In the evening of the next day, the sound of bouncing footsteps came from outside the kitchen. Bai Yao waited for two seconds, and Mu Muer poked her head in from the outside. When she saw him, she smiled and moved closer to him.

"Yaoyao, what are you eating today?"

It was less than 4:30, and the restaurant hadn't even opened for business yet. The little thing was already thinking about what to eat for dinner, and those who didn't know thought he hadn't eaten all day.

Probably there is nothing more important in the world than eating, Mu Muer looked eagerly at Bai Yao's table full of ingredients on the spacious countertop, and couldn't take her eyes off it.

He wants to eat seafood fried rice, scallops, small dried fish and many desserts.

You can eat anything, you want to eat anything, just thinking about it, Mu Muer starts to salivate, and there is a table full of delicious food in her mind.

Seeing Mu Muer's stupid look, Bai Yao was delighted, and gently pinched his chin to make him look up, so that he could admire the greedy look of the little idiot.

He couldn't help teasing him: "Eat mud today."

Mu Muer believed it was true, and opened her eyes slightly: "Mud...is not tasty."

He shook his head cautiously, his expression becoming a little puzzled. He knew that Bai Yao's cooking was delicious, but mud...may not be good.

After teasing the little sea otter every day, Bai Yao reached out and touched his head, showing a satisfied smile.

"Have you eaten?" Bai Yao raised his eyebrows and asked him in a low voice.

Mu Muer thought about it seriously for a few seconds: "Hmm~ no."

He paused for a moment, then began to hum again: "Mu'er is so hungry."

In fact, he just ate a big peach and two egg tarts half an hour ago, and he is not very hungry now, not even a little hungry, purely greedy.

Seeing his pitiful appearance, Bai Yao thought it was funny, so he stretched out a finger to poke Mu Mu'er's belly, raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Are you hungry? Are you hungry here? But Yaoyao feels bulging. "

"Hungry! I'm so hungry! I'm not bulging anymore!" Mu Muer hurriedly sucked her belly in, and patted herself to make sure her belly was flat.

Bai Yao smiled lightly and took out the banana bread that he made yesterday, cut it into slices for him to eat, and poured another cup of chocolate milk for Mu Muer to pad his stomach first.

Mu Muer doesn't like to drink milk, but he likes chocolate milk, he likes it very much, to the point that he wants to drink it every day. He just sat on the small sofa in the corner and quietly ate his snacks without disturbing Bai Yao, watching him busy.

When the restaurant was almost packed, it was time for the restaurant to open. Bai Yao went out and opened the door to let the guests in, starting tonight's official business.

Seeing Bai Yao busy in the kitchen, Mu Mu'er got close to him after finishing her banana bread and chocolate milk, and posted it on his back, announcing, "Mu'er also wants to help."

After Bai Yao heard it, he had a conditioned reflex and wanted to say, "It's okay, Mu'er can play by herself", but when the words came to her lips, she hesitated and didn't say it out.

He was a little surprised that Mu Muer would want to help, part of him felt a little relieved and moved, but at the same time he was afraid that Mu Muer was worried that he would dislike him, so he wanted to do something for him. Bai Yao stared carefully at Mu Muer's expression for a while, trying to make sure that he wanted to help him not because of any guilt.

After watching for a long time, Mu Muer just looked at the things in the kitchen curiously, without showing any strange expression, and Xiaolu's eyes were as innocent as usual, Bai Yao felt a little relieved.

He doesn't feel at ease to let Mu Muer do anything, cutting vegetables is definitely not an option, and he cannot be allowed to do any tasks that require touching knives.

Simple washing and picking of vegetable leaves is fine, but they have been prepared in advance, and there is no need to do it now. In addition to the two difficult tasks of cooking and paying the bill, the only thing left is to serve the guests.

"Well, let's help serve the dishes."

This is fairly simple, and you don't need to communicate with others too much, just help him put the prepared dishes on the guests' tables.

"Just take it out like this, it's from the table on the far right, see?" Bai Yao pointed out from the kitchen window to Mu Muer, "Mu'er put the plate on the table, just say ' Just use '' slowly, don't wait for an answer, just come back."

Mu Muer timidly glanced outside the kitchen, the restaurant was more than half full of people, and the voices of the guests were a little noisy.

Usually he is not afraid of sitting casually in this kind of environment, but it is the first time for him to take the initiative to talk to others.

Seeing him vacillating, Bai Yao touched Mu Mu'er's back twice, feeling uneasy. For normal people, this task is not difficult at all, but it may be a little difficult for Mu Muer who has not spoken to strangers more than twice.

Bai Yao felt a little regretful when he said it, this was the first time Mu Muer wanted to help when he was in business, what if something happened.

He just wanted to say forget it, and try again next time when Mu'er is ready, but before he could speak, Mu Muer carefully pulled the corner of his clothes twice.

Mu Mu'er obviously looked scared, but she tried her best to put on a brave expression, which was a little cutely serious, "Yaoyao, Yaoyao do it once for Muer to see."

Bai Yao looked at him a little timidly, but with an extremely sincere expression, and finally agreed.

"Okay." It happened that the chestnut chicken ordered by the guests at that table was ready, so Bai Yao packed the plates, carried them by himself, and walked outside with Mu Mu'er.

The guests at that table were a young couple who were discussing something. After Bai Yao put down the plate, the girl said thank you, but the boy didn't speak. Neither of them raised their eyes at all, let alone noticed the person hiding behind Bai Yao Mu Muer is gone.

When he returned to the kitchen, Bai Yao squeezed Mu Muer's hand, and asked him softly, "Do you want to try?"

Bai Yao didn't force him. Seeing that Mu Muer was a little scared, he didn't rush him. He waited patiently and let him make his own decision.

In fact, it was not as scary as Mu Muer imagined. The guests at that table didn't pay much attention to them, and their eyes didn't even fall on him.

This gave Mu Muer a little more confidence, and when it was time to serve the dishes next time, he offered to go alone, "Mu'er try."

He walked out with a plate of fried cod that Bai Yao gave him, and walked to the table where Bai Yao pointed out to him.

Mu Muer's "Please use it slowly" said very softly, not too much different from the squawking of a mosquito, and she didn't even raise her head, she turned around and slipped away after she was done. He entered the kitchen and hid directly behind Bai Yao, staring at the crack of the door with one eye exposed for a long time, with a frightened expression on his face, as if he was afraid that the people at the table would chase him with knives.

Sitting at that table was a couple with a few-year-old child, who were so focused on taking care of the child that they didn't even notice that Mu Muer went to serve the food.

Bai Yao was amused in his heart, and asked Mu Mu'er to hold his clothes and stay behind for a while, so that he could understand that there was nothing to be afraid of.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong, Mu Muer slowly straightened up and smiled a little: "Muer continue!"

The customers in the store today are all very nice, if they see that Mu Muer is a little different, no one will deliberately point it out, or treat him differently, just do what should be done, and they don't even take a second look.

This made Mu Mu'er a lot more at ease. He did most of the serving for the night, and Bai Yao only went out to settle the bill occasionally, which made him a lot more relaxed.

Time flies quickly when you are busy, and it is already half past seven in a blink of an eye, and there is still half an hour before closing.

There are still three tables of guests left in the restaurant, and it is basically over tonight. Bai Yao glanced at the order displayed on the tablet, and there was one seafood fried rice, one borscht and two desserts to make, all of which were very simple dishes, which he had cooked countless times, even sleepwalking.

But at this time, there was a little episode.

Mu Mu'er went out to serve a table of guests, and suddenly came in in a panic. Seeing Bai Yao busy, she hesitated before stepping forward to tug at the corner of his clothes.

Bai Yao put down the thing in his hand, turned around and asked him, "What's wrong?"

"They, they want tissues."

"Yeah." Bai Yao took Mu Muer to the storage cabinet in the corner of the kitchen, and took out a stack of spare tissues from the neatly organized drawer. He took the napkin and turned around to give it to the guests habitually, almost ignoring that Mu Muer was still waiting.

Turning around, Mu Muer stood pitifully behind him, rubbing her hands in front of her stomach, with an expression of "my job has been robbed".

Bai Yao held back his smile and asked him, "Do you want to give Mu'er to them?"

"I want it! Mu'er is here!" Mu Muer took the napkin from Bai Yao's hand after she finished speaking, and walked outside with a little bouncing in her steps.

The seafood fried rice in the pot just needed to be plated, and Bai Yao couldn't do without the stove, so Bai Yao didn't follow, watching Mu Muer happily walking towards the guests' table.

Maybe the people at the table thought that Mu Muer was a bit slow in getting the tissue, so they didn't say anything, but they moved suddenly, almost snatching the tissue from him, which shocked Mu Muer.

Mu Mu'er didn't have any precautions, she was stunned for a few seconds, and didn't leave immediately.

The man thought he was standing there in the way, so he said something to him in a somewhat rude tone. Bai Yao was in the kitchen and couldn't hear the sound, only vaguely saw the shape of his mouth.

Not a nice word.

He saw the whole scene in his eyes, didn't hold back a swear word, threw the shovel and wanted to go out. As soon as he pushed open the kitchen door, he saw Mu Muer walking over from the table with her head bowed, looking pitiful.

Bai Yao just watched helplessly that his little sea otter, whom he had cherished for so long, was like a flower bone that had been completely doused in frost, and was completely wilted, unable to lift his head anymore.

On the few steps from the dining table to the kitchen, Mu Muer pretended nothing happened, suppressed her frustration and grievance, and walked slowly.

Bai Yao gave the man a hard look, tightened and loosened his hand by his side, and finally gave up the idea of ​​giving him two punches.

The feeling of being sad might be delayed. When Mu Mu'er had completely entered the kitchen, he raised his eyes to look at Bai Yao, then lowered his eyes again, trying his best to hold back the moisture in his eyes.

Bai Yao didn't say anything, but just stepped forward and squeezed Mu Mu'er's face, making him look up and carefully look for something in his eyes. He sighed softly, took the boy into his arms, and rubbed his palms behind him.

Only then did Mu Muer relax, buried her face in Bai Yao's chest, and sobbed a little, "It's so fierce... Muer is very good."

After being depressed for a while, he muttered softly to himself, "Just be more obedient next time."

Being yelled at by strangers for no reason is unbearable to any sensitive person, let alone Mu Muer, who is less courageous than a cat.

Bai Yao looked distressed and wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know how to coax him.

It's better not to coax, and another way.

"Don't pay attention to him. Next time someone is fierce to Mu'er, Mu'er will go back and see who can be more fierce." Bai Yao lowered his head and grinned at him a little bit, revealing two slightly pointed canine teeth, and narrowing his peach blossom eyes slightly. ,"that's all."

Mu Mu'er was not afraid of him long ago, and now seeing this cold and brutal look, she just thought it was amused, so she couldn't help laughing.

Because no matter how fierce the big cat looks, the pads under the paws are still soft after all.

He thought in his heart again, Yaoyao is really good-looking, and even more so when he is fierce. To him, he is not fierce, but feels very safe, like a little wandering hermit crab finally found its shell.

"Have you met Mu'er?" Bai Yao saw that Mu Muer hadn't spoken for a long time, so he raised his hand and pinched his cheeks. His thumb and forefinger lightly pinched the sides of his cheeks, and directly pinched the boy's mouth A little yellow duck.

"It's over!" Mu Muer imitated Bai Yao and bared her teeth, her eyes were bent, revealing two small canine teeth that were not too sharp, and grinned.

Tsk.

Like a little kitten.

Bai Yao held back his laughter when he looked at his fierce and aggressive appearance, what should he do? After that, with a flash of his teeth, others could think that he was acting like a baby on purpose.

Naogui Nao, this kind of thing still needs to be explained clearly with Mu Muer, so that he can understand a little truth in it.

"Mu'er doesn't need to be afraid of others. Most people don't have any malicious intentions, so they can be fierce if they are fierce." Bai Yao's voice became more serious, "But if someone scolds you or says something ugly, then you should be fierce and don't let him. "

Mu Mu'er hasn't had any contact with anyone since she was thirteen years old, Bai Yao doesn't know how he sees other people in the world.

There are hypocrisy and evil, but there is also hypocrisy. People who treat you well are not necessarily angels. People who speak a little rough may help you when you are in danger.

Everyone has a different understanding of whether there are more good people or more bad people in the world. Bai Yao thinks that he can teach him slowly in the future.

After Mu Muer listened carefully to his speech, she nodded obediently, "Mu'er is not unhappy, Yaoyao don't worry."

His obedient son comforted him in turn, probably no other such obedient baby could be found in the whole world.

"Well, I'm not worried about you." Seeing that he was in a good mood, Bai Yao felt relieved, got up and went to the kitchen freezer to get the last two eggs for fried rice.

I forgot to fill up the shelf where I usually put eggs, so I had to go to the storage place behind the freezer to get them. Bai Yao stayed there for a long time, and when he came out, Mu Muer suddenly disappeared.

Turning around to look around, Mu Muer was standing next to his big rock in the corner of the kitchen, **** excitedly, when she saw Bai Yao coming out, she greeted him excitedly.

His jacket has been completely taken off, his body is naked, his trousers have been pulled down to his ankles, and only a pair of small underpants are left on his whole body.

Bai Yao: "!? What are you doing, ancestor?"

Mu Muer was so excited that she could hardly stand still. She jumped on the spot twice, stood up on tiptoe and put it down again, "What Muer thought just now is to become a sea otter. They should like sea otters. If they have sea otters, they won't be fierce. Mu'er becomes a sea otter." Obedient little sea otter."

He pointed to the door of the kitchen, meaning that he wanted to transform into a sea otter to serve the guests.

Bai Yao had quick eyesight, and before Mu Muer took off the last pair of underwear left on his body, he picked up the boy's clothes left on the stone and threw them directly at him, covering his head tightly.

Even if Bai Yao thinks that the Golden Shell Restaurant has the potential to become the world's first restaurant with sea otter waiters, it still won't work.

On Mu Mu'er's head was the T-shirt that Bai Yao threw on top of his head, she blinked twice, and took it off slowly, a little incomprehensible.

Wearing clothes that change shape is easy to stretch the clothes, especially the underwear, and you have to buy new ones if they are stretched. Thinking of this, Mu Muer timidly put down her clothes again, thinking it was a secret, she took off her underpants a little, intending to strip them completely.

But Bai Yao keenly sensed that something was wrong, and turned his head to meet Mu Mu'er's cunning eyes. Seeing that he was discovered, the boy let out a groan, a little dissatisfied.

"Mu'er turns into a sea otter." After speaking, as if he was afraid that Bai Yao would directly put his clothes on, he squatted down on the ground, and finally asked in a low voice, "Is it okay?"

Bai Yao's mouth twitched.

...I think it might not be good.
