「Three days later.」

The restaurant officially opened. The date had been specially chosen by An Lan after consulting a fortune teller. On this day, the entire Lin Feng family attended, dressed in their finest clothes.

When they arrived, they discovered there weren't many customers inside. Zhang Yuxi's heart skipped a beat. "Where are the customers?"

An Lan smiled. "They've all eaten and gone to work. Today is just a soft opening, and we had quite a few customers this morning!"

Lin Feng also explained to Zhang Yuxi that since the restaurant was new, their initial target customers were the nearby workers. They had to be at work by seven in the morning, so they ate rather early.

"Oh, I see," Zhang Yuxi nodded. She had been dumbfounded when she saw the empty restaurant just moments ago. After all, An Lan had poured her heart and soul into this place. How devastated would she be if it lost money? Seeing An Lan smiling and in high spirits, it seemed business was doing great. Zhang Yuxi breathed a sigh of relief.

In addition to Xiong Xiaolong as the head chef, the restaurant also employed two assistant chefs and five waiters. An Lan herself took on the role of cashier.

"Now that you're the cashier, you won't be able to sleep in anymore," Lin Feng teased. "Oh, by the way, did you find a place to live?"

An Lan pointed to a nearby building. "I was looking for an apartment for Xiong Xiaolong yesterday and found some studio apartments over there. I rented one on the spot and plan to live there for a while. Once the restaurant is on the right track and can run on its own, I'll hire a proper cashier."

An Lan had been pampered since childhood, but ever since she started renovating the shop, she constantly had dark circles under her eyes. Now that the restaurant had finally opened, she was filled with a new sense of energy.

"There will be more customers at twelve o'clock," she said. "Make yourselves comfortable. I'm going to check on the kitchen and see how preparations are coming along."

Lin Feng nodded, getting Zhang Yuxi and the babies settled. "Honey, I'm going to check on the kitchen. Call me if you need anything."

"Okay."

To cultivate a trustworthy image for the restaurant, An Lan had even installed security cameras in the kitchen. The live feed was projected onto a wall, allowing diners to see exactly what was happening in the back.

Before Lin Feng even stepped into the kitchen, he heard the CLANGING and BANGING of utensils from within. The kitchen was designed exceptionally well, with a glass partition displaying some of the fresh ingredients. It was even equipped with a computer, giving it a very high-end and impressive look. The chefs inside had all been transferred from An Lan's father's hotel. They worked with meticulous precision, treating every dish with extreme care, terrified of making a single mistake.

Seeing Lin Feng enter, An Lan came over to greet him. "Director Lin, if we get short-staffed later, I'm afraid we'll have to trouble you."

After all, it was their first day, and the peak customer traffic would surely be during the lunch and dinner rushes.

Lin Feng smiled. "It's no trouble at all."

"Great!" An Lan said. "It's almost lunchtime, so I'll head back to the front desk."

An Lan cleared her throat lightly and stood at the counter, her eyes bright with anticipation. She had immense confidence in Xiong Xiaolong's and Lin Feng's culinary skills. She believed the workers who ate breakfast here this morning would definitely return for lunch and bring even more people with them.

Before long, a group of workers walked in. Seeing this wave of customers, An Lan's heart pounded in her chest. This was all money! Money!

"Boss, one Set A, please!"

"Alright, one Set A, correct? Would you like some soup as well? Our soup is also delicious!"

"Sure!"

Soon, customers began pouring in. The first floor was completely full, with seats only available on the second.

"Folks, there are more seats upstairs! If you can't find a spot down here, please head up to the second floor!" An Lan called out from the doorway.

At this point, it wasn't just the nearby workers. Many shoppers and passersby were drawn in by An Lan's enthusiastic calls. Of course, a good number of the male patrons were drawn by her sexy, stunning figure.

While waiting for their food, the customers looked around at the restaurant's decor and began to chat among themselves.

"This place is decorated so nicely! It looks like a grand hotel!"

"Yeah, and the prices are really reasonable."

"I just wonder how the food tastes."

"I hope it's good. If it is, I'll definitely come back often."

Seeing the sea of customers, An Lan started to feel a little overwhelmed. She rushed to the back kitchen and urged, "Everyone, let's pick up the pace!"

Zhang Yuxi saw the situation and said to Lin Feng, "Go see if they need help in the kitchen. I'll take care of the babies, don't worry."

"Alright."

Some customers had already started hounding them for their food. Lin Feng walked into the kitchen, tied on an apron, put on a mask, and prepared to unleash his skills.

Xiong Xiaolong was completely swamped. He turned his head and saw Lin Feng enter. "Director Lin!"

Lin Feng simply nodded, activated [God-level Culinary Skills], and his cooking speed became simply astonishing. Xiong Xiaolong stood to the side, utterly dumbfounded.

"Don't just stand there gawking. Get busy," Lin Feng said.

"Oh, right!" Xiong Xiaolong snapped back to his senses and started cooking again.

In less than a few minutes, plate after plate of dishes that were a feast for the senses came fresh from the kitchen.

As the serving bell rang, waiters came over to bring the dishes to the customers' tables. The sight of the delicious meals made everyone's mouth water.

"This restaurant is amazing! The food is so delicious!"

"Especially that pickled fish! The flavor is absolutely divine!"

"Not only is it delicious, but the prices are so affordable!"

"I'm definitely coming back!"

Hearing the praise from the surrounding customers, a satisfied smile spread across An Lan's face.
