Chapter 211: Chapter 211: Is She Sick?

Ji Deyi didn’t care, "I’m a science student; I’m not too familiar with this area."

Lu Youxi, worried that Lin Jingshen, a major client, would slip away, ignored Ji Deyi’s witty banter and took the flyers straight to the group of four including Lin Jingshen.

The three roommates of Lin Jingshen: "!!!"

What’s the deal with Lu Youxi?

She definitely heard what they were saying just now, right?

They hadn’t lowered their voices at all, unconcerned about Lu Youxi overhearing.

The distance between Lu Youxi and them had been close enough for her to hear everything they had just said.

Could it be that Lu Youxi came over to argue?

Even Lin Jingshen was puzzled by this, but saw Lu Youxi with a beaming smile, looking like... a businesswoman.

Lu Youxi’s smiling face gave Lin Jingshen and his friends that impression.

They heard Lu Youxi say, "Student, take a look at our internet cafe. The environment is really nice, with private booths, and we serve meals. The bento boxes are cooked in our own kitchen, guaranteed clean and hygienic. Plus, our internet cafe has VIP rooms where you can rest whenever you’re tired from surfing the web. Our computers are top-notch, with the highest configurations you can find in internet cafes on the market right now—the internet is lightning fast. It’ll speed up your research and coursework, faster than anyone else, and can run all the large online games available on the market."

"Come take a look. Our prices are very reasonable." Lu Youxi said, stuffing flyers into the hands of the four bewildered individuals.

"Would you like to consider it, Student Lin? Try the delight of surfing the web in our VIP room?"

None of them had expected that Lu Youxi would not bring up anything about her and her husband.

Her moves had left the four totally dumbfounded.

"Waiting for you guys!" After saying this, Lu Youxi went off to distribute flyers elsewhere.

Lin Jingshen: "..."

He incredulously turned to his roommates, "Is she out of her mind?"

"Does this show she has a good attitude?" Roommate A was rendered speechless by Lu Youxi as well.

The internet cafe officially opened on Friday.

Lu Zhenguo and Liu Yushu spent Thursday working hard, distributing flyers in the neighborhood.

With the grand opening promotions, they indeed managed to attract quite a few customers to try it out.

Reasonable prices, and the environment was good; trying it once wouldn’t hurt.

One customer came in and bought four hours of internet time straight away.

Pei Jingyuan checked the time he was due to get off the computer and asked, "Would you like to order lunch?"

The young man glanced at the prices. "Eight yuan for lunch? Isn’t that a bit expensive?"

"Not expensive. It comes with a main course, meat, vegetables, and soup—fresh ingredients purchased from the morning market. Just ask around anywhere else; even the price is considered quite cheap and fair," explained Pei Jingyuan.

The young man pondered for a bit but still shook his head, "Never mind, eight yuan is enough for two more hours of internet and I still have change."

"Alright." Pei Jingyuan wasn’t one to force a sale, "We also offer instant noodles for three yuan a bowl. If you want some, just holler, and I’ll prepare and bring it over to you."

"Three yuan?" The young man looked at the price and thought it reasonable enough. Outside, it would cost two yuan and fifty cents. An internet cafe was supposed to be a little more expensive, "So if I bring my own from outside, can you prepare it as well?"

"You can also bring your own from outside, and we’ll prepare it for fifty cents for the hot water. You see, we’re only five cents more expensive here, which is the cost of boiling the water," explained Pei Jingyuan.

"You guys really know how to make money," said the young man with a wry tone, not making any commitments and taking his internet card to find a machine.

That morning, everyone thought the lunch boxes were a bit pricey and not worth it, so nobody ordered one.

With the cut-off time for orders approaching, Liu Yushu, anxious, came over to ask Pei Jingyuan, "Xiao Pei, how’s it going? Did anyone order lunch?"

"Not yet," Pei Jingyuan stood up and called out, "Lunch orders are closing, anyone wants lunch?"

Most customers were wearing headphones, and whether they didn’t hear or simply couldn’t be bothered to respond, there was no reaction.

Pei Jingyuan shook his head, "Auntie, no one’s ordering."

After Liu Yushu got home, she thought for a moment and then called Lu Youxi.

The phone rang a few times before Lu Youxi answered.

"Youxi, am I interrupting your class?" Liu Yushu regretted her action, realizing she should have sent a message to Lu Youxi first to inquire.

"No, I’m self-studying right now," Lu Youxi stepped out of the study room, "Mom, what’s up?"

"It’s like this. No one wanted to buy lunch all morning," Liu Yushu said uneasily, "With no orders, I’m just idling, and it wouldn’t be right to just take the internet cafe’s salary."

Especially since that salary was Lu Youxi’s money.

If it was some unrelated boss’s money, as long as she didn’t lose out, she wouldn’t care one bit.

"How about this, I’ll get paid based on the number of orders, or wait until someone orders a meal, before getting paid?" Liu Yushu was reluctant to take Lu Youxi’s money for nothing, "Otherwise, I’d feel guilty taking the salary you give."

"It’s no problem," Lu Youxi said with a laugh, "It’s like this at the start of any business, how could it be booming right away?"

"Here’s what you’ll do. At noon, you only cook for you, dad, and Pei Jingyuan. Pack the lunches in the bento boxes and bring them to the internet cafe to eat. The food you make is especially delicious, I refuse to believe the customers won’t be tempted by the smell. Today at noon, just showcase your best cooking skills; whatever smells the strongest, make that."

"Alright," Liu Yushu nodded, as that was the only thing she could do.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Youxi called Pei Jingyuan.

"Boss," Pei Jingyuan adapted quickly to his role, already filled with respect for Lu Youxi as his employer.

"When lunchtime comes, my mom will bring over the bento boxes; you, mom, and dad eat at the internet cafe. You can walk around the place while eating, trying to let the customers catch a whiff of the bento’s aroma."

"I got it, to make them die of jealousy," Pei Jingyuan whispered.

Lu Youxi: "..."

Directly speaking, that was indeed the plan.

Liu Yushu was also geared up to make the food smell extra fragrant.

She remembered passing a KFC with Lu Youxue in the Imperial Capital before, the scent of the fried chicken wafting out held a special allure, even more enticing than what they made at home.

Surely no one dislikes fried food, right?

Thinking so, Liu Yushu pulled some chicken legs out of the fridge.

She washed the chicken legs with water to help them thaw quicker and marinated them with seasoning.

Add beaten egg, coat in flour, sift to create flakes, and fry once, setting aside for later use.

On the side, she steamed the rice.

Liu Yushu also fried some sweet corn kernels; the scent of corn is particularly seductive.

She made spicy and sour shredded potatoes, along with a bowl of winter melon soup.

Finally, she fried the chicken legs a second time, with an incredibly appetizing aroma, golden and irresistibly crunchy.

Liu Yushu deliberately left a chicken leg marinated and covered in egg, but not yet fried, planning to fry it in the evening for Lu Youxue to eat.
