Just at this moment.

Xiao Zhu's cheeks were dripping with sweat, and there was still a little dust on his nose, his face was flushed red by the smoke from the back kitchen, and he ran out with two dishes in his hands: "Brother, you should try my cooking."

Bian Wu was so hungry that he was about to roll his eyes, he was not polite, he ran to the counter to get the wine, opened it first and poured it, took two sips, picked up the chopsticks and picked up two chopsticks dishes, after chewing a few times, a pair of eyes After turning around twice, I immediately gave a thumbs up: "Miss Bamboo, this is too delicious!"

This may be the so-called...delicious?

Xiaozhu was appreciated and very happy, standing by the side and laughing.

I tasted it, and the taste is really good, the style is completely different from Xu Qing's Lao Modu's local cuisine, so I asked, "Shandong cuisine?"

Xiaozhu wondered: "How do you know?! These two dishes are not representative of Lu cuisine."

Sister Jiuer once took me to stay in Lu Province for two years.

Of course I know the unique taste of Shandong cuisine.

I told Xu Qing and Xiao Jing not to settle accounts any more, and come here to have a taste first.

The two of them came over, and after eating, they were full of praise for Xiao Zhu's cooking skills.

Xu Qing couldn't hide his excitement, and said: "Then my small restaurant will be released from now on. Miss Xiaozhu can cook Shandong cuisine, so we added another sign. Let me tell you, brother, the current income is really high. It was beyond my surprise, and I made more money than I did as a small... Xiaogong!"

"After a while, the few of us will settle the bill. I thought, Xiao Jing is also working very hard, working during the day and guarding the store at night. Can she also get some shares? The salary of just being a waiter is too low. She The few people in my hometown rely on her for food, and my younger brother is going to school. Little brother, do you think it’s okay? If you think it’s okay, can you discuss it with Xiao Lan?”

When speaking the last few words.

There was an obvious pleading look on Xu Qing's face.

She is so kind.

Everything is considered for others.

In fact, in her hometown in Modu, she herself has a bastard father who is as dissatisfied as a black hole.

As far as this store is concerned, Fatty Xiao and I didn't do much at all. Xu Qing took care of the location, choosing the name of the store, purchasing utensils, internal and external arrangements, and building a reputation, etc. all by himself.But in Xu Qing's heart, she always thinks that I brought her this day, and everything depends on my opinion.

Xiao Jing lowered her head when she heard the words, a little afraid to look at me.

I replied: "OK!"

Xu Qing was very excited, and immediately turned to Xiao Jing and said, "Silly girl, why don't you thank the big boss!"

Xiaojing got up quickly when she heard the words, her eyes were flushed: "Thank you, boss!"

Seeing their hopeful looks, I couldn't bear it, and a word stuck in my throat, and I wanted to say it but didn't say it.

But after eating two bites of rice.

I felt that this matter could not be delayed any longer, so I said to them: "Sister, I want to close this restaurant."

Xu Qing was eating, and almost spit out his mouthful.

She quickly took a tissue, covered her mouth, turned her head away, and kept coughing.

Xiao Jing was stunned and got up quickly.

"Big boss... I... I don't want shares anymore, so I just need a salary? It can be lowered! You must not close this restaurant! Sister Xu spends all her time and energy in this restaurant every day. It's her greatest hope, just like her child. You also know, all these years, she...it's not easy for her to be brave enough to start this restaurant. "

When speaking the last few words.

Xiao Jing was already crying a little.

I know what she means.

These days Xu Qing and Xiao Jing are together every day, Xu Qing has no intentions, she must have told Xiao Jing everything about her past.

I don't know if it's because of the cough or something else.

Xu Qing's eyes were slightly red.

She picked up the paper towel on the table, wiped her mouth, and asked with a very tangled and sad expression: "Little brother, why? I also earn a lot of money, and my sister still has a job to do."

Bian Wu and Xiaozhu knew the reason.

But I didn't speak, they didn't dare to speak, and buried their heads in eating.

I definitely can't tell Xu Qing the real reason.

"It's just temporarily closed, not closed all the time. I'm planning a bigger store, and we can make more money then."

"Xiao Jing went back to her hometown in the countryside for vacation, her salary was paid as usual, and her shares were paid as usual. When the new store reopens, you will come to help sister Xu."

"Sister, you've worked so hard these days, I'll let Xiaozhu accompany you to go shopping around, and go to other places to check other people's experience in opening a store."

Xu Qing and Xiao Jing were a little dazed and looked at each other in blank dismay.

After half an hour.

Xiao Jing said: "Boss, our small store has just made a name for itself, and now it is closed, which means that all the previous efforts are in vain. Even if we open a new store, we have to wait until the source of customers is completely stable, and my sister also told me However, she doesn't have much wish, she just wants to live a peaceful life, I think this store is really good..."

I didn't say a word and looked at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing looked gloomy, bit his lip, and said, "Xiao Jing, don't talk anymore. Let's listen to the big boss and close the business in the afternoon."

When Xiao Jing heard this, tears welled up in her eyes.

It's not a good meal.

Not everyone has the right to live a small life.

Like me, and the people around me.

I personally gave Xu Qing the hope of living a small life, and now I have extinguished it.

After dinner.

Xu Qing remained silent, and went to the back kitchen alone to clean up the dishes.

Xiao Jing felt a little angry, lying on the counter pretending to sleep, shrugging her shoulders, sobbing.

In fact, they already knew in their hearts that this store was closed, and maybe it would never open again.

Xiao Zhu tugged at the corner of my clothes and said, "Brother, go and talk to Sister Xu."

I got up and went to the back kitchen.

bright and clean.

Spatulas, seasonings, and dishes are neatly stacked.

Xu Qing was washing the dishes in the sink without saying a word.

I said, "Sister, I'm sorry."

Hearing this, Xu Qing stopped washing the dishes, wiped her hands on the apron, turned around, grabbed my hand softly, and asked with reddened eyes, "Tell sister, Is something wrong?"

I shook my head: "It's okay, don't think too much about it."

Xu Qing bowed his head and replied: "Don't lie to me, you won't let Xiaozhu follow me if it's okay. Xiaozhu is not an ordinary girl. The back kitchen was too busy just now. When I saw her frying eggs, in order to save time, she stayed a few meters away. Throwing the egg liquid into the pan without splashing the oil or dispersing the egg liquid is not something a chef can do.”

I replied: "This girl did perform juggling for a while before."

Xu Qing had tears in her eyes, but said nothing.

I said, "You really don't have to worry about making money. I'm not short of money, and neither are you."

Now the jade belt gentian beads are still with Fatty Xiao.

Now that I am going to extinguish the incense on the Jinling Yellow Gate Shrine, I can give the beads to Lu Cenyin right away. Even if I don't ask for a price, the money she will give will definitely not be less than the gilt doll.

Xu Qing sighed quietly, and gently stroked my palm: "I'm not worried about making money."

then.

She said something that I will remember forever.
