Universe Infinite Canteen

"Then, do you still need someone in the kitchen? I can...can clean." Hou Yihan didn't give up yet.

"The kitchen is not recruiting people." Ma Lu shook his head.

The back kitchen is the most important place in the infinite cafeteria in the entire universe. There are Valkina people working in it. On weekdays, only Ma Lu and Ma Youyou can go there. Not even He Xiaoqian can go in, let alone Hou Yihan.

"Oh." Hou Yihan was very disappointed when he heard this. He sniffed hard twice, as if he wanted to smell what delicious food the restaurant would make today.

Seeing how greedy she was, Malu thought for a while and said, "There is indeed not much shortage of people in the front office and the kitchen, but if you really want to work, there are still some positions..."

"What position?" Hou Yihan became interested again.

"Be my life assistant."

Upon hearing this, the girl took two steps back, hugged her chest, and looked wary.

"What are you thinking about? I just have too many things at hand, and I still have to look after the store. I need someone to help me run errands. You can come back for a staff meal at meal time," Ma Lu said.

Hou Yihan was relieved after hearing what he said, "Boss, what do you want me to do?"

"I plan to move in the near future and have looked for a few apartments, but it would be a waste of time to look at them one by one. Please help me make a few trips.

"I'll send you the phone numbers and WeChat messages of the agencies. When you go there, you can help me take some photos to see how the occupancy rate of the community is. If the surrounding supporting facilities are inconvenient."

"Okay boss." Hou Yihan got the contact information and was about to leave, but was called back by Ma Lu, "Wait a minute, the salary hasn't been negotiated yet, why are you in a hurry."

Hou Yihan scratched his head and didn't hide it anymore, "I'm just here for the food. As for the money, boss, you can give it to me."

Ma Lu thought for a moment, "The students who worked part-time in my store before were paid 50 an hour. If you have to run outside, including transportation expenses, it would be 70 an hour. If the work is done well, I will give you a red envelope as a bonus." Yes, how about it.”

"No problem." Hou Yihan said happily, "I like wandering around the most. When I have nothing to do, I usually run out and look for food."

Seeing the girl running out the door in a hurry again, Malu stopped her again, "Oh, oh, oh, don't worry, it's already dinner time. You should finish your meal before going out."

"Okay, okay." When Hou Yihan heard this, he immediately stopped and stood there expectantly.

Staff meals often differ from what's on the weekly menu.

What you eat mainly depends on which ingredients are more abundant in the tabletop farm recently, but since they are all produced by Lao Wang, you don’t have to worry about the quality.

And because Malu himself has to eat, there will be no mistreatment of employees and the tragedy of eating the same thing for several days. Basically, they will change the pattern every day.

For example, what we had tonight was the chef's roasted lamb tripe rice. This dish was cooked using the stomach of the scythe.

According to Lao Wang, it was first invented by a clan of Sand Lizard people.

The desert where these Shaxi people live is full of all kinds of dangers, and there is no way to make a fire for cooking. So after hunting the sickle-horned eland, they take out its stomach pouch, clean it to make a container, and then put other ingredients into it. Stuff it in with the seasonings.

Find a piece of sandy land exposed to direct sunlight at noon when the sun is at its strongest, bury the sheep's belly in it, wait for an hour, and the geothermal heat will cook the food in the sheep's stomach, and then you can dig it out and eat it.

Lao Wang improved this dish to a certain extent on the original basis and turned it into the Chef's Lamb Tripe Grilled Rice.

The main difficulty was simulating the heating of the lamb tripe by geothermal heat, which is difficult to accomplish with modern ovens. It took Lao Wang several attempts before he found the right kitchen utensils to cook this dish.

Unfortunately, the cooking process was still too complicated. In addition, Malu was addicted to medicinal food during this period, so he did not add this dish to the menu.

However, it is precisely because of this that Hou Yihan becomes even more excited when he eats it.

Although the high unit prices after Malu opened the store put her off, as a big fan of Universe Infinite Canteen, she still paid attention to every move of the restaurant.

She knew every week's new dish by heart, so she knew it wasn't on the menu.

Is the staff meal actually a rare hidden version?

Hou Yihan couldn't wait to fill a bowl, then handed it to Malu first and said respectfully, "Boss, please."

"Ah, we are all our own people, there is no need to be so open to outsiders," Ma Lu took the bowl with a smile.

"Xiao Hou, it's not good for you to be like this. It will put a lot of pressure on others. Besides, if you run far away and can't come back in time for dinner, won't there be no one to serve me food?"

"Don't worry, boss, no matter how far away I am, I will definitely come back for dinner!" Hou Yihan said firmly.

He Xiaoqian on the side also put down her chopsticks when she heard this, "Boss, do you need someone to help you serve the rice? If Xiao Hou is not here, I can help you serve it. Well, I might as well help you serve it from now on."

"Hey, that's so embarrassing." Malu said this, but his mouth was already twisted with happiness.

Although capitalism is corrupt, it also has its merits.

Ma Youyou hesitated to speak, but finally decided to bury her head in the food.

At this time, Hou Yihan's heart was completely focused on the chef's lamb belly roasted rice. She was going to serve rice to others, but He Xiaoqian moved faster and had already brought her bowl over. She also filled a bowl full of it.

Hou Yihan quickly thanked him, took the bowl, smelled the aroma that hit his face, couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately started to eat.

The taste did not disappoint her. The first bite made her feel the unique burning breath of the desert. Each grain of rice seemed like a small sun, containing amazing heat.

But strangely, it did not feel dry after eating, as if the sheep stomach locked the moisture in it. And unlike ordinary electric rice cookers that only have the bottom of the pot for heating, after the sheep stomach was buried in the ground, there were heat sources on all sides, and the heating was very even. The meaty aroma was soaked into the rice and side dishes.

Hou Yihan finished a bowl in less than three minutes, then looked at Malu and raised his hand and said, "Boss, can I eat more?"

"Of course, since you work in the store, you must have enough food." Malu said.

So Hou Yihan happily served herself another bowl. She ate two and a half bowls in one breath before putting down her chopsticks. In the end, she didn't even dare to drink water. She was holding the wall when she went out.

After she left, He Xiaoqian asked Ma Lu in a low voice, "Is Xiao Hou's family not well off?"

"Oh, that shouldn't be the case. She runs around everywhere every day, and it doesn't look like her family is poor." Ma Lu said, "Next time I'll ask her when she comes back. If her conditions are really bad, I can give her more bonuses."
