Chapter 3, Don't Touch My Dish

However, this issue was quickly resolved by the enthusiastic students, who took the initiative to rush into the restaurant to move the tables and chairs, fearing that if they were a moment slower, someone else would occupy the tables.

After speaking, he grinned mischievously and reached out towards Yu Yaqing. Yu Yaqing quickly took two steps back, her delicate body trembling with anger. At this moment, she realized that this group of people was simply looking for trouble.

The leader, a young man with yellow hair, greedily looked at Yu Qiaoqing and said, "It's such a pity for such a beautiful boss lady to be a waitress. Why not come with me, and I will ensure you enjoy a life of luxury and indulgence."

Fan Xiaoxiao touched her flat stomach, hesitated for a moment, and shyly said to Yu Yaqing: "Sister Qing, could you ask Lin Mu to stir-fry another dish for us?"

Yu Yaqing looked at Lin Mu and said, "Chef Lin, since you still have some dishes, could you please prepare a plate for the two of us as well?"

This was something that Yu Yaqing had never anticipated, but soon another problem arose. Although Lin Mu did not feel tired, the restaurant's dishes were basically depleted.

Yu Yaqing and Fan Xiaoxiao were both flushed by Lin Mu's words. They exchanged a glance of disapproval with Lin Mu and hurried into the restaurant

After a pause, the blonde-haired man's expression turned fierce as he said: "You can choose not to pay the rent, but don't blame me for being rude to you. Brothers, go ahead and smash the stalls!"

This is the amount of ingredients Yu Yaqing usually prepares for a week, yet it was all cleared out in just one day

Fan Xiaoxiao revealed an embarrassed expression and said, "I secretly hid a set of ingredients for Kung Pao Chicken in your refrigerator on the second floor."

Upon seeing the five individuals, Yu Yaqing's beautifully shaped brows furrowed slightly, but she still approached them and said, "I am sorry, we have already closed for business"

And the library forest path: "Haven't you both already seen it?"

The three of them sat together, and Yu Yaqing said: "I was so busy all afternoon that I forgot to discuss the salary issue with you. What are your thoughts on the salary?"

At this moment, the two exchanged glances and noticed each other's unusual demeanor, causing both to blush uncontrollably

Lin Mu casually remarked, "I have been paying attention to exercise since I was young, so there is nothing surprising about it"

Soon, dish after dish of delicacies was served, with Yu Qinqing and Fan Xiaoxiao taking on the role of waitstaff. However, they quickly realized they were overwhelmed, as many diners, after finishing one plate, exclaimed that it was not enough, ordering two or even three plates of the same dish.

Upon hearing this, Yu Yaqing immediately exclaimed in anger: "Who said the area in front of the house is yours? This falls within my three-package scope, and I have the right to manage and use it!"

This is not merely cooking; it is a performance of exquisite art

Yu Yaqing looked at Fan Xiaoxiao and chuckled, while Lin Mu, standing by, couldn't help but laugh as well

Fan Xiaoxiao looked at Yu Yaqing with some surprise, not understanding how Yu Yaqing could offer such generous terms

After the two women got up, they turned around and simultaneously caught sight of Lin Mu's fiery gaze, which made them blush uncontrollably again

Fan Xiaoxiao also stood up angrily and said: "Do you still have any regard for the law? Do you believe we will call the police to arrest you?"

Lin Mu quickly brought down the main ingredients and accompaniments from the second floor, and with the aid of the light, he began to prepare the dish.

Another ten minutes passed, and the crowd surrounding Lin Mu not only did not disperse but instead showed a trend of escalating intensity. The open space in front of the small shop had already been surrounded by layers of people, and as soon as a vacancy appeared, there would immediately be a frenzy among the book enthusiasts to seize the seats.

As Lin Mu spoke of the gentle breeze and light clouds, a glimmer of peculiar light flashed in the eyes of Yu Qinqing and Fan Xiaoxiao. The timeless truth that beautiful women are drawn to heroes remains unchanged, especially when this hero is not bad-looking at all

Seeing Yu Yaqing evade, the blonde-haired man reluctantly withdrew his hand and said, "We are not here to eat vegetables today; we are here to collect the rent"

Yu Yaqing furrowed her brow and said, "What rent are you collecting? This is my own house!"

Those who had made reservations for noon rushed here in droves, and when they arrived, each one stood in place, mesmerized, gazing at Lin Mu

Not to mention Lin Mu, even passersby who see two stunning beauties bending down to work would feel a surge of envy, jealousy, and resentment as they observe Lin Mu sitting leisurely behind them.

Lin Mu sat behind, watching two beautiful women, glistening with sweat, bending over to work in front of him, unable to suppress another wave of distraction.

Soon, a magnificent scene unfolded. The restaurant was completely cleared out, and everyone had moved their tables and chairs to sit in the open space in front of the trees. As they inhaled the enticing aroma and watched the graceful movements, everyone couldn't help but swallow hard.

Yu Yaqing lowered her head and thought for a moment, then bit her lip and said: "How about this, you can stay in the shop, I will stay upstairs and you can stay downstairs"

Yu Yaqing has her own ideas. It is certain that Lin Mu's arrival will make her small shop immensely popular. Moreover, Lin Mu is a rare talent. Although it may seem that she is sacrificing a portion of her profits, Yu Yaqing understands that the profits brought by Lin Mu's presence will far exceed this five percent.

However, looking at https://www.hetushu.com, Lin Mu does not seem to be a bad person

Just as the dish was only halfway done, five individuals resembling small-time thugs walked over horizontally.

Yu Yaqing looked at the plump purse, her face beaming with joy.

After three hours of hard work, Fan Xiaoxiao and Yu Yaqing were both utterly exhausted. More critically, they had been smelling the enticing dishes without being able to eat, which was undoubtedly a form of torment

Yu Yaqing also realized that she had asked a pointless question, so she rephrased it: "I meant to ask how you can lift such a heavy object"

Lin Mu nodded again and said, "Good!"

As Yu Yaqing swiftly dodged the opponent's wolf-like claws, her expression instantly turned cold: "Please show some self-respect"

How can one stir-fry without any vegetables

As a chef, Lin Mu welcomes all table turnovers without hesitation. He has been cooking for over an hour straight without taking a single minute of rest. Although beads of sweat have begun to appear on his forehead, his movements remain graceful and effortless.

Then everyone reacted and started calling to eat outside

Lin Mu replied earnestly: "I have seen beautiful women, but I have never seen one as beautiful as this."

After Yu Yaqing finished speaking, her heart couldn't help but race. She was also unsure whether it was right to let Lin Mu, a person of unknown origin, live with her.

Lin Midao: "I currently have no place to stay."

Meanwhile, Fan Xiaoxiao and Yu Yaqing meticulously cleaned the stove, leaving no corner overlooked

Lin Mu smiled and said, "No problem, please wait a moment, ladies."

Faced with an increasing number of people, Yu Yaqing had no choice but to explain one after another

Lin Mu truly has no particular opinion about money, stating indifferently: "I have no views on the matter of 'and - diagram - book', you can decide as you see fit."

Yu Yaqing looked at Lin Mu and asked in surprise, "How did you do it?"

The large spoon and spatula in Lin Mu's hands seemed to come alive, while the flames beneath the stove danced like spirits, rapidly shifting and changing under Lin Mu's control

Fan Xiaoxiao and Yu Yaqing spent one hour cleaning the stove thoroughly

Huang Mao burst into laughter: "I really haven't learned self-restraint; why don't you teach me, Boss Lady!"

After pondering for a while, Yu Yaqing ultimately made a decision and said: "In this case, my monthly salary will remain the same as that of the original chef, which is 3,000, but you can extract 5% of the profits as commission each day"

The place where Yu Yaqing resides is just upstairs from the restaurant. The two of them took a quick shower and changed into fresh clothes before reappearing in front of Lin Mu

Ultimately, this bustling scene continued until nearly 8 o'clock. Only after confirming that the materials were indeed exhausted did people reluctantly disperse. However, many others had already made reservations for the dishes for the next day, and all of them were accompanied by double the negative deposit.

Yu Yaqing blushed and shot a glance at Lin Mu, saying: "What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a beauty before?"

They had never thought that cooking could be so carefree

At 5 PM, with the ringing of the class dismissal bell, Yu Yaqing's small shop also became busy.

The boss exclaimed, "We are eating out today!"

Suddenly recalling something, Yu Yaqing asked, "By the way, I still don't know where you live"

Huang Mao said, "The past is no longer the present." After a pause, Huang Mao continued, "Of course, if you don't pay rent, that's fine too; as long as you follow me, you won't have to pay any rent in the future!"

Upon a command from Mao, the four individuals behind him immediately surrounded Lin Mu and the stove

Oh! Lin Mu responded and, without any hesitation, directly moved a stool over and sat down

This left those girls who hurried over to strike up a conversation feeling disappointed as they returned.

Neither Yu Yaqing nor Fan Xiaoxiao expected that Lin Mu's culinary skills were exceptional, and the way he cooked was even more captivating

Huang Mao said: "The house is indeed yours, but the area in front of the house is mine. You have occupied my space; is it not reasonable for me to collect some rent?"

Just as one person was about to make a move, Lin Mu coldly spoke up: "Don't touch my vegetables"

However, this has caused great distress for Yu Yaqing and Fan Xiaoxiao. Everyone is eating outside, but how can the tables and chairs inside be moved out? The two of them certainly cannot move them by themselves

Yu Yaqing could hardly believe her ears; a chef as rare as Lin Mu actually had no salary demands. However, since Lin Mu did not make any requests, it made things even more difficult for Yu Yaqing

Yu Yaqing coughed lightly and said, "Xiaoxiao, let's clean the stove. Lin Mu, you can rest for now"

Moreover, some bold young women even took the initiative to approach Lin Mu and strike up a conversation

Lin Mu had no objections to this, nodding and saying: "Sure!"

It is now noon, and both individuals are already drenched in sweat. Their originally light clothing has completely adhered to their bodies, accentuating their curves. This made Lin Mu, who was sitting behind, feel as if he were about to catch fire.

Seeing another beautiful woman step forward, the blonde-haired man with triangular eyes joyfully exclaimed: "Another beauty has arrived; it seems I have struck gold this time"

However, Lin Mu is always very serious when cooking, showing almost no attention to the outside world
