Chapter 137
It was already two days after all the details of the new western restaurant and hot pot restaurant were finalized, the furniture and decorations arrived, and they were arranged one by one.
It was supposed to take three days to complete all the work, but in order to move the hot pot to the third floor as soon as possible, Shen Zening quickly made the western restaurant independent. He has been working overtime for the past two days and finally moved the two restaurants. Position replacement completed.
The renovated third floor has changed from an elegant European style to a simple modern style. All the Western-style tables and chairs have been moved to the new Western restaurant and replaced with tables specially designed for hot pot restaurants with their own induction cookers.
In order to ensure the dining experience for diners, Shen Zening chose sofa seats for all the newly purchased chairs for the hot pot restaurant on the third floor.
There is a partition as high as half a person between the two sofa seats, which separates the seats so that they do not disturb each other.
The condiment area is located in the center of the third floor. There is a large long table filled with various condiments. There is also a buffet table with cut fruits next to it.
After the new renovation, the third floor still follows the charging model of a modern hot pot restaurant. Condiments and fruits are charged per piece and can be refilled indefinitely. Basic drinks such as Coke, Sprite, tea bags, etc. are also charged per piece. If you want to order milk tea, etc. Just drink it one cup at a time.
With the addition of an additional restaurant, it was natural to recruit new waiters. After Shen Zening prepared the two restaurants, the new employees had already been trained by Xue Yun and put on uniform work uniforms.
When renovating the hot pot restaurant and the small bungalow, Shen Zening also took advantage of the opportunity to promote the two new restaurants through the diners who came to inquire.
On the day it officially opened, it was packed with people and every seat was packed. As usual, he offered a 15% discount in the week before the opening. If old customers reserved their seats in advance, they could enjoy further discounts.
A hot pot restaurant is much more lively than a small bungalow. After all, the tables are large and there are many places. The hot pot tastes hot and smokey, making it suitable for family or friends to gather together.
There are slightly fewer diners in the small bungalow of the Western restaurant. Most of them are young monks who are attracted by the decoration and atmosphere.
The small bungalow and the hot pot restaurant had the same opening discount. There were many flowers and fragrant candles at the door and indoors. The partitions in the hall were made of wooden hollow screens with small rose flowers entwined on them.
In the greenhouse, sunlight passes through the transparent glass dome and falls on various rose bushes. The location of the flower bushes is also particular. Shen Zening specially bought a set of small garden templates and placed them according to the above positions. After the opening, , the effect is naturally much better than that of random planting.
Many young monks stared straight at it and ran to enjoy the flowers while waiting for the food to be served.
After all, even in the world of cultivation, it is difficult to see so many red and purple dew in late autumn.
Now that it was officially open for business, Shen Zening walked around the hot pot restaurant to see how the operation was doing, randomly asked diners about their dining experience, and asked the waiters not to forget to bring snacks to each table, and then went to another restaurant. Over there at the small bungalow.
There were too many people, so he didn't let Bai Yang come with him. Besides, the little fox stayed up late with him last night. He definitely didn't get enough sleep when he got up early in the morning. He was probably still catching up on sleep now.
While he was thinking about what delicious food he could make for the little fox to wake him up later, he walked towards the small bungalow. As soon as he reached the door, before he could step in, he was surrounded by groups of paper cranes. "raid".
Many white paper cranes rushed out of the small bungalow with a swish, flew into the sky and scattered away.
Shen Zening was unexpectedly startled and quickly turned aside.
But in addition to this group, several groups of paper cranes flew out of the door one after another. He waited outside the door for a long time before walking in while several groups of paper cranes had just flown away.
"What are these paper cranes for?"
Shen Zening was confused and asked a waiter directly.
When the waiter turned around and saw that the boss was coming, he hurriedly said: "It's those monks who saw the flowers in the greenhouse and were passing the paper cranes to their relatives and friends." When
Shen Zening heard this, he smiled. Isn't this just like the modern invention? Is it the same in the circle of friends? It also takes the initiative to promote it.
"It's very good. Don't forget to order a cheese tart according to the number of people at each table."
After explaining to the waiter, he patted him on the shoulder, walked around the hall, and then went directly to the greenhouse and mixed in with the rewarded people. Among the young monks among the flowers, he secretly took a lot of photos of roses with Polaroids, preparing to show them to the little fox later.
When he returned to the small building, Bai Yang had indeed not woken up. His long hair was spread out on the quilt, and he was lying on his side. He was still holding a corner of Shen Zening's pajamas in his hand, sleeping soundly.
Shen Zening sat by the bed, gently caressed the side of the little fox's face, tucked his messy hair behind his ears, and leaned over to kiss him on the lips.
They had been running back and forth between the new Western restaurant and the hot pot restaurant last night. After decorating the hot pot restaurant, they went to the new Western restaurant to arrange the decorations and adjust the details. They didn't fall asleep until it was almost dawn.
He had rested for more than three hours. He could still bear it now and was not too sleepy, but it would be hard to continue with the little fox, so he had to hold back and go to the kitchen to make breakfast first.
...Or should I say lunch?
Cheese and fat beef rolls, custard toast, and crispy chicken drumsticks were the brunch he prepared for the little fox.
I have been working hard these past few days, so I have to let my wife eat well after she gets up.
Mix flour, cake flour, yeast, salt, sugar, corn oil and water to form a dough, cover with plastic wrap and set aside for half an hour to rise.
Put the fat beef rolls in a bowl, add light soy sauce, cooking wine, black pepper sauce and soy sauce, and marinate for half an hour.
During the half hour, Shen Zening wasted no time. He took out the toast, removed the edges, cut it into small pieces, and beat the eggs into the milk.
Deboning the chicken thighs, he made two cuts on the chicken, added garlic, cooking wine, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, and a small amount of dark soy sauce and prepared to marinate for twenty minutes.
Egg toast requires the shortest time, while cheese and beef rolls take the longest. After the chicken is marinated and the beef and dough are still short of time, Shen Zening simply puts the toast into the preheated oven and bakes it. .
The custard toast needs to be baked for twenty minutes. While waiting for baking, Shen Zening took advantage of the time lag to absorb the moisture from the marinated chicken legs with kitchen towels, put the skin side into the pan, and then put the meat in the pan. Covered with a piece of tinfoil, I used a method I had seen online, using a deep plate filled with half a plate of water to press it down. This would make the meat of the chicken legs firmer and more tender.
Turn on the stove over low heat and fry both sides for five minutes.
The chicken legs were quickly fried until they were golden brown on both sides, exuding the aroma of meat. Finally, they were cut into pieces and served on a plate, sprinkled with chopped parsley and it was done.
At this moment, the toasted egg custard toast was rich and fragrant. Shen Zening first stored the toast and crispy chicken drumsticks in the system space to keep them warm, and then turned to deal with the cooked dough and marinated beef. roll.
After the pot is heated, pour a small amount of oil, shred the onions, stir-fry until fragrant, then add the beef rolls, until the color changes, add shredded green peppers and stir-fry until cooked, set aside.
In addition to the fat beef roll that the little fox wants to eat, Shen Zening also plans to make two more, one for himself and one to take to Tiao Tiao, who is in kindergarten.
The awakened dough had just been divided into three portions. While frying the fat beef rolls, Shen Zening put it aside and let it rest for ten minutes.
Roll out the three pieces of dough into a rectangular shape, put the beef roll filling in the middle, and sprinkle with some grated cheese.
Shen Zening sprinkled a lot of shredded cheese, covering almost half of the fat beef roll, then folded the edge of the dough a little and rolled it up.
At this time, you can't directly brush the oil into the oven. It needs to be fermented for another twenty minutes.
In such a short time, Shen Zening cut up a lot of fresh fruits, some of which were to be placed on the custard toast, and some of which were put into the crisper to be taken to Tiao Tiao together with the cheese and beef rolls.
Of course, I didn't forget to keep some for myself.
Shen Zening prepared the fruit slowly and leisurely, not forgetting to look at the game interface and counting the sales so far.
There was some noise upstairs, and he knew that Bai Yang had woken up, but he did not go upstairs immediately. Instead, he brushed the fermented beef rolls with a thin layer of corn oil, sprinkled with cheese powder, and put them in the oven to bake. At that time, I went to find the little fox.
As soon as he opened the door, a soft little pom-pom fell into his arms.
After Bai Yang woke up, he was lazy for a moment and transformed into his original form, waiting for Shen Zening to carry him down.
After his body had almost recovered, Bai Yang's original form was actually quite large, especially with the seven furry tails at the back, which made him look even larger than his human form. Shen Zening was lucky enough to see him several times. Bai Yang, who was very happy to hold his true form, moved from beginning to end.
But now Bai Yang has just become the little one he was when they met. The soft fur on his body is still a little frayed because he just woke up. It is a ball of white fluff, thick and soft, like a thick dog. Little snowball.
Fortunately, he is not shedding hair now, otherwise Shen Zening would tease him and explain that he is just a little dandelion.
Shen Zening had just caught the little fox that suddenly pounced on him and put it in his arms. Before he could ask him why he wanted to change back to his original form of such a small little fox, he heard the little fox scratching his head as if he hadn't woken up. She touched the lapel of his clothes and sniffed twice.
"Hmm... Shen Zening... what delicious food did you make?"
Bai Yang smelled the sweet smell of milk in his arms, and the smell of meat that touched his clothes.
"Did you grill the meat? I smell it... um... is it chicken?"
He worked overtime with Shen Zening last night and fell asleep before he had a chance to eat some supper. It was the time when he was hungry, so he guessed I guessed the meat correctly, but I guessed the cooking method wrong.
"It's indeed chicken, but it's not roasted, it's fried, crispy chicken legs."
Shen Zening scratched the little fox's chin for the first time in a long time, and the gentle touch made Bai Yang raise his head in comfort.
After rubbing the little fox from its head to the tip of its tail, Shen Zening carried his wife, who was still a little drowsy, downstairs.
The cheese and fat beef rolls are already baked, and the oven door can't stop the overflowing meaty aroma.
Bai Yang's stomach rumbled slightly, he jumped down from Shen Zening's arms, turned into a human form, turned his back to Shen Zening, and said softly: "Come and comb my hair." After combing his hair Convenient for eating
!
The little fox's snow-white hair was as soft as the downy hair in his original form. Shen Zening didn't even use a comb and directly picked up some with his hands. He first felt the wonderful touch of the soft hair falling from his palms. After the little fox was puzzled, Before turning his head, he took out the hair tie and tied up his hair.
After leading the little fox to sit down at the dining table, Shen Zening first took out the custard toast that had been prepared, put sliced strawberries and blueberries on it, and placed the crispy chicken drumsticks next to it. Okay fork.
The milk is also just the right temperature for the mouth. In addition to the milk, there is also a cup of honey and passion fruit. You can drink any cup of Baiyang.
He took the cheese fat beef roll out of the oven. The thin dough on the outside was baked to a beautiful golden color, and there was plenty of filling on the inside. One bite was full of gravy mixed with fragrant cheese.
No one can resist the fat beef roll with extra shredded cheese, and Bai Yang was no exception. In a short time, there was only the bottom left.
There was a small ball of fat beef roll left, which he took bit by bit and slowly ate it as if reluctant to part with it.
"Baby, go ahead and eat. There's still more." Shen Zening smiled and brought out another fat beef roll, telling Bai Yang not to save it.
"Didn't we only make three? One for me, one for you, and one for Tiao Tiao." Bai Yang said.
When he was waiting for Shen Zening to get the cheese and fat beef rolls, he glanced into the oven and saw clearly that there were only three of them.
"If I eat this again, you won't have it anymore."
Shen Zening pushed the cheese fat beef roll in front of Bai Yang and said, "My Yangyang doesn't have to worry about this. If you don't have it anymore, you can make it later. "
This is so troublesome to make...
Bai Yang knew that the cheese and fat beef rolls were the last ones to be made, and he knew that the dough would be made into fillings. This process would definitely take a long time.
His snow-white fox ears trembled, and he took the table knife and cut the cheese and fat beef roll that Shen Zening gave him in half.
"I'll just eat half of it." The little fox leaned over and chirped on Shen Zening's lips, "Let's make the remaining half of yours together tonight." So the
little fox who took the initiative was caught by Shen Zening again. She pressed her lips together and kissed him several times before letting him go. She rubbed the slight tooth marks on her red lips and said,
"Okay."
Shen Zening ate breakfast with Bai Yang and spent a rare leisurely time. In the afternoon, carrying the fruit and cheese fat beef rolls prepared for Tiao Tiao, he and the little fox went to visit the cub who was in school.
At this time, there were several more children in the kindergarten. In addition to Pei Nian, there was also a little rabbit demon with long hanging ears that looked about the same size as Tiao Tiao.
In addition to the little rabbit demon, there are also two human beings, children of monks, with identical faces. They are a pair of twins, one wearing white clothes and the other wearing black clothes, both of the same style.
When Shen Zening and Bai Yang arrived at the kindergarten, it was time for afternoon activities.
Several little cubs sat together, with soft cushions under their buttocks, and a thick and soft crawling mat under the cushions. There was a small table next to it, with some chestnut cakes and juice placed on it.
The cubs surrounded Tiao Liao and reached out to touch his little dragon horns and tail.
"Wow, it's really a dragon horn!"
Among the twins, the one wearing white clothes is the elder brother, named Zhong Xiao, and the one in black clothes is the younger brother, named Zhong Lin.
The two brothers looked to be about five or six years old. Each of them said something like a cross talk, sighing about the dragon's horns and tail.
Zhong Xiao: "Little horn!"
Zhong Lin: "Little tail!"
Zhong Xiao: "It's a dragon!"
Zhong Lin: "Dad and mother said there is a dragon that has not appeared for thousands of years!"
Zhong Xiao: "Oh my God! "
Zhong Lin: "Wow!"
Zhong Xiao: "Shen Yun, can we touch it again?"
Zhong Lin: "Shen Yun, can you change back to your prototype and show us?"
The twin brothers' eyes were bright, Full of admiration, Tiao Tiao was stared at by such eyes and couldn't bear to refuse, nor did he want to refuse.
He was praised by his new friends!
I have to show one to my friends!
Tiao Tiao agreed simply, and then asked the friends to step back.
The twins and the little rabbit demon thought that Tiao Tiao's prototype was very big, so they hurriedly supported it with their small hands, moved their little buttocks back a little, and waited obediently for Tiao Tiao to transform into a dragon shape.
Pei Nian didn't even move, looking extremely calm among the small dumplings. He took out a pink gummy from the small box in his arms, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully.
Tiao Tiao was about to exert his strength, but when he saw that Pei Nian had not moved yet, he walked over and patted his hand, "Pei Nian, why don't you move?"
Pei Nian had just taken out the second gummy candy. , being slapped by Tiao Tiao, he almost lost his grip. His arm shook, his fingers loosened a little, and the gummy almost fell to the ground.
He pursed his lips, followed the way Tiao Tiao did before, and stuffed the gummy candy into Tiao Tiao's mouth.
"Would you like some candy?"
Tiao Tiao was startled and subconsciously rolled up the gummy candy with the tip of his tongue. Then he smiled sweetly: "It's delicious, Pei Nian, thank you."
Pei Nian stared at the fingertips. He drooled and wiped his clean clothes expressionlessly, "You're welcome."
Shen Zening and Bai Yang happened to see this scene: "..."
Baby, have you forgotten... This is what it is. Your candy...
Pei Nian has eight hundred extra tricks compared to the simple Xiao Tiao Tiao.
Shen Zening looked at the two of them getting along and felt a little funny.
Although his little dragon cubs are always tricked by the clever little ghost Pei Nian, the two cubs are still young, and Pei Nian just cheated a lot of candy from Tiao Tiao. After getting along for a long time, Tiao Tiao might be able to do something like that. Just follow the example and be made smarter by Pei Nian.
"I don't know how this little nephew Pei Zhaosu was raised." Bai Yang also said with a smile, "It would be great if I learned a few things from Tiao Tiao. At least I won't suffer in the future." At this time,
his fathers were worried about him . The silly and sweet Tiao Tiao stood among the children with his chest raised and his head raised. Then with a "pop", he turned into a little dragon and emerged from a pile of thick autumn clothes.
Unfortunately, when he got out, the dragon's horn accidentally got caught on a belt. He didn't look very handsome, but looked cute and cute.
Zhong Xiao and Zhong Lin thought how big the prototype of Tiao Tiao was, but when they saw the little dragon cub that was only as thick as an arm, they said with disappointment: "You are so small." "The
snakes in the forest outside are thicker than you."
"Hey."
"Hey."
Tiao Tiao was stunned for a moment before he could boast, "I... I'm still young, I will grow up in the future!"
He failed to show his true colors in front of his friends. Tiao Tiao was a little frustrated, and just when he was about to transform back into his human form, someone touched Xiaolongjiao.
"It looks good," Pei Nian said, "Shen Yun's prototype is small and very cute."
Shen Zening, who originally thought they were a plastic brotherhood, glanced at Pei Nian who was comforting Tiao Tiao in surprise.
Unexpectedly, apart from his fondness for sweets, he is actually quite gentle and considerate.
After Pei Nian finished speaking, the little rabbit demon stretched out his hand tremblingly, quickly touched the dragon tails, and mustered up the courage to say: "Cute, cute!"
He was still a little afraid of dragons. Well, after all, bloodline suppression is no joke, but seeing that Shen Yun's prototype was so small and silly, he wasn't so afraid, and followed Pei Nian to comfort Shen Yun, who was a little disappointed.
"You can't call me cute, I don't want to be a cute little dragon."
Tiao Tiao quickly regained his energy and was in a better mood, but he still said seriously to Pei Nian and the little rabbit demon, "I want to be a cute little dragon in the future. The big dragon is as majestic as my father. Have you ever seen my father's original form? It's so big! Dad said that the first time his father showed him the dragon shape, the house almost burst..." Tiao Tiao asked his friends
. They praised Shen Zening's dragon shape, as proudly as if they were praising themselves.
As he was talking, he accidentally looked up and saw his father and dad standing outside the door of the activity room, looking at him with a smile.
"Father, daddy!" Tiao Tiao waved to them happily, then looked at Pei Nian and the little rabbit demon, "My father is here! I will let him transform into a dragon to show you!" Shen
Zening: "?"
As soon as Tiao Tiao finished speaking, Shen Zening met two pairs of round, curious eyes.
"Uncle Shen, is your dragon shape really big? Can you show it to us?"
The questioner was the little rabbit demon. After chatting with Tiao Tiao for a while, he gradually became more courageous.
After the little rabbit demon finished speaking, Pei Nian also nodded.
Shen Zening: "..."
Question: What is it like to be shown off by a kid?
Answer: ...just a little... at a loss...
Of course Shen Zening would not transform into a dragon in the kindergarten to show these cubs. What he looked like was too strange.
He didn't talk, but tried to divert the children's attention with fragrant cheese beef rolls and fresh fruits.
The attention of Tiao Tiao and the little bunny demon, who were easy to deceive, was immediately attracted by the fat beef roll dripping with cheese heart. Especially Tiao Tiao, who was drooling and stretched out his hand to take the cheese fat beef roll.
But when he stretched out his hand halfway, he remembered that Pei Nian and the little rabbit demon were beside him, so he retracted his hand and turned to Shen Zening and said, "Father, help me divide it into three parts!" "Share
it with your friends. ?" Bai Yang pinched Tiaotiao's little face and said, "You're so sensible."
The little rabbit demon shook his head in embarrassment and didn't want to take the cheese fat beef roll. Pei Nian also said, "I won't eat it, Shen Yun, this Your family brought it to you." "But I want to share it with you." Tiao Tiao said, "My father's cooking is delicious, and there is spiritual energy in it! If you don't believe me, try it!" Tiao Tiao
said
Needless to say, he stuffed the portioned cheese and beef rolls into the hands of the little rabbit demon and Pei Nian. He moved quickly and refused to refuse. At this moment, he looked like a domineering little dragon cub.
The little rabbit demon held up the warm cheese and fat beef rolls and whispered, "I, I will also bring the snacks made by my mother tomorrow!"
Pei Nian was a little hesitant after hearing the little rabbit demon's words and did not speak for a while.
His mother... I don't know which secret realm she is hiding in, and my uncle can't cook either. What should I do...
He thought about it and had to say: "Shen Yun, my mother can't cook, and neither can my uncle." , I'll make it for you later."
"Okay!" Tiao Tiao said, reaching out to Pei Nian, "Pull the hook! Don't regret it!"
After the two little dumplings solemnly pulled the hook, Pei Nian took the cheese and fat beef. Roll, take a small bite.
The first bite shocked him.
It was true as Shen Yun said, a warm spiritual energy ran into his body.
Little Tuya also opened his already big and round eyes in surprise, "...Wow, you really have aura!"
This time Tiao Tiao finally succeeded in pretending, and said proudly: "I said my father is very good. Awesome!"
After he finished speaking, he said coquettishly to Shen Zening: "Father, father, can you make some snacks for me tomorrow!"
Shen Zening would naturally agree to Zai Zi's request.
He rubbed the strips of white hair and said, "I will prepare snacks for you every day and eat them with your friends."
In fact, even if Tiao Tiao didn't say anything, Shen Zening had thought about it when he packed the cheese and beef rolls for Tiao Tiao today. The children in the kindergarten were growing up, and he had to prepare food for Tiao Tiao anyway, so he might as well even The other kids also took the opportunity to do so.
After all, kindergarten tuition is not cheap, so the children have to eat well.
The most filling thing in the hotel, apart from the powder of the seventh-level spiritual grass, is the only dish he made with the bonus of [Dragon Blessing].
After Shen Zening made up his mind to do this, for the next few days, he prepared various afternoon snacks for the children in the kindergarten, such as cookies in the shape of various cute animals. , glutinous rice, small cakes, peach blossom cake, osmanthus cake and so on.
Anyway, there are not many children in the kindergarten now, so it is easy to do. After a period of time, all the children have gained weight and their bodies have become stronger and stronger.
Sometimes if he is busy, he will prepare the snacks in advance and ask his employees to deliver them.
Today he was busy renovating the hotel's martial arts training room. Some guests reported that the wooden stakes for sparring were too easy to break. He and Bai Yang were looking for materials that could replace the existing wooden stakes, and were also preparing to find a system to contact people from other dimensions. The merchant had no time to leave, so he stopped Wang Yuan who was passing by, handed him a large bag of snacks, and asked him to take him to the kindergarten.
Wang Yuan agreed, and when he was walking to the kindergarten carrying snacks, he happened to bump into Zhang Hui who was out for convenience.
"Where are you going? What's this in your hand?" Zhang Hui looked at the delicate little paper bag and wondered.
Wang Yuan replied, "The boss asked me to deliver snacks to the children in the kindergarten."
Zhang Hui asked: "The boss made it by himself?"
"Yes." Wang Yuan replied, "The boss specially prepared it for the children, every day Yes, I would like to add more spiritual energy to strengthen the body. You also know that the dishes made by the boss can be said to be very nourishing. My wife's body is nourished by his dishes. I didn't expect that he would care so much about children. Ah, it's getting late, I'll go first, the children will be waiting in a hurry."
After Wang Yuan finished speaking, he hurried away with the bag. Zhang Hui stared at his back for a while, lowering his head and wondering what he was thinking , turned around and left after a long time.
Chapter 138
It's another afternoon.
Shen Zening finally remodeled the martial arts room in the past few days, replacing the sparring stakes inside with sparring equipment made of materials wholesaled from merchants in the interstellar plane, which can withstand spiritual energy attacks. It can also change its position according to the trainer's attack trajectory.
It cost him a lot of points and spiritual stones to transform the training room.
Points are used for transaction fees between planes and intermediary fees for system errands and liaisons. Spirit stones are mainly used to purchase specialties and ores from the cultivation world that are exchanged with those plane merchants.
Although the cost was high, after the renovation was completed, the training room's praise immediately increased. Many guests praised the newly upgraded equipment, and even the game system sent a reminder of the new completion level.
The upgraded martial arts room has added 3% to the resort's completion level. The overall completion level is now 58%, which is 42% short of 100%.
There is still a lot of completion to meet the requirements of a resort hotel, but at least Shen Zening learned through the renovation of the training room that renovating and upgrading will also increase the completion. The acquisition of completion is not limited to new facilities and new projects. Considered an increase.
After finishing his work, he finally had time to prepare snacks for the children in the kindergarten.
He didn't have much free time before, so he only made ordinary cakes and cookies, which were relatively convenient and simple snacks. Now that he had some free time, he wanted to make one that looked cute and could poke the little ones. A little dessert that the kids love.
Now the number of children in the kindergarten has increased to twelve, which is almost the size of a small class.
Shen Zening plans to make some lemon cakes with lemon peel as the base, colorful cake rolls and soy milk pudding today.
I have to make twelve servings of each of these, and even Bai Yang came over to help.
The couple worked hard for almost two hours before preparing the three desserts and putting them into small boxes one by one, ready to take them to the children.
But when they were walking towards the kindergarten, Shen Zening suddenly remembered that soy milk pudding should be eaten with a small spoon, but he and Bai Yang had missed this point when they were busy and did not put in the disposable dessert spoon.
They have always prepared small cutlery for him over there, but I don't know if other children have it.
At this moment, they happened to pass by the back kitchen. Shen Zening asked Bai Yang to wait for him in the verandah, and went directly to the back kitchen to get some take-out tableware to put on top first.
Boss Shen, who is very budget-conscious, thought that the tableware in the back kitchen was wholesaled directly from the local merchants. If he bought it on the spot from the system mall, he would lose nearly 20% off, which was not cost-effective. It would be better to take two more steps to the kitchen. Forget it.
It was the time when the employees were taking a lunch break. As soon as Shen Zening walked to the back kitchen door, she heard bursts of conversations coming from inside.
"Hey, have you heard that Zhang Hui's son seems to be sick?"
"What? What kind of disease is it? How serious
is it?" "Wait a minute, Zhang Hui still has a son?"
"That's right, aren't you? I told you the wrong person. How could I remember that he wasn't married yet?"
"That's right! I heard what he told Lao Liang this morning!"
...
Zhang Hui?
When Shen Zening heard the name at first, he didn't react. After thinking about it for a while, he remembered that he was one of the waiters in the restaurant. After the hot pot was moved to the third floor some time ago, he seemed to have been assigned to go to the hot pot.
Zhang Hui has children? Still sick? How could he remember that Zhang Hui was still single?
When Shen Zening opened the door and walked in, the employees who had gathered to chat were startled, but they were relieved when they saw that the boss was here.
It's not just that the protagonist of their chat and gossip is here, the boss is fine when he hears it, and they are not fishing while working, and they don't arrange people randomly.
"What's wrong with Zhang Hui?" Shen Zening asked while taking a disposable dessert spoon from the drawer, "What's going on with his child?"
In fact, these employees didn't know much, they just spread gossip to each other.
They heard that Zhang Hui actually had a son. He had been ill recently and was not getting better after seeing the doctor. He had been dragging his feet for almost half a month. He was still gasping for breath every step of the way and had not fully recovered.
When Shen Zening heard this, he felt that it was very similar to the illness of Wang Yuan's wife. Even after seeing a doctor, it was not cured. Could it be that the doctors here in Shuowang City were not good enough and the medical resources were too poor?
You won't meet a fake doctor.
"Do you know how old Zhang Hui's son is?" Shen Zening asked.
If it is a child who is growing, then the disease must not be delayed any longer. When he was a child, he needed to supplement his nutrition to grow taller.
"This..."
Several employees looked at each other.
How do they know how old Zhang Hui's son is? Zhang Hui is not particularly close to other employees and has never heard him talk about his son in the past.
However, they guessed from these rumors that he was not very old, maybe not long after he was born.
Recently, Shen Zening and her little foxes often make snacks for Tiao Tiao and his classmates. Watching the cubs become stronger and healthier, it feels like a sense of accomplishment. When I heard that the employees' children Something might have gone wrong, and his first reaction was to worry about whether the child's body could hold on.
In modern times, he had heard that children in ancient times were prone to die young. Although this was a world of cultivation, generally much richer than ordinary ancient times, and the people's health was better, Zhang Hui was a mortal after all, not a monk, a mortal. It is still somewhat dangerous if a child is sick.
Seeing that these employees didn't know much about the situation, he took the tableware and sent the desserts to the kindergarten with Bai Yang. After playing with Tiao Tiao for a while, he thought about asking Zhang Hui to ask what was going on. Something happened at home.
Since the opening of the hotel, Shen Zening has been very good to the employees, and the benefits are also high.
If you have any difficulties, just talk to your boss, maybe it will be solved!
However, after he came out of the kindergarten, he was in vain. Zhang Hui was not in the hotel at all at this time.
"He asked for leave." Xue Yun flipped through the records and said, "I took a whole day today. He said he had something to do at home and had to go back."
Zhang Hui usually lives in the staff dormitory, and he came here to work She hadn't been home for several months. When she came to ask for leave yesterday, Xue Yun was a little surprised.
However, she didn't ask about other people's personal affairs in detail. Seeing that Zhang Hui rarely asked for leave, she happily approved it.
"Do you know that Zhang Hui's son is sick?" Shen Zening asked Xue Yun, while looking through the leave records of other employees.
"...Huh?"
Xue Yun seemed even more surprised than him, "Isn't Zhang Hui not married?"
Generally, employees who are married will choose to live at home. Only a few of them live a little further away, or they don't need him or her at home. Only those who help will save trouble and live in the staff dormitories.
At that time, Zhang Hui chose the dormitory without thinking. Xue Yun also briefly asked about his family situation during the interview. Zhang Hui never mentioned that he had a son.
Shen Zening told Xue Yun what she had just heard and asked her to wait until Zhang Hui comes back tomorrow to ask carefully what the disease is and whether she needs help from the hotel.
Xue Yun agreed and wrote down the matter, but before she could find time to ask Zhang Hui, Zhang Hui himself appeared near the small building the next day.
Shen Zening was preparing to go out in the morning. Before he could walk out of the courtyard gate of the small building, he met Zhang Hui, who was carrying a bag of things and hurriedly walked towards the dormitory.
Zhang Hui looked like he had just returned to the hotel and had not yet changed into work clothes.
He walked in a hurry, hadn't shaved his beard, and there were dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn't slept all day and night, and his whole person exuded an aura of decadence.
Seeing this, Shen Zening quickly stopped him: "Zhang Hui."
Zhang Hui was stunned for a moment before turning back blankly, "Boss?"
Shen Zening first asked him if he had just come back, and then Zhang Hui apologized and said he was late. When he saw it, he quickly stopped him and said it didn't matter. Then he thought about it and asked directly: "Did something happen at home?"
He observed the expression on Zhang Hui's face, saw a trace of nervousness on his face, and immediately asked again Said: "It doesn't matter, just tell me, are you having any difficulties? I heard someone said that your son is sick?"
Zhang Hui hesitated for a long time before nodding.
Then, as if he was very embarrassed, he murmured: "...Yes, it's my son who is sick."
As soon as the conversation started, Zhang Hui seemed to have opened up a chat box and told all about the situation at home.
It turns out that he was actually married a long time ago and his son is five years old. But his family is poor. He works outside all year round and has no time to go back several times throughout the year. He is busy making money to support his family. He talks little and doesn't think about talking to other people. explain.
Recently, my wife asked someone to write me a letter, saying that my son was sick. He was better after seeing the doctor last time, but now his health has deteriorated again, and he has not recovered even after taking medicine for more than half a month.
Now that the weather is getting colder, his son has begun to cough again. He is really worried, so he went home overnight after asking for leave yesterday.
"What kind of disease does your son have? It sounds quite serious." Shen Zening asked, "By the way, where is your home?" Zhang Hui said that his home is in
a small village between Buyun City and Qing'an City. Inside, Shen Zening thought about how he passed by Buyun City when he went to Nanzhou, and it took him most of a day to get there by flying boat. He didn't expect that Zhang Hui's home was even further away.
With this in mind, he asked casually: "Why do you want to come to Shuowang City to find something to do?"
"Shuowang City... is more lively." Zhang Hui said a little shyly.
Indeed, Qing'an City is just a small town, and Buyun City is not like Shuowang City. It is lively and prosperous because of the monthly secrets, and people come and go. It is indeed easier to find a job here.
It seems that the wages are higher than those two cities.
Shen Zening nodded to show that he understood and did not dwell on it anymore.
Since Zhang Hui's home is so far away, it seems that it is not feasible to find a doctor for his son, so he has to help with some medicinal materials and the like.
Zhang Hui said that when his wife was pregnant, the fetus was not very stable, and it took a lot of effort to save it. My son's health has not been very good since he was born. He feels a little sick every time the seasons change, but he didn't expect it to be so serious this year. Even after taking medicine for so long, he doesn't feel better.
...It seems that it is still due to physical deficiencies. No wonder the medicine is okay intermittently. This needs to be replenished.
"You must have spent a lot of money on medicines for your children recently." Shen Zening said, "Do you need to advance your salary?" "
Thank you boss for your kindness." Zhang Hui smiled, but the smile was a little forced. "I have saved my salary before, so I don't need it for the time being."
"Okay." Shen Zening responded, "If you have any difficulties, just tell me. It's quite tiring to go back and forth all night. How about you take a rest before going to work? , I'm not in a hurry right now, there are few people in the morning."
But Zhang Hui still refused to take a rest, even though Shen Zening said he would not deduct his wages for these few hours, he still hurriedly changed into his work clothes and went to the third floor. The hot pot is preparing self-service fruits and adding seasonings.
After lunch, Shen Zening and the little fox were preparing to cook for Tiao Tiao and his classmates as usual. He thought of Zhang Hui's son and planned to make some pastries for him alone that would last longer.
"His son is sick? It's so serious..." Bai Yang was helping Shen Zening knead the dough when he heard Shen Zening talk about it in a chatty manner.
His white fingertips sank deeply into a bowl of floc mixed with butter, powdered sugar, egg liquid, etc., and after a while he skillfully kneaded it into a smooth dough.
He thought that when he lost his memory, he was forced to drink a lot of dark medicinal soup by Mingxuan. After so long, he still felt his mouth tasted bitter when he thought about it. When he heard Shen Zening talk about Zhang Hui's son, he had been in the hospital recently. After drinking the medicine, as a child of only five years old, I became deeply empathic.
...The main thing is to empathize and drink the bitter medicinal soup.
The little fox kneaded the dough, put it on the chopping board, and said to Shen Zening: "Let's make some desserts for him. The kind that makes him sizzle when he eats it. After drinking bitter medicine, his mouth will definitely want to taste something sweet." "
Yeah, of course I have to do it." Shen Zening smiled and scratched the tip of the little fox's nose with her frosted hand, leaving a little white on the straight and delicate bridge of the nose, "That's why I put it in this dough There's so much sugar."
Bai Yang was confused. He didn't expect that Shen Zening would not forget to tease him when they were talking about serious things. He immediately fought back and slapped Shen Zening hard with his big fluffy tail. He put his hand with powdered sugar on his nose before continuing: "Is this for Zhang Hui's son? I thought it was for the kindergarten." What
they are making now are tulip cookies.
First, Shen Zening sliced the fresh strawberries and cut them into tulip shapes. Then, assistant Bai Yang helped knead the dough, rolled it out, and then used a mold to press out lacy dough sheets about five centimeters in diameter.
80% dried strawberry slices and rosemary are used to create the shape of flowers and leaves, and then baked in the oven.
Shen Zening also deliberately covered the baking sheet with tin foil during the last five minutes of baking to ensure that the strawberries would be baked brightly and beautifully, and the color of the biscuits would also be a light creamy yellow.
The two of them thought it was for sick children, so they made some special arrangements to serve it.
In order to ask Zhang Hui to bring more food for his son, Shen Zening continued to make shelf-stable cranberry juice gummies, adding a lot of chopped nuts and some small bread that could be stored for several days.
After these were cooled, I packed them up with the little fox in the packaging bags with cartoon groups bought from the system store.
In the end, all these desserts were put together, almost unable to fit into the large paper box I bought specially.
While doing this, they didn't miss any snacks on the strips. Together they made some coconut milk osmanthus cakes, cheese sticks, and chocolate wafer biscuits.
Before sending the desserts to the kindergarten, Shen Zening first went to see Xue Yun and Shen Yi, then asked the staff for their opinions, arranged the shift, and decided to give Zhang Hui another day off and let him take the food back. To my son.
The employees all knew that Zhang Hui had been worried about his son's illness recently, and they sympathized with him. They just took one more day off, so they took the initiative to take over his shift.
After the staff made arrangements, Xue Yun directly asked Zhang Hui to go back to the staff dormitory to rest and pack his things. Worried that he would not be willing to take a better flying boat back, he even reimbursed the transportation expenses.
Starting from the small building, he went to the staff dormitory and the kindergarten on the same route. Since it was on the way, he simply sent Tiao Tiao their desserts to the kindergarten, and then took the snacks specially made for Zhang Hui's son to Zhang Hui's son. Hui.
During activity time every afternoon, what Tiao Tiao looks forward to most is the presence of his father and daddy appearing outside the activity room.
Of course, he also had to carry the snacks he had been reading all morning!
Today, my father and dad also brought a lot of snacks. Not only were they greedy, but the children nearby were also slobbering and obediently waiting for the teachers to distribute the desserts.
After Tiao Tiao took the small desserts brought by his father and dad in person, he saw with sharp eyes a beautiful big paper box next to them.
He sniffed subconsciously and smelled the sweet aroma of baking. His eyes lit up: "Father, what are these? They are also for us!"
Wow, what a good day it is today, there are extra snacks!
The dragon tails behind Tiao Tiao all waggled in anticipation. Shen Zening helplessly patted Tiao Tiao's wagging little tail and said, "Okay, Shen Xiaoyun, why are you looking more and more like a puppy? This is not for you. Uncle Zhang Hui's son is sick, so he made it for his little brother at home." Tiao
Tiao didn't remember who Zhang Hui was, after all, he had never met him a few times, but he learned from his father's words. Knowing that a child about his age was sick, he asked anxiously: "Is it serious?"
"It's okay, it's not serious, just raise him and he will be fine." Bai Yang said, pinching Zaizai's face.
Every time his father came over with his father, he would pinch his own face. Liao Liao was already used to it, and he also moved the soft little face on the other side. Bai Yang pinched his itchy hands and slurred his words, "... ...Hmm...then write a letter to the little brother from the Shu family!"
"Write a letter?" Shen Zening asked curiously, "You don't even know him, what are you going to write?"
"Just wish him a speedy recovery. Yeah." Tiao Tiao said seriously.
Pei Nian and Little Rabbit Demon nearby heard this and also said they wanted to write a letter together.
In the end, the three little dumplings carefully wrote a crooked letter together, wishing their little brother a speedy recovery.
Of course, most of the characters could not be written, but to show their sincerity, Tiao Tiao and the little rabbit demon changed back to their original forms and stamped them.
Pei Nian was from the human race and had no original shape, so he couldn't seal it, so he had to draw a small flower on it.
Shen Zening hugged and praised the thoughtful note for a while, then moved the heads of Pei Nian and Little Rabbit Demon before putting the letter in a cardboard box and sending it to Zhang Hui.
When he and Bai Yang arrived at the staff dormitory, Zhang Hui seemed to be changing clothes. He was startled when he heard their knock on the door, and it took him a long time to look at the door.
Shen Zening didn't exchange too many greetings with him and handed the carton into his hand.
"This is specially prepared for your son." Shen Zening explained, "The snacks I made by myself should help your son's health gradually improve. Don't save food, I won't make it if it's not enough." "
Boss, this is , How can this be so embarrassing..."
Zhang Hui didn't dare to accept such a big box, and kept evading it, "You're too troublesome, just take care of my kid."
"You've done it, just take it."
Seeing him, he didn't Then, Shen Zening put him directly on his bed, turned around and ran away with the little fox. This time, he didn't give Zhang Hui any chance to refuse.
When Zhang Hui came back on the third day, he already had a smile on his face and was in better spirits.
Looking at it, Shen Zening knew that his son's health might be gradually getting better. He took the time to ask Zhang Hui and found out that it was indeed the case. With the doctor's prescription and those snacks with spiritual energy to replenish his energy, His son's body is no longer as weak as before.
"Just get better slowly." Shen Zening patted his shoulder, "You can also relax a little and don't worry too much."
The food he made with the bonus of [Dragon's Blessing] was good for As a mortal son of Zhang Hui, although it is impossible for a mortal to absorb spiritual energy and practice it, it can be regarded as a tonic.
If he is raised like this for a few more days, his son's health will definitely get better and better.
"Thank you, boss. Thank you very much." Zhang Hui said, with some tears in the corners of his eyes, "Our family has three generations of single generation, and we are the only one. Boss, you are really the savior of our family!" "..."
Hearing this
Shen Zening frowned slightly at Zhang Hui's choice of words, but maybe some mortals really paid attention to the issue of incense, so he didn't say anything more, just chatted for a few words and left.
Shen Zening thought that Zhang Hui's son's condition was slowly improving and the matter would be over.
As a result, a few days later, Zhang Hui's complexion became bad again. He was once seen going to work without shaving and with dark circles under his eyes.
Did something happen to his son again?
Shen Zening felt a little strange. Are those snacks useless to his son? impossible.
He was about to find time to ask Zhang Hui, but before he could find anyone to ask about the situation, some uninvited guests came outside the hotel.
It was not necessarily true that they were uninvited guests. Those men wearing shorts and looking fierce were actually here to see Pei Zhaosu.
At the moment, Pei Zhaosu was visiting his nephew in the kindergarten and discussed some matters with Shen Zening.
Pei Nian seemed to like spending time with the children in the kindergarten, especially playing with Tiao Tiao. He always made a face after being picked up by Pei Zhaosu's men after school every afternoon.
In fact, Pei Zhaosu didn't have much time to coax his nephew. Seeing that he was unhappy at home and thinking about kindergarten every day, he wanted to ask if he could board here and let Pei Nian go home once every ten days.
While they were discussing this matter, Pei Nian nodded repeatedly.
Shen Zening and Bai Yang were still a little hesitant about raising such a young child here.
Tiao Tiao and Pei Nian stood together. He looked happier than Pei Nian after hearing about this. "Father, daddy, please let Pei Nian stay here." "
Where do you live?" Bai Yang smiled and touched. Touching Tiao Tiao's little dragon's corner, "There is only a place for naps in the kindergarten." "
Then...then you can sleep with me!" Tiao Tiao said, "My bed is so big! There is room for three Pei Nians. ! You can sleep when Mianmian comes!"
Mianmian was talking about the little rabbit demon, and the three of them often played together.
They didn't know who came up with this nickname, but the name of the little rabbit demon was almost forgotten by them, and everyone just kept calling it out.
Unexpectedly, after Tiao Tiao said this, Pei Nian immediately said: "No, it's very small, I can't lie down."
Tiao Tiao: "?"
Tiao Tiao: "It's really okay! I can add another Mian Mian!"
Pei Nian : "..."
Shen Zening interrupted the conversation between the two cubs dumbfounded. Just when he was about to tell Pei Zhaosu that he and Bai Yang would discuss it carefully. After all, letting other people's children board is a big deal, when Pei Zhaosu's men suddenly Came here.
The subordinates first whispered a few words to Xiao Zhi, and then Xiao Zhi conveyed these words to Pei Zhaosu.
After hearing this, Pei Zhaosu raised his long eyebrows slightly, turned his eyes with twinkling eyes, and said to Shen Zening and Bai Yang,
"There seems to be a little trouble in your hotel."
