After simmering for twenty minutes, the sauce was infused with the rich flavor of chicken, thickened by the starch from the potatoes.

The long, flat noodles were tossed in the bowl, immediately coated in the rich sauce. With one bite, the chewy texture of the noodles was enveloped by the creamy, mealy potatoes.

It wasn’t just a tremendous satisfaction for the palate and the mouthfeel; the joy of carbs instantly swept through their bodies.

’So satisfying!’

Su Chen then demonstrated how to devour a bowl of noodles in three bites.

When he looked up again, the serving bowl was already empty.

Sigh... Six people sharing three servings of noodles only amounted to a small bowl each.

Judging by everyone’s expressions, the noodles were clearly even more popular than the chicken and potatoes.

"Taste test is over. Does anyone have anything to say?" Su Chen said, setting down his bowl and chopsticks.

In reality, one chicken and three servings of noodles was just the right amount for six people; everyone was about seventy or eighty percent full.

It’s just that when faced with such delicious food, most people prefer to eat until they’re stuffed to feel truly satisfied!

"With this flavor, I think a price of 88 yuan per serving is acceptable. The noodles at the end are the perfect finishing touch. If only we could have another serving!" He Shuting said.

Liu Shengnan nodded in agreement. "I thought half a chicken wouldn’t be much, but after adding the potatoes, the portion size is actually pretty good. A regular person would probably have a hard time finishing a single serving on their own."

Everyone was discussing the price of the dish when Ling Shuyu spoke up. "From what I’ve seen today, Boss, it takes you at least half an hour to make one serving of this dish, and that’s a conservative estimate. If you get too many orders at once..."

Su Chen nodded. "We currently have four burners. One for stewing the chicken, and the other three for stir-frying. One chicken can make two servings, so I can produce six servings in half an hour."

As for cooking the noodles, there’s no need to use a high-powered stove; a simple induction cooker or something similar would be enough.

"Alright, then the new dish is tentatively decided. We’ll focus on this dish for the next few days." Su Chen noticed that after he set the price at 88 yuan, the countdown for the main mission on the system panel in his mind had already begun.

He had to sell one hundred servings within a week to complete the mission.

This time, it really all depended on how well Ling Shuyu’s method would work!

"If there’s nothing else, I’ll start assigning tasks."

Su Chen had already figured it all out while he was cooking; now, he was just repeating the thoughts in his head to everyone.

He stuck to the previous model.

The tasks of butchering and stewing the chicken would go to Aunt Fang. The other young women were a bit inept at handling that sort of thing.

Cutting the potatoes would be He Shuting’s job.

Liu Shengnan was the most meticulous, so she would be in charge of the seasonings.

She would portion out the spices Su Chen used into fixed amounts, so they could just grab a pre-measured pack each time they cooked.

"Boss, what about me?" Ling Shuyu asked, tilting her head.

She had thought long and hard before making the decision to quit her job and change careers. Having her very first proposal at Delicious approved gave Ling Shuyu a great sense of satisfaction.

As for money...

During her three years working at Xinghui, Ling Shuyu had already earned more money than she could easily spend.

What she sought was spiritual fulfillment.

"You have a more important job. Don’t forget, you have to take charge of the employee meals for Xinghui. You and Zhang Li can start learning this afternoon after she arrives." Su Chen had a well-thought-out plan for everyone, especially for Ling Shuyu.

If Ling Shuyu and Zhang Li could really handle the employee meals over there, it would save him a huge amount of trouble in the future.

’Lying around doing nothing and earning three or four thousand a day—now that’s what a boss should be doing!’

’Hmm, when I get the chance, I’ll have to slowly hand off the other dishes to people too.’

Seeing that she also had a role, Ling Shuyu nodded in satisfaction.

Once all the jobs were assigned, Su Chen went over a few important points with them.

Not long after, just as everyone was about to get to work.

"Hello~ everyone!"

An unexpected guest arrived at the cafeteria entrance!

It was none other than Zhang Li!

The adorable, short-legged Zhang Li walked happily into the cafeteria carrying a box. "I’m new here, so I brought some small gifts for everyone."

She handed out a small figurine to each person; Su Chen got a Spider-Man.

After passing out the gifts, Zhang Li saw the sparkling clean serving bowl in the middle of the round table and said a little sheepishly, "Oh, I told you all to eat without me. It’s not even mealtime yet, so I’m not hungry at all."

Su Chen gave a slight nod. "Good that you’re not hungry." With that, he stood up and left, not forgetting to take his Spider-Man with him.

’Damn it!’

’Did Aunt Fang mix the noodles that thoroughly? The bowl actually looks clean!’

He Shuting was also embarrassed. "Uh, I’m going to go help cut potatoes. It’s almost noon."

"I’d better go portion out the seasonings. You guys just sit tight."

"I’m going to go chop the chicken and tidy up the kitchen."

Seeing everyone rush off to their respective duties to prepare ingredients, Zhang Li secretly clenched her small fists.

’My choice was definitely the right one!’

’I haven’t even officially started yet, and the entire team has mobilized to prepare ingredients just to welcome me!’

’This work atmosphere is just too good, isn’t it?’

’No wonder President Ling gave up being a director to come work here. Hehe~’

’Hey, President Ling... why isn’t President Ling saying anything?’

"Er... I’ll go clear out a workstation for you. Yeah, that’s right, get it ready for you." Ling Shuyu didn’t dare to meet Zhang Li’s gaze and fled in a panic, clutching the small figurine.

Leaving only Zhang Li in the cafeteria, joyfully immersed in the wonderful atmosphere of her new company.
