Rebirth of the Guardian Cute Baby

It was another busy day. The number of customers entering the restaurant exceeded expectations several times. Customers without tables were queuing outside to take away their food.

Zhen Jing was very busy, and the two aunts who helped her were also very fast. They divided the work and cooperated tacitly, one was responsible for sorting the dishes, and the other focused on washing the dishes and clearing the table. Their movements were quick and swift, as if they were in perfect harmony with Zhen Jing, and their cooperation was seamless. They were simply a perfect match made in heaven.

Zhen Jing secretly felt lucky that these two ladies and customers were also sent by God. What Da Gu gave her was not the secret of the God of Cooking, but the possession of the God of Cooking. She couldn't help but want to laugh wildly at the sky: "How can I be so lucky?"

As time went by, customers left one after another. Zhen Jing wiped her hands and finally got a break.

The two aunts were very happy, "Our business is so good, we can sell twice as much ingredients tomorrow!" Zhen Jing smiled and nodded, with a glimmer of confidence in her eyes. She imagined the future, when the restaurant would become more and more famous and customers would come in an endless stream.

At this time, a man in a suit and leather shoes walked into the restaurant. He was tall, outstanding in temperament, and had a gentle smile on his handsome face.

The man walked straight up to Zhen Jing and handed her a business card: "Hello, Miss Zhen. I am Lin Yu, the president of Lin's Business Group. I heard that your restaurant has delicious food, so I came here specially to taste it."

Zhen Jing took the business card with some surprise. This was a big client. If she could get his approval, it would be of great benefit to the development of the restaurant.

"Hello, Mr. Lin, welcome."

Zhen Jing hesitated and said, "It's just a coincidence that the tasting will have to wait until tomorrow. Today's ingredients are all sold out."

Lin Yu didn't expect to come at the wrong time. He smiled and said, "In that case, I'll order a lunch first. Do you have a delivery service? Please help deliver it to my office tomorrow."

"Yes, except for noodles, we provide delivery service for everything else. You can order a stir-fry set meal, and the shop will give you scallion pancakes for free."

“There are scallion pancakes!”

Lin Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this. He had loved eating scallion pancakes since he was a child, but the scallion pancakes in this city did not taste like the ones from his hometown.

"Okay, I want a nutritious meal with two meat dishes and two vegetables, a cup of soy milk, and a scallion pancake."

Zhen Jing observed Lin Yu's complexion and flashed this person's dietary preferences in her mind, and quickly tailored a menu for him. Computer equipment was not yet equipped, so she wrote the menu on a note paper in duplicate.

Lin Yu paid and signed, paying 168 yuan.

After completing the payment, he took the copied note menu and said with a smile: "You are also offering a 50% discount for lucky customers? It's quite innovative!"

Zhen Jing took a look and found that the sticky note paper was given to the lucky customer who was the pregnant woman just now. She did not use a pad when she copied it, so the lucky customers would be the ones using this bunch of paper later.

She replied with a smile: "Yes, yes, today we randomly selected a lucky customer, you are our lucky customer, 50% discount!"

"Thank you, I wish you a prosperous business." Lin Yu put away the receipt and said goodbye politely. After leaving, he called his brother and said, "I found the delicious noodle and kebab stall you mentioned. The owner has expanded from a street stall to a restaurant."

"How about it? Does it taste better if you eat it on the spot?"

"I didn't get to eat it on site. They were all sold out when I came. The boss said to wait until tomorrow. I made an appointment for delivery tomorrow. Do you want to come and eat with me?"

Xiao Lin said dissatisfiedly: "Brother, do you think I can go back tomorrow? You assigned me such a heavy task and didn't treat me as an intern at all!"

Lin Yu smiled and said, "Then I can only enjoy it alone tomorrow. I hope this lunch will be as delicious as you described!"

As night falls and the lights come on, people who have been busy all day can finally sit down and enjoy a sumptuous dinner.

Zhen Jing's bistro does not offer breakfast service, but focuses on lunch and dinner.

She made a reasonable work schedule for the two aunties, asking them to work between 10 am and 2 pm and between 4 pm and 8 pm. In this way, the aunties only need to work eight hours a day, and with a salary of 20 yuan per hour, they can get 160 yuan a day. Moreover, the salary is settled on a daily basis, and there is an additional bonus at the end of the month. This flexible work arrangement not only meets the needs of customers, but also ensures the work efficiency and quality of life of employees.

The two ladies received their wages with happy smiles on their faces. They left work happily and expressed their gratitude to Zhen Jing. Zhen Jing smiled and said goodbye to them, feeling very relieved.

Zhen Jing sat at the cashier counter, carefully calculating the day's revenue. She was surprised to find that today's turnover was as high as 50,000 yuan! This was a number she had never thought of. She couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that a small restaurant can make so much money!"

“Is the price I set a bit high?”

Zhen Jing asked Cheng Haoran and Zhen Yu.

Cheng Haoran said, "It's not expensive! So many people come here to eat and no one complains, which means the price is definitely reasonable."

"Good wine needs no bush, so the price of a chef's dish can't be too low, because there are still various costs and rent to be deducted!"

Zhen Jing felt that the money earned from selling for such a short period of time was a bit too little.

All in all, she still lacks experience in running a restaurant, so she was still very tired today.

After dinner, Zhen Jing took her daughter home. She planned to hire two more people. Cheng Haoran’s parents had never come to see the child, nor had they contacted her. It was impossible that they planned to let the child work in the restaurant. She might have to face a wave of attacks from this couple in the future.

It's best to fix this first.

Zhen Jing thought of the pregnant woman who took her mother-in-law and child to the restaurant for dinner. She silently recited a few mantras to dream about the future. She lightly flicked her fingers in the darkness of the void. With a "pop", a point of starlight suddenly lit up and disappeared.

Zhen Jing was vaguely thinking that maybe she was a deity a long time ago, otherwise how could she have learned so many mysterious things without any teacher? She was so sleepy that she fell asleep, and when she woke up it was already six o'clock the next morning.

Zhen Yu also woke up. After confirming the source of goods, the other party would deliver the dishes to the restaurant every day, so there was no need to go to the vegetable market to buy them. After the mother and daughter finished washing up, Zhen Jing took Zhen Yu directly to the restaurant and had breakfast there.

Zhen Yu clapped her hands and said, "I can eat in the restaurant every day from now on. I'm so happy."

Zhen Jing plans to make Tremella and egg custard and leek dumplings.

She asked Zhen Yu: "Would it be nice to cook with mom?"

Zhen Yu shook her head: "I don't want to learn how to cook. I want to be a big star when I grow up. I want to appear on TV every day like Sister Lingdang! I can also be the spokesperson for our restaurant!"

Children know so much.

Zhen Jing asked: "Who is Sister Lingdang?"

Zhen Yu said in a baby voice: "She's a big star! She's my idol! Doesn't mom know Sister Lingdang?"

"I haven't noticed that mom doesn't chase stars!"

Zhen Jing poured the snow-white flour into a clean basin, "Why do you like being a star?"

“Because stars are beautiful.”

Everyone loves beauty. Zhen Yu’s understanding of beauty is that being a star is beautiful. It’s so simple and cute.

Zhen Jing skillfully picked up the bowl and poured a small amount of cold water into it. Then, she picked up the chopsticks and quickly mixed the water and flour together, stirring continuously. As time went by, the water and flour gradually merged into one, forming small pieces of flocs.

At this time, Zhen Jing put down her chopsticks and began to knead the dough. Her technique was skillful and powerful, as if she had done this countless times. Each time she kneaded, the dough became softer and more elastic.

Cheng Haoran stared at Zhen Jing kneading the dough without blinking, and seemed a little curious. Zhen Jing didn't intend to let Cheng Haoran learn how to cook, so she asked him if there was anything fun and interesting in school.

They look like a real mother and son.

Soon a smooth dough is ready!

While chatting, Cheng Haoran took the initiative to help wash the leeks.

Zhen Jing cut the washed chives into rice-sized pieces. Then she took out a bowl, beat a few eggs into it, stirred them evenly, and poured them into the hot pan and stir-fried them.

Soon, the golden scrambled eggs came out of the pan.

She mixed the eggs and leeks together, added appropriate amounts of salt, light soy sauce, sesame oil and other seasonings, and stirred thoroughly.

After everything was ready, Zhen Jing began to make chive dumplings. She first rolled the dough into long thin strips, then cut them into small pieces, and then rolled them into thin round dough sheets with a rolling pin.

Then, she put the egg and leek filling in the middle of the dough, pinched it like dumplings, and finally pressed it gently into a flat shape. A delicious leek box was ready.

Cheng Haoran and Zhen Yu, who didn't plan to learn how to cook, also made one each.

Zhen Jing put the leek dumplings into the preheated electric baking pan and baked them for about a minute, and the fresh and tender leek filling wafted out. The freshly-cooked leek dumplings exuded an enticing aroma, with a crispy skin and delicious fillings.

Zhen Yu usually doesn’t like eating leeks, but the leek dumplings made by Zhen Jing were so delicious that she couldn’t resist. She ate all of them without leaving any.

Cheng Haoran ate two.

Zhen Jing ate one.

Each person had a bowl of Tremella and egg custard.

Breakfast was served in a happy atmosphere.

Around 9:30, the two aunts also arrived at the store and started their respective jobs. Zhen Jing wrote a recruitment notice and posted it at the entrance of the restaurant. She planned to recruit a chef and a store manager so that she wouldn't have to work so hard.

It was just past eleven o'clock when the pregnant woman named Xiaowen came to the restaurant with the old lady and two children.

The pregnant woman and the old lady both looked unsatisfactory. The old lady looked listless, as if she had not slept well.

The pregnant woman asked embarrassedly:

"Boss, can we serve the food now?"

"Okay, you guys order first and I'll prepare it for you right away."

The old lady took out her 50% discount coupon and put it on the counter and said, "Do you have the menu prices? Take it out so I can see. Without the prices clearly marked, I don't know if you are giving me a 50% discount!"

Cheng Haoran took out the menu and handed it to the old lady for her to choose.

The old lady looked at it critically and muttered something, "Stir-fried rice cake with eggs and green peppers, noodles with mushrooms and tomatoes, chicken noodle soup, spinach in garlic sauce, shrimp and tofu, dumplings with four fillings, scallion pancakes, beef patties, and lily and lotus seed egg drop soup. These are nutritious for breakfast, but it's a bit of a waste to use the 50% off coupon!"

However, it is not appropriate to eat the spicy crucian carp, sweet and sour pork, sauce-flavored spareribs, sweet and sour carp, braised hairtail, and clear-boiled lamb for breakfast.

She had nightmares all night and didn't sleep well. In the morning, the two children woke up early and played and fought in the house, giving her a headache.

Today, the daughter-in-law was out of her mind and stared at her while she was taking care of the child. She also found fault with her, saying that she did not do this well and that well, and that she did not look after the child carefully and let the child run around.

She was so overwhelmed that she didn't want to cook anymore and said she would just go to the restaurant to eat. She didn't realize it was almost noon.

"Four bowls of dragon beard noodles in chicken soup, one bowl of braised hairtail fish, and one bowl of stir-fried lamb with green onions." After the old lady ordered the food, she staggered back to the table and sat down and said to her daughter-in-law, "How do you think I ordered? Is it a good deal?"

The pregnant woman was distracted and looked up when she heard the words.

"Ah, what did you order?"

The old lady rolled her eyes.

"Are you thinking about how to get rid of me?"

"How could that be, Mom? I just asked you to be more careful when you look after the children next time and not go fishing by the river. It's not safe to take children to that kind of place, not to mention you have two children with you."

The old lady said, "If you don't like me, I will go back to my hometown tomorrow and won't babysit your children anymore! I haven't earned a penny, and you're still causing trouble for me!"

The pregnant woman didn't speak.

The old lady didn't hear her daughter-in-law's response, so she turned to her eldest grandson and asked, "Do you want grandma to leave?"

The boy was happily playing with a nine-ring puzzle, and he didn't even raise his head: "Grandma, let's go. I'll ask my mom to hire a young aunt to take care of me."

"Huh! Can a young aunt love you as much as your own grandmother?"

The boy said without even raising his head: "Grandma is taking care of me. I have to pour water for her, change my sister's diapers, and play with her. The young aunt is in better health than grandma, so she doesn't need my help!"

The pregnant woman's expression became even worse when she heard this.

The old lady angrily rebuked her grandson.

"Oh, kid, isn't grandma's legs in bad condition? Grandma's legs are so tired from taking care of you when you were a kid. It's not right for you to help grandma with some work. An An is still your sister!"

At this time, noodles and dishes were served one after another, and the family stopped talking and started eating.

Delicious food can solve all worries. The pregnant woman and the old lady temporarily forgot about the unpleasantness just now. The boy also stopped playing, and the four of them buried their heads in eating noodles.

The old lady took a few bites before she realized, "Aren't today's noodles hand-rolled? They are so thin, they must be ramen noodles. The boss's cooking skills are really good!"

Zhen Jing packed the lunch that Lin Yu wanted. When she heard this, she looked at the family who were eating. She saw a cloud of mist appear above their heads. Various images flashed quickly in the mist and then turned into water drops and fell down. When it was about to reach the plates of several people, it disappeared.

Zhen Jing saw that the disaster of losing her child that the pregnant woman was about to face was averted.

Last night, Zhen Jing conveyed future events to the dreams of the mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and the little boy through a 50% discount note. The three of them were paying careful attention subconsciously.

The little boy didn't dare to run around for a long time because of a dream about being abducted. Although the mother-in-law liked fishing, what happened in the dream was too terrifying, and she didn't dare to gamble with the future of her son's family. She took better care of the child and dared not take the child to the water again, basically eliminating all dangers.

The dream was so horrible that the pregnant woman was very nervous after she woke up. She told her husband about the dream and threatened to divorce him, forcing him to change his job because he was on a business trip for a long time.

Zhen Jing pursed her lips and smiled, as if she had returned to the past. She asked the system in her mind: "Da Gu, does this count as a merit? I protected three children and prevented them from losing their mother. Please put it in the task of protecting cute babies. There are twelve of them now!"

Da Gu actually responded quickly, making a buzzing sound: "Host, you got up in a hurry this morning and didn't notice that there was a dead mosquito lying next to your pillow?"

"No! What's wrong with the mosquito?"

"Mosquito left a suicide note to his family, saying: Sister, I struggled all night but couldn't pierce her skin, and finally died of exhaustion! Please don't come over here!"

Zhen Jing touched her face and said, "I'm not thick-skinned! I just sprayed some Liushen floral water last night. Nowadays, even mosquitoes can lie!"

Because there was no waiter and Cheng Haoran, a child laborer, could not be used to deliver the food, Zhen Jing could only take advantage of the time when there were not many customers to deliver the meal ordered by Lin Yu to the address left on the note.

The distance was very short, and she rode the tram to the downstairs of Lin's Group in five minutes. Just as she was about to enter the building, a car drove past her, and the window rolled down, revealing Lin Yu's face.

"Boss Zhen, thank you for your hard work." Lin Yu said with a smile.

"It's not hard. I hope you enjoy your meal." Zhen Jing handed the lunch box to Lin Yu, turned the electric bike and left quickly.

Lin Yu watched the tram disappear in the crowd and couldn't help but say, "How delicious can the cooking of such a fiery woman be? Could it be that she ordered a takeaway for me?"

But when he opened the lunch box and saw the yellow and fragrant scallion pancake, he immediately realized that this lunch set was the only one in the city.
