Behind the counter, there was already a young chef. He naturally heard what Miss Meng was saying. Seeing Nian Bing approaching, he made a gesture of invitation and stepped aside with a keen anticipation of what was to come.
After a quick survey of the cold dishes in front of him, Nian Bing picked up the chopsticks and tasted each of them. With a solid plan in mind, he initiated his sales push. First, he chose a cucumber salad. He took down a large tray from behind the curtain under the counter, placed it on top, and asked the chef standing aside: "Do you have a chef's knife?"
The chef was taken aback, "This is a cold dish sales counter, not a cookhouse. Why would you need a chef's knife?" He didn't believe this handsome, young man, who seemed even younger than himself, could do anything special.
