Crossing the stars, I live-streamed my cultivation in kindergarten

Chapter 441 Trip to the Imperial Star 1
Emperor Star.

The children arrived ahead of schedule for this study tour to the Imperial Star.

Just like last time, the kids wandered around and broadened their horizons.

Our first stop, of course, was the Treasure Pavilion and Sunshine Hot Pot Restaurant in Dixing.

The hot pot restaurant and the Treasure Pavilion here are entirely managed by the Liu family.

Two shops, located side by side.

Since the Mermaid King's publicity, Treasure Pavilion's business has also improved.

No matter when you come, you need to make an appointment in advance.

"It's lunchtime, shall we go eat first?" Guan Wenyue asked the cubs for their opinions.

The eleven little ones discussed it and decided that their first stop would be to eat.

We can't skip eating first; Zhu Xia's stomach has been rumbling. If we don't fill his stomach first, no one can do anything else.

Seeing the cubs nod, Liu Linglong quickly contacted the manager of the hot pot restaurant.

"Prepare a large private room for twenty-three people immediately. I'm coming over now." Eleven students and twelve teachers.

I thought there wouldn't be any problems, but the hot pot restaurant manager replied to the video call with a long face: "Master, the private room has been reserved for you, but we can only serve you the broth and hot pot dishes. There are no other snacks or stir-fries. Oh, and no special dishes either."

Liu Linglong: "?".

The person in charge's face was contorted like a bitter gourd: "Master, there are too many customers, and our staff simply can't keep up. We can only prepare raw meat and vegetables for hot pot because we've bought enough robots."

Burr's eyes lit up. He tugged at Liu Linglong's clothes and asked, "Teacher Liu, is the hot pot restaurant on Dixing doing so well?" Is it even better than the hot pot restaurant they run on Hailan Star?

Upon hearing this, Gacio's competitive spirit was ignited.

Their hot pot restaurant in Hailanxing has been bustling with customers since it opened, busy from morning till night, and they have also brought in a lot of helpers and robots along the way.

It was the success of the hot pot restaurant that allowed them to pass many of Professor Hilcher's courses with high marks without any major setbacks, such as "Site Selection and Research for Opening a Store," "How to Build a Store's Reputation," and "How to Deal with Unfair Business Warfare from Competitors."

Teacher Hilcher's high score on the assessment has always been a source of pride for the cubs.

Is Dixing's hot pot restaurant now even more successful than when they were at Hailanxing?
Zhu Xia blinked, but unlike Boer and Gacio, he was thinking that the Sunshine Hot Pot Restaurant on Dixing was doing better than the one on Hailanxing, so was the food there more and tastier?
He can't wait to try it out!

The person in charge said, "Great, super great, so great that we've already transferred a lot of people from the family, but it's still not enough."

When Treasure Pavilion's business wasn't doing well, I could borrow a few people from it. But now that Treasure Pavilion's business is booming, my cousin Liu Junran is in charge. With his attitude, it would be better if he didn't ask me to "return" the people I borrowed before.

Now we can only operate on an appointment system, but the waiting list for appointments is already 3 months in advance.

All the employees, including myself, haven't had a day off for a whole month. We're busy from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. every day. The robots in the store are in even worse shape, working non-stop 24 hours a day..."

The person in charge looked miserable and poured out his grievances.

He's going to be so frustrated.

"Manager! Manager! Bro—where are you!!!"

"Manager, come out and help! We're overwhelmed! Where have you been?" The employees in the store were all beastmen from the Liu family, related by blood or marriage.

Although Liu Yiran is from the direct line and has a noble status, when he gets busy, who cares about whether you are from the direct or indirect line, or whether you are noble or not?

During the training, we were told that the customer comes first!

When things get really hectic, even the store manager can't just ignore it or stand idly by.

Liu Yiran: "Patriarch, when you arrive, just go straight to the top floor. I'll bring the hot pot base and dishes up to you then. Just make do with this meal."

The video call ended immediately after he finished speaking.

It seems they are indeed very busy.

--------

They are indeed very busy.

Liu Linglong and her group did not expect that they would be blocked at the entrance of the hot pot restaurant.

Doris asked in surprise, "Wow, so many people! Are they all queuing up for a meal?"

Yan Siyun: "I guess so, right?" If they weren't here to dine, why would they be queuing up?

To their surprise, an orc in the queue next to them gave them a strange look and said in an even stranger tone, "Who said our queue is for waiting to eat?"

Guan Wenyue was dumbfounded: "Then why are you queuing up...?"

The orc puffed out his chest and said proudly, "Of course, it's to smell the aroma wafting from the hot pot restaurant! And if you queue long enough, you might even get a complimentary sweet and sour lemonade with ice!"

Queuing up, just to smell the aroma? Hoping to get some lemonade?
What's there to be proud of?
People love it so much they're willing to queue up just to smell the aroma and get some lemonade, why don't they go in and have a meal?
The orc got more and more excited as he spoke: "You're here to smell the aroma too, right? First time here? You can line up behind me."

You're lucky today, there aren't many people. Those who need to go to school are going to school, and those who need to go to work are going to work. If it were yesterday, you wouldn't even be able to catch the tail end of the line.

Soon, it will be our turn to enter the store in a little over two hours. Don't be fooled by the long queue; there's an unwritten rule that each person can only stay at the store entrance for ten minutes.

If you receive a free sweet and sour lemonade while waiting, you must leave immediately, even if your stay is less than ten minutes!

"Hey bro, let me tell you a little trick: don't come and queue up on weekends or holidays. They're short-staffed then and don't have time to make lemonade for free. So if you want to get some, weekdays are the most cost-effective..." The orc shared his experience at length.

The main reason is that Guan Wenyue and the other two females don't look like low-level females. They also bring so many cubs and bodyguards (Teacher He and his companions) with them when they go out. Maybe the three of them are B-level females. If he can befriend them, he won't lose out.

These words made the listener feel a little sad.

Liu Linglong frowned: "Why don't we go inside to eat? Is the price of the hot pot restaurant too high?"

I remember when they opened, Liu Yiran said that they had done research and set prices based on that research, ensuring that an average family on Dixing could afford to come and have a meal there once a month.

Could there be a mistake in the survey?

Or did Liu Yiran... pull something in there?

Thinking of this, Liu Linglong's face darkened.

The former is due to Liu Yiran's lack of ability;
The latter is due to Liu Yiran's poor character.
