen, Aunt Cai, why are you standing outside?" The little girl's voice sounded from behind.
Shen Lu and the others turned around and saw that it was sisters Wang Xiaoci and Wang Xiaohui.
Two people were pushing a small cart with some steel plates, copper blocks and other metals piled on it.
Shen Lu's eyes lit up. The Wang family is very capable. What was explained yesterday has already been harvested today.
Cai Su didn't know yet that Shen Lu needed materials to upgrade the kitchen utensils. He pointed at the small cart and asked, "Are you coming to set up a stall? But our place is not as popular in the evening."< br>
Xiaolu Food is only sold at noon. Unless it is not sold out all afternoon, it will be sold again at dinner, but this has not happened yet.
Wang Xiaoci blinked and looked at Shen Lu: "Sister Boss Shen, these...are you not going to accept them?"
"Accept them, accept them, come in first." Shen Lu led He walked into the waiting area and asked the system to see if the materials sent by the Wang family sisters were up to standard.
[After the integrated evaluation, a total of X6 fine steel, X3 copper blocks, and X2 tungsten wire were obtained. There is still a long way to go before the spicy hotpot machine can be upgraded. 】
Shen Lu was dissatisfied: "There is a small pile of these. Is your system's judgment really reasonable?"
[Hosts, please rest assured that our system is absolutely upright and there is no intentional ignorance of the host's materials. . 】
Shen Lu pouted: "Okay."
After accepting the metal materials sent by the Wang sisters, Shen Lu put on a smile and took out 30 star coins, "Hey, here's the money, you guys Collect it, you can continue to send metal materials tomorrow, I will still collect them.”
Don’t think the money is small, among this pile of materials, only tungsten wire is more expensive, but it is not much more expensive. , like steel and copper blocks, 100 star coins can buy a wagon, so they are worthless. Wang Xiaoci did not accept the money, but said cautiously: "Sister Boss Shen, can we have anything else?"
"Hmm? What do you want?"
"Steamed buns!" Wang Xiaoci blurted out, "Can I change it to steamed buns?"
Shen Lu raised his eyebrows and muttered: "Yes, yes, but I didn't make steamed buns today, so I'll have to do it tomorrow."
"Okay!" Wang Xiaoci responded quickly as if she was afraid that Shen Lu would regret it, pulled Wang Xiaohui onto the small cart and drove away happily, "Sister Boss Shen, see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow." Shen Lu said to Big Wang, "This sister of yours is very creative and lively."
Big Wang rubbed his hands, "Xiao Ci needs to be more outgoing."
"Very good."
"Boss, will making steamed buns bother you?" Wang didn't expect that his sister didn't want money, but wanted to exchange steamed buns.
"No trouble." Shen Lu looked at Big Wang's arm emphatically, "Just come here early tomorrow morning."
She was reluctant to let Xiao Mantis knead the dough, but Big Wang can take advantage of it.
It’s no problem if she doesn’t have the talent for cooking. She just needs to teach Big Wang how to knead the dough. If not, Big Wang has a lot of brute strength and can knead the dough well no matter what.
Although Shen Lu promised Wang Xiaoci that he could exchange metal materials for steamed buns, he could only choose to exchange them for steamed buns or star coins.
It is impossible that she will make steamed buns if the other party asks for steamed buns today, and she will make sesame cakes if the other party asks for sesame buns tomorrow.
How about making more steamed buns in one go tomorrow, storing them in the system warehouse, and taking them out when needed.
"Okay, I'll come early tomorrow." Big Wang agreed.
In the blink of an eye, it was time to have dinner. When Shen Lu was preparing food in the afternoon, he cooked a pot of chicken soup. It was still the simplest way, only adding ginger slices and salt.
Add in the rice-stir-fried grandma's vegetable minced meat, steamed eggs and small green vegetables and it's ready to go.
Shen Lu served the food and asked Mr. Wang to deliver it to Granny Jin.
Big Wang didn't dare to delay, so he ran all the way with his lunch box and arrived in front of Grandma Jin's house in less than ten minutes.
"Grandma Jin, I'm Mr. Wang." He knocked on the door and said, "I'm here to bring you dinner."
Two minutes later, Granny Jin opened the door. His face was helpless: "I won't eat it, take it back and tell Shen Lu not to give it away again."
Wang Daguo hung the lunch box on the doorknob, turned around and ran away, "Boss Shen told me, if you If you don’t eat it, throw it away. I don’t dare to take it back because my salary will be deducted.”
Don’t say that Grandma Jin is sick now. Even if she is not sick, she still can’t catch up with Big Wang who is in his prime.
“You!” Granny Jin was stunned, how could anyone forcefully give something away like this.
Throw it away?
Isn’t this a waste of food?
Grandma Jin, who was frugal by nature, could not bear to waste food, so she could only take off the lunch box and bring it into the house.
The lunch box has three layers, a layer of chicken soup, a layer of steamed eggs and green vegetables, and a layer of rice. It is a very standard meal for patients.
"These children are really..." Grandma Jin's eyes were moist, and the corners of her withered lips were raised unconsciously. A series of negative emotions caused by illness quietly disappeared.
She has to get better as soon as possible. She can't let these children continue to worry about her.
I thought I had a headache because I didn’t sleep well last night, but it turned out that the pain was even worse when I woke up after a nap at noon. I took an ibuprofen and it felt better.
