At this moment, Yu Xinyan felt extremely cheerful, like her heart was soaring with excitement. With this space, she’s surely on the path from bronze to a champion.
Watching the various fish swimming in the space stream, Yu Xinyan’s mind quickly started to become active.
She remembered that just outside the factory gate, less than three miles toward the city, there was a town market with a state-run restaurant. The chef there loved fresh ingredients. She wondered if she brought over a few fish, whether they would take them.
Although there is also a state-run restaurant inside the mechanical factory, she temporarily didn’t want to attract attention from people in the factory.
Now, with the existence of the space, her future life at least had some support.
Next, she just wanted to quickly handle the relationship with Lyu Juncheng, that scumbag, find a place to settle her household registration, and then find a school to peacefully prepare for exams.
Thinking about those matters, it didn’t affect her stride.
When she was almost there, she pulled a handful of grass from the roadside, took out two black fish and two catfish from the space, each weighing about two pounds, and headed straight to the state-run restaurant.
It was such a coincidence that the restaurant kitchen was having a heated argument, with Chef Master Zhang ready to throw in the towel and leave.
Manager Lu quickly stopped him: "Master Zhang, calm down, it’s indeed wrong what my nephew did. I will figure out a way to find fresh ingredients. You know, we can’t afford to offend the guests at those tables tonight. Can you please just help me this time?"
Master Zhang wasn’t trying to make things difficult, but Manager Lu’s nephew had gone too far. He had said that the fish in the water bucket were reserved and needed for the evening, but in the blink of an eye, the fish were gone. Now, when they need them, they find there are no fish in the bucket.
But the guests had made reservations here just for Master Zhang’s culinary skill and specifically ordered fish, so this situation was tricky.
Master Zhang looked at Manager Lu: "At this point, where can you find ingredients?"
Manager Lu was full of worry: "We have to try anyway."
He also knew it wasn’t certain they could find anything but couldn’t just do nothing. He thought: He could only try his luck at the black market.
As he was about to head out, Song Wenjuan, who was in charge of collecting money and tickets in front, ran in, so excited that she could barely speak: "Manager, fish, there’s someone, someone delivered fish."
The people in the kitchen heard this and all looked toward the door simultaneously, but the cloth curtain hanging at the door to the front hall blocked the view.
Manager Lu pushed aside the people standing in front and jogged out. When he saw Yu Xinyan standing there with the fish, his face was full of excitement, and he couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief, thinking: These fish for saving the day really came just in time.
There were not many guests on the first floor at that time, as those who had ordered in advance had gone up to the second floor as soon as they arrived.
Yu Xinyan saw that there weren’t any customers in the store, which is why she came in to ask if they bought fish.
Manager Lu walked up with a smile, carefully looking at the fish in Yu Xinyan’s hand: "Miss, your fish are really fresh."
Yu Xinyan replied with a smile, "Just caught from the Yuquan River, they’re still alive."
Manager Lu glanced at the door: "Miss, let’s talk inside. Some guests will come in to eat soon."
Yu Xinyan had been waiting for him to say this. Although it was much better now than a few years ago, no one dared to blatantly trade. She had intended to go to the back door to ask, but someone was renovating a house there, blocking the road to the back door with construction materials.
