After Emma's online promotion and the comments of the incognito food critic before, Lin Zitan's small instant noodle shop was really beautiful for a while, and the turnover in one month reached the turnover of a super-large Japanese restaurant in other states in the hottest season.

Li Manrui invested 100,000 yuan in the restaurant back then, and it took more than a year to get the capital back, and Lin Zitan's restaurant was free of charge because the rent of the shop was free, in addition to paying water, electricity and gas, and deducting all other costs and expenses of the company, he could make a net profit of 60,000 or 70,000 yuan a month.

Although this little money may be a small income compared to Lin Zitan's huge industry, it is already very good when the economy is so sluggish, and the most important thing is that this small shop has brought a lot of joy to Emma.

On weekdays, the instant noodle shop recruited two eldest sisters who were quick to pack, and Emma only needed to check the list and hand it over to the takeaway master.

Although she is very busy, she will water the flowers, make the grass, take a small video, and then send small snacks she made to different customers like a lottery in the last few orders.

The decoration of several other stores in Lin Zitan was also completed before Christmas, but because it was a long holiday, Lin Zitan decided to set the opening time after the New Year.

When the time comes, foreigners who are tired of eating mashed potatoes, potato wedges and french fries at home will definitely be excited about this bowl of hot instant noodles!

------------------------

During the Christmas and New Year period in 2020, the epidemic situation in the United States has finally improved on a large scale, which is the main reason why people celebrate wildly.

After months of stay-at-home restrictions and the fear of the epidemic, people have not been able to get out for a good breath of fresh air for most of the year, so this year's Christmas, Times Square and Rockefeller Center Christmas trees were crowded with people.

Some of them remember wearing a thin mask, but most of them are like wild animals released from their cages, craving contact with the crowd, and they have a long-lost longing for this feeling of rubbing shoulders.

On Christmas Day, Lin Zitan held a small party in his home, inviting good friends who had not been able to meet for nearly a year to gather together, for the sake of the epidemic and the good luck of the new year.

"Congratulations, I didn't expect us to come back to life!" As soon as they met, Chu Feng smiled and congratulated everyone.

"Yes, at first, I only cared about worrying about the country, but who knew that in a blink of an eye, we would become the object of concern for the domestic people, and we had been worried for so long!" Xiao Cheng said unhappily.

"Alas, Xiao Cheng, no, aren't your parents both applied by you? Why are there still people in China worried about you?" Lin Zitan couldn't help but be surprised.

"I ...... I'm not afraid of your jokes, I talked about a girlfriend in China, and I just met on a blind date when I went back to pick up my parents, hehe, I didn't expect that person to be the youngest sister of my junior high school classmates, haha~"

After speaking, Xiao Cheng laughed embarrassedly.

"It's okay, Brother Xiao, you still have a foreign love, but now that the immigrants are suppressed, what will you do in the future, do you want to go back to develop?" Chu Fenggang was envious for a moment, and suddenly thought of the problem in reality.

"That's right, now this immigration application has been suspended by that old guy, I don't know what will happen next!"

"Oh, don't talk about those who are unhappy, everyone is happy, and it will always get better~" Chu Feng knew that he had poked Xiao Cheng's sore spot, and immediately smiled and mobilized everyone's emotions again.

"Steve, how have you been this year? New World opened its doors in early May, but the entertainment facilities have only opened recently, how are you doing, can you hold on?"

Lin Zitan walked up to Steve and Jason, the couple was still chatting with Ivani just now, but for a moment they were silently sitting in front of the fireplace and roasting their hands.

"I'm fine, it's a big deal that I've lost some money, Jason's father died while treating patients, and this kid has been in a bad mood lately. Steve said as he lifted his hand and stroked his subject's back.

"Well, that's right, I'm really sorry, please be happy. ”

Lin Zitan originally thought that the epidemic was far away from him, but the first time he heard that someone around him had a loved one died, he really didn't feel good.

"It's okay, there's always going to be someone who dies in this situation, if it weren't for Steve, I guess...... Now you're missing me!" said Jason, with a wry smile.

"He is also a doctor, so he can't escape the fate of going to the front line, but he is an asymptomatic infected person, if I hadn't left him at home in time to receive some Chinese herbal treatment from my father, like he said, we will remember him now!"

Steve's dark face showed a rare hint of distress.

"Cheers to all those who died in the epidemic and to all those who survived the epidemic!" Suddenly, Ivani held the wine glass in his hand and shouted at everyone.

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

In an instant, the atmosphere in the whole room became a little solemn.

"Ding Dong~" At this moment, the doorbell of Lin Zitan's house suddenly rang.

Emma looked at the crowd and couldn't remember for a moment who would be coming at this time, their party was almost halfway through.

"I'll go open~"

Lin Zitan stepped away, calmly walked to the door, and glanced at the surveillance, it turned out that it was his nearest neighbor Eric, who was late.

"Hi Bro~"

As soon as the door opened, Eric greeted Lin Zitan casually and handed him a bottle of valuable wine in his hand.

"You're the closest, but you're the latest!" Lin Zitan couldn't help but complain.

"Isn't it important to come so early, right, Manny?"

Eric walked into the crowd and found that he couldn't really name anyone except Manny and Lin Zitan.

"This is my neighbor and my good friend Eric, some of whom I should have met before, some of whom I have probably met for the first time. Lin Zitan hurriedly introduced it to everyone.

Lin Zitan, who originally thought that Eric would be taboo about same-sex L, didn't expect him to greet Manny as soon as he came in, so he finally carefully introduced Steve and Jason to him.

"Steve, did I see you somewhere!" Eric said with a frown as soon as he finished the introduction.

"Eric, is your mother a painting teacher?" said Steve.

"Well, it's really you? you seem to have learned to draw with my mother!" Eric finally remembered.

"Yes, but I was Miss Best's worst student and never drew according to what the teacher taught. Steve finally smiled.

"I didn't expect to meet you here!"

Eric was obviously impressed with Steve, who was a few years older than him.

"yes, but then Miss Best was transferred from Queens to a school in Manhattan, and I never saw you again. Steve said regretfully.

"Ahem, it's hard to put into words! She's not having a good life, she died not long after she moved to Manhattan, no, I've been guarding the upstairs room, but lately I've been trying to start my own life. Eric sighed.

"What, you have achieved a positive result with that little girl?" Lin Zi said at the right time.

"Little girl, which little girl?" said Eric, with a confused look on his face.

"Uh...... Could it be that my memory is confused, and I haven't seen you for more than half a year, what are you...... Someone changed?" Lin Zitan said embarrassedly.

"You also said that it has been more than half a year, I have met a beautiful woman in Florida in the past six months, personality, appearance, figure, are all according to my ideal type, the most important thing is that she also saved my life! hehe~"
