Chapter 191 Cafeteria
The buffet restaurant welcomed its busiest crowd of customers.
It not only accommodates new customers, but also guests staying upstairs who are trying to get along with them.
Team Su Mei also mixed in and soon became close to Penny, establishing a friendly friendship.
The buffet restaurant's abundant food and unlimited drinks were overwhelming, making the indigenous people, who hadn't eaten and drunk so comfortably for a long time, smile happily.
Xia Yan asked Zhikang to keep an eye on the food counter at all times and replenish it in time if there was anything missing. In order to prevent a shortage of manpower, she transferred two employees from upstairs to help.
After ten minutes, the original audio recording of the precautions was changed to a soothing piano piece.
The children took their plates, grabbed handfuls of QQ gummy candies and orange juice, and sat in a row, watching Tom and Jerry on TV with great interest.
An elderly woman carried a plate of steaks and distributed them to everyone, muttering, "Eat more meat, and make sure you're full."
"Ah, grandma, don't block the TV!" The children swayed back and forth, and a few pieces of marshmallows rolled out of the plate and stopped after hitting a pair of homemade straw sandals.
Lin bent down and put her reading glasses in front of her eyes. "What a sin! Such good candy is wasted like this?!"
She was furious, her old face was full of wrinkles, and she looked at the group of children fiercely.
The children moved back in fear, huddled together, and silently prayed in their hearts that the old witch would go away quickly.
Lin pursed her thin lips, snorted coldly, picked up the candies one by one, blew on them, threw them into her mouth and chewed them hard.
"Don't waste it anymore, you hear me?"
The children were like chicks pecking at rice, holding the plate tightly with their little hands, for fear that even one grain would fall.
Lin nodded expressionlessly, then walked to the food counter and put some vegetable leaves on her plate.
Xia Yan was wiping off the dripping oil stains. She glanced at her glasses, which were almost unusable. "There are glasses for sale in the store inside the store. If you need them, you can go over and take a look."
Lin paused as she picked up the food, looked at her and said emotionlessly, "Thank you."
Xia Yan shrugged, not caring about her attitude.
At this time, Zhikang came over with his "special" ingredients. He didn't open the lid, but put his hand on it and rubbed it slightly, looking quite nervous.
"boss..."
"Um?"
"Can I put the ingredients here? It's shameful to waste them..." He would never say that he couldn't bear to see his carefully prepared food being thrown into the trash.
Xia Yan pinched the bridge of his nose, "You mean fried centipedes and fried spiders?"
Zhijiang's eyes were innocent. "There is also snake soup. The snakes were sent by Captain Su Mei."
"I remember that you can't eat food that's been left overnight, right?"
"Boss, yesterday's has been thrown into the trash can. This is fresh today." Zhikang pretended to open it and show it to her.
"Hey, don't move. Let me think about it." Xia Yan waved her hand and told him to go play aside. She was going to find something for him to do later so that he wouldn't have to "poison" her nerves by always frying the five poisonous creatures.
Zhikang turned around helplessly, lowering his long eyelashes to hide the disappointment in his eyes.
Then he looked Lin in the eye.
Lin felt as if she had been electrocuted. Her highly myopic eyes saw through him clearly, and an indescribable love for her son surged up in her. She seemed to see another person through her eyes.
Lin's lips trembled and her voice broke. "Child, let me taste the food on your plate."
"Are you... sure?"
"Yes, give them all to me, my favorite——"
Zhigang opened the lid, revealing the special features inside. He tilted his head slightly and asked innocently, "Can I give them all to you?"
Lin's expression froze instantly. "Yes, sure."
"Thank you so much, you are such a good person." Zhikang's mouth corners were raised, his eyes were bright, and he looked even more sunny and handsome.
Under Zhikang's continuous flattery, Lin completely lost her mind, looked at him with interest, grabbed a piece of cake and bit it in her mouth, enjoying the crunch.
"Manager Zhigang is really good at cooking. It's very easy to eat and very suitable for an old lady like me."
"As long as you like it."
Xia Yan, who was watching the show on the side, couldn't help but give Zhi Kang a thumbs up from a place where Lin couldn't see. He really had a way.
Zhichang lowered his head and smiled gently.
Xia Yan walked around the buffet restaurant and saw that no one was wasting food. After giving a few words to the staff, he left with peace of mind and returned to the leisure area to start eating his dinner.
She planned to clear all the weeds on the farm tomorrow and then start cleaning outside. With this in mind, she ordered four more lawn mowers and two all-purpose trash cans at the mall.
Xia Yan placed the things in a safe area and hired two employees to guard it.
As dusk gradually falls, the stars in the sky are revealed, a bright moon hangs on the treetops, and shadows are looming in the distance.
The hotel is brightly lit, and the lively atmosphere is clearly visible through the transparent glass of the cafeteria.
Xia Yan lay in the rocking chair, enjoying the night view as it swayed back and forth.
It seems that the customers will not leave tonight. Not bad, not bad, another profit. Tomorrow I will invite them upstairs to watch a few movies, and the day after tomorrow I will invite them to travel to Lidai Island, and try to entice them to stay a few more days.
Xia Yan was even considering buying a speedboat, taking a 15-minute trip overseas for 50 points per person, and then having a beach BBQ. As for ingredients, weren't there plenty of farms out there?
She straightened up and the distance was no longer dark.
It was not until ten o'clock in the evening that the guests stopped renewing their buffet restaurant subscriptions and went to the front desk to find Xiong Xiong to check in.
Xia Yan arranged for employees on each floor to wait at the elevator entrance early in the morning. In order to prevent accidents, the hotel's security system was upgraded to the highest level.
High-quality service, comfortable rooms, and a restaurant with a full range of food, Xia Yan just didn't believe that this couldn't win the hearts of customers?
Sure enough, the next day she heard customers praising the product non-stop, with all of them giving it five-star reviews.
In response to the customers' sincere expressions, Xia Yan spread her hands and accepted the entire order. At the end, she also praised the other party for having good taste.
"There's a movie theater upstairs. If you're bored, you can go up and watch a movie to relax."
Who has been to the cinema after the apocalypse? When they heard that Boss Xia could still watch movies here, they all followed the store manager Xiongxiong upstairs.
Is 50 points per person for a movie expensive? If you use a color crystal core you don't like, it's completely free.
Xia Yan watched with satisfaction as they all followed Xiong Xiong upstairs. He felt that it was safe and they would not come downstairs for most of the day.
After watching the comedy, there will be a science fiction film, and then there will be an animation. Maybe some people like to watch a horror film. The whole set will be at least four hours long.
Let’s go and get to work.
She walked into the safe area and saw Zhikang busy driving a lawn mower, with another employee picking up things behind his car.
Xiongxiong won’t come down for the time being, so it seems I have to do the weeding task myself.
Xia Yan sat on the lawn mower to familiarize himself with the operation, then set off with a thud.
At this moment, a cry of surprise came from behind, "Oh my God."
