Most of the customers shook their heads. “No idea. We’ve never heard of it.”

“I only know Stir-fried Pork Intestines.”

“Feels like it’s not a local dish.”

“…”

However, one customer in a white shirt said excitedly, “I know this dish. It’s a very famous dish from Lu Province. It’s one of the representative dishes of Lu Cuisine.”

After hearing this, the other customers all thought the same thing: ‘Just as I thought.’

They knew it probably wasn’t a dish from around Chuansheng Province.

So it was a famous dish from Lu Province.

‘Is the boss going to take on Lu Cuisine now?’

‘Not bad, not bad at all. This is great.’

Everyone was, of course, very interested in famous dishes from other culinary traditions.

They just wondered how this Nine-Turned Pork Intestines would taste. Would it be good?

Since it was one of the representative dishes of Lu Cuisine, it had to be delicious, right?

“It tastes great, it’s delicious. I went to Lu Province once and had it there. But the boss’s Nine-Turned Pork Intestines will definitely be even better,” the customer in the white shirt added.

The other customers completely agreed with him.

Even though Nine-Turned Pork Intestines was a traditional and famous dish from Lu Province, they knew that once the boss made it, it would surely be better than anything the chefs there could make.

The previous dishes, Chopped Pepper Fish Head and Longjing Shrimp, had already proven this point.

At this moment, Li You said, “You can’t really say that. Lu Province is full of master chefs. I might not be better than all of them.”

“You’re being too modest, Boss. We believe you’re definitely better than all the chefs in Lu Province.”

“If you had the best chef of Nine-Turned Pork Intestines from Lu Province compete with you, Boss, we believe you would be the one to win.”

“…”

The customers all said things like this. They had immense confidence in Li You now.

Li You offered a few more humble words.

Then, another customer asked, “Boss, when will you officially add Nine-Turned Pork Intestines to the menu?”

Li You replied, “Tomorrow. It’ll be officially on the menu tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow?”

The customers were all pleasantly surprised. The boss was really on the ball this time!

Excellent. Then they would have to come back tomorrow and have a proper taste. What did this traditional, famous dish from Lu Province really taste like?

Every single person was filled with anticipation!

In truth, not everyone in the group actually liked eating pork intestines.

In fact, people who liked pork intestines were in the minority.

Most of the customers were actually not fond of pork intestines as an ingredient. They could eat a little if they had to, but they just couldn’t bring themselves to like it.

However, if it was a dish made by Li You using pork intestines, that was a different story entirely.

Perhaps, even after tasting the Nine-Turned Pork Intestines, they still wouldn’t like it.

But for now, at least, they were extremely excited!

Everyone continued to eat, chatting about the Nine-Turned Pork Intestines.

Outside, the rain was still falling.

After finishing his meal, Li You walked out the door and sat down in his rocking chair.

Watching the heavy rain fall and listening to its sound, he felt an inexplicable sense of peace and comfort.

After the customers finished eating, those who had to leave did so, either opening umbrellas or putting on raincoats before heading out into the rain.

The customers who didn’t have to leave pulled up stools and sat down, joining Li You in watching the rain fall and listening to its sound.

A short while later, Li You saw a car pull into the parking lot.

It was a very familiar car. It seemed to be Xia Xiaoyue’s.

Just as Li You was thinking this, his phone rang. He took it out and saw it was a call from Xia Xiaoyue.

‘Then it must be Xia Xiaoyue’s car, no doubt about it.’

He answered the call.

“Boss, are you free right now?”

Li You had already guessed why Xia Xiaoyue was calling. He smiled faintly and said, “What’s wrong? Don’t you have an umbrella in the car?”

“Huh? Boss, did you see me arrive? Yeah, we don’t have an umbrella. It’s raining so hard. I didn’t expect it to rain this much today. Could you come get us?”

“Of course. How many of you are there?”

“Just me and Senior Sister Mu today.”

“Alright. Wait for me, I’ll be right over.”

“Okay. Thanks, Boss!”

After hanging up, Li You got up, went back into the restaurant, and grabbed an umbrella.

It was just Xia Xiaoyue and Mu Qingye, so one umbrella would be enough.

‘Three people sharing one umbrella, it’s perfect.’

It wasn’t that Li You was reluctant to grab another umbrella; it was mainly because he only had one.

‘Really.’

He walked out the door and opened the umbrella.

“Going to pick someone up, Boss?” a customer asked.

Li You nodded. “Xiao Yue and Mu Qingye are here. They don’t have an umbrella in their car, so I’m going to get them.”

‘Those two beauties are here?’

The customers were all pleasantly surprised.

Who wouldn’t want to see such youthful, radiant, and beautiful girls?

“But Boss, you only grabbed one umbrella. Isn’t that not enough? If you don’t have another one, I have one here. You can take it,” another customer said.

Li You cleared his throat, thanked the customer, and said that one umbrella was enough.

Then, he stepped out into the rain and walked toward the parking lot.

After Li You left, one customer said to the one who had offered his umbrella, “The boss obviously only wanted to take one umbrella. And you asked if he wanted to take yours? Wasn’t that a bit unnecessary?”

“But, three people sharing one umbrella, isn’t that really… HOLY SHIT! I get it, I get it now. I’m so dumb. No wonder I’m still single.”

“Sigh! I’m so jealous of the boss!”

“Day 101 of being jealous of the boss.”

“…”

All the customers in front of the restaurant were very envious of Li You.

Li You, out in the rain, was unaware of what the customers were thinking. He reached the parking lot and walked up to Xia Xiaoyue’s car.

He first went to the driver’s side, holding the umbrella to shield the outside of the door.

Xia Xiaoyue opened the car door and said, “Thanks, Boss. This is too much trouble. I didn’t expect it to rain so hard today.”

Mu Qingye, sitting in the passenger seat, also leaned over and said, “Thanks, Boss!”

Li You said, “It’s nothing, just a small thing. It’s just that I only have one umbrella, so we might have to squeeze a bit.”

“It’s fine, it’s fine, one umbrella is enough,” Xia Xiaoyue and Mu Qingye both said.

After that, Xia Xiaoyue got out of the car.

Although she was wearing a pair of relatively loose-fitting pants, her long legs were still incredibly alluring.

‘Such a perfect figure!’

After getting out of the car, Xia Xiaoyue stood pressed up close to Li You.

This was the first time she had ever been so close to Li You, and a blush couldn’t help but creep onto her face.

Li You closed the car door. Then, with Xia Xiaoyue, he moved over to the passenger side.

Mu Qingye opened her door, and a long leg extended out from the car.

She was also wearing relatively loose-fitting pants, and her leg was also incredibly alluring.

For them, they didn’t need tight pants at all to be utterly captivating.

After Mu Qingye got out, she also pressed herself close to Li You.

This was also the first time she had been this close to Li You, and her face also flushed with a hint of red.

The two of them, one on his left and one on his right, squeezed Li You between them.

But even though they were pressed very tightly together, the outer sides of their clothes were still quickly soaked by the rain.

Li You’s umbrella was a bit small.

But it was still much better than not having an umbrella at all.

The three of them slowly walked toward the restaurant.

The customers at the entrance watched as Li You walked through the rain flanked by the stunningly beautiful faces and perfect figures of Xia Xiaoyue and Mu Qingye. They were filled with nothing but envy.

‘That lucky bastard boss!’

When Li You and the other two walked over, the customers greeted them, “Hello, Xiao Yue! Hello, Mu!”

They all recognized Xia Xiaoyue and Mu Qingye.

“Hello, everyone!” Xia Xiaoyue and Mu Qingye both responded with a polite smile.

By now, the sides of their clothes were mostly soaked, which felt very uncomfortable.

Li You said, “Do you two want to go upstairs and take a hot shower? You can change out of your clothes and dry them with a hairdryer.”

Xia Xiaoyue and Mu Qingye looked at each other, both clearly tempted by the offer.

‘But… would that be a bit inappropriate?’

Li You shook his head. “It won’t be. There’s no one else upstairs. And I have new towels and bathrobes you can use.”

Xia Xiaoyue and Mu Qingye both nodded. “Then thank you, Boss.”

Li You said, “No problem. Come on, I’ll take you upstairs.”

“Okay, thank you, Boss!”

Li You led Xia Xiaoyue and Mu Qingye upstairs.

Watching the three of them disappear into the building, all the customers felt even more envious of Li You!
