Chapter 434 Master, can this be fixed?

Su Chen did a quick calculation in his mind.

At this rate of order growth, this week's business tasks will be completed smoothly soon.

If you are lucky, you can take two more days to have a good rest.

Wang Jiale sent a message: "Master Su, I'll reserve a seat first. I may need you to make a few more dishes tomorrow. We can discuss the details tomorrow."

After reading the message, Su Chen simply replied "OK".

This customer was really interesting. Not only did he praise the food he cooked and gave it such a high evaluation, he also took the initiative to make an appointment for follow-up services, which surprised him a little.

This week I don't have to work outdoors in a doll costume like I did last week, which is a lot easier.

…

at the same time.

In another corner of the city, Lu Ziyi was staying in her apartment.

She lay horizontally on the bed, holding a soft pillow in her arms, and kept "rolling over and over in death" on the bed.

"Oh my god, what should I shoot for my next video? I have no inspiration at all! Being a TikTok host is so hard!"

Lu Ziyi is a UP host in the lifestyle section of Bilibili.

She mainly shoots travel, store exploration and food-related videos.

Lu Ziyi has the image of a girl next door. When she smiles, two shallow dimples appear at the corners of her mouth, so she has a lot of fans following her.

But the creative pressure brought by continuously updating videos is increasing, which makes her feel overwhelmed.

Every day I have to rack my brains to think of new topics and new shooting angles. This job is far from as easy as it seems.

Just as she tossed and turned in bed, her brain cells died in large numbers due to lack of inspiration.

The phone next to my pillow suddenly dinged, and a push message popped up: "Tired of takeout, but don't want to eat out? Try our home cooking service!"

Lu Ziyi wanted to swipe away the advertisement, but was suddenly stunned, blinked, and realized that this might be an excellent topic for a video.

She suddenly became alert, sat up abruptly, and began to think about the idea seriously.

Simply recording the process of cooking at home may seem a bit dull and difficult to attract the audience's attention.

But she really had no better ideas. Although this topic was not perfect, it was still a feasible direction.

Lu Ziyi decided to get a deeper understanding of the situation first.

She reached for her phone and decisively clicked on the push link.

The page then jumps to a software called "Happiness at Home".

She quickly completed the registration process, filling in some necessary personal information.

Then, she couldn't wait to type the words "home cooking" into the search bar.

As the page refreshed, a long list of service personnel appeared on the screen.

The service staff on the list include both men and women, young and old.

Each person’s profile is detailed with their specialty cuisine and special services.

Some are good at Sichuan cuisine, some are proficient in Cantonese cuisine, and some specialize in home-style dishes.

Lu Ziyi stared at the screen, slowly sliding her fingers to check each person's information.

For this home cooking video shoot, she had to find a service provider who could not only demonstrate her cooking skills but also make the video interesting to watch.

Lu Ziyi had been searching in the software for a long time. As she browsed more and more service staff information, her eyes gradually revealed a hint of disappointment.

Just when she was about to give up and rethink other video directions, a somewhat special piece of information suddenly caught her eye.

The boy in the profile photo looks to be in his early twenties, looking particularly young and a little handsome.

What caught Lu Ziyi's attention was the row of skill labels below the information.

In addition to the regular "home-cooked dishes" and the unique "Mastering Suona", it also clearly states "Professional Lock Picking (registered)".

When Lu Ziyi saw this label, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Is even the home cooking industry so inward-looking these days?

Why does a cook need to master the skill of lock picking?

She was about to delete the information when she suddenly remembered a video she had filmed of herself tidying up her room two months ago.

At that time, while she was tidying up her room, she found a plastic diary with a lock from a pile of old things.

If I remember correctly, I bought it when I was in middle school. This kind of diary with a lock was very popular at that time.

Unfortunately, I don’t know where the key was lost.

After the video was released, many viewers left messages expressing their curiosity about the contents of the diary and hoping that she would open it and share the youthful memories recorded in it.

Later, when she was busy, she completely forgot about it.

When Lu Ziyi saw the label "Professional Lock Opening", she became instantly excited.

She suddenly jumped up from the bed, not even bothering to put on her slippers. She ran to the locker barefoot and started rummaging through the drawers.

Finally, I found the pink plastic diary at the bottom of the locker.

Looking at this diary now, it feels very cheap. There is a small metal padlock hanging on it, and the lock body has been oxidized and turned black.

If you simply record the process of cooking at someone's home, the video content will inevitably appear too bland and boring, and it will be difficult to leave a deep impression on the audience.

But if this chef with unique skills can help open this diary that has been covered in dust for many years while cooking, and combine the two together, the video will be much more interesting.

Moreover, "chef unlocking" is something that is worth complaining about.

Thinking of this, Lu Ziyi immediately picked up her mobile phone, found Su Chen's information page, and clicked the appointment button without hesitation.

Su Chen had just finished a game on the massage chair when his phone rang with an order notification.

He looked at the new order notification that popped up on the screen with some surprise. This was the fourth order he had received today.

How come there are so many orders when I’ve only been online for less than a day?

Is home cooking so popular now?

Or do you have some special attraction?

He carefully checked his profile page. Apart from the slightly abrupt "Professional Lock Picking" label, it was no different from others.

With doubts, he clicked the accept order button and entered the chat interface.

The nickname of the user who placed the order is "Auntie Lu" and no avatar is set.

The image of a middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties with curly hair immediately emerged in Su Chen's mind.

He shook his head, thinking that it didn't matter who the customer was, since it was a home cooking service anyway.

Just as I was about to send a greeting message, the other party sent a series of questions first.

"Excuse me, Master, can you really pick locks? Any lock? Like the little padlock on the diary?"
