As July gradually came to an end, Cheng Su's small restaurant celebrated its one-month anniversary since opening. Business was better day by day, so much so that she had no choice but to hire another waitress named He Yue, who was around twenty-five or twenty-six and had just gotten married.
With more hands on deck, work became much more efficient. But because the business was doing well, even with the extra help, they were just able to cope with the rush.
Cheng Su's restaurant was known for its quality, and she was generous. In addition to serving free soup or sweet dessert soup with the fast food, she occasionally offered refreshing side dishes. Sometimes it was a few slices of pickled papaya, other times a small spoonful of fried peanuts or soybeans, giving customers the feeling of getting a bargain.
