Chapter 55 - Chapter 55 - 55 Rejecting Investment (2/2)

“That’s right, there are indeed some shameless tycoons these days, acting all high and mighty, thinking they don’t have to queue up for a meal. That’s dismissing the rules of our establishment.”

Having said that, Tang Xiaowei still looked at Tong Ya with a teasing expression.

“Right, Xiaoya?”

Tong Ya bit her lip, almost ready to swallow Tang Xiaowei whole.

“Yes, we can’t let that kind of unscrupulous tycoon in.”

Chen Yu helplessly glanced at everyone. “Alright, he’s gone. Let’s not talk behind his back.”

Tong Ya might have felt a bit guilty and quickly ran into the kitchen.

“Um, what do you think about the wealthy guy who came by just now?” Tong Ya timidly asked.

Chen Yu thought for a moment. “Although he was a bit overbearing at first, he did line up later on, which shows he’s not a bad person.”

Tong Ya inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

“Speaking of which, why didn’t you accept his investment just now? A hundred million, you know. That could’ve saved you from struggling for many decades.”

Chen Yu smiled. “If I accepted his hundred million just to struggle less for a few decades, what value would my life have left?”

His words rang with conviction, stirring something in Tong Ya’s heart.

Perhaps this was one of the reasons she liked Chen Yu, that resilience and masculinity that came from deep within him.

“I believe even without someone else’s investment, you will definitely succeed!”

Tong Ya waved her little fists and made a very cute cheering gesture.

Chen Yu didn’t say anything more and continued working on the pig’s head and knuckle.

Today’s volume of marinated meat was double that of yesterday’s, and he had to ensure an efficiency of one batch every forty minutes.

By six in the afternoon, the crowd hadn’t lessened but had actually grown.

Moreover, the new arrivals all had one thing in common—they were holding a comic book in their hands.

Upon entering, they ordered one of every item in the shop.

They posed for pictures before finally sitting down to eat.

Without looking, Chen Yu knew these people must have come after seeing Tang Xiaowei’s comics.

At this moment, Tang Xiaowei, dressed in a panda outfit, was hiding in a corner not far away, watching her fans take pictures.

It wasn’t until eight in the evening that the flow of customers began to wane, but by then, the marinated meats were almost sold out, leaving no choice but to put up a “sold out” sign.

Chen Yu hadn’t expected that, even after doubling the volume of marinated meats, they would sell out at this time.

It seemed not only that there were more people, but the proportion of customers eating the marinated meats had also increased.

By now, the second floor had been tidied up, and Li Yu and Su Qing, looking somewhat exhausted, came down, each holding a list in their hand.

All the raw materials for the fried cakes and vegetable pastries had been made into semi-finished products and stored in the freezer.

And the sales of fried cakes and vegetable pastries had dropped sharply today, only slightly higher than what they used to sell from the food cart.

Chen Yu stretched and called everyone over to eat.

Today, after some consideration, Chen Yu set a rule for the staff meal.

Pancakes and noodles would be served unlimited, eat as much as you desire.

In fact, his main concern was that after so much work each day, the girls might not be able to keep up.

Before dinner, as usual, Chen Yu called to order two thousand pounds of pork.

However, he was already considering buying a few more pressure cookers to try out marinated meats with different flavors.

After all, no matter how tasty this single five-spice blend was, customers would get tired of it if they ate it for too long.
