"Give me that pair of chopsticks so I can eat some more." Jia Zhang muttered vaguely, then took out her spoils.
Um?
The moment the basin was taken out, Jia Zhang frowned.
"Qin Huairu, where's my half of the four-happiness meatball and chicken feet?"
Qin Huairu's heart tightened, and she said nonchalantly, "I don't know. I didn't see the chicken feet just now. Did you remember it wrong?"
"Impossible! I clearly grabbed a chicken foot and half a meatball, how come they are gone!"
Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu suspiciously and asked, "Did you eat it secretly?"
Qin Huairu quickly shook her head when she saw this: "How is that possible? I'm full. It must have been Dongxu who ate it. He was just bullied by Liu Guangqi and the others and didn't eat much meat."
"Yeah?"
"Yes!"
All right!
Seeing that Jia Dongxu didn't react, Jia Zhang reluctantly believed Qin Huairu's explanation.
Qin Huairu was worried that Jia Zhang would not let go, so she changed the subject and asked, "Mom, what happened just now? Why did Xu Damao give you money for no reason?"
There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. Qin Huairu was afraid that Xu Damao was setting a trap for their family.
The Jia family is already in such a difficult situation and can't afford any more trouble.
"Oh, if he doesn't give me the money, I'll send him to jail right away!"
Jia Zhang raised her eyebrows smugly and explained, "That damn guy was drunk and wanted to urinate in front of our door. I was just peeing at the crack of the door at that time, and I just shouted at Xu Damao to stun him."
"Hey, you know what, this guy is quick to react. He knows how to use money to shut me up."
"I agreed to Xu Damao's compensation so that you two could have a meal together. See, without me, who can take you to the meal?"
Looking at Jia Zhang's smug look, Qin Huairu couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth a few times.
So, you were almost drenched on the head by Xu Damao!
However, being able to eat at the table was a good thing, since it wasn't her who almost got drenched.
......
A few days later, in a small restaurant next to Fuchengmen, Wang Tao squatted at the door of the store, looking east and west, scratching his head, and then standing up and pacing at the door.
"Mom, is Chen Jun talking about today? Why haven't we seen anyone yet at this time?"
"If it really doesn't work, let's just sell this store. Someone came to me yesterday to discuss the price."
Wang Tao was extremely anxious. Although his father Wang Dehou's leg was saved, a lot of money was spent on his treatment. Most of the money was borrowed from various sources, and the family was in urgent need of money.
But cousin Chen Jun was not in a hurry at all. He asked him to take care of the old man in the hospital for a few days, and then came to the store to discuss making braised meat and stewed dishes.
After spending a few days in the hospital, I finally got the news, but Chen Jun didn't show up.
"Don't worry, Xiao Tao. Your cousin is now the director of the canteen at the steel mill. He must have a lot of things to do."
"Wait a little longer, it will definitely come." Cui Lanhua comforted her son.
"Why!"
At this time, Wang Tao was so anxious that he could not sit still and was more and more inclined to sell the store.
It's not just because the store has no chef and business is bad, but also because a new small restaurant has opened diagonally opposite.
Wang Tao was not sure when it was opened, but it was during the days when he was accompanying the patient.
When Wang Tao opened the door this morning, he saw the boss across the street riding a tricycle bringing in a lot of food ingredients, and guessed that business was good.
Just as he was thinking about it, the boss diagonally opposite walked out of the restaurant, stretched his body, and saw Wang Tao squatting at the door.
Although the two did not exchange a word, Wang Tao noticed the boss's look.
Contempt?
Disdain?
Why haven't you closed down yet?
Wang Tao felt that this was what the boss on the other side meant.
"What the hell is this!"
After saying this, Wang Tao went back to the store angrily.
Around nine o'clock in the morning, a clear bell rang and a bicycle stopped steadily in front of the store.
"Wow, you're really inconspicuous. I just walked by."
Hearing the noise, Wang Tao quickly looked up, exclaimed, and ran over.
"Cousin, why did you come just now? I was so anxious!"
"If the store doesn't have any business, I'll have to sell it tomorrow."
Wang Tao really didn't want to delay it any longer. Every day he delayed would mean one more day's compensation.
Chen Jun smiled but didn't say anything. Instead, he nodded to Cui Lanhua and said, "Auntie."
Then he nodded to the woman next to Cui Lanhua: "Hello, sister-in-law."
This woman was the one Wang Tao married two years ago. She helps out in the store.
After a simple greeting, Chen Jun walked into the store and took a look. Before he could say anything, Wang Tao couldn't wait to ask, "Cousin, we haven't bought today's ingredients yet. Tell me what you need and I'll prepare it right away."
"No rush, let me take a look at the situation in your store first." Chen Jun waved his hand, signaling Wang Tao not to panic.
Wang Tao cried out in fear and could only follow Chen Jun for a stroll.
This store is indeed not very big, but the seats inside are quite luxurious.
They didn't use the common square or rectangular tables, but the new-style round tables with a small turntable on them, which could seat at least ten guests.
It would be fine if there was only one such table, but there were four of them in the room, and only four such tables.
“This table is not cheap, is it?”
Chen Jun knocked on the round table with a smile. Judging from the sound, the material should be quite thick.
Of course, the items of this era are quite practical, and any chair you buy can be used for decades.
"No, I bought these four tables from a friend. Even though they were discounted, I still spent a lot of money on them!"
"How about it? It's very impressive, isn't it? The small tables used in other stores can't compare to mine!"
When saying these words, Wang Tao was actually a little proud.
It seemed to be saying how good his vision was, which was unmatched by most people.
"Cousin, you should have gone to the restaurant for dinner, right?" Chen Jun asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Of course, I've been to Fengze Garden in our old city!" Wang Tao raised his head.
"Have you ever been to a restaurant's private room?"
"Um... I don't have this one."
Chen Jun didn't beat around the bush with Wang Tao and said directly: "This kind of round table is used in the restaurant's large private rooms."
oh?
Wang Tao became even more proud when he heard this.
The big private room in the restaurant is a place only rich people can go.
His small restaurant uses the same model, so if you round it off, isn't it equivalent to the level of his place, equivalent to a large private room in a restaurant?
"It has to be my buddy who recommended this to me. It's grand and impressive." Wang Tao could no longer suppress the smile on his face.
"Well, let's just break it off if we can."
ha???
Broken?
Wang Tao thought he had heard it wrong.
"No, what's the problem? Can my buddy cheat me?" Wang Tao asked in confusion.
