Chapter 51
"Brother, your lunch is ready." Lin Huiling handed the food to Li Shizhong. She was so busy that she didn't even pay attention to Li Shizhong.
Li Shizhong was immediately attracted by the aroma of the food after receiving it. "This food smells really good. It's worthy of the skills to open a box restaurant."
"Unlike some lunch boxes that can only be set up at stalls to fool workers, the taste is actually average, no wonder they can only be set up at stalls and not in stores."
Li Shizhong thought of the young girl who was setting up a stall at the entrance of the construction site. The workers at the construction site had previously scolded his lunch boxes for being unpalatable and praised the girl's lunch boxes for being delicious.
"If her lunch boxes are really delicious, why doesn't she open a lunch box restaurant? She must be the best among the short guys, otherwise she wouldn't set up a stall in front of the construction site."
Li Shizhong felt extremely happy when he thought about the young girl who couldn't even run a street stall business because he had reported her.
He happily picked up his chopsticks and began to eat the lunch box. There was the fragrant but not dry saury, the fat but not greasy braised pork, and the sweet and refreshing tiger skin green peppers.
"tasty!"
Li Shizhong finally realized how big the gap was between his lunch box and the delicious lunch boxes. If his lunch box and the Kangle lunch box were put together, everyone would know which one to choose.
“This is what we call a delicious lunch box. The lunch boxes sold by random people at street stalls are not delicious at all!” Li Shizhong did not forget to imply the young girl’s lunch box sold at a street stall.
While Li Shizhong was enjoying his meal, Chen Kangle, who was stewing pork trotters, decided to take a break. When he took a break, Chen Kangle liked to walk to the front hall to breathe fresh air.
As soon as Chen Kangle walked out, all the customers in the store noticed her.
"Boss Kangle, please come out and have a rest!"
"Boss Chen, today's tiger skin green peppers are really delicious. My son loves them very much."
The guests at the Heya Restaurant like Chen Kangle very much and they all talk to him happily.
When Li Shizhong heard everyone calling him the boss, he became curious about what the boss, who was such a great cook, looked like.
"Let me see who this powerful boss is!"
Li Shizhong turned around and took a look. Just one look and he was stunned.
"How could it be you and her?"
"She is the owner of this lunch box restaurant?"
The young girl was petite, with delicate features. Li Shizhong was particularly impressed by her. When he first saw her, Li Shizhong even complained: "She is so pretty, but you can't cook at first glance."
Li Shizhong recognized at a glance that the owner of this box lunch restaurant was the young girl who set up a stall at the entrance of the construction site. He thought that the young girl had given up the box lunch business after he reported her for not being able to set up a stall. Unexpectedly, after not being able to set up a stall, she directly opened a box lunch restaurant.
Li Shizhong looked at the delicious meal in front of him. He now truly understood why the workers disliked his lunch box.
Who would want to eat his lunch when there is such a delicious one nearby?
Li Shizhong suddenly felt that he had overestimated his own capabilities at the time. Setting up a stall next to such delicious lunch boxes was simply bringing humiliation upon himself.
Li Shizhong's mood was a bit complicated at this time. He was a little unhappy to see that the person he once hated opened a lunch box restaurant, but he had to admit that the food made by this person he once hated was delicious.
At this time, Li Shizhong found that Chen Kangle was looking at him, and he lowered his head quickly, fearing that he would be recognized. If Chen Kangle saw him eating in her lunch box restaurant, she would definitely despise him.
Li Shizhong kept his head down, and only breathed a sigh of relief when Chen Kangle walked into the kitchen.
"Luckily she didn't find out!"
Then, Li Shizhong continued to finish the remaining food in the lunch box.
"If nothing else, what this young girl cooks is really delicious."
Li Shizhong chewed the saury in his mouth, and the more he chewed, the more delicious it became.
"Why is it that the dried saury that other people cook has a very fragrant flavor, while the saury that I cook has a rough texture and a strong fishy smell?"
When he was selling lunch boxes at a stall, Li Shizhong also cooked saury because it was cheap and could reduce costs. It was normal for cheap fish to be unpalatable, but this young boss could make cheap saury taste like that of a high-end restaurant.
Li Shizhong ate with great satisfaction, taking a bite of saury and a bite of rice, a bite of braised pork and a bite of rice, and a bite of tiger-skin green pepper and a bite of rice.
When he was about to finish eating, there was already a customer standing by and waiting for him to finish. This box lunch restaurant is very busy, and the seats in the store are full. It is not easy to find an empty seat, so many customers stand by in advance and wait for a seat.
Seeing someone waiting for a seat next to him, Li Shizhong deliberately ate slowly. He liked to see others eating anxiously.
Yuan Songliang is a construction worker, but the construction site where he works is not near Yaocheng Village. It is a construction site some distance away from Yaocheng Village.
Although their construction site is a little far from Yaocheng Village, many of their workers ride electric bikes to Kangle Box Restaurant for meals. After all, Kangle Box Restaurant is currently the most famous box lunch restaurant in their suburbs. Kangle box lunches are not only delicious, but also very priced for the workers on their construction site.
Today, Yuan Songliang drove his electric car to Kangle Boxed Food Restaurant right after work. Every time he arrived at the Boxed Food Restaurant, there were already a lot of people queuing up. Yuan Songliang had a hard time getting a boxed lunch, and found that there was no empty seat in the boxed food restaurant. He took the boxed lunch and walked around the restaurant, and saw that there was not much food left in a big brother's lunch box, and he was about to finish it.
Yuan Songliang stood by with his lunch box and waited. After waiting for a while, he found that the man at the seat ate very slowly. There was clearly only a mouthful of rice left in the lunch box, but he sat there and ate it slowly, grain by grain.
He chewed a grain of rice for a long time, and then picked up another grain of rice and chewed it for a long time. Yuan Songliang became more and more speechless. I suspected that this person did it on purpose, but he was embarrassed to say it directly, so he had to stand and continue waiting, because the seat was occupied by someone else first.
After waiting for almost five minutes, Yuan Songliang hadn't finished eating a mouthful of rice. He looked down and saw that there were still a few grains left.
"I can bear it! There are only a few pills left. No matter how slowly he eats, he will soon finish them." Yuan Songliang gritted his teeth and tried not to get angry.
Li Shizhong enjoyed it and pretended to chew the grains slowly, one by one. Seeing the person next to him shaking his legs anxiously, Li Shizhong smiled slyly.
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to play!" Li Shizhong quickly finished the remaining few grains of rice, then stood up and prepared to leave.
Yuan Songliang beside him breathed a sigh of relief, "This guy finally finished eating!"
Yuan Songliang looked up at the man who stood up. He wanted to see what this annoying man looked like.
"Damn! How could it be you!" Yuan Songliang pointed at Li Shizhong and shouted.
"Who are you! Do I know you?" Li Shizhong looked at Yuan Songliang. The man in front of him looked very unfamiliar.
"Hehehe...why don't you recognize me?" The anger on Yuan Songliang's face became more and more obvious. When he thought of what Li Shizhong had done, he wanted to punch him.
"Why should I know you!" Li Shizhong said disdainfully.
"It's okay if you don't know me, as long as I know you!" Yuan Songliang stared at him and said, "I know you used to sell lunch boxes at the entrance of the construction site. I know your lunch boxes are unpalatable and unclean. I know your lunch boxes will give you diarrhea. I know you threaten customers. I know you have been reported. I know you have been chased away by the urban management."
"I know a lot of things, I wonder if you know them yourself!"
Yuan Songliang clearly remembered Li Shizhong's bad face. Li Shizhong once sold lunch boxes at the construction site where he worked. Yuan Songliang bought one for cheap, but it was not only unpalatable, but also made him vomit and have diarrhea.
An angry Yuan Songliang went straight to Li Shizhong to ask for an explanation, and found that several workers had vomiting and diarrhea after eating the boxed lunch like him. These victims questioned Li Shizhong together.
Not only did Li Shizhong not apologize, he also threatened them arrogantly: "If you continue to make trouble like this, I will break your arms. If you don't want to get into trouble, leave now!"
It was the first time that Yuan Songliang had seen such an arrogant person. In a fit of anger, he called to complain about Li Shizhong. Not long after, the urban management staff came and drove Li Shizhong away.
"I didn't expect to meet you here. What a narrow road for enemies." Yuan Songliang became angrier the more he thought about it.
Li Shizhong finally remembered that it was this person who reported him and made it impossible for him to do business.
"Oh my goodness, it turns out to be you. You reported me, and I haven't even settled the score with you yet!" Li Shizhong rolled up his sleeves, looking like he wanted to fight.
The quarrel between the two caused a small commotion, and some customers in the lunch box restaurant looked in their direction.
At this time, someone else recognized Li Shizhong.
"It's you, it's you! I recognize you! When Boss Kang Le was setting up a stall at the entrance of the construction site, this person took his place and tricked many workers into buying his lunch boxes. His lunch boxes are so unpalatable."
Jiang Zhengbang was one of the victims. He heard that there was a stall selling delicious lunch boxes at the north gate of the construction site, so he and his friends went there from the south gate to buy lunch boxes. However, they were deceived by Li Shizhong and bought unpalatable lunch boxes.
After hearing what Jiang Zhengbang said, someone in the store also recognized Li Shizhong.
"I remember it, it's him! He looks fierce! When others go to argue with him, he will turn around and scold them."
"Oh my god! How dare this bully come to eat at the Kangle Box Lunch Restaurant? He once reported Kangle's box lunch stand, forcing Kangle Box Lunch to open a box lunch restaurant."
"This person is extremely disgusting. Seeing that Kangle lunch box stall was doing good business, he came to take over Kangle's position and wanted to steal Kangle's business. As a result, because his lunch boxes were too bad and he couldn't compete with Kangle lunch boxes, he maliciously reported Kangle's boss."
Everyone was talking at once, and other customers who had not experienced Chen Kangle's stall also followed suit in blaming him.
"How can there be such a person? How can such a person have the nerve to eat at Boss Kang Le's lunch box restaurant!"
"I can tell from his face that he is not a good person. He is not worthy of eating at Kangle Boxed Lunch!"
Under the accusations of everyone, Li Shizhong had no ability to resist and had to flee in shame.
Because many customers of Kangle Box Restaurant know him now, he can no longer eat at the restaurant.
Once you enter Kangle lunch, you will be deeply attracted by it. After eating Kangle lunch once, Li Shizhong will never forget it. In order to eat Kangle lunch, Li Shizhong bribed his younger brother with cigarettes to bring lunch for him every day.

With the promotion of the short video platform, Kangle Box Restaurant's business is becoming more and more popular.
Not long after, Chen Kangle saved up some money again and decided to use part of it to pay off her debts.
Chen Kangle flipped through the account book and found that the total debt was 120,000 yuan, including 20,000 yuan from Aunt Axia, 20,000 yuan from Uncle Yuan, 30,000 yuan from Second Uncle, 10,000 yuan from Uncle Chen, 10,000 yuan from Aunt Zhen, 20,000 yuan from Guo Shujie, and 10,000 yuan from his good friend Hu Guanxi.
Uncle Chen paid 10,000, Aunt Zhen paid 10,000, and his good friend Hu Guanxi paid 10,000. Chen Kangle paid off the debts directly, and then paid 5,000 to Aunt Axia, 5,000 to Uncle Yuan, 10,000 to Second Uncle, and 5,000 to Guo Shujie.
There are only four creditors left at the moment: Aunt Axia owes 15,000 yuan, Uncle Yuan owes 15,000 yuan, Second Uncle owes 20,000 yuan, and Guo Shujie owes 15,000 yuan.
The total outstanding balance was only 65,000.
Sixty-five thousand!
Chen Kangle put in a lot of effort to go from over 200,000 to 65,000.
The days of paying off the debt will soon be over, and Chen Kangle feels that he can soon unload the burden on himself and become a free man without debt.
"It will be soon!" Chen Kangle clenched his fist and cheered himself up.
That night, Chen Kangle had another beautiful dream. In the dream, she paid off the remaining 65,000 yuan. Excited, she took her grandmother out to play. Her grandmother, who had never been far away, had a lot of fun.
Chen Kangle has already made plans. After paying off all the debts, she will take her grandmother on a trip. Her grandmother has worked hard all her life and has never traveled outside the province.
