    Chapter 10

    After a busy day, everyone returned to the room with their suitcases to wash up and rest. In a blink of an eye, the next day came.

    At 8:30 a.m. capital time, the guests gathered in the living room one after another.

    After a day of getting along, everyone gradually became familiar with each other and no longer had the restraint of the first day. In the large living room of the villa, some people had just finished their makeup and were eating breakfast, while others had finished cleaning up long ago and were leisurely holding coffee and reading the daily news on the light board.

    “Good morning, am I late?” Xia Zhou asked in a low voice as he looked around the living room after coming down the stairs.

    “It’s not too late. Those who are really late don’t have to make makeup yet.” Duan Xianzhi came out of the kitchen with a cup of coffee and answered Xia Zhou’s question, “Breakfast is warming in the kitchen. You can get whatever you want…”

    After taking a bowl of soy milk from the kitchen and two steamed buns from the pot, Xia Zhou returned to the dining table and was about to start eating when he suddenly found Lingling motionless on the sofa in the living room.

    “What’s wrong with him? Did he not sleep?” Xia Zhou asked curiously, looking at Lingle lying down with a pillow covering his face.

    “It’s probably because he didn’t sleep well, maybe he didn’t adapt to the new environment…” Following Xia Zhou’s gaze, Duan Xianzhi understood clearly, and then whispered, “I woke up this morning and his bed was already empty. I don’t know if he rested in the room at night… You can take a look after eating.”

    “Okay!”

    After quickly finishing breakfast, Xia Zhou came to the living room quietly.

    Squatting in front of the sofa, Xia Zhou gently patted the pillow on Lingle’s face and said in a gentle tone, “Lingle, are you okay?”

    “Huh? Zhouzhou, are you here?” Half asleep and half awake, Lingle seemed to hear Xia Zhou’s voice, so he took off the pillow in a daze.

    “Is it okay that you haven’t rested? Do you want to give you some quick counseling?” Looking at Lingling’s sleepy appearance, Xia Zhou asked softly.

    The sound of the machine running, the water running in the washroom, the various footsteps of the staff, in addition to the roommate, and the various movements outside the house were like a symphony of ups and downs, one after another, torturing Lingle until four or five o’clock before he reluctantly fell asleep in the living room for a while.

    “Well…”

    After hearing Xia Zhou’s suggestion, the sleepy Lingle stopped thinking and directly grabbed Xia Zhou’s left hand, covered his eyes, and then slowly closed his eyes.

    Time passed little by little, and the living room was filled with a warm atmosphere, until a lively voice broke in.

    “Oh! It’s broad daylight and everything is clear! What are you doing!”

    After finishing his makeup, Ji Chenshi appeared in the living room full of energy and looked at the two people on the sofa in shock.

    “Tsk.”

    Gently holding Xia Zhou’s hand, Lingle flew towards the yelling person with a stab in his eye. However, the other person was not afraid of him, but became even more provocative.

    “Oh haha! I’m so angry when I expose you! Why, your wake-up anger is quite strong. Do you rich people have a template or something? Master, the average person is equipped with wake-up anger… Hey, why are you grabbing my collar? Didn’t your wake-up anger dissipate?”

    Ji Chenshi, who was halfway through the provocation, was carried into the kitchen by Duan Xianzhi like a cat being pinched by the scruff of the neck. “Breakfast, hurry up and avoid provoking Xiao Le. I can’t save you if you anger the sentry.”

    “Tch, Xia Xia is here, handle it~” Although he kept mumbling, Ji Chenshi, who was very honest, had already picked up the spoon obediently.

    Seeing Li Le getting up in this room, the staff immediately responded, “Teacher Ling, can you touch up your makeup a little bit? It’s mainly about your hair style. Just touch it again.”

    “I know, I’m going to wash my face.” Although he was irritated by being woken up, Lingle would not anger others at will.

    The time came to 9:30, and the recording of the program officially started.

    “Good morning everyone! Today is another full of energy day. I am your love observer Xiao Luo. After a night’s rest, I believe everyone is ready to go. Without further ado, let us directly reveal today’s theme!”

    “Remember the seafood festival we mentioned yesterday? Your task today is to run a food stall for one night at the seafood market tonight. The ingredients are limited to all kinds of seafood that can be purchased in the market. There are no restrictions on types and forms. There is only one goal, that is, the turnover must reach the standard!”

    “Our goal is to achieve a turnover of 8,000 credit points. Once completed, penalties can be avoided. If the task is exceeded, it will be used as a reward and distributed to everyone in the next event.”

    “Then the rest of the time will be allocated by everyone. As for the suggestions from the program team, we hope that everyone will provide specific plans and staffing in the morning. After the program team has reviewed and approved, we can enter the preparation stage, such as the purchase of ingredients, the layout of the venue, etc., and finally the actual practice in the evening.”

    “Okay! The rest of the time will be left to everyone!”

    As the rules were read out, Luo Yan waved his hand, the floating light screen gradually appeared, and the light board was handed to Shen Xuan.

    “Then, let’s start the discussion?” Looking at the light board and digital pen in his hand, Shen Xuan was a little unsure.

    “I’ll sort it out.” Han Wenxuan said as he reached out to take the equipment.

    “Okay, first of all, let’s decide what to do. Do you have any ideas about setting up a stall?” Looking at the rules board aside, Shen Xuan asked the first question.

    “I think this mainly depends on the opinions of the chefs, because we won’t do something that we can only think about for a long time, but in the end it will be troublesome, or it won’t be done, and it will be in vain!” Duan Xianzhi continued following the topic introduced by Shen Xuan.

    “I agree with what Zhizhi said, because in terms of turnover, as long as the market has enough traffic, Zhizhi and I will definitely be able to recruit people for soliciting customers. After that, the reception and production time…oh, will there be a need to arrange seats or something?” After hearing Duan Xianzhi’s speech, Ji Chenshi immediately catered to him, and he started to act imaginatively as he spoke.

    “It is not recommended to have a seated one, but the priority is to take away the food directly, because considering the popularity of the two, I am worried that the security of the program team may not be able to manage it.” Pei Yifan gave his own opinion on Ji Chenshi’s idea.

    “Oh, let’s see what the two chefs think. Is there anything fast and delicious?” Everyone’s attention turned to Xia Zhou and Chu Yue. After yesterday’s cooking challenge, their status in the team has been improved to a certain extent.

    “Hmm…barbecue ones. For seafood, barbecue ones are quite convenient.” Xia Zhou replied thoughtfully, recalling the types of snacks he had encountered at the market.

    “Barbecue, barbecue is good, how about we do Teppanyaki! We can make Teppanyaki squid, or octopus balls or something like that!” When talking about barbecue, Chu Yue also came up with an idea.

    “It seems that everyone has some ideas about the format of the food stall, so Xiao Luo will briefly interrupt here. In terms of dishes, according to yesterday’s game rewards, the program team will also provide corresponding recipes. If you have relevant needs, you can give feedback to the program team!” Listening to everyone’s thoughts, Luo Yan on the side also followed up in time.

    “Well, as for the dishes, Xia Zhou and Chu Yue will perfect them. Then let’s take a look at the rest of the staffing. There are two chefs, two solicitors, and two assistants…”

    “Teacher Shen, we have a proposal here.” After a brief discussion with Xia Zhou, Chu Yue had a new idea, “That’s it. Xia Xia and I did a simple calculation. If it is just a simple Teppanyaki profit, it may be a bit reluctant. I feel that we should enrich the variety, such as adding some drink combinations. This will not only increase the customer price, but also relieve greasiness and improve the customer experience.”

    “Okay, then Lingle and Lao Pei will make the drinks, while Han Lu and I will help out and be responsible for packing, cashiering, restocking and other chores.”

    In this way, after some discussion, everyone came up with a rough plan.

    The food stall is in the form of seafood teppanyaki, with dishes such as sizzling squid, steamed scallops with garlic vermicelli, spicy teppanyaki shrimp, fried clams with sauce, garlic butter crab legs and cheese baked crab legs. The drinks are hand-made lemon tea and grapefruit orange sparkling water.

    The personnel were assigned to Xia Zhou and Chu Yue for food production, Lingle and Pei Yifan for drink production, Ji Chenshi and Duan Xianzhi for soliciting customers, and Shen Xuan and Han Wenxuan for help.

    The compiled plan was submitted to the program team, and a reply came soon.

    The equipment was all provided by the program team, and everyone who received the task started their own section.

    After receiving the recipes, Xia Zhou and Lingle stayed in the villa and started making the dishes. Ji Chenshi, a top player who played with hot topics and traffic, became the person in charge of quality control, giving comprehensive suggestions for improvement from the perspectives of taste, packaging, and film production.

    On the other side, Duan Xianzhi, Shen Xuan, and Pei Yifan came to the stall for on-site inspection, while Chu Yue and Han Wenxuan came to the seafood market to inspect and select the ingredients.

    At noon, everyone who inspected the site returned to the villa and began to give feedback on the issues collected.

    At the dinner table, everyone was talking to each other, and in this way, all aspects of the entire food stall were gradually perfected.

    In the afternoon, they were divided into three groups. Some people went directly to the stalls to decorate, while others arranged to go to the market to purchase, and then transferred the ingredients directly to the stalls.

    In the villa, after getting started with all the dishes and grasping the approximate delivery speed, Xia Zhou and Chu Yue also set off to the stall.

    Seeing the decent stalls in front of him, Xia Zhou looked around curiously.

    “This stall is well set up. It’s a bit interesting. Have the ingredients arrived? I’ll go take a look…” Looking at Duan Xianzhi who was busy at the stall, Chu Yue asked about the situation at the scene.

    “It’s in the building. The building at the back is also a place rented by the program team. The ingredients are placed in the freezer on the first floor.” Duan Xianzhi was busy assembling in his hands, raised his chin and motioned to the two of them, “Oh, by the way, Xia Xia, go find Brother Pei. He said to go find him when you come.”

    “Brother Pei?” Xia Zhou tilted his head in confusion, and then walked towards the small building.

    In the small building, various staff members were busy going back and forth, and the monitoring equipment of the director team was also piled aside.

    As soon as Xia Zhou stepped into the building, a cold breath swept over him instantly.
