It's none of my business. I'm just a lunch box seller.

[The department that originally captured you and brought you to the competitive world. ]

"Fuck! I have to thank them very much."

[Anyway, you should check it out. They said he is a national second-level chef with a certificate! ]

At this time, Boss Cheng's WeChat finally rang. He took out his Nubia Z50 Ultra with no hollowing out and a true full screen, took a look, and told Coder Di that the person who had been captured must have arrived.

"But if the captured person's craftsmanship is not good enough, can I return the goods?"

【…】

Fan Debiao saw the boss, looking up to see him, after all, the boss was 22 centimeters taller than him. Fan Debiao, who once called himself "the most ruthless man in Liaobei", also realized that he had really met a ruthless person after seeing the boss's big body.

At this time, Fan De Biao, who had traveled from midwinter to early summer, finally got rid of the coldness in his body and began to feel warm. Boss Cheng could see it, and he didn't intend to hide anything from Fan De Biao. He asked him directly: "When you came here, it was just winter!"

Fan Debiao was stunned for a moment, then realized that the other party might know that he was resurrected from the dead, so he answered cheerfully: "Oh, yes, yes! When I committed suicide, it was just during the Chinese New Year."

"Then take off your coat quickly. It's already 28 or 29 degrees outside and you're still wearing so many clothes. Don't let yourself get overheated again after just surviving."

"Hey, okay, boss."

Boss Cheng pointed to the second floor, and Fan Debiao decisively went upstairs and took off his coat, sweater, woolen trousers, autumn clothes, and autumn pants. Then he put on his outer trousers over his shorts, leaving only a cross-bar vest on his upper body. And after going downstairs, he went straight into the kitchen.

"Boss, what dish would you like to try?"

"The old three!"

"Okay, okay!"

Fan Debiao picked up the kitchen knife, weighed it a few times, then turned on the stove and cut the green peppers and dried tofu while boiling water.

Not long after, Fan Debiao came to Boss Cheng and Denisa with two plates of dried tofu with hot peppers. He made two plates because one had meat and the other had no meat. Old chefs knew that a dish of dried tofu with hot peppers had different styles in different parts of Northeast China, not only with or without alkali, but also with or without meat.

However, Fan Debiao is a firm "alkaline school" Northeastern chef, so he only distinguishes between the method of adding meat and the method of not adding meat. After trying his two dishes, Boss Cheng praised his cooking skills.

For the second dish, Fan Debiao was going to make sweet and sour pork, but Boss Cheng told him to skip it and make sweet potato with candied shreds. Fan Debiao thought the boss didn't trust him at first, but Boss Cheng told him that because the sweet and sour pork in the store needs to be made in three flavors, sweet and sour, ketchup, and lime juice, people will eat it no matter how good or bad it is.

The candied sweet potato shows a chef's control over the heat. However, Fan Debiao, who has been a chef for many years, certainly would not be stumped by a simple sugar-making process. Boss Cheng did pull out more than a meter of fine sugar threads from Fan Debiao's candied sweet potato. The caramel flavor on the outer shell of the sweet potato was rich, and Denisa even felt that eating this dish was more enjoyable than eating candied haws.

As for the third course...

Boss Cheng let Fan De Biao play freely. Fan De Biao left out various ingredients and only used pork belly, cabbage and tofu to make a big bowl of cabbage and tofu soup for Boss Cheng and Denise.

But the moment Boss Cheng and Denise put the spoon full of soup and tofu into their mouths, they tasted the mixed feelings of a middle-aged man's half-life from this simple bowl of cabbage stewed with tofu!

The soup is good, but what is even better is the story in the soup, and the failure and bitterness of a middle-aged man's first half of life that can be tasted through this bowl of soup.

"I taste the taste of regret in your soup." Boss Cheng put down the soup spoon and asked Fan Debiao, "Are you regretting committing suicide?"

Fan Debiao smiled and shook his head.

"No, I don't regret committing suicide. I regret that I spent the first half of my life dreaming, dreaming unrealistic dreams."

"What about the future?"

"No, I don't know. But as soon as I opened my eyes... I saw you... this job posting, now it seems that I came to the right place!"

"Since you've come to the right place, you can stay here with me." After that, Boss Cheng asked Fan Debiao, "When and where did you come from?"

“2006, Tieling, Kaiyuan.”

"Hey! Your hometown is not far from here!"

Fan Debiao looked around and asked, "Where is this?"

"Birch, birch forest."

"Snapped!"

Boss Cheng slapped himself in the face and finally avoided being led astray by Fan Debiao.

Fan Debiao was also amused, and responded with a smile: "That's really... not far. Just... just..."

"It's 300 kilometers by car, and it takes four hours to get there. If you take a helicopter, it will take at most an hour."

"Eh? Why, why are we taking a helicopter?"

Boss Cheng shrugged and said, "Because there is."

"Oh, oh, oh, oh! Boss, you still have a helicopter?"

"Of course not! Also, let me make it clear to you in advance that our probation period is three months, with food and accommodation provided, and a single apartment. As for the salary..."

Boss Cheng glanced at Denise and saw that she shrugged to show that she didn't care. Then he continued to talk to Fan Debiao: "The salary during the probation period is 1500 US dollars or 8000 RMB. After becoming a regular employee, it will be 2000 US dollars or 14000 RMB. It is usually calculated based on the exchange rate. Whichever is more suitable, we will pay you."

"This, this, this! Is money in this world so worthless? Every chef can offer two thousand! And, and, and in US dollars?"

"Although the money in 2024 is indeed less than that in 2006, the reason why our store costs so much is, first, because the work is very hard. Second, because our store does not pay for the five social insurances and one housing fund, because it is useless even if paid. Third, because..."

"Because our store has a lot of trouble." Denisa continued: "Our store always encounters all kinds of trouble. In addition, our boss only relies on the restaurant to pay off debts, not to make money. Because he usually doesn't make money, only gold or materials."

"Eh?"

Afterwards, Boss Cheng asked for Fan Debiao's name, original home address and ID number. After Fan Debiao provided this information, Boss Cheng called Zhou Zhezhi, who had transformed from Lara Croft into a magical conch.

"Yes, in another world, in 2006. Fan Debiao, living in Kaiyuan City, Tieling, ID number is..."

Shortly after.

"Found it? Are you sure this person doesn't exist? Then can you help confirm his household registration and ID card? Yes, just record his place of origin, and it's best not to change his ID number."

"Don't worry about that! Since he is a member of the Flower Planting Family in the other world, we can't let him no longer be one of ours after he changes to another world. Everything is easy to handle. Just say hello to the big brother in Kaiyuan and his household registration will be restored. But there is one more thing I need to ask of you!"

Zhou Zhezhi laughed at the other end of the phone, and then he discussed with Boss Cheng in a slightly shy tone: "Well, can you see if you can..."

"What are you dawdling about? Can you please come to the point?"

"Oh, let me get this straight!" Zhou cleared his throat. "The Flight Power Research Institute wants to borrow your Falcon for some research. They want to see the structure of the engine responsible for propulsion on your helicopter. The power system on the Quinjet is a bit backward, especially the pair of propellers embedded in the wings. They are almost disgusted by it.

You just happened to draw a blueprint of the Daigo transport for them, and they said that the aircraft you drew was much more reasonable than the Quinjet. However, with our current engine technology, it is difficult to achieve the maneuverability level of the Pelican you described. So..."

"So they're going to build the Pelican, huh?"

"Ah..." Zhou on the other end of the phone asked the research and development personnel of the institute, "Yes! They are ready to conduct technical feasibility verification."

0162 20th Century Expo

"In that place where peach blossoms are in full bloom, there is my lovely hometown."

Early in the morning of May 5, Fan Debiao put on the summer clothes he had just bought a few days ago and came to the restaurant to start a simple cleaning job. Because after the business is closed every day, Boss Cheng and his two friends will clean up thoroughly. So the cleaning work every morning is actually just to remove the floating dust and sprinkle water outside the store.

However, the job of "sprinkling water" is quite troublesome, because they need to sprinkle water on the birch forest, White Town, Diagon Alley, Hogsmeade, New York Central Park, Kasukabe, and Kabukicho Street.

As for the wilderness of Mondstadt, there is no need to sprinkle it, because there is green grass everywhere. You can't sprinkle it in the end world either, because if you sprinkle it, everything will freeze...

At first, Fan Debiao was not used to this box-type restaurant that could connect multiple worlds. But after seeing and hearing so much in the past few days, he got used to it. Besides, he could come back from the dead, so why couldn't other people's restaurants be allowed to travel through time?

He was watering outside the store, and Boss Cheng was also unloading vegetables from the delivery truck outside the store. Boss Cheng never let others do this kind of heavy work, not because Boss Cheng cared about them, but simply because their help would reduce the efficiency of the entire transportation process.

My cousin, who had soaked the door, hurried into the store and helped Mr. Cheng sort the vegetables that had just been brought in and store them properly. Then he filled in the types, quantities and purchase channels of the purchased vegetables on the form. In fact, he didn't understand why the industrial and commercial and health supervision departments forced the merchants to record these things. But the boss had no objection, so why should he, a worker, care? If they asked him to write it down in the notebook, he would just write it down.

"The future is going to be really troublesome. It's going to be so troublesome. It's going to be so troublesome."

"For the purpose of tracing food safety issues, we are afraid that we won't be able to find the person responsible if a group of people get poisoned." After that, Boss Cheng emphasized, "Brother Biao, even if you are four years older than me, there are some things that we chefs cannot ignore. For the beans, can you please stop focusing on the doneness of the sashimi? The beans don't need to be crispy and chewy."

"I don't think that if you stew it too much, it will lose its nutrition!"

"Yes, beans are nutritious, but what if there are no more people eating them?"

"That, that, that..."

"Stop talking about this and that. From now on, just stew the beans in the paste. You are quite good at stewing beans. If you don't stew them thoroughly, wouldn't your skills be wasted?"

“Really…really?”

"Why would I lie to you?"

"Okay, I'll stew it in the mushy paste at noon today."

That is to say, Boss Cheng is very careful. He has to taste every dish before it comes out of the pot to make sure it is perfect. That is how he found that the beans stewed by Brother Biao even have green cores. If this is given to customers, at least 600 people will come back to him in the next two days.

At first, Boss Cheng thought that Brother Biao was still not used to many things because he had just come back to life. But when Brother Biao failed to cook the beans well for the third time, Boss Cheng realized that he just didn't have the habit of stewing beans well.

Boss Cheng was stunned at that time!

I wondered how ruthless one must be to eat undercooked beans every meal. This is essentially no different from eating sashimi.

But apart from that, Brother Biao is a person with a strong sense of ritual. Before entering the kitchen, Brother Biao always wears a neat chef's uniform, puts on a chef's hat, and ties an apron before starting to work.

He was not like Boss Cheng, who would cut off the sleeves at the shoulders every time he got a new chef's uniform, then expose his big arms and wear sleeves to cook.

Boss Ke Cheng had no choice, as the sleeves of the largest-sized chef's uniform were not thick enough.

"Boss, at noon today we are still...just like yesterday..."

"Yes, just divide the work like we did last night. But when you coat the braised pork and sweet and sour pork with batter today, remember to coat them thinly. Too thick a batter will affect the taste."

Brother Biao explained: "I don't think... that this can save the store... a lot of money!"

"It's not necessary. Our store doesn't lack that little bit of cost. No matter how much we save, we can't save 2000 yuan a month."

Brother Biao nodded and replied with a smile: "That's fine, as long as the boss is not...short of money, I will do my best to work."

Another person who dared to let go was the "Red Flame Devil" Xiao Xiangcheng. But unlike Brother Biao, Xiao Xiangcheng's letting go was really letting go in the literal sense. Ever since she beat up the kid from the Taekwondo gym and was sent to kindergarten, Xiao Xiangcheng couldn't find a kindergarten in Hualin City for the past few months.

But people always say "as long as your thinking doesn't slip, there are always more solutions than problems", Denise exerted her subjective initiative and fully expanded her thinking, and finally her efforts paid off, and she came up with a solution - send Xiao Xiangcheng to Kasugabe to attend kindergarten!

Anyway, their mother tongue is similar to Japanese, so Xiao Xiangcheng can communicate with ordinary people in Kasukabe without any obstacles. So Xiao Xiangcheng was thrown into a kindergarten called "Futaba".

Although Xiao Xiangcheng, who is about to turn 6, can go to primary school in September of the second half of the year, and Boss Cheng once suggested that Denise send Xiao Xiangcheng to a private preschool so that the child can learn some first-grade cultural courses. But Denise always believes that children just need to have fun before going to school.

This is why Denise threw Xiao Cheng to the Shuangye Kindergarten, which doesn't teach her anything. But Boss Cheng always thought that Denise was scared of Xiao Xiangcheng's homework tutoring and would avoid it as long as she could. And because there is a date difference between 2004 and 2024, the hotel does not close when the kindergarten is closed, and the kindergarten does not close when the hotel is closed.

On the other hand, Xiao Xiangcheng, who went to Futaba Kindergarten to play happily, was fortunate enough to become classmates with Xiaoxin, Fengjian, Zhengnan, Nini and Adai. Nini not only became good friends with Xiao Xiangcheng, but also learned knee strikes, Spartan kicks, Kimura locks and cross armbars from Xiao Xiangcheng.

Anyway, the reputation of the "Sunflower Duo" has already spread to the Rose Class and Sakura Class next door.

话说5月23号这天是2004年周日，但在2024年却是周四。诚老板和彪哥刚刚把蔬菜和肉类按要求存放好，经常光顾盒饭店的野原广志就带着一家3口来到了店里。

"Eh? No breakfast?" Facing his family's cold stares, Nohara Hiroshi smiled awkwardly, "I clearly remembered that the boss sells breakfast here, I didn't expect that I remembered it wrong, hehe, hehe..."

In fact, Nohara Hiroshi remembered correctly, but it was not this Nohara Hiroshi, but the Nohara Hiroshi in another world with Fuyuki City. Perhaps the selves in each world are somehow connected, which is why the Nohara Hiroshi in this world thought that he had also eaten breakfast in Boss Makoto's store.

But in fact, after Boss Cheng went to hell, the restaurant never bought breakfast again because Denise couldn't handle it alone.

"Gululu..."

Xiao Xin's stomach suddenly growled, and Boss Cheng suggested, "If you don't mind, you can have a few bowls of instant noodles here. It's my treat."

"Eh? In that case..."

Just as Guangzhi was about to show his business politeness, the outgoing Xiaoxin climbed onto Boss Cheng's body, sat on his shoulders with ease, and asked him if he had any chocolate-flavored instant noodles.

But Shin-chan, who was just trying to brag about it, got a positive response from the boss. Even the Noharas never thought that there really is chocolate-flavored instant noodles in the world.

Boss Cheng could only lament that the business environment in 2004 was too conservative. Twenty years later, not to mention chocolate-flavored instant noodles, even chocolate durian and durian garlic-flavored instant noodles have been developed!

It just so happens that Xiao Qian and Xiao You’s supermarket has these weird-flavored instant noodles.

Boss Cheng confirmed with Xiaoxin again: "Are you really going to eat chocolate flavored instant noodles?"

"emmm..."

At this moment, Xiaoxin actually hesitated. But Xiaoxin, who dared to try, made up his mind, and then, as if he was under a painful spell, he finished a small bucket of chocolate-flavored instant noodles with a bitter face.

"We!" Guangzhi chatted with Boss Cheng after finishing his instant noodles, "I plan to take them to the 20th Century Expo to reminisce about the past."

"But isn't it only 2004? Only four years into the 20th century, and you're already nostalgic?"

Guangzhi shook his head and told the boss: "We are not nostalgic for the late 20th century, but for the 20s, when the Osaka World Expo took place."

"Oh! I see!" Boss Cheng suddenly realized, "You are here to commemorate the collective memory of the fastest economic development, right?"

"That's right. We do plan to go there to look for our childhood memories." After that, Guangzhi asked Boss Cheng, "Aren't you planning to take Xiangcheng to see it? The Expo is held in the suburbs of Tokyo. It takes less than two hours to drive there."

But the problem is that once Boss Cheng drives the car out, he might be wanted by both the Kasukabe police and the Tokyo police. And speaking of cars, Boss Cheng thinks of the scrapped police car light box advertisement.

After a year and a half of advertising, it came and went in a hurry, and "swish", it was gone!

"Burp! Burp! Burp!"

Brother Biao quickly covered his mouth and apologized, "I didn't eat properly this morning, so I hiccuped."

I thought you won 500 million!

But speaking of orange...
