Gu Xiaoyou squeezed her shoulders and said earnestly: "Have a good rest at noon and afternoon. You must combine work with rest."

"What you said makes sense." Mrs. Zhou sighed, knowing that she couldn't stand up to Gu Xiaoyou.

Gu Xiaoyou smiled, squeezed Ms. Zhou's shoulders, and walked to the kitchen: "Sister Zhou, you must be tired too. Arrange them and let's go and rest together."

"You..." Mrs. Zhou shook her head helplessly and followed Gu Xiaoyou's instructions and walked towards the back kitchen.

"Hehe." Gu Xiaoyou smiled successfully and greeted the guys who were still cleaning up the shop: "You guys also come to the back kitchen."

"Yes, boss." The guys responded and followed Gu Xiaoyou into the back kitchen.

In the back kitchen.

Several cooks were eating around the pot table. When they saw Gu Xiaoyou and Mrs. Zhou coming in, followed by the waiters, they thought the shop was busy again and quickly put down their chopsticks.

A cook wiped his mouth: "Is there another order?"

"I'll cook this meal as soon as I finish it." Another cook anxiously put the rice into his mouth.

"If you don't have an order, don't be in a hurry, just eat slowly." Gu Xiaoyou said quickly.

The cooks breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn't take any chopsticks. They were still afraid that another guest would not have time to cook.

When Gu Xiaoyou saw this, he immediately told him his purpose.

"Our breakfast shop will be open until midnight, close at midnight, and open again in the afternoon. You can rest during this period."

The cooks didn't expect such an arrangement. They looked at each other in surprise and smiled.

In the past, I was busy from morning to night every day in a restaurant, but now I have gained a lot of experience in Boss Gu's shop. Not only are the recipes new, I even have a few hours of rest during work.

Of course, some cooks asked in confusion: "Aren't we the guests who missed lunch?"

"Don't worry, I have my own arrangements. You just need to take care of the breakfast shop." Gu Xiaoyou replied calmly.

"Okay, you all should rest. Just as I arranged two days ago, the cook and maids will rest in the backyard of the shop next door, and the cooks and waiters will rest in the backyard. When the time comes, I will call you."

At this time, a handyman raised his hand and asked: "The little one doesn't want to rest, the little one wants to serve food."

After hearing this, Gu Xiaoyou nodded and said: "It's okay, you can arrange it. Anyway, this period of time is free time for you. Whether you want to rest, work, or go home, you have to do it before opening the store in the afternoon."

Come back, do you hear me clearly?"

"Listen clearly!" everyone responded in unison.

"Okay, you can continue eating." Gu Xiaoyou said to the cooks, then turned to look at the others: "You can eat lunch in the backyard of the paper shop, or cook it yourself in the kitchen, I don't care."

After saying that, he put his arms around Mrs. Zhou's shoulders and said, "Let's go rest and I'll make you something delicious."

"I've recently researched a few more foods, please try them for me..."

Gu Xiaoyou and Zhou walked away while talking.

Everyone in the store looked at each other, couldn't help but smile, discussed with each other what to do during the break, and then went their separate ways.

The breakfast shop that had been busy all morning gradually became quiet.

At this time, some customers who came to the book club to pursue books remembered what Gu Xiaoyou said about the gourmet shop and went to the opposite street to have a look.

I saw the first store at the corner of the street with a plaque hanging high with the words "Breakfast Shop" written on it.

The customer strolled over and when he reached the door, he saw that the store door was locked and there was a sold out sign on it.

"Sold out so quickly?" A trace of annoyance flashed in the customer's eyes.

Just as I was about to leave, I found a notice on the wall next to the door.

I saw it written in black and white on the notice, the business hours are: open at the beginning of the Chen hour and close at the Si hour; open at the Shen hour, close at the You hour, and closed at other times. You are welcome to choose the correct time to dine.

"It's a bit interesting." The guest was happy, it seemed that he would be able to catch the evening meal.

With this thought in mind, he put his hands behind his back and walked calmly towards the book club.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the breakfast shop opened on time.

As soon as the waiter opened the door, he saw a group of people gathered around the door.

When they saw the door open, they all rushed to get in.

When the waiter saw this, he closed the door and shouted loudly: "Everyone, please line up. Customers with number plates please go to the front."

With that said, the waiter called the other waiters and put the bench to the door: "Please take a seat and come in in order, thank you."

Upon hearing this, the guests lined up in twos and threes and sat down on the benches.

The waiter served tea to the queuing customers, and the customers who had received the number plate had already entered the door first. The rest of the customers were drinking tea and waiting at the door, and they were in a good mood.

The queue moved forward slowly, and the guests slowly entered the door. They received warm hospitality as soon as they entered, and they immediately forgot about the trouble of waiting.

At this time, the waiter received a guest with a book in his hand. The waiter stepped forward smartly and said with a smile: "Are you a guest from the book club?"

"Yes." The guest said, picking up the book in his hand: "I just bought it from the book club."

The waiter raised his eyebrows and said a little more cordially: "Our boss has told us that guests from the book club must be treated specially. Would you like to eat and read in the private room on the second floor, or dine in the lobby?"

The guest felt a little relieved when he heard this. Boss Gu was quite considerate in his work.

"Let's go to the private room." The guest smiled.

"Okay, please come this way." The waiter half-hunched over and politely led the guest to the second floor.

The guest followed the waiter to a very elegant private room. In the private room, there was a screen painted with ink paintings, which blocked out the sound outside the door.

Behind the screen is a round table, with a white porcelain vase and a chrysanthemum placed in the center of the table. There is a corner cabinet by the window. According to the waiter's introduction, there are pens, inks, paper and inkstones in it for guests to use.

Compared with the lobby, the private room was obviously much brighter, and the guests noticed that there were many lamps placed in the room.

The waiter patiently waited for the guest to look around the room, then handed over the menu: "Please order."

"Okay, okay." The customer took the menu and looked through it. When he saw the food that he was longing for, he immediately ordered it.

The clerk took down the order and submitted the bill. The customer asked curiously: "Don't you charge for paper and pen?"

"No, the boss said it would be provided for free," the waiter replied with a smile.

"How generous." The guest smiled and happily paid for the meal.

Soon the snacks were served to the table, and the guests rolled up their books and started reading while eating the evening meal.

When the guest saw an interesting plot in the book, he subconsciously wanted to discuss it with someone. As soon as he opened his mouth, he suddenly remembered that he was not in the book club, so how could anyone come to discuss it.
