Chapter 36 Xu Hongdou cooks

 "Come! Let me introduce you to everyone. This is Manager Xu Hongdou and Xu who will be in charge of managing the coffee shop." Xie Xiaochun introduced to the two aunties in the coffee shop.

"Hello, Manager Xu."

"Hello, Manager Xu." The two aunties also knew that the owner of this coffee shop was no longer Xie Zhiyao, but an outsider named Lin Ze.

Outsiders will not tolerate you. If you really can't do well, they may fire you.

It is not easy for them to find such a job in the village at their age.

"Hello, aunties." Xu Hongdou smiled lightly at the two aunties, then took out a copy of the store's rules and regulations she made and handed them to them, "This is a specific rule I made.

As for the rules and regulations, the two aunties can just follow them."

Xu Hongdou looked at the embarrassment on the faces of the two aunts, pulled the two aunts to sit down in their seats and said: "I know that the two aunts may not understand for a while, I will give you two full days.

Aunt explained."

"Nana, you don’t need me to explain, right?"

Nana held the paper and nodded: "Don't worry! Sister Hongdou."

Xie Xiaochun was a little worried that Xu Hongdou would not be able to communicate with the two aunts in a friendly manner, so he sat down next to Xu Hongdou.

"Actually, the most important thing to the two aunties is the problem of arriving late and leaving early every day."

"For this reason, we have specially set up a perfect attendance award. If the two aunties can insist on perfect attendance, they can get an extra 200 yuan every month."

"Two hundred more?" When they heard that they could get two hundred more in addition to their salary, the two aunties' eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yes!"

"But..." one of the aunts said hesitantly: "But if it's windy or rainy, we have to go back to collect clothes and rice..."

"The two aunties don't need to worry. Each of them can take four days off per month, so the two aunties can take turns taking leave."

"This is good! This is good!"

"And this." Xu Hongdou took out another form and placed it on the table, "This is all the places in the store that need to be cleaned."

Xu Hongdou was worried that the two aunties wouldn't understand, so she specially drew the specific places.

"Don't the two aunts always forget the places they want to clean? With this tool, after the aunts finish cleaning a place, they will put a check mark under the corresponding place."

"In this way, there will no longer be situations where some places are not cleaned or a place is cleaned twice."

"Yeah."

……

"Sister Hongdou is back?" Damai asked as Xu Hongdou came in.

"Hmm." Xu Hongdou showed Damai the dishes in her hand, "I'll be down for dinner later."

Damai looked at Xu Hongdou with some admiration. She also knew that Xu Hongdou was now managing the cafe. For her ultimate social fear, this fact was really embarrassing!

"Sister Hongdou, do you want to cook by yourself?" Xu Hongdou has never cooked since she came to Youfeng Xiaoyuan, so Damai is still quite curious about this scene.

"Yeah." Xu Hongdou put the purchased ingredients in the sink, "I always said I wanted to treat Lin Ze to a meal, but I never had time."

"Let me help you." Damai followed Xu Hongdou to wash vegetables, "Brother Lin Ze, are you easy to talk to?"

"He's pretty easy to talk to." Xu Hongdou recalled, "I've known him for so long and I've never seen him angry before."

"What?" Xu Hongdou looked at Damai and asked, "You want to see him if you have something to do?"

Damai nodded sheepishly and said: "Well... the writing of novels has not been going very well recently, so I wanted to ask her opinion."

"Don't worry." Xu Hongdou smiled and comforted: "I will help you tell him when the time comes."

"Well..." Damai smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Sister Hongdou."

"Can I help you?" Lin Ze walked into the yard and saw this scene and asked, leaning against the door frame.

Xu Hongdou was not polite to Lin Ze, and directly threw a bag of shrimps to Lin Ze, "Help me pick out the shrimp threads."

"Okay!" Lin Ze took a basin from the cabinet, sat on the door frame with the bag of shrimps, and started picking shrimp threads.

When Nana came back, she saw this scene and wondered: "Are there no chairs? Why are you sitting on the door frame?"

Lin Ze held a toothpick in one hand and a shrimp in the other and looked up and replied: "There is a chair, but I haven't sat on the door frame like this for a long time. I miss it a bit."

"That's right." When Nana heard Lin Ze say this, she seemed to recall the days when she and her mother were sitting on the doorframe together as a child.

"Is there anything else we can do while sitting on the doorframe?" Nana asked, leaning next to Xu Hongdou.

Xu Hongdou gave her a helpless look, handed the potatoes to her and said, "Here! Go and peel these potatoes."

"Okay!" Nana happily took the potatoes and sat next to Lin Ze.

Damai glanced at Nana with some envy and continued to wash the dishes in his hands.

Xu Hongdou, who noticed this scene, hit Damai's arm with her elbow, "Let's talk about it after dinner."

"Yeah." Damai responded softly.

Nana asked Lin Ze while peeling potatoes: "I heard that you want to build a resort here?"

"It's not a resort, right?" Lin Ze thought for a moment and said, "It should be considered a theme park. Have you seen Ghost Blowing Lantern?"

"Watched its TV series."

"Ah..." Nana suddenly realized: "Do you want to build the Yunnan Worm Valley inside?"

"It's mainly that, but there are also various other elements. I hope it can be made into a haunted house or secret room adventure type."

"That's it..." Nana replied thoughtfully.

……

"The face may not look good." Xu Hongdou brought the last tomato and egg dish to the table and sat down and said, "But the taste should be pretty good."

Boiled prawns, shredded potatoes in vinegar (strips), braised pork, egg fried rice, tomatoes and eggs.

Just like what Xu Hongdou said, although the knife skills and color of the dishes don't look very good, the taste is surprisingly good.

What makes Da Mai weird is that Xu Hongdou’s vinegar-stuffed potato shreds also contain soy sauce, which seems a bit not refreshing enough.

After dinner, everyone sat on the stone benches in the yard, drinking tea and chatting, which looked particularly comfortable under the early autumn breeze.

Xu Hongdou patted Lin Ze's arm gently and waved to him to put his ear closer, "Da Mai has something to ask you."

Lin Ze glanced at the barley someone was there, nodded to Xu Hongdou and said, "Then I'll go there."

Following Damai to the kitchen table and sitting down, Damai asked shyly: "I heard Sister Hongdou said that you are also an online writer?"

"Yes!" Lin Ze nodded and smiled: "I liked reading novels when I was in junior high school. I was so fascinated by them that I didn't even want to go to school."

"I remember the first time I stayed up all night just to read a novel. I guess what I was reading at that time was The Legend of Mortals Cultivation to Immortality, right?"
