On the first day of the half-price discount, Tian Rong entered the restaurant through the back door.

It was just past noon and not yet time for dinner. There were so many people at the front door that even he couldn't squeeze in.

"Wow, Boss, that scene up ahead was so scary." Tian Rong pretended to wipe the sweat off his face, which made Liu Qinghuan, who was helping Yu Niang make jelly, laugh.

"Go and help Zijun clean up the tables and chairs. We will open the door on time." Liu Qinghuan said with a smile.

"Okay."

When the time came for the store to open, Tian Rong swallowed his cigarette as he opened the door to welcome customers.

"Dear guests, please don't bump into me."

He muttered to himself and opened the door, and the guests who had been waiting outside for a long time came in one after another.

"Dear guests, please take your seats quickly. There are too many of us, so please be patient. If you are willing to share a table, please squeeze together. If you are not willing, we have prepared small stools for you to sit on for a while." Liu Qinghuan shouted and began to help Tian Rong take orders.

"Hey, sir, we have to write a notice today. You can only eat inside and not take out. I'm sorry to offend you."

"The new crystal cake is good. We've prepared a bamboo tube. If you want to take it away, you'll have to pay an extra two cents for the bamboo tube. The large bamboo tube can hold two servings, so it's also two cents."

"Okay, take it to the counter."

"Well, sir, what you are asking is, of course, the price will be reduced but the quantity will not. If I serve less food, you can chop off my head."

"Sir, this is too much. We have a notice that if you waste food, you will be fined twenty coins for every two dishes. I urge you to order less."

"Tomatoes and eggs are gone. People who buy vegetables don't supply them. They say they are out of season and have sold out. There is nothing we can do about it."

"All the other dishes are here. Would you like to try a bowl of crystal cake? The previous guests ordered it."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

Tian Rong's lips were numb from ordering the dishes. Luckily, Liu Qinghuan gave him a charcoal pencil to scribble on paper. Otherwise, even if he had the ability to memorize well enough to pass the imperial examination, he would definitely make mistakes today.

The lobby was extremely busy, and the kitchen was also busy.

Liu Qinghuan took advantage of the time when the counter was free at the beginning to help Yu Niang prepare the dishes in the kitchen. In order to make her relax, he said, "You don't have to rush. Just cook at the same speed as before. Anyway, these dishes are a loss-making business."

"Yang'er, go to Uncle Zijun's place and bring some new bowls over. Then bring back the used ones to wash."

Ye Heng moved a small table out and placed the jelly that had been cut into small pieces next to it, and covered it with a layer of ice with oil paper.

"Guests waiting in line can buy a bowl of crystal cake to try first. It's half price, only five cents a bowl." Ye Hengmu's face seemed to be reciting the words he had said a hundred times last night.

Most of the customers who have been to Huanxi Restaurant know that there is a big man hiding behind the counter of Huanxi Restaurant. He looks scary, but he doesn’t seem to cause any trouble.

I guess he looks fierce...

Thinking of this, one of the young men who had been queuing for so long that they couldn't even get a seat came out and said, "Brother, please give us three bowls first. It's so hot, and this looks like it will cool us down."

"Salty or sweet."

The young man sipped for a while, realizing that this was a question, and said, "I don't like sweet food. Give me three bowls of salty food."

Ye Heng said nothing more, and quickly scooped three bowls and poured the ingredients on them.

He counted out fifteen coins, called a friend out, and returned to the team with three bowls of steaming crystal cakes.

"Wow, this is amazing! Is this something gods eat?"

Because there was no spoon provided, I had to eat it upside down. A piece of crystal cake slid into my mouth, and my tongue felt a smoother and softer texture than ever before.

"Yes, yes, I can't bear to swallow this."

The three young men praised the food while eating, making everyone around them swallow their saliva.
