Chapter 78: A Birthday Wish

“Brother, the boss already told me this morning that he doesn’t provide meals.” Mu Xiaoyun felt deeply helpless towards her brother.

“Besides, the job is easy and the pay is pretty good. How can I ask for more?”

After saying that, Mu Xiaoyun left her brother’s room and prepared to eat something, then have a rest before going back to work in the restaurant.

……….

Time flew by. Mu Xiaoyun was a girl who had a great sense of time. She got to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant at 10:50, just as Yuan Zhou happened to open the door.

“Come and get prepared.” Yuan Zhou greeted her before starting getting busy in the kitchen.

Although everything necessary was prepared by the system, some specific jobs, nevertheless, had to be completed by Yuan Zhou himself.

“Boss, what can I do?” after Mu Xiaoyun came in, she asked immediately when she found Yuan Zhou working yet showed no indication of letting her help.

“There will be a lot of customers at noon. By then, I will put all the prepared dishes here at this place. You just carry them to the customers.” Yuan Zhou said as he raised his head and pointed at the foldable counter through which he entered and went out of the kitchen.

Before the rule prohibiting eating while standing was put in place, this counter was the first option for customers who had no seats. Of course, it was deserted now.

“Alright boss. Please rest assured. I will work very hard.” Mu Xiaoyun held up her fists tightly and said with a firm tone.

“Great.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head, maintaining his solemn look all along.

“Boss, then what should I do for now?” seeing that Yuan Zhou once again ignored her again, Mu Xiaoyun asked.

“Just stand there and wait.” Yuan Zhou answered.

“Alright.” Mu Xiaoyun’s soft voice contained obedience and grievance. Just as instructed, she really stood there.

Yuan Zhou, nevertheless, continued to busy in the kitchen.

In the quiet restaurant, besides the breathing of the loli, Mu Xiaoyun, and the rotating “di da, di da” sound of the clock, the only other sound came from the kitchen caused by Yuan Zhou.

Noon soon arrived. Customers were starting to come for lunch.

This time, Mu Xiaoyun took the initiative to greet them, asking, “What would you like to eat today?”

With her soft and sweet voice, this little loli attracted much attention from the customers. However, the one she greeted this time was Wu Zhou, who, as a programmer, had his thoughts only filled with program codes or his girlfriend. Nevertheless, he was startled by the unexpected enthusiastic greeting.

Normally, Yuan Zhou would merely wait quietly until Wu Zhou returned to his senses, basically not giving a damn about him.

“Eh… Egg Fried Rice.” Therefore, Wu Zhou was stupefied for a moment before answering.

“Alright. One moment, please. Boss, one serving of Egg Fried Rice.” Mu Xiaoyun reported the name of the dish to Yuan Zhou in a natural and graceful manner. But the blush on her face, nevertheless, betrayed her.

Mu Xiaoyun did this according to the procedures that she saw and encountered usually when she went to other restaurants for meals. When she saw that Yuan Zhou did not say anything, Mu Xiaoyun lightly heaved a sigh of relief and revealed a big smile on her face.

“Ok.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head, indicating that he heard it.

“Welcome. What would you like to eat?” Nevertheless, Mu Xiaoyun wasn’t a professional and would panic slightly upon encountering the customers. Therefore, she would basically greet the customers using different words every time, looking rather devoted.

“Hey, Boss Yuan. When did you hire this little loli? She’s fairly pretty.” Ling Hong sized the girl for a while before returning to his seat and sat down.

“Today.” Yuan Zhou answered simply and clearly after setting down the Egg Fried Rice ordered by Wu Zhou.

“Boss Yuan seems to understand the truth about life now. As usual, I want every dish on the menu except the Egg Fried Rice.” Ling Hong ate much, and he happened to be wealthy. Therefore, Yuan Zhou had a rather high tolerance towards him.

“Do you also want the Herbal Tea Egg?” Yuan Zhou opened his mouth and asked.

“I haven’t asked about it yet but is this Herbal Tea Egg really one egg?” Ling Hong had already tasted every dish on the menu except the Herbal Tea Egg. A high-end wealthy man disdained to eat dishes on special offers.

“Yes, it’s merely one egg.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

Mu Xiaoyun and Wu Zhou stayed at the side watching the show.
