Max woke up earlier than usual to head to the restaurant. He saw a ssage from Nina when he checked this morning. His best friend thanked him for helping her father and said good luck.
At first, he thought the good luck he needed was limited to preparation like yesterday. Maybe it would be a bit busier with his viewers coming to the restaurant after seeing his post, just like when he promoted the restaurant for the first ti in the past.
However, he was wrong. No, he just underestimated his influence. An average view of 1K and 15K was way too different. The scale just couldn't be compared.
"Holy!"
When he arrived at the street where the restaurant was located, he noticed a long queue and imdiately hid himself. Thankfully, he wore a mask and chef's clothes he bought last night, so no one noticed that it was him.
"What the hell?"
The line was so long that he couldn't even see the restaurant. At a glance, there were more than 100 people waiting already. And he was sure it would just increase more than this.
'Shit. What should I do? No, would we be able to handle them? I should go to the restaurant through the backdoor for now.'
Thinking so, he used an alternative way to reach the restaurant. He imdiately entered and found Chef Rush standing in the kitchen.
"Chef!" Max called out to the large man, "Outside."
"I know." Chef Rush replied calmly without showing any panic. "There is a line. I have called both Kevin and Anna to work early today. They will bring extra ingredients, too. In the anti, read the recipe on that table and learn it. Unfortunately, I have no ti to teach you today.
We will learn on the fly."
The instructions were clear and precise. Max nodded and began to read the recipe. At the sa ti, he set the action cara and strapped it to his chest. The wireless microphone was clipped on his collar. He was ready to livestream anyti and just needed to start it.
'Let's see.' He mused while reading the piece of paper. A little bit traditional, but it might be put this way to avoid a leak of the secret recipe to the internet. 'There are 3 dishes Chef Rush wanted to teach , huh? The Hell Noodles, Rush Noodles, and Gentle Noodles.'
The na was based on the ingredients used and how spicy they were—starting from the spiciest, Hell Noodles to the least spicy, Gentle Noodles. Rush Noodles was a specialty of the shop and was the most common one.
'Why did he only teach 3 recipes? I rember there are many in the nus.' Max wondered as he squinted his eyes.
At that mont, Chef Rush explained it.
"We will only serve those 3 dishes today. There is not enough ti to prepare a variety of dishes when we handle a lot of custors, so I cut down the nu. Side dishes like Char Siu will be served as usual. They are already prepared in the fridge and you just need to torch them."
That made sense.
"Yes, Chef."
Everything went fast after that. The waiter and waitress, Kevin and Anna, arrived with extra ingredients from the backdoor. The waitress recognized Max and greeted him before preparing to open the restaurant with Kevin.
Chef Rush imdiately took the new ingredients and worked on them while Max learned the recipe. 5 minutes before the restaurant was open, the large man called out to him.
"Boy, try to make one. You can start your livestream or whatever now, too. I will give you 1 minute to start it."
"Got it!"
After getting permission, Max set up his livestream. He looked at the screen and made sure his voice and the cara took everything.
Once he did, he started it, and viewers began to flock. Because this was still morning, only around 6K viewers jumped right into it in the first minute.
"Morning, guys! Can you hear ?" He greeted them as he walked to his station to make the first noodle.
— Nice and clear!
— Is that kitchen I see? Chef Breeze is on duty!
— Yo, morning! When will the restaurant open? I've been waiting in line for 20 minutes now!
— 30 minutes for ! Hehe, I snatched the first spot!
— Woah, look at that chef cutting the vegetables! He's full of muscle and so tall. His hands also move so fast lol
— Impressive. The kitchen is so clean. I will go there after eating breakfast.
— What's the use of it? lol. Why eat before going to the restaurant?
"It will open soon. For now, I will make the first noodle." He said and began to work, creating the noodles first from the fresh dough.
So were already cut, but he wanted to show his viewers that everything was made and prepared by the restaurant and not bought from the supermarket. A certain group didn't want to eat processed and frozen food, only preferring the 'fresh' ingredients they could see.
'I bet so only wanted to eat animals that they saw alive too. Well, not my problem, but I need to do this to appeal to more people.'
After turning the dough into noodles, he boiled them and prepared for the spice. He added them into a bowl and stirred it with hot oil before putting the ready noodles in it. The process was easy because all the preparations were finished.
When the noodles and the spices had been mixed, he added broth, spring onions, aroma oil, and chicken to finish the dish. Because it was the first dish he made, he made sure the plating was perfect and showed it to the cara.
"It's done! Rush Noodle with chicken cutlets!"
— Oooh, it looks good
— The broth looks so red. Is it spicy? I can't handle it
— Mother hell, I want to eat that!
— Mom, make one like that!
— Now I am hungry. Having spicy food for breakfast is gonna train my stomach!
Max nodded in satisfaction as he managed to follow the recipe. He saw Chef Rush approach him and look at the noodles before taking a spoon and sipping the broth.
The atmosphere was tense. Did he ss up the spice? Why does Chef Rush stay silent after tasting it?
A second later, the chef took a chopstick and slurped the noodles. He chewed slowly and surely, making sure the texture was correct.
After a while, he humd and nodded firmly.
"We can serve this to custors." The chef said. He turned to Max and patted his shoulders. "I am counting on you, boy."
Hearing that, Max bead with a smile. It was a small accomplishnt of just putting everything together, but he was happy to be praised and acknowledged.
"Thanks, chef!"
— Breeze is complinted!
— Good for you, Breeze
— Damn, the chef's voice is so deep. I am trembling in fear
— That is what you call a man. TRUE MAN!
— Sohow, I beca tense when Breeze was waiting for the judgnt. Good thing he passed!
— h, just putting everything together is easy.
— Easy? Try to do it in front of that chef. I bet you will be trembling in fear and unable to move!
The chat burst with fever like usual. Max didn't read them and continued his preparation. The front area was ready, and Kevin told the kitchen that they would open the restaurant soon.
Max was ready. He was confident he could take all orders without any problem.
"We're opening it!" Anna's voice was booming from outside as they opened the shutter.
Once the sign was turned open and the door was unlocked, the people from outside began to enter like a stampede and filled the area. Orders began to arrive without stopping.
War had begun.
"Alright! I will feed you guys until full!"
