In 2019.

Summer.

Jingcheng Film Academy.

It's the annual graduation season again, and it's time for graduates to go their separate ways.

"Xuan'er, have you really decided not to be an actor?" Sun Tian looked at Lin Xuan and asked.

Lin Xuan nodded and said, "Yes, I'm going to go home to inherit my parents' music restaurant, and I'm not an actor." ”

"Xuan'er, you are the most talented student in our class, the teachers have high expectations for you, it's a pity that you are not an actor. Zhou Fan said regretfully.

"The unexpected death of your uncle and aunt hit you hard, we can understand it, but you can't give up your dream of being an actor. The last roommate, Chen Kai, also persuaded.

In the four years of college, Lin Xuan has always been a top-notch student in the school's professional courses, and his image is good, after all, he is a man known as the school grass of the film academy, and he can make many little girls unable to close his legs with just one face, and he has always been favored by all teachers, and they all agree that he was born to shine on the fluorescent screen.

But now this guy who has high hopes says that he is not an actor and wants to go home to open a music restaurant?

"A promising actor, is he going to sink like this because he was hit by the death of his parents?" Sun Tian and the three of them, as Lin Xuan's best friends, were all a little heartbroken and regretful.

Lin Xuan could feel the kindness and concern of the three of them, but he was very firm in his heart.

Because he is no longer the Lin Xuan he used to be.

That's right, Lin Xuan crossed over, three days ago to this person who was also called Lin Xuan.

In his last life, Lin Xuan was a third-tier star, he was alone at the age of eighteen, came to the capital, started as a bar singer, full of pride and ambition, and wanted to become a big star.

But God didn't fulfill people's wishes, and when he was thirty-three years old, he became a third-tier star, and he didn't become popular by singing, but gained some fame and attention by acting.

has worked hard in the entertainment industry for so many years, he has seen too many dark sides of the entertainment industry, experienced all kinds of involuntarily, experienced the warmth and coldness of people, felt very tired, and no longer longed to become a star.

During his years of hard work, he would relax by cooking in his spare time.

In the process, he found that he had a talent for cooking, learned to cook with several famous chefs, and had good cooking skills, and then he saved a sum of money in two years, and then decisively quit the entertainment industry, ready to open a restaurant, live a peaceful and comfortable life, and stay away from those bad things in the entertainment industry.

As a result, he had a car accident and came to this world.

After chasing his dreams for so many years in his previous life, he was really tired, and it happened that after the original owner's parents had an accident, he left a music restaurant, Lin Xuan wanted to open the restaurant now, and he didn't want to enter the entertainment industry.

"I understand your kindness, but I really don't want to be a star. Lin Xuan packed up his things, said hello to the three of them, and left the dormitory.

……

The music restaurant of the original owner's house is located on the most famous bar street in Beijing.

This is a paradoxical world, and the famous bar street in the capital of this world is not in Houhai or Sanlitun, but in a place called Tiannan Street.

The streets are full of culture, with a variety of music restaurants and small bars, as well as a variety of home-made brands and handmade jewelry shops.

The parents of the original owner are not from the capital, but are one of the vast foreigners who came to the capital to work hard when they were young.

Their music restaurant has been open for ten years, the first store was a rented house, and then the business slowly improved, they thought about buying the store, and it was a real place to settle in the capital, so they took out a loan to buy this store.

Housing prices in the capital are so high that the loan has not been paid off until now.

The parents of the original owner died of a drunk driving accident and overturned, and the funeral expenses cost another sum of money, and now, Lin Xuan only has 20,000 yuan in hand.

And Lin Xuan was carrying a loan of two million.

The most realistic problem in front of Lin Xuan now is to run the restaurant well to make money and pay off the loan first.

Although there are many loans, but they are paid in installments, Lin Xuan believes that with his own skills, he is enough to run a restaurant, and the store is his own, so he does not have to pay rent, which greatly saves costs.

Although Lin Xuan has some pressure, he believes that as long as the restaurant business is good, everything is not a problem.

……

After graduating and returning home, Lin Xuan immediately began to clean the store, buy all kinds of necessities, and began to prepare to open the store.

After all, with a debt of two million, Lin Xuan had to make money as soon as possible.

During this period, Lin Xuan received calls from many people one after another.

There is a phone call from a domestic cutting-edge literary film director who cooperated with the original owner during his college years;

There is a phone call from the drama director he has been participating in during his college years;

There was a phone call from his university's homeroom teacher, who was also the head of the acting department of the film school;

There were also some other classmates who had a good relationship with him......

The news spread from Lin Xuan's roommates, and they learned that Lin Xuan had decided not to be an actor, so they called him one after another to persuade him.

Lin Xuan expressed his gratitude one by one, but his attitude was very firm, saying that he really didn't want to be a star.

……

It took two days for Lin Xuan to formulate the menu, buy the goods, and everything was ready.

There are few people in the bar street in the morning and noon, and the traffic usually increases after five or six o'clock in the evening, so most of the shops open in the evening.

On July 5, 2019, at five o'clock in the afternoon of Friday, Lin Xuan's restaurant officially opened.

Lin Xuan stayed quietly in the store, waiting for customers to come to the door.

By half past five, the flow of people in the bar street gradually increased.

A middle-aged man saw the open door of Lin Xuan's restaurant and walked in.

"Yo, Kobayashi, when will your restaurant reopen, which chef will you invite. The middle-aged man greeted with a smile.

Lin Xuan's restaurant has been open for ten years, and naturally there are still some old customers, who have accepted the memory of the original owner, this middle-aged Lin Xuan is very familiar with and is an old customer of their restaurant.

"It just opened this afternoon, Uncle Zhao, it's really a coincidence, you are the first guest, what do you want to eat?" Seeing the guests coming to the door, Lin Xuan smiled and hurriedly greeted.

"Well, what about your chef?" the restaurant was an open kitchen, and the middle-aged man glanced at it, but did not find the chef, and said a little puzzled.

"Well, I didn't invite a chef, I'll be the chef myself, Uncle Zhao, try my skills. Lin Xuan said with a smile.

"You're your own head chef?"

The middle-aged man's gaze at Lin Xuan was full of suspicion.

He is an old customer, knowing that Lin Xuan is a student of the film academy, what is he doing all day long acting in dramas, a student of the film academy, opening his own shop as a chef, isn't it a joke.

Can you eat the dishes you cook?

An embarrassed smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face, and said, "Oh, Xiaolin, I was passing by here just now, and I saw that your store is open again, so I walked in and took a look, in fact, the family has already cooked at home, so I'll leave first." Another day, another day I'll taste your craft. ”

"Hey......" Lin Xuan raised his hand, looking at the figure of the middle-aged man leaving in a hurry, a helpless smile appeared on his face.

Next, several old customers came one after another, but when the other party heard that Lin Xuan was the chef himself, they all cherished life and stayed away from pig food, so they all found an excuse to leave.

What made Lin Xuan helpless was that there were three guests who even made the same excuse.

I don't want to be distracted.

As time passed, the bar street became more and more lively, and the flow of people increased, and it was not that no one noticed Lin Xuan's restaurant.

However, when they looked in at the door and saw that the restaurant was empty, they all pouted and left, not even anyone who came in to inquire.

People have a herd mentality, and many people eat because they see which business is good, and they feel that the taste must be good, and sometimes they would rather queue up than go to the deserted restaurant next to them.

When the people who came and went saw the deserted appearance of Lin Xuan's restaurant, they instinctively felt that the taste must not be very good, and no one came to eat.

Lin Xuan became a little anxious.

Although he is confident in his cooking skills, he is also afraid of the deep alleys of the wine, and there is nothing he can do about it if no one comes in to eat.

Originally, Lin Xuan had been staying in the store, waiting for customers to come to the door, but now he couldn't sit still, and came to the door of the restaurant, looking at the crowded streets, thinking about countermeasures.
