The news of Boss Lin's reply was posted on Weibo that evening. People from all walks of life were eager to go and grab a seat early the next day. They must go into the restaurant to try it and see what kind of divine food it is.
As a result, the first group of people who arrived at the Magic Fish Shop were dumbfounded when they saw the sign hanging on the door.
"We only receive five tables at noon, and each table can only seat 1 person, which means that only 20 people can go in for lunch..."
"Don't think too much. Boss Lin wrote five tables. One table for two people is one table, and one table for one person is also one table."
Everyone: “…”
If you meet someone who is easy to talk to, you can share a table with him. If you meet someone who is difficult to talk to, you have to sit at your own table. What can you do about it
The first group of people who arrived looked at each other and silently counted the number of people...
Damn it, there are already more than a dozen of us, if more people come, won’t it be a Shura field? !
Those who react quickly will immediately run to the front of the line, no matter how many people are behind them. Those in front can eat, and those behind can eat.
When Lin Jiu dragged the incubator to the store, he was frightened by the crowded crowd at the door. The scene was comparable to a concert of Stephen Chow - or perhaps it really was.
Lin Jiu saw many young men and women in the crowd, all of them looking around excitedly, as if looking for someone.
The fact that Si Jiu liked Jiang Jiangge's Weibo post became a hot topic on the same day. It was impossible for Lin Jiu not to see it. After a month, these fans finally followed them to the store. They said they would meet a man in the Magic Fish store, and they really took action.
What's going on with the others? Didn't they write five tables? How come so many people are gathered here
When everyone saw the outfit, black mask, long hair, and slender figure, wasn't he the Boss Lin in the video
"Boss Lin, your rules are unreasonable. I came all the way here, but you only serve ten tables a day and the restaurant doesn't accept reservations. Do I ever hope to eat the delicious food at Magic Fish Restaurant in my lifetime?"
"Yes, yes. We took the high-speed train early in the morning to get here, but so many people gathered here. What should we outsiders do?"
"I didn't even dare to go to the toilet because I had to wait in line. Now I just want to have some fun..."
"There's not even a hotel in this place. Even if we wanted to stay here overnight, we couldn't get in without queuing up early the next morning..."
"This is a good hotel, the Old Street Hotel, only 50 meters away from the Magic Fish Shop. It was just renovated this month and is guaranteed to be clean and tidy." A thin man was trying his best to promote his own hotel.
Lin Jiu was surprised to recognize the thin man. It was Mr. Sun, the owner of the 2 Yuan boutique. He didn't know when he converted the boutique into a hotel. His intention to make money from the Magic Fish shop was obvious.
Boss Sun was very smart, seeing how popular the Magic Fish Shop was, he did not become jealous like the others, but instead seized the business opportunity. As long as the Magic Fish Shop survived, his hotel business would surely benefit.
Noticing Lin Jiu's gaze, Boss Sun smiled at Lin Jiu, his smile full of goodwill, and Lin Jiu nodded.
After a while, Boss Sun was surrounded by people. Many people wanted to stay overnight and were preparing to grab tomorrow's spots.
Boss Sun was very happy and collected deposits on the spot. Many people on the old street were watching and seeing how easy it was for Boss Sun to make money, they became very excited.
When Lin Jiu was dragging the incubator to enter the store, a group of men in suits of varying heights and weights blocked his way. They introduced themselves one after another and handed Lin Jiu their business cards. They were all jewelers, some wanted to be middlemen to make a profit, some were in the jewelry raw materials business, and some just opened jewelry stores. They all wanted to buy the raw Black Star Beads from Lin Jiu.
Lin Jiu answered in unison, "I'm sorry, I'm not selling black star beads for a living. My shop sells black star shells, and occasionally I run into black star beads, so I sell them as well. So you can help me, I sell black star beads."
"How many black star shells do you want? I want to buy black star shells!" The jeweler responded quickly.
Others also reacted and said they wanted to buy black star shells.
Lin Jiu looked at these merchants one by one, "It's the store's rule not to ask about the ingredients. Do you think I will sell the ingredients to you?"
Jewelry owners: “…”
"Perhaps we can talk in private." The young man chuckled. "I'm Xue Xinlin from Kerry. I can talk to you on behalf of Kerry. Kerry will satisfy any request you make. You can get resources, sing, or act in a movie."
The surroundings suddenly became quiet. Everyone was worried that Lin Jiu would really not open the store and go back to being a celebrity. They, the food lovers, would not be happy!
Xue Xilin is a very conceited person. Even if he wants to win over Lin Jiu now, he has to stand in a superior position. Xue Xilin's status in City A makes him feel proud. He has played with countless celebrities, but Xue Xilin doesn't even look down on Lin Jiu, a 38th-tier celebrity.
Lin Jiu heard the contempt in his words, "Kerry was the first one to reject the Black Star Bead, didn't you know?"
The smile on Xue Xinlin's face disappeared, and he had a bad feeling.
"If 'Carey' wants black star beads, you can go to 'Blue Lord' to buy them. I have the black star beads you want." Lin Jiu did not show any mercy. Carrey had come to him again and again, and Lin Jiu was tired of dealing with him.
Lin Jiu dragged the incubator to open the door and said to the crowded crowd, "Those who have lined up for lunch please come earlier next time, thank you."
Xue Xilin stared gloomily at the store door for a long time before he looked at Ji Anchen in the crowd, not hiding his malice at all.
Ji Anchen curled his lips towards Xue Xinlin, making him so angry that he almost exploded on the spot without caring about his image.
Most of them are smart people. Lin Jiu's meaning is very clear. If he wants to buy the Black Star Bead from Lan Jue, it means that the Black Star Bead can only appear in Lan Jue in the future, and others have no chance.
Lin Jiu has already made his position public, so if Ji Anchen continues to cling to the exclusive sales rights, it would seem petty.
Lin Jiu had originally planned to sell the Black Star Bead to a second merchant. Ji Anchen was honest in doing business and he was Si's cousin, so Lin Jiu would not sell it to anyone else.
A public statement can also dispel some people's thoughts and bring peace of mind.
Lin Jiu brought out a small blackboard, on which was today's dish, a shrimp feast. Those who don't like shrimp can leave it out.
Chalcedony rice (bowl)/98 yuan
Fresh shrimp porridge (single person) / 1998 yuan
Fresh shrimp porridge (two people) / 3998 yuan
Grilled shrimp legs/1098 yuan
Shrimp tail sashimi/3998 yuan
Steamed shrimp claws (for 2-4 people) / 29,998 yuan
Everyone who has eaten there knows that Magic Fish Shop has more than three dishes every day, and today it actually launched three new dishes at once.
There are fewer reception tables and more dishes.
But the price really discouraged a lot of people.
Someone took a photo of today’s menu and uploaded it to the Internet. In just a few minutes, “Today’s dishes at Magic Fish Shop” became a hot topic.
The comments are flying in the sky.
"I've heard that the Magic Fish Shop is very expensive, but it's actually this expensive. I'm so naive!"
"My old swan, the shrimp claws cost 30,000 yuan. How big of a shrimp claw can be so expensive! Can you order shrimp claws? Take a picture and see. Tears are already flowing down my mouth.jpg"
"Rice costs 98 yuan a bowl... I regret it. If I ate one less bowl of rice every day, I would be rich now..."
"Wake up upstairs, the rice you eat is not the same as the rice that Boss Lin eats!"
"You're asking for an exorbitant price, you're a shady shopkeeper. I'll report you, no need to thank me!"
"I want to know, how to grill shrimp legs? They are so thin..."
“Hahahaha, the shrimp legs that the above person was thinking of and the shrimp legs that Boss Lin was eating might not be the same kind of legs. I’m also very curious. Boss, please post a photo so we can open our eyes. Slurp slurp.jpg”
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! Foodie Jiang Jiangge has revealed his photos! Go check them out!"
People who know Jiang Jiangge have already seen the picture, and people who don’t know Jiang Jiangge have also found it.
Foodie Jiang Jiangge v: "I've already eaten it, it's delicious. My friend, you ordered grilled shrimp legs and steamed shrimp claws."
The comments section has gone crazy.
"Is it because Jiang Jiangge's photography skills are so good, or is it because the food itself is so tempting? This is also very beautiful, right?!"
“Not only does it look good, it might taste good too!”
"Oh my god, are there shrimp legs this thick? A comparison picture instantly appeared in my mind: shrimp legs..."
"Shit! They're not the same kind of legs!"
"Ahhh!!!! How can there be such a big shrimp claw! It's so big, so big, I want to eat it!!!!!!!"
"Oh my god, a shrimp claw occupies the center position. The meat is so full, so white, and so delicious. Slurp, slurp, slurp—"
Foodie Jiang Jiangge v: "I recommend the red fruit wine brewed by Boss Lin himself. It's suitable for girls to drink. After drinking a glass, the fragrance lingers in your mouth and even your breath is filled with fragrance picture picture picture."
The picture shows a wooden wine barrel, a white wine jug, and a glass of light red fruit wine.
"Ahhh!!!! So delicate, so beautiful, the treasure boss knows everything, I'm so excited!"
"I love wine, and I really want to try the fragrant fruit wine."
"Don't even think about the people upstairs. Look at the pictures of the people queuing up. Those who know they are waiting for food, but those who don't know might think it's a waiting hall!"
"Fuck! There are too many people here. If this happens every day, won't it affect traffic?"
"Is this a traffic problem? This is a customer flow problem! It won't be long before the Magic Fish Shop will boost the economy of the entire old street!"
“I saw an opportunity to make a fortune.”
"See +1"
"Bye, I'm on my way to Old Street, I've missed the business opportunity—"
"… "
When lunch time came, Lin Jiu opened the door for business.
More than half of the people outside the door have left, and some are still leaving, hoping that the boss will not be so heartless.
Boss Lin was so heartless. "First table, please come in."
The first table was occupied by two mature men. They refused to allow others to join them and sat at the table alone.
The people in the queue were dissatisfied, "It's clearly a table for 2 people, but there are only two people sitting there, boss, can't you make some arrangements?"
Lin Jiu said: "No need to arrange, I just look at the number of tables."
One person is a table, and two people are also a table.
"Boss, you are so stupid. You want to maximize profits. The store is small, so the seats must be full."
"No need." Lin Jiu said in a light tone, "In the Magic Fish Restaurant, customers have the right to occupy a table alone."
The purpose of entering a restaurant is to enjoy delicious food, not to accommodate or feel uncomfortable. Most people are not used to sharing a table with strangers. People pay for their meals, so why can't they have their own table? Why do they have to share their dining space with others
In order to allow guests to enjoy their dining space more comfortably, Lin Jiu went through a lot of trouble last night and asked the system to slightly adjust the seats on the first floor to make people feel more comfortable.
When Lin Jiu said this, many people thought he was stupid and cheered loudly.
Most people don't like this experience. Even though they don't like it, they have to reluctantly agree to share a table with others in order to eat the food they want.
Lin Jiu's place is not strict. If you enter the store, you must either not enter, or you must enjoy yourself comfortably, without any compromise or force.
The two men had business to discuss and it was inconvenient for them to sit at the table with strangers. They were worried that the boss would be unhappy, but when they thought about how considerate the boss was to the guests, they walked into the store with peace of mind and prepared to enjoy their food.
"Table 2, please come in."
There were five people at the second table. Judging from their appearance, they must be sharing a table.
As long as they are willing, Lin Jiu will not say more.
There were also only 3 people at the third table.
There are three people at the first table, a group of friends.
"Table 5, please come in."
At the fifth table were two young women, one tall and thin, the other plump and round.
The tall woman kept persuading her bestie, "… Just give it a try and you'll know if it works. Didn't the internet say that eating shrimp is okay?"
My best friend worriedly said, "I can't eat anything."
"This is not just eating randomly. Didn't you see a girl on Weibo saying that she had suffered from dysmenorrhea for many years, and a bowl of hot soup cured it. She had dysmenorrhea for two months in a row. You can try it too..."
"Are you guys going to eat or not? If not, give it to us." Looking at those people who were full of hope, and seeing that people from the fifth table were taking a long time to come in, he became a little anxious.
The tall woman glared at him, "Why are you rushing me? Do you think your legs are too thick if you don't wait in line for hours?"
My bestie pulled my friend and said, "How about you eat, I'll keep you company."
"Why are you always hesitating and worrying about what you want to accompany me for? You don't need to bother with the time. You might as well ask the boss directly."
“Hey…” The best friend tried to stop her, but the tall woman had already spoken.
"Boss, the internet says that shrimps can help with lactation. Can the shrimps you sell help with lactation? My friend's baby is just two months old and she has a habit of milk blockage. She had a fever of 40 degrees during menstruation and her milk was as hard as a rock. She tried every possible method, but still has milk blockage. I was eating alone, but when I saw so many shrimps, I wanted to try it. So I called my bestie to see if it would work?"
My best friend's face turned red. She felt so embarrassed to have such a thing said in public.
Some people gloated and waited for the show, while others pricked up their ears to wait for the answer. Who would have thought that a breastfeeding wife would have a milk blockage? Even if she herself was wrong, her relatives would be wrong too.
Lin Jiu: "Yes, I recommend eating fresh shrimp porridge and grilled shrimp legs, which will have a quick effect."
Among the effects of the Magic Brocade Flower Dragon given by the system, the most clear one is the "lactation" effect, and Lin Jiu is not afraid to make such an exaggeration.
As soon as Lin Jiu said this, the crowd exploded.
Lin Jiu's words were so certain that they felt fake.
Everyone was filming the whole time, and caught off guard by capturing such an exciting scene, which they immediately shared on Weibo, and with an attractive title, it would only take a few minutes to attract fans!
People reminded: "It is best not to eat anything during breastfeeding, as it will affect the baby."
"This sounds so familiar, I thought it was my best friend's mother-in-law who was angry." The tall woman choked and pulled her best friend into the store.
Lin Jiu was about to leave when he heard a girl shout, "Boss Lin, can you tell us when we're going to have dinner?"
Lin Jiu paused as he opened the door and looked at them coldly, "No."
The star-chasing girl on the roadside: "… "
"Ahhhhh!!! Boss, you look at me like that!"
"A scheming male top x a cool and beautiful bottom! I've already imagined it to the end!"
"Stop thinking! I am the only man in the world! The only beautiful man in the world!"
"Are you still surprised when a man gives you a like? Who have you ever given a like to?"
"No, no! Men won't abandon us!"
The star-chasing girls have been divided into two camps, with CP and Du Wei competing with each other and almost coming to blows.
At lunch, not many people ordered steamed shrimp claws, but the price suggests that not many people will order it.
The first table of two ordered shrimp congee, grilled shrimp legs and shrimp tail sashimi.
The fresh shrimp porridge is made by boiling the shells of the magic broccoli into soup, which is then boiled into porridge with chalcedony rice and shrimp roe. It is golden in color without a single shrimp shell left, and has a fresh, fragrant and soft taste, and is very delicious.
Each serving of grilled shrimp contains one leg, each about three fingers thick. The shell of the shrimp leg has been cut open, revealing the white meat inside. It is topped with a special sauce and is extremely delicious.
The shrimp tail sashimi has crystal clear shrimp meat, smooth texture and sweet aftertaste.
The second and third tables were shared tables, and everyone ordered their own food. The third table was the same as the first.
The last table followed Lin Jiu's suggestion and ordered shrimp porridge and grilled shrimp legs.
Without exception, everyone fell in love with the dish after taking one bite. Even the guests at the first table, who were ready to discuss business, had no time to talk and were only focused on enjoying the food.
My best friend almost finished the double serving of shrimp porridge and ate a lot of grilled shrimp legs. While eating, she suddenly bent down, awkwardly covering her chest and wishing she could crawl under the table.
The tall woman asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
My bestie whispered, "I'm shocked, what should I do?"
The tall woman leaned over and saw that her best friend's clothes were already wet. It was a really embarrassing scene.
The tall woman looked around, trying to find something to block her way. When she found it, she heard the boss's pleasant voice.
"There's a button on the wall. If you don't want to be disturbed, you can lower the bamboo curtain." Lin Jiu had sharp ears and sharp eyes, and even though the two spoke in low voices, they were still heard.
The tall woman smiled gratefully and found the buttons on the wall. There were three buttons, corresponding to three directions. As long as they were all put down, there would be an independent space inside. If her bestie wanted to change her breast pads, she had to put all three buttons down.
The automatic bamboo curtains produced by the system can be put up and retracted, completely automatically. This is also a solution forced out of insufficient private rooms. Fortunately, the bamboo curtains are delicate enough, the chair backs are high enough, and the style is unified, so they do not look ugly when put down.
The two people at the first table also used this function and lowered two bamboo curtains to separate the second table. This independent space made people feel relaxed and comfortable.
The first table followed suit and lowered the bamboo curtain, followed by the second and third tables. They were strangers to each other, and staying in a small space would only make them more uncomfortable.
Those who agreed to share the table have already regretted it. They got a rare opportunity to eat, and they should have enjoyed it, but they have to share it with strangers. They feel a little bit at a loss. Even if the other party agrees to pay for part of the meal for them, they still feel uncomfortable.
The second and third tables finished their meals and paid the bill.
The other three tables were quite crowded. The environment in the restaurant was more comfortable, and we could have a proper chat after the delicious food.
The best friend couldn't believe it and pressed on her chest, "It's really smoothed out, the milk knot here is gone."
The tall woman laughed and said, "Your nipples are given to your breast pads."
The swelling and pain disappeared, and my bestie relaxed. "It's so effective. I'm going to eat more and try to get rid of the milk knots completely."
"Relax, don't be nervous, if you have any more lumps, we can fix them later."
The two of them cleaned up, finished their porridge and shrimp legs, closed the bamboo curtain, and turned around to pay.
There are babies in the store, so you can't be out for too long, otherwise they will definitely be reluctant to leave so soon. The store is very comfortable and will make people relax unconsciously. In such a store, you can sit there for a whole day without eating.
The tall woman scanned the code to pay. "Boss, I suspect you are quietly making medicinal food. If you say it can promote lactation, then it can promote lactation. After eating the shrimp porridge, the milk knot is relieved. It's so ridiculous that even TV doesn't dare to show it like this. I admit it."
The two tables that had left: "..."
The friend's face turned red and she pulled the tall woman, asking her to be more restrained.
Lin Jiu's face under the mask was expressionless, "It's good as long as it's connected."
Tall woman: “…”
Originally, I thought the young boss would be embarrassed, but when I thought about how calm he was and how he could say such a thing, the tall woman was completely convinced.
"You've been a great help. I'll promote you. You're welcome." The tall woman waved her hand gracefully and left with her bestie.
Lin Jiu: “…”
In fact, there is no need for advertising. There are already enough people gathering at the door every day.
