Chapter 57 Lu Yuan is only special to you
In the food business, taste is the most important thing. Gu Qingshi didn't raise the prices much. Except for special orders, the ordinary dishes were similar to those of other restaurants.
The taste is good and the price is not expensive, so everyone is naturally willing to try it. On the first day of opening, the effect was so good that it exceeded Gu Qingshi’s expectations.
It was also Gu Qingshi’s first time to open a store. He was so busy that he was dizzy. After finally getting through the peak period, he remembered Lu Yuan and Fang Wen, but found that they were no longer at their seats.
Bai Xue saw her looking for someone and immediately told Gu Qingshi, "Sister, Brother Fang saw that we were too busy to help in the kitchen, and Brother Lu Yuan is waiting for you outside. Sister, Brother Lu Yuan is really weird. I finally know that he is not targeting me."
Business was good and there were many people. Although Lu Yuan was sitting in the corner, he was still the most eye-catching person once one entered the store, and it was inevitable that some people would approach him enthusiastically to chat with him.
It was okay when the uncle and aunt talked to him, and Lu Yuan responded politely, but if a little girl came up to him, Lu Yuan's face would turn cold.
Some of the girls were too shy to go up by themselves, so the brothers and friends who came with them wanted to help get to know them, but Lu Yuan didn't even mention their names.
Bai Xue was busy outside and saw everything clearly. Some people even asked for Lu Yuan's information, and she deeply felt how popular Lu Yuan was.
"Sister, there were too many customers and there were no seats left. Two girls asked if they could share a table, but he refused. Then he looked at you and agreed. However, before the two girls sat down, he stood up and said they were done eating."
Bai Xue also knew about Gu Qingshi and Qin Zeming. She hated Qin Zeming so much that she wanted to find someone who was a hundred times more powerful than Qin Zeming so that Qin Zeming would know that she was blind.
It was very difficult to find someone stronger than Qin Zeming in Mingchang County. Finally one appeared, and Bai Xue couldn't help but ask.
"Sister, I think that although Brother Lu Yuan is a little weird, he is more reassuring this way. He seems to be a little special to you, too. You treat him well."
"We are friends." Gu Qingshi could hear what Bai Xue meant and patted her shoulder. "Don't think too much. There is no possibility for him and I."
"Why not? Sister, you're not bad either." Bai Xue was anxious.
"That's not what I meant. You don't understand." Gu Qingshi couldn't possibly reveal Lu Yuan's secret. "Don't think too much. I'll go find him."
Lu Yuan was standing outside the store with his coat draped over his arm. Gu Qingshi could tell at a glance that someone might have touched him.
He stood there quietly and became the most beautiful scenery in Gu's Kitchen, attracting the attention of many passers-by. Just as Gu Qingshi was about to go over, he saw a girl in a floral dress coming over first. She screamed "Ouch" and fell towards Lu Yuan as if she had sprained her ankle.
Lu Yuan dodged swiftly and skillfully, and the girl in the floral skirt lost her balance and fell to the ground with a bang, instantly attracting the attention of everyone around them.
The girl in the floral dress felt embarrassed and hurt, and couldn't help but ask Lu Yuan, "Why didn't you help me?"
Lu Yuan stood three meters away and spread his hands, "Sorry, it's too far away, I can't help you."
The girl in the floral skirt choked, "You were clearly right next to me just now!" After she said that, she knew that Lu Yuan was avoiding her. She looked at him hatefully, covered her face and ran away crying. Lu Yuan calmly took out a handkerchief and wiped his slender fingers one by one.
Gu Qingshi stroked his forehead and said, "Lu Yuan, do you want to wash your hands?"
She knew that Lu Yuan had a mysophobia attack, and she also knew that Lu Yuan was very sincere in coming even though he knew there would be a lot of people there for the opening ceremony.
When Lu Yuan turned around and saw Gu Qing, he paused in wiping his hands and put the handkerchief away. "No, your store is very clean. I just wiped it out of habit."
"Thank you for coming today." Gu Qingshi thought about how he was helping in the kitchen and was smelling of oil smoke. He had just seen what happened to the girl in the floral dress, so he stood at the door and didn't get closer.
Instead, Lu Yuan walked over when he saw that she didn't come over. Gu Qingshi saw that he was too close and couldn't help but take a step back.
"Be careful." Lu Yuan reached out and grabbed her arm, and only let go after he saw that she had stood firm.
Gu Qingshi looked at Lu Yuan, who was only one step away from her, then looked at his hands, and couldn't help but said, "I smell like oil smoke."
Lu Yuan nodded and said, "It smells good, and the price is cheap. Judging from the opening today and the customer satisfaction, the business will be good in the future. If you don't do it, hire someone. Don't get tired."
What Lu Yuan said was not aimless, but the conclusion he drew from observation. He had observed inside the store and also listened to and watched everyone's comments while standing outside the store. Most of them were satisfied and said that the food was delicious and they would come again next time.
"Oh, okay." Gu Qingshi was stunned for a moment and nodded.
The business was as good as Lu Yuan had said, and there was a steady stream of customers at dinner time.
When it got dark and the last guest left, Gu Qingshi went to the kitchen and saw Bai Yang and his uncle who were too tired to lift their hands.
Bai Xue was also exhausted and her throat was a little hoarse. So was Gu Qingshi. However, business was good and it was all worth it, especially when she saw the money they made.
The dishes that Gu Qingshi prepared in large quantities were basically eaten, and Bai Yang used the remaining dishes to cook a meal for his own family.
They were all very hungry. As soon as they sat at the table, they lowered their heads and ate voraciously without even bothering to talk. Gu Qingshi finished two bowls of rice in a flash.
Only then did he feel less hungry. Just as he was about to eat the third bowl, he suddenly noticed something unusual. He turned around and saw Qin Zeming at the door.
Not knowing when he stood there, Gu Qingshi put down the bowl and frowned and asked, "When did you come?"
"Just arrived."
In fact, Qin Zeming came just as they were having dinner, but they were so busy eating that they didn't notice him.
He wanted to say hello, but when he saw Gu Qingshi wolfing down his food and looking exhausted and hungry, he didn't say anything because of mixed feelings.
"Are you here to eat? You're too late. There's no food left."
Qin Zeming shook his head, "No." He originally wanted to get a free meal, but since that was gone, he could only get down to business first, "Why didn't you tell me about your decision not to come to work at the county hospital?"
"Tell you? Why tell you?" Gu Qingshi asked back. They had nothing to do with each other anymore.
Qin Zeming choked, "I told my grandparents before, they were very happy for you and said they would come to see you when the time comes, but you pushed the work off without a word."
He was waiting for Gu Qingshi to report, but ended up getting such news. For this, Qin Zeming was scolded by Grandpa Qin, who said that he didn't care about Gu Qingshi.
When Qin Zeming heard about what Duan Gang and Bai Zhen were doing, he guessed that it was Duan Gang and the others who forced them to do it. After some investigation, he found out that it was indeed the case.
Qin Zeming went to the stall but couldn't find it, and he went to Duan's house to look for Gu Qingshi but still couldn't find him. He went to the stall twice before he found out that Gu Qingshi had opened a shop.
Instead of working in the hospital, he opened a shop and made himself so hard-working.
Qin Zeming shook his head. "If you still want to go back, you can go find grandpa. Grandpa will speak for you."
"No, I just opened a shop. My business is pretty good. I don't have to go to work. They go to the hospital every day to make trouble."
Grandpa Qin definitely has the power, but this favor is too great.
