Chapter 115: Chapter 115 Participating in the Competition
"Excuse NovelFiree, may I know who sent you here?"
The several staff members sighed with relief upon seeing Chen Yu.
"You're the owner here! It has now been determined that there are signs of you practicing medicine illegally, please come with us."
Chen Yu didn't say much, he simply took out his medical practitioner license.
However, he was careful to cover the issuance date.
"I think you must have received a malicious report!"
The staff members took a look and their eyes widened in astonishment.
The license had all the necessary stamps, and it even bore Li Tianhe's signature.
The staff members suddenly felt embarrassed; they had not expected that a restaurant owner could actually obtain a medical practitioner license.
"We are truly sorry, Boss Chen, for not checking thoroughly!"
Having said that, the staff members hurriedly squeezed through the crowd and headed for the exit.
After all, the takeaway riders surrounding them were already seething with anger, and if they had left any later, there's no telling what the takeaway riders might have done.
The entire restaurant suddenly erupted with excitement, and everyone looked at Chen Yu with admiration.
When these people first arrived, they were a little worried that Chen Yu might be accused of practicing medicine illegally.
Now it seemed that such concerns were completely unnecessary.
Tong Ya too had been sweating bullets for Chen Yu.
She knew the medical practitioner license had been issued only today, and if they had delved deeper into the matter, Chen Yu would indeed have struggled to explain himself.
Fortunately, the staff members, under pressure, had left early.
By this time, the flow of customers in the restaurant had reached its peak, and Chen Yu didn't show the slightest neglect, rolling up his sleeves and heading into the kitchen.
After rolling out the covered rice and stir-fried dishes, the number of orders at the restaurant increased somewhat.
The nearby eateries' business must have been inadvertently snatched away by Chen Yu.
Just the quantity of covered rice shown on the delivery orders was already over ten thousand, and this number seemed to be growing.
Chen Yu wasn't at all surprised since the shop had already accumulated a following of no less than one hundred thousand.
Throughout the afternoon, Ning Kai and Li Gang's hands never stopped moving.
Thankfully, the frequency of orders was high, so they could cook the same orders in one batch.
Although the pressure was huge, it was an excellent learning opportunity for the two of them.
Chen Yu had previously shown them how to make various dishes, but some of the techniques were still very new to them.
Such high-frequency work allowed them to quickly master these skills.
It wasn't until four o'clock in the afternoon that Chen Yu and the other two finally got a break.
As orders continued to come in steadily, Chen Yu became somewhat anxious, so he prepared a large pot of the most frequently ordered dishes.
His intention was to keep the dishes in the pot warm so they could be served with rice anytime.
But to his surprise, a large pot of dishes would be sold out in less than five minutes.
It wasn't until four o'clock in the afternoon that the peak finally subsided, though there were still sporadic orders from time to time.
Chen Yu finally took a deep breath and sat down in a corner of the kitchen.
He quickly calculated that up to this point, just the quantity of covered rice reached over thirty thousand portions, not including those who ordered dishes and rice separately.
Now, Ning Kai and Li Gang sat beside Chen Yu, wiping the sweat from their foreheads.
"Before, we all thought that it was impossible for mass-cooked dishes to be as exquisite as the fine dining ones, since quantity and quality were thought to be mutually exclusive. But who knew that in your hands, neither would be a problem."
Chen Yu smiled, "Actually, it's just like making ordinary dishes, you just need to pay a bit more attention to certain techniques."
With that, Chen Yu stood up, grabbed a large pot, and started teaching on the spot.
In fact, the pace of today's work was handled very well by Ning Kai and Li Gang, who started processing the ingredients delivered yesterday morning.
Moreover, Chu Hong had specifically arranged for Du Ling, He Hua, Liu Tong, and Yang Shu to come over and help.
Otherwise, Ning Kai and Li Gang would probably have been overwhelmed just by themselves.
With today's experience, Ning Kai and Li Gang had already planned out tomorrow's schedule in their minds.
At eight o'clock in the evening, a plethora of exquisite dishes were served on the tables.
The kitchen's leftover ingredients were all processed by Ning Kai and Li Gang into staff meals for today.
Right after dinner, the delivery person for the ingredients arrived just in time.
All of yesterday's ingredients, including rice, were sold out, so Chen Yu directly ordered forty thousand catties of rice to use over the next four days.
As for the other ingredients, they were ordered daily along with the braising ingredients.
[Congratulations, Host, for completing a day's business. Since costs exceeded profits, no points have been accumulated.]
Chen Yu didn't pay much attention to that anymore; he had gotten used to this notification sound over the past couple of days.
He did a rough calculation in his mind, and today's turnover was almost two million.
After deducting the cost of purchasing ingredients, there was still one million five hundred and one thousand and six hundred yuan in his account.
He transferred one million five hundred and one thousand to Tong Ya's supplementary card, and the remaining six hundred yuan was kept as spare cash.
Now, the spare funds Chen Yu had on hand were roughly a little more than three thousand yuan.
Looking at the current situation, he still owed Tong Ya four hundred eighty-five thousand for the house purchase.
However, the amount of debt in points was still quite high; a rough estimate showed that he would need one million and forty-two thousand eight hundred and twenty points before he could start accumulating points again.
After giving some instructions about the store, Chen Yu arranged for everyone to get off work.
Having briefly checked the warehouse, he drove home with Tong Ya.
Li Lan and Chen Guang didn't go to the store today, instead, they tidied up the whole villa inside and out.
In this cleanup, they found quite a few treasures.
Chen Yu didn't bother with that but simply took a shower and went back to his room.
Tomorrow, he had to accompany Tong Ming's racing team to a Formula race, and he needed a good rest to prepare.
Early the next morning, Chen Yu drove off with Tong Ya and Tuan Tuan.
Originally, Chen Yu had planned to go by himself, but couldn't resist Tong Ya's persuasion the night before. Discover worlds on m _v _lempy _r.
Moreover, when he got up in the morning, he found Tuan Tuan already dressed and waiting eagerly.
With no choice, he had to take them along.
"Daddy, are you really just following the team to cook?" Tuan Tuan, sitting in the backseat, gazed up with big, watery eyes full of anticipation.
It seemed as if she already saw Chen Yu as a professional race car driver.
"That's right, I'm just there to cook!" Chen Yu responded with a smile.
"Won't you be driving or joining the race?" Tuan Tuan pressed on.
Chen Yu was somewhat helpless, "Anyway, once we get there, you have to listen to Mom and don't run around! Otherwise, I'll send you back."
Tuan Tuan didn't speak any further but obediently sat back down and took out her water bottle from her backpack.
