The Age of Discovery: Chinese cuisine swept across Europe

Yun Ji started to calculate the bill for the hotel today, and Min Xi stood up to close the door. He went back to wash up. Now he finally didn't have to take a shower every day, which saved him a lot of trouble.

By the time he started soaking his feet, Yun Ji had already calculated today's accounts, and today's total income was less than 10 reais. But in business, there are always more and less, so just keep a calm mind.

After listening to Yun Ji's summary, Min Xi said, "Go wash up and soak your feet. It's cold, go upstairs and rest early."

Yun Ji nodded and turned to wash up.

They washed up, checked the stove, closed the door, and went upstairs.

Yun Ji wanted to sit at the table and study the math materials Professor Boyle gave him, but Min Xi said, "Seventh Brother, take it to the bed and read it. It's so cold."

After a moment's hesitation, Yun Ji moved the candle to the bedside cabinet and continued reading while sitting in bed.

Min Xi just lay down and fell asleep.

The wind outside the window was howling, making the window tremble. It seemed as if the strong wind had two hands and was about to tear the window apart at any time, but Min Xi was not affected at all and slept soundly. This was a habit he developed from sailing for many years, and he could sleep well even if the sky fell.

Yun Ji was looking at the information when he suddenly pricked up his ears. He seemed to hear a knock on the door and someone calling "Boss".

Yun Ji put down the paper and pen in his hand, lifted the quilt, put on his shoes, picked up his coat and put it on, then went downstairs holding the candlestick.

When he reached the second floor, he clearly heard someone knocking on the door and loud calls. He quickened his pace and went downstairs quickly. He put the candlestick on the counter and asked, "Who is it?"

A male voice came from outside the door: "Boss, it's me, Jasper."

Yun Ji opened the door, and a cold wind rushed in from outside, chilling people to the bone: "Why are you here at this time?"

Jasper held a roll of bedding in his arm and a cloth bag in his other hand. "Boss, the roof of the house I rented was blown off by the strong wind today, and the rain just happened to leak onto my bed. I have nowhere to go, so I want to stay in the store for two days. Just like Diego did before, I will sleep behind the counter."

Yun Ji said, "It's cold, and you're too big, so I'm afraid the counter won't be able to block much of the wind."

"It doesn't matter. It's not colder than living in a leaky house," said Jasper.

Yun Ji said, "Okay, you come in first." In fact, he had thought about letting Jasper live in the snack shop, after all, there were warmer sofas there, but since the other party didn't bring it up, he didn't say anything.

"Thank you, boss." Jasper came in and put down the luggage.

Yunji lit a candle on the counter and said, "There are two wooden boards against the wall in the backyard. Diego used to make his bed. Put them on the chair. Can your quilt be used?"

Jasper nodded: "Okay." Fortunately, he rolled up the quilt and placed it on the head of the bed, so it was only a little splashed, not soaked, and could still be used as a cover.

Yun Ji said, "Then you can just make do with it for one night, and then go buy a mattress tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you, Boss. I'll clean up by myself, you go upstairs and have some rest early." Jasper said.

Yun Ji nodded: "Then you should rest early, pay attention to the fire and candles, and be careful."

"it is good!"

Yun Ji went upstairs and got back into bed, and Min Xi was not alarmed at all.

It was not until the next day that Min Xi discovered that Jasper lived downstairs. He asked Yun Ji in confusion: "Seventh Brother, why is he living in the store?"

Yun Ji then told him what happened last night.

Jasper heard the noise and got up quickly: "Boss, do you want to go buy some groceries? I'll go with you."

Min Xi didn't refuse after hearing this: "If you're not afraid of the cold, come with me."

Jasper was a hard-working man. Although he didn't talk much, he was strong and good at work. He followed the two of them silently and took the initiative to help carry whatever they bought. He was an excellent laborer.

When Min Xi was buying groceries, he listened from the side, watching how Min Xi selected seafood, meat, vegetables, and how he bargained with people.

When they were almost home, Min Xi asked, "Jasper, I heard that the house you rented had a leak."

"Yes, boss."

"How many days do you plan to stay in the store?" Min Xi asked.

Jasper hesitated and said nervously, "Let's see when my bed is dry."

Min Xi nodded: "It's up to you. Go buy a mattress later. It's cold at night, don't freeze."

Jasper was instantly relieved when he heard Min Xi say that. He actually wanted to live in the store in the future. On the one hand, he could save on rent, and on the other hand, he could spend more time with the two bosses, so that he would have the opportunity to learn more. Wasn't Diego entrusted with the important task of becoming the store manager because of this?

When Gail came to work, he learned that Jasper had stayed in the store last night and bought a mattress. It seemed that he was planning to stay there for a long time. He suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis. This Jasper was too scheming. He actually used this method to get ahead of others and get close to the boss.

It would be fine if Diego was more valued by the boss than himself, after all, Diego knew the boss before himself, but Jasper came so late, how could he get ahead of himself!

So he decided without hesitation that he would also live in the store!

So when Gail proposed to move into the store, Min Xi was stunned for a moment and said, "You don't have a place to live?"

Gail hesitantly said, "It's not very convenient to live with relatives." In fact, he worked in a Chinese restaurant and could occasionally bring some snacks and desserts back home. The Bailey family liked them very much and never expressed any diswelcome to him living in their home.

Min Xi thought for a moment and said, "If you don't want to live with your relatives, then go live over at the dim sum restaurant. The four of you can squeeze into the attic and it should be able to accommodate you."

Gail originally wanted to stay at the hotel, but the attic was occupied by the owner, so it was impossible for them to live there. There was no more room for people to stay in the lobby downstairs, so he had to agree: "Okay, I'll stay at the dim sum restaurant."

In fact, this way, he went from living alone in the attic to living in the attic with four people, but in order not to fall behind, this sacrifice was worth it! He just regretted not seizing the opportunity first, otherwise he could have moved into the hotel before Jasper.

In this way, there are only two female employees in the store who do not live in the store, and Min Xi has no way to make arrangements. Amanda's child is still young, so she must live at home. Greta is a girl, and it is not convenient for her to live with a group of male employees, so she can only make arrangements herself.

When Min Xi went shopping for groceries today, he consciously selected ingredients suitable for hot pot, and from today on, he would mainly promote hot pot. Of course, stir-fry is also available, after all, not all customers like to eat hot pot.

Of course, the majority of guests are able to accept hot pot. After all, there are very few new dishes introduced by Chinese restaurants that people are unwilling to try, and they usually do not disappoint.

Sure enough, hot pot has been very popular since its launch. Who wouldn’t want to have a hot meal in the middle of winter instead of having the food get cold while they’re eating?

Baron Fernando would come to eat hot pot every day, not only by himself, but also by inviting others to eat, because this way of eating hot pot is so interesting. He also found that the more people there are, the more interesting it is to eat, so he invited almost all his relatives and friends to let everyone experience the richness and diversity of Chinese food.

When Fernando learned that Min Xi not only made clear soup base but also red soup base, he asked Min Xi to make him a pot of red soup base.

Min Xi advised him: "You should just dip it in some spicy sauce instead of the red soup base. I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."

Who is Fernando? He has been rebellious since he was a child. The more he is forbidden to do something, the more he wants to do it and he has to try it.

Min Xi couldn't persuade him, so he had to make him a red soup base, but he used the chili pepper sparingly, not wanting him to eat something too spicy.

As a result, Fernando was sweating profusely after eating the red soup, and his mouth was swollen like a sausage, but he refused to give it up and kept saying it was delicious. The more he ate, the more he enjoyed it.

Lord Melo also loves hotpot. Although he doesn't invite as many friends as Fernando to eat hotpot together, he comes to eat hotpot almost every day.
