Chapter 25

"Speak less. No one thinks you are dumb." Xia Lanzhen rolled her eyes at her husband.

Wang Yajiang didn't care and continued to ramble, "I'm just telling the truth. I'm not allowed to say it when there are few customers. I don't know what Chen Kangle is thinking. He has money to open a Hentai restaurant, but no money to pay back the money."

"They said they would pay us back once the lunch box restaurant makes money, but this deserted lunch box restaurant is lucky enough not to lose money, and they still want to make money. If this goes on, I don't know when this girl Chen Kangle will be able to pay us back." Wang Yajiang became angrier as he spoke.

He was always worried that Chen Kangle would not have the money to pay them back. When Chen Kangle's grandfather was ill, his wife lent Chen Kangle more than 30,000 yuan. At that time, he tried to stop his wife because he thought that he might not get it back after lending it out. However, his wife did not listen to his advice and insisted on lending it.

When Wang Yajiang knew that Chen Kangle was selling lunch boxes, he wanted to urge Chen Kangle to pay back the money. In addition to them, Chen Kangle owed money to many people. He wanted to go to collect the debts as soon as possible, but Xia Lanzhen kept stopping him.

Not only did his wife not let him go to collect the debt, but when Chen Kangle was preparing to open a box restaurant, his wife also asked Chen Kangle if he was short of money and told him that he could ask her for money if he needed it.

Wang Yajiang felt that his wife was stupid. Fortunately, Chen Kangle did not ask for money again, otherwise the money would have been lost.

His wife always told him that she would pay him back when Chen Kangle’s box lunch restaurant made money. Today, when he saw that there were no customers in the box lunch restaurant, Wang Yajiang felt very disappointed.

What Wang Yajiang hated most was that his wife would rather lend money to Chen Kangle than to him to invest in growing Beef Dali. Some time ago, his friend asked him to invest in Beef Dali together, and he could make 300,000 yuan in three years by investing 100,000 yuan.

But her wife refused to give her the money, so the investment was abandoned.

"Every time I ask you to listen to me, you just won't listen! Chen Kangle that girl owes more than 200,000 yuan out there, I guess you won't be able to get your 30,000 yuan back."

Xia Lanzhen really didn't want to say a word to her husband, so she just walked forward. After taking two steps, she remembered something important and turned back to say to her husband, "If you dare to talk to Kang Le or Grandma Chen about paying back the money when we go in, don't talk to me anymore."

Wang Yajiang's eyes were wandering and he didn't continue speaking.

As soon as she entered the store, Xia Lanzhen greeted Grandma Chen, "Grandma Chen, we are here."

Grandma Chen stood up to greet her, "Ah Zhen is here, come and have dinner quickly, Kang Le has made a lot of new dishes today."

"Eating costs money." Wang Yajiang muttered quietly beside him.

Xia Lanzhen turned around and glared at him, and Wang Yajiang shut up obediently.

Xia Lanzhen took out a box of ointment from her bag and handed it to Grandma Chen. The ointment was brought back by her friend from a trip abroad. She said it was very effective. The elderly often suffer from joint pain, so she brought it to Grandma Chen.

She is a grateful person. When she gave birth to her child, her husband borrowed money to do business and lost money. He was hiding from debt and dared not go home. It was Grandma Chen who helped her take care of the child and took care of her during the confinement period. If it weren't for Grandma Chen, Xia Lanzhen felt that she might have collapsed during that time.

Later, Xia Lanzhen made some money selling clothes in the town. When Grandma Chen encountered difficulties, she lent her more than 30,000 yuan without hesitation.

She would rather lend money to people in need than give it to her husband, who had no business sense and loved to invest in various businesses, but always ended up losing money.

After chatting with Grandma Chen for a while, Xia Lanzhen and Wang Yajiang went to order food.

Wang Yajiang was reluctant to come today. In his opinion, boxed lunches were something only poor workers ate, and he had no interest in them at all.

But Wang Yajiang recently wanted to ask Xia Lanzhen for money to do business, so in order to please his wife, he had to follow her.

"I want shredded pork with fish sauce, braised pork trotters, water spinach with garlic sauce, and mapo tofu." Wang Yajiang casually ordered two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes.

Wang Yajiang, who had a look of disgust on his face, suddenly brightened up his eyes when he saw the shredded pork with fish sauce. The slender shreds of pork were wrapped in red oil soup, black fungus, red carrots, and green peppers. The whole dish was colorful and looked very appetizing.

As soon as he sat down, Wang Yajiang picked up a piece of shredded pork with fish flavor with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. He could feel the rich flavors as soon as they entered his mouth: salty, spicy, sour, fragrant and sweet, all kinds of flavors intertwined in his mouth.

The tender shredded pork absorbs the aroma of the soup and is extremely fresh and fragrant.

Wang Yajiang was surprised that the shredded pork was so tender, not dry or greasy, and very chewy.

The carrots, green peppers and fungus are all cooked to perfection, and have a crisp texture and go very well with rice.

"Wife, this shredded pork with fish flavor is delicious!" Wang Yajiang ate it up in one go.

Then he picked up a piece of braised pork trotter.

"Wife, braised pork trotters are delicious too."

Xia Lanzhen ignored him and savored the delicious shredded pork with fish flavor. She liked the black fungus in it, which was crispy and delicious.

Every time Xia Lanzhen eats dishes cooked by Chen Kangle, she sincerely admires Chen Kangle. He has such good cooking skills at such a young age. It can be said that he is young and promising with a bright future.

Wang Yajiang was eating voraciously. The dishes cooked by Chen Kangle were very much to his taste, and Wang Yajiang became more and more addicted the more he ate.

"Wife, Mapo Tofu is delicious too."

When Wang Yajiang was enjoying his meal, Han Lingmeng walked into the Heya restaurant.

This was her first time to come to a Hedian restaurant. She followed the navigation and found that the restaurant was right next to the highway and was easy to find.

Entering the store, Han Lingmeng looked around. There were not many customers in the store, and the overall environment looked good. There was no luxurious decoration, but the walls of the store were clean and the tables and chairs were neatly arranged.

Early this morning her fans were already chatting on Weibo about the Boxed Lunch Restaurant opening today. Most people would have to wait until after get off work to come and eat the boxed lunches.

Basketball is not blue: [Kangle Box Restaurant opens at 11 o'clock, but I am still at work at 11 o'clock. I envy those who are not working and can go to eat lunch in advance. ]

Hot and cold alternate: [I feel like there will be new dishes today. If I don’t have to go to work, I’d also like to go to the Hezi Restaurant early to eat the new dishes. ]

Yangyang Yangyang: [Friends, the Hedian Restaurant is now open for business. Has anyone gone to the Hedian Restaurant to eat? Tell me what the new dishes are today? ]

Han Lingmeng walked to the food display cabinet, took a photo and posted it on Weibo.

Haishi Food: [At the Kanglehe Restaurant, these are all the dishes available at the Kanglehe Restaurant today. ]

There are 18 different dishes in the photo, which is very colorful.

Back to 8 years old: [Damn! There are so many dishes, just looking at them makes me drool. Why is time passing so slowly? It’s almost time to get off work, I’m going to eat a box lunch.]

Hehe Beibei: [I just counted and there are 18 dishes in total, 4 of which are new dishes I have never seen before, pot-fried pork, stir-fried sweet potato leaves, fish-flavored shredded pork, and saury.]

King Jiji's head: [I want to eat sweet and sour pork. I hope they'll still be there when I get there. Please. ]

You don't talk: [Wow! Junjun actually went to a Hezi restaurant, Junjun, what did you order? ]

As the conversation went on, netizens began to order food in the comment section.

You can’t live without a down jacket in winter: [Junjun, sweet and sour pork! Sweet and sour pork! Sweet and sour pork! Remember to tell us how it tastes after you eat it. ]

Huluhuhuhu: [Junjun, please help me try out the new dishes, fish-flavored shredded pork, and sweet and sour pork. ]

Run ten laps on the grassland: [Junjun, you can try the four new dishes: pot-fried pork, stir-fried sweet potato leaves, fish-flavored pork shreds, and saury. I also want to try these four new dishes later.]

Han Lingmeng did not see the comments that followed. For her, as it was her first time to eat a box lunch, these 18 dishes were all new. She thought for about 20 seconds and ordered two meat dishes and one vegetable dish, crispy pork, tiger skin chicken feet and braised eggplant.

The crispy pork was golden and crispy, the tiger skin chicken feet was crispy and soft, and the braised eggplant was soft and tender. Looking at the lunch box in front of her, Han Lingmeng was already excited.

She first picked up a piece of crispy meat and took a bite. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with plump meat, fragrant and crispy.

Han Lingmeng had high expectations before eating, because fans often praised the lunch boxes on Weibo, so her expectations were very high. If the taste was not amazing, she might be disappointed.

But after taking a bite of the crispy pork, she was amazed.

The tender tenderloin is wrapped in golden crispy skin. The heat and aroma spread in your mouth when you take a bite. It tastes neither dry nor burnt. Paired with slightly spicy dry chili peppers, you can eat several pieces without feeling sick of it.

After enjoying the crispy pork, Han Lingmeng went on to eat tiger skin chicken feet. As soon as she took a bite, she couldn't help but widen her eyes. The soft tiger skin was full of sauce, crispy, glutinous, fresh and fragrant, and extremely delicious.

Han Lingmeng ate it frantically. She liked the pleasure of eating it off the bone with just one bite.

While Han Lingmeng was eating with gusto, her fans kept asking her what she had eaten in the comment section.

Huluhuhuhu: [Junjun, are you eating your lunch? Junjun, what did you eat? Can you come out and tell us? ]

Back to 8 years old: [Junjun might be busy eating and has no time to pay attention to us. ]

It's so comfortable to soak your feet: [I'm just curious about what Junjun ate. Can you come out and tell us after you finish eating? ]

Han Lingmeng had no time to check Weibo while eating her box lunch. She was completely immersed in the delicious food.

After finishing the box lunch, Han Lingmeng felt that every part of her body was healed by the delicious taste.

When she finished her meal and opened her Weibo, she found that there were more than 500 comments on that Weibo post, and many fans were asking her what she had eaten.

Originally, Han Lingmeng planned to take a photo of her meal, but because the food smelled so good, she forgot to take a photo and just finished eating it.

Han Lingmeng had no choice but to comment a paragraph to tell her fans what she had eaten.

Haishi Food: [I just ate crispy pork, tiger skin chicken feet and braised eggplant. The crispy pork was crispy and tender, the tiger skin chicken feet was soft and chewy, and the braised eggplant was soft and tasty. Anyway, each one was delicious. ]

Although it's just text, netizens are also envious of it.

Don't eat plums if they're not ripe: [I was already hungry, and I got even hungrier after seeing Junjun's comments. ]

Common Man: [Wow, I want to eat crispy pork too. I love crispy pork so much. I never get tired of it no matter how much I eat it. ]

25520: [My favorite tiger skin chicken feet, wait for me! I'll come to find you as soon as I get off work, see you later. ]

Looking at the netizens in the comment area, Han Lingmeng felt a little sorry for them. There weren't many people eating at the Heyday Inn right now, so there was no need to queue up. When they got off work, there would definitely be a lot of people lining up.

Han Lingmeng suddenly remembered that she had to start working tomorrow, and her workplace was very far from the suburbs. It would take at least 40 minutes to drive there, and more than an hour to drive here.

Han Lingmeng began to feel sorry for herself because it was impossible for her to come here every day to eat boxed lunches.

Why are delicious foods so far away from me? It would be great if there were such delicious boxed rice restaurants in the city.

At this time, Han Lingmeng was particularly envious of the workers nearby, who could come here to eat delicious boxed lunches after get off work every day.

As soon as Han Lingmeng came out of the lunch box restaurant, she met a few workers who came together to eat lunch boxes. Everyone had a happy smile on his face.

At this time, someone carried two large opening flower baskets down from the car and placed them on both sides of the entrance of the Box Restaurant. The bright red roses and large sunflowers were particularly dazzling, and the red greeting card on them was also very eye-catching.

Congratulations to you for your grand opening and prosperous business.

Guo Shujie stood at the entrance of the Hezi lunch box restaurant and took a look. He was very satisfied. "What a beautiful flower basket. This is the look of a grand opening."

Today, Guo Shujie came early to eat sweet and sour pork. Sweet and sour pork was a new dish he proposed, and he had to come and try it.

As a result, when he was almost there, he remembered an important thing, that is, he forgot to order the opening flower basket. How can there be an opening ceremony without an opening flower basket?

Guo Shujie didn't want to go empty-handed, so he waited until the opening flower basket was ready before coming along.

All the guests in the lunch box restaurant looked towards the door, and Lin Huiling walked out first.

"Who sent this flower basket?"

Guo Shujie stood up and said: "I gave it to you. Isn't it very beautiful?"

There were two beautiful opening flower baskets at the door, which looked really festive. Lin Huiling also liked them, "Young man, you have good taste."

"Where is your boss Chen?" After sending such a beautiful flower basket, of course he had to let Boss Chen see it. Guo Shujie glanced into the lunch box restaurant and saw Chen Kangle walking out.

As soon as Chen Kangle arrived at the door, Guo Shujie said ostentatiously, "Boss Chen, isn't this opening flower basket beautiful?"

"Thank you for the flower basket, it's very beautiful." In fact, at the beginning Chen Kangle also thought about whether he should buy two large flower baskets to put at the door when he opened the business, but after thinking about it, he felt that there was no need to waste money.

I didn't expect Guo Shujie to personally send a flower basket. Chen Kangle looked at the two large flower baskets at the door. It really felt like a grand opening.

Xia Lanzhen and her friends had just finished their meal and came out to watch the fun. Wang Yajiang was immediately attracted by the luxury sports car at the door.

"Young man, is the sports car at the door yours?" Wang Yajiang asked Guo Shujie.

Guo Shujie: "Yes, it's mine."

Wang Yajiang looked at the flower basket at the door, then looked at Chen Kangle with a sly smile on his face.

After Guo Shujie entered the store, Wang Yajiang said to Chen Kangle, "This guy is pretty good. The sports car he drives is worth at least five million. You'd better seize the opportunity."

"While you are still young and pretty, you should find a rich husband. Instead of working hard to open a boxed lunch shop to make money, it is better to find a rich man to marry. Then you will not have to worry about having money to spend."
