CHAPTER 234: CHAPTER 234: GU CHI: SMILE

Tuanzi not only didn’t call out but also knocked her forehead against Gu Yunmu’s forehead.

Gu Yunmu thought, my sister is shy, obviously shy but still wants to stick close to him, she really likes him, hahaha!

Tuanzi squinted at the young man who was laughing wildly.

[Miaomiao: I always feel like he’s thinking something bad]

[Ancient Martial System: Self-centered, oblivious to the atmosphere. If he hasn’t been punched, it must be because he’s too handsome and spends extravagantly]

Otherwise, someone like him would easily make people’s fists itch.

Tuanzi broke free and jumped onto the ground.

"Miaomiao is an employee, she has to work now, bye-bye."

She slipped away quickly, afraid of being picked up by the self-loving big cat and snuggled close.

There were many people in the kitchen, she could only continue to scrub the carpet. Passing by Gu Chi, she found Gu Chi writing something on the little blackboard.

She leaned in for a closer look.

"Signature dish? Where do we have a signature dish?"

Gu Chi: "Anything delicious can become a signature dish."

He fretted, "How should we set the price?"

Tuanzi also began to fret.

"How do we create the menu?"

[Ancient Martial System: Search nearby restaurants to check their traffic and pricing. As for the menu, just search for a template and modify it as needed]

[Miaomiao: Wow, Little Gu, you are so smart!]

Tuanzi praised him and quickly shared the answer with Gu Chi, earning praises from Gu Chi as well.

She proudly straightened her little back.

Gu Chi chose an average price and borrowed a computer from the staff to start making the menu.

He found there were various commercial flyers, billboard templates, and couldn’t resist making a few according to their needs.

"We’ll set up a big sign by the reef, and once our reputation grows, people will be willing to detour," Gu Chi said helplessly, "This is the only way to solve the route issue for now."

While the siblings were squatting down to make it, the kitchen was already bustling with activity.

Many dishes had already been washed and only needed to be cooked.

Yi Heng was somewhat nervous; his hands trembled while stir-frying clams.

Yi Kai stood beside him watching, glanced up at his expression, and whispered, "Brother, your cooking is great, all the customers will love it."

"Hmph, do I need you to tell me?" Yi Heng snorted coldly, but his hands trembled less.

He simultaneously controlled two pans, with each pan holding enough for two plates.

Once the spicy stir-fried clams were plated, he quickly prepared the grilled squid tentacles.

While preparing, he mumbled, "Need to discuss with the welfare house to send a few people over to help."

Four tables of guests were already making him frantic, more chefs and helpers were needed.

If the welfare house had people with good culinary skills, that would be great. If not, they’d have to find chefs.

Gu Ran personally served the plates, leaving the children in the kitchen to wash vegetables.

Ai Jie was busy in the area originally converted into kitchen space.

During this time, she prepared brown sugar sticky rice cakes and lettuce with shredded jellyfish.

Soon Gu Chi returned and joined the line of chefs, starting to fry some home-cooked dishes.

What he fried depended on what he could cook and what ingredients were available.

Officially, they couldn’t do this, but now with guests letting them improvise, they indeed did so freely.

In the ground-floor hall.

The guests tried the spicy stir-fried clams, paused their expressions, then tried the grilled squid tentacles, paused again.

[Oh, I’m so nervous, is it delicious or not?]

[Previously the guests said it was tasty, which can be seen as courtesy. But now it’s open for business, guests truly finding it delicious is the only hope for the restaurant!]

[I feel more nervous than the guests]

Guests exchanged glances, then one person suddenly whispered, "Why do I think it’s quite tasty? Is it just my illusion?"

Another shook their head: "It’s not your illusion. The taste is excellent, and the ingredients are very fresh, I think it’s worth it."

After the surprise, everyone started grabbing the dishes unrestrainedly.

During this, two female guests exchanged glances.

They glanced at the cameras, then turned away.

One almost whispered in a breathy voice: "I heard it was made by Yi Heng, didn’t expect he could cook."

"Having eaten his cooking, I feel embarrassed to continue trashing him."

These two were actually anti-fans of Yi Heng.

To be precise, they were fans of the celebrity Chen Wen. Some time ago, there were rumors of Chen Wen and Yi Heng dating, seemed real, but they never announced it officially. Meanwhile, a big fan said Chen Wen was in bad shape, seemed hurt, making it feel like Yi Heng was reluctant to announce it, turning many fans into anti-fans of Yi Heng.

Though both moved on to new projects, those rumors disappeared. Yet those fans who became antis privately still disliked Yi Heng.

This was just an episode.

Afterwards, various seafood, home-cooked stir-fries, and snacks were served, with seafood braised noodles being the most stunning.

They ate and drank for over an hour, and the four tables were almost stuffed.

Tuanzi came with the emergency printout bills for payment.

She flashed a sweet smile, in a cute voice announced that trial operation had a thirty percent discount, making it very affordable.

"You can come and eat tonight and also the day after tomorrow~"

"We have to return to work tomorrow night," quietly said an employee, sneaking a glance at Gu Yunmu.

Gu Yunmu waved his hand, "Then go back the night after tomorrow."

Just as the livestream ended, he could whisk his sister away.

The employees cheered.

Tuanzi opened her mouth wide, "Is it that easy-going?"

Gu Yunmu looked complacent, "I’m the boss, I decide."

After all, they’re a gaming company; even in emergencies, they could solve issues with a computer on the spot.

Tuanzi blinked, glanced at Gu Yunmu again, handed over the bill.

"Currently, we can’t swipe cards, only accept cash."

In truth, she secretly exclaimed in her heart, just now for a moment, Gu Yunmu really looked handsome!

Gu Yunmu paid promptly, then shooed the employees away, telling them to continue vacationing and subtly promote the restaurant as he stayed with a thick face.

"I can be the signboard to welcome guests."

He said confidently, "With this face, guests will come in to dine."

Tuanzi rolled her eyes; indeed, it was her illusion earlier. This narcissistic brother isn’t handsome at all!

Gu Chi came out to clean the plates, heard it, and smiled slightly.

"Sorry, we are a bit remote here, basically no pedestrians pass by, you can only entertain the air with smiles."

Gu Yunmu: "..."

Gu Chi softly "ah"-ed.

"But since you’re so sincere, we shouldn’t refuse."

He paused cleaning the plates, pulled out a homemade promotional sign.

"Please take this to the beach and use your charm to attract a few guests over."

Gu Yunmu: "..."

The young painter was surprised: "Don’t want to? Ah, I thought you were just joking earlier, I took it seriously. It’s normal if you don’t want to, I mistakenly took you as Miaomiao’s cousin, our kind. Actually, I should have treated you as a guest."

Gu Yunmu directly grabbed the promotional sign, gave him a cold look, and stood up.

"Go I will, but I’ll bring Miaomiao as promotion. Handsome me and cute Miaomiao are unbeatable!"

Gu Chi agreed without hesitation.

But as they were about to leave, some kids ran over.

"Miaomiao, we’ll go with you, we’re also part of the restaurant, we want to promote too!"

Tuanzi welcomed them warmly, "Sure, sure!"

Gu Yunmu turned back, exchanged a look with Gu Chi not far away, "Well played."

Gu Chi: ^_^
