my boyfriend is a chef

Chapter 53 Small gathering

Sun Youchen pinned the advertisement of the online shop to the top of Weibo, and since that day, the orders have not been interrupted, there are at least a few orders, and sometimes dozens of orders.

The first batch of netizens who ordered the product received comments and feedback, saying that the taste was unexpectedly good and very pleasantly surprised. People who often eat hot pot also said that the taste is very authentic. Some began to repurchase, and some recommended friends to buy, and some Netizens who are watching have also joined the ranks of buying.The business of the online store has gradually improved, and there are at least dozens of orders every day.

Just relying on the help of Sun Youchen and his roommates may not be able to take care of it. After all, there is no way to reply to customers during class time. Sun Youchen seized the time to hire a customer service.The sophomore class is the heaviest, and Sun Youchen is so busy that he spins like a spinning top, running back and forth between the school, the skewer shop and the processing workshop every day, even finding time to eat and go to the toilet.

When Xi Chuan found out, his heart ached and he wished he could fly back to help him. He planned to take advantage of the off-season vacation in March to come back, but the restaurant took over several banquets, and he was responsible for several dishes ordered by the guests, so he couldn’t leave I can only postpone my plan to come back.After much deliberation, he finally suggested that Sun Youchen hire another waiter for the Chuan Chuan shop, and let Xiao Shuai, Liao Wenke and Zhu Xiaohui be in charge of the Chuan Chuan shop's kitchen. go.The salary of the newly recruited waiter was paid by Sun Youchen. Although he would earn a few thousand yuan less a month, he was much more relaxed.

Sun Youchen thought about Xi Chuan's proposal carefully, and if he didn't go to the store, it wouldn't hinder the normal operation of the store, but if he didn't go, all the kitchen tasks would fall on Xiao Shuai and the three of them. I'm afraid they would be dissatisfied, Although there is an extra waiter, the task of Zhu Xiaohui who is in charge of frying the bottom material has not been relieved at all.Sun Youchen also thought of another way, instead of recruiting others, he took 3000 yuan from his own profit and distributed it to the three people in charge of the kitchen. He would come to help when he was free, because before Xi Chuan was around , there are only four employees in the store, and they can still be busy with a little hard work. After all, it is not yet the peak season of autumn and winter.

He shared his thoughts with Xi Chuan, and Xi Chuan said, "You explain both options clearly to them, and they will decide which one they want to choose."

"it is good."

Sun Youchen found an opportunity to talk about it with the three of them, and let them make their own decisions.Sun Youchen thought they had to think about it, but unexpectedly gave a reply soon. They were willing to choose the second option, with more money, and they thought they could handle it.Sun Youchen was relieved. As for the distribution method of 3000 yuan, because the pickled vegetables were made by two people, the workload was less than that of frying hot pot ingredients. Xiao Shuai and Liao Wenke each took [-] yuan, and the remaining [-] yuan went to Zhu Xiaohui .Sun Youchen couldn't come to the store every day, so he chose Xiao Shuai, who has a more decisive personality, as the store manager, and the matter was resolved satisfactorily.

Sun Youchen no longer runs to the Chuan Chuan shop every day, and only finds time to help out on weekends.Sun Youchen has always known that being a boss can't do everything by himself, but this incident taught him how to let go. Only in this way can he not make himself exhausted.Don't worry about the Chuan Chuan shop, Sun Youchen has more energy to manage the online shop. He spent a lot of time researching the online shops of his peers. After investigation, he decided to make canned sesame oil. The sesame oil in the Chuan Chuan shop is made by Xi Chuan prepared it to blend, but now it is made according to his recipe. Usually it is prepared and put in a big bucket. When guests come, they will pack a few bowls.The sesame oil used in the larger hot pot restaurants in Rongcheng is all canned, which is more hygienic and clean, and has a longer shelf life. Sun Youchen has long wanted to get it, so he took this opportunity to get it quickly.With canned blending oil, it can also reduce the burden on the kitchen and waiters.

Sun Youchen wanted to do it. He found a food factory in his spare time, negotiated the terms of cooperation, and then signed a commission contract, providing the formula and raw materials to entrust the other party to process sesame oil for him.As for the design of the canned sesame oil box, Sun Youchen personally designed it. After studying art design for two years, such a small matter is not difficult for him.Half a month later, Sun Chuan Chuan sesame oil was officially launched. The employees of the Chuan Chuan store found that the sesame oil had been changed from bulk to canned, and a new product was added to the online store.Foreigners may not feel the importance of the oil dish when eating hot pot, but those who have eaten authentic Sichuan-style hot pot in Sichuan and Chongqing know that the oil dish is the finishing touch. A good oil dish will add a lot to the hot pot meal .So all the gourmets know that sesame oil is indispensable when eating hot pot. After the sesame oil was put on the shelves, the response was quite good.

There are more products in the store, and the business will naturally be better. A customer service is a bit too busy, and Sun Youchen has to help.He has no plans to recruit new customer service at present, the weather is getting hotter, and the business of the online store will not be as good as before. After all, in summer, the number of people eating hot pot will drop sharply, and the outsiders are not like the people in Sichuan and Chongqing I love hot pot all year round. I think eating hot pot in summer will make me angry, and in hot weather, I wish I could keep it in the refrigerator. Who is in the mood to eat hot pot?

Fortunately, Xi Yuan has passed the postgraduate re-examination, and now she is a relatively free one. She will find time to help take orders and relieve the pressure of customer service.Xi Yuan was successfully admitted to a graduate school in a college in Nanjing this year, and she will soon be able to stay and fly with her boyfriend. A happy life is ahead. The only thing to do now is to finish the project, so I can spare time to take care of it online store.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the business of the online store is really cooling down, but the business of the Chuan Chuan store is not affected. After all, for the locals, any season is a good time to eat hot pot, even if the temperature is [-] degrees. error.The locals love to eat it, and foreigners come to Rongcheng to travel and do as the Romans do. Of course, they have to eat hot pot in the heat.

Summer vacation is the peak season for tourism, so the business of the Chuan Chuan shop is naturally not bad. After all, Rongcheng is a tourist destination famous for its food, and people flock here every year to taste the food during the holidays.As an online celebrity shop, Sun Chuanchuan's business is so bad. Although the handsome chef in charge is gone, I heard that the little apprentice is also super handsome, so don't miss it.Therefore, the Chuan Chuan shop often has fans who come here admiringly. Sun Youchen naturally has to greet him with a smile, but every time he has to repeatedly tell the fans not to post his photos on the Internet.

Xi Chuan came back from vacation at the end of July. It's not that the restaurant's business is not good, but that there are fewer banquets in this season. According to traditional customs, Chinese people try to avoid the sixth and seventh months of the lunar calendar for weddings and ceremonies.Xi Chuan seldom rested, so he accumulated all his holidays, including annual leave, and took a total of ten days off to accompany Sun Youchen.

However, this time is not the best time for Xi Chuan to come back. Xi Yuan came back for the summer vacation and she was still helping in the store. Sun Youchen vacated his room for her and slept on the sofa by himself.When Xi Chuan came back, there was no room for them at home. Xiao Biesheng was newly married, especially after knowing the taste of the marrow, no one could bear to watch but not eat.So Xi Chuan didn't tell Xi Yuan immediately about Xi Chuan's return, but booked a room in the hotel and spent a passionate night with Sun Youchen in the hotel, which eased the pain of lovesickness a little.

Early the next morning, they set off to Lugu Lake to live the world of the two of them. This was what they had discussed long ago. Sun Youchen made an excuse that he had made an appointment with his classmates to go to collect music for a week. There were Xi Yuan and Zhao Yao in the store. Help, I should be able to handle it completely.

After getting into the car, Sun Youchen took off his hat and breathed a sigh of relief: "Why do you look like a thief."

Xi Chuan stretched out his hand and clasped his fingers tightly, and whispered in his ear: "After you graduate, we will tell everyone slowly, and now this is the only way to go."

Sun Youchen tilted his head and leaned on Xi Chuan's shoulder: "Well, I'll take a nap, I was exhausted last night." I was crazy for most of the night, if I hadn't got up early today to drive the car, I probably wouldn't be able to sleep all night , At this moment, the exhaustion of the body has not recovered yet.

Xi Chuan turned his head and leaned close to him: "Go to sleep." He also closed his eyes, and fell asleep together.

The journey to Lugu Lake is not short, especially in the second half. The road conditions are not as good as the expressway in the first half.After dark, they arrived at Lugu Lake. The owner of the inn drove to pick them up. The wooden inn was very poetic and warm, but they didn’t have much energy to appreciate it. They hugged each other and fell asleep.

Although it is also summer in Lugu Lake in July and August, the temperature is very low. Covered with a quilt, you can sleep peacefully. You have a good dream until you wake up the next day to the sound of chickens and birds.Xi Chuan got out of bed, opened the curtains, facing Lugu Lake, which was as clear as jasper, with Daishan and clear water, reflecting the clouds in the sky, it was like a fairyland on earth, he couldn't help turning his head and said to Sun Youchen: "You can see ?"

Sun Youchen struggled to sit up from the bed, took the pillow and put it behind his head, looked up and saw Lugu Lake from the low window: "I see, it's beautiful!" He had been to Lugu Lake before, but it was in autumn, It is not as rainy and cloudy as in summer, and the lake and sky are blue. In a general sense, it is more pleasant than the current scenery. However, in Sun Youchen's eyes, Lugu Lake is no different from before. After all, he came with him. , are the most important people in your life.

The two dressed neatly and went downstairs to find a small shop to have breakfast. They ate the local special food Mosuo Baba. Some wild vegetables picked from the lake were soaked in the water basin at the door.Xi Chuan thought it was a novelty that there was actually a flower with this name, and he didn't know what it was like to eat it.

Today's weather is not bad, cloudy, no rain, suitable for playing.The water in the lake is crystal clear, and you can see the oily water plants floating with the slight waves. It is the kind of watery flower that was soaked in the pot at the door of the store just now. It is still in bloom. The small white flowers are swaying on the water, like a shy and pure girl, It is completely different from its name.Sitting on the wooden fence, Xi Chuan looked around, and everything seemed to be in slow motion. Time, space, and the world seemed to have entered a different dimension. When people are here, their steps, thoughts, and even breathing will slow down. He turned his head and looked at Sun Youchen who was enjoying the breeze with his eyes closed, and a word came out in his heart: May the years be quiet and the world be safe.

He raised his hand to caress Sun Youchen's head, pinched his earlobe, Sun Youchen moved lightly in his hand like a cat, Xi Chuan wanted to hug him and kiss him, but he didn't dare to be too blatant in broad daylight.He reluctantly put down his hands: "Let's borrow a car from the boss to go around the lake."

"Okay." Sun Youchen opened his eyes, looked at him with crooked smiling eyes and clear eyes, as if the sparkling water waves of the entire Lugu Lake had been taken into his eyes.Xi Chuan was so addicted to it that he almost didn't want to leave, and wanted to drag him back to his room to do what he didn't have time to do last night.

But in the end, rationality prevailed over emotion. Rolling the sheets at night was okay, but swimming in the lake at night was not. The two borrowed an electric car and traveled around the lake along the road by the lake.On the way, I visited the Mosuo Folklore Museum. The tour guide Ajie saw that Xi Chuan was tall and handsome, so she encouraged him to climb Amei’s greenhouse. Xi Chuan belonged to him, how could he climb other people's greenhouses.

When he came out, Sun Youchen asked Xi Chuan: "Did you say that you made a mistake when you climbed the flower house? My sister's room didn't climb up, but I climbed into my elder brother's room?"

Xi Chuan raised his head and laughed loudly: "The brothers of the Mosuo tribe probably won't, but I can crawl into your room tonight."

Sun Youchen reached out and pinched Xi Chuan's waist: "Impure!"

"Don't you expect me to climb? I'm too lazy to climb the stairs, just climb the bed, hehe."

They also went on a pig trough boat and passed among a large area of ​​white poplar flowers. The grandmother rowing the boat strongly recommended their local specialty poplar flowers and small dried fish. Sun Youchen looked at her grandmother's wrinkled purple-red face and paid for it. Two packs of dried vegetables, but after landing, I saw Mosuo people near the pier also selling dried vegetables, the price was half cheaper than what he bought.

Sun Youchen: "..."

Xi Chuan looked at him with a smile: "Forget it, let's go, buy something happy."

Sun Youchen pouted: "It's a waste of my sympathy, I'm so happy." Who knows that the kind-hearted grandma is not simple.

"Maybe the ones you bought are particularly delicious and worth the money." Xi Chuan comforted him.

At noon, they ate local specialties in a local restaurant, water-based Yanghua tofu soup, steamed pork fat and crispy fried fish. Although the name of water-based Yanghua is strange, the taste is very fresh and delicious. The steamed pork fat looks fatty, but it is actually mellow Refreshing, not greasy, the small fish is crispy and fragrant, and several dishes are impressive.When Xi Chuan was eating, he savored and smacked carefully, and Sun Youchen knew that he must be studying the recipe of this dish again when he saw how he was eating, and he never forgot his work wherever he went.

Lugu Lake is a place suitable for being in a daze. When you come here, you don’t need to do anything else, you don’t need to move your mind. It is suitable for sitting by the lake and walking aimlessly.For Xi Chuan and Sun Youchen, this is a paradise where no one disturbs them, they can enjoy the world of two to their heart's content, they can do things upside down, they are not afraid of meeting acquaintances, and they don't have to care about other people's strange eyes.Although the room is an ordinary double room, in fact there is a bed that has never been used at all. When I was hungry, I went downstairs to look for food, and spent the rest of the time in bed. Here, Xi Chuan and Sun Youchen have absolutely no taboos, playing tricks one after another.

Of course, they don't do it all the time. Sun Youchen will also take out his portfolio to draw pictures, landscapes, waters, and people, asking Xi Chuan to act as a model for him, depicting his lover in various poses.

The happy time is always short. They stayed in Lugu Lake for three days and four nights before returning to Rongcheng.Only then did Xi Chuan tell his sister that he was back, but first he went back to his hometown to see his grandma.Sun Youchen waited for Xi Chuan to come back from his hometown before bubbling, otherwise the interview was too short to make people suspicious.

Xi Chuan stayed in Rongcheng for another two days, because his family had no place to live, so he still lived in the hotel, but Sun Youchen was embarrassed to go to the hotel to live with him again, so he came back to sleep on the sofa, but Xi Yuan said: "Chen Chen, why don't you?" Why don't you live with my brother? Anyway, the room fee is paid, and there is no extra charge for staying one more person."

Hearing these words, cold sweat broke out on Sun Youchen's back. Could it be that Xi Yuan discovered his adultery with Xi Chuan?
