“Wow!” Lu Yuxi placed a spoon into the ginger milk. It looked like jelly, but it also had the soft and smooth texture of steamed egg. She said in surprise, “It’s so amazing.”

“It’s just a chemical reaction.”

Xu Le took out a glass that was used for hot drinks and poured out three cups of ginger cola, saying, “You and Tiantian drink this, the ginger will make you guys sweat, hopefully your flu doesn’t get worse tomorrow.”

Lu Yuxi was used to being alone. Her relationship with her stepfather was like that of a stranger, and she quarreled whenever she met with her sister. They did not get along very well, so whenever she had a cold or fever, she had to endure it alone. She hardly even go to the doctor.

She was caught off guard by his concern and felt a lump in her throat. “Xu Le, you’re so good to me.”

“Don’t think you can escape work just because you’re sick.”

Lu Yuxi’s sadness was shattered by his words. She was speechless and complained, “You’re such a thoughtless man at such a young age. You definitely won’t get a wife when you grows up.”

Xu Tian was watching television in the living room with a doll in her arms. Her eyelids were starting to feel heavy. When she saw the cola in her brother’s hand, she immediately perked up and reached out to take it.

She sniffed it in the air and frowned. “Brother, what’s inside?”

“Fresh ginger. Why? Don’t you like the smell?”

“…Yeah.”

Xu Tian had always been a picky eater, and there were plenty of food that she didn’t like to eat. She held the cup in her hands, looked up, and stammered, “Brother, I want to drink coke without ginger.”

Lu Yuxi interrupted, “Try it first. The ginger tastes really good. It’s not spicy at all. The drink is still sweet.”

Everyone had different preferences. Lu Yuxi was especially fond of ginger. She finished the ginger milk in a few mouthfuls, leaned back in satisfaction, and took a small sip of the hot cola.

Seeing that she was drinking so well, Xu Tian also lowered her head and drank obediently.

The ginger had a strong taste, but it was almost tasteless after entering her mouth. It didn’t affect the original taste of the cola and milk, so Xu Tian barely finished it.

After washing up, it was already 11 pm. Thinking that Xu Tian had to go to school the next day and Xu Le had to open for business, he immediately carried her to bed and turned off the lights.

In the darkness.

Xu Tian pouted and threw a tantrum. “Brother, you haven’t read me a story tonight!”

“Aren’t you tired?”

“I want to hear a story!”

“I’ll make it up to you tomorrow night.” Xu Le was helping his younger sister to cover up her blanket tightly. He patiently coaxed her. “Go to sleep quickly. You still have to go to kindergarten tomorrow morning. You’ve gotten a very good ranking during the charity sale today. When you go to school, the teacher will definitely praise you!”

Xu Tian closed her eyes happily. “Yes!”

“Oh yeah…” Xu Le suddenly thought of something and emphasized,” Don’t get too close to your class monitor. “

He didn’t get a response for a long time. When he turned his head, he found that she was breathing steadily. It was obvious that she had fallen asleep. In the darkness, Xu Le laughed and said, “You’re still so naughty despite being so tired.”

Perhaps due to the effects of the ginger drink, when Lu Yuxi was tying Xu Tian’s hair with a toothbrush in her mouth after waking up the next day, the two of them did not cough or sneeze again.

After sending Xu Tian to school, the two of them immediately headed to the store. A long queue had already formed at the entrance.

Someone saw Xu Le and greeted, “Hey, little kid, I especially came to your shop today.”

Xu Le turned around and smiled politely.

He heard the man brag excitedly, “His sister is in the same school as my son. The food he makes is delicious!”

Someone at the side replied helplessly, “If it’s not delicious, why would we be queuing here?”

All the ingredients had been delivered, and the delivery man said, “Our boss brought in a new batch of pork trotters today and the meat quality is very good. Since you sell Pork Flatbread here, you definitely need to braise some in the pot, so he asked me to give you more today.”

The young man looked at the people entering the restaurant. It was a restaurant that was more than 100 square meters, and it was immediately filled with people. He said, “In any case, based on your customer flow, you will definitely be able to sell all of them.”

“Sure.”

Lu Yuxi, who had changed into her work clothes, rushed out from behind the counter and said, “You have to let me know in advance next time! You can’t just stuff things into our pockets. If we lack any ingredients, I’ll definitely get them from your boss.”

The young man could tell that she was a difficult person to talk to and immediately smiled apologetically. “Alright, I got it.”

After they left, Lu Yuxi said, “Don’t be fooled by them. This time, the things they casually stuffed us with were good quality. You look like a child who’s easy to talk to. But if the ingredients they deliver aren’t good quality and we refuse to pay up, it will be a hassle.”

“Okay, got it.”

On the menu were the most popular dishes since the opening of the restaurant: Mapo tofu, Kung Pao Chicken, Pork Flatbread, Tomato Egg Soup…

Xu Le looked at the ingredients and said, “Let’s add a new dish today.”

“What dish?”

“Braised pork trotters, limited to 20 servings.”

“Alright, what’s the price?”

Xu Le pondered for a moment. “69.”

“No way!” Lu Yuxi took the data from the order machine and said, “Such a big pig trotter costs almost 40 yuan. You don’t have to pay for the water and electricity, but you still have to pay for the labor. Oh right, I’m collecting money and cleaning this month. You have to pay me two salaries.”

“Good lord, are you taking advantage of the situation?”

“Anyway, what I’m saying is that this price doesn’t work.”

“Add 20 yuan.”

“That’s more like it.”

Lu Yuxi quickly added “braised pig trotters” to the day’s menu.

Soon, the order numbers started appearing on the screen.

Xu Le was immersed in his work that day. When he cut the meat and vegetables, the sound of the knife hitting the chopping board was very rhythmic. It was enough to show the skilfulness in his cutting skills.

In the big steel pot beside him, there was braised sauce and a meat bag that had been stir-fried. The meat was being stewed inside.

“Here’s the first order for braised pork trotter today.” After Lu Yuxi finished speaking, she quietly leaned closer and whispered, “I saw a blogger. He looks fat, and he should be very knowledgeable. He ordered all the dishes in the restaurant. Later, he will definitely give his review on the camera.”

When Xu Le participated in the competition, he had witnessed all sorts of storms. He only nodded and said, “Oh, since they’re here, they’re all customers, we’ll treat everyone equally.”

“He might want to enter the kitchen later to interview you.”

It was rare for Xu Le to raise his head while cooking. He said faintly, “Sure, but I’ll only be free when it’s two or three in the afternoon.”

On the table in the “Eight-year-old cafeteria” was a man with a lot of equipment. His black hair was curly, he had three or four layers of chin, and a big belly. If he sat down, he wouldn’t be able to stand up without supporting himself on the table.

He said to the camera, “The signboard of the Eight-year-old cafeteria is right at the door. As everyone can see, this restaurant is very unique. The head chef is an eight-year-old kid.”

When he said the last sentence, he couldn’t help but laugh and said, “I don’t believe that an eight-year-old can make anything good..”
