Ignoring the risks, the amusement park project was launched.

This seemed to trigger a chain reaction, causing Texas and the others to awkwardly clutch their stomachs.

Seeing this, Jiang Qiu couldn't help but smile and quickly greeted them—

"Since we're all hungry, let's go out for a big meal."

"There will be plenty of food today!"

"Ohhhh!!!!"

With a cheer, the crowd immediately marched in a grand procession toward the Saintly Herbalist Restaurant on the second floor.

Even after an afternoon, the number of people in line remained as large as ever.

As lunchtime approached, the number of people continued to surge, forming a massive, swarming crowd that made everyone's eyelids twitch.

"Wow, it's so crowded, is there really any room left?"

"We reserved a private room, so let's squeeze in first."

"Don't pull my tail!"

"I'm about to be pushed out."

"Croissant, clear the way!"

With Croissant leading the charge, the group managed to push through the crowd and, with the help of familiar staff, squeeze into the store.

Unlike the crowded exterior, the interior of the store is undoubtedly much more spacious and quiet.

Everyone enjoyed the delicious food on the table. The rich and comforting aroma lingered, making everyone relax naturally.

Everyone stared intently at the delicious food on the tables around them, their already rumbling stomachs protesting even more fiercely.

Just then, a fluffy blond head peeked out from behind the cashier, its eyes shining as it stared at the all-too-familiar figure.

Even with a honey cake still dangling from his mouth, he still managed a mumbled wave as a greeting—

"Small Boss"

"Little Ke, why are you watching the cash register today?"

Taking advantage of the moment the other person darted over, Jiang Qiu affectionately rubbed the other person's head.

The fluffy ears twitched contentedly under the soothing touch, and a soft, adorable smile appeared on the pretty face.

"There were just too many people today, so my older sister went to help in the kitchen."

"They said I just need to stay here and watch over things, and I can call the others when someone needs to pay the bill."

"Fu Hua has taken leave to go home. She said her younger sister seems to have blown up the kitchen, and she has to go back to clean up the mess."

""

Fu Hua's family is full of restless people too.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qiu's lips twitched. She didn't dwell on the topic any further and instead asked a question.

"Where's the private room that Sister Shihua reserved for us?"

"This way!"

Kroos immediately led everyone in a flurry of activity toward the private room inside, his fluffy tail wagging excitedly.

Seeing how excited this guy was, Exusiai, who was closest to him, asked him out of curiosity.

"She's a distant relative of Sister Shihua. She came to help out during the summer vacation, and she's a total foodie."

"As long as you feed her some delicious food, it's easy to become friends with her."

“I see.”

As Exusiai's gaze returned to Ceobe, her older sister had somehow moved closer to her.

As he gently rubbed the other's head with both hands, Xiao Ke showed no sign of resistance.

Her arms were stuffed with snacks and plush toys handed to her by Remienne, and her pretty face was beaming with a radiant smile.

"What an adorable child! Much less troublesome than the ones at home."

Remien couldn't help but sigh, which displeased Exusiai and the others.

"Sis, we didn't cause any trouble."

"That's right, everyone knows our family is the most honest and simple-minded."

"I haven't settled the score with you for raiding Joan of Arc's house next door and stealing her homework."

"Hey—Bi Luyi is so full of exam papers before graduation, how could she possibly finish them all?"

"It was Lappland who instigated it. She's the mastermind. If you want to kill her, then kill her."

"Can't you guys have any sense of loyalty at all?!"

Amidst the commotion, they arrived at the innermost private room.

The entire private room was exceptionally clean, and the spacious, clear floor-to-ceiling windows offered an unobstructed view of the mall's scenery.

On the wall to the side, there were even graffiti in a particularly colorful style, accompanied by magic circles, full of indescribable childlike fun.

There were even photos of the two sisters with Jiang Qiu hanging on the wall, as if they had made this private room their own private space.

"Here's the menu. Order whatever you'd like."

"Except for alcohol."

""

Hiroi Kikuri, who had been excited, immediately deflated and stared at the scenery outside the window with a look of utter despair.

As Mostima and the others gathered together with great interest to look through the menu, Little Carter diligently poured hot tea and lemonade for everyone.

They also brought a lot of her favorite snacks.

"Xiao Ke, aren't you going to save a piece to eat?"

"It's still working hours, so I can't leave my post without permission, otherwise Sister Shihua won't cook me anything delicious."

Although she was tempted, Xiao Ke managed to restrain her desires.

"You're very good. I'll ask Sister Shihua to give you extra food later."

"Okay!"

Xiao Ke chuckled happily, then strolled out of the private room with the snacks and plush toys that Remy had given him.

Meanwhile, Mostima and the others looked at the dazzling array of dishes on the menu, their expressions filled with indescribable confusion.

Everything looks delicious in the pictures, it's so hard to choose!

Chapter 16, Section 16: The stomach is already shaped like a bird's nest.

The kitchen was bustling with activity, people moving about, the sounds of woks being tossed and chopped filling the air, and the aroma of delicious food permeated the entire space.

With a flash of knife, the carved patterns bloom on the plate, embellishing the delicious food with its perfect color, aroma, and taste.

The moment a dish is finished, someone immediately picks it up and delivers it, leaving almost no time for delays or pauses.

The busyness was orderly and smooth, giving one an indescribable sense of satisfaction and tranquility.

In front of one of the stoves, a pretty figure was stirring the broth in the pot with a blank expression.

His crimson eyes seemed to be fixed on the ingredients bubbling in the soup, but his attention was actually wandering.

She was startled awake when someone's face seemed to vaguely appear before her eyes. After shaking her head to clear her mind, she focused on seasoning the ingredients.

However, beneath her beautiful black hair, which was styled in a bun, the tips of her ears were tinged with a delicate pink.

Seeing that the head chef seemed a bit undecided, the other chefs in the kitchen were already used to it.

Every time another small business owner came over, the other person looked like they were completely bewitched.

Anyone with eyes can see that there is definitely some improper or ambiguous relationship between this chef and the young owner.

But no one intended to expose it; they simply watched and observed quietly, which was a rare moment of fun amidst the busy kitchen.

Just as everyone was lost in thought, Xiao Ke darted into the kitchen and immediately handed over the menu for the private room.

"Sister Shihua, this is the boss's menu."

"I understand. Is there anything else you require?"

"He ordered the same things as usual, but this time he brought a lot of friends back, so there were a lot more dishes to prepare."

"Okay, send over the drinks, snacks, and other refreshments first."

"Let me know if anything happens, and I'll cook you some more delicious food later."

"Okay!"

Little Ke's eyes were practically shining, and he happily ran outside.

After shooing the guy away, Takanashi Touka then called over the chefs nearby.

"You take over here, I'll go work on the new menu."

"Yes!"

As the kitchen staff worked efficiently, everyone in the private room was already staring intently at the side dishes that Xiao Ke had brought over.

Pickled chicken feet, spicy duck tongue, kimchi, braised beef, fried peanuts, smashed cucumber, edamame

"Wow, isn't this side dish a bit too much?"

"I feel like I'm full after eating all this."

"This time we can say we've really benefited from Jiang Qiu's help."

"Wow, this is delicious!"

Lapland, with a chicken claw in his mouth, had his eyes light up.

Even the bones had been removed beforehand, and one bite was sour and spicy that it whetted the appetite.

Before Xiao Ke went back to serve the dishes, he chuckled and grabbed a few chicken feet that Jiang Qiu had picked up, his little mouth stuffed full.

Anyone want some iced cola?

"Me me me!!!"

I want a super-sized one!

"Croissant, pour me some coconut milk."

The drinks were poured, and the clinking of glasses quickly echoed across the table.

As Jiang Qiu chugs down her iced cola, she notices someone's expectant gaze.

"Is your craving for alcohol kicking in again?"

"is a bit"

"Shall I help you suppress it a little more?"

"There's no need for that! I can hold back for now!"

Upon hearing about the strange effects of the massage, Hiroi Kikuri immediately shuddered and shook her head repeatedly, choosing to refuse.

Before, it wasn't a big deal in the dimly lit movie theater, but now, if someone makes a shameful fuss in broad daylight, it would truly be a social death.

As she obediently began drinking the coconut juice, Jiang Qiu smiled and quickly picked up a few pieces of smashed cucumber for her to make do.

Before long, Xiao Ke brought out a large plate of garlic pork ribs and garlic vermicelli with baby bok choy.

The enticing aroma made Lappland and the others' eyes practically gleam with greed, and they all picked up their chopsticks and began their duel.

"I was the one who liked this one first!"

"You haven't even swallowed your food properly, get out of here."

"This cartilage is quite crunchy and satisfying to chew on."

"Xiao Le, watch your clothes, don't get splashed."

"The broth makes the glass noodles smell so good when you slurp them up."

"Where are the ribs? That's all?!"

Before Croissant could even start yelling in frustration, her savior, Xiao Ke, brought over fried chicken legs, pickled fish, grilled beef ribs, and stir-fried shrimp.
