Wow! My wife is beautiful and obedient, everyone envies her!

Qi Yuan didn't answer. Just then, a childish voice whispered from nearby, "Are we not getting any free meat starting today?"

Qi Yuan looked over upon hearing the sound.

Five children stood around the streetlight, looking at them timidly.

The child was dressed in rags, covered in dirt, with chilblains all over his hands and a face red from the cold.

When they saw Qi Yuan looking over, their timid eyes became even more frightened, and some immediately hid behind their friends.

“There’s a church in the third district of the north of the city. The clergy there give bread and other things to the children every day. Most importantly, they have a very spacious open space where we can set up a tasting booth. No one should dislike people coming to try the food if we set up a tasting booth there.”

Noah's voice sounded from behind.

Qi Yuan turned around to look.

Upon seeing his appearance, the crowd became both respectful and fearful, unconsciously taking a step back.

Ignoring their fear, Noah bent down to look at Qi Yuan, "It's good to set up the tasting booth a little further away, so that people who don't have time to come here will know that there is such a restaurant in the city. What do you think? Yuan, do you want to do it? If so, I'll send someone to inform the church over there."

Qi Yuan nodded. "Okay, thank you for your help."

"No trouble at all." Noah straightened up and looked at everyone. "Do you have any other objections?"

"That's all, that's all," the shop owners said with a smile. "Mr. Noah is so kind, willing to dedicate his efforts to the poor children."

“It’s easy to be kind. Would you like to donate some money to the church with me? So they can help more children who don’t have enough to eat in the winter,” Noah asked.

The shop owners looked at each other, clearly unsure whether they would contribute a single penny.

Noah's brow furrowed coldly. "So, you bosses have absolutely no compassion at all?"

"No, we're donating, we're just wondering how much to donate?"

“Let’s give each person a thousand. It’s not too much, just a little kindness. Let’s all go to church to donate money tomorrow.”

"Okay, okay, Mr. Noah, we have other things to attend to, so we'll go ahead and get back to work."

Fearing further losses, the shop owner quickly made an excuse to leave.

Noah didn't make things difficult for them; he let them go when they wanted to.

After they left, Qi Yuan asked, "What are you doing here?"

"This street belongs to me, why would it be strange for me to be here?" Noah retorted.

Qi Yuan was stunned for a moment, unsure of what to say.

Noah patted his head. "Work hard. I have things to do too, so I can't be late. Kids, go to the church and get your meat."

The children's eyes lit up when they heard Noah's words. After saying thank you, they headed straight for the church.

Noah didn't linger. He was too embarrassed to be too late for today's meeting; if he arrived late, the cake would be all gone.

Qi Yuan also opened the restaurant.

Before long, the employees arrived one by one.

They skillfully began preparing ingredients, wiping tables, and cleaning.

That's the good thing about adults; they have extensive experience and knowledge, so they know what to do without being told. When Qi arrived at the kitchen, everyone was busy at their respective posts.

Qi Yuan watched his employees busily working, frowning in deep thought without uttering a word.

Xiu noticed the way he was scrutinizing the employees and asked, "A-Yuan, what are you looking at?"

"Xiu, do you think that employee's job is relatively easy? Or rather, his job can be taken over by someone else?"

There was no fire in the kitchen, only the sounds of washing dishes and chopping meat.

Qi Yuan's voice wasn't loud, but it was still heard by everyone in the kitchen.

Upon hearing this, everyone assumed that Qi Yuan was going to lay off employees, and fearing that they would be laid off, they worked even harder!

"No way." Xiu glanced around. "The third day after the restaurant opens is the busiest time. Let alone having one employee replace another, I think you'll need to hire two more employees."

The employees secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Xiu say this.

Qi Yuan said, "I'd like to hire three more employees. Xiu, do you have any recommendations?"

"Three? Ah Yuan, what do you need three more employees for?"

Qi Yuan's number was very accurate, and Xiu felt that he had his own plans in mind when he gave that number.

“You previously said that hot pot meals take a long time and have a low table turnover rate, especially at lunchtime, when there are only a limited number of customers that can be served. So I want to sell stir-fries that customers can eat within 20 minutes.”

Xiu was surprised that Qi Yuan had remembered what he had said, and asked happily, "Yuan, are you going to hire three employees to learn how to cook Dongzhou cuisine with you?"

"Yes, two people will be responsible for chopping and washing vegetables to assist the chef, so it would be best to hire someone with chef experience."

As soon as Qi Yuan finished speaking, the eyes of the busy employees lit up.

A restaurant can do without waiters, but it absolutely cannot do without chefs.

Even if the restaurant closes down, the chefs are the ones who find jobs the fastest.

Everyone wants to be a chef, because only by becoming a chef can one truly have a secure job.

Moreover, the dishes that Qi Yuan taught must be Dongzhou cuisine.

Even if the Dongzhou cuisine is just average, it still has enough appeal in Beizhou to attract people to dine here.

The employees busy in the kitchen were all itching to learn, wondering if they should tell Qi Yuan that they could learn it. Just then, Casio's voice rang out first.

"Boss, can I learn to cook from you?"

Qi Yuan looked up and said, "No, this kitchen can't function without you cutting meat."

Casio currently has the best and fastest beef-cutting skills. If he were a chef, he wouldn't be able to keep up with the demand for meat.

"Boss, can I do it?" Aubrey asked with a simple smile. "I'm in charge of the desserts in the restaurant, but it seems like people don't really like my desserts, so very few customers order them. My job is probably the easiest of all."

Aubry only bakes the two most common desserts in North America, and the guests who come here don't like the desserts they've eaten since childhood at all.

I thought to myself, I can do it at home, why should I spend money to do it here? It's cheaper to do it myself.

As a result, desserts were the lowest-selling item in the restaurant.

Qi Yuan didn't speak immediately; his gaze fell on the desserts that Aubrey had prepared.

Despite his tall and muscular build, Aubrey's desserts are quite beautiful, and it's clear that this strong man is very meticulous.

Qi Yuan's eyes lit up as he looked at the frills on the apple pie. "Aubrey, you can do it!"

Aubrey's eyes immediately lit up. "Thank you, boss."

"Go and get the flour."

"Flour?" Aubrey asked, puzzled. "Boss, do we need flour to stir-fry dishes?"

"I'll teach you how to cook later. I'll teach you how to make dumplings first. Dumplings are easy to learn."
