After all, it is a newly opened restaurant and it is small, so most people come to buy roast duck. Usually, not many people come to the restaurant to order dishes, only two or three tables on average, and most people come with porcelain jars to order their dishes.

Although the two apprentices' cooking skills were not as good as Song Xiaochuan's, the dishes were not bad either and they could still handle it.

But only Song Xiaochuan can make this roast duck!

Lin Cuiping was worried, but she couldn't just abandon the restaurant and run away, so she quickly said, "Wait another ten minutes. If he doesn't come, hang a sign on the door saying that the roast duck supply is temporarily cancelled today. In addition, stew the duck we prepared with green radish and sell it at the cost price of 40 cents per serving. Tell the customer that this is our sincerity to compensate for not having roast duck today."

At 40 cents for a large portion of meat dish, it is indeed not profitable, and if the quantity is larger, it may even lose money. However, Lin Cuiping's decision will make everyone feel that they are "getting a small bargain", which can appropriately reduce everyone's complaints about not being able to buy roast duck.

The two apprentices immediately got busy. They first made two vegetarian dishes and waited until half past ten, but Song Xiaochuan still hadn't shown up. However, people had already started lining up outside to buy roast duck.

Lin Cuiping quickly told the two girls to go out and explain to everyone: "Remember to smile and speak softly to everyone! You are little girls, smile more, and they will be embarrassed to speak."

Sure enough, as soon as they heard that there was no roast duck today, the people outside immediately started complaining.

But when I heard them explain the situation with a smile, "Big brother and big sister, our chef had some family problems, so we temporarily changed the roast duck to stewed duck with radish. This was our mistake, so our manager said that large portions of stewed duck will be sold at 40 cents each, and we guarantee that everyone will be filled! If we have time, we can wait a little bit, and the stewed duck will be out of the pot soon, it will be so delicious!"

It is said that one should not hit a smiling person. The two girls spoke sweetly and smiled sweetly. When they heard that the stewed duck was so cheap, how could anyone dare to send it?

"Girl, leave me two servings of duck. I'll take them back for my kids! My two older grandchildren are on winter vacation, so they came to ask for money from me!" An old man in the other place was holding a large porcelain basin and said happily, "Luckily I got a basin today!"

Now everyone stopped worrying about whether there was roast duck today, and started to regret why they only took a small porcelain jar today!

Several dishes have been served. The four young men cooperated well with each other, but they also reduced the amount of dishes appropriately in case they were too busy to handle the order later.

The whole hotel was in order, not in chaos because Song Xiaochuan was suddenly gone. Lin Cuiping breathed a sigh of relief, and sweat dripped down her forehead.

"Why didn't you make roast duck today?" Tian Hao came in at some point, leaning against the kitchen door to watch Lin Cuiping busying herself, and asked, "Where's your chef?"

Lin Cuiping brought out the last dish without looking at him. She took off her apron and said hurriedly, "Close the shop early after you finish selling the food. I'll go find Song Xiaochuan! If anyone wants to order food, please decline it if you can. Remember, you can't go wrong with a nice attitude!"

After she finished speaking, she threw her apron on the table beside her and was about to ride away on her bicycle.

Tian Hao's brows sank slightly: "Why are you rushing to do this?"

Lin Cuiping didn't have time to explain to him: "I'm going to 껚川's house."

She had a hunch that something must have happened at Song Xiaochuan's home, and it might have something to do with those rogue relatives! Maybe Song Xiaochuan had fought with them again. Was he injured so badly that he couldn't go to work?

When she thought of Song Xiaochuan's injured appearance, she became extremely anxious and wished she could grow wings and fly over immediately.

Tian Hao didn't let her go: "Song Xiaochuan is just a chef in the restaurant, what are you doing in his house? You are a girl, getting so close to him, aren't you afraid of being misunderstood?"

"What misunderstanding?" Lin Cuiping pushed him away impatiently: "Something may have happened at his home, don't waste my time!"

Because she was anxious, she used a lot of force, and this push caused Tian Hao's lower back to hit the corner of the table hard. His face immediately turned pale: "Lin Cuiping!"

What could have happened in Song Xiaochuan's family that made her so anxious!

Lin Cuiping stopped and said, "I'll apologize to you when I get back."

Tian Hao took a deep breath to calm his anger. He calmed down and grabbed her: "Where is his home? I'll drive you there. It's faster than riding a bicycle!"

Lin Cuiping didn't hesitate: "Okay, then drive faster."

Tian Hao's indescribable depression became more serious, but seeing that she didn't look good, he still endured it: "Get in the car!"

The car sped away. Lin Cuiping kept looking ahead and had no intention of talking to Tian Hao.

Tian Hao gritted his teeth: "What happened?"

Lin Cuiping's mind was full of random thoughts, and she couldn't think clearly to talk to Tian Hao calmly: "Send me to Song Xiaochuan's house later, and drive back by yourself. I'll go and apologize to you tomorrow."

Tian Hao tightly gripped the steering wheel: "Lin Cuiping, who do you consider your friend? Is it Song Xiaochuan or me? Something happened at his home, and I came to see you off, but you still want to chase me away?"

Lin Cuiping simply closed her eyes and ignored him, otherwise she would scold him to death when she couldn't control her mouth!

Now she was only thinking about Song Xiaochuan and had no time to quarrel with him.

She didn't say anything, and Tian Hao became even angrier. He drove very fast and soon arrived at Song Xiaochuan's house.

Lin Cuiping thought of many possibilities along the way, but she never expected that the situation was more serious than she imagined...

When Lin Cuiping arrived, the Song family's door was open and there was chaos inside, but no one was there.

The neighbor next door sighed: "Little girl, you are too late! Xiaochuan took his mother to the hospital, and we don't know if she can be saved! It's really a sin. Before, the mother and daughter couldn't even get enough food. Now Xiaochuan is better, why would she want to commit suicide again?"

Seeking death? Aunt Song seeking death?

Lin Cuiping felt her eyes go dark and she could hardly stand.

Why would Aunt Song commit suicide?!

Tian Hao quickly supported her and asked, "Which hospital is she in?"

Lin Cuiping grabbed the neighbor's hand and asked anxiously, "Is Aunt Song okay? Why did she want to commit suicide? Are those bastards causing trouble again?"

She asked so many questions that the neighbor groaned, "How would I know the reason? I only know that Xuefang got a rope and hung herself on the beam at home as soon as Xiaochuan left the house this morning! She is now in Haicheng Hospital..."

Before she finished her words, Lin Cuiping ran to the car, and she spoke with tears in her voice: "Tian Hao, drive me there quickly, let's go to Haicheng Hospital!"

Tian Hao grabbed her and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, since the person has been sent to the hospital, it means he can still be saved."

Lin Cuiping nodded hurriedly: "Yes, Aunt Song will be fine!"

She didn't dare to think that if something happened to Aunt Song, who depended on each other for survival, she would commit suicide.

How will Song Xiaochuan live in the future?
