The first step in the book is to start selling tofu

"If you want to eat it, I'll buy you fish next time and cook it for you. There's nothing to cry about." Lin Zhi took the handkerchief helplessly and wiped the tears from the corners of Daya's eyes.

"Greedy girl!" Seeing this, Dalang kindly picked up a piece of dried chili for Daya: "It's not spicy enough. It will be the same if you eat some dried chili."

Daya looked at them with tears in her eyes and explained pitifully: "I was hurt by this little thing."

"Can this little thing really make you spicy? I don't believe it." Erlang picked up a peppercorn and put it in his mouth in disbelief.

Dalang didn't believe it either, so he picked one up and put it in his mouth.

So, there were immediately two people with tearful eyes at the dinner table.

"This is not 'spicy' at all, it's 'numbing'." Dalang frowned and looked at Daya uncomfortably. He felt that he had lost all feeling in his lips.

Daya blinked innocently. She didn’t understand. Could anyone blame her?

At this time, Madam Zhou came over with freshly cooked vegetables and braised meat.

"Take the braised meat over and eat it over there. These three dishes are enough for us." Lin Zhi took the vegetables and put them on the table.

The whole family is already tired of eating braised pork, and this dish is indeed enough.

Instead of leaving it here and wasting it, it would be better to give it to the guys in the store.

There are as many as fourteen waiters in the restaurant today, plus Madam Zhou's children, making a total of fifteen. If there were only these few dishes, it would seem a bit shabby.

Madam Zhou nodded, then quickly returned to the shop next door.

She really couldn't wait to taste what the pickled fish tasted like.

Madam Zhou first put the food on the table, then turned around and went to each room to call the waiters to come out to eat.

The store is closed today, and those guys who can't stand seeing outsiders don't have to hide in their rooms as usual.

"Everyone, come out and eat quickly. We have new dishes to eat today!"

As soon as Madam Zhou finished speaking, the waiters who had originally planned to dawdle for a while immediately put down their work and ran towards the dining table.

The most exaggerated one among them was Wang Changshan. He ran straight to the dining table without even having time to wash his hands.

By the time others arrived at the table, Wang Changshan had already tasted all the dishes.

As soon as he saw them approaching, he immediately shared with everyone excitedly: "Today's dishes are really delicious, and every dish goes very well with rice."

Indeed, every dish is mouth-watering, but Wang Changshan’s favorite is the braised pork.

Since he joined the company early, when there were fewer employees, there was even braised pork rice in the work meals, but unfortunately it was later cancelled.

When the others smelled the aroma of the food, they quickened their pace and rushed over.

Considering that everyone would dine together, Madam Zhou specially put three tables together so that everyone could sit around together, adding a lively atmosphere.

Everyone started to enjoy the food according to the seat closest to them. Every time they tried a dish, they were shocked by its deliciousness.

These dishes are simply delicious!

Because there were so many people, everyone wanted to eat more, so they hardly talked to each other.

Madam Zhou's goal was very clear, she just wanted to try the pickled fish.

After Madam Zhou and her colleagues sat down in the cafeteria, her eyes immediately fell on the pickled fish.

The fragrant smell made her pick up the chopsticks impatiently and quickly reach for the delicious pickled fish.

When the tender fish meat slid into her mouth, Madam Zhou felt a sense of satisfaction. This bite of fish was simply the best taste in the world!

Mrs. Zhou's son was extremely anxious because he was too short to reach the vegetables.

Seeing his mother enjoying the food by herself, the little guy stood on the chair anxiously.

At this time, Chen Zishu on the side noticed this situation. He quickly stretched out his chopsticks and helped the boy pick up a piece of fragrant braised meat.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhou no longer had time to continue savoring the delicacy in her mouth. She quickly put down her chopsticks and put the child's food into the bowl.

At this feast, the male employees had a special liking for braised pork, followed by minced meat and green beans, and pickled fish ranked third.

According to Wang Changshan, eating fish requires spitting out the bones, which is too cumbersome. It is not as convenient and quick as the other two dishes, which can be chewed and swallowed directly.

So, everyone worked hard and ate heartily.

In a blink of an eye, the four delicious dishes were all gone, and even the soup from the pickled fish was used to mix with the rice and eaten up completely.

Madam Zhou excitedly described the scene to Lin Zhi: "I fell in love with the pickled fish after just one bite. The meat is tender, the pickled cabbage is crisp, and the soup is sour and spicy. And the braised meat melts in your mouth, fatty but not greasy. The minced pork and beans are also a must-try. The beans are fragrant and the minced meat is rich. It's a perfect match together."

Lin Zhi smiled and said, "When the head of Wangzhuang comes tomorrow, I will tell him to send a few fish every five days."

Eating fish every day is still a bit of a luxury nowadays, the cost is too high. It is also nice to occasionally improve the meals for employees and change the taste.

"Mom, should we sell the pickled fish in the store?" Daya suddenly asked.

She feels that the restaurant’s dishes have never been innovative. After a long time, will the diners become bored like the employees?

After all, if you keep eating the same thing, you will get tired of it one day.

Lin Zhi refused without even thinking: "For now, don't. This dish requires spices such as chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns, so we can't let too many people know about it for now."

Moreover, several dishes in their restaurant are in short supply every day, and there should be very few people who can eat them every day and get tired of them.

Besides, the store has already added new products such as bean curd balls, fried chicken and braised duck. The variety of dishes is already rich enough to meet the taste needs of different people.

If someone is tired of a certain type of food, they can choose other dishes. Most importantly, Lin Zhi does not want to recruit new people. She is worried that if the business is too good, she will have to expand the scale and face a series of problems.

Therefore, maintaining the status quo and operating stably is the best option.

There is no extra space in the store for employees to live, and no extra space in the kitchen for people to work.

Lin Zhi thought about it and decided that when he had time, he would have to find a house specifically to use as a staff dormitory.

These are things for the future. She is still busy now, so these things she wants to do have to be put on hold for the time being.

But there is one thing that can be taken over by someone else.

The next day was the first day of October.

That morning, Lin Zhi took some time out to find Zhou's mother and asked her if she was willing to be a long-term worker.
