With 3,500 yuan in her pocket, Mi Qing felt a little excited.
The usual 3,500 yuan may not be enough for her to buy a piece of clothing, but the current 3,500 yuan is as precious as life-saving money.
On the way back, she calculated carefully, and in addition to the 300 yuan to the landlord, she still had 3200 yuan left. As long as she didn't buy things randomly, 3200 yuan should be enough for her monthly living expenses.
The next thing to do is to find a job as soon as possible. With a fixed income, you can live more abundantly.
She originally wanted to rush home immediately to write a resume and post it on a large scale online, but before she even reached the gate of Nancheng Garden, she smelled a mind-blowing aroma.
She stopped where she was and smelled it carefully, and it was the smell of string incense.
Mi Qing looked around, and sure enough, she saw a skewer shop diagonally across the road, named Xiangpiao Shili.
Well, although the name is a bit vulgar, the aroma is really craving.
Mi Qing was a little hesitant, eating skewers seemed a bit extravagant, but she had been hungry for two days, and she really wanted to have a good meal.
She thought about it, and she could afford to eat a hundred yuan at most by herself.
A gust of cold wind brought bursts of aroma again, Mi Qing shivered in the wind, and decided to eat skewers to keep warm.
Seeing a customer coming to the door, the waiter in the shop with a fragrance of ten miles warmly greeted him. When he saw Mi Qing clearly, his eyes brightened. He put on the brightest smile in his life, and asked Mi Qing: "Beauty, how many are you? Do you have a reservation?"
Mi Qing took a good look at him. He should be wearing work clothes from the store, a bit like Hanfu, but for the convenience of work, they are all short.
She smiled and said to Xiao Er: "I don't have an appointment, I'm alone."
There are not many customers in the store now, so the waiter looked around and led Mi Qing inside: "Come and sit here."
Mi Qing followed him in, and took a look around. The decoration style of this store is rather ancient, and even the prints on the tableware are full of ancient charm. The waiters in the store are all wearing uniforms and look clean and tidy.
Passing a staircase, she glanced up and asked curiously, "Is there any room upstairs?"
The waiter said: "There are private rooms upstairs, and there is also an office area. Do you want to sit in a private room?"
Mi Qing thought for a while: "Will there be an additional fee?"
Xiao Er nodded: "Yes."
"Oh, forget it." Mi Qing shrugged and continued to follow the second brother.
When she arrived at the table, she paid special attention to it. The tables and chairs were clean, without the greasy feeling of ordinary restaurants. As soon as she sat down on the seat, she heard a woman shouting: "Xiao Dezi, come here to welcome the guests, can't you move your legs when you see beautiful women?"
Mi Qing looked up and saw a woman in a red cheongsam walking towards her.
Her clothes are different from those of the waitresses in the store, and her position should be higher than that of ordinary waiters.
The shop waiter who received Mi Qing saw her, and quickly shouted at her: "Sister Rong Rong, don't talk nonsense, the boss will deduct my bonus again after hearing about it."
The woman called Sister Rong waved her hand at him, as if she wanted to wave him away: "Go, entertain the guests, leave this to me."
"Good, good, good."
Xiao Dezi hurriedly ran to the door to lead the way. Sister Rongrong looked at Mi Qing and smiled at her, "Beauty, is this the first time you come to our store to eat skewers? I haven't seen you before."
Mi Qing said: "Well, I just moved here yesterday."
Sister Rongrong nodded, and didn't ask any more questions: "Our place tastes very good, come and eat more in the future when you have time." She said while helping Mi Qing pour tea, "Are you alone? What pot to eat?"
"Red pot." Mi Qing thought for a while, then added, "The spiciest kind."
Sister Rongrong smiled and put down the teapot: "Okay, over there is the vegetable selection area, you can take whatever you like, one yuan and five for the long stick, and three cents for the short stick."
"Oh, good." Mi Qing nodded, and Sister Rongrong went to tell the waiter. Mi Qing looked at her and thought, this Sister Rongrong seems to be quite good at doing business, and she is not bad looking, so she must be the proprietress, right
Three plates of potatoes were served in the vegetable selection area, and when Mi Qing walked back to her seat, the waiter just brought the pots.
"When it's boiled, you can serve the dishes. In the condiment area over there, you can make dipping dishes yourself." The waiter turned on the fire at the bottom of the pot and introduced it to Mi Qing.
"Okay, thank you." Mi Qing glanced at the condiment area, first went to dip a plate, and then proceeded to choose dishes. When she came back with a basket of food, the bottom of the pot had just boiled.
It's just perfect.
She took off her coat and hung it on the back of the chair, and began to put food into the pot. Before the first pot was cooked, she saw a familiar figure walking in from the door.
It was her landlord Xiao Gu.
... She suddenly felt that she didn't have much appetite, and she could probably save half of the money tonight.
There are already more customers in the store at this time, and almost all the waiters are busy. Xiao Gu looked around and saw Mi Qing sitting inside.
He seemed to twitch the corner of his mouth, and then walked towards Mi Qing: "If you have money, come to eat skewers, it seems that the clothes are sold?"
Mi Qing secretly rolled her eyes: "Why are you here?"
It's really unlucky to meet him after eating a bunch of skewers.
What was even more unlucky, however, was what Xiao Gu said next.
"Because this is my shop."
Mi Qing: "..."
Xiao Gu looked around on her table and said, "With so many potatoes, it seems that the price is not good?"
Mi Qing: "..."
He said she would forget it, what to do with potatoes! Is it wrong to like to eat potatoes!
She raised her head and glared at Xiao Gu angrily: "What's wrong with potatoes? Do you know how delicious potatoes are? I used to go out to eat with others, and they wouldn't let me take potatoes. They always said that I couldn't eat potatoes if I ate them too early." Other things. I had to put potatoes in the last pot, but I was almost full at that time, and I couldn’t eat many potatoes at all. Then they said, you have a lot of potatoes left every time, and you have to take them every time ! Now I’m finally eating skewers alone, and you still want me to take potatoes?!”
Xiao Gu: "..."
I don't know if it's because it's the first time Mi Qing has spoken to him in such a long series of words, or because the content of the words is so tortuous and sad that he feels speechless.
He smiled at Mi Qing, and said, "If you like potatoes, get more. We have a lot of potatoes here, after all, no one else eats them very much."
Mi Qing: "..."
She really wanted to put a potato on his face!
At the same time, two more families walked in the door, they were the little fat man and the little black man who were stopped by Xiao Gu before.
They are regular customers here, and it is because they are familiar with Xiao Gu that they came to ask him for their parents' signatures.
Little Fatty and Little Heizi had just been trained by Xiao Gu this afternoon, and they didn't want to take care of his business at all, but their parents loved the skewers here. The little fat man had a slumped face from the moment he came in, and what he didn't expect was that Xiao Gu was also in the store.
He put on an expression of seeing an enemy, and when he saw Mi Qing next to Xiao Gu, his round eyes lit up, and he shouted loudly at Xiao Gu: "Boss Xiao, who is that beauty?"
Xiao Gu looked back at them, smiled and said, "It's the new tenant you helped me find."
fatty:"… "
He couldn't accept such a cruel reality: "Lie..." After realizing that his parents were by his side, he stopped in time.
Little Heizi who was with him had already walked to Mi Qing's desk at some point, and said to Mi Qing with a smile on his face, "Sister, why don't you come and live with us, the rent is only 199, including utilities."
Mi Qing's eyes lit up, Xiao Gu lowered his head and glanced at Xiao Heizi: "Do you have a real estate certificate?"
Little Heizi refused to admit defeat and said, "My parents have it!"
"But we didn't intend to rent out the house." Xiao Heizi's mother lifted him by the back collar and carried him away.
Xiao Gu took a look at Mi Qing, and said calmly, "The beef is going to be overcooked."
Mi Qing: "..."
She quickly scooped up a handful of beef, put it in a dipping plate, and picked it off one by one.
Xiao Gu turned around and walked towards the second floor. Lin Jingrong, who was greeting the guests, saw him go upstairs and followed him.
"You rented out the house? I haven't heard you mention it before." She asked.
Xiao Gu put his hands in the pockets of his coat, and responded casually: "Well, the little fat man and the others are playing a prank."
Lin Jingrong was puzzled: "What kind of prank?"
Xiao Gudao: "They put my phone number on the rental advertisement."
Lin Jingrong: "..."
Children nowadays really dare not mess with them.
She glanced at Xiao Gu and asked, "Since it's a prank, you can explain it clearly to her, right?"
Xiao Gu said: "Her money was stolen, and she is a foreigner. If I don't take her in, she will probably have to sleep in a bridge hole."
Lin Jingrong was silent for a while, then said: "Yes, she is such a beautiful girl, it is really not safe to be outside alone."
Xiao Gu nodded slightly: "Yes."
Lin Jingrong paused, and stopped: "Then I will continue to work, and this is the time when there are many people."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and went downstairs, subconsciously looking in Mi Qing's direction.
She eats very carefully, like a rich lady from a rich family—in fact, she thought so just now when she was dressed.
How could such a young lady come to City A alone? After something happened, why didn't you contact your family and friends
Xiao Gu must have considered these things, but he still chose to take her in.
Lin Jingrong stood there for a while, then turned and went to the kitchen.
After Mi Qing cleaned up the beef in the pot, she happily poured the potatoes into it. As soon as she sat down, she saw that Rong Rong from before came over with a bowl of cold cake.
Mi Qing said: "I didn't order this."
Lin Jingrong put the cold cake on the table and smiled at her: "I gave this to you. You are so narrow when you first come here, so you should treat us as landlords."
Mi Qing looked at her gratefully: "Thank you, you are much more generous than your boss."
Lin Jingrong couldn't help laughing: "Business people are inevitably a bit stingy. In fact, our boss is very good to employees. As long as you don't steal his dried mangoes, you can say anything."
Mi Qing: "..."
