Chapter 463: Chef’s Lamb Tripe Grilled Rice


    "Then, do you still need someone in the kitchen? I can...can clean." Hou Yihan didn''t give up yet.


    “The kitchen is not recruiting people.” Ma Lu shook his head.


    ??The kitchen is the most important place in the infinite canteen in the entire universe. There are Valkina people working in it. On weekdays, only Ma Lu and Ma Youyou can go there. Not even He Xiaoqian can go in, let alone Hou Yihan.


    "Oh." Hou Yihan was very disappointed when he heard this. He sniffed hard twice, as if he wanted to smell what delicious food the restaurant would make today.


    Seeing how greedy she was, Ma Lu thought for a while and said, "There is indeed not a shortage of people in the front office and the kitchen, but if you really want to work, there are still some positions..."


    “What position?” Hou Yihan became interested again.


    “Be my life assistant.”


    Hearing this, the girl took two steps back, hugged her chest, and looked wary.


    "What are you thinking about? I just have too many things at hand, and I still have to look after the store. I need someone to help me run errands. You can come back for a staff meal at meal time." Ma Lu said.


    Hou Yihan was relieved after hearing what he said, "Boss, what do you want me to do?"


    “I plan to move in the near future and have looked for several apartments, but it would be a waste of time to look at them one by one. Please help me make a few trips.


    “I’ll send you the phone numbers and WeChat messages of those agencies. When you go there, you can take some photos for me to see how the occupancy rate of the community is, and if the surrounding supporting facilities are inconvenient.”


    "Okay boss." Hou Yihan got the contact information and was about to leave, but was called back by Ma Lu, "Wait a minute, the salary hasn''t been negotiated yet, why are you in a hurry."


    Hou Yihan scratched his head and didn''t hide it anymore, "I''m just here for the food. If you want the money, boss, you can give it to me."


    Ma Lu thought for a moment, "The students who worked part-time in my store before were paid 50 an hour. If you have to run outside, including transportation expenses, it would be 70 an hour. If the work is done well, I will give you a red envelope as a bonus." Yes, how about it.”


    "No problem." Hou Yihan said happily, "I like wandering around the most. I usually run out and look for food when I have nothing to do."


    ? Seeing the girl running out the door in a hurry again, Malu stopped her again, "Oh, oh, oh, don''t worry, it''s already dinner time. You should finish your meal before going out."


    "Okay, okay." Hou Yihan stopped immediately when he heard this and stood there expectantly.


    Staff meals usually differ from what is on the weekly menu.


    What you eat mainly depends on which ingredients are more abundant in the desktop farm recently, but they are all produced by Lao Wang, so there is no need to worry about the quality.


    ??And because Malu himself has to eat, there will be no mistreatment of employees and the tragedy of eating the same thing for several days. Basically, they will change the pattern every day.


    ?For example, what we ate tonight was the chef’s roasted lamb tripe rice. This dish is cooked using the stomach of a scythe.


    According to Lao Wang, it was first invented by a clan of the Sand Lizard people.


    The desert where these Shaxi people live is full of all kinds of dangers, and there is no way to make a fire for cooking. So after hunting the scythe, they take out its stomach pouch, clean it to make a container, and then put other ingredients into it. Stuff it in with the seasonings.


    At noon when the sun is at its strongest, find a piece of sandy land exposed to direct sunlight, bury the sheep''s belly in it, wait for an hour, and the geothermal heat will cook the food in the sheep''s belly, and then you can dig it out and eat it.


    Lao Wang improved this dish to a certain extent on the original basis and turned it into the Chef''s Lamb Tripe Grilled Rice. The main difficulty was simulating the heating of the lamb belly by geothermal heat, which is difficult to accomplish with modern ovens. It took Lao Wang several attempts before he found the right kitchen utensils to cook this dish.


    ?It’s a pity that the cooking process is still too complicated. In addition, Malu has been addicted to medicinal food during this period, so he did not add this dish to the menu.


    ?However, it is precisely because of this that Hou Yihan becomes even more excited when he eats it.


    ??Although the high unit price of Malu''s store put her off, as a big fan of Universe Infinite Canteen, she still paid attention to every move of the restaurant.


    She knew every week''s new dishes by heart, so she knew very well that this dish was not on the menu.


    ?Is the staff meal still a rare hidden version?


    Hou Yihan eagerly filled a bowl, then handed it to Malu first and said respectfully, "Boss, please."


    “Ah, we are all our own people, there is no need to be so open-minded,” Ma Lu took the bowl with a smile.


    “Xiao Hou, it’s not good for you to be like this. It will put a lot of pressure on others. Besides, if you run far away and can’t come back in time for dinner, then no one will serve me food.”


    “Don’t worry, boss, no matter how far away I am, I will definitely come back for dinner!” Hou Yihan said firmly.


    He Xiaoqian on the side also put down her chopsticks when she heard this, "Boss, do you need someone to help you serve the rice? If Xiaohou is not here, I can help you serve it. Well, I might as well help you serve it from now on."


    "Hey, that''s so embarrassing." Malu said this, but his mouth was already twisted with happiness.


    Although capitalism is decadent, it also has its merits.


    ?Ma Youyou hesitated to speak, but finally decided to immerse herself in her work.


    At this time, Hou Yihan''s heart was completely focused on the chef''s lamb belly roasted rice. She was going to serve rice to others, but He Xiaoqian moved faster and had already brought her bowl over. She also filled a bowl full of it.


    Hou Yihan quickly thanked him, took the bowl, and smelled the aroma that hit his face. He couldn''t help it anymore and started to eat it immediately.


    The taste did not disappoint her. The first bite made her feel the unique hot smell of the desert. Every grain of rice was like a small sun, containing amazing heat.


    But the strange thing is that it doesn''t feel dry after eating it. It seems to be because the lamb tripe has locked the moisture in it. And unlike ordinary rice cookers, only the bottom of the pot can be heated. After the lamb tripe is buried in the ground, it can be found in all directions. The heat source heats up very evenly, and the meaty aroma soaks into the rice and side dishes.


    ?Hou Yihan finished the bowl in less than three minutes, then looked at Malu, raised his hand and said, "Boss, can I still eat it?"


    "Of course, since you work in the store, you must have enough food." Malu said.


    ?So Hou Yihan happily served herself another bowl. She ate two and a half bowls in one go before putting down her chopsticks. In the end, she didn''t even dare to drink the water, and she was holding on to the wall when she went out.


    He Xiaoqian waited for her to leave and asked Malu in a low voice, "Are the conditions at Xiaohou''s family not very good?"


    "Ah, it shouldn''t be. She is running around every day, and it doesn''t look like her family has no money." Ma Lu said, "I will ask her when she comes back next time. If the conditions are really not good, I can give her some money." Give her more bonuses.”
