Shida Braised Food Shop.

As soon as Su Yan got out of the car, she conducted a thorough inspection of the store.

The 80-square-meter shop is decorated in a simple and bright style. To the left of the entrance is the braised food area, with a transparent partition in front to prevent dust and unclean things from floating into the pot. Customers can see the braising process and feel at ease eating there. To the right are the tables and chairs for dining in.

More than half an hour later, after the examination, she fell into deep thought.

The taste was right, and the service was also fine.

Even though there was no business in the store, all four employees were busy and focused on their work.

Unfortunately, the foot traffic was pitifully low.

Only two orders were sold in the past half hour.

Logically speaking, this place is close to two teachers' colleges and residential areas, so business shouldn't be bad.

Li Juan was extremely worried. "Ayan, have you noticed anything wrong?"

Although Guo Ziming was not involved in the food and beverage industry, he was still quite knowledgeable about business. After a moment's thought, he said, "In this situation, we can just ask the customer."

"Ask the guest? Which guest?" Li Juan asked, puzzled.

You can't just grab anyone at the door and ask, "Why don't you buy my braised food? Isn't it good?"

If you really do that, people will think you're crazy.

Su Yan frowned as she looked at the gates of the two universities. Suddenly, she noticed that some students were looking at her braised food shop, first showing a desire to come, but then giving up and turning to buy other things.

"Mother, what kind of guests do you think are missing the most?"

Li Juan was stunned for a moment, then said awkwardly, "I really didn't notice that."

All she knew was that business was bad.

"I am a student."

As soon as Su Yan finished speaking, a shop assistant wiping the table next to her suddenly interjected, "Oh dear, it's possible that the customers are tired of the food, or that the price is too high, which is why they don't come to eat here. These are all normal, boss, don't worry about it so much."

Su Yan turned her head to look.

The shop assistant who spoke was a woman in her fifties; she remembered her mother calling her Aunt Wu.

When they were hiring, Aunt Wu was the one Li Juan was most satisfied with. She was quick and efficient at work and loved cleanliness. The key thing was that her husband and son had both died, and now she and her daughter-in-law were raising their grandson alone.

Li Juan is an empathetic person and felt that Aunt Wu had a hard life, so she took good care of her. Aunt Wu herself was also very hardworking, so when Li Juan was not around, Aunt Wu was in charge of running the Shida store.

Su Yan pinched her chin and observed Aunt Wu for a moment, then stood up and said, "Mother, I'm going out for a stroll. You and my senior brother can sit for a while."

Before Li Juan could speak, Aunt Wu quickly said, "Young boss, I often hear you say that you're not in good health. The weather is too cold now, and the roads are a bit icy. You shouldn't go out for a walk, lest you catch a cold."

Su Yan smiled faintly, "It's nothing. Isn't there a noodle shop next door? I'll go take a look."

After saying that, she got up and left.

Aunt Wu hurriedly chased after her, and Li Juan asked in bewilderment, "Aunt Wu, my daughter rarely comes to visit. She can shop whenever she wants. Why are you so nervous?"

"Ah?" Aunt Wu quickly waved her hand, "No, no, I'm just worried about the young boss."

Li Juan was even more puzzled by her words, and muttered, "I've never seen you care this much before."

Aunt Wu's face stiffened for a moment, her eyes constantly glancing in the direction Su Yan had gone, looking absent-minded.

Guo Ziming immediately understood why Su Yan suddenly wanted to go out.

...

Judging from Aunt Wu's reaction just now, Su Yan had a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

She strolled slowly to the entrance of the teachers' college, as if taking a walk.

However, her appearance quickly attracted everyone's attention, and passersby couldn't help but stop and take a look, but no one mustered up the courage to go up and chat with her.

She put on the hood of her down jacket to cover her face and chose a stone stool to sit down.

Shortly after, three female students walked out of the main gate.

The tall man in the green shirt said, "I really want to eat braised food, what should I do? I've been holding back for almost half a month."

The girl in the yellow down jacket next to them hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let's forget it, let's go eat something else."

"Yes, I want to eat it too, but I don't dare to," the student in the dark blue down jacket shook his head repeatedly.

Su Yan suddenly looked up, immediately stood up and walked over, "Excuse me, classmate, may I bother you for a moment?"

The three of them looked at her, their eyes filled with astonishment.

After a moment, the girl in the yellow down jacket said, "Excuse me, are you talking to us?"

Su Yan nodded. "Yes."

The tall girl in the green dress exclaimed in shock, "My God, are you a student at our school? I've never seen you before!"

Su Yan's looks are even more outstanding than their school beauty and the school beauty from the neighboring school. They shouldn't have never seen her before.

After all, good-looking people will cause a stir in terms of appearance no matter which school they go to.

Su Yan smiled and said, "I'm not a student at either of the two universities. I'm the daughter of the owner of the braised food shop across the street."

Upon hearing this, the expressions on the three people's faces froze, and the director looked at her with different expressions.

The girl in the yellow down jacket whispered, "Let's go."

Su Yan quickly said, "Three classmates, I just came back from school in Yangcheng. My mother told me that the business of the braised food shop has suddenly become very bad. I came here today to find out why. I overheard what you were saying while I was strolling around, so I took the liberty of coming up to bother you."

I'd like to ask what went wrong with our restaurant that made you all stop eating there. My mother visited me in Guangzhou recently, and she doesn't know what happened either. I hope you can tell me so I can take action when I get back.

Her attitude was very sincere, and she spoke softly, making it hard for anyone to make things difficult for her.

The girl in the green dress touched her heart and stared at Su Yan in a daze. "How can someone be so beautiful even when they frown!"

The girls in yellow and dark blue down jackets: "..."

Su Yan: "..."

The girl in the yellow down jacket coughed lightly, "Excuse me, my roommate is a sucker for good looks. She swoons over anyone who's attractive."

Su Yan covered her mouth and laughed, "It's nothing. This classmate's personality is quite similar to one of my roommates, which reminded me of her."

"Really?" The girl in green was incredibly excited. She suddenly took two steps closer and asked, "Which school are you from? What's your name? My name is Jiang Zhoufeng, the girl in yellow is Ye Lin, and the girl in blue is Fan Siqiong. Can we be friends?"

Su Yan was stunned. Was this the legendary She Niu?

Ye Lin and Fan Siqiong turned their faces away, wishing they could dig a hole and disappear.

Having a roommate who's a social butterfly only makes things worse!

Su Yan snapped out of her daze and said patiently, "My name is Su Yan, and I'm a freshman at Southern Medical University. Of course, we can become friends if you're willing."

Jiang Zhoufeng became even more agitated, but Ye Lin quickly stopped her from speaking and said first, "Since we are friends now, I will explain the matter of the braised food shop to you properly."
