Immediately afterwards, Su Muyao explained the shop's benefits and wages to these men again.

Everyone was smiling.

Around noon, all the ministers in the court, along with their families, arrived at Su Muyao's barbecue restaurant.

The Emperor and the Princess both mentioned the shop's opening in court.

It would be unreasonable for them not to come and show their support.

If it were any other high-ranking official in the court who opened the shop, it would be one thing, but this is a minor princess who is always ready to take lives.

They naturally had to come here; if they inadvertently offended the little princess, the ball on their heads might just disappear one day.

Su Muyao looked at the entire court of civil and military officials who had arrived. Although they had changed their clothes, their demeanor was completely different from that of those from wealthy families.

They all look like officials.

Those outside, seeing the scene unfolding in the shop, couldn't help but gasp in shock.

Looking at all these people, Su Muyao sighed. Even if the entire second floor were opened, there wouldn't be enough room to sit down, let alone the first floor.

Su Muyao looked up and saw the court officials looking around. "Since there are so many people today, is it permissible to order takeout? What would you like to eat, Your Excellency?"

"Princess, please feel free to order whatever you like. I'm not picky."

"Little Chestnut, please give this gentleman a pack of all the signature dishes from our barbecue restaurant."

The man whose name was called immediately stepped forward and nodded.

Just then, Bai Yi and Li Yong walked in.

Su Muyao arranged for them to sit in a private room by the window on the second floor.

When Yuanyuan arrived late, there were no seats left. Since she knew Baiyi and Li Yong, it was better to put Yuanyuan at that table.

He led Yuanyuan upstairs: "White-robed, Young Master Li, there are no other seats available. My sister and I came here just to try the food. Would you be so kind as to make it convenient for us?"

When Li Yong saw that it was this young girl, his eyes lit up, and he immediately sat down inside.

"What do you mean by convenient or inconvenient? Come on, come on, sit here."

Then he was incredibly polite to Yuanyuan.

All kinds of skewers were placed on Yuanyuan's plate.

The man in white sat opposite Li Yong, his lips twitching. After all, he was Li Yong's son.

Now, in order to please the young girl, he didn't even leave a single skewer for himself in the bowl.

They put it all into the girl's bowl.

Su Muyao simply felt that this simple-minded man had a very good impression of her character during their previous trip.

If he could become a couple with Yuanyuan, it would be a perfect match.

Yuanyuan felt flattered as she watched Li Yong put all those things on her plate.

"Young Master Li, you should eat too. I'll have some myself and I'll be fine in no time."

Li Yong was somewhat displeased to hear Yuan Yuan being so distant with him.

"You ordered that, and I ordered this. You should try it; the taste is definitely different."

Su Muyao turned and left; he really couldn't listen to a word he said!

Li Yong seemed to be just making conversation for the sake of it, with a憨态可掬 (simple and honest) look on his face.

I feel like being around someone like that would lower my IQ by a degree.

Just as Su Muyao was leaving, she secretly glanced at Yuanyuan.

Her face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head.

Su Muyao covered her head, wondering if her best friend had really been kidnapped by a silly little brat.

Seeing the two of them, I thought I shouldn't disturb my family, so I quickly followed Su Muyao downstairs.

After the man in white left, Yuanyuan felt a little embarrassed, but she couldn't just leave Young Master Li behind.

She secretly longed for Su Muyao to be by her side, but realized it was unrealistic. The opening day had kept them very busy, leaving no time for her.

After chatting with Mr. Li for a while, the skewers I ordered were served.

I ate a couple of bites and then packed the rest to take home.

When Su Muyao finally had some free time, she discovered that Yuanyuan had already left.

Although I told myself this before leaving, I was busy making skewers and there weren't enough skewers.

They didn't even last half a day; all the skewers they had prepared in advance were sold out long ago.

The people who came after them just took whatever was in the refrigerator, without any hesitation.

The barbecue chefs were swinging their arms wide, frantically flipping the food over and over.

Although the waiters were also exhausted, their work was far easier than that of the barbecue chef.

In the end, they didn't finish cooking; all the dishes were gone just before noon.

Su Muyao put up a sign outside the door saying that the place was full and no more guests would be accepted.

The person in white was also exhausted, as one person kept asking for drinks and another wanted to pay the bill.

The most important thing is that the white coat was obtained at the last minute.

Try your best to memorize the prices on the menus; if you really can't remember them, just calculate the price from the menu.

The key point is that those people acted like they hadn't eaten in years, grabbing skewers by the handful.

The person in white was exhausted.

Su Muyao also noticed this; there really wasn't enough staff, especially for skewers.

Only after seeing off the last table of customers did the employees slump down on their stools.

"There isn't enough food for today; we didn't prepare enough yesterday."

Su Muyao listened to the conversation of these employees and waved her hand as she sat opposite them.

"It's fortunate that there weren't enough dishes. If there were more dishes and they kept making them, I would have lost my life."

Seeing Yao Yao so exhausted, Bai Yi felt incredibly sorry for her.

He had tried his best to take on all the work himself, but there was never enough work to do.

He did the accounting while serving items to the customers.

And then there are the new customers who ask what kind of skewers these are, what kind of meat this is, and what kind of meat that is.

I was so busy all afternoon that I didn't even have time to eat or drink water.

Now he thinks Li Yong really has no sense of propriety.

They can't see what their master is busy doing downstairs; they're only focused on their lovemaking upstairs.

He was absolutely furious.

Su Muyao then told people to go to the buffet and choose more food to eat.

He genuinely didn't want his employees to cook their meals anymore.

I'm so exhausted, how can I have time to cook for the staff?

Seeing that everyone at the table had almost finished eating, Su Muyao said, "We definitely can't be open tonight. You can have some skewers at the shop this afternoon."

I'll recruit some people over there; our current manpower definitely won't be enough."

When the other employees heard their little princess say that, they all nodded in agreement.

This number of people is definitely not enough, especially since dressing is the most time-consuming task.

Su Muyao decided to set up a separate small room in the backyard specifically for people to skewer food.
