Time is life, efficiency is money.
Gao Yi, who has always been an activist, found the largest small supermarket in Suakoko that day. There, he found the only existing Chinese owner in the small supermarket and settled everything in five minutes.
With three thousand dollars a year, the supermarket owner was very happy to rent the hotel to Gao Yi, and then gave Gao Yi three boxes of instant noodles worth ten dollars each for free.
Back at the hotel, Gao Yi first went to some bosses who lived in the hotel and asked them to help change some cash.
Gao Yi brought too little cash. If he wanted to open a restaurant, he would need to pay a rent of US$1,000 first, so Gao Yi exchanged cash for US$2,000 from several lumber merchants.
Transfer money from the bank to the lumber merchant's account, and the lumber merchant here just needs to give you cash.
Initially the bosses were unwilling to change, but after learning that Gao Yi planned to open a restaurant, they even ignored the risk of being cheated and decisively took out the cash, saying that they could take it back at any time if they didn't have enough, without charging any handling fees.
These are all things that Gao Yi completed that day.
The next day, Gao Yi spent twelve dollars and hired twelve local people to clean up for him for a day.
On the third day, the seasonings and three cast iron pots purchased by Luca in Monrovia were put in place, and the local people hired by Gao Yi continued to clean up.
The third day was extremely efficient. The bosses who lived in the hotel thought that the efficiency of the local people was too low. A total of seven guests in the hotel came out to help Gao Yi clean the kitchen and built three stoves in the back yard.
We also found trucks to transport a lot of wood scraps to use as firewood.
On the third day, Gao Yi's restaurant was ready to open.
This restaurant is a serious restaurant. Not only does it have a room, but there are two round tables and four square tables in the room.
Stewing in an iron pot requires a fire the whole time, and the pancakes are placed on the chicken after it is cooked, but it is obviously impossible to eat around a pot the whole time in a hot and non-air-conditioned restaurant.
It's not that Gao Yi didn't think about it, it's that he had no other choice. It would be easier to bring the fried chicken to the table, but he had to be able to do it.
So Gao Yi's solution was to dig a hole in the middle of the three tables, stew the chicken and paste the pancakes in an iron pot in the backyard, then bring the whole iron pot to the restaurant and put it on the table with the hole.
Then just uncover and eat.
Except there is no fire down there, everything else is about the same. Anyway, I can deal with it in a short while.
Still on the third day, after a hard day's work, the bosses got into a quarrel.
"Your idea is wrong. You can stew pork ribs and goose in an iron pot, but how can you make chicken stew in an iron pot? Listen to me, make dry-fried chicken, this is the easiest!"
The fat boss Lin is very knowledgeable about food. It is said that he has a net worth of at least tens of millions, but now he wants to show off his skills personally and invite everyone to try the delicacy of his hometown, dry-fried chicken.
The boss who initially just wanted to set rules for Gao Yi, but changed his attitude when he learned that Gao Yi wanted to open a restaurant, was named Wang. It is said that his net worth is more than that of Boss Lin, and he has three younger brothers, so his voice is also high.
maximum.
"Dry-fried chicken? I've never heard of it. Have you ever eaten spicy chicken? Stir-fried chicken is also good! It's absolutely delicious. The sheep will be slaughtered and stewed tomorrow. Today my brother will make spicy chicken for you to try."
The supermarket owner said eagerly: "Three pots, cook them all, cook them all. Since today is a whole chicken feast, I will treat everyone to a chicken soup. I will make chicken soup with local chickens. It will be so fresh."
Gao Yi couldn't bear it anymore, and he said seriously: "Dear bosses, brothers, I want to open a store, so let's try the dishes!"
Boss Gao spoke, and all the bosses were speechless. In the end, Boss Lin reluctantly said: "Then let's fry the chicken tomorrow. Let's have a small stir-fried chicken today, stew the chicken in Boss Chen's iron pot, and then drink some chicken soup."
The chicken has been killed, the plan has been drawn up, there are three pots and three stoves, everyone started working together, and the progress is rapid.
Then when Gao Yi was about to try his skills, everyone robbed him of the job that should have been his.
When Boss Lin looked at Gao Yi's slightly unfamiliar fuss, he finally couldn't help but said: "Oh, Boss Chen, I've also eaten iron pot stew before. What you did isn't quite right. Your chicken nuggets were cut too much."
It’s too small, and you didn’t blanch it, come on, come on, look at me..."
Gao Yi realized that he should open a cafeteria instead of a restaurant.
Whoever comes to eat has to cook it himself, serve it himself, wash his own plate, wash his own bowl, and finally pay the bill.
Gao Yi, who had nothing to do, decided to steal his apprenticeship. As long as he watched these people cook a few meals, he would probably be able to become a chef here.
Of course, the premise is to fool the locals.
Smoke was rising from the kitchen stove, and everyone was laughing and chatting. But just when everyone was looking forward to having a big meal later, someone quietly came to Gao Yi who was stealing his master.
"Hello, Boss Chen."
Gao Yi turned around and looked at the person who greeted him, but it was the hotel tenant he met for the first time today.
Both are Chinese, but this person has never met Gao Yi before. Perhaps because of the temptation of delicious food, he came with Lao Lin and the others today.
He looks to be in his thirties, slightly shorter than Gao Yi, but very strong. He is wearing a quick-drying shirt and has his hair parted, and looks quite honest.
"My name is Lin Xianghua. Nice to meet Boss Chen."
Gao Yi nodded and said politely: "Boss Lin, hello, hello, from now on..."
Before Gao Yi finished his courtesy, Lin Xianghua shook his head and said: "I'm not the boss, I'm a part-time worker, and I'm here to check on the boss."
On the contrary, his identity is the same as that of Gao Yi.
Gao Yi smiled and said: "I am also the boss, I am also the boss. Where is Boss Lin from?"
Lin Xianghua's Mandarin is relatively standard, and he sounds like a northerner, but occasionally there is a slight accent on a few words, which makes him sound like a southerner.
Gao Yi asked casually, but Lin Xianghua immediately said: "Oh, I'm from southern China, uh, Boss Chen, I'm encountering something now and I want to ask you for a favor."
"You say, you say."
Lin Xianghua was very embarrassed and said: "Well...my boss asked me to come and see if the business here is going well. I have been here for half a month and it doesn't look like the situation is good. Then yesterday, the boss suddenly said that he didn't plan to work here.
There is business here and he asked me to go back, but all the money he gave me was spent..."
Gao Yi still had a smile on his face, but alarm bells were ringing in his heart.
Lin Xianghua said helplessly: "Boss Chen, you open a store here. I think you are alone and can't be busy. How about I give you a job? I don't have high salary requirements, but you can pay me every month."
I...three hundred, three hundred dollars will be fine, how about it?"
Gao Yi was a little surprised because he just thought Lin Xianghua wanted to borrow money.
But Lin Xianghua doesn't want to borrow money, he wants to work.
Living in a hotel for $400 a day and now asking to work for a job with a monthly salary of $300?
What is this? Are the heroes seeing the same thing or meeting a fellow hero?
Either Lin Xianghua is a fool, or he thinks Gao Yi is a fool. Anyway, no matter which way it is, Gao Yi's answer is just two words, get out.
"Excuse me."
Gao Yi shook his head with regret and said: "I just open a small shop. I really can't hire anyone. And you can see my shop, so you don't need to hire anyone. If you want to earn money for the furnace toll, I
Do you think you can work for Boss Lin? He needs manpower now."
Lin Xianghua was startled, then looked at Lao Lin. He hesitated and said: "This... uh..."
Lin Xianghua's road was blocked, Gao Yi looked aside, and then he hurriedly said: "Hey, I have to prepare the cakes. Sorry, I have to go first."
Lin Xianghua stayed where he was, looking embarrassed and not very smart.
Gao Yi suddenly began to doubt his own judgment. If Lin Xianghua was really a colleague, he shouldn't be so stupid, right?
Can a fool also be a killer?
When Gao Yi was confused, Lin Xianghua suddenly made up his mind. Then he walked to Gao Yi and whispered: "Boss Chen, the hotel is too expensive. I will work for you without any salary. I only need to take care of the food."
Just keep it under control, right?"
Are you really desperate and just want to make a living and have a place to live?
Gao Yi looked at Lin Xianghua again. He approached Lin Xianghua, sighed, and reached out to pat Lin Xianghua's back.
It's very hard, and the latissimus dorsi is well developed, but not very big. It's not a muscle specially developed for appearance.
Gao Yi said helplessly: "Brother, it's not that I don't want to help. The key is that we are not familiar with each other, and this place is lawless. I don't dare to take you in casually. You can ask the other bosses, I'm sorry.
ah."
Making intimate gestures but saying words of rejection.
After finishing speaking, Gao Yi immediately said: "It smells so good. I can't wait. Is it almost ready?"
Gao Yi felt that his acting skills were too stiff, but no matter what, he would not leave Lin Xianghua in his store.
This time Lin Xianghua didn't pester him again.
The three pots were full of chicken, and the first thing to come out of the pot was the stir-fried chicken. Boss Wang happily said loudly: "That's it! Even with the pot in hand, carry it over first. Come on, let's try my brother's craftsmanship first."
Boss Wang didn't do it himself, but one of his younger brothers was good at cooking.
Several people couldn't wait to come to the restaurant and put the iron pot on the table specially designed by Gao Yi. A group of people took chopsticks and no one sat down, so they all stretched out their chopsticks to take a bite.
"Not bad, really good!"
“Delicious, delicious…”
Once he tasted it, he couldn't stop. If he hadn't been thinking about the chicken stewed in the pot in the backyard with the pancakes, Gao Yi wouldn't have put down his chopsticks.
But at this time, the door of the hotel was suddenly pushed open.
Gao Yi turned his head and was stunned. When several other people looked up, they all froze immediately and stopped holding the chopsticks in their hands.
An extremely strong black man wearing camouflage uniforms and a beret stood at the door of the hotel. He looked at the people standing around the table, turned to look at the big pot on the table, and suddenly said: "You guys
What are you eating?”
The speaker was in English, and one of Lao Wang's younger brothers replied in English: "Chicken."
After asking and answering, the black man walked towards the table. He looked at the things inside, moved his nose, and after smelling hard, nodded and said: "Very good, it smells good."
Gao Yi didn't say anything. Lao Wang next to him looked at his younger brother. Then the younger brother hesitated and whispered: "He said it smelled very good."
Lao Lin smiled at the side and said: "This...this...please give him a try?"
I don’t know if the black man understood what Lao Lin said, but he said seriously: "The general is coming."
The younger brother immediately said: "He said the general is coming."
Several people looked at each other.
Gao Yi was convinced. He thought his efficiency was high enough, but he didn't expect Gray Horace to be even more efficient. He came right after smelling the smell.
Chapter completed!
