Chapter 279
It wasn’t until five days later that the customers started coming back.
After those five days of forced break, Wei Zhongqi had to move twice as fast as usual just to keep up. The flood of customers was relentless. Taking orders, cooking, serving—he could have used ten more hands, and even then, it wouldn’t have been enough.

“Yeah, yeah. What is it this time?”
