Chapter 22 Efficiency First
Time is life, efficiency is money.

Gao Yi, who has always been a man of action, found the largest supermarket in Suakoko that day. He found the only existing Chinese owner in the supermarket and settled everything in five minutes.

For three thousand dollars a year, the supermarket owner was very happy to rent the restaurant to Gao Yi, and then gave Gao Yi three boxes of instant noodles worth ten dollars a box for free.

After returning to the hotel, Gao Yi first found several hotel owners and asked them to help exchange some cash.

Gao Yi had too little cash with him. If he wanted to open a restaurant, he would need to pay a rent of one thousand dollars first, so Gao Yi exchanged two thousand dollars in cash from several timber merchants.

Transfer the money from the bank to the timber merchant's account, and the timber merchant will just pay in cash.

Initially, several bosses were unwilling to change, but after learning that Gao Yi was planning to open a restaurant, they even ignored the risk of being cheated and decisively took out the cash, saying that if it was not enough, they could take more at any time, and they would not charge any handling fees.

These are the things Gao Yi did that day.

The next day, Gao Yi spent twelve dollars and hired twelve local people to clean the house for him for a day.

On the third day, the seasonings and three cast iron pots that Luca bought in Monrovia arrived, and the locals hired by Gao Yi continued to clean up.

The third day was extremely efficient. The hotel owners thought that the local people were too inefficient, so a total of seven guests from the hotel volunteered to help Gao Yi clean the kitchen, build three stoves in the backyard, and find a car to transport a lot of wood scraps to use as firewood.

On the third day, Gao Yi's restaurant was ready to open.

This is a real restaurant. It not only has a room, but also has two round tables and four square tables in the room.

The iron pot stew needs to be on fire the whole time, and the chicken can be put on the pancake after it is cooked. However, it is obviously not possible to eat around a stove in a hot restaurant without air conditioning.

It’s not that Gao Yi didn’t think things through, but he had no other choice. It would be easier to just bring the plate of fried chicken to the table, but he had to know how to cook it.

So Gao Yi's solution was to dig a hole in the middle of the three tables, stew the chicken and make the pancakes in an iron pot in the backyard, then bring the whole iron pot to the restaurant, put it on the table with the hole, and then just open the lid and start eating.

Except for the lack of fire below, everything else is almost the same. Anyway, I can deal with it by making do with it.

On the third day, the bosses got into an argument after a day of hard work.

"Your idea is wrong. You can stew pork ribs or goose in an iron pot, but how can you stew chicken in an iron pot? Listen to me, make dry fried chicken, this is the easiest!"

The fat boss Lin knows a lot about food, and it is said that he is worth at least tens of millions. But at this moment he wants to show off his cooking skills and invite everyone to taste the dry-fried chicken, a delicacy from his hometown.

The boss who initially just wanted to set rules for Gao Yi but changed his attitude when he learned that Gao Yi was going to open a restaurant was named Wang. It was said that his wealth even exceeded that of Boss Lin, and he had three younger brothers, so he spoke the loudest.

"Dry fried chicken? I've never heard of it. Have you ever tried spicy chicken? Stir-fried chicken is also good! It's definitely delicious. I'll kill the sheep tomorrow and stew it. Today, my brother will make spicy chicken for you to try."

The supermarket owner said anxiously, "Three pots, cook them all. Since today is a chicken feast, I'll treat everyone to chicken soup. Chicken soup made with local chickens is so delicious that it's so delicious that it's hard to resist."

Gao Yi couldn't bear it any longer, he said seriously: "Boss, I want to open a shop, please try the food!"

Boss Gao spoke, and the other bosses were speechless. Finally, Boss Lin reluctantly said, "Then we'll have dry fried chicken tomorrow. Today, we'll have stir-fried chicken, Boss Chen's iron pot stewed chicken, and then some chicken soup, that's fine too."

The chicken has been killed, the plan has been drawn up, three pots, three stoves, everyone works together and progress is rapid.

Then when Gao Yi was planning to try his skills, someone else robbed him of the job that should have belonged to him.

Boss Lin looked at Gao Yi's unfamiliar and flustered behavior and finally couldn't help but said, "Hey, Boss Chen, I've eaten iron pot stew before. What you did is not right. The chicken pieces you cut are too small, and you didn't blanch them. Come on, look at me..."

Gao Yi realized that he should open a cafeteria instead of a restaurant.

Whoever comes to eat has to cook and serve himself, wash his own plates and bowls, and pay the bill in the end.

Gao Yi, who had nothing to do, decided to learn from them. As long as he watched these people cook a few meals, he might be able to become a chef here.

Of course, the premise is to fool the locals.

Smoke from the cooking stove rose up and everyone was laughing and talking. Just when everyone was looking forward to having a big meal, someone quietly came to Gao Yi who was trying to learn something from him.

"Hello, Boss Chen."

Gao Yi turned around and looked at the person who greeted him, and it turned out to be the hotel guest he met for the first time today.

They are both Chinese, but this person had never met Gao Yi before. Perhaps because of the temptation of delicious food, he came here with Lao Lin and the others today.

He looked to be in his thirties, a little shorter than Gao Yi, but very strong. He was wearing a quick-drying shirt and had a side part in his hair. He looked quite honest.

"My name is Lin Xianghua, nice to meet Boss Chen."

Gao Yi nodded and said politely: "Boss Lin, hello, hello, from now on..."

Before Gao Yi finished his polite words, Lin Xianghua shook his head and said, "I'm not the boss. I'm an employee. I'm here to check on behalf of the boss."

It is the same identity as Gao Yi's.

Gao Yi smiled and said, "He is also a boss, he is also a boss. Where is Boss Lin from?"

Lin Xianghua speaks relatively standard Mandarin and sounds like a northerner, but occasionally he speaks a few words with an accent, sounding like a southerner.

Gao Yi asked casually, but Lin Xianghua immediately said: "Oh, I am from the south of China. Uh, Boss Chen, I have something wrong now and I would like to ask you for help." "Go ahead, go ahead."

Lin Xianghua said in embarrassment: "Well... my boss asked me to come and see if the business here is good. I have been here for half a month, and it doesn't look good. Then yesterday my boss suddenly said that he didn't plan to do business here anymore and asked me to go back, but he has spent all the money he gave me..."

Gao Yi still had a smile on his face, but his heart was already filled with alarm.

Lin Xianghua said helplessly: "Boss Chen, you opened a store here, and I see that you are alone and you can't handle it. How about I give you a job? I don't ask for a high salary. You can just give me... three hundred, three hundred dollars a month, how about that?"

Gao Yi was a little surprised because he thought Lin Xianghua wanted to borrow money.

But Lin Xianghua didn't want to borrow money, he wanted to work.

Living in a hotel that pays four hundred dollars a day, and now asking for a job that pays three hundred dollars a month?

What is this? Is it that great minds think alike, or is it that I have met a fellow human being?
Either Lin Xianghua is a fool, or he thinks Gao Yi is a fool. No matter which one it is, Gao Yi's answer is just two words: get out.

"Excuse me."

Gao Yi shook his head with regret and said, "I just run a small shop, and I really can't afford to hire anyone. Besides, you can see my shop, so there's no need to hire anyone. If you want to earn some money for the furnace, I think you can work for Boss Lin. He needs help right now."

Lin Xianghua was startled, then looked at Lao Lin. He hesitated for a moment and said, "This... uh..."

Gao Yi looked aside after blocking Lin Xianghua's way, and then he said quickly: "Hey, I have to prepare the pancakes. Sorry, I have to go first."

Lin Xianghua stayed where he was, looking embarrassed and not very smart.

Gao Yi suddenly began to doubt his own judgment. If Lin Xianghua was really in the same industry as him, he shouldn't be so stupid, right?
Can a fool be a killer?

When Gao Yi was wondering, Lin Xianghua suddenly made up his mind. Then he walked to Gao Yi and whispered, "Boss Chen, the hotel is too expensive. I will work for you. I don't want any salary, but I just need food and accommodation. Is that okay?"

Is it really that he has nowhere else to go and just wants to have a meal and a place to live?

Gao Yi looked at Lin Xianghua again, he moved closer to Lin Xianghua, sighed, and reached out to pat Lin Xianghua on the back.

It's very hard, and the latissimus dorsi is well developed, but not very big. It's not a muscle that has been specially trained for beauty.

Gao Yi said helplessly: "Brother, it's not that I don't want to help, the key is that we are not familiar with each other, and this place is lawless, I dare not take you in casually, you can ask the other bosses, sorry."

Making intimate gestures but saying words of rejection.

After finishing speaking, Gao Yi immediately said: "It smells so good, I can't wait, is it almost ready?"

Gao Yi felt that his acting was too stiff, but no matter what, he would not keep Lin Xianghua in his store.

This time Lin Xianghua didn't come over again.

All three pots were filled with chicken. The first one to come out of the pot was the stir-fried chicken. Boss Wang shouted happily, "Alright! Bring the pot over first. Come on, come and try my brother's cooking skills first."

Boss Wang didn't cook it himself, but one of his younger brothers is a good cook.

Several people couldn't wait to come to the restaurant and put the iron pot on the table specially designed by Gao Yi. A group of people held chopsticks, and no one sat down. They all stretched out their chopsticks to taste it first.

"Not bad, really good!"

"delicious……"

Once you taste it, you can't stop. If Gao Yi hadn't been thinking about the chicken and pancakes stewing in the pot in the backyard, he would have been reluctant to put down his chopsticks.

But at this moment, the door of the hotel was suddenly pushed open.

Gao Yi turned his head and was stunned, and the other people looked up and immediately froze, stopping the chopsticks in their hands.

A black man in camouflage uniform and beret, with a very strong build, stood at the door of the restaurant. He looked at the people standing around the table, then turned his head to look at the big pot on the table, and suddenly asked, "What are you eating?"

It was in English, and one of Lao Wang’s younger brothers responded in English: “Chicken.”

After a question and an answer, the black man walked to the table, looked at the contents, moved his nose, sniffed hard, nodded, and said, "Very good, it smells good."

Gao Yi didn't say anything. Lao Wang next to him looked at his younger brother, who hesitated for a moment and whispered, "He said it smells good."

Lao Lin laughed and said, "This...this...can you ask him to try it?"

I don’t know if the black man understood what Lao Lin said, he said very seriously: “The general is coming.”

The younger brother immediately said, "He said the general is coming."

Several people looked at each other.

Gao Yi was convinced. He thought his efficiency was high enough, but he didn't expect Gray Horace to be even more efficient. He came directly after smelling the scent.

High, really high.
