The whole family traveled through time and became doctors, raised children and farmed in ancient tim

In the next few days, Xie Songlin arranged things in the cafeteria. He installed a few new pots in the kitchen and built a lot of shelves for storage. After a few days of busy work, the cafeteria's kitchen looked brand new.

Zhou is the person mainly responsible for the kitchen. In the past two days, Xie Songlin has let her take charge of the kitchen staff scheduling, and the placement of items is basically based on her ideas.

The floor was swept clean, free of the mud and debris of the past, the stove was wiped spotlessly clean, and the tidy kitchen not only allowed the chefs to cook more easily and find the items they needed quickly, but also reduced the waste and damage of ingredients. Everyone who walked into the kitchen couldn't help but marvel at this huge change.

The canteen hall was also rearranged. The old tables and chairs were repaired. The craftsmen carefully reinforced the mortise and tenon structure, replaced the damaged wooden boards, and applied a new coat of paint. Xie Songlin also bought a number of long tables and placed them in the middle, creating a very spacious dining area.

Xie Dachun was very efficient. He led his team to build a food window in just a few days. The food window was connected to the kitchen. There were eight large plates on each long table, which was where students would order and serve food.

After almost everything was packed up, Xie Songlin held a staff meeting, mainly to organize them to learn about the new meal tickets.

Xie Songlin distributed invoices of all colors to each group of five people. Everyone gathered together curiously, fiddling with the meal tickets in their hands and carefully observing the cute little patterns on them.

There was actually someone among them who could read. He was also attracted by the pattern and inadvertently turned the meal ticket over. When his eyes fell on the words on it, he couldn't help but read out aloud: "One meat and one vegetable... ten cents?" His voice was not loud, and there was a hint of doubt in his voice, as if he was not sure whether he read it correctly.

Xie Songlin was a little surprised: "Oh? You can recognize the words above?"

"Go back to the boss and learn some." The one who could read was a child from a family that used to live in the canteen. When he saw Xie Songlin looking at him, he scratched his head embarrassedly.

"How did you recognize him?"

"Sometimes when there were classes in the academy, I would sneak over to listen, but I didn't dare go too often for fear of being discovered. I would also pick up some of the waste paper they used for writing and read it."

Xie Songlin nodded slightly, with an admiring look in his eyes: "Not bad, you are ambitious. Follow me from now on, and I will teach you how to count."

The young man didn't expect such a surprise and thanked Xie Songlin repeatedly.

"I know none of you can read much, so if you can remember the words above, you're welcome. If not, that's fine. You don't need to collect the money. Just identify the meal ticket. We pay for dishes with the meal ticket, so everyone needs to remember the color of the meal ticket. For example, the green one gets you two vegetarian dishes, and we sell them for seven coins. The yellow one gets you one meat dish and one vegetable dish, and we sell them for ten coins. The blue one gets you two meat dishes and one vegetable dish, and the red one gets you three meat dishes..."

Xie Songlin introduced them one by one, and everyone listened with a vague understanding. However, Xie Songlin did not expect them to remember all of them at once today. He just needed to strengthen their impression through daily assessments. There were only a few colors in total, and they would be able to remember them anyway.

However, the people who mainly need to record their meal tickets are the people who serve food in front, who are mainly older women and young wives.

After the New Year, Li no longer went to the shop in town to help. She stayed at home to help Cheng Hui take care of the children and do some housework, so Cheng Hui had more free time. She also came to the academy and made some suggestions. She also wrote a recipe that she and Xie Wanxing had found together and gave it to Zhou. It was mainly some delicious home-cooked dishes that were suitable for cooking in a big pot.

Xie Songlin set up a cycle mode for the canteen's menu. The menu needs to be determined in advance, and the dishes must be different every day. A cycle is seven days. In this way, the dishes must be rich and diverse, but not too complicated so as not to increase the difficulty of operation.

Although Zhou's cooking was delicious, she didn't know many tricks. She was worrying about how to decide on the menu for the canteen, and when she received the recipe from Cheng Hui, she was overjoyed.

In the midst of her busy schedule, Xie Songlin did not forget to look for a shop on the main street, but unfortunately she had not seen any that suited her. In addition, Xie Wanxing had not had time to think about what to put in the shop recently. Ideas came to her one after another, but when she really had to sit down and think about what was suitable to sell in large quantities in the shop, she felt like her head was empty.

Shadows of various things flashed through her mind, but she couldn't grasp the key. It was impossible for a shop to be supported by just a few things, so the shop matter was put on hold for the time being.

Xie Wanxing no longer stayed in the house reading books all day long. The academy was about to start and the students were coming back one after another. She planned to go out more often to adjust her state and try to think about the products suitable for sale in the store from different angles. She planned to recall her past shopping experiences and observe the needs of people around her, hoping to get inspiration from them.

Xie Heng and Xie Lin finally caught up with their sister, whom they hadn't seen for a long time. They happily rushed over, hugging Xie Wanxing from the left and right, and affectionately said to her for a long time: "Sister, you finally agreed to come out to play! What kind of candy were you secretly eating in the house?"

"Why should I eat candy? I'm reading a book." Xie Wanxing's face was distorted by their squeezing. She felt helpless and funny. She struggled hard but could not get rid of her brothers' warm embrace. She could only look at her mother silently and ask her for help with a frown.

Cheng Hui looked at the interaction between the three children with a gentle smile on her face. She shook her head gently, her eyes full of pampering: "Okay, both of you stop making trouble and let your sister go."

Xie Heng and Xie Lin then reluctantly let go of her hands, and Xie Wanxing was finally free. She tidied up her messed clothes and hair, and glared at her brothers helplessly.

"Don't you need to study? The academy is about to start, and Mr. Shen will be back soon. He will test you on your homework. Can you answer it?"

The two who had spent the entire New Year having fun naturally didn't read a single word. When they heard Xie Wanxing mention that Shen Yuxi was coming back soon, their faces immediately fell. They would definitely not be able to answer anything when the master came back.

But now Cheng Hui was watching, so they didn't dare to be too presumptuous. Xie Heng touched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly: "Hey, sister, it's not that I'm so happy to see you. Of course we will read the book, don't worry."

There was a hint of guilt in his eyes, and he was obviously a little nervous.

Xie Lin, beside him, rubbed his hands nervously, unsure what to do. He stole a glance at Cheng Hui, then at Xie Wanxing, feeling a surge of unease. He knew he and his brother had indulged themselves too much this New Year, and now, facing the impending academic pressure, they felt a bit overwhelmed.

Cheng Hui looked at her two sons, feeling both angry and amused. She frowned slightly, a hint of reproach in her eyes: "You guys, all you do is play. Now you know how to be anxious, don't you? Go read a book!"

Xie Heng and Xie Lin looked at each other, and then quickly left Cheng Hui's sight.
