Chapter 317 Don’t you have enough money to spend?
Su Yuchen looked at Zhao Xiaojing and smiled bitterly, "He is not an old customer nor a fan of mine. Where do I get fans from?"
"Not your fan? Then why did they let you play guitar?"
"Because they watched the show! They are all Qin Zhichu's fans. They are in the Qin Zhichu Jiangcheng fan club group. They said they watched the show yesterday and made an appointment right away. Today, several of them came all the way from Shengte District."
"Two hours drive?" Zhao Xiaojing was surprised. Shengte District is a bit remote, in the southernmost part of Jiangcheng. Zhao Xiaojing has never been there since she arrived in Jiangcheng because it is too far away. It takes two hours to drive there on the elevated road.
"No, they took the intercity train from Shengte District Railway Station to Jiangliu District Railway Station, and then transferred to the subway. It took 40 minutes. Isn't it amazing?"
"Awesome, I didn't even know you could take a train, this is amazing. But how can this show monetize so quickly?"
"When we were cleaning earlier, fans of Wu Lesheng and Dong Dongdong came over! But I told them that the shop was not open yet, so they left without saying anything. As for Qin Zhichu and her fans, they came too far away, and they made me want to cook for them." Su Yuchen shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Then we have to quickly put the phone online." Zhao Xiaojing said blankly. She finally understood why Xiaozhi doubled the number of food preparation plans he gave. So star chasing is so crazy?
"Yeah, let me look for it." Su Yuchen immediately picked up his phone and started checking.
"It's this one! These are the two!" Zhao Xiaojing was just about to enter the kitchen when two more people came in from outside the door. They looked at them, then at the sign with excitement on their faces.
"Boss, give me some pork trotter rice! And some fried pork with chili peppers!"
"I'm really sorry, we haven't opened yet. We're still cleaning today and will officially open tomorrow." Su Yuchen raised his head and gave a very skilled fake smile.
"Ah? It's already the twelfth day of the first lunar month and you're still not open? The statutory holiday has already passed for five days!"
"Yes, it's been five days! Do you know how much less money you've lost in five days? Don't you have money to spend?"
The two guests were heartbroken.
"We in the catering industry are busy all year round and only count on these few days of rest at the end of the year. Do you know that in order to have these five extra days off, we get up at five in the morning and work overtime until ten at night all year round?"
Su Yuchen was also heartbroken and acted in an exaggerated manner.
Zhao Xiaojing held back her laughter and silently moved several boxes of food from the ground to the kitchen.
“Look, in order to run a restaurant, this frail body has to carry dozens of kilograms of food ingredients every time, and they have to carry it several times at a time, and it takes a whole year. What is this for? Just to have five more days of rest!” Su Yuchen was like a drama queen, pointing at Zhao Xiaojing who was moving things and continuing to exert force.
Upon hearing this, the 'weak' Zhao Xiaojing was so scared that she immediately lowered her head and quickened her pace.
"Uh, boss, I'm sorry, but please keep your ambitions high and work hard!" The two guests were serious and motivated and slipped away.
Su Yuchen calmly lowered his head and continued to check his phone.
By the time Zhao Xiaojing and the other two took out the pig's feet and prepared to brand them, Su Yuchen had already completed his task and posted Zhao Xiaojing's phone number and business hours on every available platform.
"Okay, I'm hanging up your phone. Ask Xiao Wanzi to answer it when he's delivering the takeout. I'm afraid you'll hang up on me because I won't be in the store at night and won't know about some situations." Su Yuchen said as he put on an apron and joined the others in processing the pig's trotters.
Although the receipt and reminder of takeout orders are bound to Zhao Xiaojing's mobile phone, Zhao Xiaojing has no time to handle it because she is cooking, so she has always handed it over to Lu Hongwen.
"Okay, let Xiao Wanzi come. Was there someone coming outside just now? It sounded very noisy." Zhao Xiaojing asked.
"That's right. When they saw that they couldn't eat, they asked me where Wu Lesheng was sitting. They took turns to sit there and take pictures. Before they left, another group came. When they saw those people taking pictures, they also lined up to take pictures! Our table has become a check-in spot."
"Haha, no wonder, I didn't expect that." Zhao Xiaojing laughed.
"Boss! Is anyone there? Is anyone here?" a shout came from the front hall.
"Here!" Su Yuchen shouted in response, put down the pig's foot, lifted the door curtain and ran out.
"Another fan of Qin Zhichu." Thirty seconds later, Su Yuchen sighed and came in after opening the door curtain.
"Boss! Boss!"
Su Yuchen put down the pig's trotter he had just picked up and went out again.
"Wu Lesheng's." Su Yuchen felt like he had lost all hope in life and lifted the door curtain.
"Boss! Boss!"
"Not open yet! Tomorrow!" Su Yuchen paused and shouted from under the door curtain.
"Why don't you just stay outside? The three of us are enough." Zhao Xiaojing didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Su Yuchen nodded randomly and went out.
"Wow! This is really disturbing the fans!" Hou Guihua laughed.
"I've never seen a celebrity in my life. If Guihua and I had known, we could have come two days earlier so we could have seen Wu Lesheng." Geng Mingyan looked regretful.
Geng Mingyan and Hou Guihua came to Jiangcheng just a few days after the celebrity came, so they just missed it. When the first wave of fans arrived in the morning, Su Yuchen was about to explain the whole story to them, but the second wave of fans came, and Su Yuchen was busy greeting them again.
It was not until Zhao Xiaojing came back and went to the kitchen just now that she explained the whole story to the two of them. The two of them were extremely envious after hearing it, especially Geng Mingyan, who was a fan of Wu Lesheng.
"Didn't Xiao Zhao say there's a TV? Let's watch it on TV later! Xiao Zhao, please help us find it on our phones when you're done!" said Hou Guihua.
"The mirror phone can watch the extended version. I'll play it for you after dinner so you can watch it together." Su Yuchen lifted the door curtain again and came in, saying with a relaxed look on his face.
"Why did you come in again? It's dinner time now, and someone else will surely come soon." Zhao Xiaojing said.
"It's okay if you come. I've already closed the door and posted a note in black and white saying that we'll be open tomorrow."
"...Smart." Zhao Xiaojing gave a thumbs up.
For lunch, Zhao Xiaojing heated up the braised pork belly that Su's mother had prepared, simply stir-fried the sausage with garlic sprouts, and stir-fried the spinach bought from the market in the morning. She made some egg drop soup and cut a plate of braised beef, and the four of them had a simple meal.
Although the door was closed, the four of them found a corner table to sit at in order to avoid the guests seeing them through the glass door.
"Don't mention it. I think it's mediocre when I eat it every day at home, but why does it suddenly taste so good when I bring it to Jiangcheng?" Su Yuchen ate several slices of sausage and braised pork in a row, with an expression full of aftertaste.
“The same goes for beef. The marinade is the same, but I didn’t notice it at home. Why does it taste so good here?” Zhao Xiaojing felt the same way while eating beef.
"That's because I've eaten too much good food at home! In the past, when I went back home for the Chinese New Year, nothing tasted good. Before I left, my mother packed sausages for me, but I was always reluctant and only packed a small bag. Then when I got to the construction site, I would heat one every day and eat two bowls of rice!" Hou Guihua said with a smile.
