Chapter 459: Arrived and Gathered Together (Part 3)
"Dad, there are so many people here!" Lin Qiao swallowed and grabbed the sleeve of her old father beside her.
Old Lin coughed lightly and said to his daughter, "Calm down! You're the daughter of a three million dollar gold V blogger and a nationally renowned gourmet. Don't embarrass your father!"
Lin Qiao rolled her eyes: "Narcissism!"
"In just half a year, I didn't expect Jiang Ji to become so popular..." Old Lin suddenly felt inspired.
Back then, Jiang Ji became popular because of a post by Qiaoqiao. Yes, Lin Qiao is also a small blogger with more than 100,000 fans.
Then, Lao Lin forwarded it.
Then the whole network launched a huge promotion, and Jiang Ji became an overnight sensation.
Then, because the boss’ daughter is Jiang Fuyue, a talented girl who won gold medals in two subject competitions, the popularity continued to increase, which led to today’s hot scene.
It can be said that Jiang Ji’s popularity cannot be replicated.
If any link is missing, the restaurant will not work. Of course, Jiang Da and Han Yunru also need to be able to manage the business and work hard to build its reputation and taste.
Cao Dou came forward and said, "Teacher Lin, Teacher Xiao Lin, the seats have been arranged. Please come in—"
Lin Qiao was stunned when she was suddenly called "teacher". Her face flushed and she managed to utter, "I'm not a teacher! I'm a student! Jiang Fuyue and I are classmates!"
"Ah?" Cao Dou was also stunned. "That's such a coincidence!"
Lin Qiao looked around, "Um...will Jiang Fuyue come today?"
"Well, she's already in there."
Lin Qiao was delighted and quickly pulled her father inside.
Lao Lin looked apologetic: "I'm sorry, this child is so reckless..."
Cao Dou waved his hands repeatedly and personally took the father and daughter to the tasting area in the store and asked them to sit in the best seats.
Old Lin sighed suddenly and touched his daughter's head: "Little girl, you are more impressive than your father."
Lin Qiao gave him a complacent wink~
Of course! After all, she's Yue Jie's deskmate and best friend (self-proclaimed)?
There were five or six reporters, plus a cameraman, so it was quite a large team.
Cao Dou took them to the interview area and sat them down. The waiter served them lemon mint tea and a plate of snowflake crisps.
Zhang Yuan doesn't want to come today.
She had a celebrity commercial performance to follow, which was held at Linhuai MixC. This celebrity was recently caught up in an extramarital affair scandal, and this was his first appearance in three months.
Entertainment news like this is inherently hot and naturally attracts attention, so of course she is willing to go there. If she happens to capture something explosive, she will easily become famous!
Who likes to come and see a restaurant opening?
So what about Jiang Ji? It's a bit of an internet sensation, but it's not as eye-catching as celebrity gossip.
As a result, the leader sent her to deal with such trivial news without asking any questions, but gave the celebrity side to an intern reporter.
Oh! Don't think she doesn't know the dirty relationship between these two people.
"Mr. Zhang, you don't look well today? Did you not get enough rest last night?" A colleague next to him looked concerned.
Zhang Yuan forced a smile: "It's okay, maybe it's hypoglycemia."
She really didn't get enough rest last night and was very angry.
"Don't think low blood sugar is a minor issue. If you get dizzy and faint, and you fall somewhere you shouldn't, it can be fatal! I reported a similar story last week about an elderly woman who fainted in the middle of the street. Low blood sugar isn't life-threatening, but an oncoming car is! She died before she even made it to the hospital."
"I'll pay attention, thank you." Although she said this, the irritation between the woman's brows became more and more obvious.
The noisy environment, the crowded space, and the extremely noisy colleague next to her made her already bad mood even worse.
She grabbed the water at hand and took a gulp.
Suddenly, a cool but non-irritating mint scent slid into the throat, and then rushed straight to the top of the head. The whole person seemed to be in a cool mountain stream, stepping on the cool stream water, and feeling the refreshing mountain breeze.
All the depression and irritability disappeared, leaving only comfort and leisure.
She exhaled a long breath. She felt as if her whole body was on fire, but at this moment she became strangely calm.
Zhang Yuan looked at the cup in her hand in surprise...what was that mint tea?
The liquid is light green in color, and the fragrance emanating from it can be smelled from a distance.
"Isn't it delicious?" her colleague winked at her. "I'm a big fan of Jiang's Pancakes. A few days ago, I was worried that it would be so popular on opening day that I wouldn't be able to queue. I didn't expect them to give me such a great job. Now I can just walk in and try their special dishes for free. It's amazing!"
As he spoke, he smacked his lips and shook his head happily.
Zhang Yuan glanced at her in surprise. "Sister Liang, I remember you were covering social news. How come you're interested in food reporting?"
"What's wrong with covering social news? I'm not a machine. I need to adjust and rest, too. It would be great if you could assign me some relaxing and comfortable work like this once in a while!"
Zhang Yuan took another sip of mint tea. The taste was really comfortable, neither strong nor weak, giving people a refreshing and peaceful experience.
"Aren't you afraid that if you're absent for a day, someone else will overshadow the news you're following?"
"Of course I'm afraid! It's so hard for us journalists to dig up a story. Who wants to be intercepted mid-sentence?"
Zhang Yuan nodded, and she couldn't help but start to feel anxious again.
Take another sip quickly.
"But..." Sister Liang changed the subject, "There's no end to work, just like there's endless news. If you constantly think you can't rest, or someone else will snatch your opportunity away if you do, you'll be extremely exhausted. It's not just the work itself, but also the pressure you put on yourself."
Zhang Yuan seemed to be lost in thought.
"In fact, if you occasionally stop and take in the scenery around you, you'll find it truly beautiful. For example, right now, if you take a closer look at this store and use the insight and empathy that journalists possess, you'll find many surprises."
Only then did Zhang Yuan look around seriously.
The lamps are very stylish, the lights are bright but not glaring, the walls are boldly colored, and the hustle and bustle and life around me no longer give me the feeling of disgust I had when I first came in.
"Is there a surprise?"
"Yeah." Zhang Yuan nodded, and this time she smiled sincerely.
"Hiss--" Suddenly, she took a breath and raised her hand to cover her stomach.
"What's wrong? Are you okay?"
Zhang Yuan waved her hand: "It's an old problem. I didn't eat breakfast and my stomach hurts because I'm hungry."
"That won't do! Hurry up and eat some snowflake crisps to replenish your sugar intake!"
"No, I don't like these sweet things. I'd rather drink water."
"It's not sweet or greasy, try it." Sister Liang peeled off the wrapping paper and handed it to her.
Zhang Yuan really didn't want to eat it, but the other party was so kind, so she could only accept it reluctantly and put it in her mouth hesitantly, uh, a small bite.
The next second, she suddenly stopped, and her surprised eyes met Sister Liang's understanding eyes, as if they had already predicted that she would have this reaction.
After Zhang Yuan finished eating a whole pill, her empty stomach was relieved and the colic gradually disappeared.
“This snowflake crisp…”
"Am I right? It's not too sweet or greasy. It has a little sugar, but it's more of a milky flavor. The cranberries also have a sweet taste."
"Mmmmm! This is totally different from what I'm used to eating."
Sister Liang curled her lips: "Let me tell you, I don't eat sweets either, except for the ones made by the boss lady here."
"The boss lady did it?!"
"Yes, Snowflake Crisps and Lemon Mint Tea are all made by her."
Zhang Yuan picked up another one, peeled it, put it in her mouth, and nodded while eating.
"The boss lady must be a great pastry chef."
"No," Sister Liang shook her head, looking very familiar with the shop and its owner. "She only started learning in the last year. Before, she followed her husband to set up the stall and make pancakes."
"I see... then you have great talent."
Sister Liang smiled and said, "Perhaps beautiful people have more dexterous hands than ordinary people."
Zhang Yuan was surprised: "Is the boss lady very beautiful?"
"Look, there are photos on the wall."
Zhang Yuan looked over doubtfully, then her eyes widened the next second, unable to believe it.
When she heard the description of "following her husband to set up a stall and make pancakes", the first image that came to her mind was a middle-aged woman, who was bloated but hardworking and simple.
She is a bit rustic and old, not as exquisite as the urban beauties, but her eyes are full of kindness.
However, in fact, there is not only kindness in the woman's eyes, but also touching tenderness, and her appearance is very outstanding, and she is a standard bone beauty!
Her two children also inherited their mother's excellent genes.
"Huh? Why do you look so familiar?"
Three updates, three thousand words.
Fourth watch, half past twelve.
