I have been farming since I crossed over.

Chapter 187 Students Are Different

After Yang Mingxi finished her noodles, the two of them were about to go to the snack street to check out the results of their day's business, when Xiao Si came over and said, "Sir, a large number of customers have arrived, and everyone downstairs is busy. Master Wang asked me to see if we should prepare more ingredients. We're running low."

Lu Jintang looked up at the sky. What time was it? How could someone come to eat already? The food from this morning hadn't even been washed yet?

Seeing Xiao Si's anxious look, Lu Jintang said, "I see. Go ahead and do your work! I'll go see what's going on." Then he looked at Yang Mingxi and said, "Take a rest after you finish eating. I'll go down and take a look."

Yang Mingxi nodded, cleaned up her dishes, and walked towards the backyard. As she passed the hall, she heard voices coming from inside: "We are gathering here today, a total of 75 people, prepare a table for us."

Lu Jintang's voice came over: "No problem, what dishes do you want to order? Come over here and look at the menu."

Hearing that Lu Jintang should be able to handle it, Yang Mingxi did not go in and went straight to the backyard.

"Should we just take all the small halls in the back, so that when the students from Bailu Academy come, there will be no place for them?" said a student.

"That's not good! Besides the students from Bailu College, aren't there also students from Nanfeng College? There are probably more than 100 people from the two colleges. We just need to leave some for them, but we won't be able to fit them all in." Another student said with a smile.

"Your trick is brilliant. Let's do it this way. Although the dean said that the three colleges will compete together, everyone knows that it's the time for Bai Lu and Nan Feng to be in the spotlight, and our dean doesn't dare to refuse." said a student.

"Who says it's not? Look at today's garden party. We were suppressed so much that we couldn't even raise our heads. We'll embarrass them later." Another student's voice.

Yang Mingxi understood, went to the cleaning room, put down the dishes, and then went to the small hall at the back of the restaurant.

There is a corridor in the small hall behind the restaurant, which connects several small halls like a pumpkin. They can be independent or used for chatting and communicating with each other.

Each small hall varies in size. Some are compact, seating only one table for up to ten people, while others are more spacious, designed for larger gatherings, with five to seven tables accommodating around 5 people. Generally speaking, a typical small hall is moderately spacious, seating approximately 7 to 80 people, though a slightly more crowded 30 might be enough.

Yang Mingxi secretly speculated that Lu Jintang might arrange a large enough hall for them, so that everyone could fit in. However, after hearing the conversation between these students, she couldn't help but feel a little worried: I'm afraid these students won't obey such an arrangement!

So, Yang Mingxi hurried to the small hall in the backyard. When she arrived, she saw groups of students gathered together, happily chatting about various topics.

Yang Mingxi smiled and stepped forward, saying, "Everyone, please follow me. We've arranged a comfortable little hall for you to chat and exchange ideas. There's also free sunflower seeds and tea!"

Most of the students cooperated and followed Yang Mingxi to the larger hall. Yang Mingxi asked Xiao Si to come and set up tables and chairs, and then served melon seeds and tea for the students to drink.

At this moment, the students who had just come over came over and said with a smile, "We can't sit in one small hall. Could you please give us a few more seats? We have a lot of people."

Yang Mingxi smiled and said, "It's precisely because there are so many of you that we've given you the largest small hall. If you feel it's inconvenient to sit together, then this hall will be reserved for the students of Bailu Academy! Thank you for your modesty. I'll immediately arrange three or five small halls for you."

The students looked at each other. What was going on? The students from White Deer Academy hadn't arrived yet, so why had they already reserved the small hall?

Yang Mingxi looked at their bewildered expressions and said with a smile, "If you don't make a choice, the two largest halls will likely be reserved for Bailu College and Nanfeng College. The county magistrate just came over and said that students from all three colleges will come here today to meet friends through literature. For convenience, we'll try to place you together. That small hall belongs to County Magistrate Tang. If you don't want to stay in this hall, then the small and medium halls over there are the only options."

Several students looked at the small hall that Yang Mingxi mentioned, which was right next to this hall, and said quickly, "Let's go to this hall! Thank you."

Yang Mingxi smiled and said, "You're welcome. The melon seeds and tea are already on the table. I hope you have a good time." Then she left.

When Yang Mingxi returned to the front hall, she saw that many more people had come, and Lu Jintang was a little at a loss.

Yang Mingxi stepped forward and said, "Which academy are you from? Please come over here. We've arranged a small hall for you. You can go there and rest for a while."

A student stepped forward and said with a smile, "We are from Nanfeng College. There are about 40 of us here this time. We are in trouble."

Yang Mingxi smiled and said, "It's not a bother, thank you for coming. Would you like to come over here? Have you ordered the dishes?"

The same student said, "No, the teacher hasn't come yet. Let's order when he comes."

Yang Mingxi smiled and said, "Respecting the teacher is very good. But you can also order the dishes first, and then the teacher can come and eat. Wouldn't that be better?"

The student thought for a moment and said, "I'm mistaken. Miss, could you please recommend your special dishes?"

Yang Mingxi said, "Okay, I'll arrange four tables for you. Can I have the same dishes for each table?"

"Yes, excuse me, young lady."

"One of our signature dishes is roast duck. You can try it. It has a unique flavor. Boiled fish is a great dish that goes really well with rice. You'll want to eat more after having it. Mouth-watering chicken is a brand new way to enjoy chicken and is also very good. Let's add roasted pork belly. It's also delicious and goes well with wine. Let's also have some cold rabbit. It's very comfortable in this weather." After Yang Mingxi finished speaking, he looked at the student and said, "Five meat dishes should be enough. How about adding three vegetarian dishes, a soup, and an iced bitter melon?"

The student glanced at Yang Mingxi, nodded, and said, "Okay, that's the arrangement. Thank you, young lady."

As they were talking, the group arrived at a small hall in the back. Yang Mingxi pointed at it and said, "This can seat 40 people. Is that okay? Or should we arrange two small halls for you?"

"No, one is enough. We are from the same college and should sit together. Thank you!"

Yang Mingxi gestured to invite the group of students into the small hall before turning back. As she turned, she sighed to herself, "Students are really different too! Everyone is so different."
