Chapter 31 This is way too exaggerated!
"Hey, is this noodle dish meant for big eaters? Won't all these ingredients mix together and cause the flavors to mix?"
Seeing the smart cutlery machine on the table, Bai Mengran asked the system a question while pressing the [Chopsticks] button. A pair of fully disinfected and clean chopsticks slid into the bottom drawer.
The drawers are designed with a sloping top, making them easy to access.
The chopsticks are decorated with blue and white porcelain patterns, giving them a retro and elegant feel. The top is engraved with the words "Unforgettable Eatery," and they are still warm from being sterilized at high temperatures.
In the past, she was always worried about the hygiene of the dishes and chopsticks when she went to restaurants, since many restaurants wash their own dishes in the kitchen, and whether they are washed properly depends entirely on the restaurant owner's conscience.
Since various similar issues were exposed on Douyin, Bai Mengran has made it a habit to rinse her tableware with boiling water before eating out, and she tries to bring her own tableware whenever possible.
So when she saw that the system had even considered these details, she was quite surprised. The system had given her so many surprises!
【…Host, are you…listening to me?】
The system was currently enthusiastically explaining the amazing features of the [God of Cookery System] in response to her question.
Despite the variety of ingredients, the master chef can maintain the best flavor of each ingredient after stir-frying or stewing, without mixing the flavors together.
This "Family Reunion" noodle soup is one of the signature dishes of the "Master Chef System".
Each dish has its own unique flavor, with a rich broth made from dozens of fresh ingredients.
With its rich ingredients and smooth soup noodles, it's perfect for diners who want to try a variety of flavors or for families to enjoy together.
It was giving a passionate introduction when it realized that its host was completely ignoring it, staring blankly at it, seemingly lost in thought.
"...Um, what did you just say? Can you say it again?" Bai Mengran had been distracted by the cutlery machine and hadn't listened carefully to the system's introduction, so she spoke up a little apologetically.
She's the kind of person who can't do two things at once; when she's thinking about something, she can't listen to anything else.
[Hmph, I told you the flavors wouldn't mix! If you can't finish it, you can share it with someone! ＜(｀^′)＞]
The system instantly became arrogant, indicating its dissatisfaction.
Bai Mengran knew that it was a little upset because it hadn't heard it speak, so she acted cute and praised the system for being so considerate.
He then followed up with a question, "System, why do I get the feeling that you really admire the [Master Chef System]? Please tell us your story?"
[...Host, this is your hallucination.]
It wouldn't tell its host that the [God of Cookery System] has been at the top of the rankings for years. After all, food is the most important thing for people, and delicious food is popular everywhere, especially food made by a God of Cookery.
It has always regarded the [Master Chef System] as its idol and goal, not seeking to surpass it, but only to be second.
Of course, it wouldn't tell its host that when it was a newbie system being bullied, the [Master Chef System] had helped it...
……
[Host, if you don't eat soon, the noodles will get cold...]
The system couldn't help but issue a reminder.
"Oh right! But I really can't eat that much, I need to go out and find someone to help me!"
After saying that, Bai Mengran ran out of the restaurant and looked around for someone.
Meanwhile, Jiang Feng and Jiang Yu, who had been waiting for Bai Mengran at the entrance of the convenience store since 9 a.m., immediately got up and walked over as soon as they saw her.
"Good morning, Boss Bai! What do you need my sister and me to do today?"
The two were still wearing yesterday's clothes, and they were clean and tidy.
"Perfect timing, I need your help with something! Have you two had breakfast?"
Bai Mengran was just trying to catch someone when these two delivered themselves right to her doorstep. What a coincidence!
Jiang Feng and Jiang Yu exchanged a glance, and Jiang Feng said, "We've already eaten."
This morning, he shared a steamed bun that Bai Mengran had given him earlier, just enough to fill his stomach, and he didn't want to eat more.
Bai Mengran could roughly guess their situation. Yesterday, she said she would ask the two of them to work for her and provide them with three meals a day.
She hadn't figured out how to set up employee meals since the issue was brought up yesterday, as only three stores had been opened so far and there weren't many food options available.
However, she had already discussed it with the system last night, so she took the opportunity to tell them her thoughts when she met them.
"Jiang Feng and Jiang Yu, starting today, you two are now staff members of our [Fairyland], and I have already added you to the [Fairyland] employee list."
You two can show your "employee" status by scanning your faces, and you can freely enter and exit "Fairyland". I will give you each a meal allowance of 20 per meal, which will be automatically added to your respective accounts daily.
During your morning, noon, and evening break times, unless there are special circumstances, you can come inside to rest. You can choose the shops you want to eat at, scan your face to place your order just like other customers, and shop freely.
I will give each of you a monthly meal allowance of 1800. If there is any money left over, you can use it as you wish, or spend it at any shop in [Fairyland].
Oh, by the way, as part of our employee benefits, you get a 40% discount on all your purchases here.
Bai Mengran, eager to eat her noodles, spoke rapidly, her words flowing in a jumbled mess, leaving the two of them completely bewildered and unable to process what she was saying.
"Sister Bai, oh no, Boss Bai, isn't this treatment a bit too high...? We..."
Jiang Feng hesitated, feeling unworthy of the kindness of his boss.
"Don't overthink it. Just do the work I assign you well, and that will be the best reward for me."
Bai Mengran smiled and said, "Now, the boss has a task for you two, so come in with me quickly!"
Good heavens, eating a bowl of noodles is such a struggle! If she doesn't eat soon, she's afraid this "family reunion" bowl will turn into a pile of lumps...
Jiang Feng and Jiang Yu initially thought that Bai Mengran really had work to give them, but after entering the restaurant, they couldn't help but look around a few times.
Because they had never seen a shop like this before, it was full of novelty, and everything here seemed like a dream to them.
Seeing the owner holding two bowls and waiting at the table, they quickly ran over.
"Boss Bai, your shop is absolutely gorgeous!"
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yu, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up, her slightly childish eyes filled with shock.
Bai Mengran smiled, placed the two normal-sized bowls she had just taken from the counter on the table, took a clean pair of chopsticks, and began to divide the noodles from the giant bowl.
Divide it into three portions, with different ingredients served in two bowls, and finally ladle on the soup.
She took two more pairs of chopsticks and placed them in the hands of the two men, gesturing with her eyes, "Eat up, this is a new soup noodle dish from the restaurant. Your task now is to help me finish this big bowl of noodles!"
After saying that, Bai Mengran was unwilling to wait any longer. She first scooped up a spoonful of noodle soup and tasted it. The soup was incredibly delicious.
Then, try the noodles soaked in the broth. They are chewy and smooth, and taste delicious even without any other ingredients.
Each ingredient truly has a unique flavor: the abalone is juicy and succulent, the pig's trotters are tender and flavorful, and the stir-fried pig liver and kidneys are both tender and fragrant...
Every bite is a delightful surprise, it's simply amazing!
Jiang Feng and Jiang Yu, who had just sat down, were initially a little reserved while holding their chopsticks. But seeing Bai Mengran eating so deliciously, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
From the moment they cautiously reached for their chopsticks to taste the food, their mouths never had a moment to rest.
It was so delicious that the two of them seemed to be hallucinating as they ate.
Two days ago, the two were begging and starving. They never dreamed that two days later they would be eating this heavenly soup noodles. It was so delicious that their eyes welled up with tears.
