A small peasant girl's home is bare, but I have a spiritual space

"You still ask me how I know this? Your hall is almost packed with people. Old Cheng, you are taking advantage of me and showing off, right?" Shopkeeper Li said gritting his teeth.

"Ah? There is such a thing? I have to go down and take a look." Shopkeeper Cheng could not sit still any longer and ran downstairs in a hurry. Seeing this, Lin Yiran followed him downstairs. Third Brother Lin also wanted to go down and take a look, but he felt that it was not appropriate to leave Shopkeeper Li here alone.

"Uncle Li, you've been traveling so long. I see your lips are dry and chapped. Have a cup of tea to moisten them." Third Brother Lin poured him a cup of tea.

"Thank you, nephew," Shopkeeper Li said with a smile. I don't know what the relationship between this young man and Old Cheng is? To be able to sit alone with Old Cheng for dinner, he must be someone special.

Although Old Cheng always looks cheerful to everyone, very few people can actually eat at the same table with him.

It took him a long time to become an insider, which is sad to think about, but the benefits are also obvious.

Shopkeeper Li and Third Brother Lin were chatting and drinking tea, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

As soon as Lin Yiran and Manager Cheng came down the stairs, they were stunned by the scene in front of them. "What, what is going on? Who can tell them?"

"Please give us another portion of boiled beef,"

"Bring two more plates of dry-fried potato chips to our table."

Words like these kept ringing in the ears of Manager Cheng and Lin Yiran. The two stood at the stairs for a long time, unable to recover.

When Shopkeeper Cheng saw Xiaodunzi trotting past him with a tray, he quickly called out, "Dunzi, what's going on?"

The diners who were waiting eagerly in the hall saw that Xiao Dunzi was stopped by Shopkeeper Cheng for questioning, and they hurriedly said: "Shopkeeper Cheng, please ask the waiter to serve us the food! If you have anything to ask, wait until he is done. We are starving." "Yes, Old Cheng."

Shopkeeper Cheng watched Xiaodunzi run past him and said, "Shopkeeper, go ask Chef Li to set a price for the new dish."

Shopkeeper Cheng was dumbfounded. Even when his business was at its peak, it was not this popular! The prices of the dishes hadn't even been decided yet, and everyone was already ordering? Didn't anyone ask the price?

Wait, it seemed like he had been led astray by Xiaodunzi. He originally wanted to ask how customers knew about the new dish when it hasn’t been promoted yet?

Lin Yiran looked at the endless stream of customers trying to squeeze in at the door.

"Didn't you say there weren't many people? Why is it so crowded?" asked a gentle female voice.

The young man next to her was also confused and said puzzledly: "I don't know either. When I went out just now, there were only more than 20 people. How come it's so crowded in just a short while?"

"Why don't we go back? There are so many people here. When will it be our turn? I feel like I can't breathe because of the squeezing. I'll probably be crushed before I can even eat." The female voice continued.

“It’s so crowded on the first day of serving new dishes. After a few days, when everyone knows about it, there will be even more people.

We are already here, why don't you just hold on a little longer? You have no idea how delicious the dish was. The taste was so great that I guess I will never forget it for the rest of my life. I only ate two bites so that you could have a taste and then hurried home to find you.

Xin'er, I'll protect you. Let's go inside and it won't be so crowded.

You see, the people who were eating at the same table with me just now are still eating. I was amazed when I took the first bite. I thought you must like it, so I couldn’t wait to go back to find you. Xin’er, I’m good to you, right?” The young man smiled and pointed to the innermost table.

"I told you not to talk nonsense. So many people heard it. It's so embarrassing." The young woman named Xin'er said in a low voice with her head down, looking shy.

The young man also knew that his wife was shy and easily embarrassed, so he quickly apologized, "It's my fault, I won't say that again."

The woman glared at him and said, "Will such delicious food be very expensive? Do we have enough money?"

"It should be enough, right?" The young man was a little unsure. He was invited to dinner by a friend and he didn't ask the price.

Lin Yiran listened to the conversation between the two and glanced at Shopkeeper Cheng. Shopkeeper Cheng also looked at her at this time, obviously he had also heard the conversation between the two.

"Uncle Cheng, let's find a place to talk," Lin Yiran said solemnly.

"Okay, let's go to the private room on the second floor." said Manager Cheng.

Lin Yiran nodded and followed Shopkeeper Cheng into a private room on the second floor. "Uncle Cheng, there are more and more people downstairs. It's blocked and there's no way out. I'm afraid there will be a stampede. What do you think we should do about this situation?"

Shopkeeper Cheng also realized the seriousness of the problem. He had never encountered such a situation before, and his brows couldn't help but frown.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "If not, we can open all the private rooms on the second floor to the public to solve the problem."

"But even so, we can't completely solve the problem from the root. There are simply too many people in the hall, and more are rushing here after hearing the news." Lin Yiran's voice was full of melancholy.

Shopkeeper Cheng nodded solemnly, "Ran girl, you are right. Do you have a better way to deal with this emergency?"

"Uncle Cheng, do you think this is okay? I'll go into the kitchen and help you cook, so the food can be ready faster.

I asked my third brother to stand at the door and inform customers who wanted to enter the store later that all the dishes in the kitchen were sold out today. If they wanted to come and eat, they needed to register in advance and choose a time period that suits them.

Lunch can be divided into three time periods. For example, if only 50 people are served in each time period, 150 people can be served in three time periods. In this way, the pressure on both the chef and the waiter will be much less, and customers can also have a good dining environment. Of course, dinner can also be served in this way. "

"Great! Ran girl, you are really a genius. Uncle Cheng doesn't know how to thank you." Shopkeeper Cheng excitedly held Lin Yiran's hand.

"I give you this little thing as a gift from Uncle Cheng." Shopkeeper Cheng said as he took off a jade pendant from his waist and put it in Lin Yiran's hand.

Lin Yiran glanced at the jade pendant in her hand. It felt cool to the touch, and the landscape carved on it was intricately detailed and well-arranged. The texture was as delicate and smooth as baby skin, and it was obvious that it was priceless.

Lin Yiran was shocked. "Uncle Cheng, this is unacceptable. This jade pendant is obviously very valuable, and it is something you wear with you. I cannot accept it."

"This is a little gift from Uncle Cheng. When you need money in the future, you can take it to any Xiangmanlou branch in Daxuan Country to withdraw silver notes, as long as it does not exceed 5 taels of silver."

Lin Yiran was shocked when she heard this. She was still feeling smug about having jewelry worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, but she didn't expect that Manager Cheng would give her 5 taels of silver at once.

Lin Yiran couldn't help but sigh, how generous!

He quickly refused and said, "Uncle Cheng, this gift is too expensive, I really can't accept it. How about this, from now on, our family can eat for free at Xiang Man Lou?

You also know that I have no other hobbies except making money and eating. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have researched so many foods.”

Lin Yiran handed the jade pendant back. Manager Cheng saw that the girl really didn't want to accept it, so he couldn't force her.

My liking for Lin Yiran involuntarily deepened a little bit. This kid could face so much money and yet he could refuse it directly without changing his expression or beating his heart.

Such people have a more steadfast character than ordinary people. They love money but are not greedy for it. As the saying goes, a gentleman loves money but gets it in a proper way.

He looked at Lin Yiran with loving eyes, "Okay, whatever our Xiao Ran says is what it is. The door of Xiangmanlou will always be open to you. Uncle Cheng has another uninvited favor, I hope you can agree to it."

"Uncle Cheng, please tell me what it is. As long as I can do it and it does not violate my conscience and morality, I will agree to it."
