Peerless Young Master

Chapter 5 Business is booming

Only two days had passed since the advent of hotpot, and the Lin's Restaurant, which had been deserted before, was now crowded again, and business was booming.

Even if the seats are full, there are still many people waiting outside, happy to do so.

Many people stretched their necks, took a deep breath of the unique spicy taste, looked intoxicated, closed their eyes, and slowly savored it.

This scene was only seen when Lin’s Restaurant first opened.

However, Li Xuan only took two days.

"Now we're saved. We just need to keep the hot pot hot and the restaurant business will recover. Then Great Uncle will have no reason to use the clan rules to talk."

Looking at so many guests, Lin Ruolin's eyes, bright as stars, revealed a peaceful smile.

The heavy burden and family responsibility can finally be lifted at this moment.

"If nothing unexpected happens, we can still hold out for ten days. After all, things are valuable because they are rare. The first group of people who have eaten them will definitely spread the word when they return.

One person leads ten, ten people lead a hundred, and the reputation of hot pot spreads quickly, and more and more people come to try it."

Li Xuan naturally knew how good hot pot was.

Otherwise, it would not be brought out at such a critical moment as a magic weapon to turn the tide.

Even though there were so many delicious foods in the past, hot pot is always a hot-selling item every winter, loved by men, women, young and old.

Not to mention that in this era of food scarcity, once these people have tasted the unrestrained and passionate flavor of hot pot, this flavor will be deeply imprinted on their taste buds.

Especially now that the weather is getting cooler, it is a good time to eat hot pot.

After eating it once, you will want to eat it again. After eating it a second time, you will want to eat it a third time. You rarely get tired of it.

"Miss, son-in-law, there are so many customers that we can't handle it all. How about you two lend a hand?" At this time, Shopkeeper Wang came over with a bitter face.

It's a good thing that the business is good, but there are too few servants to serve him. He is exhausted.

"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Wang. We will go and help you right away."

Soon, the two joined in.

Collecting the dishes and wiping the table were simple tasks for Li Xuan. In no time, he cleaned the messy table and was ready to welcome the next batch of guests.

Lin Ruolin saw this scene. Seeing such skillful movements, she couldn't help but take a second look, and then served the dishes to the guests one by one.

"Finally finished, I'm exhausted"

"My whole body aches. If this happens a few more times, my old arms and legs won't be able to take it anymore."

It took a full hour, with more than sixty tables and only six people working. You can imagine how heavy the task was.

Even Li Xuan was rubbing his neck and stretching his arms at this moment. He hadn't done hard labor for a long time.

"There are a lot of guests today. Why don't you sit down and take a rest?" Li Xuan looked at Lin Ruolin, who looked a little tired.

"good"

Lin Ruolin nodded, then said to everyone: "Thank you for your hard work today. I didn't expect business to be so good. The money will double this month."

"Thank you, Miss. Thank you, Miss."

Hearing this, the servants hurriedly expressed their gratitude. All their fatigue disappeared at this moment and they were full of energy.

After noon, the restaurant became deserted and there were basically no people.

After cleaning the tables, chairs and the floor, the servants went to the backyard to rest.

The two of them went to the second floor, and Uncle Wang was settling the accounts downstairs.

Lin Ruolin sat on a chair, leaning against the back, frowning slightly, looking tired, rubbing her slender wrists. The high-intensity work made her arms very sore.

Li Xuan walked in holding a teacup and looked at his wife who was physically and mentally exhausted with her eyes slightly narrowed.

As a lady from a wealthy family, she is usually busy handling business and looking at account books, which requires her to use her brain, and she rarely does this kind of high-intensity physical work.

Although nothing seems to be wrong on the surface, my body has actually been unable to bear it for a long time.

Putting down the teacup, Li Xuan came behind his wife, put his hands on her shoulders and began to massage gently.

This action scared Lin Ruolin, and she quickly opened her eyes and sat up straight, without feeling sleepy at all.

Only when he saw it was Li Xuan did he relax.

"If you're too tired, don't force yourself. You're our backbone. I've learned massage from the elders in the village. Close your eyes and I'll massage you. You'll get better soon."

Li Xuan's fingering was gentle and powerful, moving slowly and rhythmically along Lin Ruolin's tense shoulders and neck, dispelling her accumulated fatigue bit by bit.

Lightly pressing the acupoints, each press was just right, making Lin Ruolin hum involuntarily, which was a long-lost relaxation and comfort.

The tense body and the words of refusal all disappeared at this moment.

Closing her eyes, she gently leaned her head back, enjoying Li Xuan's massage.

"Haha, Miss, do you know how much we have earned in the past two days?"

Suddenly, a hearty laugh was heard, and then Uncle Wang strode in with the account book.

When he saw this scene, his smile suddenly became stiff.

This shout woke up Lin Ruolin, who was almost asleep. Looking at Wang Bo's dazed look, she was stunned for a moment.

Then he remembered, shook his shoulders, and signaled Li Xuan to let go.

"I... I suddenly remembered that I still have something to deal with." Uncle Wang was about to leave, looking annoyed. It was really embarrassing.

"Uncle Wang" Lin Ruolin's long eyelashes gently clicked, her cheeks instantly flushed, and she asked: "How much did you earn?"

"Miss, we've had a total of 221 tables of guests over the past two days. Each table cost about half a tael of silver. Including the drinks, side dishes, and soup, the total is 132 taels and 6 cents."

"so much"

Lin Ruolin raised her eyebrows, stretched out her hand, took the account book and looked at it carefully, fearing that she had missed something. She calculated it in her mind three times before she was sure that there was no problem.

“Aside from the cost, we made over sixty taels this time, which is more profitable than when the restaurant business was good;

This is just two days. If it were ten days or a month, wouldn’t it be hundreds of taels of silver?”

She was a little surprised. She knew that hot pot was unique and very attractive to people, but she didn't expect it to be so profitable, even more than when the old masters were still there.

If this can continue, the restaurant will soon achieve greater success.

Great Uncle couldn't find any reason to make things difficult for them.

"Yes, I didn't expect the business to be so good. Thanks to my son-in-law for coming up with such a good idea," said Uncle Wang.

"Uncle Wang, go ahead and do your work. I have something to say to Li Xuan."

"it is good"

Uncle Wang took the account book and left.

"Thank you. If it weren't for you, the restaurant business wouldn't be so good." Lin Ruolin knew that all this was due to the other party.

"We are husband and wife, no need to thank me"

We are husband and wife.

These words kept echoing in Lin Ruolin's ears. Thinking of what Li Xuan said to her that day, she felt a surge of complicated emotions in her heart.

This made her not know how to face it or how to look it in the face, and the atmosphere became silent again.

"It's past dinner time now, and there won't be many people around for the next few hours, so just leave this place to them. I'm a little tired, so why don't we go back and rest together."

"it is good"

Lin Ruolin was also a little tired. She had just fallen asleep with great difficulty, but was disturbed by Uncle Wang. Her mental state was still a little poor.

On the other hand, upon learning that the Lin's Restaurant's business had suddenly become popular, Lin Haitao was horrified and hurriedly yelled in the house, with no manners at all:

"Grandpa, something bad has happened."
