After a Contractual Marriage, Little Taotie Went Viral!-Chapter 240 - 238: Get Me a Significant Other

After taking a group photo and signing autographs for them, he returned to the cashier.

In just ten minutes, four or five tables of guests had arrived, and the lobby was almost full. Thanks to the exclusive carriage rides to the restaurant, many tourists were attracted.

According to the ancient town’s pricing, the average bill for each table was nearly two hundred yuan, and over sixty tables were served in the morning.

This wasn’t even the peak period; lunchtime is usually the busiest.

To avoid being hungry during peak time, everyone prepared to have lunch at eleven o’clock.

After sending off the last group of morning guests, a few people sat on chairs. Wang Sirui’s face was covered in sweat as he gulped down water, saying, "Ah, I’m exhausted, both tired and thirsty. After drinking this bottle of water, I feel like I’m alive again."

Wang Sirui scratched his messy hair and howled, "I’ve never been this tired even while dancing."

"It’s just starting; there’ll be more people at noon," Chen Yao reminded.

"Don’t remind me," he leaned over the table.

Yang Leqi gave him a look, "None of us are saying we’re tired, so why are you?"

Wang Sirui rested his chin on the table, looking at her, "If you think it’s not tiring, we can swap. I wouldn’t mind at all."

Yang Leqi chuckled, "Why should I swap with you? I’m not stupid."

[Exactly! Even your wife didn’t complain, so why are you?!]

[Haha, not stupid, indeed! We’re clever!]

[Hmph, this guy isn’t honest; he dares to mess with our Leqi. We disagree with this marriage! doge]

[Don’t be like that; even though this fool is a bit silly, he’s a good person! If Leqi marries into our family, we definitely won’t let her suffer! If he dares to treat Leqi badly, we won’t let him off!]

Pei Yan sat beside Qin Yun, handed her a yogurt, and pulled out two pieces of candy from who-knows-where, then leaned forward to ask softly, "Are you hungry?"

Qin Yun was sitting at the edge, and as soon as Pei Yan sat down, his aura enveloped her. She saw the candy he handed over and asked, puzzled, "Where did you get the candy?"

At the same time, her hands weren’t idle; she took and unwrapped one, popping it into her mouth.

She was almost starving.

But everyone had just settled down, and the chef hadn’t prepared lunch yet.

Pei Yan: "I asked a kid for it earlier, said it was for my partner, so she gave me two pieces."

Qin Yun looked at him, shocked: "??"

"Just kidding, the kid gave it to me, thanking me for the yogurt," Pei Yan smiled, teasingly watching her.

Qin Yun looked speechless, thinking he might be a trickster disguised as Pei Yan.

She savored two candies, tasting their flavor, then bit them crunchily, as if biting Pei Yan himself.

Pei Yan had mentioned wife duties before, but hearing partner and wife today felt somewhat different to her.

Her heart involuntarily sped up, and her face felt a bit hot.

Could it be that Leqi said she liked him?

But it seemed different from what Yang Leqi said; she didn’t notice anything unusual with Pei Yan.

Qin Yun, not wanting to overthink, let it go; taking things as they come.

[What’s brother talking to Qin Yun about?]

[Why does only Qin Yun get candy? Are we unworthy?]

[These two keep quiet, making us unhappy!! What’s there we can’t hear?!]

The chefs worked quickly; given ten chefs only preparing for a few people, each made two to three dishes, and it was done swiftly.

Since there were many people, they specifically went to the private room on the second floor next door, which had a big round table.

Since the live stream was still on, Pei Yan couldn’t be too conspicuous, but he subtly pushed Qin Yun’s favorite dishes towards her, unnoticed even by Yang Leqi sitting on Qin Yun’s other side.

Noon was the busiest time, so everyone ate quickly.

After lunch, they moved into the second round of busyness.

From eleven thirty to two in the afternoon, nearly a hundred tables were served, with some having to eat on the carriage due to lack of space.

Had it not been for limited space and manpower, probably even more could have been served, as many were waiting in line outside.

Wang Sirui ran back and forth without stopping and suddenly realized that Mr. Pei had been right all along!!

Only by preparing ahead can you face great surprises!

By the time they closed at six in the afternoon, they had served over three hundred tables, almost four hundred, excluding staffing costs and several orders for supplies. They made over fifty-six thousand yuan.

Upon hearing the day’s earnings, all fatigue and hunger vanished!

"Wow! If I could earn this every day, why would I bother being a celebrity? I’d open a shop directly!" Wang Sirui exclaimed, slapping the table excitedly after hearing Pei Yan calculate the profits.

"No wonder so many celebrities have side businesses; this side business is truly sweet!" Chen Yao commented upon hearing the profits.

Pei Yan pointed out directly, "Today’s profits are mainly because everything is fresh and new. Many came for the carriage ride and happened to dine as well. Once the trend cools down, there’ll be fewer visitors."

Listening to Pei Yan, everyone calmed down.

Though today’s earnings were considerable, they were also truly tired; the six of them had barely rested apart from meal times.

While staying open at night might have boosted pure profits to seventy or eighty thousand, an impressive amount for this small restaurant, even in the city center.

Though tired, they were excited as well, having succeeded in their first restaurant operation.

However, Pei Yan’s words made sense too; today’s profit was driven by rarity and novelty of the carriage and a large influx of people from the live stream, including local fans.

Some from farther away also arrived by afternoon.

Some ancient town tourists came for the carriage experience as well.

Needless to say, Pei Yan’s opening strategy was hugely successful.

Not only did it promote the carriage’s launch, but the restaurant’s association with it, drawing attention through novelty, curiosity, and celebrity perks, encouraging tourists to wait for a meal.

The guests’ fans were understanding and considerate, eating quickly and vacating to allow others a chance.

Everything ran smoothly, yielding today’s extraordinary figures.

The production team was most surprised.

The directors initially planned this restaurant recording to enhance the final broadcast; however!!
