The old gentleman's words were quite inspiring to the couple. "Is this tea also for sale?" they asked.
"Of course! Every tea we serve to guests can be bought and brewed at home by just adding hot water. It's very convenient!"
The old gentleman enthusiastically introduced them to the teas. Upon hearing this, the young wife glared at her husband, "You came here to eat a meal and you don't know anything? It's like you ate a fake meal!"
The young man felt truly wronged. "I didn't know either! The shop owner didn't say anything."
"The shop owner didn't say? Didn't the owner explain the effects of these things? Didn't you ask if they didn't?"
"They did, but I thought it was exaggerated! So I didn't think about buying it!"
The man felt he was quite innocent. Seeing the couple about to argue, the old gentleman quickly intervened, "Yes, we never expected a meal to have such a significant effect. After all, these illnesses are chronic and difficult to cure. How can they be resolved so easily!"
The young man felt the old gentleman had saved his life upon hearing his words. He quickly nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes!"
When everyone at that table had finished eating with satisfaction and went to the counter to pay, the young couple let the older couple pay first. They waited behind. Paying the bill didn't take long, but the counter wasn't just for diners settling their bills; many customers were there to buy tea.
As time passed waiting, the young man, who was a mecha engineer, was attracted by the small mecha models on the counter.
Since he was waiting anyway, he started looking at the models. The more he looked, the more he felt that the mecha in the model looked strange.
The man leaned so close to the model to get a better look that his eyes were almost touching it. He also wanted to touch it to see if it was as he suspected.
His wife saw his actions and quickly tugged him, whispering, "Your face is almost touching it, what are you looking at! And even if you look, don't touch it carelessly."
His wife thought: Sometimes I really feel my husband is as naive as a child...
The mecha engineer became excited. He said to his wife, "The mecha in that model looks like a real mecha."
The mecha engineer was very familiar with mecha, but his wife clearly didn't believe him.
"How could such a small mecha be real? It doesn't even have an engine or anything."
Although the mecha engineer's wife was an outsider, she knew that mecha had engines, and those components were produced by specialized companies. While some skilled mecha engineers could indeed build them themselves, there surely wouldn't be such a tiny engine? Without an engine, what could you call a mecha!
But the mecha engineer leaned even closer, still wanting to examine it. Fortunately, his wife stopped him in time, "Don't touch it randomly, it's so rude! It's our turn, hurry up and pay."
The man had to retract his hand, but his eyes didn't leave the small model even when paying.
While paying, Meng Huai kindly asked them, "Are you two satisfied? Please feel free to give any feedback. Our small shop has just opened, and we need everyone's patronage."
"No, no, everything was delicious," the young woman chatted with Meng Huai. She then asked Meng Huai, "Boss, we'd like two more boxes of tea, the kind that helps with his hair."
Meng Huai nodded upon hearing this and turned around to get the two boxes of tea the woman wanted.
"This Five Black Tea is seven thousand star coins per box. Just brew it with boiling water, it's very convenient."
The woman didn't think the price was expensive; instead, she found it very affordable. After all, they had paid for medication at the hospital multiple times, each costing tens of thousands of star coins with no effect.
As the woman paid, she asked Meng Huai, "Then, boss, please tell me, for my husband's condition, how long will it take for his hair to be like a normal person's?"
Meng Huai looked at the man's hair and said after some deliberation, "Drink it every day, and it should take about a month. However..."
As soon as Meng Huai said "however," the man's wife quickly asked, "However what? Is there a problem?"
Meng Huai waved his hand, "No, madam, you're too nervous. However, I can prepare some medicinal shampoo for your husband. If it's used in conjunction with the shampoo I've formulated for him, the time can be halved. And the hair growth rate will also double."
Meng Huai continued, "Otherwise, it will take some time for newly grown hair to reach a normal length."
"Yes! Boss, please prepare it for him!"
The man's wife didn't even ask the price and directly told Meng Huai that they wanted it! Having thinning hair was quite embarrassing. They couldn't possibly give up the chance to grow it back faster!
"Alright. This preparation will take some time. How about this, you leave your address, and I'll have a delivery person send it to you tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, the man's wife waved her hand directly at Meng Huai and said, "Oh, boss, no need for such trouble. We're coming to eat again tomorrow. We'll pick it up ourselves tomorrow at noon!"
"That's fine too."
At this moment, the man's wife was about to drag her husband away. The man finally asked, "Is that model custom-made? Is the mecha a real mecha?"
"That model? Yes. I made it casually, is it okay?"
The man exclaimed excitedly, "You made it yourself?"
He could also make such a small mecha, but he couldn't achieve such a level with the engine, especially a miniature one.
He wanted to chat with Meng Huai for a while longer, but his wife pulled him away.
"Let's go, let's go! You're disturbing the boss's business." The man's wife felt her husband was very embarrassing and dragged him away.
The man was pulled away by his wife, but he was still thinking about it.
He then asked in a group chat with his mecha engineer friends: [Baldy]: Question, if you were to customize a mecha for a 20cm doll, could you do it?
[Shuang Shuang]: Isn't that a problem? You can do it too.
[Yi Yi Yi Yi]: Yes, it's not a difficult task. However, the engine would be a bit difficult. If you make it that small, it wouldn't be able to function.
Seeing that his friends in the group chat had the same idea as him, the mecha engineer said to his wife, "So the mecha in that model might not have an engine."
After they left, there were still some people waiting to pay at the counter. Meng Huai finished processing their payments one by one, and then there was nothing left to do.
She then picked up the small model that had been the subject of so much attention and pressed its switch.
The small figure, originally placed on the counter facing the customers, turned around after being activated and asked, "Hi boss, good morning. Is there anything I can help you with?"
