Chapter 445 The two of them deliver food together
"Stop looking, they've all gone far away!" Zhu Chengye said.
Her tone was slightly teasing, and her aunt-like smile became even more pronounced.
"I didn't look at him!" Wan Qiqi replied weakly, turning around and walking into the restaurant.
"Okay, I didn't watch it!" Zhu Chengye smiled helplessly.
He noticed that the couple, who had been married for several years and whose eldest child was six or seven years old, looked like unmarried teenagers.
Is this what young people's interests are?
He couldn't help but touch his face, his fingertips rubbing the stiff stubble, his brows furrowing slightly.
Am I getting old?
Wan Qiqi turned her head and forgot about Chen Yongnian's matter, because she saw Si Xi checking the delivery orders by herself.
Although she was a woman, she was meticulous in her work.
She checks each packaged dish again to make sure there are no mistakes or omissions before she closes the food box and delivers it.
After checking, Si Xi gritted her teeth, picked up the food box, met Wan Qiqi's gaze, smiled, and walked out with the food box.
Wan Qiqi's eyes darted around, and she turned to look at Zhu Chengye, saying, "I have an idea to alleviate the restaurant's current problems. I wonder if Brother Zhu would agree?"
"Go on," Zhu Chengye said. He noticed that Wan Qiqi was somewhat obsessed with relationships, but she also became very quick to react when it came to the restaurant.
Time flies, and a day has passed in the blink of an eye.
When Tie Niu and Sixi returned from delivering food, they met at the restaurant counter. They remained silent and seemed somewhat indifferent.
Seeing the two approaching, Liu Ji immediately said, "There are two urgent orders that need to be delivered. The two orders are next to each other, but there are quite a few items, so I'm afraid one person can't deliver them all. The others haven't returned yet, so why don't you two each deliver one?"
As the foreman, he gave orders that the two men couldn't object to, but now his tone carried a hint of inquiry.
"I'm fine with anything," Sixi replied calmly, her face expressionless.
"Okay, give me the heavier portion!" Remembering Wu Gousheng and Wan Qiqi's instructions, Tie Niu took the initiative to do the heavy work and take care of the girl, Sixi.
Si Xi was taken aback and wanted to retort, but then remembered Fang Luxue's words and swallowed her words back.
She is a woman, so they treat her the way women treat women; it's not that they look down on her.
Si Xi silently reminded himself, trying his best to suppress his displeasure.
Seeing that the two were not arguing, Liu Ji handed over the food box and said, "These two guests from East Street are regulars at the restaurant. Please take good care of them and don't let them down."
He then added, "Guests from all directions have recently started doing delivery business as well. We must retain our regular customers and avoid conflicts with them, lest we lose them."
"Okay," they both answered in unison, exchanged a glance, and then fell silent again.
Liu Ji first handed the middle portion to Tie Niu, then gave the lighter portion to Sixi, and watched the two of them leave.
The weather has been great lately, and the temperature has risen. I can walk around the street with a food box without my hands getting cold like before.
Si Xi's food box was light, but he was weaker than Tie Niu, so the two walked at about the same speed.
If the places you're going to are adjacent, you'll definitely be taking the same route.
But the two did not communicate or interact with each other along the way, acting like two strangers.
They didn't actually want it to be this way, but they were worried about the other person's status and didn't know how to bring it up.
Near the alley entrance of East First Street, Tie Niu was too exhausted and roughly placed the food box on the ground.
Seeing this, Sixi stopped and gently put down the food box, saying, "You'll shake the food inside like that. At best, it will affect the appearance, and at worst, it will affect the taste."
Tie Niu rested his hands on his knees, panting heavily.
Finally, she looked up at Sixi and said, "The food box is so heavy and the journey is so long, it will definitely affect the taste. Just explain it to the customers, they will understand!"
Si Xi gave him a cold look, walked up to him, picked up the heavy food box with both hands and walked forward, gritting her teeth and saying, "Go and explain to Manager Wan that if we mess this up, we'll all have to have our pay docked."
“I’ve already had ten days’ worth of fines deducted. If the rest are deducted, I won’t have enough to cover my grandmother’s medical expenses, and I still have to pay rent and groceries. I don’t want to be dragged down by you!”
As she spoke, she had already carried the food box several meters away.
Seeing her struggling, Tie Niu immediately rushed over, grabbed the empty space in the food box, and said, "Then you take your portion, don't touch mine. If I get scolded, that's my problem, it has nothing to do with you."
"It has nothing to do with me, but it does to the restaurant." Sixi didn't press the issue, knowing that he really couldn't lift it, so he gave up.
She turned back, picked up her original food box, and walked forward, asking, "Do you need my help?"
"No need. I'm a man, how could I be any weaker than you?" After resting for a while, Tie Niu regained his strength and carried forward with ease.
He paused for a moment, then turned around and said, "I didn't mean to belittle you, don't overthink it."
He was afraid that his words would make the other person cry again.
Si Xi lowered her eyes slightly, revealing no emotion, and said, "It's nothing. What you said is true. I'm a woman, and I'm naturally weaker than you guys."
As they talked, they arrived at the door of the house where they were to be delivered.
Although neither of these families were wealthy, they did own shops, and what they asked for was the address of their shops.
Therefore, the two exchanged a glance before entering the room.
Si Xi put down the food box, knocked on the open door, and said, "Excuse me, is Mr. Yuan in? The food from Xinglong Restaurant is here!"
“Bring it in!” a young woman replied, gesturing to Sixi to place it somewhere.
Si Xi looked at it curiously.
The woman was dressed rather elegantly, so she must be a lady from a wealthy family.
