Chapter 405 The Origin of the Shop

"Madam boss, do you still remember me?"

Seeing the proprietress of the small restaurant coming out with a smile on her face, Zheng Long greeted her with a smile.

The proprietress, who was about to greet the guests, looked at Zheng Long the first time she heard his words. She thought for a moment with a puzzled look on her face, and her face was instantly filled with surprise.

"Mr. Zheng, it's you. Come on, come on, call everyone to come in first. It's been more than two years and I finally see you again."

The smile on the proprietress's face was no longer a formal smile. It could be seen that she was happy from the bottom of her heart.

She hurriedly grabbed Zheng Long's arm and led him into the house. At the same time, she turned back and smiled, urging Song Tang and the others to follow, as they were all Mr. Zheng's companions this time.

Zheng Long was pulled by the proprietress to walk in front. He turned around and looked at everyone behind him with a helpless smile, and his girlfriend Li Wenwen looked at him with a teasing expression.

The shop is not big, but it is clean and tidy.

It was almost dinner time, and there were only one or two tables of customers still eating in the restaurant. When they saw the proprietress bringing in such a large group of people, they were all stunned.

I didn't expect that such a large group of young people who looked so noble would come to this small restaurant in this small town, and they seemed to be very familiar with the proprietress.

They were so busy eating that they only saw people. If they went out and saw Song Tang and her convoy later, they would probably be even more shocked.

"Sit down, sit down. Everyone, find a place to sit down. I'll take care of today's meal. Just sit down."

The proprietress warmly invited everyone to take a seat, served tea and drinks, then happily ran to the kitchen, leaving Zheng Long, who was about to say something, with a helpless look on his face.

Only at this time did everyone have the time to ask Zheng Long, and Zheng Long could only smile and explain to everyone what was going on.

…

Two years ago, when he was driving along the Qinghai-Gansu Small Loop Line, he stopped at this small shop when passing through Chaka Town.

He was having a meal at the time, and the boss's little girl, about four or five years old, was playing at the door of the store and ended up having her trachea choked by snacks.

The little girl was in a critical condition at the time. Her face was slowly turning purple. The boss and his wife were so anxious that they were about to cry.

Some passers-by and tourists were also at a loss. At this moment, Zheng Long, who was eating, heard the noise, dropped his bowl and chopsticks and ran out.

Zheng Long snatched the child from the arms of the distraught and tearful proprietress, and leaned forward to hold the little girl who could no longer breathe in his arms.

Make a fist with your right hand and place it two fingers above your belly button. Press your right hand with your left hand and at the same time, exert force to quickly move inwards, squeezing and impact.

After five or six times, the little girl spit out the snack that was stuck in her trachea and was saved.

A set of Heimlich first aid maneuvers is simple but can save lives at critical moments.

After listening to Zheng Long's brief explanation, everyone understood why the proprietress was so happy the moment she recognized Zheng Long. She also gave Zheng Long a thumbs up. Such a person is really reassuring.

Li Wenwen sat next to Zheng Long, secretly holding Zheng Long's big hand under the table, looking at him with sparkling eyes.

Although my boyfriend is usually very straight, he makes me feel at ease. With him around, everything seems to be fine.

At this moment, a joyful male voice came from the kitchen.

Then the curtain was lifted, and an honest-looking middle-aged man rushed out happily. When he saw Zheng Long, he was so happy that he almost cried.

"Mr. Zheng, you left without saying goodbye. After I came back from the clinic with the child, you were gone. I had a hard time looking for you in the town and at the Salt Lake."

The middle-aged boss looked at Zheng Long in front of him and spoke excitedly, while wiping his hands on his apron again and again, and was too embarrassed to step forward to shake hands.

Zheng Long stood up with a smile and walked to the boss, reaching out and grabbing the other's uneasy hand, not at all bothered by the fact that his hand was a little greasy from cooking.

"I was having dinner at your house and was planning to leave. I left right after dinner, so of course you couldn't find me." Zheng Long said with a smile, holding the boss's hand.

The boss shook hands with Zheng Long and then let go. "Mr. Zheng, my hands are greasy from cooking."

"Today's meal is mine. You all sit down. I'll go and arrange everything for you." The boss smiled and ran back to the kitchen.

Zheng Long smiled helplessly, and then sat back next to Li Wenwen. Now not only his own people were looking at him and laughing, but even the guests at the other two tables were looking at him with admiration.

The proprietress came out again, smiling as she poured tea and water for everyone, and asked Zheng Long, "Mr. Zheng, there are so many of you this time, are you going on another trip?"

Zheng Long smiled helplessly, "Boss lady, you don't have to call me Mr. Zheng all the time. My name is Zheng Long, you two can just call me by my name."

The proprietress put down the teapot in her hand and shook her head. "That won't work. If you hadn't been here, my little girl would have really been gone."

"When the doctor examined me, he said that it was fortunate that someone rescued me at the time. Otherwise, even if I were sent to the hospital, I would still have sequelae due to the lack of oxygen for a long time."

Seeing that the proprietress rejected his proposal, Zheng Long could only smile helplessly and say, "Just call him Mr. Zheng, as long as they are happy calling him that."

"Little girl, it's been two years. I guess you've grown taller now?" Zheng Long pulled a stool over and asked the proprietress to sit down and chat.

"Well, she's in kindergarten now and will soon go to elementary school. It's holiday now, and since the store is busy, I sent her to live with her grandparents." The proprietress sat down with a smile.

"Mr. Zheng, this beautiful girl next to you is your girlfriend, right?" The proprietress asked with a smile, looking at Li Wenwen who was sitting close to Zheng Long.

"Yes, it's my girlfriend Li Wenwen. We just confirmed our relationship this year. I came out to play with my friends during the holidays. I happened to pass by here and thought of you."

Zheng Long smiled and introduced his girlfriend Li Wenwen to the proprietress, and Li Wenwen also greeted the proprietress gracefully.

"That's great. You guys sit down, I'll go to the kitchen to help and let you eat quickly." The proprietress chatted with Li Wenwen for a while, then stood up and went back to the kitchen.

"Zheng Long, it seems that you have traveled a lot over the years. You always know people in places like this." Song Tang said with a smile while sitting at another table.

"Ha, it's not as exaggerated as you said, Tangtang. I have traveled a lot over the years, but the number of people I know is limited. The boss and the boss lady of this restaurant only met because they saved the little girl." Zheng Long smiled and waved his hand.

…

Soon, under the care of the boss and his wife, Song Tang and more than 20 others had hot meals.

In addition to the kang pot they had eaten in Ningxi City before, there were also specialties such as earthen hot pot and some local barbecues.

Even Song Dabotou and Song Chuyi benefited from Zheng Long's help and ate their fill of yak meat.

The proprietress even personally made a pot of beef noodles for Song Tang and his friends, which made them very happy.

I basically ate meat all the time when I went out these few days, except for noodles and lamb intestines for breakfast.

Now seeing this pot of hot noodle soup makes my eyes well up with tears.

Song Tang originally thought that he was the only one who enjoyed this bowl of noodle soup, but he didn't expect that everyone present thought the same way.

So before I finished eating anything else, the pot of beef noodles was already empty.
