“Hello, what can I do for you?” Lu Jinsen was the first to come into contact with the customers in the shop, so politeness was essential.
“I’ll have a cup of milk tea, please.”
Lu Jinsen: “Okay.”
…
Lu Jinsen and the others were able to deal with the customers who placed their orders in succession.
When Meng Chuyuan returned after delivering the food, she saw that more and more customers were coming to the restaurant to order. Everyone started to get busy.
Initially, everything was going smoothly. However, a customer suddenly brought a receipt and milk tea to the counter to check with Lu Jinsen. “Hello, I just ordered lemon green orange passion fruit. But on the receipt what you ordered for me is lime passion fruit.”
Lu Jinsen looked at the list calmly and asked bluntly, “Isn’t the lime on it short for lemon green orange?”
The customer placed the milk tea in his hand on the counter and pointed at the cup of milk tea. “Look, there’s only lime in it. What I want is lemon and green orange.”
After a while, the customer pointed at the beverage menu at the counter and said, “If it’s short for lemon green orange, then what’s wrong with the beverage menu in your shop?”
The lemon green orange passion fruit and lime passion fruit were clearly written on the beverage list.
Lu Jinsen: “…”
[Once the truth is out, there’s no way to explain it.]
[An abbreviation Hahahaha, there’s no one else who can come up with such an explanation.]
[Doesn’t this silly child know that there’s a lemon called lime in this world?]
[Oh my, Young Master actually got into trouble when I wasn’t paying attention.]
Coincidentally, Meng Chuyuan was beside him. When she saw the situation at the counter, her first reaction was to quickly solve this problem because there were still customers queuing behind.
She took the initiative to step forward and apologize to the customer on behalf of Lu Jinsen. “I’m sorry, can we make you another serving?”
‘Doesn’t it take time to redo? I’ve just been in the queue that long.’
Meng Chuyuan said, “Then we’ll give you a refund. What do you think?”
Perhaps he saw that Meng Chuyuan’s attitude was alright, so he did not pursue the matter. “Forget it, let’s leave it at that. I admit that I’m unlucky.”
“I’m sorry. This is our own mistake. We really shouldn’t have let you foot the bill.” Meng Chuyuan apologized to the guest while sticking to her principles. “We’ll return the money to you.”
[Ah ah ah ah ah, Sister Meng’s words are too praiseworthy!!]
[Ah, what? Although that makes sense, they already said that it’s fine. Why is she still insisting on refunding them? Don’t they need that money to make the drinks?]
[I don’t understand. This is probably the arrogance of the rich.]
[Actually, it’s quite good. Perhaps Sister Meng’s conscience can only survive if she refunds the customer.]
[Lu Jinsen, you should be more careful. It’s really not right for you to make such a low-level mistake! Why do you keep letting Sister Meng clean up your mess?]
“Take care. You’re welcome to visit again.” Meng Chuyuan returned the money to the customer. The cup of lime passion fruit tea was also given to the customer for free. In the end, they had to bear the cost themselves.
At the same time, Liao Jiake and the others officially entered work mode at the dessert shop.
Because their shop was busy, they did not have time for training. Their job as a waiter was not too difficult. Therefore, they started working right after they changed into their work clothes.
Most of the people in the dessert shop were young. Coincidentally, the four guests were all celebrities. Seeing that they were recording a variety show here, it attracted many foreign tourists into the shop.
…
After the afternoon training, everyone finally heaved a sigh of relief.
In the evening, the production team invited everyone to a restaurant in town for dinner. Before dinner, the director leisurely appeared. “How was it? How was your training this afternoon?”
Xu Huanning sighed and said, “I’m so tired. Director, is it too late to quit the variety show now?”
Previously, they could still slack off when they were doing physical work. Now that they were asked to work in the shop, as long as there were customers, there was basically no room for them to escape and they had to face all kinds of problems.
Qi Zhen gave him a thumbs up and said in a slightly tired tone, “Director, the work you arranged is even more tiring than my filming.”
Everyone said in unison, “Agreed.”
[Hahahahaha, the guests in the previous episodes probably had it too easy. The director is starting to take revenge.]
[Food and accommodation are provided. The production team is really thoughtful.]
[My Sister Meng is so tired that she doesn’t want to talk anymore.]
[I hope Young Master can pull his own weight. It’s Friday tomorrow. There will definitely be more customers than today. Just thinking about it is scary…]
[Normally, they have to undergo professional training before they start work. It’s already not bad that they can do this in such a short period of time.]
“For the next three days, everyone can just put their focus on the shop. Our production team will prepare three meals for everyone.”
After the dishes were served, the director silently retreated to the side and did not disturb everyone’s meal. “It’s been hard on everyone recently. I hope everyone will gain something after this episode ends.”
“…” Everyone tacitly ignored the director’s existence and focused on eating.

The next day, the live-stream started after the guests reported in for work.
When they first opened at noon, they needed to clean the tables and do a cleanliness check before the guests arrived.
Perhaps the blunder yesterday afternoon had traumatized Lu Jinsen. When he saw the beverage menu again today, he frowned.
Coincidentally, Qi Yan was standing beside him in a daze.
Lu Jinsen stole a few glances at her, looking troubled. After a while, he turned to look at Qi Yan.
He never drank milk tea and did not know anything about these drinks. Even if he knew all the words on the menu, he could easily be dazzled by them when he was busy.
In order to avoid what happened yesterday afternoon, he decided to change shifts with Qi Yan. “Why don’t we change shifts?”
Qi Yan looked up at him curiously. “How?”
Lu Jinsen said, “You take orders, I’ll do the packing.”
