80: The black-bellied officer read my mind and fell in love with me

After Su Yi's three-person team officially left the cafeteria, Chef Wang was quickly fired.

The canteen suddenly lost four people, so we had to recruit people from outside again.

Although Chef Wang has worked in the cafeteria for many years, as others have revealed, the actual workload is not large, and he can always find a better person to replace him.

But Su Yi and the other three were different.

Their departure also means that the casserole window in the cafeteria will also be closed.

Many people felt very sorry after hearing about it, and were sad that they would never be able to eat casserole again.

Later I heard that Su Yi opened a restaurant in the town.

Although it hasn't opened yet, everyone is already secretly looking forward to it and eager to try it.

These days, Zhang Tianhua lives in the backyard, sleeping and working.

During the day, Su Yi and Xu Xiaoqin were also busy in the store.

Ye Xiaowu and Ye Nuannuan haven't started school yet, so they are doing whatever they can.

Zhou Jinchuan comes almost every day, calling Shanglu Changzheng and Xie Xiaojun every time.

There is strength in numbers, and the house was cleared out quickly.

And you don’t have to find anyone outside to do things like setting up the stove and painting the walls.

After the simple decoration, it was time to purchase various supplies such as tables, chairs, benches, bowls, chopsticks, basins, etc.

As for recruiting people, Su Yi originally planned to hire two people first.

But now that Xu Xiaoqin and Zhang Tianhua are here, I feel that it's almost done. I can keep busy without hiring anyone for the time being.

But Zhou Jinchuan insisted again and again to recruit at least two more people.

An aunt who is responsible for cleaning, washing dishes and vegetables.

Find another experienced chef.

Su Yi knew that he was worried that he was too tired and felt that it would be too tiring to cook the food himself, so he insisted on inviting someone.

So he agreed to take a look first.

The handyman aunts were easy to recruit. As soon as I posted the news in town, many nearby aunties came over for interviews. The last few of them settled on Sister Mei, who lived on the same street.

He is in his thirties, has nimble hands and feet, is neatly dressed, and is a good worker.

But it’s not that easy to find experienced chefs. After all, such people usually work as chefs in formal units.

No one wants to come to her little-known little restaurant.

Just when Su Yi wanted to give up, he used the excuse of not being able to recruit anyone to try and stop Zhou Jinchuan.

Who would have thought that he would actually bring someone over from outside that day.

As soon as they met, Su Yi felt that this person looked quite extraordinary.

He is about forty years old. Although he has a slight limp on one leg and is not very comfortable when walking, his whole face looks bright and energetic.

As soon as they met, Zhou Jinchuan introduced the man's situation to her.

It turns out that this man's name is Li Jianguo. He used to be a cook squad leader in the army and went to the front line with the army.

Only during a retreat, his leg was accidentally injured by a stray bullet.

I retired from the army when I came back later.

After retiring from the army, he has been living in the nearby countryside. Occasionally, when there are weddings and weddings in nearby villages, he will go over to help cook.

After introducing the situation, Li Jianguo took the initiative to go to the kitchen to cook two dishes for Su Yi to try as a test.

Su Yi wanted to say no, but he still insisted on going, "Although we were introduced, we still follow the rules."

After saying that, he asked Zhang Tianhua to take him to the kitchen.

Su Yi quietly pulled Zhou Jinchuan aside.

"Brother Li does look good, but why didn't you let him work in the cafeteria before?"

Zhou Jinchuan pursed his lips and smiled, "I told you, but he refused. He said he couldn't help but feel sad when he saw so many former comrades in the army."

Su Yi nodded, "Then there will be many comrades coming to my hotel in the future."

Zhou Jinchuan smiled again, "It's okay. I greeted him in advance and did some ideological work. Now he has thought about it."

Su Yi glanced at him suspiciously and murmured in a low voice, "So it was you who insisted on inviting this person here? You also did some ideological work. It seems that this person has to stay?"

Zhou Jinchuan took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, stretched out his hand and flicked her forehead, "I know you want to do everything by yourself, but the work in the kitchen is too heavy, and I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it."

"Besides, I can't just watch from the side every day. With Jianguo here, I can rest assured of his skills."

Su Yi nodded after hearing this, "Okay, then I'll listen to you."

As soon as the two of them finished whispering, Li Jianguo came over with a plate of fried potato shreds.

"Brother Tianhua gave me the question just now. Boss Su, please try it. Does it taste good?"

Su Yi quickly said, "Just call me Xiao Su."

After saying that, he picked up his chopsticks and tasted it. Although it was just a dish of shredded potatoes, the heat and seasoning were just right.

Zhang Tianhua added with a smile, "I just saw him blanching shredded potatoes, and I knew this person was definitely right."

Su Yi also smiled and extended her hand to Li Jianguo, "Brother Li, you are welcome to join us——"

As he spoke, Su Yi suddenly slapped his head, "Ouch, I forgot the name of the hotel."

Everyone suddenly realized that everything in the store was ready and was about to open. However, the name of the hotel had not been decided yet.

Xu Xiaoqin directly suggested, "This is simple, just call it Suyi Hotel."

Zhang Tianhua twitched the corner of his mouth, "Isn't this too straightforward? Otherwise, let's call it Su Ji Hotel?"

This time it was Su Yi's turn to be in trouble. In fact, she didn't really like having her life named after her, so she was patting her head.

Then Zhou Jinchuan suggested, "How about calling it Ruyi Sichuan Cuisine?"

Su Yi paused, then smiled and said, "I think it's okay, and the name is easier to remember."

Everyone agreed, "This is a good idea, let's call it Ruyi Sichuan Cuisine."

After choosing the name, Zhou Jinchuan immediately drove out to find someone to make a plaque.

The rest of the people stayed and worked.

When Zhou Jinchuan came back, Li Jianguo and Sister Mei had already gone back.

Zhou Jinchuan saw that it was getting late, so he was ready to call Su Yi to go back together.

But Su Yi said, "You take the children back first, I still have to be busy here for a while, and I will invite everyone to come and taste the food tomorrow, and then we will discuss the menu."

Although Zhou Jinchuan nodded and agreed to take the two children back.

But he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed in his heart.

After Zhou Jinchuan left, Xu Xiaoqin immediately approached Su Yi, "Su Yi, are you and Captain Zhou already together?"

Su Yi smiled, "How did you know? I was planning to introduce him to you after I was done with these two days."

Xu Xiaoqin pouted, "Only a fool can't tell. Whenever he came over these two days, his eyes seemed to be glued to you."

After that, she muttered, "But why do I feel like you're deliberately avoiding him?"
