Chapter 8: The Crisis of the Restaurant
"Attention everyone at the restaurant, now I want to tell you two news, one is bad news and the other is slightly worse news, which one do you want to hear first?"
The consultant teacher drank the green tea that the lotus core made for her, and leisurely announced the chairman's message.
"Is there any news that is a little better?"
Yunyue asked tentatively.
"Slightly worse news is good news for you than bad news."
The advisor paused and said:
"First of all, you have to be glad that you caused such a big disaster yesterday, and in the end, only a part of the budget was deducted, and there was not even a punishment."
"Huh, that's not too bad news, but what about the bad news?"
Lianxin asked cautiously.
"Well, the bad news isβ"
The consultant deliberately stopped after halfway through speaking, and elegantly picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
"The bad news?"
The crowd asked nervously.
"The bad news is that if you don't have enough members by the end of the month, the restaurant will be completely disbanded the following month."
"Don't!"
Yunyue screamed and said to herself in disbelief:
"Is the club established by the senior finally coming to an end with me? What is this, is Qin II reappearing! β
"No, you may not be as old as Qin II."
Lotus Seed teased Yunyue for fun.
"Is there any chance of redress?"
Lianxin can be regarded as the only person who still has reason.
As for the little peach -
"Why deduct the budget?"
She still hasn't understood what happened and why the school is withholding funds.
"Don't tell the truth, don't let Tao blame himself too much and write a letter of resignation."
The three of them made the decision privately.
"Yes, the easiest way is to find another classmate who is willing to join the cooking club."
The advisor pretended to be relaxed.
"What, isn't this very simple, the little ones will follow me to catch it, no, invite new students to our club as guests."
Yunyue is always optimistic.
"But, with all due respect. After yesterday's incident, I'm afraid that no students want to come to the cooking club.,Even the freshmen who just entered the school and don't know the world are deliberately avoiding the cooking club.γγ β
"I've been talking about the bad things about the restaurant since just now, what's wrong!"
Xiao Tao has long integrated into this club, regards herself as a member, and vows to share the glory and disgrace with the club.
"Shh
Lianxin winked at the advisor and motioned for her to change the subject.
The consultant understood and added out of kindness:
"It is said that the Ministry of Information is going to write an article about yesterday's events and publish them, as if they also said that this may be the hottest news in history, and maybe they will come to collect material immediately."
"I'll go to the Ministry of Information, and the three of you will figure it out first."
My sister Lianzi rolled up her sleeves and took the rolling pin on the board, smiling and running towards the news department with a friendly expression.
"As always, I like to use force to speak."
Lianxin felt helpless about her sister, but the effect was still very significant, so she didn't say anything about it.
"Hahaha, there is wine today and drunk today, and tomorrow will be sad tomorrow. Let's eat and drink well, let's get together and disperse! β
Yunyue said dejected words as if she had given up.
"Cheer up, aren't you president! The president takes the lead in giving up! β
Xiao Tao grabbed Yunyue's shoulder and shook it vigorously, hoping to make her head full of paste sober up.
"Leave everything to me!"
Xiao Tao suddenly crossed her waist with one hand and gave her a thumbs up with the other, and said with a confident smile.
"Huh? Momoko, when did you become so reliable? β
In Lianxin's perspective, the current little peach exudes a warm glow like a reliable big sister, and Xiao Tao seems to have felt this way before she didn't cook?
"This Saturday is Halloween, but unfortunately, it could have been used to make desserts at school to attract new students."
The consultant said suddenly.
"Huh? Halloween? β
Xiao Tao and I are together like a holiday every day...... Well, that's just wishful thinking on my part, and she just forgot about it.
"It's okay, we can still take advantage of Halloween."
Yun Yue rarely came up with a bad idea this time.
"But it's really a back-to-back fight, Sunday is the new month, and if there are no new people joining before then, we're really going to have to say goodbye to the restaurant."
Lianxin was keenly aware of the most critical problem and hurriedly reminded him.
"It's okay, it's okay, Mr. Hikari will definitely have a way, after all, he was the president last year, so he should have a lot of contacts, right?"
Xiao Tao thinks I am more convincing, and takes the opportunity to move me out and talk like an important prop.
"Oh, that's how it works."
Lotus Xin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ah, it would be great to have the help of last year's president, but this year's self-proclaimed president is not very reliable."
Outside the door is the lotus seed who has just returned triumphantly from the Ministry of Information, and the lotus seed is in a good mood at this time, which also implies that the Ministry of Information has just experienced a bloody storm.
"Now that the matter is settled, I have a proposal I don't know if you can listen to it?"
Xiao Tao finally said what she wanted to say.
"Well, Momo-san is the key person in saving the club this time, and we will listen to whatever you say!"
Lianxin hurriedly promised.
"Hey, stupid sister, you'll listen to everything yourself, but don't involve me!"
Renzi thought of yesterday's cooking, and then thought that maybe Xiao Tao would let her taste her new handiwork, and her face darkened for a moment.
For Lianzi, Xiao Tao is many times more difficult to deal with than the Ministry of Information, and she is also a teammate, and teammates must be united and friendly......
"No, can't you?"
Xiao Tao's voice lowered, and she looked at the lotus seed pitifully.
"Really, well, I'll listen to it too. What's your proposal? Say it and see! β
The lotus seed looks open.
"Huh? What about my opinion? Didn't anyone ask my opinion? β
Yun Yue felt that she had been indifferent again.
"Actually, I'm going to cook a big table at home this Saturday to celebrate our encounter, a big table! I don't know if you can ......."
"Go, we'll go, you'll go too, right? Yunyue? β
"Eh, I ......"
"Okay, that's it, Yunyue is happy to say that she will go with her."
"When will I ......"
"Give me acceptance! If the society is disbanded because of Peaches' displeasure, you're the culprit. β
The sisters suddenly lowered their voices and approached Yunyue, invisibly threatening.
"Good ......"
"Great, that's it!"
Xiao Tao happily added:
"My brother will do it with me, don't worry?"
"Huh? Little Momo's brother? Speaking of which, I haven't seen it yet, so I'm looking forward to it. β
Yunyue suddenly remembered that Xiao Tao said that she had an older brother before.
"What about President Hikari? Will President Hikari be there too? β
"Hikari President?"
Xiao Tao repeated suspiciously, and suddenly understood-that misunderstanding has not been clarified until now!
"Ah, yes, yes, Mr. Hikari will be there."
"Well, after all, it's a lover, but does Mr. Hikari live in Momoko's house?"
"It's not...... He lived in his own home. β
"It's the same, how can you live in the woman's house, if you want to live, it's also Momako who goes to President Hikari's house."
"Later, it's too early......"
Xiao Tao prayed in her heart: Please don't ask, I can't make it up!
"Then let's say it first! Guys I have something to do today, so I'll go first! β
After announcing this, Momo picked up her schoolbag and ran out of the restaurant like a run, and the other members of the restaurant felt inexplicably surprised by Momo's behavior.
Today, Xiao Tao didn't even participate in club activities and left, judging from her strength yesterday, even if there are knives in the sky, she will carry out club activities with an iron basin, plus Xiao Tao just looked at ease about saving the club.
What happened to Peaches today?
I can't figure out what everyone in the club thinks.
"Brother, brother!"
As soon as Little Peach arrived at the yard of the house, she began to call my name, but I would still be in school.
"Students, there will be evening self-study at school starting today, and I hope you will sign up enthusiastically."
The students who live in the class will participate in evening self-study, and they will live in the dormitory anyway.
When I was still hesitating whether to sign up, I first thought of Xiao Tao, since she joined the club, she must be busy with club activities every day, so I also participated in evening self-study.
At this moment, my phone ringtone was accompanied by text message vibration and various email bombardments, all from Xiao Tao.
"Is there anything else I want to sign up for? Hikaru Amato, aren't you signing up? β
"Teacher, please wait a minute, I'll answer the phone, it's very important."
I walked out of the classroom regardless of whether the teacher was allowed or not, and it was my freedom to participate or not anyway, and it was time to leave the school now.
"Stupid man, where are you now?"
On the other end of the phone was Xiao Tao's impatient voice.
"I'm still at school, is there anything wrong?"
"Something, not just something, but also a big thing!"
I first breathed a sigh of relief after judging that Xiao Tao was not in danger at the first time, and then I asked with a smile:
"Oh? What's going on? β
I thought to myself, as long as a little girl is not in danger, nothing else matters.
Little Peach said:
"Hmm...... Anyway, come back soon. β
The more Xiao Tao doesn't say it, the more I want to tease her:
"However, I was preparing to participate in evening self-study, Xiao Tao was not at home with me, my brother was so lonely!"
Xiao Tao's expectant voice suddenly came from the other end of the phone:
"No evening self-study! If you can, it's best to give me a year of repetition! β
"Hey, that's a little too much, isn't it? Am I the one who will repeat a grade? β
After Xiao Tao was excited, she said with a pitiful and pleading attitude:
"I'm sorry brother, hurry, go home quickly, there are people at home who miss you and are waiting for you to come home!"
Oops, can't you admit that person is you?
I raised my eyebrows and asked knowingly:
"Oh? Who is it? β
But I said happily in my heart: Of course it's my good baby.
But Xiao Tao directly skipped this topic and continued:
"Brother, I, I've been trying to get in touch with cooking at home lately."
"What!"
I shook slightly, my smile seemed to be frozen, and I didn't know what kind of expression to make for a while, and I asked in a trembling voice:
"Are you going to cook at home?"
"Hmm."
"Really? Are you sure? β
"Really, definitely. Hello dude, so long-winded. β
After getting Xiao Tao's affirmative answer, I quickly turned around and returned to the classroom, and said to the teacher in a very fast voice:
"Teacher, I can't participate in the evening self-study!"
Then he trotted to the seat and grabbed the schoolbag on the table and carried it on one shoulder, then grabbed the phone and said to Xiao Tao:
"Stand still obediently, brother, go home!"
I ran home as fast as I did when I was out of school from my classmates who invited me to join the club, and I didn't know what kind of trouble was waiting for me to deal with. Thinking in a worse direction, Xiao Tao may feel lonely and helpless looking at the dark surroundings and broken dishes and chopsticks, or maybe she almost fell unconscious after tasting the food she made on a whim.
It's okay, wait for me, everything will be fine when my brother gets home.
Little Peach, hold on, wait for me, I can't live without you!
