I survive by acting like a spoiled child [food]

The atmosphere in the back kitchen has been extremely gloomy in recent days.

Even Li Dafu, who has always been lively in the past, has been moaning and sighing lately, and he can't even get excited about cooking.

The rest of the apprentices still laughed at Li Dafu's strangeness: "Didn't you say that you were ambitious when you first came here and said that you would work hard to be the store manager? Why don't you have any energy today?"

"You don't understand, this restaurant is out of business, I'm in a hurry."

"It's not your shop, why worry about it with dead wages..." Several new apprentices didn't understand Ruan Tang's personality, so they didn't think that the business in the shop had anything to do with them: "Do your own job well. Work, you can’t stop paying wages because the business is not good, can you?”

"If the business is good every quarter, the boss will give each apprentice a bonus. Anyway, you guys don't understand..." Li Dafu shook his head, he lowered his head and continued to cook, while Ruan Tang was very depressed .

With Zhao Xiaomo not around, Ruan Tang had to cook many dishes by himself.

But other than that, in the first three days of opening, there were very few customers.

"After a period of time when it first opened, it will be fine in the future."

Ruan Tang comforted Li Dafu very calmly.

But Li Dafu has experienced the brilliance of the Ruantang store, and now he feels that there is something wrong with the deserted business, "When we first opened, there were too many people, why come to a big city... Is it a good restaurant in a big city? If there are too many, our store will not be very colorful?"

"It was just opened at that time, and there was TV station promotion in our store, and we invited a lot of guests that day, and Mr. Jun was there, so do you think the business is going to be bad?" Ruan Tang patted Li Dafu on the shoulder.

Li Dafu was finally able to calm himself down.

He tried to hold his breath and went on with his business.

But on the day of the Lantern Festival, the turning point finally came, and the set meal for three tables in a row turned out to be the biggest business they had received in the past few days.Li Dafu even added an extra dish for the three tables of guests—Ruan Tang acquiesced to Li Dafu's behavior.

So the middle-aged man quickly enjoyed Ruan Tian's highest treatment, not only a discounted set meal, but even an extra bottle of wine and a dish.

There are more than 20 people, and the appetite is very large, but the amount of the set meal is relatively large. Under normal circumstances, there will always be a few dishes left.

But today the three tables of dishes were clean, and even the dish that was added later entered the stomachs of the people present.

The middle-aged man even asked for a few more bottles of wine. Afterwards, he drank the refreshing green plums, and the man even nodded.

"There's something in this store." The man patted his wife's hand and said in a low voice while feeling the swelling of his abdomen.

"We can also come here to eat in the future..." The man's daughter-in-law obviously ate too much. She held her belly, her movements seemed a little stiff, but she still managed to stand up and led the relatives back with a smile.

Before leaving, the man asked the front desk for the restaurant's order number.

Then, carrying the extra wine, he left the restaurant contentedly.

Li Dafu quietly looked at the expressions of the group of people from the back kitchen, and then happily came back to report to Ruan Tang: "Looking at how happy they are eating, our cooking level should not have declined, it's not a cooking problem."

"Brother Li, don't talk about it, we all want to eat it when we smell it, can the taste be reduced?"

The new apprentices in the restaurant were going crazy.

It's a pity that I can't eat while cooking, so I can only stick to it until the end, mix all the leftovers of each dish together, and eat my lunch with big mouthfuls.

The Lantern Festival is a lively day, and Ruan Tang received three more orders later.

The number of people sitting in Ruan Tianzhong finally increased, but compared to the past when he was in Yan City, the flow of people can be regarded as sparse.

Li Dafu cheered up to cook, and the apprentices present also followed him. In order to ensure the satisfaction of all the guests, they even provided unlimited wine-you know, the big boss in Yan City wanted to buy a bottle of green plums. There are limited queues and reservations in advance.

Li Dafu also doesn't want his glorious life in Yan City now, he just wants to get the restaurant's business up as soon as possible.

It's just that the few waves of people who came to the restaurant today are not any famous people in S City. Even if they can help Ruan Tian to make a name for himself, because of the price, they cannot be Ruan Tian's regular customers after all.

Ruan Tang himself was a little worried.

Unfortunately, worrying didn't solve the problem, so he turned his attention to new dishes.

Is it because Yan City and S City have different tastes...

Although both cities belong to the northern cities, the tastes of the northern cities are very different.Maybe the taste of the food is not attractive enough... Ruan Tang recalled the few dishes he had learned and cooked, and decided that it was the right way to make some dishes with unusual flavors to attract the guests.

He was just halfway through doing it when the curtain over there was pulled up a little.

Ruan Tang thought it was the waiter who was ordering food again, then turned around and saw Lu Yunxiao's eyes full of smiles.

"So busy?" Lu Yunxiao didn't come in, but just stood outside the back kitchen: "Excuse me, a C set meal, and a bowl of noodles at the end."

"Why did you come here?"

"When we were discussing business, we just needed to eat, so we brought our assistants and partners along. Remember to have a glass of wine."

"Don't drink too much."

"There's not much wine..." Lu Yunxiao said helplessly, "I'll pick you up in the afternoon."

After Lu Yunxiao finished speaking, he left.

He didn't intend to tell the partner about his relationship with Ruan Tang - after all, the partner cooperated in the name of the Lu family, if the other party learned about the relationship between Ruan Tang and himself from him, it might hinder the Lu family face often come.

If the initial liking was mixed with hypocrisy, when he had conflicts with the Lu family, the business in Ruan Tang's store would definitely be greatly affected.

It's better not to know.

Lu Yunxiao quickly suppressed the smile in his eyes, walked into the private room and chatted with the boss about the cooperation.

The other party also quickly mentioned Lu Yunxiao's fiancée.

"Miss Li Ying and my daughter are also friends, and I have long wanted to cooperate with Mr. Lu..."

"Oh? Are they friends?"

Lu Yunxiao vaguely remembered that the Li family was the one that disliked illegitimate children the most - people in those companies acted on the wind, and would never go past the Li family to deal with an illegitimate daughter at a banquet.

How did they get on the line?

"Miss Li Ying and my daughter met at a party. I originally wanted to get to know you, Mr. Lu, at the Lu family party. Unfortunately, you were busy with work at the time, and the regret of that time can finally be made up this time. Shall we have a drink first?"

The boss raised his glass.

Lu Yunxiao raised his wine glass and nodded in a face-saving manner.

But his thoughts were no longer there.
