Although Uncle Chen's restaurant was remote, he had quite a number of customers. They were his old acquaintances and foodies of Xing Yin County.

People had to make appointments before coming, or they could be turned away. After all, this was a hobby for Uncle Chen, and he didn't really need customers. He had a rule, which was only to receive two tables of guests per meal, so only four tables per day.

On this day, another group of regulars came to Uncle Chen's place.

Uncle Chen grumbled, "You old farts, I already told you I would only serve four tables per day. If you want to come, you have to make an appointment. But you come daily without making an appointment and then refuse to leave until I cook for you. Do I owe you people or something?"

Yuan Hongjun said, "Chen Dafu since you only serve four tables a day, we know you're very free. We came to give you a chance to exercise your arms. You should thank us!"

Uncle Chen scolded with a smile, "As if! I'm already busy with four tables. But you people came to drink tea, chat and play chess. You only add to my workload. Why don't you go back home and cook for yourselves? It's a perfect exercise!"

"We don't have your cooking skills." Qian Aiguo said with a smile.

"I can teach you." Chen Dafu sneered and said, "You people are too free anyway. Cooking is a good exercise."

"But cooking requires talent." Yuan Hongjun said, "And we don't have that talent. My wife told me that even pigs wouldn't eat the things I cook. Speaking of, the dishes we have these days are different from before. They were simple vegetarian dishes, but they had a great aftertaste."

"Yes, they taste amazing. They are sweet and fragrant. They might be the best vegetables I've ever eaten." Qian Aiguo said.

"I agree with you," said Yuan Hongjun.

"Come on, Chen Dafu, we've been eating your cooking for decades, but we have never tasted such delicious vegetarian dishes before. Where did you get your new source of vegetables?" Yuan Hongjun asked curiously.

"That's right, where did you get them?" Qian Aiguo said curiously, "I want to buy from your supplier. I won't steal your business, I promise."

Chen Dafu snorted coldly and said, "As if you can steal my business from me!"

"Ol Chen, you should buy more of these vegetables in the future. Consider the extra as your purchase for me." Yuan Hongjun said shamelessly, "Or you can tell me where you get the vegetables, and I can go buy them myself."

Qian Aiguo also smiled and asked, "Ol Chen, I'm of the same mind as Ol Yuan."

Just as Chen Dafu was about to say something, he saw Xiao Lingyu come over. Chen Dafu immediately smiled happily and said, "Lingyu, you're here."

Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "Uncle Chen!" She looked around and realized there were more customers than usual. Xiao Lingyu had been to Uncle Chen's a few times, but every time, there was only one table of customers. This was the first time she saw the place full. Then again, the restaurant only had two tables.

"Lingyu, so nice to see you!" Auntie Chen walked over happily when she saw Xiao Lingyu.

Xiao Lingyu glanced around Chen Dafu's restaurant and said with a smile, "Auntie Chen, Uncle Chen, you have very good business today."

"These are just some old friends." Auntie Chen said, "Lingyu, you should sit here first." Auntie Chen pointed at a small table that could only seat two. She reserved it for Xiao Lingyu and Jiang Tao, or else it would have been taken earlier.
