Chapter 89. I'll be hungry if I don't eat this dish. It's worth it.

"Come in, come in. How many people are dining here?" Yuan Zixiao stepped forward to greet the two customers who pushed the door open but were not sure whether the restaurant was open or not.

"You, you are not that Yuan..."

"Yes, it's me! We are recording a variety show now. This is our restaurant. Would you like to come in and taste the chef's cooking?" Yuan Zixiao greeted the customer very naturally.

The young girl pulled her best friend behind her, and the two of them walked into the restaurant curiously and began to look around.

Yuan Zixiao arranged seats for them and handed them the menu. "We only have six dishes for now, but they're all superb. You'll know once you try them."

The two girls began to look at the menu, researching what to order. "What is this soft fried ring made of?"

"Actually... it's pig intestines. If you can't accept it, you can order something else, like the Hundred Flowers Tofu Soup or the Lotus Flour Chicken Slices. They're both beautifully presented and delicious. You can try them."

"Okay, then we'll order the two you recommended, but we also want the soft-fried rings, as we love pig intestines. For the main course, I'll have noodles, and my friend will have rice. That's all, thank you, Xiaoxiao." said a girl.

"Wow, did you see that? The person at the front desk looks like Sister Yan, the movie queen!" A girl suddenly pulled her friend.

“Really?”

After a while, Shi Yingying brought lemonade, and the two girls exclaimed in amazement again, both with happy expressions as if a mouse had fallen into a rice warehouse.

Ye Tian and Kong Shen were cooking in the kitchen. Kong Shen was the most proficient in cooking among the people except Ye Tian, and he knew Ye Tian, so Sister Yan arranged for him to help.

Ye Tian had prepared the chicken slices in advance. Just take out a portion and put it in the pot with the side dishes. It can be served on a plate in less than five minutes. Add some hibiscus flowers that have been pinched in advance, and a dish with good color, aroma and taste is served on the table.

"Wow! This dish is so beautiful. Is this flower real?"

When they heard that it was made of dough, one of the girls pinched it with her hand out of uncertainty, and then both of them took out their phones and started taking pictures.

A few minutes later, the soft-fried finger rings were ready, and the julienned tofu was bubbling in the broth. Within 15 minutes, all three dishes were served. Yuan Zixiao consulted the customer and suggested they add the main course. Kong Shen then began to cook the noodles.

The two girls excitedly took photos of all the dishes. "I haven't tried any of these dishes, how about you?" one girl asked her friend.

“Actually, I haven’t seen it either!”

"Then let's try it!"

"Delicious! This pig intestine is super delicious, you should try it!"

"The chicken slices are also delicious. They have the flavor of chicken, but they are much more tender and delicious than eating chicken directly. I wonder how they are made?"

Then, they each filled a bowl of soup and took a sip, finding it delicious!

"I used to think 88 yuan for a bowl of tofu soup was too expensive, but after trying it, I realized it's not expensive at all. The flowers and plants on the tofu cubes are so delicate, and the soup base is chicken broth. It's totally worth it!"

"Yeah, it's a good thing we came in to take a look. We really made a profit today. Do you want an autograph later?"

At this time, the noodles were also served.

"It's such a big bowl, let's each have half!"

"Have you noticed? Not only are the soups and dishes at this restaurant delicious, but the noodles are also fantastic! I wonder who the chef is, but this has to be star-level, right?"

"The chef isn't even coming out of the kitchen. We don't know who the show is looking for, and we're too embarrassed to ask!"

…

The two girls were enjoying their meal very much. At this time, four more guests entered the restaurant, two young men and women and two old people, like a family coming out to eat.

Yuan Zixiao walked forward and greeted him with a smile on his face.

The young man immediately handed the menu to the two elderly people: "Uncle and aunt, let's take a look at what we're eating. This should be a newly opened private restaurant or something. There are very few types of dishes, and there are no pictures. I can't tell what the dishes are from the names."

The young woman recognized Yuan Zixiao and signaled to the man with her eyes, mouthing, "It's a star."

The two older people were the woman's parents. They came out to eat and saw that the restaurant was special, so they wanted to bring their parents in to try it out. They didn't realize that they were being filmed.

Auntie looked at the menu and smiled. "Old Wu, they actually have fried soft-fried rings here. I remember you said you had them once before, and you've always remembered them. I wonder how this restaurant does?"

"Really? If so, let's order one!" The middle-aged uncle was also surprised.

"There are even gift boxes? Let's get one too. The other dishes look like they were once very famous. This restaurant is quite special." After saying that, he handed the menu to the young man opposite, his son-in-law.

The couple looked through the menu together and found that there was really nothing interesting to see. There were only about ten lines of words about juice, so they simply ordered the other four dishes on the menu.

"Five dishes and one soup are a bit too much. Can we finish them?" asked the aunt.

Yuan Zixiao replied: "About the same, our portions aren't very big."

"This price is not cheap!" my uncle sighed.

"We use real ingredients. We use a lot of chicken soup, and several dishes are very complicated. You will know when they are served. In that case, please wait a moment, the four of you. I will go place the order now." Yuan Zixiao was becoming more and more like a waiter.

Ye Tian started to prepare the second table of dishes, and it took only half an hour for everything to be served.

At this time, the first table asked for autographs, took photos, and left excitedly.

The young couple at the second table simply exclaimed at the exquisiteness of the dishes, but the old couple was different.

The middle-aged man was very excited when he saw the soft fried ring: "That's the taste, that's the taste!

“The gift box is also very exquisite. The cold dishes inside are beautifully colored and taste good.”

“It’s just a little expensive…”

"This is a store opened by a celebrity, it's not expensive..."

…

On the first day of business, there weren't many customers, only five tables with less than 20 people. But all of them were pleasantly surprised and satisfied with the dishes. They took photos of the dishes at each table, and those who knew the artists took photos and asked for autographs.

"I didn't expect today to be so smooth. It's because we prepared well in advance this afternoon. Chef Xiaoye took on almost all the cooking work himself; Teacher Kong also helped out; Teacher Wang collected the cash, solicited customers, and helped wash the vegetables; Yingying and Zixiao were in charge of drinks, acted as waiters, and washed a lot of dishes. Everyone worked hard today! I estimate that there will be more customers tomorrow than today, so we have to prepare in advance." Sister Yan made a brief summary and asked everyone to go back and rest early.

Ye Tian didn't feel tired at all and said she wanted to make a midnight snack for everyone, as they had only eaten cold noodles in the afternoon and hadn't had dinner.

When the others heard about midnight snacks, they waved their hands, but Yuan Zixiao's eyes lit up.

"If you gain weight, your agent won't scold me, right?" Ye Tian joked.

"Don't worry, I'll work out tonight and go running tomorrow morning."

Kong Shen also whispered, "Then I'll have a bite too!"

Ye Tian didn't want to make everyone fat: "Then let's eat something low in carbohydrates. I see there's tofu skin, so I'll make a vegetable roll for everyone."

The two men nodded. Shi Yingying licked her lips and hesitated for a long time: "Tiantian, can I have one too?"

"no problem."

Yan Yan and Brother Wang didn't eat and went back to the hotel first.

Ye Tian simply steamed the bean curd sheets, put the blanched spinach, shredded carrots, white fungus and vermicelli into a bowl, added homemade sauce, stirred well and evenly divided it onto four pieces of bean curd sheets, rolled them up tightly and wrapped them with plastic wrap. This was a simple vegetable roll.

Then he directly divided it among the other three people and took one for himself to eat. It was quite simple and rough.

Late in the evening, four people were eating vegetable rolls. Although there was no meat and the ingredients were not special, after Ye Tian's simple cooking and the addition of special sauce, the four hungry people felt that it was simply a delicacy.

Yuan Zixiao finished the vegetable roll lovingly. A little sauce got on his hand, and he licked it. It was obvious that he was still not satisfied.

In fact, Ye Tian was not full, but she felt embarrassed to eat anything else, so she cleaned up the kitchen with everyone and went back to her accommodation.

After taking a shower at night, she still felt hungry. She found a hotel room, but there were only two buckets of instant noodles. After hesitating for a while, she decided to boil water and eat the noodles.

Eating instant noodles at night is really delicious. Ye Tian thought of the time when she cooked noodles with her roommates at night and smiled unconsciously.

She finished her instant noodles contentedly, brushed her teeth, stood up and walked around to reply to the messages on the video account, and read some news and gossip before going to bed.

Before going to bed, she thought: I definitely won’t be able to accompany you all tomorrow! I’m not a celebrity, I can eat whatever I want, but I’ll be hungry if I’m embarrassed to eat!
