When the two finally stopped, Qin Jian’s stomach was full and he lay on the table and didn’t want to move. Zhou Yan was better than him, and could gracefully wipe his hands and mouth with a wet wipe.
“This store is absolutely amazing. Now I’m a little suspicious of what I used to eat.” Qin Jian lay on the table and looked at Zhou Yan with a suspicious expression on his face.
Zhou Yan glanced at him in disgust, then clicked on his terminal, uploaded the pictures taken when the fried chicken and milk tea came up for the second time to his social account, and finally edited a daily post.
In less than ten minutes, there were hundreds of likes and comments. Many people asked which store this was, so Zhou Yan posted the address link, and a group of people clamored to come.
Qin Jian glanced at Zhou Yan’s terminal sourly, “As expected of a school grass. So many people comment each day.”
Zhou Yan chuckled lightly, took the order screen just now to check out and pay, and then He stood up and said, “Let’s go, we have stuff to do in the afternoon. Don’t dawdle.”
Qin Jian sighed and stood up, and patted Qiu Zhenyang on the shoulder before leaving. “Your food is good, we’ll come back next time!”
Qiu Zhenyang smiled and saw the guests off. “Thank you for your patronage!”
The first group of guests were sent away, and the two of them had a little free time. Qiu Zhenyang looked at the time, turned around and said to Ling Mu, “Come on, let’s eat something first. Anyway, no one is here now, let’s go and eat it later.”
Although fried chicken and milk tea are delicious, Qiu Zhenyang was not willing to let Ling Mu eat this all the time, so he prepared some food in the back when he had time this morning.
Ling Mu nodded. He didn’t really care. After all, when he was working in the past, there were often times when he couldn’t eat.
The two went into the back kitchen for lunch like this. Who knew that just after they had eaten a couple of bites, the front hall became noisy.
Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu raised their heads and looked at each other, both puzzled.
“You eat first, I’ll go out and have a look.”
With that, Qiu Zhenyang put down the tableware and went to the front hall. Ling Mu didn’t listen to him; he also put down the bowl and chopsticks and went out behind Qiu Zhenyang.
As soon as they got to the front hall, both of them were stunned.
“It should be here, right?”
“It’s just like the photo that Senior Zhou sent. It should be here, hurry up and order.”
“The restaurant recommended by the school grass must be delicious. Hurry up, I just saw Lisa and the others on the way over…”
There were suddenly two or three more tables of guests in the front hall, all of them ordering on the order screen. And listening to what they said, Qiu Zhenyang was a little bit dumbfounded.
Qiu Zhenyang heard the names of the two previous guests, and one of the guests was surnamed Zhou.
It seems that the boy should have recommended the store, but Qiu Zhenyang didn’t expect him to be so influential. He actually brought so many customers to him all at once.
“There aren’t many people, you go to eat first, and then come out for me after you finish eating.”
Qiu Zhenyang saw that the guests were good now, and he was too busy to come by himself, so he pushed Ling Mu to let him eat.
Ling Mu was a little unhappy: “You are the boss.”
Qiu Zhenyang was happy: “Yes, I am the boss, so you have to listen to me and go eat first. But don’t eat too fast, it’s not good for your stomach. Eat slowly, I can handle it here.”
Seeing Qiu Zhenyang insist, Ling Mu can only go back to the kitchen to eat first.
Although Qiu Zhenyang told him not to eat too fast, Ling Mu still ate much faster than usual out of habit. After a few bites, he wiped his mouth with a tissue and went out to work.
What Ling Mu didn’t expect was that there were only two or three tables of people before he went in, but when he came out, the store was full!
“Why are there so many people? Did you make a mistake?” Qiu Zhenyang’s head felt swollen looking at the customers in the store. Although the back kitchen is operated by robots, so there is no problem, there’s only him and Ling Mu who can be waiters. How can they entertain so many people?
Because robot food delivery is not popular here, he instead chose the more humane human waiter, so Qiu Zhenyang did not place any orders for food delivery robots. Now it seems… This is a completely stupid decision!
Seeing that Ling Mu was so busy taking the plates from the dining outlet and delivering them to the guests as soon as he came out, Qiu Zhenyang regretted it.
He opened this store to take care of Ling Mu, not to squeeze his labor and keep him busy!
But thinking about it carefully, this is actually beneficial. He can use this to raise Ling Mu’s salary. Yay~
Seeing the endless supply of plates from the delivery port, Qiu Zhenyang stopped thinking about it and was about to continue waitering until he saw Zhuo Hang and Yuan Chenyu walking in with several classmates.
“Damn, why are there so many people?” Yuan Chenyu looked at the situation in the store in shock. He and Zhuo Hang went home last night, and they came back after lunch today in order to support Qiu Zhenyang. They don’t even have seats!
Qiu Zhenyang’s eyes lit up when he saw them coming. Isn’t this a ready-made labor force!
“Hurry up, hurry up and help me bring the plates together!” Qiu Zhenyang shoved a serving tray into Yuan Chenyu’s hand, and pulled Zhuo Hang and a few other classmates over. “Each plate has a number on it. Bringing it to the table corresponding to the number will do. I’ll invite you to eat fried chicken when I’m done!”
Yuan Chenyu, who was still a little confused, was instantly excited hearing the words fried chicken. “Okay, I got it~”
The tray vanished.
Upon seeing this, several other classmates also went out. They had a good relationship with Qiu Zhenyang and were happy to help.
Zhuo Hang looked at Yuan Chenyu’s back without a word, and said to Qiu Zhenyang, “As expected, I thought, there are so many customers. You didn’t promote it at all, so I thought it would be easier at first, but it turned out that I was wrong.”
Qiu Zhenyang waved his hand and told the story of the two previous guests.
“Oh~ looks like a celebrity helped you promote it. I heard that Zhou Yan is the school grass of the Interstellar Academy. With him doing the promotion, it’s no wonder that 90% of the customers in your store are omegas.”
Zhuo Hang aside, Qiu Zhenyang really didn’t notice it. But looking at it now, as expected, the store is nearly full of omegas!
“Tsk, how charming is that school grass?” Qiu Zhenyang didn’t feel envious or jealous; he was just curious.
“Yeah, a third-year mecha genius with top academics and a good family background, but…” Zhuo Hang looked at Qiu Zhenyang from side to side and smiled a little evilly. “But now, compared with our Young Master Qiu, he doesn’t seem like much.”
Qiu Zhenyang slapped Zhuo Hang. “What nonsense, I don’t want to compare with others. Hurry up and help!”
Zhuo Hang smiled, shaking his head as he walked towards the dining outlet. At the same time, his eyes swept over the hall. When he was sure that most of the omegas were quietly blushing looking at Qiu Zhenyang, he muttered a sentence in his mouth: “How am I saying nonsense…”
Qiu Zhenyang and the others hardly had time to stop that afternoon.
The business in the store is really booming. Not to mention a full store, there were still many people lining up outside the door. In desperation, Qiu Zhenyang went to a nearby department store to buy a lot of chairs and temporarily placed them outside so that the waiting guests could have a place to rest.
At the beginning, those who came did come through Zhou Yan’s post, but later, as the number of people increased, it also attracted many people who came to the commercial street to eat, not to mention those who had already eaten. People who passed by called friends and acquaintances over, and the number of customers naturally increased.
“No more,, Zhenyang, I’m really exhausted, you should close the store now!” Yuan Chenyu said to Qiu Zhenyang with a bitter face. Waitering was very fresh at first. Because he was handsome and liked to laugh a lot, many omegas and betas came to chat with him.
But after a large number of guests came, Yuan Chenyu didn’t have time to interact with others at all, and felt like a spinning top.
Qiu Zhenyang looked at his terminal. It was already 4:30 in the afternoon. He glanced at the situation in the store. Although it had been a busy afternoon, there were no signs of the crowd decreasing. In fact, thinking about it, there were so many people in the afternoon, not to mention it’s almost dinner time, so the customer flow won’t stop anytime soon.
Thinking that he might be busy for several hours, Qiu Zhenyang’s mouth twitched.
As an alpha with excellent physical qualities, he is not very tired, but…
Qiu Zhenyang looked at Ling Mu, who had been busy all afternoon, carrying more dishes than anyone else. Because there were so many people, he never rested, and he didn’t even have time to take a sip of water. His lips were already dry to the point of peeling, and his gait was a little slow. Although his expression was unchanged, Qiu Zhenyang knew that he must be very tired.
He immediately made a decision in his heart.
Walking to the door of the store, Qiu Zhenyang smiled apologetically at the customers sitting outside the door. “I’m sorry, our store is closed at 5 o’clock today. Kindly ask all customers to come back tomorrow. In order to compensate for your time, I’ll send everyone a coupon for your next visit!”
Qiu Zhenyang’s words disappointed people outside the store, and some even asked why the store closed so early.
“We really didn’t expect so many guests, and don’t have enough ingredients, I’m sorry!” Qiu Zhenyang politely distributed coupons to everyone, and a few omegas couldn’t say anything when they saw his face.
After finally getting rid of the guests outside the door, Qiu Zhenyang directly asked Zhuo Hang to stand at the door and told those who came later that they were closed.
As for the guests in the store, after Qiu Zhenyang notified them of the 5 o’clock close, they all finished their meals wisely and left one after another.
When the door of the milk tea shop was finally closed, everyone slumped down in their chairs, not wanting to move.
“Come on, here’s your milk tea and fried chicken. You can eat as much as you want. It’s a reward for helping me today.” Qiu Zhenyang came over with milk tea and fried chicken for them to enjoy together.
Qiu Zhenyang stuffed a large bottle of fresh juice in Ling Mu’s hand, who sat in the corner holding the bottle and sucking it with a straw.
Yuan Chenyu drank a bottle of milk tea in one breath, and said to Qiu Zhenyang, “I’m really convinced, your shop will definitely be popular in the future.”
Another classmate who helped, Ruan Qing, gnawed on a chicken leg and nodded in agreement. “I think you’d better find more waiters. We can help occasionally, but we don’t have time to help when we usually have classes or something. “
Qiu Zhenyang nodded, but he didn’t want to recruit people. Instead, he was going to order a batch of food delivery robots.
Because, he didn’t want to see that situation from Ling Mu’s previous shop again.
QZY: Noooo… too many people. Wait, I can give Mumu more $, yay!
QZY: … nevermind, there’s too many. Need backup!
