"Yes, yes, yes... I'll go right away."
The waiter hurriedly nodded and bowed before running out.
Manager Li, on the other hand, couldn't help but pace back and forth at the entrance of the restaurant, filled with anxiety and nervousness.
Her neck, like a giraffe's, kept looking in his direction.
I'm becoming increasingly insecure.
In no time, the waiter came running back, covered in sweat.
Manager Li immediately rushed over, eager to greet them, "How is it? How is it? Is that 'that weird dry pot' restaurant really doing so well?"
As he spoke, he touched his chin in disbelief, "Could it be some kind of attention-grabbing nonsense?"
Upon hearing this, the waiter, recalling the endless stream of diners he had just seen at the Zhiyin restaurant, the satisfaction on their faces, and the enticing aroma that lingered for miles, couldn't help but scratch his head awkwardly, unsure of what to say.
But looking into his manager Li's sharp eyes, he still forced himself to say, "Um... well... manager... their business is indeed doing quite well."
Seeing that Manager Li's expression changed after he finished speaking, he quickly added, "But it's probably just something the customers are looking for, and they probably won't go there again in the future."
"After all, I heard that their dishes cost at least 500 coins! People probably go there out of curiosity."
Upon hearing this, Manager Li couldn't help but widen his eyes and exclaim in a low voice, "500 coins? How can this be even more outrageous than mine?"
After saying that, he couldn't help but nod in agreement, "That's right, selling it at such a high price, it's probably hard to have repeat customers."
The waiter awkwardly wiped the sweat from his brow, nodding repeatedly in agreement, "Yes, yes, and the manager is just a young girl, probably just playing around..."
"That little brat actually tried to open a shop like us! She's got a death wish! Tsk tsk tsk... Just you wait, she'll probably be crying when nobody's around."
Manager Li shook his head dismissively, his expression relaxing.
I think Zhiyin is probably some rich girl who has nothing better to do than open a shop instead of staying home to be a wife and mother.
They felt that she was just a small woman, not elegant enough to pose a threat, and probably not their competitor!
Zhiyin had no idea that on the very first day of its business opening, its shop had already attracted attention because it had stolen business from others.
The shop was so busy that she had no time to pay attention to anything else.
She was so busy that she barely had time to breathe until lunchtime slowly passed and the guests gradually left their seats. Only then did she have time to check on Mu Lin and Xing Luxi.
"Aunt Mu, Aunt Xing, how is it? Does it suit your taste? Is it enough? If not, I'll cook some more for you."
As soon as Zhiyin entered the private room, she saw that Zhihua, Xing Luxi, and their mothers were all elegantly reclining on the chairs, looking satisfied and content. She immediately smiled and spoke.
"Delicious! Delicious! Delicious!!!"
"No wonder my little rascal keeps talking about Yinyin's cooking, it's absolutely amazing!!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Lin's mother was the first to enthusiastically praise her friend, even patting her round belly and teasing, "Looks like I'm going to gain a few more pounds, hahaha~"
Xing Luxi's mother couldn't help but look at Zhiyin with a face full of praise and said with a smile, "That's right, I usually only eat half a bowl of rice, but today I ate more than a whole bowl!"
Without exception, everyone's eyes were filled with joy.
Zhiyin glanced over the crowd, unable to suppress a chuckle to himself. Indeed, no one in this world could resist the deliciousness of dry pot. It was true that everyone had the genes of a foodie deep down, they just hadn't awakened them in the past.
"Yinyin, you must be tired too? Haven't you eaten anything yet? Sit down and rest for a bit, and have something to eat to fill your stomach."
Yao Yulin looked at Zhiyin with concern and quickly invited her to sit down and have something to eat.
"It's okay, Mom, I'm not tired. It's just peak mealtime, it'll be over soon. I'll eat with Uncle Dachuan and the others later."
After saying that, he chatted with Xing Luxi and the others for a while, and learned that they had to return to the academy, so he said goodbye to them one by one.
"Sister Yinyin, Sister Huahua, can Lele come and play with you when she's bored?"
A childish voice came from behind. Zhiyin turned around and was instantly delighted when she saw that it was Xing Luxi's younger sister. "Of course you can, anytime. It's just that your older sister isn't here every day."
With her confidante's permission, Lele happily skipped away, hand in hand with Xing Luxi.
Seeing that there were only two or three tables occupied in the main hall and that it wasn't busy, Zhiyin went into the kitchen.
Upon entering the kitchen, I was taken aback by the mountain of bowls. "So many?"
"Boss, it's alright, I'll be done washing soon."
Dog Egg's hands moved so fast while washing the dishes that they were like a blur, and he smiled as he responded to his friend.
"Let us help, it'll be faster that way."
Upon seeing this, Yao Yulin and Zhihua quickly washed their hands and began washing the dishes and pots.
Zhiyin then told Chen Qi and Wang Fang to sit down and rest while she went to cook a large portion of dry pot rabbit and beef.
After everyone cleaned up the kitchen and the food was ready, the remaining two or three tables of people had already finished eating and left.
Everyone finally relaxed and slumped into their chairs.
Seeing Chen Qi and Wang Fang's hands trembling uncontrollably, and even Xiao Jiu and Gou Dan looking exhausted, Zhiyin quickly comforted them, "You've worked hard."
"The first day might be a bit busy, but it should be fine afterwards."
"It's okay. It's probably the first day of business, so they're not used to it yet. They'll get used to it."
Hearing the concern from a kindred spirit, everyone felt a warmth in their hearts.
