When he saw the officials, the strong man suddenly panicked and was about to run out, but San Ya kicked him and tripped him to the ground.
Bang!
The strong man fell heavily to the ground, and it was a terrible fall.
Several officers came forward and took him away. Zhang went forward to thank him, but the leading officer waved his hand and said, "As I should. I've eaten at your house before. It's delicious, generous, and affordable. This scoundrel is just jealous of your business. Okay, I'm taking him away. You don't have to see me off, Madam. You can go back now."
Zhang returned to the restaurant and apologized to the guests: "I'm sorry for delaying your meal. How about this? I'll give each of you a small dish as a token of my apology."
The restaurant provides free side dishes, including sour cowpea, radish strips, fermented tofu, etc. Customers can take them themselves with small plates if they want to eat.
However, the side dish that Zhang mentioned was made by her herself, preserved egg and tofu.
A refreshing and light side dish, it tastes unique when eaten with spicy hot pot.
The guests were very satisfied.
While eating, they discussed the camera lamp that Zhang had just taken out.
"This recording lamp is truly a marvel. I wonder if it has recorded our mealtimes?"
"The lady boss said this was a gift from an immortal. I wonder if it's true?"
"Except for immortals, I'm afraid no one in the world can produce such a rare item, right?"
Most of the onlookers had dispersed, but Song Jun remained standing still. Someone waved a hand in front of him, "Brother Song, what are you looking at so engrossed in? Oh, I see. It must be those two pretty girls in the store who have captured your heart, Brother Song..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the others burst into laughter.
In the past, Song Jun might have just joined in the teasing. After all, they were playboys, and one couldn't expect their moral integrity to be high. Although they wouldn't do anything harmful to others, they had teased young girls quite a lot.
However, this time, he turned around and stopped a few friends: "Shut up!"
The laughter of several people stopped abruptly, and they all looked at him in surprise, not understanding why he suddenly got angry at them.
Song Jun walked into the shop, looked at the sign for a long time, picked up a basket, picked out a lot of vegetables, and went to Daya to pay the bill.
While Daya was settling the accounts, Song Jun's eyes would occasionally drift towards her face.
During this period of time, Daya has become more experienced and can now face customers' gazes calmly. Otherwise, if she would get angry when someone stared at her, wouldn't she have been angry to death long ago?
If these people want to watch, let them watch. It won’t cost them anything anyway.
And if anyone dares to lay hands on her, well, Huanhuan has arranged people to watch over them in secret. Anyone who dares to do that will be beaten so hard that his parents won't even recognize him.
So confident!
"A total of fifty-three cents." Daya quoted the price and glanced at Song Jun.
There are very few people who can spend more than 50 wen in the restaurant, most of them spend around 20 or 30 wen. This young man looks thin and weak, but I didn't expect that he can eat so much.
But it is also possible that he didn't care about such a small amount of money at all and just took it casually.
Song Jun took out a silver ingot and handed it over, "No need for change."
Daya: “…”
This young man really has too much money to spend.
"Then I will put the money in your account and deduct it from it when you come to eat next time." Daya thought of a compromise.
Song Jun nodded: "Okay."
This way he'll have a reason to come over next time.
San Ya helped him deliver the dishes to the kitchen and handed them to Zhang. Song Jun also followed him to the kitchen and his eyes fell on Zhang's face.
When the spicy hot pot was served, Song Jun ate while talking to San Ya: "Who is that sister in the kitchen to you?"
San Ya was originally clearing the dishes at the next table. Upon hearing this, she looked at him in surprise and said, "That's my mother."
Song Jun was so startled that he choked. He quickly drank a glass of water, but the spicy taste still made his throat uncomfortable. "You said, she is your mother?"
"Why would I lie to you?" San Ya walked away with a pile of dishes and chopsticks.
Song Jun originally thought that Zhang was the elder sister of Daya and Sanya, because she looked to be in her twenties. He didn't expect that she was the mother of two girls aged fourteen or fifteen, so she must be over thirty years old.
If that's the case, then...
While I was thinking about it, a few of my friends came over and sat down, each holding a bowl of spicy hot pot and slurping it.
"You know what, this spicy hot pot tastes pretty good."
"Uh-huh."
"Brother Song, you're not really attracted to that girl, are you?"
"Stop talking nonsense and eat yours."
After eating the spicy hot pot, Song Jun couldn't wait to go home.
As a result, he happened to meet his father Song Mian at the gate.
"Dad, where are you going?"
"Something happened at the restaurant, so I went over to check it out. Where have you been? Why are you back just now?"
"Dad, seeing what you said, I just went out for a stroll."
"You're just wandering around all day, and you don't even help me, your father. When I get old, I'll see what you'll do."
Old Man Song was very disappointed with his son.
Song Jun didn't care: "We'll talk about the future later. Dad, let me tell you, I just saw a woman in a food store. She looks exactly like you."
Song Mian was shocked. "Don't talk nonsense, kid. Your father is not the kind of person who messes around outside. I definitely have no illegitimate daughter."
Song Jun looked him up and down. "Dad, what are you thinking? I was wondering if that woman could be my lost aunt?"
Song Mian was stunned for a moment, then realized that he was not going to the restaurant anymore. He grabbed his arm and said anxiously, "Hurry, take me to see it."
Song Mian has a sister who is three years younger than him. Her name is Song Mingzhu, which means the apple of the eye. This shows how much the Song family values and loves this daughter.
Song Mian loved his sister very much since childhood, but unfortunately, when his sister was five years old, she was accidentally lost at the Lantern Festival. Of course, it is also very likely that she was stolen by a beggar.
The Song family has never given up searching over the years, but the world is so vast and there is still no news after so many years.
Besides, children change every year. After more than 20 years, Song Mingzhu must have grown into a person they don’t recognize.
This is the saddest thing.
When Song Jun was a child, he heard a lot of stories about his aunt, so when he saw Zhang for the first time, he was stunned.
She actually looks about 60% like her father!
He couldn't help but have a guess.
After learning about Zhang's approximate age, he became more and more certain that this proprietress might be his aunt who had been missing for more than 20 years.
The Song father and son hurried to Zhang's Malatang. It was evening and the store was doing good business. Zhang, Daya and Sanya were busy around the clock.
But this kind of busyness makes them feel comfortable and fulfilled, because every bit of busyness can bring tangible rewards, unlike before in the Liu family, even if they were busy from morning to night, no one would thank them, but would only complain that they did not do enough.
