The dishes I cook are invincible and delicious [System]

"Two taels, ten taels... plus the 500 taels of bank notes, the total is 540 taels. Not bad, not one cent less."

Zhang Shusheng counted the broken silver and couldn't help but click his tongue, "My God, I've never seen so much money."

"You'll see more in the future."

Yang Yuan spoke lightly, then waved to Shusheng Zhang.

The other party quickly understood, knowing that he and the shopkeeper had something to talk about, stuck out his tongue, and carried his ancient books to the back of the yard to review.

As soon as Zhang Shusheng left, the atmosphere between the two became relaxed and harmonious in an instant.

Song Ruan sat behind the counter to check today's accounts, Yang Yuan moved a stool over by himself, leaned against Song Ruan's side, stretched out his hand to squeeze his shoulders obediently, and asked in a whisper, "Tired?" Right? I heard Brother Zhang say that you have been busy since noon until I came back. Does your shoulder hurt? I can help you squeeze it. Or we can hire more cooks tomorrow, and you will be alone. Not to mention the tiredness of cooking, I’m still too busy. There are also handymen who need to hire more—”

His voice slowly died away from his lips.

"Is this your usual method?"

Song Ruan's face was calm, he turned sideways, stretched out a white hand to grab Yang Yuan's hand on his shoulder, "Hinted repeatedly, and made a suggestion that the other party can only answer yes or no, so as to change the subject , achieve your goal?"

"..."

With deep eyes, Yang Yuan slowly withdrew his hand.Song Ruan's eyes were a little questioning, and there was no sense of blame in his tone, as if he was really serious about discussing this issue with him.

He shrugged, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you hate it?"

Song Ruan thought carefully for a moment, nodded first, then shook his head, and answered seriously, "If there is such a person who avoids answering the questions I really want to know when we are with me, and deliberately changes the topic , try to deceive me, then there is no doubt that whoever will hate it."

He paused, his eyes softened, "But I thought about it again, if I really want to know something, you will definitely know everything, and you will tell me everything. So if this is the case with you and me, I will I don't feel disgusted anymore."

Yang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then sighed softly, raised his hand to help Song Ruan comb the messy hair around his ear, and joked, "Well, I admit that the Huairou policy is very useful."

"Then I'll be more respectful than obedient."

Song Ruan showed a slightly smug smile, which was very shallow, and was quickly restrained by him. He took advantage of the situation and asked, "Why did you change the price on the menu? Why did you raise the price so high?"

Yang Yuan pondered for a moment, but did not directly answer his question, "Do you know how I got that pony back then?"

"That day I heard that you owed a lot of money, so I went to the casino for a while, trying to earn you some money back. Of course, you can also guess how I won."

Yang Yuan said calmly, "After I played more than a dozen games and walked around a few tables, an old man came to me. He said that he gambled thousands of taels in this casino, except for a small win at the beginning, Afterwards, he lost all games. He said he suspected that the casino had arranged thousands of money. He didn’t care about money, he just wanted to experience what it’s like to win, so he begged me to take him to gamble a few times. So I asked him, if What kind of reward can I get if I win?"

"That pony is his reward for you?" Song Ruan guessed.

"Yes, he said he could give me this pony. I laughed at him at the time, and wanted me to help him with such a rotten piece of wood."

Yang Yuandao, "The old man became impatient when he heard it. He said that the wood he carved had been presented as a tribute to the emperor, and he could prove his identity by simply asking someone. I thought about it, and it must be something that can be given to the emperor. It’s quite valuable, so I’ll bring it back for you.”

As he spoke, he thought of that Boss Wang just now, with a sneer of disdain on his face, "Heh, he dares to say something as small as 50 taels, and I'm not afraid that I'll cut his hair off."

"..."

Song Ruan was speechless, and didn't know for a while whether he should complain that he came back with a tribute-level wood carving, or whether he should complain that Yang Yuan squeezed Boss Wang because his price was too low.

His eyes fell on the wood carving in front of him, perhaps because he knew that it was made by the most famous contemporary wood carving master. Song Ruan looked at the pony with a look of respect in his eyes.

Song Ruan was troubled for a long time, but decided to put the pony back to its original position, on the most conspicuous shelf in the lobby.

After all, this thing sounds much more expensive than Yang Yuan.

he thinks.

That night, Song Ruan's left earlobe, which had been quiet for a long time, became hot without warning. At first, he thought he was on fire, so he made a cup of tea himself to remove the heat.

But after drinking a cup of bitter tea, the temperature didn't even drop by half an inch. Only then did he realize that it was a message from the system.

Song Ruan opened the panel and took a look, only to realize that he was only focused on getting the sugar bottle and plaque yesterday, and even forgot to look at the updated task bar.And the task bar located in the center of the panel did not disappoint him at all, it has undergone a complete and complete change.

The top line of the task bar has been slightly changed, and the relevant instructions for completing the rewards have been hidden.

[Main Quest] Congratulations on owning your own restaurant!But now there are too few staff, please send more staff as soon as possible. (task status: incomplete)

Seeing this, Song Ruan already understood.

The ultimate goal of this system should be this. The previous recipes and seasonings are the pavement for him to open a restaurant.It's just that the system has its own little thoughts, and it didn't give any prompts very schemingly. Song Ruan had a hunch that if he and his elder brother didn't propose to open a store, then the task on the panel must be to continue to collect popularity points.Until the end, the value that snowballed will also become the last straw that crushes the host.

He regained his senses and continued to look under the main quest, only to find that new content had been added.

[Hidden Mission] Congratulations on triggering the branch line - "Boss Wang's Sweet Talk" and witty seeing through Boss Wang's plot!Got a brand new plaque!

[Reward Description] The plaque painted with a layer of varnish is an upgraded version of the ordinary plaque, and there is a small probability of triggering the skill of "attracting bees and attracting butterflies" every day. (Plaque: Although I can't cook, account, or make tea, I'm still a good plaque.)

"..."

This reward description can be said to be very crude and clear.

To attract bees and butterflies, the ones you attract may be poisonous bees like Boss Wang, or beautiful and delicate butterflies.This explanation just explained the strange phenomenon why Boss Wang came to his store to ask for directions when his entire convoy passed by the western suburbs.

It can only be said that it is destined that Yang Yuan will win this pony, and Boss Wang is also destined to discover this wood carving. Take a sting.

Thinking of this, the last trace of guilt in Song Ruan's heart disappeared without a trace. After receiving the reward for the hidden mission, he couldn't help but start thinking about the main mission.

He has never had any experience in business, so there are still some areas that have not been considered, such as the problem of too few people and being too busy.

Firstly, Yang Yuan was only a nominal waiter, and it was impossible for Song Ruan to let him do the work of memorizing the names of dishes and serving and delivering them.However, if Zhang Shusheng were to work part-time as a waiter, it would be too talented and useless, not to mention that there are still ledgers in the counter, and someone has to watch them all the time.

Handymen are fine. Young and middle-aged laborers in the capital are still easy to find. If you find it troublesome, you can send a few servants from home.It's just that the number of cooks stumped Song Ruan.

After all, his restaurant is different from other places, mainly relying on his own craftsmanship, but the benefits given by this system can only be enjoyed by Song Ruan.

The other dishes are okay, after all, there are salt, oil, etc. issued by the system. With these condiments, the taste will not be bad no matter what.But classic dishes like braised pork and lotus seed paste buns can only be prepared by himself.

After thinking about it, he decided to recruit two chefs with good cooking skills, and re-edit the menu and divide it into two price points.The low-price area is prepared by the chefs, with systematic seasoning to assist the taste; while the high-priced area is prepared by him himself, and the main dishes above are his specialty dishes, taking the high-end route.

Song Ruan is a very active person, and he does what he says without ambiguity. On the second day, he put up a sign for temporary closure, and then ran around, first recruiting two people, one waiter and one handyman; After thinking about it for a long time, I selected two private chefs with good food taste, and agreed to start working immediately.

During this period of time, he also specially went to other big restaurants to investigate. Although there are dozens of staff in the big restaurant, the most basic configuration is just such a few people, not to mention that Song Ruan's shop is small, so there is no need Too many tricks.

When the chefs and handymen are on duty, and Song Ruan also registers their names and other information, it stands to reason that the conditions of the task should be considered to have been met up to now.But when he opened the panel again, the prompt above still showed 'unfinished'.

This situation lasted for several days, and Song Ruan had to start to wonder if he recruited too few people to meet the satisfaction of the system.

He thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't come up with any idea, so he planned to go to Yang Yuan to discuss it.

Song Ruan didn't find anyone in the front hall, so he made a detour to the back door, wanting to see if Yang Yuan was eating peanut candy in the kitchen. As soon as he stepped into the yard, he heard a faint voice floating in his ears. middle.

"You said that this store has been open for several days. Is there any business?"

A man with a rough voice squatted in the kitchen depressedly and said.

Song Ruan could tell that this was the cook he had just recruited a while ago, tall, thin, and very experienced.

Immediately afterwards, another voice rang out, "The place is a bit out of the way, and it's normal that there are few people."

This is another cook.

Song Ruan had a little impression of him. He was slightly fat and not tall. When he came, he was laughed at by Yang Yuan like a ball.

"Hey, that young master Song is really a young master who knows how to yell, he doesn't even use his brain, can he have business here?" The tall and thin man spoke vaguely, as if he was eating something, "I've been idle in this poor place for several days. Except for us to eat by ourselves, I haven't burned this stove."

"There will be business sooner or later, what are you worrying about?"

The little chubby chef said slowly, "Also, don't keep stealing the pork belly from the store. If you take it again, be careful and I will tell the shopkeeper."

"..."

Song Ruan narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his right hand and gently stroked the bead string on his left wrist.

Before the tall and thin cook could speak, a new servant suddenly ran over from the front hall. His eyes lit up when he saw Song Ruan, and he howled loudly, "Boss! We're here for business!"

Before he finished speaking, Song Ruan heard the plate fall to the floor in the kitchen with an extremely crisp and clear 'snap'.
