Sheng Jiu chuckled at the two elderly men's amusement. She opened the door and invited them in.
The first thing the two men did upon entering was look at the menu on the wall.
Egg And Ham Rice Bowl, limited to 10 servings?
Millet Porridge, 6 bowls. This looked normal.
Yu Xiang Shredded Pork Rice Bowl, limited to 10 servings?
Today's limit is a bit too much.
The two elderly men didn't say anything. After a brief discussion, one ordered millet porridge, and the other ordered Yu Xiang Shredded Pork Rice Bowl, trying to ensure they could try everything!
Sheng Jiu was about to go into the kitchen when she heard a knock on the upstairs gate.
Sheng Jiu: ?
It's only been a few minutes?
Did Ares fly directly to deliver the food to his teammates?
Despite her doubts, Sheng Jiu quickly went up and opened the gate for Ares.
Ares' teammates found a place close to the restaurant and temporarily set up camp for their meal.
Now, the distance between their camp and the gate of Sheng Jiu's restaurant is about 6 minutes if they are fast.
After opening the gate, Sheng Jiu explained that there were guests downstairs and hurried downstairs, disappearing into the kitchen.
Ares, meanwhile, finished washing himself in the bathroom and then came downstairs.
The two elderly men weren't unfamiliar with his face, they glanced at him and then looked away.
Grandpa Hong took a deep sniff of the sour, spicy, and slightly sweet aroma in the air and muttered to himself, "This smells so good!"
"The millet porridge smells good too. Can't you smell the aroma? Is there a hint of rice in it?"
"How could I not smell it?"
...
The two men only whispered a few words before losing focus on anything else.
Because, the marinated shredded meat was stir-fried with shredded green peppers, carrots, and wood ear mushrooms until fragrant, though the aroma wasn't yet particularly strong.
When the prepared sauce was added, the high temperature and the collision of the sour and spicy flavors instantly released a burst of aroma, which transformed into wisps of white steam that filled the air.
Grandpa Hong and Grandpa Wu instinctively turned towards the kitchen, swallowing hard as they smelled the continuous stream of delicious aromas wafting over.
The Little Boss's food…
It smells so good!
Ares followed instructions and first served the two elderly men Millet And Yam Porridge.
The sweet aroma of millet wafted faintly in the air.
Its flavor, though subtle, was lingering and gradual.
Its presence could be detected even in the smallest corners of the restaurant.
Its fragrance wasn't overpowering, yet it subtly and gradually stirred people's desire and anticipation for the delicious food.
In the kitchen, the Yu Xiang Shredded Pork Rice Bowl was already cooked.
The aroma wasn't as strong as it had been when the high temperature and ingredients collided intensely, but the aftertaste was still enticing.
Lin Qi, who had been crying with Sun Xiao Xiao at noon, found an excuse to skip work early!
This was something Lin Qi had never done before.
She has always been a diligent and meticulous person.
Sun Xiao Xiao isn't far behind!
In the end, for a bite to eat, the two of them skipped work!
If the company catches them…
Well, actually, there's not much they can do.
After all, they're both really hardworking, and their positions are quite important.
At most, they'll just lose some points on their perfect attendance record.
The two of them no longer cared.
Lin Qi didn't get to eat lunch, so she and Sun Xiao Xiao quickly ate some other things.
Then, throughout the afternoon, her stomach ached so much that she began to question the meaning of life.
Even after taking stomach medicine, it doesn't work immediately.
Once the stomach pain finally subsided, a new longing arose in Lin Qi's heart.
She thought, "I've already worked so hard, I've been neglecting my health like this, so skipping work to have a meal isn't too much to ask, is it?"
She subtly expressed her wish to Sun Xiao Xiao, but to her surprise, Sun Xiao Xiao had the same idea.
The two hit it off immediately, and then they brought along a colleague, making it three of them.
Before they even entered, they could smell that sour, spicy, and sweet aroma.
The aroma, like an invisible hand, slowly reached out to them from a short distance, as if trying to pull them into a paradise of delicious food.
Lin Qi's eyes reddened: "It's the smell! The Little Boss is already open for business!"
Lin Qi, who usually struggles to climb even the fourth floor, unleashed her full strength and charged through in one go.
Sun Xiao Xiao saw this and knew she couldn't fall behind.
Then, she braced herself, feeling lightheaded, and went too.
The one who lagged behind had a question mark slowly appearing above her head.
Their colleague in the sales department, named Wen Nuan, came under the guise of visiting clients, but she did indeed have clients she needed to follow up with.
Wen Nuan felt she had eaten a full lunch and didn't need any extra food.
If she was too fat...
She also needed to consider whether her white shirt would be appropriate.
But this smell…
Slurp!
Isn't it a bit too fragrant?
Wen Nuan wanted to leave, but her feet wouldn't obey her.
By the time she realized what was happening, she was already seated with Lin Qi and the other, her hands instinctively wiping the tableware.
Wen Nuan: ?
Wait, did I lose my memory?
I missed a huge step in between, how come I didn't feel anything?
Lin Qi's mouth was watering at the smell of Yu Xiang Shredded Pork, but her stomach was a problem!
The doctor said that if her sleep and eating habits remained irregular, her stomach would never recover.
In addition, she needs to avoid certain foods, such as spicy and stimulating foods, as well as drinks and fruits. She should eat less of these, or better yet, avoid them altogether!
Lin Qi reluctantly ordered millet porridge, trying to comfort herself that it would taste just as good.
Look at the old man at the next table, he's thoroughly enjoying his millet porridge!
Even so, when the aroma of Yu Xiang Shredded Pork wafted from the next table, Lin Qi couldn't help but swallow hard again.
Although Sun Xiao Xiao felt lightheaded, but her body was still quite strong.
So, upon arriving, she casually ordered a serving of Yu Xiang Shredded Pork Rice Bowl.
Wen Nuan stared at the menu on the wall, her pupils dilating in shock: So expensive?
However, seeing that Lin Qi and Sun Xiao Xiao accepted it well, Wen Nuan thought for a moment and also ordered a serving of Yu Xiang Shredded Pork Rice Bowl.
She wanted to try it and see just how delicious this 68 yuan rice was that the Little Boss dared to sell it for such a high price.
After the three people entered the restaurant, more customers came in.
Ares tried his best to greet them with a smile.
A mixed-race man over 1.9 meters tall, handsome with deep set eyes that look exceptionally affectionate when he gazes at people, such a person is a sight to behold wherever he stands.
Two young girls entered, drawn by the aroma.
Their eyes widened the moment they saw Ares.
Waaah!
He's such a dream guy!
With a figure like that, it's such a waste not to take his clothes off and paint.
These muscle lines, this direction, this texture... Well, they can't see the texture.
However, when they looked at his gestures, the fullness of his clothes, the lines and textures of his muscles, were definitely not bad.
The two girls exchanged a glance, unconsciously swallowing hard.
At that moment, neither of them knew whether the ready made model in front of them was more tempting, or the aroma of the food in the restaurant was more enticing.
Gulp!
