Liu Miaomiao wiped the tears from her face expressionlessly.

She took several bowls and packed the fried snacks separately, then put them in the refrigerator.

Afterwards, she lay on the bed, keeping her eyes open, waiting for the surging emotions in her heart to subside before she reluctantly fell asleep.

the next day.

Liu Miaomiao arrived at the store early and saw Xiaoyou and another regular employee she had just hired, Lin Shan, in the kitchen, already starting to sort the vegetables and meat that had just been delivered in the morning.

Lin Shan is a middle-aged man. He is down-to-earth and doesn't talk much. He is a person who can be patient and get things done.

Liu Miaomiao went in and saw the two people busy, so she simply greeted them and went over to help.

The store's daily turnover is very high now, so it's busier with various things to do. She increased the salaries of several people in the store in a timely manner and clearly divided the responsibilities. Now the store is gradually becoming more streamlined.

But this did not stop her from going up to help. The kitchen was big enough and it was not crowded with one more person. By a little after ten o'clock, all the ingredients had been processed.

When Xiaoyou was free, she raised her eyes and suddenly said, "Sister Miaomiao, didn't you get enough rest yesterday?"

Liu Miaomiao has fair skin, and the faint dark blue under her eyes is very obvious. She thought of the plastic bags last night and smiled at Xiaoyou, "Yes, I went to bed a little late last night."

Xiaoyou shook her ponytail, and with a cute expression, she analyzed, "Sister Miaomiao, our faces are very important to us girls. We need to take good care of them. You are so pretty, so you should spend more time on it."

Liu Miaomiao couldn't help laughing at Xiaoyou's teasing, and boasted casually: "Okay, I will definitely listen to your advice and protect my beauty."

There wasn't much time for chatting in the store. As it got closer to noon, everyone was busy all the time, and it wasn't until around three in the afternoon that people started to get a little freer.

Just then, two special guests came into the store.

…

Zhang Xiaobai is a senior this year. With her experience in running a public account, she was lucky enough to get an internship at a food magazine and now works as an assistant to the editor-in-chief.

The editor-in-chief she followed was named Zhou, a very experienced food connoisseur who admired her as an ambitious young person.

Recently, Chief Editor Zhou is planning to produce a new issue of a food magazine and has asked the staff to find some suitable materials. Zhang Xiaobai is among them as his assistant.

The food club's magazine has been published for many years, and it has made all kinds of cuisines and famous special dishes. For a while, everyone proposed several ideas but none of them were suitable. Until Zhang Xiaobai thought of the snack guides she had made before, she tried to suggest making a magazine about street food.

Unexpectedly, this proposal was passed unanimously.

Editor-in-Chief Zhou asked Zhang Xiaobai, who had made the suggestion, "Xiaobai, do you have any recommendations?"

Zhang Xiaobai excitedly suggested, "Editor Zhou, let's go to the university town."

Editor-in-Chief Zhou brought Zhang Xiaobai at an awkward time. It was just after lunch and not yet dinner time, and the stalls on several streets were empty.

After walking around, I saw a braised meat shop with a few customers. As I approached, I could smell the tempting aroma of meat in the air.

Editor Zhou walked in. After walking around a few times and feeling almost exhausted, they ordered two servings of braised pork rice.

Liu Miaomiao brought over the two servings of braised pork rice and said with a faint smile, "This is the braised pork rice you two ordered. Please enjoy it."

She unconsciously paid some attention to the two customers in the store, because their behavior always felt different from that of ordinary customers. In addition to eating, they seemed to be studying something.

Zhang Xiaobai felt the gaze and realized that he was taking pictures and adjusting the angle, which attracted some attention.

The braised meat in this shop is really amazing.

After taking just two bites, she felt the urge to write a food guide for this restaurant. She took out her phone out of habit to take a picture, and only after she finished taking the picture did she realize how loud the noise was.

Zhang Xiaobai put her phone away and looked up again, and found that she was not the only one who attracted attention. Editor-in-Chief Zhou was openly looking around the kitchen and the store, which was even more abrupt than her behavior.

"Ahem, editor-in-chief." She reminded.

Editor Zhou pushed up his glasses and continued to survey the kitchen, not noticing Zhang Xiaobai's reminder. Seeing this, Liu Miaomiao came over and asked, "Old man, do you need any help?"

She spoke in a very polite tone. The man in front of her looked quite old, and she didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble.

If it were a younger person, she would actually want to be more blunt and ask directly: What are you looking for in the store?

Editor Zhou finally stopped his gaze upon hearing this and looked at the young girl in front of him. He thought she was a waitress, so he pushed his glasses aside and said, "Little girl, I need to talk to your boss. Is he here?"

Liu Miaomiao smiled politely and said, "I am the owner of the store, old man. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."

"Oh! Little girl, you are the boss." Editor-in-Chief Zhou was a little surprised.

Zhang Xiaobai, who was standing by, also noticed the situation and quickly came over to explain, "Hello, don't misunderstand us, we don't mean anything else."

Liu Miaomiao smiled faintly and said nothing.

"Hello, young lady. I'm the editor-in-chief of a food magazine. I want to talk to you about this braised pork rice." Editor-in-chief Zhou's words interrupted the somewhat awkward scene.

As an assistant, Zhang Xiaobai cooperated and gave Liu Miaomiao a business card.

The black business card has a very textured feel, with some dark patterns on the edges.

Liu Miaomiao took it but saw that it only had her name, position, and a phone number written on it.

She realized that this was a personal business card, and it was a personal business card specially customized for someone of a certain status.

Her guard dropped slightly.

The three of them then sat down and started chatting.

Editor-in-Chief Zhou said, "Our magazine has been running for many years. If you don't know much about it, you can search for information online later."

"It's fate that I came here this time. I think the braised pork rice in your restaurant is delicious. I want to include it in a food magazine as material for an issue."

"Yes, boss, think about it. Our magazine has a lot of readers, so it can be regarded as free publicity." Zhang Xiaobai added.

Liu Miaomiao asked again what specifically needed to be done, and after listening and confirming that there was no problem, she agreed.

A few days later, she worked with the magazine's official photographer in the store to take some pictures and videos of braised pork rice, and there was no follow-up on the matter.

Liu Miaomiao thought the splash wasn't big, so she didn't think much about it.

Just when she was about to forget about it, several food bloggers came to the store, holding their mobile phones to conduct live broadcasts.

A few days later, the store saw a surge in takeout orders, and a large number of unfamiliar customers lined up at the door, with an alarming flow of people.

All of a sudden, Liu Miaomiao realized that her store had become popular.
