Chapter 255

The Starry Sky Restaurant requires three-layered pork belly for their braised pork dish.

Not just any cut of meat will do.

They use all the suitable meat for braised pork.

However, customers order as if money is no object.

They not only dine in but also take out when leaving.

With such frenzied ordering, the braised pork is all gone.

The sizzling beef tendon is also sold out.

Chef Chen watches the booming business and says to Liu Chef, "Are you feeling reassured now?"

This person had been so worried he couldn't sleep before.

It was all unnecessary.

Liu Chef, somewhat embarrassed, says, "Oh, I've always been confident." Men, always putting on a brave face.

He tells Jiang Xun, "Go take a break outside! I'll help you cook." It's just stir-frying, something he's used to.

Mainly because Jiang Xun is too busy.

He has a towel draped around his neck, soaked with sweat.

Hot, busy, and anxious.

This kind of pressure is a rite of passage to becoming a great chef.

He's still young, and having the guidance of seniors makes it a bit easier.

Jiang Xun then says, "I'll go out for a smoke!"

He doesn't usually smoke, but today he's just too exhausted.

He wants to have one to perk up.

He goes to an inconspicuous spot.

Everyone inside is busy.

He puts a cigarette to his lips, clicks the lighter twice, but fails to light it.

His fingers holding the cigarette are trembling.

In the end, he gives up on smoking.

Just as he's taking a break, his phone rings.

It's his former Junior Brother, who asks, "What are you doing at the Starry Sky Restaurant now?"

Although the Starry Sky Restaurant hasn't gone viral online yet,

It's highly regarded in the industry.

After all, Jiang Xun was a seed player in the culinary championship.

If he hadn't withdrawn, he could have competed for the top spots.

He gives a noncommittal "Mm."

The voice on the phone says, "Master says when you come back, all past issues will be forgiven. Master is getting old, maybe he was a bit misguided before."

Jiang Xun sighs and says, "We'll talk about the future later. I'm really busy now, so let's not discuss this."

His Junior Brother didn't expect this response: "Alright then, carry on with your work!"

Jiang Xun stays outside for about 15 minutes before returning to work.

The pig farm had been preparing large pigs for Shen Wei in advance.

They had intended to use good pigs to make a splash.

Who knew it would be so successful?

Two pigs weren't nearly enough.

Currently, they still have over 300 large pigs.

The rest are piglets.

Piglets need about a year to be ready for market.

Even this won't be enough for their consumption.

But Shen Wei said to start with three pigs a day and figure out the rest later.

As the Starry Sky Restaurant became popular,

Several other restaurants opened nearby.

On regular days, the Starry Sky Restaurant was packed.

The other restaurants stood empty.

The nearby barbers, who had become familiar with the other restaurant owners, couldn't help but ask, "Why did you open here?"

Before, not knowing was one thing, but clearly knowing there was a big restaurant here and still coming, that was their mistake.

The other restaurant owners just smiled and said, "The Starry Sky has too much traffic, even a small overflow is enough for us."

After all, some people like to explore new places, and if they can't get a table at the Starry Sky during peak hours, they might try nearby restaurants.

It's good to be in the shadow of a big tree.

Even Doctor Lu's friends came to book tables.

Doctor Lu said, "How come you're coming out for lunch during your precious break time at the hospital?"

"We're just too tempted, with such high pressure at work every day!"

Doctor Lu replied, "But I can't even book a table here!"

In fact, he could have booked one.

But the restaurant was so popular.

He didn't want to add to their troubles, so he felt embarrassed to do so.

Doctor Lu wasn't the only one with this dilemma.

Almost everyone from the kindergarten had been pestered by friends and family in this way. But they all unanimously chose to refuse.

The restaurant was too busy, with 10 to 20 tables waiting for reservations.

Under such busy circumstances, to reserve a table in advance for them

Seemed a bit unreasonable.

As the Starry Sky became popular, Shen Wei had only one concern: not enough pigs.

Buying premium piglets through the system cost 5,000 points each.

The price was simply too high.

Shen Wei negotiated with the system to see if they could issue some tasks.

She wanted to be rewarded with a larger breeding farm, complete with pigs.

After all, having tasted the Starry Sky's premium pork, eating other pork from the market just didn't taste as good anymore.
