With the spread of word of mouth, Chen Xing's business is getting better day by day, and more and more people come. Sometimes, people are already waiting there before he arrives.
On this day, just as Chen Xing found a place to put his wheelbarrow away, the aunt who had been waiting there for a long time yelled: "You little boss, why do you come so late every time, my grandson is still waiting for dinner! By the way, remember to pack more for me today!"
After finishing speaking, he handed Chen Xing a big bowl that he brought with him, and asked Chen Xing to help her make today's meal.
Seeing that she came to buy it every day, Chen Xing didn't care about the extra advantage she took, and gave her a meal with a smile, and said with a smile: "Here, Mrs. Sheng, your meal!"
Aunt Sheng took the meal, looked at Chen Xing's smiling face, endured it but still couldn't hold it back, leaned in front of Chen Xing and asked, "Little boss, how do you make this tofu? Can you teach me? My grandson loves to eat this."
It was the first time Chen Xing encountered such a question, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer it.
Just when Chen Xing was in a dilemma, the man behind Aunt Sheng yelled loudly, "Auntie, are you confused? This is the little boss's ability to eat, can I tell you? Get out as soon as you buy the meal, Don't delay us brothers from eating."
Aunt Sheng turned her head angrily, wanting to argue with him, but who knew that when she turned her head, she saw a few thick-bodied men, who were also cowed for a moment, complained a few words, and left with her meal. If it weren't for her precious grandson to eat more food, she wouldn't come to buy this thing, it's really unlucky.
Seeing Mrs. Sheng left, Chen Xing smiled at the man who was helping him, took the money he gave, bought him a bowl of rice, and specially added a little extra mapo tofu for him.
Chen Xing's business is booming here. In a restaurant diagonally across from him, a woman is leaning against the wall, staring fiercely at Chen Xing's direction, and said with a contemptuous smile: "Hu Meizi~ she only does business by seducing men." gone."
The waiter next to the woman looked at his charming proprietress, and then at the plainly dressed, down-to-earth little brother who was doing business, and didn't dare to answer this question.
The woman stared at Chen Xing for a while, and when she saw a foolish figure entering the store from the corner of her eye, the expression on her face immediately became flattering, and she smiled at the man, "Brother Lai Jiu, why are you here today when you have time?" ?”
Lai Jiu didn't look at her, just found a seat and sat down, said bluntly: "Of course I come here when I have something to do, hurry up, serve me some food, I have to go to work after I finish eating. By the way, put more meat , The bird smell has faded out of my mouth for the past two days."
The smile on the woman's face froze for a moment, looking at Lai Jiu who asked for a drink, she still didn't dare to answer back.
When the woman came out after ordering the cook, Nai Jiu was looking at the shop and asked doubtfully, "Boss Qiao, why is your shop so deserted?"
In the shop that could seat more than a dozen tables, now only seven or eight tables are occupied.
Boss Qiao looked at Lai Jiu and complained: "You don't know, recently we have another food seller here. He only sells one kind of vegetable, but he robbed most of our business."
Lai Jiu was a little curious, "Selling only one dish, can you steal so much business from you?"
Boss Qiao continued dissatisfied: "No, I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes."
Lai Jiu suddenly became interested, looked at Boss Qiao and asked: "This is a bit interesting, where is the person you mentioned?"
Seeing that Lai Jiu was interested, Boss Qiao's eyes quickly flashed a glimmer of light. She led Lai Jiu to stand at the door where Chen Xing could be seen, pointed at Chen Xing and said, "Here, it's right there."
Lai Jiu looked in the direction she was pointing at, and at the first sight, he saw a beautiful boy smiling and handing out food to others, and at the second sight, he saw the people queuing in front of him, and there were more people there than other places Several times of people also believed what Boss Qiao said.
While Lai Jiu was staring at the place, Boss Qiao whispered in his ear: "That brother sells the stall by himself every day, and the raw materials for the things he makes are cheap, so I don't know how much money he's making now. , I don’t know which guy will be cheaper in the future.”
Lai Jiu stared at Chen Xing's face, thinking gradually in his heart, if he got that brother, wouldn't he also have money and beauty.
Chen Xing, who didn't know that he was being targeted, finally sold out all the food after being busy for an hour. Apologetically, he told those who did not buy that there was no food left, and he closed the stall and went back amidst their slight complaints.
Since Chen Xing was selling things quickly, it was still early when he came back, so he went back to sleep, and went straight to the kitchen after waiting to prepare dinner for today.
On the way to the kitchen, Chen Xing looked at the weeds growing wantonly in the yard, and felt that buying animals could be put on the agenda.
Chen Xing was just busy in the kitchen, Qiu Jiu walked in slowly as if he had timed it right, looked at the dishes Chen Xing put on the chopping board, and asked curiously, "What's for dinner tonight?"
Chen Xing didn't raise his head, he lowered his head and continued to deal with the things in his hands, and replied: "I'm going to make a cold eggplant, a shredded cabbage, a tomato scrambled egg, and a three-flavored soup."
Qiu Jiu noticed something, "Why are there so many cold dishes today?"
Chen Xing put the eggplants in the pot to cook, and answered his question softly, "The weather is getting hotter and hotter recently, and it takes a long time for the food to cool naturally, so it's better to cook it directly, so Mr. Gu doesn't need to wait. In fact, I would rather make shredded chicken, which is more delicious, but the chicken is too expensive, and I can only buy it after I earn two more days."
Hearing the first half of Chen Xing's words, Qiu Jiu was a little moved. Chen Xing was so kind to his son. Hearing the second half of the sentence, thinking of Chen Xing's past skills, Qiu Jiu couldn't help swallowing, and he began to think about how to get a chicken back for this poor family in a reasonable way.
Chen Xing's movements were quick, and in less than a while, three dishes and one soup were ready.
When Chen Xing and Qiu Jiu came to the side dining room with the dishes, they saw that Gu Lang was already sitting upright in his seat and ready to eat.
Chen Xing looked at Gu Lang's correct posture, and inexplicably felt that he was a little like a child at home waiting for the adults to cook, so he couldn't help laughing, which attracted the other two people to look at him.
Chen Xing quickly restrained his expression, and explained to Gu Lang who was staring at him: "I just thought of some fun things just now."
Hearing what Chen Xing said, the two of them didn't continue to delve into it, and prepared to serve dinner.
In the past, because Gu Lang couldn't eat too hot food, he would put the dish he wanted to eat on a plate, and eat it after the dish was cold. Usually, by the time he was able to eat, Chen Xing and Qiu Jiu had already eaten half a bowl of rice.
Although Gu Lang doesn't say it every time, Chen Xing can feel that he should be unhappy, but today is different, most of the dishes on the table are cold dishes, and Gu Lang doesn't need to wait long, he can feel that Gu Lang felt much happier.
When the three of them finished their meal, Chen Xing hesitated for a moment, but still told Gu Lang his plan, "Master Gu, can I grow something in the yard?"
Gu Lang was a little stunned when he heard the words, and looked at him suspiciously, not knowing why, "What kind of animal do you keep?"
Chen Xing rubbed his nose, and said a little embarrassedly: "I haven't thought about it yet, but I think there is so much grass in the yard, it can't be wasted! We can raise some chickens, sheep, etc. or have enough money to raise a cow. In this way, we can not only keep the money from selling meat, but also get a profit even if we sell those animals, which can subsidize our family."
Seeing that Chen Xing became more and more excited as he talked, Qiu Jiu, who had already put away the bowl, glanced quietly at his young master who didn't like mess, and sure enough, that handsome face had become colder and colder.
Chen Xing finished talking about his plan with great enthusiasm, and found that the person opposite hadn't said a word, and looked in his direction strangely, with a somewhat puzzled look on his face, "Why, can't it?"
Qiu Jiu could swear that the moment Chen Xing looked at his young master, his young master's face that no one would dare to talk nonsense if he had seen it before, immediately softened.
Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing who was staring at him expectantly, the decisive 'no' got stuck in his throat, and he changed it into a more tactful way, "I'm not in good health, and I don't like making noise."
When Chen Xing heard him say this, although he was a little disappointed, it was not incomprehensible. Gu Lang's poor health required a good rest. He could only nod sullenly, and sighed, "Well, I thought I found another way to make money."
Chen Xing said goodbye to them, and prepared to go to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients for tomorrow's breakfast. Along the way, he was still thinking in his mind that he couldn't raise chickens now, so he could only earn more money in a few days, and then buy a chicken for Gu Lang to supplement his health.
Looking at the back of Chen Xing leaving in disappointment, Gu Lang pursed his lips, and asked Qiu Jiu who was standing stupidly beside him, "Why would he have that kind of thought?"
Qiu Jiu thought for a while, then thought of Chen Xing's words recently, and gave an uncertain answer, "Maybe Chen Xing thinks we are too poor, so he wants to help us increase our income. But we usually say that , no wonder he thinks that way, I think..."
Before Qiu Jiu finished speaking, Gu Lang went over with a sharp knife, and he silently closed his mouth.
Gu Lang looked at the direction where Chen Xing left, and was silent for a while, before he said: "You can find someone to deal with all the grass in the yard later, especially the ones in front of Chen Xing's house."
Gu Lang knew that Chen Xing felt that there were too many weeds in the yard like a ghost house, but he never cared about it, so he never thought about dealing with it. But since Chen Xing cares, let's deal with it, and save him from thinking about things.
Gu Lang defined his behavior as not wanting Chen Xing to have some weird thoughts again, that's all. But I don't know that some things have begun to deviate from the track.
