Bound to the Multiverse Restaurant, I'm now the darling of my staff.

Wen Nuan walked into the kitchen, but strangely, she didn't start cooking. Instead, she went to the counter and tapped on an electronic screen.

Soon, a steaming plate of fried rice appeared on the previously empty stove, followed by a plate of Mapo Tofu, and finally a pot of plum juice. The whole process took less than a minute.

"Alright, all done!"

She placed the food on a tray and walked out with warm, light steps.

"Excuse me, your dishes are all served. Please enjoy your meal."

Xu Anqing glanced at the message she had only sent halfway through on her phone, and then checked the time.

"Is it going to be fine so soon?"

His tone was filled with disbelief and doubt.

"Boss, you don't serve pre-made meals here, do you?"

She couldn't think of any other explanation besides this; it couldn't possibly be made that quickly on the spot.

It smells quite delicious, but she hates pre-cooked food the most. Not only is it not fresh, but it's also unhealthy if you eat too much of it.

This place is definitely a rip-off. They charge such high prices, yet they just offer these pre-made dishes to fob off customers. Do they think they're all fools who will be taken advantage of?

At this moment, Xu Anqing was thinking that when she got back, she would definitely expose this store extensively. This kind of shady store should be shut down as soon as possible!

Wen Nuan smiled as she held the tray, "You two will know once you try it."

"Hmph, these are obviously pre-made dishes, how good can they possibly taste..."

After angrily scooping a spoonful of Mapo Tofu into her mouth, Xu Anqing was immediately speechless.

The smoothness of the tofu and the savory aroma of the minced meat blend perfectly, melting in your mouth. Combined with the perfect spicy sauce, it's like a beautiful symphony playing in your mouth.

Without realizing it, Xu Anqing scooped up another spoonful. She thought to herself that she could eat three large bowls of rice with just this plate of Mapo Tofu, no exaggeration!

"I wonder if you two are satisfied with this Mapo Tofu?"

A warm smile played on her lips, her eyes crinkling.

She had already tasted the food produced by the system on the very first day of the business.

Although she didn't know where the system's raw materials came from, she was confident in their source.

Once you've tried it, you'll never forget it, and you'll never be able to describe it as unpalatable.

Xu Anqing then came to her senses and looked at the dishes in front of her; almost half of the plate was gone.

As for her boyfriend, he was practically shoving his face into the plate right now.

Her face flushed slightly, and Xu Anqing coughed with feigned modesty, "It's alright... so-so..."

After saying that, she felt a pang of guilt. How could she dare to say that such delicious food was just so-so?

Xu Anqing wondered if she was getting a little too cocky...

"As long as it suits your taste." Warm and considerate, she didn't expose her, and pointed to the fried rice on the table.

"Our golden fried rice is also exceptional, highly recommended, it's definitely better than Mapo Tofu."

The golden eggs and rice intertwined, gleaming with an enticing sheen.

It's just fried rice with eggs, right? I don't believe it can be that delicious.

Xu Anqing cautiously refrained from speaking rashly, only silently grumbling to herself.

Xu Anqing ate a small bowl of fried rice with eggs, taking a bite without much thought.

"Well……"

Every grain of rice is coated in egg, resulting in a soft and sticky texture. It's just a simple fried rice dish, yet it's so delicious that you can't help but be captivated by it.

"This, this is so delicious!"

As soon as she spoke, Xu Anqing realized her mistake, covered her mouth, and looked annoyed.

With a warm and confident smile, she knew it.

"It is our greatest honor to satisfy you."

Seeing the girl's face slowly turn red, Wen Nuan wisely decided not to linger any longer. Instead, she greeted them and sat down behind the counter by the door.

While seemingly busy with other things, he was actually listening intently to what was happening over there.

Xu Anqing patted her mouth twice, looked up at her boyfriend who was engrossed in eating, and kicked the table in dissatisfaction.

"You just know how to eat!"

The innocent boyfriend, who had been hit, glanced at his sullen girlfriend and said helplessly.

"I never said it was delicious, you said it yourself."

That means it's none of his business, so don't try to pin the blame on him.

Xu Anqing rolled her eyes at her boyfriend, feeling somewhat deflated.

No wonder she couldn't resist, because it was just so delicious.

She dared to say that this simple meal was better than the food at those three-Michelin-starred restaurants she and her best friend had queued up for before.

It's unbelievable that such delicious food could be found in such a remote mountain village.

If they hadn't accidentally taken the wrong turn, they wouldn't have been able to eat it. Thinking about it that way, wouldn't you consider it an unexpected bonus?

Xu Anqing thought to herself with amusement, but when she came to her senses, the food on the table was almost gone, and her smile froze on her lips.

"Are you a pig? You ate it all by yourself?"

She slapped her boyfriend's hand as he tried to pick up more food, and quickly moved the food to her side.

"You're not allowed to eat any more, the rest are mine!"

She had only been distracted for a moment, and he was almost done with it. Xu Anqing glared at her boyfriend, then, having no time to think about anything else, she quickly got to eat.

The boyfriend chuckled twice, patted his half-full stomach, picked up the plum juice next to him, and poured himself a bowl.

If he won't eat, this will do, even if he doesn't like sweet and sour things...

Take a sip, then another sip, and down it all in one go!

The boy's eyes lit up as he looked at the plum juice. This stuff...it's got something special...

I never expected that the most unassuming one would be the most amazing!

"An'an, you should try this plum juice."

Xu Anqing, engrossed in enjoying her food, ignored him.

"What's so good about plum juice? It's not even half as good as milk tea. I don't want it."

"Hey, just take a sip, or you'll regret it later."

Regret again. This was the last thing Xu Anqing could hear right now, so she immediately picked up her glass and downed it in one gulp.

She wanted to see what kind of magical plum juice had made her boyfriend react this way.

So mysterious, what's so special about it...?

The boy was finally satisfied when he saw that his girlfriend's eyes were just as bright as his own.

Even he, who never likes milk tea or similar drinks, thought it tasted good, so girls who like sweet and sour flavors would definitely like it even more.

In no time, the two of them had devoured the entire pot of plum juice.

Looking at the bowls and plates on the table, now sparkling clean from the food, the young couple exchanged a glance, feeling a flush rising to their faces.

"How about..." Xu Anqing hesitated before starting, "...we order another one?"

It's so delicious, she seems a little hungry.

Just as he was waiting for her to say that, the boy quickly raised his hand and said, "Boss, another order of Mapo Tofu, a medium-sized Golden Fried Rice, and a pot of Plum Juice!"

Become!

A bright smile appeared on Wen Nuan's face as she responded loudly.

"Okay, please wait a moment, the food will be here shortly."

An hour later, Wen Nuan stood at the store entrance and waved to the two customers.

"Goodbye, both of you. Welcome back next time!"

Xu Anqing, now completely unburdened by her gluttonous belly, waved to Wen Nuan with her full stomach bulging out.

"Don't worry, boss, I'll definitely come again!"

Next time she comes, she must invite her group of girlfriends and let them taste what true culinary delights are all about!

Only when the car was reduced to a tiny black dot did Wen Nuan turn around and return to the store.

At the same time, a mechanical voice that no one else could hear echoed in his mind.

[Congratulations, host, on completing the beginner's quest "Entertain 2 guests." Reward: +7 days of health points and a beginner's gift pack. Please check your system inventory!]

Warmth immediately opened the system panel to check.

[Health Points: 8 days, 6 hours, 12 minutes]

"Oh yeah, I can survive a few more days, that's great."

The warmth of finally opening for business, the increase in health points, and the sense of hope for life all came with a sigh of relief.

[Please don't be arrogant, host. Keep up the good work, upgrade your restaurant as soon as possible, and unlock more surprises.]

"Okay, okay, don't worry, Xiao Liu, with me here, those are no big deal! Hahaha!"
