Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Shen Mohen had never seen any of his family’s shops receive this many customers.

‘This is just a restaurant. Why is it so crowded?’

Meanwhile, Shen Qiuhui was full of admiration. He nodded and told his son,

“You’re not hallucinating, and neither am l. There are that many customers outside. Stop daydreaming. Hurry up and help.”

Shen Mohen returned to his senses. “Oh, right!”

Shen Qiuhui looked at the crowd and heard their enthusiasm toward the Su family. He became emotional and realized he had much to learn from his sister’s family.

He thought his family’s businesses did well, but he finally understood what it meant to have a good business after seeing the support the Su family received.

Meanwhile, the employees grew excited when they saw the crowd. They even worked more efficiently. The customers were thrilled and speechless when they saw the Su family helping at the restaurant.

The customers who entered the shop greeted the family excitedly, and the family warmly welcomed them.

Shen Qiuhua smiled, “Welcome to Su l s Mala Hotpot’s grand opening! We will serve everyone two free skewers as samples. We made them fresh, so please come and try them. Don’t be shy to taste the dipping sauce on the side.”

Those who came only to try the free samples were shocked and embarrassed when they experienced the Su family’s warmth and hospitality. Therefore, those who could afford to eat there chose to sit down and order more food.

They thought the free samples were delicious and craved for more. Moreover, the customers realized they could choose whatever skewers they wanted and only eat as much as they could afford.

“Their sales methods are unique. We can take less food if we have a limited budget. It won’t cost much if we just eat a little more.”

Initially, the customers were slightly puzzled by how the restaurant operated. However, the waitstaff explained things to them in detail. If some still failed to understand, the waitstaff would guide them accordingly.

While the cooks prepared the food in the kitchen, the stewards outside would call out numbers. Then, the customers could collect their food at the counter after hearing their number.

Su Wenwu had established an efficient way to serve his customers. It also increased everyone’s novel experience and saved the workforce. He did not need to hire food couriers because the customers could simply collect their orders according to their numbers.

Everyone seemed to enjoy the mala hotpot more than the regular hotpot. Moreover, mala hotpot was more affordable for the customers, especially with the 20% discount during the grand opening.

Many more people came to check out the restaurant and stayed longer. People came and went non-stop. It was apparent that business was booming.

The Su family was thrilled for Su Wenvvu. He had been busy all morning but ended the day with a warm and excited smile. He knew his new restaurant would be profitable.

Su Wenwu did not even have time to eat at noon. When Su Binglan went home to make lunch, she brought a box of food to the restaurant for him to eat.

She said, “Wenwu, your mala restaurant is trending. Everyone loves the food here.’

Su Wenvvu sighed in relief. “It’s all thanks to you, Sister. I wouldn’t have considered opening such a restaurant if it weren’t for you. Also, you gave me this shop instead of renting it to me. The location is perfect since it’s near home and Su Teng Market.”

“We’re siblings, Wenwu. You don’t have to be so formal with me.”

“You’re right. Still, I don’t know what to say besides thank you.” Su Wenvvu did not want to be so formal, but he knew he had a successful career because of his sister.

Su Binglan replied, “As your younger sister, I only hope for your happiness. If you want to show gratitude toward me, keep working hard to make yourself happy.”

Su Wenwu felt warm and touched as he looked at Su Binglan’s expression. He nodded thoughtfully and said, “l will, Sister. 1 only hope for you and Jin’an to be happy and well.”

Su Binglan nodded, then urged Su Wenwu to eat lunch. He did not have breakfast that morning because he was most concerned about the restaurant’s grand opening.

After realizing his grand opening had gone exceedingly well, he sighed in relief. Su Wenwu’s appetite grew as he ate his sister’s delicious food. He hoovered all his rice and vegetables.

After clearing the bowls and chopsticks, Su Binglan said, “Oh, get home early tonight, Wenwu. We’ll have glutinous rice balls.”

“All right.” Su Wenwu looked forward to eating the glutinous rice balls. After all, it was heartwarming to share dinner with the family during the holidays.

“We’ll visit the riverside and put up lanterns after dinner,” Su Binglan added.

Su Wenwu’s eyes lit up upon hearing that. Later, Su Binglan left after chatting with him. The family wanted to spend all day helping Su Wenwu, but he insisted they go home to rest.

He knew he did not need much help since the mala hotpot restaurant was easier to manage. The dishes were more straightforward, and the customers chose their ingredients.

Then, the customers would weigh their food, pay the fee, and sit. Those in the queue needed to wait for the kitchen to call their number. The kitchen staff would then call the numbers after cooking the dishes.

Su Wenvvu did not need too many people to help, and his parents later realized it was indeed the case. Since they could not help much at the restaurant, they returned home at noon.

After reaching home, the Su family prepared for the festival. That afternoon, Shen Qiuhua even delivered glutinous rice balls to her in-laws. It was already late afternoon when the family finished tidying up.

Su Binglan and Shen Qiuhua busied themselves at the stove, separating each flavor of glutinous rice balls into several baskets.

The former said, “Mother, these are for Granduncle Su. Those are for Uncle Zhengde, Grandpa, Grandma, and Uncle Fenchen. I also left some for Uncle Fengchi and Uncle Fengzhang.”

Su Fengmao saw the glutinous rice balls his daughter had prepared. He said happily, “Your grandparents will be thrilled to see these.”

Shen Qiuhua nodded. “Indeed. They’re always delighted whenever 1 deliver food to them..
