After transmigrating back again, Chen Kangle gained excellent cooking skills. To pay off her debts, Chen Kangle picked up a spatula and started selling boxed lunches at a construction site.

Chapter 67
After learning this lesson, Chen Kangle told his grandmother to remember to call her as soon as possible if she got lost.
For some reason, Grandma Chen suddenly forgot to make the phone call. She nodded and agreed to Chen Kangle.
The two boarded the plane smoothly. When they arrived at Gumi Island, it was already 4:30 in the afternoon. Chen Kangle booked a homestay on the island, which was carefully selected by Chen Kangle. This homestay is a distance away from the beach. Chen Kangle deliberately chose a homestay farther away from the beach because the elderly have light sleep and the sound of the waves may affect their sleep at the beach.
One of the important reasons why Chen Kangle chose this B&B is that it allows guests to use the kitchen, and Chen Kangle considered that he might want to cook his own meals.
The person who came to pick them up at the airport was an employee of the B&B, a cheerful young man.
"Ladies, my name is Gu Wangfeng, you can call me Fengzi."
Gu Wangfeng looked to be in his early twenties, with neat short hair and dimples visible when he spoke.
As soon as Chen Kangle got in the car, Gu Wangfeng kept talking, as if he had endless things to say.
First they talked about their own experiences, and then they talked about the experiences of the B&B owners.
Gu Wangfeng is from Lin City. After graduating from university, he found a job as an engineer in Lin City. Less than two months after working, he fell seriously ill due to overwork.
After recovering from a serious illness, Gu Wangfeng decided to go out and relax before returning to work. He loved the sea and came to Gumi Island. When he was traveling on Gumi Island, he stayed in the homestay booked by Chen Kangle. In the homestay, Gu Wangfeng met the owner of the homestay, Deng Shanchuan, and the two people with similar interests became good friends.
Originally, Gu Wangfeng only planned to spend a week on Gumi Island, but after a week he was reluctant to leave. He especially liked the sea on Gumi Island, the blue sky on Gumi Island, the air on Gumi Island, and the comfortable and peaceful life on Gumi Island.
Gu Wangfeng was reluctant to leave and decided to stay on Gumi Island for another week. But after a week, he still didn't want to leave. It happened that the B&B was short of help, so Gu Wangfeng stayed to help and stayed for three months.
Grandma Chen listened with great interest. After listening to Gu Wangfeng's story, she had a question to ask: "So when do you plan to go back to work, or do you plan to stay on Gumi Island and work forever?"
Chen Kangle was also curious about this question. On one side was a high-paying job, and on the other side was a comfortable environment and an easy life. She was curious about what Gu Wangfeng would choose.
She waited earnestly for Gu Wangfeng's answer.
Gu Wangfeng smiled and replied, "I don't know either. Let's take it one step at a time. Maybe one day I'll suddenly want to go back to work, or maybe I won't want to go back after staying here for a while."
Although Gu Wangfeng was smiling, Chen Kangle saw him frown when he answered this question. Perhaps this was the question that troubled him the most.
"My story is over now. I can tell you the story of our boss. His story is even more exciting than mine."
Gu Wangfeng turned the topic to the owner of the B&B, Deng Shanchuan, who was a very capable man. He founded a computer company at a young age and quickly established himself in the industry.
In the third year after the company was founded, Deng Shanchuan decided to withdraw from the company and handed over the company to his partner. At that time, Deng Shanchuan founded the company for the purpose of making money, and three years later he had made enough money.
Deng Shanchuan's family was not very well off when he was young. His parents would take other children out for travel during the holidays, but he would just stay at home and watch TV. At that time, he had a dream: when he grew up, he would make a lot of money and travel around the world.
When he finally made enough money, Deng Shanchuan resolutely gave up his previous career and was ready to realize his childhood dream. At that time, almost all his friends advised him to give up the career he had worked so hard to build, and as long as he was willing to continue, he would definitely make more money.
But Deng Shanchuan was satisfied, he felt that he had earned enough money. After leaving the company, Deng Shanchuan packed his bags and started his journey around the world. He visited many countries and later saw a travel vlog of Gumi Island posted by a netizen on the Internet. He was instantly struck by the beautiful sea of Gumi Island.
Deng Shanchuan packed his bags and went back to Gumi Island. He stayed in Gumi Island for a week, staying in the B&B he currently runs. He liked this B&B very much. The B&B is located in the middle of Gumi Island, with a beautiful and quiet environment.
At that time, the owner of the B&B was a middle-aged uncle. He met his true love on Gumi Island and was ready to close the B&B and return to the city to live with his true love.
When he learned that the uncle was going to close the B&B, Deng Shanchuan immediately decided to take over the B&B. He liked Gumi Island and the B&B, so he wanted to stay and run the B&B.
When his friends knew that he was going to stay on Gumi Island to run the B&B, everyone asked him why he didn't go back to continue managing the company since he was no longer traveling around the world.
But Deng Shanchuan just likes Gumi Island. He is not short of money. If he were asked to choose a place to live, he would prefer Gumi Island.
He has been running the B&B for two years now, and under his management, the B&B makes a profit every year.
After telling the story of the B&B owner, Gu Wangfeng looked at Chen Kangle and said jokingly, "Gumi Island has a magical power. Many people don't want to leave after coming here. Beautiful girl, you have to be careful. Be careful that you won't want to leave our Gumi Island after coming here."
"No." Chen Kangle said firmly.
No matter how beautiful Gumi Island is or how good the environment is, she would never want to live there for a long time.
Gu Wangfeng: "Why are you so sure?"
"Because I have my career in Hai City." Chen Kangle's life goal is to make the Kangle Box Hotel bigger and stronger. There is no way she would want to stay in Gumi Island.
"What do you do for a living?" Gu Wangfeng asked.
Grandma Chen answered first: "My granddaughter runs a box restaurant."
Gu Wangfeng was a little surprised to hear that Chen Kangle ran a box restaurant. A young girl actually ran a box restaurant. He was a little curious about Chen Kangle's story.
I don’t know if it was influenced by Gu Wangfeng, but Chen Kangle was actually willing to tell a stranger about his experience.
Both parents passed away, grandfather died of illness, he was burdened with huge debts, set up a stall in front of the construction site to sell box lunches, was driven away by the urban management, opened a box lunch restaurant, paid off all his debts, took his grandmother out for a trip, and planned to open many branches in the future.
After listening to Chen Kangle's experience, Gu Wangfeng couldn't help but admire this girl he just met, a very brave girl. He thought that if it were him, he might be driven crazy by the huge debt.
When we arrived at the B&B, we found that it was a four-story building with blue walls, which looked very fresh and bright overall.
Walking into the B&B, Chen Kangle met the owner, Deng Shanchuan, who had a red afro, wore a cool graffiti T-shirt and ripped jeans, and looked like a rock youth. This was completely different from what Chen Kangle had imagined, as she had imagined Deng Shanchuan to be a hipster wearing glasses.
Gu Wangfeng knew what Chen Kangle was thinking. He smiled and said, "Our boss is a weirdo. His attire changes all the time. He recently watched a rock movie and liked a rock singer in the movie, so he dressed up like a rock singer. Last month, he fell in love with a basketball player while watching a game, so he wore sportswear every day."
Chen Kangle thought that the owner of the B&B was an interesting person. At this moment, an idea suddenly popped up in Chen Kangle's mind. If one day the owner of the B&B fell in love with a monk character while watching TV, would he shave his head and dress up as a monk?
She looked carefully at Deng Shanchuan's head shape, which was big and round. If he cut his head bald, he would definitely look like a big, round light bulb. Chen Kangle almost laughed at her own idea.
Deng Shanchuan, who was sitting at the front desk and looking at his phone, noticed Chen Kangle's gaze. He looked up, smiled brightly, and said, "Isn't my hairstyle handsome?"
Chen Kangle smiled awkwardly: "Well, red hair is very handsome!"
"Girl, you have very good vision." Deng Shanchuan gave Chen Kangle a thumbs up.
Chen Kangle was the first person to praise his handsome hairstyle. Ever since he got this red afro, almost everyone said that his hairstyle was ugly. Every time he went out, the aunties and uncles would tell him to cut his hair off quickly.
"Boss, the girl is just complimenting you out of politeness, don't take it seriously." Gu Wangfeng was merciless.
Deng Shanchuan rolled his eyes and said, "Can you please not expose it and let me be happy for a while."
"Yes, yes, you are the most handsome!" Gu Wangfeng said perfunctorily.
Then he took Chen Kangle and the others upstairs. Chen Kangle and the others booked two luxurious single rooms.
After putting away his luggage, Chen Kangle rested in the room for about an hour. At six o'clock, Chen Kangle prepared to go out to find food.
Gu Wangfeng introduced them to a seafood restaurant where the prices were slightly cheaper. The seafood at Gumi Island was very fresh and tasted great even if it was just steamed.
After dinner, Chen Kangle took her grandmother for a walk on the beach. When she was making a travel guide, she saw someone recommend watching the sunset on the beach on Gumi Island.
The noisy sea and the dim sky and earth are all dark. Chen Kangle and his grandmother walk barefoot on the beach sprinkled with light, listening to the rhythmic sound of the waves and the sea breeze blowing across their faces. It allows people to let go of everything and completely immerse themselves in the golden beauty.
While Chen Kangle was enjoying the beautiful scenery, fans of Kangle Lunch could only find comfort in the comment section of "Kangle Lunch".
It's always strange: [Today is the first day that the Kangle Box Restaurant has suspended business, and there are four days left before the Kangle Box Restaurant resumes business. ]
Broken Jars Break Again: [Comrades, what did you eat on the first day without Kangle lunch boxes? I had braised chicken drumstick rice at a restaurant in the city, and I missed the braised chicken drumsticks from our Kangle lunch box restaurant. The braised chicken drumsticks from our Kangle lunch box are still delicious, fragrant and tasty. The braised chicken drumsticks from other places can't compare at all.]
Yesterday, the 10th: [Today I ordered takeout in the city. I have become accustomed to the delicious food from Kangle lunch boxes. I will be disgusted if I eat from other restaurants.]
My dear sister Xiaoya: [It’s okay, a day has passed. Go to bed earlier, wake up to the second day, and then sleep again to the third day. Five days will pass quickly.]
