The small group of eight people looked at the decoration of Li's restaurant and chatted enthusiastically. They all seemed to be variety show fans and knew the origins and changes of Wang Gaoming's variety show series well.

"Want to help order?" Chen Sihua ran out.

“We don’t have a menu yet…”

"Ah, haven't you given the menu yet? Sorry, I'll get it right away..."

Chen Sihua was so busy that she made a mistake. She apologized repeatedly and ran back to the restaurant to get the menu.

In the kitchen, orders were being taken, plates of bell pepper soup, and portions of fried chicken were being brought out. It wasn't until the supply of fried chicken ran out that Li Yichen and Wu Xiayong had some free time.

After standing in front of the oil pan for a long time, Li Yichen's face turned red from the heat, but everyone was busy all the time, so his wish to take a sip of ice water could not be realized.

"It can't go on like this..."

Li Yichen secretly observed the busyness in the lobby again, turned around and said to Peng Cheng, "Why don't you stop washing the dishes and go outside to help. The lobby is too busy for two people."

"What should I do with that bowl?" Peng Cheng asked.

"I'll wash it for a while. Brother Yichen, will you arrange the dishes?" Wu Xiayong said.

"Okay, let me change it."

Li Yichen took over Wu Xiayong's work and temporarily freed Peng Cheng.

With Peng Cheng's help in the lobby, Chen Sihua and Ye Linsen were greatly relieved and hurriedly processed the accumulated drink orders.

"Wow, this fried chicken is so delicious."

"It's really delicious. I really want to come here tomorrow."

"I don't know if the restaurant will be closed after the show or if there will be takeout."

"It shouldn't be open. Li Yichen is really good. He can learn whatever he wants."

"Besides fishing..."

"Haha, except fishing."

"In the episode where I caught the rocks, I burst into tears laughing."

"The episode where the show crew slept together in the courtyard was the best. My grandma asked me at that time why they had to sleep in the courtyard instead of having a house. I said they lost the bet, and then my grandma recited something. 'Do evil' at night."

"It's so funny that I fell into the trap in that episode."

Customers ate fried chicken and chatted about life.

The unexpectedly delicious food at Li Restaurant, the simple yet delicate environment and the relaxed atmosphere here all make guests feel more happy.

At [-]:[-] p.m., as the last table of customers checked out and left, Li Restaurant finally ended its war-like first opening.

"Clap clap clap..."

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone."

"It's over."

"closed."

The five people cheered twice, but they couldn't hold it any longer and quickly found the nearest seat to sit down.

"Oh, my whole body is falling apart. I really feel like I'm in a new world."

"Hiss... my waist hurts. Does your waist hurt?"

"It hurts, and my feet are weak."

"Brother Yichen, are you soft?"

"No, it's hard."

Li Yichen leaned over and tapped his calf. After standing for nearly four hours, his calf was a little sore and numb.

Chapter 252 Possibilities

Li Yichen and the other five hadn't eaten yet. After resting for a few minutes, they ate some soup and rice left in the pot to fill their stomachs. Then they went back to the staff dormitory and took a nap together. They walked to the hotel again before 04:30. The restaurant starts its evening business.

Tables of customers came in with smiles and left satisfied, taking some souvenirs with them.

The two hours of business hours passed quickly.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The difficult first day of business is finally over.

Li Yichen put the remaining chicken in the freezer, then worked with Wu Xiayong and others to clean the restaurant, took the day's income, locked the restaurant door and left.

On the way back to the staff dormitory, the five exhausted people were speechless. The scene was completely different from the scene at work in the morning.

"For a moment, I suddenly thought, what am I doing?"

Li Yichen suddenly felt something in his heart.

This is a customary exclamation.

After the first day of recording of every variety show, Li Yichen can always miraculously realize the three ultimate questions of life.

who am I?

where am I?

what am i doing?

"..."

The only response to Li Yichen was the sound of "rustling" footsteps.

Everyone was tired, as if all the strength in their bodies had been taken away, and they didn't even want to speak.

"Whoops"

"Ouch"

Returning to the staff dormitory, the five people all moved in unison, lying on the floor stretching and groaning, staring at the ceiling blankly.

There was silence for several minutes.

After all, Li Yichen had more experience, so he came to his senses first and asked: "Order takeout?"

"Order takeout."

"I don't want to cook."

"Take a bite or two."

"sleepy."

Chen Sihua and Ye Linsen agreed and slowly regained some energy.

Li Yichen quickly ordered what he wanted to eat, then handed the phone to Peng Cheng beside him and asked him to order what he wanted to eat.

Now he finally understood why chefs usually didn't cook at home, because they really couldn't muster the energy to cook.

After everyone ordered takeout, Li Yichen struggled to get up and went to take a shower first. When he came out after taking a shower, the takeout was just delivered. It was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

"We just did statistics and found that you received a total of 102 customers today and sold 64 pieces of fried chicken."

"The total income is 5950, the expenditure is 2957, and the profit is 2993."

Wang Gaoming brought his own takeout and beer and joined Li Yichen and his friends at the table.

"Why are the expenses so high?"

Li Yichen was surprised that the gross profit was actually less than 50%, which was far from the expected 30%.

"There is too much waste. You prepared 100 portions of fried chicken, but only sold 64 portions. And these..."

Wang Gaoming raised his hand and made a circle, indicating that the takeaway ordered by Li Yichen and the others would be counted as expenses.

"What should we do? We have prepared too much. We will prepare 100 portions of fried chicken tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." Wu Xiayong said worriedly.

"The rest from the sale tomorrow and the day after tomorrow can be blown up and given to the neighbors."

"good idea."

……

In the blink of an eye, two days later, the recording of "Li's Restaurant" was unexpectedly successful. Although the program team stipulated that no photos could be taken in the restaurant, it did not prevent those lucky viewers from posting photos of the restaurant's exterior and their wonderful feelings on their social accounts. To show off openly and secretly.

At noon on Monday, April [-]th, Li Yichen finished the recording of "Li's Restaurant" and finally returned to TVETT.

"Yichen, Minister Wu is looking for you."

"Oh."

Li Yichen stood up again after sitting at his workstation for a few minutes.

"dong dong"

"Enter."

Li Yichen opened the door and entered Wu Changshuo's office.

"Minister, you are looking for me."

"Well, sit down and let me have a chat with you. How was the recording of the new album?"

"It went smoothly." Li Yichen smiled.

Wu Changshuo stared at Li Yichen's smiling face, and soon he also smiled.

"It seems that the Propaganda Department can no longer keep you."

"minister……"

"Okay, stop saying 'I'm going to die in the Propaganda Department'."

Wu Changshuo interrupted Li Yichen.

"Actually, you know it yourself... Think about last year, when you knocked on the door and came in, I asked you to report to Wang Gaoming, but you were still a little reluctant... I didn't expect that you would become famous in a variety show..."

"I didn't expect..."

"Not only did you not expect it, but we also didn't expect it. There is no such precedent in Dongchuan..."

Wu Changshuo paused and suddenly smiled: "No, someone should have thought of it..."
