A Bite of Douluo Continent

Just imagining adding a spoonful of salt to the smooth, sweet, and refreshing tofu pudding with a hint of osmanthus fragrance, then adding all sorts of strange and wonderful seasonings, and finally sprinkling on some chopped green onions, turning that wonderful flavor into nothing more than the taste of green onions, made Yun Qing feel as if the whole world had gone dark.

How could you do that!

This is heresy!

Yun Qing felt a deep-seated resistance, and he even felt that if he were to eat such a salty tofu pudding, he would definitely want to vomit.

"Snapped!"

Dan patted his forehead helplessly. Yun Qing's resolute resistance was exactly the same as his own resistance to the bursting fatty intestines. He realized that it was now a pipe dream to persuade Yun Qing to try savory tofu pudding.

“Never mind…” Dan sighed softly, silently giving up trying to persuade him.

"No, we can't give up!" Yun Qing shook her head violently. "Mr. Dan, please try the sweet tofu pudding. I'm sure you'll like it..."

"No way!" Dan shuddered and shook his head firmly. "I will never eat sweet tofu pudding in my life!"

evil ways!

Sweet tofu pudding is a heretical practice!

He gave Yun Qing a deep look, then turned and walked in the other direction.

No, I need to stay away from this guy.

That's horrible! How could anyone in this world like to eat sweet tofu pudding?!

The thought of sprinkling sugar into smooth tofu pudding, adding a strange sweetness to the wonderful bean flavor, sent a shiver down Dan's spine.

Oh my god! This is terrible!

“Da…” Yun Qing opened her mouth, watching Da En’s figure leave without hesitation, and finally sighed softly.

Poor Mr. Dan, he so stubbornly supports such a terrible thing as salty tofu pudding.

Adding salt to tofu pudding?

Just thinking about Yun Qing is terrifying. Would a normal person really like something like this?

Sure enough, Mr. Dan is not quite right!

After standing still for a moment, Yun Qing turned and walked in another direction.

Mr. Dane was a polite and kind gentleman, and I had a very good first impression of him.

but!

At that moment, the image of this man in her mind collapsed instantly.

How can anyone like savory tofu pudding?

Mr. Dan must be abnormal.

He suddenly remembered what his mother had told him when he was a child.

...

"Xiao Qing, there are all kinds of people in this world. If you encounter some strange fellows while traveling, be sure not to associate with them."

"Mom, I remember that word was 'various kinds'..."

"You mustn't be lewd!"

"Oh... okay then, Mom, don't worry, I definitely won't associate with those weirdos!"

...

Sure enough, Mr. Dane is the strange person my mother described.

Hmm... then I won't be able to have fun with Mr. Dan anymore!

Chapter 384 Mo Ran's Anxiety

Qi Han was completely unaware that the sweet vs. savory debate was brewing.

Admittedly, when he was buying the cookbook, he had a mischievous thought about whether the sweet vs. savory debate would appear in Douluo Continent.

But he really didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

The first breakfast caused quite a stir, as there were eleven brand-new dishes for the diners of the Cold Food Festival. Moreover, these dishes were mostly staple foods, filling, delicious, and relatively inexpensive.

For diners who can be delighted for days by a new dish, this is simply double the joy.

Because the opening hours are so early, there are fewer diners during breakfast compared to lunch and dinner, but it's just as busy.

During the morning's business operations, Ji Yunruo gradually went from being unfamiliar with the work to becoming skilled and composed.

During breakfast hours, the proportion of Tang Clan disciples among the diners is higher; almost the entire branch comes to eat breakfast. Ji Yunruo, being a Tang Clan disciple herself, is less nervous in front of so many senior brothers and sisters, and adapts more quickly.

Of course, Gulu also deserves credit for this.

Because their martial souls and Gulu's bloodline originate from the same clan, Ji Yunruo and Gulu have the best relationship and the most tacit cooperation among the shop assistants. This was not noticeable when Ji Yunruo was a delivery person, but now that she has become a waitress, her tacit understanding with Gulu is obviously higher than that with Fuya.

Ye Lingqing, who had been helping Qi Han in the kitchen for the entire two hours of business, was truly amazed.

Although he can only help with kneading dough for now, he has already benefited greatly from observing and learning, and occasionally asking questions.

The teacher is right. The rolling pin is really different from what I thought; it's a very useful kitchen tool!

During the two hours, the teacher used the rolling pin over a hundred times, far exceeding the frequency of use of other dough-making and kitchen utensils.

This made his desire to learn how to make various kinds of noodles even stronger.

The establishment of breakfast opening hours naturally had a significant impact on Qi Han.

He originally entered the training space in the morning and afternoon each day.

These days, breakfast business takes up half the morning, and after breakfast business ends, it is the best time to teach Ye Lingqing various noodle-making skills, so it should not be wasted.

As a result, after teaching Ye Lingqing, it was already noon, so the only time to practice cooking was in the training space in the afternoon.

The training time was only half of what it used to be, but fortunately, as an intermediate chef, his training time flow rate doubled again, which just offset the negative impact.

As for the late-night snack time, it's considered extra business hours and doesn't have a significant impact on Qi Han.

Sleeping late won't affect waking up early the next day. After all, sleeping on Ruyi's high-tech bed for just one hour is enough to fully recharge you, so the amount of sleep you get isn't that important.

Of course, Qi Han's displeasure was also genuine.

Even capitalists would shed tears if they had to work eight hours a day.

Although side quest seven only requires breakfast and midnight snacks to sustain you for thirty days to complete.

But once something happens, it will happen again. Once you open the door to breakfast and late-night snacks, it will be extremely difficult to cancel them later.

And wouldn't it be a waste to not use all these recipes I bought?

So, barring any unforeseen circumstances, breakfast and late-night snacks will become regular business hours from now on.

Thinking of this, Qi Han, who was standing quietly watching Ye Lingqing roll out the dough, suddenly sighed.

孽 孽!

"Teacher, did I do something wrong just now?" Hearing Qi Han's sigh, Ye Lingqing nervously stopped what she was doing.

"It's alright. You've grasped the key points I just taught you quite well. Just keep practicing." Qi Han forced a smile. "I sighed because of something else."

"Okay, teacher." Ye Lingqing nodded and continued her practice.

Gu needs to work even harder to help the teacher solve problems!

Qi Han glanced at Ye Lingqing, who was still busy, nodded, and quietly left the kitchen.

Breakfast service has been closed for a while now, and it's almost 10 o'clock. In another half hour, the staff will start to arrive... Huh?

As Qi Han stepped out of the kitchen, his gaze fell upon a young man standing outside the door, and he raised an eyebrow.

Why is this new employee, Mo Ran, here so early?

...

Mo Ran was wearing the same work clothes as the waiter uniform that Ke Ke used to wear. The long-sleeved shirt, vest and bow tie made his originally thin figure look more upright and he looked more energetic than before.

Of course, that handsome face also became even more dashing.

However, his handsome face was now filled with a look of trepidation.

Yesterday afternoon, she successfully applied for a job and received her own work uniform. However, Mo Ran was inexperienced and forgot to ask what her job actually entailed.

Although he had observed other restaurants for a while and roughly understood what the job of a waiter entailed, Hanshi, as the best restaurant in Shrek City, must have higher requirements for its waiters than other restaurants.

So he arrived half an hour earlier than the agreed time today, just to be able to find out the situation in advance.

This morning's breakfast hours would have been a better time for him to observe and learn, but because he was dealing with many matters related to leaving the team at the Shrek City Great Soul Arena, he was delayed and by the time he arrived, Hanshi had already closed.

After all, it is the Golden Soul Team, and the procedures for personnel transfers are quite complicated.

Standing in front of the Cold Food Festival gate, he was in a dilemma again.

It was only then that he remembered that the doors and windows of the Cold Food Festival were not open to the view inside.

So he had no idea whether the boss was on the first floor or not.

Just knocking on the door like that?

If the boss isn't on the first floor, he probably won't hear his knocking.

Why don't we give it a try?

Having made up her mind, Mo Ran took a few steps forward and reached out to knock on the door, only to find that the door suddenly moved.

He was startled and took a small step back. Then he saw the door of the Cold Food Festival shop slowly open.

"You're here so early?" Qi Han greeted the new employee with a smile.

"Yes, boss, this is my first day working here, so I'd like to know exactly what the job entails as a waiter/waitress," Mo Ran said earnestly.

Hearing this, Qi Han nodded approvingly, "Since you're here, come on in. Let me tell you, the others probably won't be here so soon."

"Mmm." Mo Ran nodded, quickly entered Hanshi through the half-open door, and carefully looked around the empty first floor. "Boss, do I work on the first floor like Fuya?"

"No, Fuya on the first floor is enough." Qi Han smiled slightly. "You should know that Hanshi Restaurant will be offering hot pot today, right?"

"I know that." Mo Ran nodded, then pointed to herself somewhat blankly, "Boss, what do you mean?"
