Transmigrated into the body of a villain, I became my sister's savior.

Business was even busier at noon today than yesterday. The restaurant was packed, and for the first time ever, a queue had formed outside.

Looks like we won't have to worry about table turnover today.

The boss's wife has an undeniable charm as a mature woman.

The diners would order the most expensive dishes just to chat with the proprietress and catch a glimpse of her impressive cleavage.

Anyway, in these small shops, even if you order a whole table of dishes, it won't cost much in total.

As a result, the shrimp and beef crispy tofu roll became a popular dish on the menu that was reprinted on A4 colored paper.

One table ordered, and another table followed suit, resulting in five or six dishes being ordered in no time.

This dish is time-consuming and laborious to make, and Lin Jianshen has no cooks to help him prepare the ingredients, so he has to do it all by himself.

Efficiency was instantly slowed down.

However, with two chefs in such a small shop, the efficiency is still quite good.

But for some reason, Lao Wu was being somewhat uncooperative today, always appearing unhurried and unhurried.

The customers, seeing that the food was taking so long to arrive and the proprietress was no longer serving them, gradually grew angry as they urged for the food to be served.

There were two male waiters in the restaurant, who hadn't received any training. Seeing that the customers were in a hurry, they served rice first.

There are many taboos in the catering industry.

In some places, if rice is served before the main dishes, it is a veiled insult implying that the guests are "eating rice for free."

If you are a guest at someone's home and the host does this, it means they look down on you and are urging you to leave.

Unfortunately, one of the tables of guests today happens to be particular about this.

The guests at that table immediately retorted angrily, "We came here to eat, and they didn't even give us peanuts! We haven't finished our drinks, and they've already brought us rice! Is there no manners?"

The store's business had never been very good before, and the waiters had never experienced anything like this before.

They lacked service awareness, were somewhat embarrassed, argued with the customer briefly, and then went into the kitchen to urge the customer to finish their order.

Qi Xiumei quickly pulled down the thin fabric of her dress, revealing more of her curves, and stepped forward to apologize and comfort her.

Then he went into the kitchen to urge the food to be cooked.

In the kitchen, no matter how anxious they were, Lao Wu continued cooking at his own pace, with a cigarette dangling from his lips.

Lin Jianshen was busy preparing the newly launched signature dish.

Kneading shrimp paste and rolling crispy tofu rolls, I had no free hands to do anything else.

Qi Xiumei was extremely anxious.

There are only five tables and more than twenty dishes, and it's been half a day and not a single dish has been served.

Qi Xiumei frowned: "This won't do. The customers outside are making a huge fuss; we can't do business anymore."

"Xiaolin, don't make this dish, it takes too much time. Make the other dishes first."

"I'll go explain to the customer and offer them some drinks."

Just then, customers outside started yelling, "What's wrong with your chef?"

"If you don't want to work here, then get out of here. There are plenty of people who can do it. Don't keep us from eating."

Old Wu was furious. He grabbed a cleaver, lifted the curtain at the back of the kitchen, and stormed out, yelling, "Where did this brat come from with such a foul mouth?"

A burly, dark-skinned man turned his head and stared at him coldly.

Old Wu was a seasoned veteran. He could tell this man was not to be trifled with, so he immediately said, "It is true that I was too slow. I will speed things up right away."

As he entered the kitchen, he muttered, "A wise man submits to circumstances. Kid, learn from this."

Yesterday, Lao Wu used two of the four-burner stoves in the kitchen, but today he only used one.

Lin Jianshen abandoned the newly served signature dish and turned on the stove next to him, operating two pots at the same time by himself.

He had a renowned teacher to guide him and had worked hard, so he was able to fully demonstrate his skills.

The movements were performed with fluid grace.

Qi Xiumei was completely dumbfounded.

Two dishes were quickly cooked and divided into four plates.

Song Qing came in and urged, "Boss lady, the customers are urging us again."

The proprietress hung up the curtain, carried the dishes out on a tray, and said, "The dishes are here."

She placed two dishes on the table next to her, and then placed two more on the table of the burly man.

The burly man slapped Qi Xiumei on the buttocks without any expression.

Everyone is enjoying the spectacle, but no one dares to actually touch it.

Qi Xiumei exclaimed in surprise, then smiled and asked, "Big brother, what are you doing?"

The burly man said, "Call me Brother Qing."

"Stop busy, sit down and have a drink with me."

The assistant next to him immediately pulled one out from the stack of spare red plastic stools on the side of the aisle.

He slapped it onto the empty seat next to Brother Qing, gesturing for Qi Xiumei to sit down.

Qi Xiumei hesitated for two seconds, then smiled and said, "Brother Qing, I still have so many dishes that haven't been served yet. Can you let me serve them?"

The waiter next to him said, "Don't you have waiters? They don't have hands, can't they serve the food?"

"Is it still not enough for Brother Qing to speak?"

A nearby customer couldn't stand it anymore; the proprietress had recently been unintentionally filmed and had become a viral sensation on short video platforms.

He felt that watching it on his phone wasn't enough, so he invited a few friends to come and see it together.

I only dare to steal a few glances, but this guy not only made a move on me, but also made me sit down and drink with him.

He was about to stand up when his friend stopped him.

My friend shook his head: "Don't move! I recognize the guy in the black T-shirt next to me; he's one of Brother Hao's gangsters!"

"Is that Brother Hao?"

"It's Sun Hao."

Upon hearing Sun Hao's name, the diner slowly sat down again.

Hao Ge used to be just an ordinary loan shark.

They picked up scraps that the Bai family didn't want.

Later, the head of the Bai family reportedly joined some kind of alliance, which involved illegal monopolies and even drove someone to their death, resulting in his imprisonment.

Bai Xiaoyue, the only daughter of the Bai family, was struggling to manage the business, and a large portion of the business fell into Sun Hao's hands.

This guy really soared to great heights.

In recent years, Sun Hao has somehow connected with someone else and ventured into other shady businesses, expanding his operations even further.

Their strength should not be underestimated.

Since this person is Sun Hao's subordinate, we really can't afford to offend him.

Qi Xiumei could also tell that the person in front of her was not someone to be trifled with, leaving her in a dilemma.

Qing Ge gripped his cup, looking like he had reached his limit: "Boss lady, we waited half an hour before the first dish was served."

"My time is very valuable, and I don't know how much I'll lose in this half hour."

"It's not too much to ask you to have just one drink, is it?"

Qi Xiumei's heart sank. She knew that this was definitely not as simple as having a drink.

Once this precedent is set, the other party will only take advantage of it.

Sure enough, before anything could happen, one of the underlings said, "Your receptionist is quite pretty. Have a drink with me, and like Brother Qing, I won't hold it against you."

Lin Jianshen put down the spatula and prepared to help.

Old Wu stopped him and said in a low voice, "Don't go."

Lin Jianshen said, "The landlady took me in, and Song Qing treated me to a Coke yesterday, so I should go."

Old Wu laughed: "A bottle of Coke, is it really that big of a deal? Do you even know who's outside?"

Lin Jianshen said, "As for it."

"I'm going simply because I should, it has nothing to do with who's outside."

He strode out.

Old Wu sighed, "It's so good to be young."
