When Xiang Kun and the other three arrived at Youlong Restaurant, it was already a little past eight forty p.m.
On an ordinary day, Youlong Restaurant would still be bustling with customers. But today, the restaurant had shut its doors early and hung up a sign displaying, "Closed for business".
Upon seeing the video and related news about the plane crash on his phone, and confirming that Xiang Kun along with Tang Baona and Yang Zhen Er were on that aircraft, You Meng lost all mood to go back to the kitchen.
Even though most dishes were now made by standardized procedures and his absence did not affect much—considering they had now opened two branches—You Meng wasn't the only one who knew Xiang Kun. The restaurant's administrators and old staff all knew him, having been frequently given personal guidance, assistance with setup, and process optimization by Xiang Kun whenever they developed new dishes.
