chapter 569
569 – Apocalypse) Munjeonseongsi
-Boss! Here’s your order!
-Look at the atmosphere of this house. Do you feel emotional in the interior?
-That’s right. It feels like a guaranteed delicious restaurant.
ㅡIt looks like a pretty old house. Why does it feel like I’m seeing it for the first time?
-I didn’t have anywhere to go because other stores were full, but it was good.
-By the way, when will you take orders from here? It’s been a while since they came in and they haven’t given me any water.
ㅡWaister, buzz… … !
The quiet jokbal restaurant is crowded with people.
Literally at the doorstep.
People gathered so much that there was no room to move.
There seemed to be a different reason why people flocked together like this.
“Heeheehee♪”
The reason for the large crowd is Rayleigh.
I can feel the energy of electricity from this guy.
He said he was going to the bathroom and it seemed clear that he had done something.
“… Okay, now it looks like a restaurant worthy of its culinary skills.”
Rayleigh returns from the bathroom and looks around the store filled with customers with a proud expression. It was clear to anyone that Rayleigh had produced the results.
I don’t know what he did, but people kept flocking. So much so that a long line formed outside the store.
“Raylee? “What on earth did you do?”
“Kukukuk, it’s no big deal, man. “Maybe I just shared a little of the dragon’s energy with this store?”
“ha? “Is that possible?”
“huh-! All I did was make the store stand out a little with my flashy power of lightning. “Did I do well?!”
A guy who raises his head with a bright smile.
He clings to me, asking me to pat his head.
I didn’t know exactly what I did, but
It seemed like the dragon’s energy had influenced the restaurant, just like it did at the Duninda Tonkatsu restaurant last time.
“Okay, good job. “It’s pretty good, right?”
“Hehehe! Good mood.”
ㅡCrack, tap… !
‘huh? static?’
When I lightly stroke his head, static electricity sparks and makes Rayleigh’s head float. It seemed clear that this thing had imbued the power of lightning somewhere and returned.
“Sister Rayleigh? Well, I’m not sure what happened, but… thank you!”
“Heh, what can I do with just this much? “It’s my reward for being treated to delicious food.”
Rayleigh says, rubbing his nose.
You must have been proud to see Sorim’s reaction.
He looks really childish as he smiles brightly and his hair gets messy due to static electricity.
“It’s amazing… … . “Thank you for listening to Sorim’s request.”
“Hehehehe..! “Do you feel good that even you are praising me?”
Riley’s smile makes me smile too.
In the past, this would have been unthinkable.
It seems like just yesterday that I had a bloody hand-to-hand fight with Sophia in the dormitory to have me all to myself.
I was wondering if I could just keep Sorim in check,
I never thought such a heartwarming sight would be created.
Rayleigh’s growth was also growth, but it might have been impossible if it weren’t for Sorim’s friendliness.
“Thank you so much! My aunt, although it may not seem like it on the outside, she has been having a really hard time due to debt recently… … .”
-Come on!
Sorim immediately hugs Rayleigh.
Thank you for granting my wish.
This time, there were tears in Sorim’s eyes.
“Wow..! hey! Sue, I’m suffocating! Why is the magical power bag so unnecessarily large for a human being?!”
“Oh, sorry. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen this crowd of people, so I didn’t realize it… … .”
Rayleigh quickly widened the distance as if he didn’t need the woman’s hug. Although he grumbled on the outside, he didn’t seem to dislike Sorim’s expression of affection that much.
If I really hated it, I would have fainted from Rayleigh’s electric shock as soon as my body touched it.
“Hmm..! Don’t like it too much. “My strength will only last for about a month at most.”
“Well, that…” … ?”
“Don’t worry too much though. “With your aunt’s skills, I think we can use this opportunity to make a lot of regular customers.”
It was just as Riley said.
Of course, the taste of food is important in the restaurant industry, but
The number of customers who consistently visited was more important than anything else.
So, no matter how delicious your food is, you can’t make money if you don’t have customers.
ㅡWow… ! The pig’s feet here are really soft?
ㅡUgh..! I’m craving a drink!
-Is delivery possible here?
ㅡDoes it taste better when you eat it wrapped? Garlic, ssamjang, and chives! like this… … !!!
Was it because the taste of pig’s feet was guaranteed?
The response from guests was generally positive.
But not everyone was satisfied.
-By the way, when will our table come out?
-That’s right. Is the boss the only employee?
-Boss! When will the soju served here?!
-Look at this~!!!
Customer satisfaction was short-lived.
Soon, one by one, complaints begin to erupt.
People’s complaints were no different.
The order processing speed was too slow.
It was something that could not be helped.
The only person working in the store is the owner.
Probably because of debt, they didn’t have enough time to hire people.
“I’ll give it to you in a hurry! Everyone, please wait a little bit… … !”
My aunt shouts while cutting meat in the kitchen.
She shouts as she cuts meat in the kitchen.
He looked busy, either processing orders or receiving customers.
Although they were processing orders fairly quickly based on the experience they had accumulated over 20 years, it seemed like they did not have enough workers to handle the sudden increase in customers.
This probably won’t work.
I just can’t watch quietly.
I can’t let you miss this rare opportunity.
“Shaolin? “Maybe we should help you out?”
“huh? No, Jihoon, I alone can help you! “I’ve helped you a few times.”
“Is it enough on your own? “It looks like you’re busy in the kitchen and need someone to manage the hall, right?”
“That’s right, but I feel sorry for you… … .”
“What is there to be sorry about between us? “You worked hard all day for us too, right?”
“that’s right! that’s right! “I’ll help you too!”
“Lee, Sister Rayleigh… … ?”
“I don’t know anything else, but I can help you with carrying the food?”
Rayleigh agrees with me and rolls up her sleeves.
-Drurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
I stood up with Rayleigh.
There was no time to sit and chat anymore.
Seeing the constant influx of customers, I felt like I had to move right away.
“During this time of noise, let’s help out a little more.”
“I agree with what you said!”
“Mo, everyone… … .”
***
ㅡTap-tap-tap-tap!
Seong Ji-hoon’s quick movements separate the bones and flesh cleanly.
It was my first time handling pig’s feet, but
It wasn’t that difficult for him.
Because it was a body with accumulated experience and knowledge from the beginning.
Handling a knife is a piece of cake for him.
“Shaolin? “Please take this to table 13.”
“okay!”
“And Riley? Please bring some drinks to table number 9. “I told you I’ve been waiting a long time, so my aunt said I’ll provide you with some service.”
“Just leave it to me!”
Seong Ji-hoon skillfully assists in the kitchen.
He even cut the meat and took care of the orders.
He was not only in charge of the meat kitchen, but he also handled communication with the hall skillfully.
“Warm mom… ? What kind of bachelor is so good at cutting a knife? “Where did you learn to cook?”
Jeon So-rim’s aunt was just stunned to see him like this. She flatly refused help, saying she could handle the kitchen on her own, but as soon as she saw Seong Ji-hoon’s skills, she had no choice but to keep quiet.
‘… ‘A real fortune rolled in like a vine.’
As the speed of meat coming out of the kitchen increased, customer complaints naturally decreased.
“You guys over there~! “The food comes out quickly, so can’t we just eat this and wait?”
“… Yes? Kid, do you work here by any chance?”
“huh! Please tell my grandmother I’m sorry she’s busy. So, relax and wait a moment. got it?”
On the other hand, Rayleigh, in the form of a girl, was helping serve. In particular, she was using her younger appearance to win over angry customers.
It was rare for a person to get angry at a small girl who was offering her service and making cute gestures. Of course, doing so would only make that person’s fate worse.
“Hmm… ! “If you run a business, you might need a little extra work!”
“It’s a pig’s trotter restaurant run by a grandmother and her granddaughter… … .”
“This is so salty I can’t say anything… … .”
“Tsk, since you provided service, why not wait a little longer?”
The effect of Riley’s input was tremendous.
Customer complaints are quickly suppressed.
Guests who seemed like hungry wolves are transformed into gentle sheep in an instant.
“It’s 53,000 won. thank you!”
Jeon So-rim was in charge of the counter as well as serving.
The effect of increasing manpower was enormous.
It won’t be long before the turnover rate revives.
Even though the number of workers has increased by three, the store is running smoothly.
At that point, the store had been running for about two hours with perfect chemistry.
“… sorry. “As we run out of ingredients, our business ends here today.”
Jeon So-rim announces the closing of business to additional customers. And that was three hours earlier than the original deadline.
It was as she instructed. Thanks to the influx of customers, all the pig’s trotters and bossam were sold out early.
“Hey, this is the first early deadline I’ve had in a while… … ?”
Jeon So-rim’s aunt was just dumbfounded. It was surprising that customers flocked in, but everyone rolled up their sleeves and helped as if it was natural.
“Everyone worked hard. If it weren’t for you guys, it would have been a really big problem… … . Thanks to you, I survived. “Thank you all so much.”
She was still looking at Seong Ji-hoon and Rayleigh with an expression of disbelief.
“Your aunt has worked hard too.”
“Huh? Is it over already? “It was quite fun.”
“Jihoon? And Riley? Thank you so much for everyone’s help. And your aunt?! “Come here and take a look at this!”
Sorim, who was finishing paying at the counter, calls everyone together. Pointing your finger at the POS machine screen.
[ Total sales: 3,119,500]
“Wow, this is the amount of money I haven’t seen in a while… … ?”
“Auntie, do you think this will be enough to pay off all the rent owed next month?”
It was amazing for a sales increase in just 2 hours. Even though we didn’t prepare a lot of meat, it was still like this.
It seemed obvious that if the store was run normally, sales would double.
“… … .”
Jeon So-rim’s aunt could barely speak.
ㅡUgh… !
All I did was pretend to wipe my sweat and wipe my tears. She looks at Seong Ji-hoon and Rayleigh alternately with a silent, satisfied expression.
“… Did you say Jihoon? Please tell me your account number before you go. “I will pay generously for your trouble.”
“no. “It’s no one else’s business, so of course I had to help.”
“Yeah, but I got a lot of help… … .”
“It’s really okay. Rather than that, first select people again. “It will probably be very crowded for a few days.”
“Huh… … . “He is a kind-hearted young man that is hard to find these days.”
“yes? “Isn’t our Jihoon cool?”
Jeon So-rim hangs on Seong Ji-hoon’s shoulder with a proud smile.
“They are a really good pair.”
“Right, right-?!”
“So, Shaolin?”
“huh? “Why are you calling me Aunt?”
“When are you guys going to have a ceremony?”
“yes… … ?”
“Let’s cool down quickly. I’ll tell my brother-in-law and sister well. got it?”
