The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 983 - 981: The Newly Opened Chu’s Restaurant

The mourning at the Chu Mansion ended silently.

After Yu Jian transferred to the Shaking Light Class, he feigned illness and did not attend class, likely too ashamed to face the Spirit Institute’s teachers and students.

If it weren’t for the End of Year Assessment, he might have already dropped out and returned home. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

However, this incident allowed new students from the three classes at the Spirit Institute to finally get along well.

As for the old students, the open and secret rivalry between Zhao Gang and Tuoba continued.

Several days passed in a blur, and on this day, Ma Jingtian sent a message saying that Chu’s Restaurant was renovated and ready to open immediately.

Xin Lin received the news, took a day’s leave from Master Mu, and headed to Chu’s Restaurant.

Upon arriving at the street corner, she saw a long line of customers already waiting at the entrance of Chu’s Restaurant.

Many of them were loyal fans of the Ultimate Lingxiu Buns and sugar lotus root from earlier.

Having merged with the coffin shop, Chu’s Restaurant was now significantly more spacious, transforming from an ordinary breakfast shop into a One-star Spiritual Food Restaurant.

At the entrance hung a Phoebe Wood sign, with the large characters "Chu’s Restaurant" particularly striking.

Looking inside, the old tables and chairs had been replaced.

On the wall of the hall hung ten menu boards, displaying spiritual dishes ranging from one-star to two-star ratings.

Ma Jingtian selected six reasonably attractive, quick-handed gang members from the Water Wraith Gang, dressed them in custom "Chu’s Restaurant" uniforms, with Mu Yi as the head chef and Ma Jingtian as the assistant chef.

The first three days of Chu’s Restaurant’s reopening offered half-price promotions.

By early morning, the shop was bustling and overwhelmed with activity.

"Little Boss, business is excellent. Mu Yi really is a good prospect; the customers are full of praise for her dishes,"

Ma Jingtian noticed Xin Lin arriving, sneaked a moment from his busy schedule, and squeezed over to report, wiping his sweat.

"It seems the reputation is quite good. Once it calms down a bit, I’ll pick a few more assistant chefs and general workers,"

Xin Lin saw Mu Yi busy and with a flushed face, showing no signs of the grief from Chairman Mu’s passing.

She felt slightly relieved.

She felt somewhat guilty towards Mu Yi, as Chairman Mu had entrusted Mu Yi to her before passing.

Though Xin Lin knew Empress Feng was responsible for Chairman Mu’s death, she had kept it a secret.

Considering it over, Xin Lin thought she should find an opportunity to tell Mu Yi the truth.

Worked busily till the afternoon, in the afternoon, after Chu’s Restaurant closed, Mu Yi finally had a chance to catch her breath.

"Xin Lin, you’re here. I have some matters to discuss with you."

Mu Yi took Xin Lin aside to talk about issues relating to Chu’s Restaurant, all concerning the improvement of its operations and layout.

Though around the same age as Xin Lin, Mu Yi had traveled far and wide with Chairman Mu since childhood, and due to livelihood reasons, had worked in spiritual food restaurants in various countries, so she knew much more than Xin Lin and Ma Jingtian.

"Due to the birthday banquet, Chu’s Restaurant now has quite a reputation in the city. However, that’s only temporary; we must develop some unique spiritual dishes. After all, sugar lotus root and Ultimate Lingxiu Buns are just snacks, priced modestly. Chu’s Restaurant currently holds fame only among the common populace. But truly renowned spiritual food restaurants attract distinguished figures and some cultivators. These people, when eating spiritual food, care not just for the taste, but mostly for its medicinal effects. To refine and expand Chu’s Restaurant, we need to create some therapeutic spiritual dishes. The Wind Breath Braised Pork Belly you made last time was quite good,"

Mu Yi spoke incessantly.
