Chapter 54: Chapter 54 Coming to Find

Tong Ya and Tuan Tuan had already taken their baths and were sitting on the sofa watching TV.

But Chen Yu suddenly realized that the two of them were actually wearing matching parent-child pajamas.

And in the bathroom, the pajamas prepared for him were also part of the set.

Chen Yu suddenly felt hesitant; he found that his relationship with Tong Ya had been progressing much too quickly these past few days.

Although he hadn't yet accepted Tong Ya's confession, now they were indeed living together like a family of three.

After adjusting his breathing slightly, Chen Yu let out a sigh and put on the pajamas anyway.

His previous pajamas had long since become worn out, and it seemed that Tong Ya had disposed of them.

When Chen Yu emerged from the bathroom in his pajamas, Tong Ya's heart raced.

Pajamas are quite intimate by nature, and Tong Ya's gesture was a way of testing Chen Yu's boundaries.

"Get to sleep early,"

Chen Yu said just three words before he returned to his room.

Tong Ya' s heart, which had been hanging, finally relaxed, and she bumped fists with Tuan Tuan.

"Teacher Tong Ya, pajama operation successful, you've moved one step closer to being my mom," Tuan Tuan said.

Tong Ya pinched Tuan Tuan's little nose: "I didn't expect you to be so clever!"

At four in the morning, Chen Yu got up early and went down to the first-floor kitchen to process pig heads and hocks.

He also turned on the dough mixer.

When the six girls arrived, Chen Yu helped them take the first batch of dough that had been mixed to the second-floor kitchen.

He also prepared the spices needed for the vegetable buns.

According to yesterday's arrangement, Li Yu and Su Qing would stay in the second-floor kitchen, selling fried cakes and vegetable buns.

Zhao Meng and Han Cai would take turns being responsible for the cleanliness of the two floors' dining areas.

Chu Hong and Zhang Qian would stay with Chen Yu in the first-floor kitchen, specializing in marinated delicacies.

With the new system in place, cash transactions had been completely eliminated, so there was no longer any need for a bar counter.

At four-thirty, a few customers had already begun to trickle in.

At this time, most people were there for breakfast, so they usually went straight to the second floor.

It wasn't until six o'clock that customers gradually started to appear on the first floor.

"Old Chen, quickly give me a jin of your first pot of stewed meat!"

Zhang Fan rushed into the shop with a basin, full of urgency.

Chen Yu was somewhat helpless: "Eating stewed meat so early in the morning?"

"It's delicious!" Zhang Fan directly placed the basin in front of the display window while scanning the payment code on top of it.

A few payment codes were still kept beside the window for some of the regulars who would scan them directly to pay.

These payment codes also served as a backup, for no one could guarantee that the system wouldn't have an issue someday.

By eight in the morning, the shop was in its usual state of being jam-packed with people.

However, today things were much more organized than yesterday.

Chen Yu even had time to take a break.

Suzhou City Di Hao Hotel.

An old man with white hair and beard sat sternly by the bed, leaning on a cane.

In front of him were a whole bunch of flashy but insubstantial dishes.

"Old Tong, this is the best we could find in this small place, please make do with it," someone said.

The old man's expression darkened: "Can't you find something with more substance? Always bringing me these fancy but useless things to fool me."

Just as the old man was about to blow up, a bodyguard rushed into the room hurriedly, placing down a basin of marinated meat and two pancakes.

The assistant next to the old man frowned: "What is this you've brought! Take it..."

The assistant was momentarily stunned before he could finish speaking, as the aroma emanating from the braised meat invigorated his spirit.

The elder's eyes also lit up as he picked up a pair of chopsticks and took a small bite.

"Mmm, delicious!"

No sooner had he praised it than his expression darkened again.

"Did you bring the braised meat from Imperial Capital's Duanfuji over here?"

The bodyguard who had just entered kept waving his hands, "It was bought from nearby; that shop sells deep-fried cakes, vegetable pastries, and braised meat, and doesn't even have a sign, but it's very popular."

The old man paused, then picked up another piece of the braised meat to savor carefully.

"There is indeed some difference from Duanfuji's!"

As his words finished, the old man began to eat with relish, eventually soaking the flatbread in the braised meat and shoveling it into his mouth.

"This is delicious! Now this is more like it! Where is this shop? Take me there now."

The bodyguard didn't dare delay and hurriedly led the old man downstairs.

By noon, the shop was already somewhat overcrowded.

After changing the sales structure, the flow of customers had indeed increased quite a bit.

Especially at this time, the flatbread, noodles, and braised meat were in great demand.

Just then, Tang Xiaowei was leaning against the shop's entrance, basking in the sun while drawing comics.

But as she searched for the right contrast in her lines, she suddenly noticed a procession of luxury cars approaching from afar.

When she recognized the license plates, her face was filled with shock.

"Oh my goodness, they've found me."

Tang Xiaowei muttered to herself then hastily ran into the shop and dragged Tong Ya out of the kitchen.

"Trouble's here, your dad has come looking!"

Tong Ya's eyes widened instantly: "No way? How did he know I'm here?"

"I have no idea, he's just outside now, you'd better come up with a plan quick!"

Tong Ya tried to remain calm, "It's not necessarily for us, let's hide upstairs for now."

Tang Xiaowei nodded and went upstairs with Tong Ya.

At that moment, the cavalcade had already stopped at the entrance of the shop, and the old man, surrounded by a horde of bodyguards, made a grand entrance into the shop.

The shop, which had been bustling just moments ago, suddenly fell silent, all eyes on the old man.

These people had never seen someone of his level before.

Chen Yu simply looked up for a moment, then continued to focus on his braised meat.

"Where's the boss?" the old man called out authoritatively.

Chen Yu responded from behind the counter without much fuss, "Right here, what can I do for you?"

The old man coughed lightly, "Give me some of your specialties..."

"To order, please queue up over there!" Chen Yu cut him off directly.

"You want me to queue? Do you know who I am?" The old man was slightly annoyed.

"No matter who you are, everyone who eats here is a customer, and they all need to queue. That's my rule."

Chen Yu's respectful yet firm stance piqued the old man's interest.

The two bodyguards next to him were getting annoyed at Chen Yu's attitude and were about to step forward to teach him a lesson but were stopped by the old man.

"This young man has character, and he has his rules. Reminds me of myself when I was young. Go queue up!" S~eaʀᴄh the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Saying this, the old man picked up a chair from the side and sat down.

The bodyguards beside him were somewhat impatient and went to join the queue.

At this moment, Tong Ya and Tang Xiaowei were peeking sneakily through the gaps in the railing on the third floor.
