Protagonist:

Lu Feng

Hu Xiaoyun nodded gratefully toward Lu Feng, and his gentle attitude calmed her originally nervous mood quite a bit.

She plucked up her courage and asked proactively, "Boss, what is my main job every day?"

Lu Feng patiently explained, "From now on, you will be responsible for receiving customers in the shop every day, helping them place orders and collecting money. After customers place their orders, you need to notify me promptly. After I prepare the dishes properly, I will place them at the pickup counter, and you just carry the food to the counter and let customers take it themselves."

Afterward he paused, then added, "After customers finish eating, you clear the bowls and chopsticks and place them in the dish return area. You don't need to worry about anything else."

After Lu Feng finished speaking, he pointed to the dish return area in the corner of the hall.

"Boss, do I need to wash the bowls and chopsticks after I get off work?"

Hu Xiaoyun glanced at the dish return area, then asked another question.

Lu Feng heard it and laughed while shaking his head: "No need, you're a waiter, not a dishwasher. When you get off work, you just need to put the bowls and chopsticks into the kitchen cabinet."

What he said was somewhat vague, and he did not tell Hu Xiaoyun that the shop after system modification has the function of automatically cleaning bowls and chopsticks.

Just put the bowls and chopsticks into the cabinet, and after a moment, take them out, and they will become clean and new again.

If it weren't for this function, Lu Feng facing over a hundred customers every day would be exhausted just from washing dishes.

"Okay, Boss."

Hu Xiaoyun nodded, lowered her head, and continued to record seriously in her small notebook.

Seeing her serious note-taking appearance, Lu Feng nodded with satisfaction.

Not to mention anything else, just looking at the content recorded in Hu Xiaoyun's small notebook, well-organized and with neat handwriting, this serious attitude toward work made Lu Feng feel she was a reliable person.

Lu Feng then instructed a few more sentences, and by the way told her about the noodle soup sold during business hours tonight, then stood up and said to Hu Xiaoyun, "That's about it. I'll go to the kitchen to prepare first. When it's six o'clock soon, you go notify the diners outside to come in and place orders. This week's work pace is tight. If you have questions, it's best to ask me after business hours end."

Hu Xiaoyun carefully put her small notebook into her pocket, stood up, and nodded vigorously.

After Lu Feng finished instructing, he returned to the kitchen to continue preparing the noodles needed soon.

Hu Xiaoyun was not idle either. After looking around the hall once, she picked up a rag and carefully wiped every table and chair.

Soon, the six o'clock business hours arrived.

Hu Xiaoyun walked to the store entrance, and thinking that so many people outside were waiting, she became nervous again in her heart.

She kept cheering herself on, then plucked up her courage and opened the shop's big door.

Just as the door opened, the diners standing outside cast their gazes one after another, making Hu Xiaoyun's breathing become somewhat hurried.

She quickly recalled the matters Lu Feng had instructed before, tried to calm her nervous mood, and shouted loudly toward those outside, "Business hours have arrived. Please come in and place orders in an orderly manner."

After the diners heard it, they let out a cheer, then lined up and began walking into the shop.

Hu Xiaoyun hurriedly trotted to the counter, preparing to help the diners place orders.

"Hello, today the shop has Yangchun Noodles and Braised Beef Noodles. Which one would you like?"

Hu Xiaoyun smiled, looking at the customer at the front of the line and asked, her voice sounding gentle and kind.

"Ah? A new flavor again today?"

The diner at the front was a middle-aged uncle. After hearing it, his eyes lit up, and without hesitation he said, "Give me a portion of Braised Beef Noodles!"

The customers behind, after hearing it, could no longer suppress their long-anticipated mood, and shouted somewhat impatiently.

"I want a portion of Braised Beef Noodles too!"

"Little girl, I want Yangchun Noodles, thank you!"

"I didn't get to eat Yangchun Noodles yesterday, and today there's a new flavor again. Forget it, I'll eat Braised Beef Noodles first today!"

"I'm losing weight tonight. One bowl of Yangchun Noodles."

"I don't know if Boss Lu's Braised Beef Noodles taste the same as Kangshifu's. Let me have a bowl to try!"

Listening to the diners' enthusiastic ordering voices, Hu Xiaoyun quickly entered her work state.

She operated the computer at the cashier counter to place orders at top speed, while shouting to the diners behind, "Everyone don't be in a hurry, one by one, the noodles will be ready soon!"

After the customers paid one by one, Hu Xiaoyun took the printed receipts to the kitchen and handed the receipts to Lu Feng.

Lu Feng took them and glanced, then made an OK hand gesture toward Hu Xiaoyun, then began to busy himself.

Hu Xiaoyun walked out of the kitchen back to the counter, greeted the customers who had finished ordering to wait patiently at one side, then began to continue taking orders for the customers behind.

After a while, Lu Feng's voice came from the pickup counter: "Five portions of Braised Beef Noodles are ready!"

Hu Xiaoyun answered from outside, then hurriedly quick-stepped to the pickup counter, quickly handed the next batch of customers' order slips just printed to Lu Feng, then carried the five steaming bowls of Braised Beef Noodles to the counter, enthusiastically greeting the diners who had ordered to pick up their food.

The diners consciously picked up their own portions, found seats one after another, and impatiently began to enjoy them.

"Little girl, so you really are the shop's waiter? I misunderstood you just now. Sorry about that."

When it was Qin Ye's turn to order, he looked at Hu Xiaoyun somewhat embarrassedly and said.

"It's all right, sir. It's my first day at work, and you don't know me, so misunderstanding is normal."

Hu Xiaoyun smiled and replied without minding, then enthusiastically asked, "Sir, what would you like to eat today?"

"Give me a portion of Braised Beef Noodles!" Qin Ye looked at the price list on the wall, then said with a smile.

Liu Zhen Guo behind Qin Ye patted his shoulder and joked with a smile, "Old Qin, are your teeth still good? You forgot the red-braised beef I brought you last time. You ate two pieces and said you couldn't bite them. Don't end up unable to eat later and have Little Lu kick you out. Little girl, why don't you order Yangchun Noodles for us all?"

"You still have the nerve to say that? If you hadn't brought it up, I almost forgot."

Hearing this, Qin Ye immediately became displeased. He turned his head and glared at Liu Jian Guo, retorting, "I don't know where you bought that cheap beef last time. It was old and tough, like a rag in my mouth. I chewed for a long time and couldn't chew it soft. Can it compare to Little Lu's beef?"

After hearing this, Liu Zhen Guo said somewhat unconvinced, "I brought you beef out of goodwill, and you still complain? That was imported beef! That day, we all ate it fine. It's clearly that your own teeth are bad..."

Qin Ye couldn't be bothered to argue with him. He turned his head to Hu Xiaoyun and said, "Little girl, don't listen to this guy. Today I'm definitely eating Braised Beef Noodles!"

Hu Xiaoyun nodded with a smile, her fingers flying over the computer.

"Fine, but don't regret it if you can't finish it later — don't expect us few to help out then."

Liu Zhen Guo curled his lip, then said to Hu Xiaoyun, "Little girl, the three of us will have Yesterday's Yangchun Noodles; eating light in the Evening is more Comfortable."

Grandpa Qin, meanwhile, said with a hint of smugness on his face, "The ones who'll regret it later are probably you three — let's get this straight first: when my Braised Beef Noodles arrive, you three aren't allowed to snatch any."

"Hah! It's just a Bowl of Braised Beef Noodles — whoever snatches it is a grandson." Liu Zhen Guo said with a couldn't-care-less expression.
