Chapter 80 – 80: Grow Taller and Handsome

All through the night, Chen Yu could almost distinctly hear the crisp crackling sounds coming from his bones.

Even Tong Ya was woken up several times by this noise in the middle of the night.

At three o’clock the following dawn, Chen Yu got up early to wash and rinse himself.

However, he suddenly felt that his old clothes seemed a bit tight.

Before this, Chen Yu had been one meter seventy-eight tall, but overnight he seemed to have grown by four centimeters.

And his weight didn’t appear to have changed much.

The face in the mirror, although still his, looked much more handsome and trim than before.

He could even compete with today’s top young heartthrobs.

Chen Yu’s breath even halted for a moment.

The one million points spent were indeed worth it!

Most importantly, he didn’t feel sleepy at all, not even a bit tired.

From last night until now, he had only slept for less than five hours, something inconceivable before.

After finding some looser clothing, Chen Yu went downstairs to the kitchen in high spirits.

After starting the dough mixer, he cleaned up the pig’s head and elbows as usual.

But this time, he felt that he was faster than before.

By the time Wang Qingshan and the fourteen girls came in for work, the first batch of marinated delicacies had already come out of the pot.

“Boss Chen, you rise earlier than us workers every day, and today you even got the first round of marinated food done. This makes us workers quite embarrassed,” one of them said.

Chen Yu waved his hand, “I just couldn’t sleep, so I came down early to do some work!”

“By the way, Master Wang, don’t always call me boss. You can call me Little Chen, or Old Chen, or even by my name directly if you want to. It’s much friendlier that way.”

Wang Qingshan scratched his head somewhat sheepishly.

In the culinary world, the hierarchy between chefs and apprentices is quite clear.

No matter the age, if you’re an apprentice, you must address the other as ‘master’.

It was rare for someone like Chen Yu not to fuss over titles.

But on second thought, those formalities indeed seemed a bit impersonal.

“Then I’ll just call you by your name from now on!”

Chen Yu patted Wang Qingshan on the shoulder, “That’s more like it. Since we’re all working together, we’re family! I don’t want my shop to be stiff and impersonal like others”, lacking warmth and friendliness.

Just then, Chu Hong seemed to notice something was off.

“Brother Yu, I feel like you’ve gotten taller and even more handsome. Am I seeing things?”

Chen Yu cleared his throat lightly, “Didn’t I celebrate my birthday yesterday? It’s normal to grow a bit taller over a year.”

The crowd looked at Chen Yu with a skeptical gaze.

Usually, by their age, the growth plates in bones have closed, making it unlikely to grow taller.

Even these young girls had basically stopped growing in height.

Yet Chen Yu had managed to grow taller.

“Alright! We’re on the clock now, everyone should focus on their duties.”

Chen Yu quickly changed the subject.

After all, having grown taller and become more handsome overnight was indeed a bit miraculous.

It wasn’t like he could divulge the secret of the system, could he?

All the raw materials for fried cakes and dumplings in the storeroom had been prepared into semi-finished products.

Therefore, only four girls remained in the upstairs kitchen, with the others acting as a mobile workforce.

They would go wherever they were needed the most.

By eight in the morning, the flow of customers had already peaked.

Yet suddenly, Wang Qingshan became nervous.
