Yuan Tiantian was extremely satisfied with her decision. She thought she was such a smart cookie!
"Hello, please come in."
Outside the kitchen came Sheng Jing's cold voice. Yuan Tiantian figured there must be a guest. She checked the time. It was still a bit before 10 o'clock. The guest came quite early.
Yuan Tiantian didn't really care at first and started to prepare the lunch dishes for today. Besides the four dishes they had decided on last night, she planned to add a dish of clams in tin foil, and of course, there would be a little bit of other shellfish like cockles.
These were the leftovers from last night's seafood. This dish would be the special dish for the private rooms today. At half past 10, when Sheng Jing and Jiang Shen went to the private rooms, they would send the menu over.
There were four private rooms reserved for today, one for lunch and three for dinner. The rest hadn't been reserved yet. Even if there were more, there would probably be only two or three more at most, either for lunch or dinner.
So, it would be relatively easier to handle the private rooms today. There was no need to ask Bai Ying to go and help.
"Someone asked about the Peach Blossom Cool Cake you just made."
Huh?
I was dealing with the lunch ingredients when I heard Sheng Jing come into the kitchen and tell me that someone had asked about the Peach Blossom Cool Cake.
How did someone know about it just after I made it?
Yuan Tiantian came to the dining area in surprise and saw a man and a woman in the shop. It was hard to tell what their relationship was. The man was quite handsome, but his whole aura gave off a vibe of "keep your distance". The woman, on the other hand, looked really pitiful.
Yes, really pitiful. Her face was sallow, and Yuan Tiantian could see several spots on her cheeks. Although her clothes looked very delicate and her hair was neatly done, because of that face, she looked extremely haggard. Moreover, her whole state seemed very bad.
"Are you the owner of this shop?"
When the man saw Yuan Tiantian come out, he frowned slightly, but the frown quickly disappeared. Then he said to Yuan Tiantian expressionlessly.
"Did your shop make any peach - blossom - related food just now?"
Sure enough, they came for the Peach Blossom Cool Cake. Yuan Tiantian didn't hide it and just nodded.
"If possible, could you sell me a serving?"
"My sister smelled the fragrance just now and really wants to eat it."
So they were siblings. Yuan Tiantian felt a bit curious. Why did the siblings come together? Especially since they both didn't seem young. The man was over thirty, and the haggard woman looked almost fifty, but she probably wasn't actually that old. It was just the bad state that gave such a visual illusion.
"I'm the person - in - charge of Wanhuang Entertainment. I know this might be an inappropriate request. I just heard your employee say that it might only be for internal supply for the time being. But my sister really needs it now. I just hope to trouble the little boss. I wonder if it's okay? Money is not an issue."
Saying that, the man took out a business card from his upper - pocket and handed it to Yuan Tiantian.
"Wanhuang Entertainment, He Cenyu."
Yuan Tiantian murmured in her heart. Suddenly, she remembered some things that Yuan Lele had complained about to the original Yuan Tiantian. This person should be the so - called rival entertainment company's He Cenyu that Yuan Lele had complained about at that time.
Yuan Tiantian thought silently for a while and then took the business card.
Then, seeing the extremely bad state of He Cenyu's sister, Yuan Tiantian made a decision.
This woman, ever since Yuan Tiantian came out, had been staring blankly ahead, saying nothing, looking completely listless.
If she was really interested in the Peach Blossom Cool Cake, Yuan Tiantian planned to give her a serving for free.
"Mr. He, to be honest, this is called Peach Blossom Cool Cake. Originally, I didn't plan to sell it. It was only for those who spent over 666 yuan in a single consumption here, and it was only for women. This thing is suitable for women. But if your sister really likes it, I'll give this serving for free. I hope it will make her feel better after eating it."
Yuan Tiantian didn't hide anything and told He Cenyu her original plan. She also noticed that when she took out the Peach Blossom Cool Cake, there was a glint of change in He Cenyu's sister's eyes when she saw the cake in front of her.
He Cenyu looked at the small square piece of Peach Blossom Cool Cake on the plate, then looked at Yuan Tiantian. Finally, he pursed his lips and said to Yuan Tiantian,
"Your shop has private rooms, right? Are there any available? We'll have lunch here today."
He Cenyu didn't want to owe others favors. It was just about lunchtime anyway. He planned to consume more later to pay off the favor of the Peach Blossom Cool Cake.
Hearing He Cenyu's question, Yuan Tiantian understood what he meant, but she didn't try to dissuade him. She just nodded at He Cenyu.
"Yes, there are still private rooms available for lunch."
After saying that, Yuan Tiantian called Sheng Jing over and told him to take He Cenyu and his sister to a private room. Watching their departing backs, Yuan Tiantian sighed.
She felt a bit strange. She wondered what on earth He Cenyu's sister had been through to be in such a bad state.
After returning to the kitchen, Yuan Tiantian started to prepare the ingredients again. Soon, she finished. At this time, Sheng Jing brought over the menu that He Cenyu had ordered. They had ordered 6 servings of each dish, not 6 dishes.
That was all the dishes on today's menu, all ordered six times. In total, it was nearly 800 yuan.
"Okay, eat or take it away."
After opening the private rooms, Yuan Tiantian also introduced the take - away service. Especially in the private rooms, sometimes people ordered too much and couldn't finish it, and there were no take - away containers. Yuan Tiantian thought it over and prepared some. She couldn't just let people stare blankly at the unfinished food.
However, through this incident, Yuan Tiantian could see that He Cenyu was really a man of principle. Thinking of Yuan Lele's complaints about him before, like being old - fashioned and unfeeling, she couldn't help but smile silently. The personality she saw today was really like that, no deviation at all.
At this time, He Cenyu and He Yunqin, who had just entered the private room, felt their moods inexplicably lifted a bit as soon as they walked in. After they sat down, this feeling became even more intense.
"Xiaoyu, I feel a bit better in my heart."
He Cenyu originally thought it was just his personal feeling, maybe it was the tranquility in the private room that made him feel comfortable. But he didn't expect that his sister He Yunqin, a patient in the middle stage of depression, would also have this feeling.
"Really? What kind of feeling?"
He Cenyu asked a bit excitedly. He Yunqin looked a bit dazed at first, then thought for a while and slowly said,
"It's just like a stone that had been hanging in my heart finally fell."
He Cenyu was shocked in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face for fear of scaring her. Then he handed the Peach Blossom Cool Cake to He Yunqin.
"Sis, try it."
Actually, because of her depression, He Yunqin hadn't had a good meal for a long time.
Since she had asked for it voluntarily today, He Cenyu naturally wanted to satisfy her.
Moreover, the Peach Blossom Cool Cake did look really good.
"Delicious!"
