Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing’s upset appearance, but gently laughed and looked at him, “You are a Ger. A Ger’s body is naturally a bit weaker than a man’s, so prolonged labor will naturally cause you to lose strength.”
Hearing Gu Lang’s embarrassment, the awkward color on Chen Xing’s face only slightly dissipated.
Gu Lang looked at his appearance, and a flash of heartache flashed across his eyes, but Chen Xing’s words of joy just now still ringing in his ears. He could not say anything right now that would make Chen Xing give up his burden and quit (his job), telling him (CX) something such as allowing him (GL) to support him.
Gu Lang pondered for a while, looked at Chen Xing in front of him, and suggested in a warm voice: “In that case, why don’t we limit the number of tables of guests per day in the future? This way you won’t be too overworked, and it will also make the guests who didn’t get to eat to keep thinking about it.”
Chen Xing’s eyes lit up as he looked at Gu Lang, who had offered his opinion, and slapped his palm in agreement, “You’re right, I think we can try it.”
Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing who not only agreed with him, but even revealed a big smile. He gently nodded, revealing a similar smile towards him.

The next day.
Although the entrance of the newly opened Chen Family Restaurant was not as crowded as yesterday’s, after the doors of the shop were opened wide, there were customers walking in one after another to eat.
Only compared to yesterday’s usual guests, today’s guests are in the hands of the smiling child to welcome at the door, receiving a carved with repeated patterns of the sign. The sign is marked with a number, and it looks somewhat interesting.
Some curious guests took that sign, looked at the child who was only a little taller than his waist, and asked with some curiosity: “Child, what is this sign for?”
That child kept a stern face, still possessing the innocence of childhood, pretending to be sophisticated, pointed to the side of ‘Daily only receive thirty tables’ signboard, tone prudent as he said: “This shop from today onwards, daily only receive thirty tables of guests, each table of guests will have a number plate in their hands. When this number plate is issued, this shop will not receive any more guests.”
That guest looked at the child’s serious look, and then looked at the sign plate in his hand, stroked his short beard, and said with an unhappy face, “Your shop is really rare. The other shops all hope that their own shop’s business is successful and prosperous, the more guests come, the better. You guys even limit the guests, it is still my first time seeing this kind of shop.”
The child looked at the serious middle-aged man in front of him, a few moments of fear surfaced on his face, cautiously looking at him, opening his mouth and said, “I’m very sorry guest, we are doing this to ensure the quality of the dishes we make. I hope that this guest understands.”
“Hmph, deliberately complicate things!” That middle-aged man grunted unconvincingly. He then looked at the child in front of him, took a step back in fear.
Just as the kid was staring at him with a wary face, fearing that the middle-aged man in front of him would do something, the fat man next to him who hadn’t said anything was smiling, patting his shoulder.
He said gently,
“Alright, Brother Xu, don’t make things difficult for this kid here. What can he understand as a kid? Let’s go inside now and find a seat. Didn’t you still keep thinking about that wine from yesterday?”
The man called Brother Xu turned his head to look at the person beside him, foam at the mouth and glared with rage, “Sun Yu, you actually can be a good person too.”
