Xiaoyu's home cooking business gradually became regular, with Ye Chui as the head chef and Tian Xiaodu helping out - of course, since Ye Chui taught Tian Xiaodu how to make each dish on the recipe, most of the work in the kitchen was handed over to him. Ye Chui would only do it himself when important guests came, such as when his future mother-in-law came to eat...
Han Yuyan was still not a qualified waiter, but this sister was determined to adapt to her new job. Ye Chui had to say that she was doing a good job. At least she would not attack the guests who came to eat. In addition, after scrapping several sets of dishes, her ability to wash dishes was greatly improved...
The happiest time of the day for Ye Cui is when Lin Wei comes over at noon and in the evening. Being a young man in love, having a pure first love, these wonderful feelings that he did not experience in his previous life, make Ye Cui enjoy them in this life.
Time passed slowly and the weather gradually became warmer.
While Han Yuyan was busy installing air conditioners in the hotel and guest rooms, another thing happened quietly—
It was noon time.
With the sound of "ding-ling-ling", the last class came to an end. In Class 3, Grade 1 of Xizhou No. 32 Middle School, the students who had suffered a lot from the torture of their math teacher for a whole class cheered one after another. By this time, their stomachs were already growling with hunger.
"I'm so hungry. I don't know what to eat for lunch."
"I'm going to eat at Brother Anjing's restaurant. The food there is really delicious, much better than our cafeteria."
"That's right, it's not only delicious but also very cheap. As quiet students, we get a discount!"
"I still have homework to do, so please bring me some extra money. I want garlic eggplant rice."
A group of students were discussing enthusiastically. They had become regular customers of Ye Chui's restaurant in recent times. The food in the restaurant was of course more expensive than that in the cafeteria, but because of Ye Chui's preferential policies, it was not that expensive and was completely affordable for ordinary middle school students.
Correspondingly, An Jing is also very popular in the class.
An Jing is a beautiful and quiet girl, a veritable class belle and school belle. Originally, she didn't have many close friends in the class, and for a girl like her, it was inevitable that some girls were secretly unhappy with her. But recently this situation has been greatly improved - just after class, a group of girls surrounded her chattering.
"An Jing, I want to have lunch at your brother's restaurant at noon. Let's go together."
"I want to go too, let's go together."
"Okay." An Jing nodded after packing her things. With her personality, she didn't really enjoy the feeling of being the center of attention. However, she knew that this was also her brother's good intention, so she didn't refuse anything. Moreover, hearing these girls talking about her brother like a star, An Jing felt a little sweetness and happiness in her heart.
"Anjing, can I ask you something?" One of Anjing's classmates suddenly blushed and whispered to Anjing.
An Jing was a little surprised, looked at him and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Um..." The classmate's face seemed to get even redder, "Does your brother have a girlfriend?"
Girls of fifteen or sixteen are just at the age when they start to fall in love. Ye Chui is of similar age but has an extraordinary temperament that is completely different from his peers. He easily captured the hearts of many girls. Some of these girls even quietly gave Ye Chui a nickname: "Food Prince".
When Ye Chui heard An Jing mention this nickname, he couldn't help laughing. It seemed that he had become a prince...
Hearing this girl asking An Jing about Ye Chui's girlfriend, some other girls also looked at An Jing with anticipation.
An Jing smiled and replied, "I'm sorry, my brother has a girlfriend now."
"Really?" The girls were inevitably disappointed. The one who asked the question first was still not giving up. "Who is your brother's girlfriend?"
"It's Sister Lin Wei who recently transferred to Class 5, Grade 2." An Jing replied with a smile.
Hearing Lin Wei's name, a group of girls couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Girls all like gossip. It was well-known that a beautiful girl had recently transferred to the school and had directly threatened An Jing's position as the school belle. But no one expected that this beautiful girl was actually the girlfriend of the "Food Prince" in their minds.
While feeling extremely disappointed, they also felt that the reputation of the Food Prince was well-deserved. Not only did he have a sister who was a school belle, he also had a girlfriend who was a school belle - they didn't know that Ye Chui actually had an older sister who was once a school belle in college.
Several girls secretly made up their minds that if Ye Chui became single again, they would definitely win him over...
As An Jing watched her classmates dreaming about the love story between the school beauty and the gourmet prince, she couldn't help but wonder uncertainly in her heart, is Sister Lin Wei considered Ye Chui's girlfriend now
A group of girls left the classroom chatting and laughing, and several boys followed behind. These were the students who also wanted to eat at Xiaoyu's home-cooked restaurant. The leaders among them were Zhang Chun and Hao Peng.
Watching these people leave, Zhao Hongyu, who was sitting in his seat, had a more and more twisted face. Recently, he found himself gradually being isolated. Even Zhang Chun and Hao Peng, who had a good relationship with him, often ignored him. And occasionally when he wanted to talk to An Jing, these two people would stand up to stop him at the first time - the two of them seemed to have become An Jing's protectors.
Needless to say, everyone knew that this was all Ye Chui's doing. What Zhao Hongyu couldn't stand the most was that he was originally considered a popular figure in the class, but now the girls in the class were all discussing what was going on with the "Food Prince" and what was going on with him
He packed his things in a huff and came to the cafeteria listlessly.
The cafeteria of Xizhou No. 32 Middle School is pretty good. Although the school is not a closed one, there used to be many people staying to eat at noon every day. But now there are only a few people sparsely populated in the cafeteria. This is all thanks to Ye Chui. Although his restaurant is small, it can do take-out. Many people are now accustomed to buying boxed lunches at his restaurant for lunch, and the business here in the cafeteria is almost being squeezed out.
“What gourmet prince? He’s not even as handsome as me…” Zhao Hongyu muttered to himself as he walked into the cafeteria’s kitchen. As the “young master of the cafeteria”, he was naturally qualified to come to this no-entry place.
"Hongyu, you're here. What would you like to eat for lunch?" asked a middle-aged man in a white chef's uniform. He was leaning against the chopping board, flipping through a newspaper with a cigarette in his hand. This man was Zhao Hongyu's father, Zhao Yingjie. Normally, the kitchen would be the busiest at this time, but now Zhao Yingjie was very free.
"Whatever." Zhao Hongyu underestimated and stretched his neck to look outside. "Dad, our business seems to be getting worse and worse."
"fine."
Zhao Yingjie closed the newspaper and put it aside, revealing a somewhat confident smile: "This situation will improve soon."
"Dad, what's going on?" Zhao Hongyu's eyes suddenly lit up.
Zhao Yingjie chuckled and said to his son with a bit of cunning, "Haven't there been a few violent incidents in the area recently? I've already told the principal that new school rules will be issued soon. For the sake of students' safety, students are not allowed to go outside the school at noon. By then, I wonder how that restaurant outside the school will be able to compete with us for business."
