After Lin Cheng finished his tasks in the kitchen, he came out and saw Lin Momo sitting quietly behind the cashier, huddled up with her head buried. He didn’t know what she was doing.

Lin Cheng thought that Lin Momo was depressed because of the shock of what happened just now. He walked over and was about to touch her head to comfort her when he heard Lin Momo muttering something he couldn’t hear clearly.

“What are you doing?” Lin Cheng asked doubtfully.

“I’m memorizing the menu,” Lin Momo said seriously.

In Lin Momo’s opinion, the guests left just now must be because she was not familiar with the business and did not entertain them well.

Learning from her first experience, Lin Momo found a piece of paper and wrote down the menu of the dishes their family could make. At this time, she was trying to memorize these.

After Lin Momo finished speaking, she continued to lower her head and memorize the menu. As if she didn’t want to be disturbed, she even twisted her body to the side.

On the side, Lin Cheng, who was purposely ignored by his daughter: “…”

… …

After a while, another wave of customers came to the store.

Judging by their appearance and clothing, they should be young people working in nearby companies.

“Are you open?”

“Yes,” Lin Momo nodded. After the last ;defeat’, she seemed a little timid this time and instinctively lowered her voice, saying, “Our food is very good. It’s delicious, the portions are sufficient, and it’s hygienic. Do you want to try it?”

“What kind of dishes are there?” The customer looked around the store, but didn’t seem to see a menu on the wall.

“There are a lot of vegetables, including stir-fried cabbage and stir-fried green vegetables… meat dishes include fish-flavored shredded pork, kung pao pork… soups and other dishes…” Lin Momo said a series of names of dishes without pausing for breath. 

The diners were stunned for a moment.

“There is a menu here, you can take a look.” Lin Momo ran back to the cashier and took the homemade menu and handed it to several people.

“This menu is quite special.” The diner looked at the menu in his hand and chuckled.

Although this handwritten menu was not professionally made, Lin Momo carefully painted small flowers on the menu as decoration, which looked a bit cute.

“Besides what you said, are there any other dishes?”

“Also… well, there is also meat slice soup, green pepper shredded pork… and noodle soup. Our noodle soup is very delicious. If you want to eat it, it can be done.” Lin Momo tried hard to recall the dishes that their family could make.

Finally, Lin Momo had an idea and simply brought several guests to the freezer where the ingredients were refrigerated. She pointed at the freezer and said to them, “All our ingredients are here today. You can look at the ingredients here to see what you want to eat and you can order it.”

Although it was a move born from desperation, Lin Momo’s ordering method made several diners interested.

“This is a good way to order food. No one on this street has offered orders like this before,” one person said.

A few people nearby also nodded. “Haha, yes, I’ve eaten something similar to this in Shanghe City before. It’s quite interesting.” 

“This eggplant is quite fresh. Let’s have some fried eggplant with sauce.” 

“There are also pork ribs. Then let’s have some salt and pepper pork ribs.”

“Let me take a look…”

Several people looked at the ingredients in the refrigerator while naming the dishes they wanted to eat.

Lin Momo took a small notebook beside her and carefully wrote down the dishes ordered by several people.

“Okay, that’s all.”

There were five guest diners, and they ordered a total of five dishes and one soup.

“Okay, please wait a moment.” Lin Momo brought them to their seats and ran into the kitchen with excitement on her face while holding a small notebook.

“Dad, this is what the guests ordered!” Lin Momo handed the names of the dishes to Lin Cheng, still excited about making her first business.

Lin Momo suddenly thought of something, and she looked at Lin Cheng uncertainly. “Dad, can you make the ‘salt and pepper pork ribs’ and ‘crispy sweet and sour pork’?” 

Lin Cheng glanced at the note and said very frankly, “Nope.”

Lin Momo: “!!!”

… …

At this time, the audience in the livestream channel also began to become active.

[I’m most afraid of the sudden silence of the air…]

[I’m sorry, forgive me for laughing unkindly. ]

[When the customer was ordering just now, I was wondering if Lin Cheng could make some dishes like ‘salt and pepper pork ribs’. Sure enough…] 

[I can’t make it anyway. ]

[After checking it, it seems quite complicated.]

[What should they do?]

… …

At this time, Lin Momo also wanted to ask, ‘what should we do?’

She was so excited about receiving a customer’s order just now that she forgot to ask Lin Cheng if he could do it.

Seeing the girl’s stiffened look, Lin Cheng smiled, patted her on the head and said, “I can try.” 

“Okay…”

Lin Momo walked to the dining area to greet the few guests. She poured tea and looked at these people, feeling a little guilty.

“Um… older brothers and sisters, my dad said he can try making the ‘salt and pepper pork ribs’ and ‘crispy sweet and sour pork’ you ordered. If it doesn’t taste good, I—, then we won’t charge you for it.” 

After a pause, Lin Momo asked in a small voice, “Is this okay?”

Because she was afraid that these guests would leave, Lin Momo felt a little nervous.

Seeing the child’s nervous look, several people waved their hands indifferently and said, “It doesn’t matter. Just cook it first and let’s try it.” 

“Okay.”

Lin Momo thought about it and gave these nice people another plate of peanuts.

T/N: Salt and Pepper Pork Ribs (I love this!)

Crispy Sweet and Sour Pork (it’s called GuoBaoRou or Guobao Pork, similar to sweet and sour pork but is said to be crispy and more delicate)
