Chapter 54: Open For Business
At 11 o'clock, the restaurant hit a small peak. Many girls came to the wisteria gazebo. Some elite men felt it was not appropriate to leave after they came in. Some couples made up for Valentine's Day. In order to stay with their girlfriends, the boyfriends could only stay to order food, so it was impossible for them to leave.
After everyone sat down, Mo Shaoqing, Wang Lifang and Yue Ling went to the kitchen and got busy. Many people order pasta. Mo Shaoqing boiled the water, put salt and homemade olive oil in it, add noodles and wait until the noodles were cooked.
In addition, Wang Xiafeng washed the vegetables, Yue Ling and Wang Lifang were busily cooked the dishes, and Li Zhiye was assisting. The only one left at the front desk was Mo Di, who just returned from the New Year and the food was greasy, so many people ordered fruit and vegetable salad and freshly squeezed fruit juice. Mo Di was too busy. Fortunately, Mo Shaoqing worked as a part-time waiter to help with ordering and serving.
The waiting was tormented, and the aroma came from the kitchen. Everyone was shocked that the three points hunger had already spread to eight points. Homemade tofu, stewed pig trotters with soybeans, soup rice, fried cashew nuts with celery and lily, steamed luffa with minced garlic...
A lot of pleasant dishes were served, which were obviously ordinary dishes, but when it went in the mouth it's totally different. The taste of the food itself had been elevated to a higher level by the chef's delicate cooking skill. It could be said that the lips and teeth remain fragrant, the meaning was wishing to continue.
(TN: Lips and teeth (唇齿): lit. lips and teeth (idiom); fig. close partners; interdependent)
Scooped up the pasta, doused it on the well-cooked sauce, decorate it with small tomatoes with black pepper and mint leaves. Mo Shaoqing served the two portion of pasta first.
This dish was ordered by two ladies on the terrace. When Mo Shaoqing went, the two ladies were taking pictures everywhere, regardless of their manners. Mo Shaoqing also had the right to not see it and respectfully put the food. The two elegant ladies could not wait to start tasting it. They said they could not eat it too much.
Mo Shaoqing politely said, "Shrimp pasta with bacon and tomato sauce pasta, your dishes are ready, please enjoy."
Then he took the plate of the fruit salad and was about to leave, but one of the ladies stopped him——
"Well, handsome boy, the food in your store is delicious. The fresh bacon and asparagus rolls and Louisiana baked wings are delicious. My tongue is almost gone. And the fruit salad is so fresh! Brother, where did the fruit come from?"

"These are all planted by grandparents in the countryside. They eat by themselves. They are very safe and not sprayed pesticides." Mo Shaoqing took the conversation with a smile and naturally revealed the identity of the little boss.
"I have never eaten such delicious strawberries. They don't even taste like strawberries anymore. And the little tomatoes on the noodles are sweet and sour. They have a lot of juice. I must come here often in the future!" the lady couldn't help exclaiming.
Mo Shaoqing knew it would be such a result, but his heart was still happy to blossom. These fruits were produced in the space, and the taste was not bad.
Another lady was more tactful and said, "Does the little boss sell strawberries?"
"Yes, will you sell it? I want to buy a few kilos, please, little boss."
"Eh... this... yes, but the quantity will not be too much, because the production is not too high and the store has to use it." Mo Shaoqing did not want to agree. After all, this was one of the restaurant's selling points, but after listening to the ladies' request, but he suddenly remembered the old days of selling flowers.
He suddenly felt that the store may be able to expand a business. Thought about it Mo Shaoqing could not help but a burst of joy, hastily agreed, but couldn't let strawberry appear too cheap, and the scarcity of strawberries was emphasized.
"Then I'll take a catty. Little boss, calculate the price!"
(TN: Catty (斤): 0.6 kg)
"I want three catty, eh... would it too much, two catty!"
After a brief tidy-up, Mo Shaoqing went downstairs and took three catty of strawberries from the space and packed them in boxes. Thinking about how much the price was right, 60 Yuan, umm—— was that alright? Would it be too expensive? Well, make it 50!
If this sideline was doing well, it's also a good income for the restaurant. After all, it's only open now, and there was still a shortage of funds. But now Mo Shaoqing couldn't imagine how much a kilo of strawberries will be fried in the future.
Although it was a busy day, Mo Shaoqing knew it was just the beginning. Watching customers eat with relish and listening to praise from time to time, Mo Shaoqing heart was very satisfied. A good beginning was half the success. Come on, Mo Shaoqing!
