Chapter 326: Eating is a kind of emotion
Although they are all inconspicuous side dishes, they are indeed delicious in appearance, aroma and taste. The fact that they can attract regular customers to come back again and again proves that the owner has good character and the shop has its own characteristics.
"You're right. We came here by smell."
Thinking of the past, Tang Zikai curled up the corners of his mouth and picked up a piece of salted meat for Dai Qing.
"In fact, this small restaurant was discovered by my brothers and I when we were on a mission. For some reason, this place became a dream of ours."
At this point, Tang Zikai looked at Dai Qing's curious eyes and chuckled.
"It was a drill. We had been working hard for a whole day and just happened to walk here. We were thirsty and hungry, and suddenly we smelled a strong meaty aroma. Who could resist it? We just followed the smell and came here."
He still remembers that when he and his brothers entered the store, they grabbed all the dishes prepared by the boss like hungry wolves.
A few guys suddenly showed up, scaring the boss quite a bit, and then he was shocked by their appetite.
Seeing how they were eating so voraciously, I thought they were in trouble, so I just gave them a bowl of rice and told them to eat as much as they wanted. If they didn't have enough, I could have more.
From then on, they developed a bond with this small shop and would come here every now and then to sit down.
Just like old friends, if you don’t come for a while, you always feel like something is missing?
After being in contact with them for a long time, even if the boss didn't ask specifically, I now know the identities of these people.
Whenever a few of them came over, the boss would be particularly enthusiastic, fearing that they would not have enough to eat.
Hearing this, Dai Qing chuckled. They are all guys, and the moment when their appetite is at its most astonishing is indeed terrifying.
Tang Zikai can come to eat frequently, maybe it’s no longer a taste for him.
At this moment, Dai Qing discovered that her boss's palace of children suddenly turned red, and his philtrum became slightly darker, indicating that his child was in danger of a bloody disaster.
Tang Zikai looked at Dai Qing staring at the boss with frowned brows and asked in a low voice,
"What's wrong?"
Looking at Tang Zikai, Dai Qing moved closer and spoke softly.
"I noticed that there were changes in the boss's fertility department. Something happened to his child. Do you want to remind him?"
Listening to Dai Qing's question, Tang Zikai was stunned. He knew that Dai Qing was very capable and had never made any mistakes in fortune-telling. However, when it came to parents and children, he still needed to be cautious. If he was not careful, he would easily be misunderstood.
At this moment, the guests at the two tables opposite paid their bill and left. After seeing them off, the boss came back to clean up the dishes.
Tang Zikai put down his chopsticks, looked at the boss, and asked casually,
"I noticed that you have been busy all these years. Why don't you hire a helper to take care of it so that you don't have to work so hard alone?"
"It's just a small shop. If there are too many people, it will be troublesome and we won't be able to move around."
Hearing Tang Zikai's tone, the boss didn't care at all and just shook his head.
"My wife and I both don't have jobs. She stays at home to look after the children and parents. I run a small restaurant here and can barely make ends meet. Fortunately, we are both content and never compare ourselves with others. We can still get by."
"How old are your children?"
"I only have one daughter, who is just ten years old this year. She is a well-behaved and quiet child. Right now, I just want to save money so that my daughter can go to a good university in the future."
When talking about his daughter, the boss' eyes were filled with tenderness and kindness, and he looked like a good father who doted on his daughter.
As he spoke, Dai Qing noticed that the red color in his uterus was showing signs of forming threads.
"Do you usually pick up your daughter from school?"
"Our home is close to the school, and the child's mother occasionally picks him up, but most of the time the child goes to school alone."
After hearing the boss's answer, Dai Qing and Tang Zikai looked at each other. After the guests from the other table left, Tang Zikai sighed softly,
"It is said that girls are the sweet little cotton-padded jackets of their parents. Girls are timid, so we should pay more attention to them. Otherwise, if the children encounter any problems, they will not dare to tell the adults."
"Of course. My girlfriend used to love chatting with me. Now that she's getting older, she's not as talkative as before. Fortunately, she's still quiet and likable."
"The boss closed the stall early today, so I can go pick up my daughter from school. After all, her father is always at the school gate, which makes her feel especially safe."
When it comes to the safety of children, Dai Qing couldn't help but speak up and give a reminder.
"From your facial features, your daughter must have encountered some troubles recently. You and your wife need to pay attention to the child in time to avoid any problems."
After hearing Dai Qing's reminder, the boss was stunned for a moment and his face darkened.
"What do you mean, little girl?"
Just as Dai Qing was about to speak, Tang Zikai directly held her hand, shook his head at her, and then turned to look at the boss.
"Don't mind me, my friend is a fortune teller. He can't bear to see anything he sees... It's not a good thing for a fortune teller to leak secrets on purpose."
After listening to Tang Zikai's explanation, the boss widened his eyes and looked at Dai Qing suddenly.
"You are a fortune teller." Are all fortune tellers so young nowadays?
“Guaranteed authenticity.”
Dai Qing looked at her shocked expression and nodded.
"There are some abnormalities in your uterus. Your child must be in trouble. As a parent, it would be better for you to pay more attention to your child's movements."
"It is better to believe it exists than to believe it does not exist."
Tang Zikai echoed softly.
The boss looked at the two of them, frowned and thought for a moment, then took off his apron and put it on the counter.
"You two can enjoy your meal and don't rush to pay the bill. I'll go home and check on you."
When it comes to his daughter's safety, he really needs to be careful.
He has known Xiao Tang for quite some time, so he would definitely not say such nonsense without any evidence.
Seeing that the boss was impressed, Dai Qing was in a good mood.
It was a small restaurant with only two of them. After they finished their meal, they still didn't see the owner.
"The boss is not here, how are we going to settle this bill?"
"Then let's follow the old rules."
Tang Zikai took out twenty yuan from his pocket and put it on the table, then pressed down a corner of it with a cup of water and stood up.
Dai Qing looked at his movements and raised her eyebrows. "You look so skilled. Does this boss often leave innocently?"
"It's okay? Just a few times." Tang Zikai smiled.
In fact, he was very curious and wanted to know whether Dai Qing’s calculations were accurate.
"Let's go. I'll take you home." Tang Zikai opened the car door. As soon as Dai Qing got in, she heard several hurried footsteps.
"Master, wait a moment..."
Looking at the panting shop owner, Tang Zikai raised his eyebrows.
The shop owner breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Dai Qing eagerly.
"Master, thank you for your reminder. Fortunately, I went to school today, otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous."
