After returning to his seat, Jon took out his textbook and prepared to study.
As the level of [ Learning ] increased, it was a little difficult to level up from level 4 to level 5.
This was because he needed 100,000 experience points to level up to level 5. It was like using a tap to fill up a swimming pool. It was not difficult, but it would take time.
However, the advantages of the system were obvious. To improve his [ Learning ] ability, he did not need to do anything. All he needed to do was to open the textbook.
At the same time, the system’s notification sounded in his mind, “Ding! Open the textbook, experience points increased.”
During this morning, Jon only opened the textbook for show and silently felt the increase in experience points.
During this learning process, Annie also took the initiative to explain the questions to Jon. This action could speed up the growth of experience points, so Jon naturally agreed.
Soon, it was lunchtime.
Because there was still class in the afternoon, the students ate in the school restaurant.
In addition, the food in restaurant tasted good. Under normal circumstances, the students would choose to eat in the restaurant at noon.
Jon was the same. After putting away his books, he walked toward the restaurant.
On the way, he saw many people rushing toward there. There were even students who ran to grab two seats.
This phenomenon often happened during lunch.
The restaurant was doing very well, it was almost full every day. There was a long line. If one arrived late, there would be no place to sit.
After all, the students ate in this restaurant every day, and the flow of customers was very large.
Therefore, many students would go and take good seats in advance in order to have a comfortable meal.
Jon did not care about this and walked over calmly.
When he walked to the restaurant, only a very small number of students had just arrived. There was absolutely room to eat, and there was no need to take a seat.
Jon picked up a menu and thought about what to eat for lunch.
At that moment, a man in a chef’s uniform rushed out from the kitchen.
He clutched his stomach and ran toward the toilet with a painful expression.
“Isn’t that chef Brooke?! Everyone says that his dishes are delicious, so I came specifically for him. Now that he’s gone, who’s going to cook?”
“It looks like we won’t be able to eat Master Brook’s dishes today.”
“No way! I wanted to finish my lunch earlier and then go back to the classroom to rest! Now, my plan has been completely ruined.”
When the group of students heard this, they shook their heads and prepared to leave.
The reputation of this restaurant was raised by the head chef, Brook. Just as someone said, it was because of Brooke’s culinary skills.
Now that Brooke had something to do and left, everyone lost the mood to eat.
It couldn’t be said that everyone had left. At least one-third of the people had left.
Seeing the students leave one after another, it meant that the restaurant had lost most of the income today. More importantly, these students were about to take the college entrance exam. The restaurant had the obligation to let every student eat their fill.
Now, after such incident, there was a girl with long chestnut hair in the kitchen. She looked very fair and tender. She was wearing a chef’s uniform and couldn’t sit still.
Looking at the people leaving, she gritted her teeth as if she had made up her mind, she said, “Everyone, I’m Mr. Brooke’s student, Carola. Although my cooking skills can’t be as good as Mr. Brooke’s, at least I have the charm of my teacher. Is that okay?”
When Carola finished speaking, she felt her heart thumping and she was very nervous.
That was because she was still an apprentice. She had only studied under Mr. Brooke for a period of time and had yet to finish her apprenticeship.
Simply put it, she had only cooked for Mr. Brooke to find out her own problems. She had never cooked for the customers, and she still lacked in experience.
But in the current situation, she could only bite the bullet.
“Carola? I think I’ve heard of that name.”
“She seems to be a cooking genius. I heard she won many awards! Most importantly, she is Brooke’s daughter!”
“Really? So she is Brooke’s daughter. In that case, her dish should be pretty good.”
“Then let’s eat here? I don’t want to move to another place.”
The students discussed briefly, then nodded and agreed to eat in the restaurant.
Seeing this, Carola took a deep breath and finally felt relieved.
However, the real problem appeared.
Although the customers agreed to stay, there were not enough helpers.
Because usually, there were four chefs in the restaurant. No matter how many students there were, the restaurant was still busy.
However, it was almost the weekend, and two chefs had to take time off to go home. Only Brooke and Carola were left in the restaurant.
Logically, two chefs should be able to handle these problems.
But Brooke had a stomachache, vomiting and diarrhea, and could not cook at all.
In other words, Carola was the only chef in the restaurant. To be precise, there was only one trainee chef.
Even if she could cook, she didn’t have enough people to help her.
Carola was anxious and didn’t know how to solve the situation.
At this moment, her eyes fell on Jon, and she saw hope.
“Jon, can you help me?” Carola walked up and asked.
Jon looked at Carola walking towards her and raised his eyebrows. Soon, memories of Carola flooded his mind.
His predecessor, Jon, was very frugal because his family was poor. In order to relieve his sister’s stress, he chose to take a part-time job in school.
At that time, the restaurant wanted to recruit more waiters. So his predecessor gave it a try.
At that time, the person who received him was Carola.
The two people were about the same age and had common topics. Plus, after knowing Jon’s background, Carola was very sympathetic for him.
She immediately decided to help Jon and let him work as a waiter in the restaurant. He would have lunch and dinner every day, and he would also receive a salary every month.
Jon worked in the restaurant for a period of time, and his life was relatively easy.
Because he knew that he was a high school student and was about to take the college entrance exam, the restaurant’s employees took good care of him and did not give him any tiring work.
Later, because Jon was busy for the college entrance exam, he had to choose to leave the restaurant.
Chef Brooke and Carola were very understanding and agreed to his resignation. They directly gave him a three-month salary as a blessing.
Jon had always remembered this favor.
Now that the restaurant was facing difficulties, Jon naturally could not sit idly by.
He put down the menu and stood up. “Okay, I’ll help you.”
When Carola heard this, her eyes lit up. “Thank you so much! There’s not much time left. Follow me to change into a chef’s uniform.”
As Carola spoke, she held Jon’s hand and walked to the kitchen.
There were already many people in the restaurant. If they did not cook, many students would leave if they waited too long.
Jon followed behind Carola and walked to the kitchen.
