Chapter 51 Your store is a huge hit!

Lin Lin didn't blame his younger brother for wanting to make pre-cooked meals.

Indeed, many restaurants use pre-made food to reduce costs.

He also knew that his younger brother was under a lot of pressure.

It's not just the pressure of their mother's medical expenses; the younger brother, now 31, has been dating his girlfriend for four years but still hasn't gotten married because of the lack of money.

Lin Lin knew that it wasn't that his younger brother didn't want to get married, but that the family didn't have the money for him.

The little money left should be used first for my mother's medical treatment.

He also knew that his brother wanted to reduce costs and make the restaurant more profitable by using pre-made meals.

Since taking over his father's Cantonese restaurant, Lin Lin has always adhered to his father's principle of using fresh ingredients and never keeping them overnight.

He has always done it this way.

But now...

Lin Lin raised his head, his eyes blurry with tears, and looked around the empty Cantonese restaurant.

He murmured, "Could it be that my insistence was wrong?"

Lin Lin was somewhat confused. On one hand, there were his and his father's principles, and on the other hand, there were his mother's medical expenses and his younger brother's marriage.

The two sides were constantly tangling in Lin Lin's mind, almost driving him to the brink of collapse.

What should he do?
In a shop with only one person—no, one ghost—Lin Lin buried his head in his hands and broke down in tears.

Chai Jianguo had been there the whole time, from the moment the two brothers started arguing until now, when Lin Lin was crying alone. Seeing Lin Lin sobbing in front of him, Chai Jianguo felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

He's been delivering food for a while now, but he's never actually delivered to the Good Taste Cantonese Restaurant.

However, when he was secretly investigating those unscrupulous businesses, he had visited the kitchen of Hao Weidao Cantonese Restaurant and was very impressed.

Sure enough, when it came to recording good businesses, this was the first one that came to Chai Jianguo's mind.

I just didn't expect to hear the brothers struggling.

Watching Lin Lin weep and struggle with her decision, Chai Jianguo silently said in his heart: Lin Lin, your persistence will be worthwhile. I believe your persistence will be rewarded.

……

Lin Xun made some harsh remarks to his brother that day and did not return.

However, he returned the next day.

However, he remained firm in his decision and decided to work for another week. After that, he would look for a job.

As for his girlfriend, she is indeed a very good person.

But he may not be able to give her a good life. If she meets a good boy later, although he will be reluctant and in pain, he may choose to let go.

Lin Xun loves his girlfriend Weiwei, so he doesn't want to hold her back.

Four more days passed.

It was around 11 a.m., and the restaurant was still deserted. There were no people dining in, let alone outside.

Lin Xun looked at his older brother organizing ingredients in the kitchen, thinking about leaving to work the day after tomorrow.

"This is the best Cantonese restaurant I've ever been to."

"This shop is indeed very clean."

"Go in quickly."

Just then, the noise outside the door interrupted Lin Xun's thoughts.

Upon seeing three young people who looked like college students enter, Lin Xun quickly asked, "Hello, are you three? This way, please."

"Correct."

Lin Xun didn't expect anyone to come. Although he had planned to quit the day after tomorrow, he was still happy that someone came.

Not only was he happy, but when he told his brother the dishes the three of them had ordered, his brother was also very happy when he went to cook them.

Lin Xun thought that having three guests was already very lucky.

But what happened next completely stunned Lin Xun. Not long after the three young men came in, two more people arrived... Over the next twenty minutes, people kept coming in, and the once empty tables and chairs were now full of people. There were no seats left for the later guests.

Strangely, they didn't leave; instead, they chose to continue waiting.

They also said their food was delicious and they definitely had to try it.

"Your new takeout order, please check it."

"You have..."

At the same time, the food delivery platform, which had been quiet until now, suddenly saw a surge in orders, with someone placing an order almost every minute.

At this moment, Lin Xun didn't have time to think about why there were suddenly more people dining in and why takeout orders were booming, because he was too busy.

He is the head chef, and he is responsible for serving dishes, taking cash, clearing plates, and so on. He is very busy.

Looking at the kitchen, Lin Lin, in his wheelchair, kept cooking nonstop, without even having time to drink water.

By noon, even more people had arrived.

The queue was incredibly long, but thankfully they had air conditioning, so those waiting in line weren't too hot once inside.

The store was packed to the brim.

Lin Xun was really overwhelmed with work. Fortunately, his two nieces, who had gone to tutoring classes, returned at noon. They were also surprised to see how busy the store was, but they quickly joined in to help.

"Boss, is the takeout for the 23rd ready yet?"

"Boss, are orders number 45 and 46 ready yet?"

Outside, a number of delivery riders arrived, all there to pick up takeout orders.

Seeing that the takeout orders were still pouring in, Lin Xun was worried that if he continued to take orders, the chef in the kitchen would not be able to keep up, so he quickly took the food off the platform temporarily.

Lin Xun breathed a sigh of relief when he finally stopped hearing the food delivery orders ringing.

Lin Xun was somewhat dazed, never expecting that he would have to take his shop down due to an overwhelming number of orders.

Unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable!

Even with the help of two nieces, there were still too many guests, and they were constantly coming in, so we still didn't have enough manpower.

Later, when Lin Xun's girlfriend, Weiwei, found out, she also came over to help, doing some cleaning and washing dishes.

But there are still not enough people.

In the end, some customers waiting for their food even helped clear the tables because they were so busy.

Moreover, some guests, upon arrival and finding no seats available, asked if they could make a reservation.

Lin Xun: How did my brother and I manage to make our little restaurant so popular that we have to take reservations?

Later, Lin Lin told Lin Xun that they could no longer accept customers for dine-in service because they were running out of ingredients.

Lin Lin personally selects the ingredients for each day at the morning market around four or five o'clock. He is very strict about this.

Previously, because the store had no business, the ingredients were never used up, and in the end, the unused ingredients were thrown away.

Right now, the store is so busy that we don't have enough ingredients!

The contrast was so stark that Lin Xun was quite taken aback.

Although I really wanted to tell his older brother that he could go buy the ingredients right now.

However, Lin Xun also knew that his elder brother was strict about ingredients, and his elder brother might not be satisfied with the ones he chose.

Alright, alright, since my elder brother has said so, let's do as he says.

Those customers who arrived and heard that even queuing for dine-in was temporarily impossible could only sigh, but they understood.

"Okay, then you should prepare more ingredients tomorrow. I'll come again tomorrow, so please make sure to save a table for me then."

As time went by, fewer customers came, and Lin Xun was no longer so busy. Lin Lin, who had been constantly cooking in the kitchen, finally had a break to rest.

It was at this moment that they asked the customers why they had suddenly come to their store.

"Hey, didn't you guys know? You guys are super popular on the Tencent Live platform!"
