Rebirth 07: Starting with Saving a Bankrupt Restaurant

However, the diners were very tolerant of Zhou Wen's sister.

After all, some of the diners are people who have started families and come to Fujian Province to work. When they see the young Xiao Jie, they will think of their own children.

Zhou Wen knew that Xiao Jie wanted to help as much as possible, but it was indeed a bit of a stretch now.

Lately, Zhou Wen has been picking up and dropping off Xiao Jie.

In the evening, the Maoxuewang (a spicy Sichuan dish) is served in new dishes.

Mao Xue Wang is a dish that local diners in Fujian Province, or even those from Sichuan and Chongqing, have never heard of before.

In addition to taking orders for diners, the Shih sisters also help with product introductions.

"This can be served with white rice; there's no need to order anything else," Shi Ling said.

"Or you could add two pieces of bread inside, that would be a good option too."

Shi Ling offered her suggestion.

"Add some flatbread?" the diner murmured, then looked at his companion across the table and said, "How about two flatbreads?"

"Is this bread refill free?"

Shi Ling shook her head and said, "No, this pancake costs two yuan."

"It actually tastes quite good if you cook it in there."

"Then please add two more flatbreads for us."

Shi Ling nodded, then wrote it down in her notebook.

"If you feel there aren't enough vegetables in the Maoxuewang (a Sichuan dish), you can add more."

"How do you add dishes?" a diner asked curiously.

Shi Ling pointed to the ingredients following the spicy blood curd and said, "Adding meat is six yuan, and adding vegetables is three yuan."

"so."

"No need to add any more dishes, let's just taste it first," the diner said with a smile.

Shi Ling nodded, and after writing it down, she went to the kitchen to announce the dishes.

……

Spicy foods like Mao Xue Wang (a spicy Sichuan dish) and hot and sour noodles are mouthwatering just to look at.

Not to mention the aroma of chili peppers infused with hot oil; diners swallowed hard, but soon their mouths were watering again.

I quickly took a sip of my drink to clear my head.

Then he rubbed his hands together, clearly impatient.

He also used a spoon to scoop up a piece of meat from the side of the pot and put it in a bowl.

As soon as I put it in my mouth, I started rapping, mainly because it was too hot. Then I kept breathing out with my mouth open, trying to lower the temperature of the meat slices.

Finally, I vaguely swallowed the slices of meat, but because it was too hot, I didn't really taste anything.

Seeing this, his companion chuckled and said, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Then I picked up a piece of duck blood. Because the duck blood was very tender, it almost split in two with a gentle pinch.

Seeing this, they switched to using a soup spoon to scoop it up.

This duck blood is completely different from any duck blood I've ever eaten before.

The duck blood in Maoxuewang is smooth and tender, with a slight elasticity, and it has completely absorbed the spicy red oil of Maoxuewang.

The duck blood you get outside is softer and looser in texture, and the color is nowhere near as good.

"I never knew duck blood could be cooked so deliciously!" a diner exclaimed.

"I already told you, you've never heard of any of the dishes at Zhouji Restaurant before, the taste is truly unbeatable."

"It would be your loss if you didn't come to Zhou's Restaurant for a meal."

……

Mao Xue Wang (a spicy Sichuan dish) can be considered another representative dish of Zhouji Restaurant.

This has once again caused quite a stir.

The first dish that stood out was sliced ​​beef and tripe in chili sauce, and the second dish was crayfish, which was incredibly popular and needs no further explanation.

The third dish is this spicy blood curd.

Originally, since the summer vacation was over, the number of customers at the restaurant had decreased somewhat.

However, with the introduction of this spicy blood curd dish, the restaurant's customer traffic in recent days has been approaching the peak season traffic during the summer vacation.

Fortunately, there wasn't a shortage of space, otherwise it would have been impossible to solve.

These past few days have been exhausting for Zhou Wen and everyone at the restaurant.

……

Before we knew it, it was the 10th, payday.

As for the salary, there is no change; it remains the same as last month's salary, since the workload in August is roughly the same as in July.

As for Xiao Jie, Zhou Wen gave her three hundred first.

A large part of the reason is because she is my younger sister, so it is only right that I take care of her more.

However, Zhou Wen was also curious about where Xiao Jie would spend the three hundred yuan.

So I asked about it.

"I need to send some money back home first, and then I also need to give my aunt some money."

Zhou Wen nodded.

"And in the end? How much money did you have left?"

"It should be around fifty."

Fifty? Zhou Wen was momentarily speechless. He was leaving himself fifty, but he didn't know if the girl could live on it.

"Can someone live comfortably at fifty?"

"Yes, brother." Xiao Jie nodded and answered Zhou Wen's question seriously.

Xiao Jie said somewhat embarrassedly, "After all, restaurants also offer meals included."

Zhou Wen was momentarily speechless: "So how did you allocate your earnings when you were making 700 a month?"

"I'll give five hundred to my family, one hundred to myself, and save the remaining one hundred," Xiao Jie said truthfully.

Zhou Wen wondered if 100 yuan was enough for a month's food expenses.

What puzzled Zhou Wen was that there was practically no need to spend money in the countryside, so why give his family so much money?

"I also have a younger brother at home."

"Tuition fees, and other necessities like food and clothing."

Upon hearing Xiao Jie's words, Zhou Wen instantly understood.

At this time, there are still some places where people prefer sons to daughters, but this situation is particularly serious in Fujian Province.

If Zhou Wen weren't a boy, the two elders would probably have chosen to have another child.

Xiao Jie then added, "Brother, I've been there with you before."

Xiao Jie was referring to a previous visit to Zhou Wen's house.

However, Zhou Wen really didn't have any recollection of it.

In the end, Zhou Wen simply said, "We don't actually need that much money to buy for the family; let's save some for ourselves."

Xiao Jie nodded in agreement with what the man said, just like Shi Ying. She didn't refute him, but whether she listened or not was another matter entirely.

"Okay, brother."

Actually, I had worked in a factory for more than a month before, and I had some savings.

Zhou Wen received a phone call from his own mother as soon as he got home that evening.

There were two main reasons for this call. The first was about Zhou Wen's love life.

Zhou Wen could only smile helplessly at this. Ever since he went back home last time, his relatives had been talking about this matter, after all, Zhou Wen was indeed not young anymore.

The second thing was about Xiao Jie. This was the real reason Zhang Mo called; the first thing was just incidental.

When Zhou Wen heard the second thing, he also frowned slightly.
