Chapter 178
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Xiping. Yueting New Year's barbecue buffet is here as promised...
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Xiping.
Yueting New Year BBQ buffet has arrived as scheduled, and admission is scheduled to open at noon every day.
Xiao Yue and everyone else started carrying things over early in the morning, mainly ingredients and various marinades.
Fu Xunzhou had people prepare the location of Linxiping long ago, and even built a temporary shed to serve as a kitchen and cold storage room.
After all, it is a self-service barbecue, so most of the ingredients only need to be marinated and placed in the ingredient area, and customers can take them themselves.
Xiao Yue also prepared a special stove for barbecue, which is actually the hot pot table unique to the South Street branch. You can put greaseproof paper on the groove and start grilling directly, or you can remove the temperature control plate and put in the charcoal fire and grill.
However, Xiao Yue felt that since it was an open-air barbecue, everyone would definitely use charcoal fire more often, because the food grilled over charcoal fire would have a more smoky flavor.
Everything is ready!
Duan Lin, who was in charge of maintaining order throughout the event, glanced at the densely packed crowd outside Linxiping, suppressed his amazement and began to let people in.
Although the weather is cold, it can't stop everyone's enthusiasm.
Along with the noise, groups of customers came in. Both adults and children were wearing red clothes, which looked festive and auspicious at first glance.
This sea of red soon covered Linxiping, and the noise filled half the sky.
Almost everyone has been to Yueting Self-service Restaurant and knows how to be self-sufficient. Even if they don’t know, most of them come with relatives and friends, follow the signs to the food area, get what they want to eat, find a table and start grilling.
“Sizzle!”
The sound of oil popping was heard one after another, and white fireworks filled the air.
It didn't take long before various exclamations of praise were heard. Everyone was amazed while eating, and the most common words they uttered were: It was worth the trip!
In the kitchen, Xiao Yue marinated the last of the New Orleans-style chicken wings. When he looked up, he saw that the entire Linxiping was full of people.
Fortunately, there is enough space. After all, this is the largest event venue in Liuyun City.
If this place is not enough, where else can the customers of Yueting Buffet be seated?
Customers of Yueting Self-service...
Xiao Yue was in a trance for a few seconds when he thought of this, because everyone who came to Lin Xiping today must have heard of the four words "Yueting Self-service".
But she was not only confused about this, she also remembered that during the Zhihuai Festival, there were two cities and many stalls of shops set up here.
Now, this place belongs to Yueting Self-service.
And the first day is definitely not the most crowded time, as most people will spend New Year's Eve at home and then rush here.
Then the number of people will reach its peak two days before the event ends.
Xiao Yue couldn't help but feel excited. When he came back to his senses, he saw someone at the nearest table greeting him, and he immediately responded with a smile.
Half an hour later, the food in the food section was almost gone.
Xiao Yue sent the marinated meat over one by one to replenish it, making sure that there was no gap.
Even if she has the help of a puppet, she is the boss of Yueting Self-service. Shouldn't she observe the situation at all times and set an example?
The sisters in the store were actually helping out, but most of the work was done by Puppet, so they set up a few barbecue tables next to the kitchen and helped while eating.
Fu Xunzhou assisted Xiao Yue throughout the whole process. Whenever he had time, he would bring her warm water and baked food, showing his deep concern for her.
Seeing this scene, everyone at Yueting Buffet who were eating barbecue nearby couldn't help but smile.
Fang Fang was the most talkative. She brought some barbecue and melon seeds, and went to the corner with a few sisters to chat.
Xiao Yue: “…”
Xiao Yue looked at Fang Fang, then at Fu Xunzhou, and finally at the roasted chicken leg in his hand.
Well, let’s eat first as a sign of respect.
——
This year's New Year in Liuyun City is particularly different and extremely lively.
There are fireworks to watch every night at Lotus Lake, South Street is filled with free food, and even the various gadgets jointly created by the academy and the City Lord's Mansion are open to outsiders for fun.
However, the most lively place is Linxiping. The New Year barbecue at Yueting Buffet brings people a full sense of happiness.
For several days in a row, people came and went in the huge venue, and the New Year atmosphere became stronger and stronger.
Just as Xiao Yue guessed, there were more people in the last two days, and they were the customers who rushed here to eat the barbecue buffet.
Whether it is Qingyun City, Shancheng or Huaicheng, the number of people has doubled!
Chi Yi finally arrived, and arrived with Hu Lang.
Seeing these two people, Xiao Yue's heart burst with joy. He briefly explained Alang's concern for him and said that fortunately it was not an irreversible situation.
All this is thanks to Chi Yi.
Speaking of this, Xiao Yue was filled with mixed emotions again.
That night, the young man was alone in the darkness, holding a dagger in his hand... It was impressive enough.
"No, no, it was me who almost hurt you!" Chi Yi waved his hands in shame. He knew about the white pancake and sighed, "If I hadn't been burned by the stove and recovered in time, who knows what would have happened."
Xiao Yue shook his head and said seriously: "Anyway, I have to thank Brother Chi for saving me. If you need any help in the future, just let me know!"
She did everything she could!
Chi Yi felt even more embarrassed and glanced at Hu Lang standing beside him.
"That person's methods are not very clever." Hu Lang didn't seem to notice and sneered, "Most people would wait and see about this kind of thing and would not completely believe it."
The price increase happened so suddenly, and it was not announced by the boss himself. Even if there was a megaphone, we can only hear the voice but not see the person, so the credibility is only 60%.
Xiao Yue nodded, agreeing with her.
In fact, including Hu Lang and Fang Sanhong, they didn't know Luo Zhi's true purpose. They just thought he was a backstabber, greedy for money and fame.
Xiao Yue thought about it and decided not to explain from the beginning what Luo Zhi was trying to do. The main reason was that he was involved with the Dachen royal family, and she didn't want to be involved with these people.
So Xiao Yue just said: "Anyway, Yue Ting has gotten through this disaster on her own, and the new year will definitely be better!"
This was heard by the sisters nearby, and they all agreed as soon as they finished speaking.
"Of course it will be better with you here." Fu Xunzhou brought new barbecue to Xiao Yue and responded very naturally.
Xiao Yue received everyone's speechless gazes. He coughed lightly and started to eat the barbecue happily.
Hu Lang was puzzled by this scene. He looked around and saw that everyone looked as if they were used to it.
Only Chi Yi looked at Fu Xunzhou, then at Xiao Yue, and finally looked up at the woman who was almost a head taller than him, with a thoughtful expression.
*
the next day.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, which was the last day of Yueting's New Year BBQ self-service, the customer flow did not decrease much, but most of the customers who were supposed to come had arrived.
The whole point of self-service barbecue is the satisfaction of doing it yourself, and with nearly thirty kinds of dipping sauces, no one will get tired of it.
But the customers were not tired of it. The aroma of the barbecue made Duan Lin and others who were responsible for maintaining order very hungry.
But they cannot leave their posts without permission and can only eat occasionally during breaks in their shifts, or wait for acquaintances to bring them food.
Today is the last day, and to ensure that no one slacks off and makes mistakes, the shift will be delayed by a quarter of an hour.
So Xiao Yue, who had nothing to do, grilled several plates of barbecue, including meat and vegetables, and prepared to send them to Duan Lin and the others.
When the last plate was baked, a man in black came from a distance and whispered something to Fu Xunzhou.
Xiao Yue only saw him frowning slightly and his expression became strange.
"Xiao Yue." Fu Xunzhou looked at her and said, "I have something to do and will be back soon."
Xiao Yue nodded, responded, and watched him leave quickly.
There is rarely such a rush.
Xiao Yue didn't think much about it, summoned the puppet to help serve the barbecue, and took it to the entrance of Linxiping.
The weather is nice today, and the sunshine makes me feel warm.
Duan Lin and the officers and soldiers of the City Lord's Mansion saw Xiao Yue's shadow from afar. They knew what she was here for, but they couldn't show their expectations too obviously. It was really unbearable.
Fortunately, Xiao Yue came closer, and at Duan Lin's command, everyone gathered around with their saliva swallowed.
“It smells so good!”
"I want chicken wings...how come your hands are so fast!"
"I've been smelling barbecue for five days and it's just not enough!"
“I can’t eat enough!”
"Thank you, Madam Xiao!"
Duan Lin felt a little embarrassed to watch, so he thanked him immediately and then started to show off wildly.
Even though Xiao Yuelai had delivered barbecue several times, he was still shocked by how fast they ate.
I guess I was hungrier than usual today, and the food was delivered a little later, so the few plates of barbecue were quickly finished.
Xiao Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was just thinking about asking them what they wanted to eat, and then going back to bake it and asking the puppet to bring it to them.
Before she could open her mouth, a female voice came to her ears.
"Duan Lin."
Everyone at the door was stunned for a moment. Xiao Yue clearly saw that Duan Lin was not only stunned when his name was called, but his eyes widened.
Xiao Yue looked along with him, and saw a woman just lowering the curtain and getting off the carriage outside Linxiping.
She was wearing a light golden silk dress and a white plush cloak embroidered with golden lotus. The hairpins on her head swayed slightly with her movements, and her every move was elegant and noble.
Especially when she walked over, her graceful swaying figure seemed like a lotus flower with every step.
As he got closer, Xiao Yue could see that the woman's face was also perfect, with fair skin, delicate features, and...
A pair of dark brown eyes.
Xiao Yue's heart moved, and he found that the woman was also looking at him, with an emotion that was hard to guess, but not malicious.
On the contrary, the faint smile on her lips exudes laziness and calmness, giving people a very comfortable feeling.
"Young Miss... why is she here?" Duan Lin was different. He felt terrible: "Young Master, he, he is not..."
Xiao Yue only saw the woman glance at him lightly, with an attitude like a natural superior.
"He's going to pick me up?"
"yes!"
When Duan Lin answered, he also looked at Xiao Yue, as if he wanted to say something but had to hold it back.
Xiao Yue didn't quite understand what he meant, but she realized that when Fu Xunzhou mentioned that he had something to do, he meant that he was going to pick someone up.
As a result...the person came here by himself?
The woman sneered and said unconcernedly: "If he doesn't even care about me, why would I need him to pick me up?"
Duan Lin stuttered and was unable to speak.
Xiao Yue now realized that he had a kind of respect, or awe, for the woman and was afraid that he might say something wrong.
Just as she was thinking about it, the woman looked at her again, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
"The New Year in Liuyun City is more lively than in the capital. I heard that Yueting Zibu is holding a New Year barbecue at Linxiping... Boss Xiao, I am not late, am I?"
Xiao Yue didn't ask her how she knew her identity, and smiled and said, "Although it's the last day, it's not too late. There are still ingredients and dipping sauces. You can have whatever you want to eat."
"Really?" The woman's tone rose slightly, and she took a few steps forward and said, "I haven't been to Floating Cloud City for a long time, so I'm not familiar with it. If the boss is not busy, can you take me to taste it?"
"sure!"
Xiao Yue was happy to serve her, not only because of the inexplicable affection she had for her, but also because she was curious about the identity of the person who could make Fu Xunzhou go to pick her up.
But the answer...seems to be obvious.
She had "misunderstood" this special eye color once before, when his identity was still non-existent.
