Back in the store, Lu Yao's heartbeat was still a little fast. He felt that the man he just met was a little strange. He looked up and saw Bai Ming sitting by the window. He probably heard the sound of the door opening and turned his head to look at him. Lu Yao
calmed down and said, "Why are you here so early?"
Bai Ming had a cup of strawberry soda in his hand. The cup was filled with a thick layer of jam and many fresh strawberries, which were the leftover ingredients from the afternoon.
He quietly moved the cup to the side and blocked it with his body. "I was bored at home, so I came here first."
Here, I always feel comfortable.
Lu Yao pushed the cart directly into the kitchen, Bai Ming followed him in, eyes full of curiosity: "What did you buy?"
Lu Yao didn't notice his choice of words for a moment, and unloaded the things on the cart, "Some seafood and side dishes, and added some seasonings for dinner. I'm going to live broadcast making dinner, do you mind being on camera? You don't have to show your face."
The live broadcast received a lot of gifts in the morning, and the popularity accumulated was enough to start a round of live broadcasts in the evening.
Lu Yao hopes to unlock thirteen areas as soon as possible and achieve the achievement of "Fame Spreading Far".
Recently, the business in the store has been getting better and better, and the daily expenses are huge. Unfortunately, the income cannot be realized. She can only hope to earn soft girl coins in the next world.
Bai Ming said that she didn't mind, so Lu Yao and the system decided to start the live broadcast on time at 5:30.
It was six minutes past five, and there was still some time before the official live broadcast. Lu Yao found a set of pink tableware with peach blossom patterns, rinsed it in the sink, and prepared it for the evening.
The system broadcast a live broadcast preview in the cinemas in areas A, B, and D.
After Duan and Chen Jiang left the snack bar, they took the subway back to Qingshan Paradise in area D.
On the way, the aroma of food wafted out of the boxes, and many people curiously asked what was in the box. Duan generously recommended Lu Yao Snack Bar to them.
Chen Jiang added that snack bars sometimes broadcast live broadcasts, so you can pay attention to them in nearby cinemas and decide whether to eat Amway after watching the live broadcast.
Duan and Chen Jiang parted at the subway station and carefully carried two boxes of food home.
After returning home, Duan knocked on his brother's door. After a few minutes, a sleepy voice came from inside: "What's the matter?"
Duan said excitedly: "Brother, Chen Jiang and I went to that snack bar. The food in the store is really delicious. I brought you some. The owner also specially cooked a bowl of wonton soup that was not available in the store. Can you get up and eat some?"
Du Chen turned over in bed and answered listlessly, "Leave it there, I don't want to eat it."
Duan was a little anxious, "Brother, can you open the door and take a look? These foods are different from those made by magic. They are warm and fragrant. They taste like the real thing. You will definitely like it."
People with amnesia will become less talkative, less willing to go out, and gradually lose interest in everything around them. Then one day, they disappear and can never be found again.
Du Chen's condition has become very serious. Originally, as a guard of Qingshan Amusement Park, he had a cheerful personality, was active at work, and often played difficult games.
Duan remembered that there was a period of time when Du Chen was crazy and played restricted games continuously. It lasted for about half a year. After that, Du Chen suddenly resigned from the position of guard of the amusement park, locked himself in the room, and refused to come out or communicate with others.
Duan realized that his brother's condition was very similar to the early symptoms of amnesia. He asked people he knew and thought of many ways, but Du Chen's condition was getting worse day by day.
Amnesia is a disease equivalent to terminal illness in this world.
All the methods that can be thought of have been tried countless times by predecessors, but no effective measures to overcome this disease have been found so far.
Duan was anxious and at a loss. His good friend Chen Jiang was worried that he was also suffering from amnesia, so he asked him to go to the cinema to relax. By chance, he saw the live broadcast of the snack bar.
The door was still closed. Duan stood at the door for more than ten minutes, knocking on the door from time to time, but there was no response. His brother didn't want to talk to him anymore.
Duan returned to the living room in disappointment and placed the two large boxes of food brought back from Area A on the table.
He opened the lids of the sweet soup and spicy grilled wings, restrainedly took a sip of the tempting aroma, and felt the depression in his heart dissipate slightly. He got up and went back to his room, thinking about how to let his brother try the food in the snack bar.
In the living room, the food that was forgotten to close the lid was steaming, and the unique aroma of cooked food began to spread in the room.
Du Chen lay powerlessly on the bed, feeling depressed and unwilling to move.
His brows were furrowed, but his breathing was light. A strange yet pleasant scent was quivering at the tip of his nose, as if it was there and not there.
Du Chen thought he was hallucinating, but he actually smelled the aroma of food.
The smell became stronger and stronger, as if it was just outside the room.
They already had a keen sense of smell, and the guards' five senses were more sensitive than ordinary people.
Du Chen was sure that he smelled the aroma of what seemed to be food. He was not quite conscious just now, and Duan seemed to come back and knocked on his door.
What did he say?
Du Chen couldn't remember, he just felt that the fragrance coming from outside the door kept tempting him, but he didn't want to get up.
After about five minutes of hesitating, the smell of food was weakening. Du Chen couldn't stand it anymore, and struggled to get up from the bed. It was
the first time he walked out of the room in two months.
There was no one in the living room, and there was a box with a pleasant smell on the table.
Du Chen vaguely remembered that Duan said he went to a snack bar in Area A and brought him a portion.
The two open lids of food were no longer hot. Du Chen picked up the spicy chicken wings and took a bite casually. His cloudy eyes gradually became clear, and he sat down and started eating.
A pair of spicy grilled wings was not enough for him to fill his teeth. He finished it in a few bites and picked up the wine-brewed meatballs.
He leaned over to sniff it, and his eyes curled up unconsciously.
Sweet!
Du Chen likes sweets, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva just by smelling the nostalgic sweet rice wine.
Even though it was cold, he didn't dislike it at all. He savored it carefully, spoonful by spoonful, and ate it with extra care.
After eating the wine-brewed meatballs, Du Chen found that the unopened boxes were warm to the touch, and he thought that there were good things inside.
He picked up the largest box and opened it with great anticipation. The special spiciness of white pepper mixed with the fragrance of chopped green onions hit his nose, which made him feel excited. It turned out to be wontons. There
was also a portion of chili oil dipping sauce. The chili seemed to be roasted in a thin layer of oil and then crushed, and it smelled particularly fragrant.
After eating this hot bowl, wouldn't he be in heaven?
Du Chen picked up the bowl and took a sip of the hot soup. White pepper and salt added a base flavor to the soup. It was not bland, but just the right amount of spicy and salty. Du Chen could clearly feel the hot soup pouring down his throat, sliding through his abdominal cavity, and warming his stomach, steaming him so that he felt light and warm.
Suddenly, there was a quick knock on the door. Du Chen paused for a moment, without any intention of getting up, and picked up the chopsticks to start picking up the wontons.
The wontons did not get mushy in the hot soup, but still maintained the state when they were just out of the pot. Each one was full and round, with tender red meat filling under the slightly transparent skin.
The white skin was covered with a layer of bright red chili oil, which made people's mouths water.
Du Chen opened his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp. The skin was just the right thickness, not too invisible, but not too tough to affect the taste. The meat filling was chewy and smooth, so delicious that he wanted to stamp his feet.
The knock on the door continued. After a while, Chen Jiang's voice came: "Duan, Duan, are you home?"
Duan fell asleep in the room. He got up immediately after hearing the voice. When he came out, he noticed Du Chen sitting at the table at first sight. His eyes were full of joy. "Brother, you're up!"
"Yeah."
Du Chen ate the wontons noisily. He only gave his attention to his brother for a second. He opened the box of leek and egg pancakes and roasted pig's trotters. The delicious aroma entered his nose, and he completely entered into a frantic eating mode.
Duan didn't care, he happily ran to open the door, and immediately shared the news with his friends: "Chen Jiang, Chen Jiang, look, my brother is up."
Chen Jiang was pulled into the door, and was surprised to see Du Chen eating. He thought that this snack bar was really amazing, and even people with amnesia could not resist its temptation.
The packed food looked a lot, but in fact it was not much for them.
Du Chen felt that he had eaten it all in a short while. He touched his stomach with some disappointment, and looked up at his brother sitting opposite him, "Where did you buy these?"
"The snack bar next to the amusement park on the 99th floor of Area A." Duan saw that his brother's eyes were bright again, and he felt very happy.
Du Chen stood up and prepared to go out. "I'm not full. I want to go over there. Do you want to go?"
He was not full at all. He would feel comfortable after eating for at least three days and three nights.
Chen Jiang interrupted and said, "It's closed. You can't eat anything if you go over there today."
Du Chen was puzzled: "So early?"
Du An: "Her business is too hot. They sell in limited quantities and they always sell out quickly."
Chen Jiang remembered the reason why he went to Du An and immediately said, "But I just saw that small advertisement in the cinema. It's the scrolling note under the screen. The owner of the snack bar will start a live broadcast at 5:30. This time it seems to be cooking dinner."
Du An explained the live broadcast of the snack bar to Du Chen and told him that he was attracted to Area A by this live broadcast. Then he asked expectantly, "Brother, can we watch the live broadcast together?"
Even if he couldn't eat the food, it was a kind of enjoyment to watch the owner cook.
Du Chen had just eaten, and his mind was full of delicious food. He couldn't eat it for the time being, but he could go and see what this live broadcast was all about.
As far as he knew, each cinema corresponded to an amusement park, and could only broadcast live the games being played in the neighboring amusement park.
He had never seen a live broadcast from Area A being played in a cinema in Area D, not to mention that the small shop didn't even belong to the amusement park.
Maybe interesting things are happening in this world.
Du Chen felt that the vitality he had lost in the past few months had returned to his body, and his body and mind, which had been occupied by emptiness, had found a new goal.
He nodded and said, "Then let's go and see."
Du An turned to look at Chen Jiang, and both of them had disbelief in their eyes.
Originally just wanting to give it a try, Du Chen's condition actually improved, and he was even willing to go out.
This was simply a blessing from heaven. Duan couldn't help thanking Lu Yao and the snack bar in her heart. She immediately stood up and prepared to go out, fearing that Du Chen would change his mind the next second.
At 5:30 pm, Lu Yao started the live broadcast on time and changed the name of the live broadcast room - Midnight Diner.
As soon as she entered the live broadcast room, she found that there were more than 300 viewers watching online.
Compared with the big internet celebrities in the world, this number is nothing, but compared with herself in the morning, it was a big step forward.
With the experience of live broadcasting, Lu Yao was more relaxed than before. He greeted the audience as soon as he came in: "Hello everyone, this is the late night cafeteria of Lu Yao Snack Shop. Today is Bai Ming's first day on the job. To celebrate, the owner, Bai Ming and Xingzi are going to prepare a sumptuous dinner together."
Bai Ming, who was cutting a fish by the pool, raised his head, his ruby-red eyes flashed, "To celebrate for me?"
Lu Yao was washing vegetables nearby and nodded gently: "Yes, I am not... Did you forget to tell me?"
Bai Ming skillfully cut open the belly of the fish and removed the internal organs. He was in a good mood to begin with, and when he learned that dinner was specially prepared for him, his mood became even more high: "Boss, if there is anything else you need, just tell me.
" Xingzi was peeling shrimps, and when she heard the conversation between the two, she was full of envy, and turned to ask Lu Yao: "Boss, will I get one when I start working?"
Lu Yao nodded, "Of course, when Xingzi officially starts working, we will have another big meal."
Xingzi was also happy, and peeled a plate of shrimps in a few "swish".
Lu Yao handed the other ingredients that needed to be processed to the two people, and walked to the grill with the fish he had just processed.
"I'll prepare the grilled fish first."
There were more than 500 viewers online, and countless bullet screens passed by.
"They actually prepared a dinner to celebrate the clerk's hiring. I just wanted to ask if the store is still hiring?"
"The store owner is so nice. I envy the guy who started today."
"What does grilled fish taste like?"
Lu Yao clamped the fish with a special metal mesh plate and put it on the grill, turning it over from time to time. He took the time to glance at the barrage and replied, "The store is hiring recently. We need chefs and waiters. Friends who are interested can come for an interview. I'm going to make the grilled fish with pickled pepper flavor, and I'll also fry potato chips and rice cakes later."
"!!! Rice cakes and potato chips? Ahhhhh, I want to eat them so much!"
"I also like grilled fish with pickled pepper flavor. Fried potato chips are the best. I can't help drooling just thinking about it!"
"My saliva is already flowing to my feet!" Lu Yao
was quick and skillful. He grilled the fish until the skin was slightly charred, removed it from the heat and roasted the side dishes in another pan.
The other ingredients have been cleaned and placed on the grill.
About 20 minutes later, dinner is ready.
Lu Yao prepared two small charcoal boxes and placed them on the table, one for heating the grilled fish. Oysters, grilled shrimp skewers, meat skewers and some grilled vegetables were served on a plate and placed on another charcoal box to keep warm.
Xingzi brought two bottles of wine and Lu Yao brought another bottle of drink.
Outside the window, the bright moon was hanging high, and the stars were like gems hanging under the sky. The three of them sat by the window, chatting and eating.
As soon as the grilled fish was served, it attracted everyone's attention.
Bai Ming and Xingzi had gleams in their eyes, but they did not move first, and looked at Lu Yao with restraint.
Lu Yao raised his chopsticks, "Let's eat!"
Bai Ming and Xingzi's chopsticks reached accurately for the fragrant grilled fish.
Lu Yao preferred steamed oysters, so he first took a fat steamed oyster, took out the meat and dipped it in a little mustard soy sauce.
Oysters are soft, tender and plump. When eaten with mustard, they are so spicy that tears come to your eyes, but you can't stop eating.
Bai Ming took a bite of the grilled fish and noticed Lu Yao's behavior. He imitated her and ate the oysters with a thick layer of mustard. The spiciness made him blink, and tears condensed in his red pupils like stars.
He shook his head and felt refreshed again.
Xingzi drank a little wine and ate grilled fish. There were also grilled garlic oysters, scallops and beef on the side. Soon her face was red from eating.
The audience outside the screen was almost crazy after seeing this.
"Ahhhhh, I want to eat that oyster so much! Is it dipped in mustard? I miss that taste!"
"The owner is a devil, why do I have to watch this at night!!!"
"The grilled fish looks so delicious, let the child have one bite, just one bite!"
Qingshan Rakuen Cinema.
Duan and Chen Jiang stared at the screen, their lapels wet with saliva, but they didn't come to their senses. The grilled fish, oysters, prawns, scallops with vermicelli and garlic sauce, and grilled tofu with enoki mushrooms on the screen looked so delicious.
Next to them, Du Chen stared deeply at Lu Yao on the screen and the real night outside the window.
A challenger who accidentally walked in here, and a type he had never seen before, was really interesting.
That night, the late-night canteen was very popular in areas A, B, and D, and Lu Yao drank too much, ate too much, and was so sleepy that she fell asleep before clearing the table.
In the middle of the night, she suddenly heard a hurried knock on the door. Just when she was feeling annoyed, the sound disappeared again.
The next morning, Lu Yao woke up in the store, wrapped in a thick blanket. The store had already been cleaned up, probably because Bai Ming and Xingzi had cleaned it up when they left.
Her two shop assistants are really good.
Lu Yao simply washed up in the store, made sure that the ingredients for today had been prepared yesterday, opened the store door, and suddenly took a step back in shock. There was something blocking the door.
After a while, the door was pushed open from the outside, and a man in a high-end suit stood at the door.
Lu Yao glanced outside the door and was clearly still in another world. The man in front of her looked very familiar. She held her forehead and thought for a while. It seemed that he was the man in a suit who stopped her to ask for directions yesterday afternoon.
But yesterday, the place where they met was another world.
The man seemed to have just woken up and didn't know what happened: "Why am I here?"
