Some customers couldn't tell whether Sheng Jiu or Ares was the boss.
Anyway, the person standing at the bar collecting money is either the boss or a relative of the boss, so calling him the boss is always the right thing to do.
When he heard a diner ask him a question, Ares pointed to the menu: "Crab Meat Soup."
After hearing this, the diner turned his head and glanced at it.
Goodness!
A bit pricey!
And just a small bowl.
But seeing Ares drinking it with such relish, he couldn't resist the temptation.
How about…
Order a bowl?
Especially for those who ordered fried rice, even with the winter melon soup, but the Crab Meat Soup seemed more tempting?
Some people couldn't resist and tried ordering it.
Some people thought it was expensive.
A bowl of soup, it doesn't really do much, why so much money?
They could also drink the winter melon soup.
And it was very delicious and refreshing!
The Crab Meat Soup was ready-made, and there was only one pot, once it was sold out, that was it.
There was still quite a bit left.
Ares quickly served a bowl and brought it over.
Upon tasting it, experiencing the smoothness of the tofu, the rich aroma of the eggs, and the freshness of the crab meat, the diner felt…
This bite was worth it!
Crab Fried Rice is not the limit.
This soup was!
The rich, fresh, and fragrant taste made him feel, for a moment, as if he was in the ocean, breathing in the ocean air, and being gently caressed and patted by the waves.
"This feeling is truly wonderful!" the diner exclaimed to his companion.
His companion, tempted by the way he ate, couldn't resist and grabbed another spoon, scooping up a spoonful to try it.
That one bite…
His eyebrows are falling out from all that freshness!
The flavor is clearly just light and refreshing, so why does it taste so delicious when he drinks it?
His companion couldn't resist ordering, but when he touched the food that was almost blocking his neck, he silently put the thought aside.
Never mind.
He couldn't eat today.
He absolutely has to come back and try it tomorrow!
New customers keep coming in, and those who have eaten there know the restaurant isn't very big, so even though they crave the delicious food, they all consciously get up and leave after they finish.
This little shop isn't just open for one day!
They'll come back tomorrow if they want to eat.
Today, their stomachs can't hold all that!
Soon, two new customers entered the shop.
A man and a woman, their eyes darting left and right, as if inspecting the cleanliness of the shop.
Ares had seen quite a few picky diners like this that evening.
Ares was quite confident in the cleanliness he had personally maintained.
After inspecting the shop, the two customers seemed satisfied and nodded, then went to the counter to order.
Ares introduced the shop's specialties for the day while gesturing for them to look at the menu.
The two diners glanced at the menu and were surprised to find that a bowl of millet porridge cost 298 yuan!
So expensive?
And it was the last bowl left?
After reading the menu, the two exchanged a glance, seemingly struck by a thought.
Then, the girl spoke up: "A bowl of ginseng millet porridge, please."
The man, smelling the aroma, thought for a moment and said, "I'd like a serving of Crab Roe Noodles."
After they finished ordering, the two of them found a seat and sat down.
Sheng Jiu acted quickly, there was only one bowl of millet porridge left, and Ares served it to the table first.
A short while later, the noodles were ready too.
The fresh and fragrant aroma once again filled the entire restaurant.
A group of diners at a table had just finished eating, and even now, smelling the aroma, they couldn't help but exclaim in delight, "This smells so good!"
"And the crab roe is so generous!"
"What are you talking about? And it's all crab roe and crab meat, absolutely no adulteration, unlike some shops that use pumpkin puree to adjust the consistency."
"Using pumpkin puree for flavor, I don't object, but you have to separate the price of the pumpkin from the price of the crab roe."
"Especially Restaurant Xing Yuan over there. Last time I ordered Crab Roe Noodles, damn it, it was like searching for crab roe in pumpkin puree, and you might not even find it."
"Hehe, I've had it too. I suspect they use some kind of technology, the crab roe just didn't taste right."
...
The two whispered among themselves.
The two new diners who were sitting nearby looked up and exchanged a glance after hearing this, their brows furrowing slightly with impatience.
Ares noticed, and although he was puzzled, but he didn't look at them too much, lest the diners feel that he was staring at them and that it was impolite.
Soon, the fragrant and delicious Crab Roe Noodles were served.
As Ares turned around, he tidied up the table of guests who had just left.
The new diners were shocked to see Ares spray the grease cleaner twice, then spray alcohol, and then carefully wipe it with water.
This…
Wipe it so many times?
The two exchanged another glance, then silently lowered their heads.
At that moment, there were three other tables of guests in the restaurant, including them.
After tidying up, Ares even washed his hands before returning.
He had just stood behind the counter when he saw the women at the new customers' table stand up: "Boss, there's hair in your noodles!"
Ares: ?
Ares was puzzled and stepped forward to take a look.
There was indeed a hair in the noodles, and it was a long hair.
Looking at the hair, Ares felt it didn't seem like Sheng Jiu's hair.
Although Sheng Jiu had long hair, but she always tied it up neatly when cooking and covered it completely with a chef's hat.
Not only her, Ares also always wore a chef's hat and covered his hair to avoid contaminating the food.
The woman spoke in a rather loud voice, and the guests at the other two tables instinctively looked up.
One table of diners even secretly raised their phones, seemingly taking pictures.
Ares had never encountered anything like this before, and he instinctively looked up towards the kitchen.
There were no new customers in the restaurant at the moment, so Sheng Jiu was free.
She peeked out and met Ares's pleading gaze, then quickly came out and asked, "Is there something you need?"
Seeing Sheng Jiu come out of the kitchen, the woman first looked her up and down.
That look... how to describe it?
It was like looking at pork on a cutting board, making one feel physically uncomfortable.
After scrutinizing Sheng Jiu, the woman said loudly, "Boss, there's hair in your noodles. Are there other hygiene issues as well?"
Despite her discomfort, Sheng Jiu smiled and said, "I'm sorry for the unpleasant dining experience. However, the hygiene of the restaurant is definitely guaranteed. Inspections were just conducted a few days ago, and..."
At this point, Sheng Jiu pointed to the surveillance cameras in several corners: "There are surveillance cameras in the restaurant, from the front desk to the kitchen, except for the private area on the second floor and the restrooms. There are no blind spots. If customers have any questions, we can check the surveillance footage."
After saying this, Sheng Jiu nodded, then went to the counter and flipped the monitor that managed the surveillance cameras, turning it towards the diners.
Then she rewound the timeline, starting from when the new diners entered the restaurant.
New Diner: ?
No?
Who's the kind person who puts surveillance cameras in the kitchen?
