Chapter 303 What day is today?
As soon as they arrived, Liu and Zhu started cooking non-stop. Zhou Mingzhi brought the prepared dishes to the front hall and arranged them neatly.
Today's menu was posted on the wall, with three vegetarian dishes, two meat dishes and one soup.
In addition to these, there are some side dishes and cold dishes such as roast duck.
Although the dishes are not very rich, the advantage is that they are up and running first.
We will gradually add new dishes after everyone becomes proficient.
Because he wanted Lord Xue and other masters to keep them for dinner, Zhou Mingshu took Old Madam Zhou to invite them.
When Lord Xue knew the purpose of the visit, he immediately agreed.
"Mrs. Zhou, girl, you don't have to prepare any additional meals. Just give us what the workers eat. We want to try the new dishes with the workers."
"Okay, okay, adults, remember to come early."
Because the adults were also busy, after conveying her meaning, Mrs. Zhou stopped talking and took San Ya back home.
"Grandma, since the adults said they would eat with the workers, we don't need to make any more preparations. When we get back, we can just wash a few large plates and bring up the food."
"Yes, that's right. Let's go back quickly and see if there is anything else we can do."
When they arrived at the restaurant, they saw that the counter was already full of food.
The table in the kitchen was also full of food and was almost full.
Liu and Zhu sat on a bench nearby and chatted. They had been busy for most of the day and had no place to put the extra food.
"There's still half an hour left. When the bell outside rings, it means the workers will have to go home."
The workers’ meal tickets were issued when they registered. This is a dining benefit provided to them by the mine.
They will have to pay for it themselves later, and then they can come to the restaurant to buy meal tickets.
"Yes, we made so much and we're afraid we won't be able to sell it all. If it's not enough, we'll cook more later."
"This is the pattern. Let's take a break first."
The windows in the back kitchen are very large, and the mountain breeze can blow away the heat in the house, making it quite refreshing.
Zhou Mingshu looked everything over and found it was in good order.
On the other hand, Zhou Mingqi on the side looked a little sweaty.
"Where have you been? You're so hot."
"Hehe, I was bored, so I just went to the side and took a look. I didn't expect to pick up half a basket of mushrooms."
"Mushroom, you are really good. Did you wash it? We can cook and eat it later."
"Yeah, I'm already washing it. I think it's almost time for dinner, so I came here to practice."
The meal tickets will be collected soon, it’s exciting just thinking about it.
"Haha, okay. Just don't count wrong when the time comes."
"That's what I'm worried about, so I have to practice in advance."
The two little girls laughed and played in the front hall for a while, and then the bell rang outside.
Not long after, voices were heard outside the cafeteria.
Everyone was very curious about the structure of the cafeteria and the way of ordering food. Everyone was looking around inside, feeling it was really new.
They also listened to the manager's instructions on how to choose the food. They took the trays in front of the fence and walked along the fence. First there was rice, then various vegetarian dishes, then meat dishes, cold dishes, and finally side dishes and soup.
Just take whatever you want to eat and then walk to the end to pay.
There are two stalls collecting money, one is Zhou Mingshu and the other is Zhou Mingqi.
Looking at the tray in front of him, Zhou Mingqi carefully counted, "One white ticket, two green tickets, and one red ticket."
When the man saw that the girl's calculation was the same as his, he took out the meal ticket he had prepared early in the morning.
Then he took the tray to the front hall, found a seat and sat down to enjoy his meal.
Going through the whole process made me feel very comfortable.
For those who have been hungry for most of the day, it is simply wonderful to be able to eat as soon as they arrive at the place without having to wait at all.
As soon as the food entered their mouths, everyone felt even more satisfied.
This food tastes really good!
It’s even more delicious than the food at home.
I accidentally mixed the vegetable juice in the dish with my rice and ate it.
"Brother, what are the words written on that table? I am a country bumpkin and I can't read. Can you tell me?"
"Free refills. It says free refills."
The person next to him was stunned and his eyes suddenly widened.
"What does free refill mean? Doesn't that mean we can eat this meal for free?"
"Yes, yes, that's what I mean. The first bowl costs money, but the rest is free. And at this window, the side dishes are free."
"Oh, that's great. I'm not full yet. I'll get another bowl."
After the man served a bowl of rice, he went to get some pickles and ate it.
He ate too fast just now and finished all the prepared food.
More and more people came into the cafeteria, and everyone lined up in a long queue, but they were all looking forward to the food because they heard that there was roast duck.
Normally they were reluctant to buy one, but now they can finally eat it.
Lord Xue and several other adults walked over slowly, and smiled with satisfaction when they saw how orderly everyone was.
"Let's go in. The girl has reserved a private room for us on the second floor."
A few people looked around the cafeteria and then went upstairs.
Zhou Mingshu and the others were still busy, but she had already given instructions for serving the dishes.
Now that there is no shortage of firewood in the yard, Qi Xu, who is working as a waiter, is asked to serve the food.
The boy was happy to do these jobs.
The food on the counter was taken away by the workers from time to time. Zhou Mingzhi was busy back and forth, pushing the plates forward and sending the dishes from the back kitchen forward.
If any dish is missing, ask the kitchen to prepare it as soon as possible.
It’s just as San Ya said, it won’t work without him!
After all, it was the first day and there were not many workers in the mine.
Although everyone was busy, a large part of the fatigue came from psychological factors.
Seeing that everyone had almost finished eating, Mrs. Zhou put down the rice shovel in her hand, cleared two tables, and asked everyone to take their favorite dishes and eat.
"Everyone has been busy for most of the day. How do you feel? Are you tired?"
“It’s okay, it feels exciting!”
"That's right, I feel very excited too."
Seeing that the children didn’t complain of being tired, Old Mrs. Zhou also started laughing.
"Xiao Lian, Cui Fen, you guys cooked all these dishes. Your arms must be tired from shoveling all the time. Don't force yourself after dinner. Go to the back and take a nap. We'll do the rest."
"Got it, mom. We'll go there soon."
After eating for a while, Mrs. Zhou realized that she seemed to have missed something.
"No, I always feel like something is wrong, but I can't remember where it is."
After looking at the children in front of her again and again, the old lady slapped her thigh.
"It's over, it's over, Big Boss and Second Boss, don't you remember what day it is today?"
