Universe Infinite Canteen

After Hou Yihan left, it was also about time to open the restaurant.

He Xiaoqian cleaned up and opened the front door, and the people lined up outside immediately entered one after another, each finding a place to sit down.

Someone noticed that a table near the door had a "Reserved" sign on it and curiously asked,

"Huh, Boss Ma, since when could we make reservations in advance at your restaurant?"

"Not at all, you all know how fast the tables turn over here; reservations would just waste space."

As Ma Lu flipped through the "Compendium of Zero-Tier Spells", he replied.

He had already gone through a quarter of the book and still hadn't found out exactly what spell the female sorceress had bound to him, but he had learned quite a bit about casting spells.

"So, was this table available before?"

"No, someone has reserved it."

"What? But Boss Ma, didn't you just say reservations weren't allowed?" the diner asked, eyes widening.

"Yes, but he offered a hundred thousand," Ma Lu said, "A hundred thousand just for reserving a seat, not including the meal cost. What would you do if you were me?"

"Save him a spot?"

As the two spoke, other diners had begun to scan QR codes to order their food.

When they saw this week's new menu, exclamations were heard, mainly because the words "hair growth" were just too eye-catching.

Soon, someone joked, "Boss Ma, why is this week's main dish called hair growth cake? Don't tell me it can actually make hair grow?"

Ma Lu nodded, "Exactly, you understand it correctly."

"What?!"

"What?!!"

"What?!!!"

The restaurant was suddenly filled with cries of astonishment.

In modern society, not a few people are troubled by hair issues, not just adults but even teenagers have concerns about receding hairlines.

Hearing that this new dish could make hair grow, many people's hearts were immediately enticed.

And this was not the sweet talk of Tony the stylist and sales aunties at the roadside hair care salon suggesting you get a membership card; it was from the mouth of Ma Lu himself.

Especially for regulars of Universe Infinite Canteen, who had more or less personally experienced the magical powers hidden in the dishes.

Even faced with the sky-high price of 688 yuan for the cake, many people rushed to order, fearing that a second's delay would result in it being sold out like the previous Atonement Cake.

Seeing so many more orders suddenly appear on the backend, Ma Lu added,

"Let me clarify first, the hair grown from the hair growth cake can only last twenty days, so you better think it over before ordering. Those who have already ordered can also cancel within one minute."

"What, only twenty days?"

"Isn't twenty days a bit short?"

"Right, boss, is the hair growth cake also available for just one week like the other dishes before?"

"Yes," Ma Lu nodded affirmatively.

"Ah, so that means the hair that grows out can't ultimately be kept, it's just a false joy."

The diners, previously excited, felt as if a bucket of cold water had been thrown over them upon hearing this.

At this time, outside the door where Coconut Jelly was distributing game CDs, he joined the conversation, "Everyone can also come and play our Red Ridge.

"Next week, our game is going to update to version 1.1. We will optimize some of the areas that have received the most complaints, and the Pie Coupons dropped by monsters will be changed to Cake Coupons. Collect them, and you can come to Universe Infinite Canteen to buy Hair Growth Cake..."

"You're doing this again, boss?"

Before Coconut Jelly could finish, complaints filled the restaurant, "Why do we have to play a game just to eat, it's just growing some hair with only a 20-day effectiveness, it's not that useful."

"Exactly, exactly."

While people were discussing this vigorously, someone else walked in from outside.

Nowadays, Universe Infinite Canteen was famous, and it was attracting more and more diners, including celebrities, internet stars, and socialites. Just last week, He Xiaoqian had seen an Arab Crown Prince coming to dine accompanied by his ambassador.

Having served so many guests, He Xiaoqian wasn't as nervous as before, and most of the time she managed to remain calm; however, the three guests who appeared at the door still made her take a few extra glances.

The reason was that they were three monks.

The fat monk walking in the center wore a yellow monk's robe and had a long string of Buddhist beads around his neck. He looked dignified, and behind him followed two young monks in gray robes, one of whom was holding his robe.

The person walking shoulder to shoulder with the fat monk was also familiar to He Xiaoqian—it was Boss Yang. He owned a real estate company and had invested in many other sectors, making him one of the wealthiest regulars at Universe Infinite Canteen.

He was usually surrounded by a crowd wherever he went, with an assistant specifically to carry his bag.

Boss Yang generally had a haughty air about him when dealing with most people, but this time he was quite polite to the fat monk, even pulling out a chair for him personally.

"Come, come, Master Hui De, please take a seat. You've had a hard day. I must tell you, I've been eyeing that piece of land for a long time, but the two competitors who previously got the land both went bankrupt, which was a bit ominous. I wouldn't dare to start work without you performing this ritual.

"You've come all this way, and I definitely can't let you down. This restaurant may look small, but the taste is absolutely beyond reproach; otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people lined up outside. I reserved a table a day before and even the reservation fee alone cost me one hundred thousand yuan."

The fat monk nodded slightly, "Mr. Yang, you're too kind."

"No, no, no, I should be the one thanking the master. Master, if there's anything specific you want to eat, just tell me. I've told the boss that we can specifically prepare vegetarian meals for you and the two apprentice monks today."

The two young monks seemed quite tempted by this, but they heard the master say, "Indulging in fine food and overeating can lead one to evil paths. Mr. Yang, no need to trouble the chef. We'll just have whatever is on the menu."

As he finished speaking, one young monk quickly scanned the QR code on the table only to discover that there were only four dishes on the menu, which slightly startled the fat monk, making him doubt his own eyes.

This restaurant indeed didn't look very big, but it wasn't small either. The Sand County Snacks next door had a two-page menu, so why were there only four dishes here.

But since he had already spoken, it would be awkward to change his request now. So, pointing to the appetizer and Hair Growth Cake, he said, "Then we'll just have these two."

"The Hair Growth Cake isn't available," Ma Lu shook his head.

Boss Yang, also a regular here, knew about the daily limited offers, thinking the Hair Growth Cake had sold out, so he slapped the table quite generously.@@novelbin@@

"If the master wants it, I'll add another hundred thousand yuan. Boss Ma, please think of a way."

"No, it's not a matter of money."

"Two hundred thousand!" Boss Yang declared bravely.
