Food: Starting with Wonton Noodles

After the whole night's farce came to an end, Zhou Yu returned home and finally had time to open the system panel to check things out.

Chef System

Today's satisfied customers: 175 (Click to view detailed customer wish list)

[Wishlist tasks claimed/Completed: 1/0]

[Recipe already mastered: (Click to view details)]

(I won't go into detail here, as there will be more and more words later, and key dishes will be mentioned in detail later.)

Today's settlement rewards:

Today's Customer Satisfaction Rewards: [Premium] Dinghu Vegetarian Recipe (to be claimed); Chaoshan Clay Pot Congee (to be claimed)

[Basic Settlement Bonus: If the number of paid customer orders reaches 100 today, the sales revenue will be quadrupled.]

They've actually released another menu with the character "精" (jing, meaning refined or exquisite), and it's even the Dinghu Shangsu from Xiyuan, one of the four traditional famous restaurants!

It seems she's planning to collect all four famous Chinese dishes for herself.

Zhou Yu was pleasantly surprised.

Then there's Chaoshan clay pot porridge, which was also a favorite of Zhou Yu.

There are many types of porridge in Lingnan, and Chaoshan clay pot porridge is one of the best.

Zhou Yu felt that the Chaoshan clay pot porridge he got tonight and the raw congee he got from completing Jiang Yan's wish mission were enough to support him in opening a restaurant.

After all, although both types of porridge are named as one dish, the different side dishes they contain can be considered as a series of dishes.

After clicking to claim the reward, Zhou Yu instantly understood the two recipes.

Satisfied, Zhou Yu clicked again to claim tonight's sales bonus.

"Ding, 5340 yuan has been received via WeChat."

Tonight we sold 133 bowls of wonton noodles, 30 servings of cucumber salad, 30 servings of double-skin milk pudding, and 20 servings of ginger milk curd.

Adding his own revenue of 1780 yuan, Zhou Yu's total income today is 7120 yuan.

"It seems that my daily income is now basically stable at around seven thousand yuan," Zhou Yu thought.

Although the system rewards new recipes every day, there aren't actually many that are suitable for setting up a stall.

Furthermore, following the system's instructions, even if you try to roll the jackpot again, you won't get a higher reward.

Therefore, Zhou Yu was quite content with selling only these four products at his stall each day and with this amount of sales.

If you really want to earn more revenue, instead of trying to increase sales volume yourself, you might as well open a store early and raise the average order value.

With systems in place that allow you to be your own boss, why would you want to work yourself to death like you did before? Are you stupid?

Moreover, the stall has only just been rented, so Zhou Yu is in no hurry at all.

Thinking about it, he opened and checked his wish list again.

But before he could open it, he suddenly noticed a new line of text under the wish list tasks:

[A customer's wish list task has been detected, containing a strong desire to become an apprentice. Please carefully consider whether to accept this customer's wish task. If accepted, the system will unlock the apprenticeship function section.]

[Note: Since the host has no basic chef skills, this feature will only be unlocked after the basic chef skills are successfully unlocked.]

The mentor-apprentice section?

What function is this?

Zhou Yu understood that one needs to have a certain level of basic skills before one can become a teacher and educate students.

After all, his current cooking skills are entirely based on recipes provided by the system, and he doesn't actually have any basic chef skills.

However, once the system was activated, there were no instructions on what functions it had or how to use it, leaving Zhou Yu somewhat conflicted about whether to accept the offer.

He Jiafu's wish task is still occupying a spot on the wish list.

We don't know yet when it will be completed.

If I can't fulfill this customer's wish quickly, wouldn't I be at a huge loss?

After all, you can't give up on a wish quest, and you can only accept three quests at the same time.

It's not very reliable to only have one spot left to handle occasional wish-granting tasks.

Frowning, Zhou Yu opened the Wish Task to check it out.

Let's find out who it is and what the task is.

Wishlist:

Sun Zhigang: I want to make money, lots and lots of money. I must give my family a good life. Zhou Yu's cooking skills tonight were amazing! If I could learn even half of his skills... No, even just his stir-fried beef noodles and wonton noodles would be enough. (Task Reward: Chaoshan Beef Ball Recipe)

Qi Shijie: I've remembered the grudge I suffered at the street vendor's stall tonight. If he continues to run a street vendor business, that's one thing, but if he dares to open a shop in the future, I'll definitely find a way to ruin his business. (Task Reward: A random lost classic recipe)

[Liang Jinhong: Recently, my dad has suddenly gone crazy and started forcing me to learn cooking again. I love to eat, but I really don't want to learn to cook. If only I could get my dad to respect me and stop interfering. (Reward: Winter Melon Soup)]

[Wishlist tasks claimed/Completed: 1/0]

[Note: The wish list only displays and allows users to claim wishes from satisfied customers on the same day. Wish lists cannot be discarded after being claimed. There is no time limit for claiming wishes. Users can claim a maximum of 3 wishes even if they have not completed their tasks. Please choose your wishes carefully.]

Zhou Yu was not too surprised to see Sun Zhigang's name.

He had seen Sun Zhigang's wish mission before, but he didn't expect that his wish would become so strong after only two days.

It seems that what happened tonight really affected him.

Should he accept the offer or not? Zhou Yu was conflicted.

However, unlike the basic chef skill, this time the system panel did not prompt that it would not be opened again if not accepted.

Zhou Yu had also made a decision in his heart.

Let's not take on any tasks for now. We can start teaching Sun Zhigang and observe him for a while.

If the person is indeed of good character and in all other aspects, then he will try to accept the job.

If that doesn't work, then we'll see if this feature can be enabled again in the future.

When Zhou Yu saw the last two wish lists, he frowned.

It seems that the one causing trouble at the night market tonight, the so-called heir of Fengming Tower, is none other than Qi Shijie.

They're still so vengeful, like a persistent ghost.

But why not continue now, instead of waiting until he opens his own shop? Zhou Yu was somewhat puzzled.

However, he immediately realized that it was indeed difficult for Qi Shijie to do anything with a shady business.

Coming over to smash up the shop? If he really had that kind of ability, he wouldn't have only dared to come here for a food-tasting contest tonight.

Moreover, a street vendor might be here today but nowhere tomorrow, so he probably wouldn't have that kind of patience.

But it will be different if you open your own shop later.

The owner of a restaurant like Fengminglou would naturally not own just one restaurant, but would have a series of businesses.

For example, cross-shareholding with local tourism companies or some brand chains.

If I were to open my own shop.

There's no need for any underhanded tactics; open competition is all that's needed to directly target you.

This is indeed the simplest of all open schemes.

But Zhou Yu was not afraid.

Having their own system and being able to anticipate crises in advance through wish tasks, they have no reason to fear this kind of competition.
