This boss seems to be a bit arrogant, it's a pity he's a guy, it would be so much more interesting if he were a girl!
After sitting in the shop for about half an hour, around 7 o'clock, the first group of customers of the day finally arrived. Judging from their expressions and demeanor, they were office workers from the neighborhood. Sure enough, after ordering, the five of them sat down and began complaining about their work, their colleagues, and their boss...
"Good evening. Here's a small dish of braised dishes for you to try." Liu Tong placed a small plate containing a quarter of a lotus root, a potato, three edamame beans, and a chopstickful of shredded pig's ear on the table of the five people and said politely, "If you think it tastes good, you can order a braised platter, which is three vegetarian dishes and one meat dish for twenty-six yuan."
"Thank you, thank you."
After thanking them, the five young people not only did not taste the dish of braised food, but also deliberately avoided it. It seems that these five people were also among the victims of the braised food made by the barbecue shop owner.
Alright, if this table doesn't work, there's always the next one. Liu Tong sent out five servings of braised dishes and side dishes in a row, but everyone had a strong memory of the boss's braised dishes. There were seventeen people in five tables in the shop, but not a single person dared to try them!
Just as Liu Tong was hesitating whether to say that the braised dish wasn't cooked by the owner himself, he caught a glimpse of one of the five office workers. While chatting, he reached for the enoki mushrooms in the foil wrapper with his chopsticks. Because he wasn't looking at the dish, his sense of direction was a bit off, and the chopsticks landed squarely on the braised lotus root. Under the horrified gazes of the other four, he put it into his mouth.
"What's wrong? What's wrong with you all..." the person asked while chewing, but stopped halfway through the question. This taste is not right! This doesn't taste like enoki mushrooms wrapped in tin foil. It tastes more like braised food. He subconsciously turned his head to spit it on the ground, but chewed it a couple of times in his mouth against his will.
No, this tastes wrong!
The man's sudden stop startled the two people who were about to hand him tissues and beer. They stared blankly as the man quickly chewed and swallowed the braised food.
"This tastes pretty good? Not sure, let me try again." The man picked up another piece of potato with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth, savoring it carefully. This time, the more he chewed, the brighter his eyes became.
Seeing the man's behavior, the other four people all looked at the dish of braised food, which only had three edamame beans and a chopstickful of braised pig's ear left. After hesitating for a moment, they also picked up their chopsticks, picked up a piece of pig's ear, and put it in their mouths.
*Smack...smack...smack...gulp!*
Almost as soon as they swallowed, the four of them turned to look at Liu Tong and said in unison, "Boss, a platter of braised dishes, please!"
"Here it comes! The braised food platter for five people is here, 26 yuan!" Liu Tong said with a big smile, picking up a neatly stacked plate of braised food and placing it on the table. He took the bills they handed him, waved them proudly at the barbecue shop owner, and mouthed, "All done!"
As the four men ate their beer and braised dishes with gusto, four other tables of customers reached for the complimentary braised dishes with some skepticism. Then, four different voices rang out at the same time: "Boss, a braised dish platter, please!"
