Please help tie the apron and the person behind step back to their original position.
Song Jianchu continued to lower his head and wipe the glasses, but in the corner of his eye, he saw his female fan staring intently at him with both hands holding her face, afraid of missing any details.
This time, Song Jianchu’s mood was very calm.
He thought to himself, even the most eccentric fan was brought in by himself. If the fan came to the store to consume, there was nothing wrong with giving them some fan benefits.
Song Jianchu said, “The coffee at this table is free.”
Mu Ye continued to wash the glasses, holding back his laughter as he said, “Okay.”
The mashed potatoes and rice prepared by the kitchen were quickly completed. Pei Shinian took the three exquisitely presented rice dishes and handed them out through the small window, ringing the bell to signal the serving of food.
Mu Ye went to serve the customers.
Bai Xingyu observed the expressions of the customers from the small window.
“Did Bai the Movie Star make this?” The male fan was a fan of action movie stars.
Mu Ye smiled and said, “Yes, please enjoy.”
The customers excitedly took photos of the mashed potatoes and rice personally made by the movie star, and ceremoniously picked up their spoons to start eating.
The customer’s impressed remarks were heard in the kitchen.
[“It’s so delicious! It’s much better than the mashed potato rice sold near my home!”]
[“It’s fragrant and light, and I can keep eating it!”]
[“It’s so cheap, and the portion is so big.”]
[“Wow, I can pack a portion to go.”]
The three members of the kitchen team breathed a sigh of relief.
Song Jianchu praised approvingly, “Very good, keep up the good work.”
Pei Shinian was elated by the praise from the store manager: “I thought it would be difficult, but running a restaurant seems quite easy.”
Song Jianchu pursed his lips and smiled lightly, “We’ve only just started.”
As he was about to go back to cleaning glasses, Song Jianchu sensed someone staring at him intently.
He turned his head and caught the eye of his colleague from the sales team.
Song Jianchu hesitated, sensing something off.
He didn’t really want to indulge this person’s expectations.
But he couldn’t resist the look in their eyes.
Sighing to himself, Song Jianchu said, “You’re doing a good job too.”
It was like that was all they were waiting for.
The man narrowed his eyes slightly and gave him a suggestive smile, “It’s all thanks to the store manager’s good training.”
Song Jianchu: “…”
He knew it.
One of his female fans who was enjoying her food suddenly perked up and lifted her spoon.
[“Pfft–“]
[“Those are the lines I can hear???”]
[“What kind of sparks are you trying to create with this little kid???”]
[“Hahaha, you’re the king of the music industry, act a little more professional.”]
[“This teasing of the younger generation, Mu Ye is too adorable.”]
[“My goodness!! The idol is joking around with you, I’m so excited!!”]
Song Jianchu remained calm.
Fortunately, ever since signing the sponsorship agreement, he had grown accustomed to the male idol gradually losing his boundaries in front of him…yeah, right.
Song Jianchu turned away calmly from the enthusiastic faces and went to the water dispenser to get a glass of ice water, which he drank in one go.
The second and third groups of customers came in almost simultaneously.
The kitchen staff had only just stopped for less than two minutes when they suddenly heard noisy voices outside.
Pei Shinian peered out.
Ten customers had come all at once, including a family of three with a child and a professional mountaineering club.
Pei Shinian was surprised. “How did so many people suddenly come? Are these customers hired by the production team?”
“This place is quite hidden and hard to find. How did these people find it?” Bai Xingyu wondered. “Did they all search for it on their phones? Or was this restaurant already so famous?”
The variety show “mentally ill” suddenly said deeply, “No.”
Someone suddenly spoke up beside them, making Bai Xingyu jump in fright.
“Are you sick?” Bai Xingyu gritted his teeth in exasperation. “Can you stop being so easily startled?”
The variety show “mentally ill” said, “Seven years ago, after the mountain road was diverted, this place is no longer the main road down the mountain. Except for some young people who are not afraid of the trouble of following their phones to find their way, grandma’s shop is only discovered by lucky tourists who get lost. The normal daily customer flow does not exceed ten people.”
[“That’s right, I live nearby! I didn’t even know there was a restaurant on this mountain!”]
[“Local people only found out about it from watching the program.”]
Pei Shinian doubted, “Did the news about the program crew coming here leak out?”
[“Ah, damn it! When did it leak out? Why didn’t I know?”]
[“It was your shopkeeper. Yesterday night, he asked the program team to place direction signs for the restaurant at the downhill road junction nearby.”]
Pei Shinian: “……”
[“!!!”]
[“Wow…”]
[“The younger brother of the devil is really thoughtful. He thought of everything.”]
Pei Shinian was stunned and looked at the shopkeeper who was helping to receive customers outside. He looked at him with admiration, “This kid is really amazing. When I was 18, I could get lost even on a faraway trip by myself.”
“So he is the shopkeeper,” someone said.
“Stop talking.” Mu Ye ordered through the small window, “Ten portions of mixed rice.”
The prepared potatoes were quickly used up, and Bai Xingyu said, “Xiao Pei, wash twenty potatoes.”
Pei Shinian rolled up his sleeves with enthusiasm, “Okay.”
The next half hour –
Song Jianchu came over to place his order, “Two portions of mixed rice.”
Mu Ye came to place an order: “Four portions of mixed rice.”
Song Jianchu: “Five portions.”
Mu Ye: “Seven portions, one for the little kid, no spicy please.”
After an hour of official business –
The first floor was already full, and the outdoor bar on the second floor became the most popular dining spot. There were even many customers waiting in line for a spot at the bar.
The production crew did not promote in advance, and most of these tourists came here by following the signs and were surprised to discover a hidden treasure restaurant in the mountains.
Walking into the restaurant was even more surprising, as “Want to Get Off Work” was actually recording a program here!
Not only was the environment of the restaurant pleasing to the eye, but the mashed potato mixed rice was so delicious it could make a god drool, and the key point was that all the waiters were handsome men! You could even see the legendary demon king!
[“The first day of business is too hot, haha, even the new workers are too busy to keep up.”]
[“Haha, even the store manager has become a worker.”]
[“Envy, are these people reincarnated golden carp? I also want to go and play.”]
[“Ah, that girl just got the signature of a monster! So jealous!”]
Pei Shinian put the twenty mashed potatoes he had just finished peeling into the steamer and was about to take a breather.
Bai Xingyu: “Pei, wash thirty more potatoes.”
“Huh?” Pei Shinian was stunned. “Didn’t we just finish steaming two pots? You used them all up again? Can’t you be more economical?”
“The recipe requires how much I use how much,” Bai Xingyu said. “There are a lot of customers, there’s no other way.”
“Save me.” Pei Shinian put on a painful expression. “Is this potato hell?”
“Five portions of mixed rice,” Song Jianchu came to place another order, and said through the small window, “Prepare the ingredients needed for the next day in advance at night, so that we can prepare more together.”
Pei Shinian resigned himself and went back to the sink, skillfully picking up a small brush and a potato, his eyes lifeless. “After this recording, I never want to see another potato again.”
[“Hahahaha”]
[“Brave Pei, not afraid of difficulties!”]
[“Pei: Want to Get Off Work.”]
[“Hahaha, stays on topic.”]
Song Jianchu took a photo with a female fan who was about to leave the mountain.
Female fan reluctantly said with concern, “Baby, don’t tire yourself out while recording the show. Take care and rest well.”
Song Jianchu replied, “Stop fussing.”
The female fan seemed not to have heard him and looked over at Mu Ye, who was helping a customer with a child. She reached out and gave him some motherly advice, “I think things are going well! Make sure to seize the opportunity. Your idol seems to like you, he even jokes around with you. You could be like a younger brother on the next show! “
Song Jianchu personally saw off the first group of customers.
“Goodbye, baby!” The female fan took three steps back and waved tearfully, “The show will be great! Remember to update your vlog, don’t leave your fans hanging! Remember your mother’s words!!”
Song Jianchu said, “Okay, let’s go.”
[“Thanks, sisters!! You’re teaching my son for me!”]
[“Sisters are great people!!”]
[“Did you hear that? Things are going well! Keep up the progress!”]
At two o’clock in the afternoon, the last customer was sent off and the lunchtime business finally ended.
Mu Ye hung the “Closed for Lunch” sign outside the shop, and all the staff were exhausted and finally able to take a nap.
Bai Xingyu didn’t want to go back into the kitchen for the time being. Song Jianchu used the leftover chicken soup to cook a few bowls of chicken noodle soup, which was delicious and warm. They all sat together and finished it, and their health bar was restored by a good amount.
“We’ll open at six in the evening, and preparations will start at four,” Song Jianchu instructed. “There are two dorm rooms on the first floor, and you can choose a room to rest in according to yesterday’s grouping.”
“You all worked hard.”
“The store manager worked hard too.”
Knowing that the guests were probably tired from their first “job”, the program team thoughtfully turned off the cameras in the dorms during nap time.
The renovation conditions were limited, and the dorm rooms couldn’t fit too many beds, but the bunk beds in the dorms were very high-end and much more spacious and comfortable than a motorhome. It wasn’t a problem for two people to share one bed.
There was also a regular single bed in the three-person room.
Pei Shinian had been tortured by potatoes to the limit, so he climbed up to the top bunk and fell asleep as soon as his face touched the pillow.
Song Jianchu had also been exhausted from two days without enough sleep and couldn’t keep his eyes open. He didn’t sleep in the widest single bed, but rather lay down on the bottom bunk while still fully clothed.
Just as he drifted off, he heard the door to the dorm room being gently pushed open.
Someone came in and sat down beside his bed, their arm propped up against his side and causing the mattress to sink down. The person sat there for a long time, reached out and lightly rubbed his hair, and said in a low, deep voice, “Let’s go on a date before we sleep.”
Song Jianchu was half-asleep and didn’t quite catch what was said. He put his arm over his eyes and murmured, “Mm.”
“Can I hug you?”
“Um…” With his drowsy permission, the person sitting beside the bed gently lifted his neck with their hand.
In his sleep, a warm and fragrant breath gradually drew near.
A hot palm gently pushed his back, leading him into a realm full of security.
As the person above buried their head, their soft hair brushed against his neck.
Like petting a cat.
…
Petting a cat?
“?”
Suddenly, Song Jianchu woke up.
After spending a while trying to understand the current situation, his body, which was being steadily held by the man, gradually stiffened, and his shrinking pupils began to tremble.
Like a cat being held up and petted in its sleep, the male student stared blankly at the bed above.
After several seconds, the male student’s hand, which had fallen like a lifeless puppet on the bed, stiffly moved upward.
Song Jianchu’s face turned bright red as he opened his mouth.
“You…”
“Hush.”
The man buried his head on his shoulder and whispered softly, “Don’t wake him up.”
The hand behind him gently patted and coaxed him.
“I’ll hold you a little longer.”
