I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 350 The “store manager” from ancient times?
"It's not a good habit to threaten customers. Fortunately, the manager went upstairs, otherwise you might be punished." Ling Yiguang said gently.

There was a hint of mockery in He Yuelian's eyes, "So I have to thank you?"

"You're welcome."

No matter how bad He Yuelian's attitude was, Ling Yiguang just didn't respond. His gentle smile made people feel like a teacher facing a naughty student.

He Yuelian was extremely angry, but she really had no way to deal with the supernatural light.

"If you have time, Mr. Zhang, please confirm the dishes. We can prepare them in advance, but I hope they are all common dishes. After all, my cooking skills are limited."

Tong Qian came over and interrupted the confrontation between the two.

Ling Yiguang glanced at her and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

He Yuelian snorted coldly and said nothing more, but the look in her eyes was very unfriendly.

Lin Yuan was not clear about what happened on the first floor, or in his opinion, Ling Yiguang was He Yuelian's tutor after all. With He Yuelian in charge, the atmosphere should be harmonious, so he naturally didn't need to worry about it.

He found Zhang Bohua on the second floor and walked into the room filled with the smell of Chinese medicine, which surprised Zhang Bohua: "How come Boss Lin has time to come here?"

The room was filled with the smell of Chinese medicine, but within this smell, there was also an unconcealable stench of decay, as if a dead body had rotted there.

Lin Yuan did not smell the second kind, nor did he feel any discomfort.

On the contrary, as soon as he came in, he felt his body relaxed a lot, and there was a sense of relief that made him feel very comfortable.

"Mr. Zhang, do you know anything about biotechnology? The life span of a person who had surgery to become a gorilla forty years ago is almost up. Is there any way to extend his life span?"

What?
Zhang Bohua's hands trembled, and he almost tore off his beard. "Boss Lin, you are putting me in a difficult position. I am just an old Chinese doctor, and I don't understand the new technology. But since his life span is almost over, there should be no cure."

Lin Yuan nodded. This answer was similar to what he thought, and it was also the reason why he did not push He Yiner to Zhang Bohua before.

Zhang Bohua was a little surprised, "Why did Boss Lin suddenly ask about this?"

"You know about Da He. Her grandfather He Liansheng had a biotechnology surgery forty years ago and turned into a gorilla. I just went to Taiping Town to see him. Grandpa He's skin is loose and his hair is white and dry, but his spirit is still normal. He should be at the end of his life. I felt a little sad for a moment."

Taiping Town?
Zhang Bohua understood, "Boss Lin cares about his own people."

"Well... let's not talk about this." Lin Yuan didn't want to continue discussing topics like life and death. That was too far away for him. After all, he still had to live for decades. "Mr. Zhang, my condition has improved, thanks to your medicine. But you still have to pay attention to Xiao Liu's condition. Her condition is still very serious. She got sick last night when I asked her to work the night shift."

Zhang Bohua said helplessly: "The treatment of this disease is a long process and requires gradual recuperation."

"I understand. Chinese medicine is usually slow to take effect, but it can cure the root cause. That's why I didn't go to Dajing City to find Professor Wang Xiaoming, the Western doctor."

Thinking of Wang Xiaoming, Lin Yuan couldn't help but think of the ghost catcher Lao Fan and the domineering boss Xiao Fang. The relationship between these three people was too complicated.

Hey!
If Lao Fan wasn't a long-time employee of the store and Xiao Fang didn't have a lot of resources, Lin Yuan really wanted to fire them all to prevent them from bringing in some bad habits.

After chatting for a while, Lin Yuan said goodbye and left, which made Zhang Bohua frown. "What is Boss Lin trying to do? He didn't say anything important. He just talked about some trivial things. Did he think I'm too idle here and wanted to find something for me to do? I'm already so old..."

Zhang Bohua's voice suddenly stopped. His family was originally a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, but later they became ghost masters.

It is true that a doctor cannot treat himself, but he is indeed much better at controlling his own condition than ordinary people. He had been busy doing some things before, leaving more resources for his female apprentice who was looking after the house in Zhongjiang City so that she could live longer. It was then that he suddenly realized something was wrong.

"My condition seems to be much better than when I first arrived at the hotel... Mr. Meng is right. Peace Hotel does have the effect of nourishing the human body. It even makes me look a little younger. Is this also the supernatural power of the store manager? If it can have such an effect on residents like us, then what about the store manager himself? He has such supernatural power and such terrifying strength. Is he really a person of this era? He can't be an old monster from somewhere..."

Time passed and it was soon time to get off work at six o'clock.

Old Qin drove the ghost bus and completed the third trip of the day at 5:30, delivering two evil ghosts and also taking away the spiritual light.

Chen Qiaoyang stood at the bus stop, watching the ghost bus drive away with envy, and then walked dejectedly into the white fog - he was still trapped in Wang Chaling's old house, trapped in a certain timeline in the past.

If it weren't for the supernatural advertisement of the "store manager", he would have no chance to come out for a walk, and now, he only has one supernatural advertisement left.

There were only Old Qin and Ling Yiguang on the ghost bus, not even a ghost.

Ling Yiguang sat near the driver's seat and looked out the window. "The last time I rode in a car you drove was seventy years ago."

Mr. Qin did not answer, but just drove calmly.

His "work" for the day was almost over. He would just drive the car to the yard of his home in Dajing City, get off the car, and go to work early tomorrow morning.

Ling Yiguang didn't mind and said to himself: "Dajing City, ZS City, Dahai City, the store manager's ghost domain is gradually invading reality. Maybe it will take a year, maybe ten years, and reality will be shrouded in the store manager's white fog ghost domain, even if it's only at night, but it will exist in the form of a game."

"If you think about it carefully, it's actually quite good. Let the ghost rider enter a real city in a limited time through the virtual game in the e-sports room as a player to deal with supernatural events in the city. This can minimize the danger. Even if you die in the game, it is not a real death. It's a very good model. Even ordinary people who die in the game will restart at the end of the game and return to the beginning of the game. But what about those who died before the game started?"

Ling Yiguang turned his head and looked at Qin Lao's old face calmly without saying anything else until the ghost bus returned to reality and stopped.

Mr. Qin let go of the steering wheel, stood up and got out of the car.

"You are dying."

Ling Yiguang suddenly said this, and finally made Qin Lao stop at the door of the car, "So?"

Ling Yiguang's lips curled up slightly, "Can you still see the future? You... No, it should be the future you chose, but now it has been ruined."

At this time, Old Qin finally turned around and looked at the spiritual light seriously. His voice was old and hoarse, "You are really smart. You are worthy of being his son."

Ling Yiguang frowned slightly, but soon relaxed. Before he could speak, Old Qin said, "I went to see your father yesterday."

Ling Yiguang's pupils suddenly shrank, and his eyes stared at Old Qin.

But Mr. Qin didn't say anything else. He got off the bus directly. Then the door of the ghost bus slammed shut. After restarting, it once again broke through the boundary between reality and the supernatural, and entered an unknown supernatural place with the supernatural light.

At the same time, Meng Xiaodong also returned to the Peace Hotel with a basket of vegetables, and resumed his life of going to and from work, just like in the previous few months.

Lin Yuan just fed two bones with shredded meat to Lao Hei and Lao Hua.

The two guard dogs were not polite at all and had very good teeth. They chewed the bone, which was as thick as an arm, into pieces and swallowed it in no time.

The main feature is to eat voraciously.

Meng Xiaodong came back and saw this scene. "The two dogs raised by the boss are really majestic."

"It's okay, Granny Meng, you're back. Everyone is getting ready to eat, let's eat together." Lin Yuan had a little pride on his face. Lao Hei and Lao Hua were really his pride.

It is so strong and majestic, able to guard the house, does not have to do much, and does not eat much. Where can you find such a dog?

However, one must be reserved. If one is too arrogant, others may become jealous of him and try to trip him up in secret. Lin Yuan understands this very well.

"Okay, then I'm welcome."

Meng Xiaodong was really not polite to Lin Yuan.

As the first of the Seven Elders of the Republic of China to live in the Peace Hotel, and also the first long-term resident on the second floor of the Peace Hotel, Meng Xiaodong had a relatively clear understanding of Lin Yuan's temper.

As long as it doesn't hinder Boss Lin from making money, then it's all fine.

At this time, in addition to He Yiner, Li Qingzhi from Caesar Breeding Farm and Zhang Bohua from the second floor were all sitting at the table eating together.

Meng Xiaodong suddenly asked: "Aren't there guests on the second floor? Don't they have dinner?"

What she was talking about were, of course, the four people in the e-sports room: Cao Yang, Zhang Lei, Li Leping and Zhou Deng. They were all in the e-sports room and had not come out.

Meng Xiaodong had just returned, so he was not clear about it. However, others, especially Tong Qian, knew the reason very well.

The cost of a night's accommodation in the e-sports room is three ghosts, and the game is doomed to fail. Another ghost is needed to eat the next morning, which means that at least four ghosts are needed to stay overnight.

Although Cao Yang and his men are quite powerful and it is generally quite easy for them to imprison evil spirits, there are too many uncertainties in supernatural events.

No one knows whether a seemingly ordinary supernatural event may hide an extremely terrifying ghost.

Therefore, ghosts are a scarce resource, so we should save them as much as possible.

If Tong Qian guessed correctly, the four people were eating bread in the room on the second floor.

In room 211 on the second floor, Zhou Deng put down the half-eaten bread and stood up suddenly. "You are reluctant to spend money on the meal, why do you have to drag me along?"

He is a big spender, but he has to hide in his room and eat dry bread when playing games. What's wrong with that?

Li Leping said expressionlessly: "We are not stopping you, but you have to think carefully. We are doing a group activity now. If you leave, it means you don't want to team up with us."

Unable to form a team, with Zhou Deng's strength, it will be much more difficult for him to gain points in the game.

It would be fine if there was no points mode, since we can’t pass the level anyway, so who’s afraid of who? But now that there is a points mode, the importance of teamwork is greatly enhanced!
Especially for people like Zhou Deng.

"You, you, you...you are threatening me?" Zhou Deng's eyes widened. He didn't expect that the first person to speak would be the introverted man Li Leping.

Of course, this is his evaluation of Li Leping.

And he never said it out loud, otherwise who knows whether Li Leping would attack him.

As a wealthy man, how could he fight with poor guys like Li Leping?
Cao Yang and Zhang Lei also finished their bread and put away the packaging bags. "I haven't heard of any major supernatural events happening today, and I don't know what the prototype of tonight's game will be."

"It doesn't necessarily have to be a large-scale supernatural event. Didn't they use the Caesar Hotel directly in Zhongjiang City last time?" Zhang Lei's tone was a little awkward.

That was the first time he pushed his strength to the limit in the game. He thought he could kill everyone, but in the end he was killed by Li Qingzhi with just a few strikes. They were simply not on the same level.

That is why Zhang Lei still remembers it until now.

Of course, he now remembered one more place, that was Dahai City. The level of terror he added through his own supernatural powers was even higher, but he was still buried without any temper.

Really!

Sometimes he couldn't help but think in his heart: "I obviously have two terrifying ghosts, why am I so useless? Am I wrong, and am I really that bad?"

"I think that virtual games should be based on things that happen in reality. This time is no exception. Perhaps a supernatural event has happened somewhere that we don't know about. If this is true, then virtual games may very well become a channel for us to quickly resolve supernatural events, and the danger level is also low, at least there is no risk of death." Zhou Deng thought seriously for a rare time.

Cao Yang shook his head. "You haven't participated in many games, so you don't know much. We haven't completed any of these rounds. The bosses in each round are very scary, and we are basically unable to deal with them. Unless, as we said at the beginning, we ask the store manager to lower the difficulty of the game."

"Don't make blind guesses. You will know the situation after entering the game." Li Leping closed his eyes and rested. He wanted to adjust himself to a perfect state before the game started.

Cao Yang and Zhang Lei looked at each other, stood up and said, "Then let's go back to our rooms."

"Me too... hey hey hey, don't pull me, I can walk by myself!"

As soon as Zhou Deng opened his mouth, Cao Yang and Zhang Lei took him out on the left and right, and each went to their own room, waiting for the virtual game to begin at night.

Dinner on the first floor was also over.

After Xiao An and Xiao Xi helped clean up the table, Xiao An sat behind the cash register. Apparently she was on duty tonight.

But Tong Qian and Liu Qingqing were still staring at each other.

Lin Yuan took a look but didn't get involved. Instead, Meng Xiaodong, who was sitting nearby and didn't go upstairs immediately, asked, "Boss, why don't you go ask?"

"It's just a small matter at work at night. If they can't coordinate it themselves, then I will step in. But then, I will definitely punish them."

This is Lin Yuan’s real thought.

In his opinion, it was just a question of who would prepare dinner in the evening. They didn't even need to stay tuned by the phone because Xiao An was there.

Judging from the current night takeaway sales in the store.

There is a high possibility that there will be no orders for the whole night. If someone answers the phone, Tong Qian and Liu Qingqing may be able to sleep all night without any problems.

And everyone comes in turns.

At most, Liu Qingqing will suffer a loss and need to summon a robot, but she can also summon the robot in advance.

It's a very simple matter. Would you be at a disadvantage if you're on duty first, and gain an advantage if you're on duty later?

The most important thing is that Liu Qingqing doesn’t have any position now. She is just an ordinary employee and the original cook. But Tong Qian has been promoted to executive chef?

Besides, Liu Qingqing was on duty all night last night. It would be really unreasonable if Tong Qian couldn't even handle this matter.

This is true.

Looking at Tong Qian who looked embarrassed, Liu Qingqing crossed her arms and squeezed out a deep arc, her pretty face full of mockery, "You are the head of the kitchen. In principle, Fang Shiming and I are both under your charge. Why, I was on duty last night, and you want me to be on duty tonight, and from what you said, you want me to be on duty all the time in the future? Are you sure you are not joking?"

Tong Qian said seriously, "I know this is a little unfair, but I really can't live in the store, I..."

"It seems that Brother Yuan is too good to you."

Liu Qingqing interrupted Tong Qian forcefully. Her eyes, which had only recently become more relaxed, were once again filled with sarcasm. "I don't want to reason with you anymore. I've said everything I can. You're not stupid. It's impossible for you not to understand. Anyway, I won't be on duty tonight. If you're not satisfied, you can go to Brother Yuan and complain about me."

"I……"

Tong Qian's face was full of struggle.

Of the four chefs who first entered the Peace Hotel, except for her, the other three had stayed at the Peace Hotel.

Among them, He Yuelian and Liu Qingqing are the most popular. They basically treat the Peace Hotel as their home and live in the hotel every day.

He Yin'er lives in Taiping Ancient Town and has her own home, but she also stays in the store from time to time.

Only her.

She is the only cook who has never lived in the store for even a day, and it is precisely because of this that Liu Qingqing hates her.

Obviously, at the beginning, they were still friends who could chat with each other.

Tong Qian looked lonely, but soon she became firm, "Okay, I'll cook dinner tonight."

Transitioned?

Liu Qingqing was a little dazed. She knew the reason why Tong Qian didn't want to stay in the Peace Hotel.

According to the headquarters' speculation about the Peace Hotel, as long as you enter the Peace Hotel, you will be invaded by the supernatural power of the "store manager" and will develop a liking for the "store manager".

If you just come here to eat and chat, the impact will be relatively low and almost negligible.

But if you stay in the store for a night, you will be greatly affected and may even become a puppet of the "store manager" in the end.

You can refer to He Yiner.

As one of the earliest ghost riders to join the headquarters, He Yiner is a veteran leader who is very responsible, hard-working and positive.

As long as it is news from the headquarters and is related to supernatural events, she will actively deal with it. She is one of the most relied-upon persons in charge at the headquarters!

But now?

He Yiner put all her heart into the position of "store manager" and she lost interest even in the identities of the person in charge and team leader of Ohara City.

If it weren't for the headquarters' repeated attempts to retain her, He Yiner would probably have resigned from all her positions and would have been working peacefully in the Peace Hotel as the manager of a fish pond with no business.

That's why.

Tong Qian was extremely resistant to living in the Peace Hotel. Even though Cao Yang and others started to stay in the hotel, she never stayed there once.

To prepare takeout in the evening, I would definitely have to stay in the store. How could Tong Qian agree so easily?
really.

Tong Qian came to Lin Yuan and said apologetically, "Boss, I will be in charge of the takeout tonight. But can I go home and rest? If you need me, I can come back in the shortest time possible, definitely not more than ten minutes."

Lin Yuan frowned, obviously not expecting Tong Qian to come up with such a solution, and was obviously a little dissatisfied.

Tong Qian pursed her lips and said, "Boss, don't worry. If I can't serve the food on time, you don't have to pay me this month."

Liu Qingqing behind him suddenly realized something, and looked at Tong Qian as if she was looking at a deeply hidden...fox.

really.

When Lin Yuan heard Tong Qian say that he could do without salary, his brows relaxed unconsciously, and he was obviously very interested in Tong Qian's proposal.

even……

Cough!

"It's not that serious. But since you took the initiative to bring it up, let's do as you say. After all, you are the person in charge of the kitchen now. Even if you can't say what you mean, at least you must do what you say at work. Do you understand?"

Then, Tong Qian left the Peace Hotel happily.

"Brother Yuan, Tong Qian did it on purpose. She wants to go home and be lazy. You can't be fooled by her." Liu Qingqing was unhappy and ran to Lin Yuan to act coquettishly.

Don't even say it.

When it comes to acting like a spoiled brat, Liu Qingqing is definitely the best among the four chefs. She also has another personality, the one that is as proud as a queen...

Lin Yuan's expression changed for a moment, but he quickly adjusted himself. At the same time, he introspected in his heart: "Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan, have you forgotten your goal of making Peace Hotel the best hotel in the world? Women will only affect the speed of your opening of a store!"

So Lin Yuan pulled his hand out and said with a straight face, "Go and have a rest."

"Brother Yuan..."

Liu Qingqing pursed her lips and went back to the second floor unwillingly.

Meng Xiaodong smiled and said, "This girl is actually quite good. Boss, are you really not going to consider her?"

"Forget it. Now is not the right time. Besides, I'm still young and there's no need to rush. Granny Meng, you haven't come upstairs yet. Do you have something to tell me?" Lin Yuan asked.

Meng Xiaodong nodded. There were not many people in the store at this time. The outside of the store was completely shrouded in white fog, and even the bluestone path could not be seen clearly.

Li Qingzhi also held a hatchet and stood at the stairs to the second floor.

The Peace Hotel will become very dangerous and scary after six o'clock, but that is after the "manager" takes a rest.

Meng Xiaodong didn't dare to stay in such an environment for too long, but, "Boss, I want to ask about Luo Qian. He... was brought back by you, right?"
