Miler, who has a system for giving up
Chapter 105 One Chef
That night, all was quiet, and everyone was immersed in their cultivation, but I alone slipped back to that mysterious medicinal field.
The moonlight, like water, spilled over the medicinal herb field, illuminating the exotic herbs in a dreamlike way.
The most eye-catching of them all is the mutated Spirit Grass, which is surrounded by a thick halo of light, like a dazzling light curtain.
I cautiously approached the mutated spirit grass, stretched out my hands, mobilized the spiritual power within my body, and tried to put that halo into my spatial ring.
As I moved, the light circle seemed to be drawn in, slowly flowing until it all disappeared into the spatial ring.
Looking at the empty sky above the Spirit Grass, I couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment.
After completing this task, I slipped out of the herb field, went downstairs to the living room, and called out Xuanwu and Phoenix.
When they saw me appear, they immediately surrounded me excitedly.
"Master, I heard you're going to break through tomorrow? Can you take me with you?" The phoenix blinked its bright eyes and gently tugged at my sleeve with its sharp claws, speaking in a coquettish tone.
"Yes, Master, take us with you! We can protect you!" Xuanwu chimed in, nodding and wagging its thick tail.
Seeing how enthusiastic they were, I couldn't bear to refuse, so I smiled and agreed, "Alright, I'll take you with me. But you should go back to the herb field tonight and rest. I'll release you when we reach the forbidden area tomorrow."
Hearing my words, the two little ones, though somewhat reluctant, obediently followed me back to the herb field.
However, as soon as they entered the medicinal field, they began to complain incessantly.
"Ugh, there's not even a comfortable place to sleep here, it's so uncomfortable!" the phoenix grumbled, flapping its wings.
“That’s right, Master, you have to think of a way to improve this situation!” Xuanwu chimed in from the side.
After listening to their complaints, I secretly made a mental note of it and decided to include improving the environment of the medicinal herb field in my future plans.
After calming the two little ones down, I suddenly remembered my little darling who had always been by my side, and wondered where she was right now.
So, I whispered in my mind, "My little darling, are you back?" But there was no response...
So, filled with anticipation, I opened the system panel again, only to find the lottery interface still spinning around like a windmill.
Clearly, the system has not been fully repaired.
Left with no other choice, I had to temporarily put aside my anxiety and begin to carefully check the various items and tools I would need for tomorrow.
After everything was ready, I slowly closed my eyes, adjusted my breathing, and entered a state of cultivation.
With a thought, the cultivation technique that was originally running smoothly within my body instantly accelerated its flow.
A powerful and warm energy surged from the dantian and quickly spread throughout the body along the meridians.
Gradually, I seemed to forget everything around me, and my whole being was immersed in this wonderful world of cultivation.
Time flies, and before we knew it, it was already the next morning.
As the first rays of sunlight streamed into the room through the window, everyone slowly emerged from their deep meditation.
Despite not having slept all night, everyone looked radiant and full of vitality, their bodies brimming with spiritual energy.
It turns out that everyone had used up all the water in their respective pools before cultivating last night, in order to maximize their strength and increase their chances of breaking through to a higher realm today.
Looking at each other's spirited appearance, everyone was full of confidence about the upcoming breakthrough.
One by one, filled with hope and anticipation, we walked briskly towards the restaurant...
We thought we arrived a bit early, and that the restaurant might still be in the preparation stage and hadn't started cooking yet.
However, when we stepped through the door, we were pleasantly surprised to find that breakfast had already been neatly laid out!
Today's breakfast can only be described as "sumptuous".
The first thing that catches the eye is a large pot of steaming seafood porridge, filled with fresh shrimp, large abalone and sea cucumber, crab meat and various shellfish, exuding a rich and fragrant aroma.
Next to it was a row of delicate little bowls filled with crystal-clear bird's nest, which had a smooth and tender texture and was nourishing and beautifying.
Looking over there, the golden crab roe tofu soup is enticing in color, with a thick broth and tofu that melts in your mouth, perfectly blending with the delicious crab roe.
And then there's the abalone, red date, and goji berry soup, which is rich in nutrients and has a mellow flavor; every sip allows you to taste the essence of the ingredients.
Of course, the delicate crab roe soup dumplings are a must-try. Gently bite into the thin skin, and the piping hot soup will flow out instantly, filling your mouth with the delicious flavor of crab roe.
The Eight Treasure Duck is even more mouthwatering, with tender and flavorful duck meat and eight kinds of ingredients complementing each other, making this dish a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate.
In addition, there are many other delicious dishes on the table, such as crispy fried dough sticks, soft and sweet steamed buns, and refreshing side dishes... There is everything you could want, making it a feast for the eyes.
At this moment, we all spontaneously switched to self-sufficiency and took action to allow the hardworking staff to take a short break.
Everyone busied themselves, but with great enthusiasm, bringing over all sorts of delicious and varied dishes.
The enticing aroma instantly filled the air, making one's mouth water.
Unable to contain my intense curiosity any longer, I stared wide-eyed and eagerly asked Yimeng, "Yimeng, just how many skilled chefs does your restaurant have? How can it be so amazing! To be able to prepare everything so thoroughly at this time, and every dish looks so delicious and fragrant, and tastes absolutely amazing!"
As soon as I finished speaking, the people around me echoed my sentiments, indicating that they were also very curious about this issue.
After all, we had never arrived so early before. No one expected that at only 5:37 a.m., the entire restaurant would be ready, as if waiting for diners to feast.
This truly amazed everyone present.
"I've made some careful arrangements! A whole hundred people! You know, there are only thirty days in a month. If we calculate it by each person being responsible for one day, then we'd need exactly thirty people. But we have so many people here, so we need to plan our meals carefully. We'll have ten chefs for breakfast, ten chefs for lunch, and of course, ten for dinner, which adds up to another thirty! But, you know, everyone gets sick sometimes, right? If someone suddenly has a headache, fever, or feels unwell, we need someone to take their place cooking, so I found another thirty people. But then I thought, what if one of these thirty new people also gets sick? So, I simply prepared another thirty people just in case. That makes a total of ninety! Finally, I thought since we're almost at a hundred, we might as well find ten more people to round it up." Qin Yimeng explained to everyone methodically.
"Oh my goodness, Xiao Yimeng, won't those who do the work and those who don't get into conflicts or even fights? After all, there are a hundred of them!" Ye Dongjun frowned and asked with a worried expression.
"Dongjun, you mustn't underestimate our Yimeng! She's absolutely adept at handling these kinds of things and can solve the problem in no time." Yan Luo quickly stepped forward to defend Qin Yimeng and assured her confidently.
Qin Yimeng's lips curled into a sweet smile as she said in a sweet voice, "Hehe, I put a lot of thought into this! I specially prepared a detailed work schedule for them. This way, they can negotiate and adjust their work hours and shifts privately according to their own circumstances. And no matter how it's arranged, everyone will get the same pay. Of course, if there are large events that require preparing a lot of food, they will still work together to complete the task. In short, I only have one basic and most important requirement for them: no matter when or where, as long as someone comes to our restaurant, we must ensure that there is always hot and delicious food available!"
After hearing Qin Yimeng's words, my eyes lit up, and I immediately gave her a thumbs up, expressing my sincere appreciation: "Wow, this is a brilliant idea! In this way, even if everyone is extremely busy on weekdays, as soon as their stomachs start growling, they can immediately enjoy delicious food as soon as they step into our restaurant. This is wonderful!" As I spoke, I nodded in complete agreement, feeling immense admiration for Qin Yimeng's wisdom and thoughtfulness.
Everyone nodded in approval, saying, "Qin Yimeng's idea is brilliant!" Before the words were even finished, everyone started working on it like a whirlwind.
For a moment, the only sounds at the dining table were the crisp clinking of bowls and chopsticks and the satisfied chewing sounds.
Before long, the delicious dishes that had just been served were completely devoured, leaving not a single grain of rice or a scrap of vegetable.
Everyone ate to their heart's content, their bellies round and full, their faces beaming with happy smiles.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they started chatting.
Some people praised Qin Yimeng's idea as brilliant, as it not only solved the employee scheduling problem but also ensured that hot meals were available at all times.
Some people say that this management style is very humane, giving employees more autonomy.
Qin Yimeng listened to everyone's praise with a smile, humbly saying that this was just a small idea of hers, and there were still many shortcomings that needed improvement.
The group walked out of the restaurant, which was filled with the aroma of delicious food, and arrived at the parking lot.
A brand-new minivan sat there quietly, radiating a captivating glow.
This car was just delivered a few days ago. Its spacious body design and exquisite interior all demonstrate its high-end, sophisticated, and classy nature.
This was a six-seater minivan. Han Heng skillfully opened the door and got into the driver's seat, while Si Kongfeng naturally sat in the passenger seat.
Ye Dongjun and Qin Yimeng quickly slipped into the back seats, while Yan Luo and I chose to sit in the relatively comfortable middle row.
As soon as he got into the car, Ye Dongjun was immediately drawn to the new vehicle. He was as excited as a child, his eyes sparkling with surprise: "Brother, is this the latest model? My goodness, this is a limited edition! You actually managed to snag one, that's amazing!"
He said with a face full of envy, his tone filled with amazement and admiration.
Faced with Ye Dongjun's praise, Han Heng remained calm and simply responded with a soft "hmm".
However, Sikong Feng couldn't help but smile, his lips curving upwards as he explained, "This is actually a company that my brother recently acquired. A subsidiary of this company just released this model. And the one we're riding in now is the top-of-the-line version. Not only that, it's also equipped with the intelligent system developed by your Ye family."
Hearing this, Ye Dongjun was even more surprised. He clapped his hands proudly and said, "Wow, they even installed my system! Big brother has great taste! Little Lele, quickly press this button and try it out." As he spoke, he pointed to a small and exquisite button.
Curious, I pressed the button as he instructed, and instantly, the seat began to vibrate gently; it turned out the massage function had been activated.
Immediately afterwards, a warm sensation came from the back of the chair; the heating function had been turned on.
At the same time, melodious music slowly began to play, as if one were in a small concert.
What's even more amazing is that as a gentle breeze brushed against my face, I discovered that it also has the function of simulating various types of wind.
Ye Dongjun continued enthusiastically, "By the way, you can also call out 'Xiao Ye' to chat with you and relieve your boredom. Moreover, this intelligent system is very powerful and can set all sorts of interesting personas, such as a gentle and lovely young lady, or a humorous and witty uncle, etc., which will definitely bring a lot of fun to your journey."
"Xiao Ye, play some relaxing music," I tried calling out.
"Okay, I've played some relaxing music for you." A clear and melodious female voice came from beside me.
Ye Dongjun leaned closer, grinning, and said, "How was it? Wasn't it great?"
I nodded, a satisfied smile spreading across my face. Han Heng saw my smile in the rearview mirror and smiled slightly in return, then continued to concentrate on driving.
"I won't use the other functions either. There are too many to remember them all. I'll study them thoroughly next time," Ye Dongjun muttered from behind.
