Chapter 371 Restaurant Matters
"Of course, I rented out this shop before. But didn't I reorganize it last time and open a barbecue restaurant and a grilled fish restaurant? I took back the shop at that time." Chen Jinye explained.
"I thought if I kept the shop, I could open a restaurant for you, right? So I didn't rent it out."
"I'll let you open a restaurant in this shop. It's quite large, with about three floors and a total area of about 5,000 square meters. Can you open a restaurant in such a large shop?" Chen Jinye asked.
"A 5,000-square-meter shop is big enough to open a restaurant, but you're just going to rent it to me like that?" Tu Rongrong was very surprised. She did have a large planet on the Blue Star, but it was too remote.
The Capital City is different. There are so many people coming and going every day, and the resident population is also very large. It must be profitable to open a restaurant in such a prosperous Capital City.
"I'm renting the shop to you, not giving it to you as a gift. You don't have to feel embarrassed." Chen Jinye said with a smile, "If you are willing to marry me, it's not impossible for me to give you this shop as a betrothal gift. But you haven't agreed to me yet, right? So I'm renting it to you."
Chen Jinye told Tu Rongrong about the shop and went back, and gave her the authority to operate the shop.
After all, it was very nice to take a break from his busy schedule to come and see his sweetheart and have a meal. Now it was almost dark, and he had to go back to continue his work.
After sending Chen Jinye away, Tu Rongrong came back and continued to talk to his apprentices about opening a restaurant.
"Goddess, are you really going to open a new restaurant in the capital? If so, won't I have to stay in the capital for a long time?" Hua Yaoyao asked.
"Actually, opening a restaurant on the Capital Star is not bad. I originally planned to open a restaurant on the Aquamarine Star and let Xingye and others be the head chefs to hone their abilities." Tu Rongrong said with a smile.
"But you all know that Planet Aquamarine is quite remote. Although our Planet Aquamarine is a little famous now, it's still far behind the Capital Planet, isn't it? So, opening a restaurant on Planet Aquamarine is not as good as opening one on the Capital Planet."
"My apprentices' cooking skills have improved a lot. Although it's a bit difficult for them to manage a restaurant alone, if the six of them work together, they will definitely create a very famous restaurant."
"Goddess, even if each of them opens a restaurant, it will be very famous. After all, they are all your disciples." Olfina also said.
"In fact, several restaurants have opened up in the past few months. The recipes released by the goddess have helped them train a lot of chefs. Although their cooking skills are not as good as the goddess and the boss, they are also very good." Ming Sangsang said.
"The online reviews of those restaurants are quite good. Even the food made by robots is something we have never eaten before, so they think that even the food made by robots is very delicious."
"Most of the chefs in those restaurants are robots. Compared to humans, robots must execute orders meticulously, and the food they make can be guaranteed to taste good. If humans make the dish and make even the slightest mistake, the dish will be ruined. That's why most restaurants now use robots as chefs."
After hearing Ming Sangsang's words, everyone looked at him in surprise. "Sangsang, when will you start researching data? Isn't this kind of work usually done by Shu Xin?"
"What's so strange about that? I also surf the Internet, so of course I'll pay attention to things that interest me." Ming Sangsang rolled his eyes.
"Alright, alright, stop it." Shu Xin interrupted Ming Sangsang and Hua Yaoyao's quarrel with a smile, and said to Chu Xingye, Tu Rongrong and the others, "Since we want to open a restaurant, we must go and inspect it, and we also need to choose a time to open it."
"In half a month, it will be the performance to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the male idol's debut. So, should we choose to open the store before or after the performance?" Shu Xin asked with a smile.
"Let's open the restaurant before, say, a week before the performance. There will definitely be a lot of people attending Chen Jinye's performance at that time. We can take advantage of this opportunity to open the restaurant and attract a lot of customers." Tu Rongrong thought for a moment and said, "If we open the restaurant after Chen Jinye's performance, we don't know if his fans will leave Capital Star after the performance. So it's better to open the restaurant in advance."
"That's not bad, then."
"The restaurant also needs to be renovated. I forgot to ask Chen Jinye about the restaurant before. I don't know if it has been renovated and whether it meets our requirements for opening a restaurant." Tu Rongrong felt annoyed when she thought of this.
"If Miss Tu wants to know, why not go and have a field trip? It would be better to see it with your own eyes, right? Of course, you have the final say on how to make changes and renovations." Chen Lixing also suggested.
Tu Rongrong and the others thought Chen Lixing's suggestion made sense, so they nodded and said, "Then let's go take a look tomorrow. It's less than a week until we open the store, so the sooner we go, the sooner the decoration can be completed."
"Right, right, right. There's less than a week left, so we need to confirm everything." He Junqing and Zhou Chuyan nodded, then looked at Tu Rongrong and said, "Master, a restaurant this big definitely won't just be run by the six of us, right? We'll definitely need kitchen helpers, waiters, and the like, too, right? What should we do with them?"
"It depends on what you want. It's your freedom to choose whether to hire robots or human employees. After all, we will work with you in the future, so you can make your own decision." Tu Rongrong didn't have any idea about this. She opened a restaurant to train her apprentices and to test how well their cooking skills have improved, so she let the apprentices decide for themselves.
"Let's find some humans to help in the kitchen." Chu Xingye said, looking at Tu Rongrong seriously, "Not many of us can be chefs in a restaurant peacefully, so it's better to train other chefs as soon as possible."
"Yes, the eldest brother is a bounty hunter, and I am almost the same, so it is unlikely that we can stay in one place and work in the restaurant kitchen all the time, so we need to train other chefs to replace us as soon as possible." Zheng Qiulin also said.
"Okay, if possible, you can find more people. By the way, the one hundred students in our cooking class should be good too. It would be nice if you could contact them, persuade them to come and help you in the kitchen, and then bring them out." Tu Rongrong thought for a while and said.
"What Master said makes a lot of sense. They have learned a lot in the cooking classroom. Their cooking skills are definitely better than those who have no basic knowledge at all. If any of them are willing to come and help in the kitchen, our work will be a lot easier." He Junqing agreed with his master's words.
Chu Xingye and the others took care of the kitchen helpering. Tu Rongrong planned to go see the shop that Chen Jinye rented to her tomorrow, so she went back to bed early.
The others will also go to sleep, but Chu Xingye and the other chefs who are about to take over a restaurant will go to the cooking class in the second world to see if there is anyone willing to come and help them as kitchen helpers. If no one is willing, they will find a way to recruit new kitchen helpers.
Anyway, if they don’t recruit a human kitchen helper before opening the store, they will set the robot to kitchen helper mode. It’s impossible to delay the opening of the store.
The next day, Tu Rongrong and the others got up early in the morning and prepared to eat. Since she had an apprentice, Tu Rongrong rarely made breakfast. After all, her apprentices had already prepared breakfast every time she got up.
"Come with me to see the restaurant later. We need to plan the restaurant carefully." Tu Rongrong said while eating. Today's breakfast was shredded chicken porridge and fried dough sticks with soy milk. Tu Rongrong was not used to soaking fried dough sticks in soy milk or porridge, so she just ate while drinking a mouthful of porridge.
"Well, didn't the male god tell us to protect you, Master? We must follow you to support you. We can't let those idiots who want to find trouble look down on us." Zhou Chuyan said excitedly.
Tu Rongrong felt helpless when she saw her high spirits. This girl was obviously already thirty years old. In the 21st century, she would have become mature and steady. But now she was just as magical as the teenage girls she had met before.
Is it because people in this era have a long lifespan, and even ordinary people without special powers have a lifespan of two to three hundred years old, so thirty years old is still adolescence for them and not yet mature?
Tu Rongrong thought carefully about Zhou Chuyan's situation again. Thinking of her family's arrangements for her, she realized that she might not have had the opportunity yet because her family protected her. After all, after graduating from university, she would be arranged by her family to work in the company that her family wanted, which meant that she was well protected by her family.
Zhou Chuyan looked like she was anxious for chaos, but she had no intention of scolding her. Tu Rongrong was also not worried about others causing trouble for her. Although she didn't know how powerful she was, she was not afraid of these people at all in this era without demon catchers.
After deciding to visit some shops, the group had breakfast and prepared to go out.
Chen Lixing and a skilled bodyguard followed Tu Rongrong, while the others stayed in the shadows to protect her. As for Chu Xingye and the others, they didn't disperse. Together with Tu Rongrong's disciples, more than a dozen people went out in a grand procession.
Chen Lixing was driving a relatively spacious car. Although it couldn't seat more than a dozen people, it was still big enough for Tu Rongrong, her sister, and a few other girls to sit together. As for the men, they took a separate car.
The other side.
"Someone moved into Yelanyuan, which is under Chen Jinye's name, yesterday. Looks like Chen Jinye brought his internet celebrity lover back home?"
"I can't believe Chen Jinye would choose a poor internet celebrity over a lady from an aristocratic family. Is he blind?"
"If he likes Lin Qiuyi and wants to marry her in the future, I can tolerate it. But how can he look down on us, whose family backgrounds are so much better than that little internet celebrity?"
"Don't worry, she's just a little internet celebrity from a remote village. Even if she hadn't been expelled from the Tu family, she's not worthy of Chen Jinye. Just wait, Chen Jinye will abandon her when he's had enough fun with her."
"Yeah, what kind of things haven't happened in our circle? Aren't there many people who dream of becoming a phoenix? In the end, aren't they all abandoned? Marrying into a wealthy family? Forget your wishful thinking."
"Heh, didn't we ignore Yu Wanyue back then? And now? Hasn't she ended up spending hundreds of years in prison? This little internet celebrity named Tu Rongrong will definitely be abandoned in the future too!"
"Yes, yes, absolutely."
Chen Jinye is very charming, and the four sons of the Chen family are all single. Although not everyone likes Chen Jinye and his brothers, these few people add up to a lot, because the population base of this era is so large.
Not only are there many noble ladies in the Huameng Star Alliance who like Chen Jinye, but there are also many people in other Star Alliances who want to marry Chen Jinye, including some royal princesses.
Now that they knew that Chen Jinye actually fell in love with a young internet celebrity, not only did the daughters of the Huameng Star Alliance hate Tu Rongrong, the person who stole Chen Jinye's love, but even the daughters of the other galaxies wanted to tear her apart.
Because everyone has been paying close attention to Chen Jinye, many people received the news when Tu Rongrong and the others arrived at the capital planet yesterday and were arranged to live in Yelanyuan, which was owned by Chen Jinye.
After hearing the news that someone had moved into Ye Lan Garden, many people were furious, especially those women who had various thoughts about Chen Jinye. They smashed a lot of things and were so angry that they wanted to rush to Ye Lan Garden and tear Tu Rongrong apart.
But what was the point of their anger? Tu Rongrong was someone Chen Jinye was protecting. Everyone had seen what had happened to Yu Wanyue, the last person to attack Tu Rongrong, so they didn't dare to act rashly.
Originally, they were hoping to get rid of Tu Rongrong with Lin Qiuyi, the legendary "fiancée", but now Lin Qiuyi herself has clarified that the so-called "engagement" is just a rumor, and neither the Chen nor Lin families have made an engagement. They don't know where to vent their anger.
Now that little internet celebrity has come to the capital planet on her own. Although they cannot hire a killer to kill her like Yu Wanyue did, can't they still intimidate her, find fault with her, and embarrass her, a country bumpkin from a remote village?
They had only taunted her a few times, not hit her. If Chen Jinye had taken it out on his lover's behalf, it would have been embarrassing. After all, they hadn't done anything. The woman couldn't handle the bullying, so she could only blame herself for her own inability to endure it.
So when the people who were keeping an eye on Ye Lanyuan found out that Tu Rongrong and the others had gone out, they asked someone to keep an eye on them and told them their destination. They wanted to meet her by chance and see what this legendary lover of Chen Jinye was capable of.
It was actually not very far from Chen Jinye's Yelanyuan to the shop under his name. In addition, the transportation was very fast nowadays, so it took them less than half an hour to reach the address of the shop.
Tu Rongrong looked at the tall building in front of her. The building was probably more than a hundred stories high, which surprised her. Although such a tall building was not uncommon in this era, she, a "country bumpkin" from an era when tall buildings more than a hundred stories high were rare, was still very surprised to see it.
This building not only has many floors, but also a large area. Tu Rongrong took a quick look and estimated that the area of each floor is probably tens of thousands of square meters. The third floor that Chen Jinye bought is over 5,000 square meters, which gives you an idea of how large the area of a floor is.
Tu Rongrong and the others got out of the car. Chen Lixing handed the car to the mall staff and asked them to park it, then he took Tu Rongrong and the others inside.
This mall was originally invested and built by the Space-Time Group. Of course, it was built before Chen Jinye took over the Space-Time Group. Chen Jinye took advantage of the opportunity and bought the three-story shop.
Because it was built by the Spacetime Group, Chen Jinye had a lot of discounts when he bought it. Although it cost him all the money he had saved over the years, he was able to earn the money back later.
Chen Jinye, who had taken back this shop because he had to reorganize the shops under his name, did not rent it out again in order to leave it for his future wife to open a shop. He knew that his sweetheart had always wanted to open a restaurant.
Regardless of whether she wanted to open a restaurant on Aquamarine or Capital Star, it would be beneficial for him if his wife could stay on Capital Star for a long time, right? So Chen Jinye generously gave his future wife a discount and rented the shop to her.
The mall was huge, reportedly 180 floors long, and sold a wide variety of items, though it lacked a restaurant. After all, in those early days, there was no such thing as fine dining in the interstellar world, and the few chefs who did exist were only those from wealthy families, so it was a given that the mall lacked a restaurant.
However, ever since Starlight and Aquamarine Star cooperated, this space-time mall started selling all kinds of food produced by Starlight, including oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, rice, noodles, etc.
When Tu Rongrong took the elevator upstairs, she heard Chen Lixing's introduction to this mall. Of course, such a large mall could not have all the shops belonging to the Space-Time Group. Some of them were rented out.
The mall has everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation. Although there is no restaurant, there is a nutritional supplement store and various ready-to-eat foods produced by Starlight. The mall has everything you need in a wide variety.
Tu Rongrong came here today to inspect the shops, not to go shopping, so even though she was quite interested in the mall, she had no intention of going down to have a look. She decided to wait until she finished inspecting the shops.
"bite--"
Just as Tu Rongrong and her group were going up in the elevator, the elevator door opened. Several women in bright clothes stood outside the door looking at Tu Rongrong and her group. Beside them were several men who were very handsome but had a temperament that made people feel uncomfortable.
The elevator in the mall is very large, so even if there are more than a dozen people like Tu Rongrong inside, it can still accommodate a lot of people. The elevator can carry fifty people at a time, so Tu Rongrong and the others didn't see anything wrong with the men and women outside the door wanting to enter the elevator.
However, the other party looked at Tu Rongrong, who was standing in the middle, with a very uncomfortable look, and asked the people around her to protect her. Not only did Tu Rongrong feel uncomfortable with that look, but Chu Xingye and the others also felt very uncomfortable.
"Are you the little internet celebrity who came from the countryside and hooked up with the second young master of the Chen family? You don't look that good either, much worse than the second young master Chen's fiancée." The man and woman outside the door walked in. The beautiful woman in the lead said to Tu Rongrong with a look of disgust.
Tu Rongrong, sensing that the visitor has ill intentions: "..." The love rival who is trying to sow discord is here?
