Hearing the host's questioning words, the system suddenly shivered.
He quickly explained, his eyes filled with grievance: "The system shop also needs to make money; my permissions are only enough to round down the host's share by this much."
It didn't even earn much money itself.
He couldn't help but feel sad whenever he thought about it, and tears visibly welled up in his big eyes.
Ling Miao quickly changed the subject, her actions even faster than her thoughts, and pressed the payment button directly.
Ling Miao: [...]
The system's electronic alarms should sound in a timely manner.
[You have paid some Delicious Points. Remaining Delicious Points after deduction]
Damn! It doesn't last long at all!
She felt a deep pang of regret for a few seconds, forcibly suppressing the surging impulse within her, trying her best to appear calm, only the straightness at the corners of her lips betraying a few thoughts.
The system has been completely silent since she made the payment, and it has now quietly disappeared into her mind.
I took several deep breaths, but I still couldn't completely suppress the pain in my heart.
Ling Miao put down the kitchen knife and, amidst the puzzled looks of Susan and Rella, turned and walked out of the kitchen.
"I'm going out to take a look."
After saying that, she stepped out of the kitchen.
As luck would have it, Cedrian walked into the restaurant and saw the crowd. For the first time, he regretted his decision. In the blink of an eye, he met Ling Miao's gaze.
The two looked at each other across the crowd, and Ling Miao was the first to look away.
She lowered her eyes and couldn't help but raise her hand to touch her cheek.
It seems a bit hot.
It's time to get the refrigeration unit installed.
Cedrian didn't know why she looked away, her eyes showing a moment of grievance, but unexpectedly, she looked right at him.
Cedrian, caught red-handed: "..."
Ling Miao: ?
She thought she just saw the general's eyes look aggrieved.
Ling Miao was puzzled. Her gaze fell on the crowded restaurant, and she belatedly realized that there seemed to be no more dishes left.
We can't let the big shots go hungry.
Her eyes hardened instantly; this was the golden opportunity she had chosen.
I can let anyone go hungry, but not him.
But with the crowd in between, it wasn't easy for her to walk over, so she lowered her head, took out her Star Brain, and sent a message to the other party.
Cedrian's stellar brain vibrated twice. He lowered his eyes, swiped his fingers, and saw the message Ling Miao had sent him.
Come back this afternoon, and I'll cook something special for you.
He couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile, his gaze fixed on the word 'specialized'.
The atmosphere instantly shifted from cold and icy to pleasant, prompting the surrounding diners to steal glances.
They had been watching the general for a long time, but unfortunately, the atmosphere was so somber as soon as he entered that they didn't dare to speak to him.
I don't know what happened, but I suddenly became happy.
Immediately afterwards, the star brain on the other party's wrist trembled twice more.
Sorry, I forgot to reply to your last message.
Following this are two cute cat emojis begging for mercy.
Ling Miao stood opposite, stealing glances at Cedrian's expression.
She had just taken out her Star Brain and realized that the other party had sent her a message last time, but she had forgotten to reply.
No wonder he's been in a bad mood; he hasn't spoken to her at all lately.
She peeked cautiously and breathed a sigh of relief when she noticed the curve of the other person's lips.
Fortunately, the general is easy to appease.
The other person raised their head, their dark gaze sweeping over the crowd and looking directly at her.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
Ling Miao blushed and awkwardly looked away.
I must say, the general's smile is quite handsome.
Unlike the stiff curves of before, this was a genuine smile, like the warmth of the first rays of sunlight after the snow melts.
He was happy and turned to leave, looking forward to the meal Ling Miao would make for him later. Yarsi, who was following behind, regretted it.
Looking at the packed crowd, he felt, for the first time, an urge to slap himself.
But there's nothing we can do.
All the dishes had already been reserved. He turned around regretfully, glancing back at Ling Miao every few steps.
The other party didn't look again, but instead lowered their head and fiddled with the Star Brain.
Yarsi sighed regretfully.
The lunch break flew by, and only a few customers remained in the restaurant.
The robot diligently cleaned up the mess in the restaurant, while Ling Miao, Susan, and the other two cautiously cleaned the kitchen.
Evan brought Hobson to the Flavorful Restaurant.
The man following behind was extremely tall, a full head taller than Evan.
Even though people on Tadar, a planet where everyone is poor, can't even get enough to eat, there's still a sense of oppression about it.
But he was too thin. Compared to Evan, the tall man looked like an awkward stick, silently and obediently following behind him.
Upon closer inspection, it was observed that the person occasionally limped as they walked, and their right lower leg had been amputated, revealing an empty trouser leg supported by a simple brace.
"Hobson, the owner of Youwei Restaurant is a really nice person."
"If you get this job, I won't need to worry about you anymore."
He turned around and patted his partner's arm.
The other party remained silent and taciturn.
Evan had grown accustomed to the other's silence. Ever since Hobson lost his leg and his mother died of illness, he had become increasingly withdrawn.
"arrive."
Evan stopped. "Let's go inside."
Hobson looked up quickly and glanced at it. Then he looked down again.
He remained silent, his gaze falling on his empty right calf.
He wasn't unhappy when Evan offered to introduce him to a job.
But there was more panic.
This means that he will once again have to expose his disability in front of everyone.
He lowered his eyelids and limped after Evan into the restaurant.
"Boss, I've brought the person to you."
Hearing the sound, Ling Miao wiped her hands and came out, followed by Rella and Susan.
She first looked at Hobson, who was following behind Evan. Hobson was taciturn but extremely polite as he walked out, and his limp was clearly visible.
"Can you chop vegetables?"
Upon hearing this, Hobson's eyes flickered. He shook his head and said in a hoarse voice, "I've only ever killed alien beasts."
Ling Miao nodded without saying much, turned around, picked up a kitchen knife and handed it to him, then pointed to the meat on the cutting board, "Try slicing it."
The other person obediently picked up the cleaver, walked to the cutting board, and with a swift stroke, slices of meat of uniform size and thickness appeared before his eyes.
Her eyes lit up, and she immediately said, "Let's cut it into strips again."
The other person did as instructed, wielding the cleaver with fluid, flowing movements, and as his skill improved, his movements became faster and faster.
The shredded meat under his hands gradually appeared.
Ling Miao stepped forward, picked up a shredded piece of meat, and nodded as she looked at it. She praised it with satisfaction and immediately made the decision, "You're the one."
Evan almost burst out laughing. He looked at Hobson, and for the first time, a flicker of emotion appeared in the other man's eyes.
"thank you."
