Food Intelligence King

Chapter 53 Ms. Lin is homesick
Although the stall business has stopped, the information is still being updated on time.

Half past seven in the morning.

People, cats, living room, Chen Taotao staring blankly, and Ms. Lin, who is used to this.

Chen Zhou began to review the intelligence.

[Food News - Finding the True Flavors of Home (Rare)]: Treating customers with sincerity will earn you sincerity in return, and there's even a small chance of triggering the rare "Finding the True Flavors of Home" information. From the positive reviews of two renovation workers a few days ago, you've learned how to make a traditional Shaanxi delicacy—roujiamo (meat sandwich).

Chen Zhou knew he was destined to be with these two masters.

I saw them buying steamed buns not long after the shop opened. Even now, when I opened my own shop, these two renovation workers were still helping me.

Chen Zhou also has a connection with roujiamo (Chinese hamburger).

He bought his car at a low price from the old lady who sells roujiamo (Chinese hamburger).

Now it serves as a signpost, informing customers that the store is about to open for business.

However, given his aunt's experience, Chen Zhou felt there was no need to rush into expanding product categories.

If you have time, you can make a couple to try first, and then gradually promote it.

After that--

[Diner's Update]: Lin Yifan has been feeling homesick lately.

After a few days of suspension, the diners' behavior returned to its original state.

He gave the information to his wife and daughter.

Chen Zhou remembered the verbal agreement between his family and his mother-in-law.

Every summer vacation, I take Tao Tao back to visit.

Last year, Chen Zhou also went back with her. Ms. Lin's sister and her family of four were also there, and it was very lively with the big and little kids all together.

It's summer vacation time again.

Lin Yifan misses home. The old lady must also miss her youngest daughter and granddaughter.

Chen Zhou has been busy with business lately and almost forgot about this.

It's a shame that Lin Yifan visited Tao Tao's grandparents not long ago.

But Chen Zhou is currently really tied up with other commitments.

He planned to let the mother and daughter go back and check on things first.

However, his wife hadn't mentioned missing home to him at all, so he figured she needed help here while he was planning to open a shop. She kept her feelings to herself again.

But who are you trying to fool, Ms. Lin!
Of course, we haven't finished reviewing the usual three pieces of intelligence yet—

[Market News]: If you apply for a food business license in the next few days, you will encounter the same window staff who previously processed your street vendor registration.

Chen Zhou couldn't help but sigh: Is this also fate?

On second thought, it probably has nothing to do with fate; that person just works there.

He vaguely remembered that the staff member at the window was a young girl, who was being driven crazy by a fellow vendor.

I never expected to run into her while handling some business.

Chen Zhou only remembered the little girl after being alerted by intelligence.

The other person probably won't remember you.

So many people come to do business every day.

There wasn't anything urgent to deal with this time. The main thing was that Chen Zhou needed to handle the paperwork for opening the shop in the short term, and then get the signboard ordered and installed.

However, he can manage on his own.

Chen Zhou first looked at Chen Taotao beside him, gently shook her, and woke her from her daze.

"Tao Tao, do you miss Grandma?"

"Think about it!"

Chen Taotao blurted it out.

The little girl was raised by her maternal grandmother, so of course she would think about that.

“But I don’t quite remember what my grandma looked like.” She said, looking for a photo on Chen Zhou’s phone.

Chen Zhou opened the photo album and handed it to her. He then got up and went to the kitchen.

Ms. Lin was still preparing a healthy, nutritious, but mediocre breakfast when Chen Zhou suddenly appeared behind her, startling her. "Why are you walking so quietly!"

"What are you thinking about? You seem so lost in thought."

Lin Yifan handed Chen Zhou a plate of washed cherry tomatoes, saying, "I wasn't thinking about anything." (You're homesick.)
"Your company also has annual leave, right?"

Ms. Lin nodded. "Why are you suddenly asking this?"

Chen Zhou: "I'll buy you both tickets back to Guanzhong. You can take your daughter to see her grandma."

Ms. Lin avoided eye contact, complaining about how expensive plane tickets were and how unavailable high-speed rail tickets were for the summer. She deliberately avoided mentioning that she missed home.

Chen Zhou could only grab his wife's phone and start checking ticket information.

I booked a train ticket in less than two minutes.

He returned the phone to Ms. Lin and said:

"We'll be leaving Thursday morning by high-speed rail. Children under six will get a second ticket at half price. I'll take you to the station."

Lin Yifan stared blankly at the ticket information in front of her.

The four small characters "directly to Guanzhong" evoked endless longing for her hometown.

Then, she started thinking about how to ask for leave from the company, say hello to Teacher Li from the kindergarten, and bring some gifts back to Guanzhong.

What can be left for Chen Zhou

He just obediently said "Oh".

Even though they've been married for a long time, Chen Zhou found Ms. Lin quite adorable at this moment. Tonight is fine.
Chen Taotao walked over and returned the phone to her father.

Chen Zhou then said to his wife:

"Oh, right, I've almost spent all my money. I paid for the tickets with your phone."

After listening, Lin Yifan pondered for a moment, then pointed towards the bedroom.

"A savings account has expired; take it and use it."

Chen Zhou touched the stubble on his chin. Shouldn't this be a heartwarming moment to enhance the relationship between middle-aged couples?

Why does it feel like the nature of the matter has changed?

Judging from my wife's expression, she should understand my thoughts.

Oh well, there's still a long road ahead.

In the morning, Chen Zhou withdrew the money and went to the decoration company to spend it.

A breakfast shop that focuses on quality doesn't need overly fancy decor. After discussing it yesterday, Chen Zhou chose a simple and elegant design.

The decorator, however, said a few words, saying that the sign design was quite nice.

This inadvertently added to the prestige of employee number one.

Chen Zhou also relayed his original words to his junior sister.

After the signboard was ordered and returned, a text message saying "Business license successfully processed" was sent to Chen Zhou's mobile phone.

The electronic version can be downloaded at any time, but the paper version needs to be picked up on-site.

Chen Zhou ran over and got it again.

At the end of the day, even though I hadn't done much, I still felt a bit anxious.

Around 5 p.m., Ms. Lin picked up her child and took him home.

As soon as she entered the room, she smelled a familiar scent.

It's the kind of dish that's simmered over low heat, allowing the pork fat and spices to fully meld together, resulting in a rich and mellow aroma.

Just by smelling that aroma, you can almost picture the state of that piece of meat right now.

It's definitely not pure lean meat.

Moreover, the fatty parts must be stewed to perfection, reaching a translucent, rich yet not greasy consistency. They melt in your mouth with just a touch.

It probably still has some skin on it, and it's chewy and a bit sticky.

"You stewed meat again? Wait, you made roujiamo (Chinese hamburger)?!"

Ms. Lin walked into the kitchen and smelled the aroma of wheat again.

Chen Zhou pointed to the oven: "A few days ago, two renovation workers taught me some tips for making things at home."

Ms. Lin could tell from the aroma that the roujiamo she made would definitely be good.

She had to admit at this point:
"I'm a little homesick."
