After entering February, even Paris, a warm city affected by the Mediterranean climate, began to become cold, especially yesterday's ice rain, which knocked down many plum blossoms that the owner specially planted in front of the restaurant, which made Jacqueline feel distressed when he thought about it.

So early in the morning, Jacqueline picked up the remaining flowers that had fallen yesterday, covered the remaining plum blossoms with the plastic sheeting she had just bought, and then stayed alone in the shop, looking at the Seine River flowing in front of the door.

In retrospect, she spent her 22nd and 23rd birthdays at this Chinese-owned restaurant. Coming from the countryside of Paris, like many of the countrymen who came to work in the city, once she stayed in the city, she never wanted to go back, and now she shuddered at the thought of the poor security in the countryside, when her parents were shot with shotguns by several rioters who confronted the police, and the warm family was shattered.

Although the French citizenship welfare is good, it must be able to get it, not to mention that Jacqueline is a strong girl, her self-esteem does not allow her to live by receiving benefits, so she came to the city of 'Little Paris', it is the Chinese owner of this restaurant who took her in, so that she can earn money at the same time, but also feel a lot of warmth from this harmonious family.

She loved the restaurant, her boss, Jing Jingzhou, her hot-tempered father, and her old mother, who always treated her like a daughter, and even though the owner's husband was an unobtrusive painter who always liked to use words to tease her and ask her to be a mannequin, Jacqueline could still feel it. This guy named Henry is not a complete bad person, but he likes to occasionally have crooked thoughts about girls, just like those French gentlemen who look like dogs.

It is precisely because of this experience that she has never left this declining restaurant, since the owner went home to sit in the 'confinement' of the Chinese, the business of the store began to plummet, even the chef handed in his resignation and went home, and the bad Henry always used all kinds of methods to cheat the store's working capital. Now not only can I not pay the salaries of the clerks, but I also have no money to buy ingredients. Jacqueline had just gone to the back kitchen to take a look, and there were only some dry bread and a few eggs left, as well as half a pot of leftover rice with Chinese characteristics

It's 9 a.m. Even the French, who are the second lazy people in Europe after Italy, have come to breakfast, but so far, except for the long-term stay in the shop. None of those employees came to work.

"These unconscionable guys"

Jacqueline muttered a curse, but got to work anyway. Although she knew that cleaning the floor, table, and service desk was useless, she still did it very seriously, well, for the boss sister of Huaxia

"Whew—"

She had just finished wiping the table when she heard the familiar sound of brakes coming from outside the door, and a dusty silver sign 409 with a roof stopped in front of the door, which, like its owner, was parked crookedly and unshaped.

"Henry, sloppiness doesn't make you a real artist, if I were you. The car will be cleaned carefully. ”

Zhou Yi walked out of the car door, and browsed the mixed Chinese and Western restaurant called 'Linshui Champs', and nodded slightly, the environment here is very good, and the storefront decoration is also very distinctive.

Zhou Jingjing's restaurant is located on the banks of the Seine. It's not far from the 11th arrondissement. It can attract some French and Chinese who like Chinese cuisine, but will not compete with their Chinatown counterparts for business; the architectural style of the restaurant is like a house in a suburban town, with some Gothic characteristics and practicality; the exterior wall is pasted with pale green tiles, and a few fiery red plum trees are planted in front of the door, with red, green, water and wood, as if the sound and color can jump directly into people's eyes. It's impossible to keep people looking. …,

"That little girl in a service dress is really hardworking, but why is she the only one working?"

"Well, I don't know about that."

Henry shrunk his neck, not daring to tell the truth at all. In the seven or eight days after Zhou Jingjing gave birth to the baby, it was he who took away the working capital of the store, otherwise how could this restaurant, which had been in operation for more than two years, be reduced to this?

"You don't know?"

Zhou Yi glanced at him, didn't say anything, walked to Jacqueline's side, and said in French, which was still a little rusty: "Hello Miss, are you the service staff here?" My name is Zhou Yi, I am from Huaxia, and the boss here is my sister." ”

"You're the boss's brother, and my name is Jacqueline, and it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

Jacqueline looked at Zhou Yihe and Henry standing behind him, since this Huaxia man can come with Henry, there should be no problem with his identity, but who knows? Henry always has a lot of ghost ideas, God knows if this Huaxia young man is with him, and what tricks are he going to play?

So Jacqueline didn't show much enthusiasm, greeted Zhou Yi, and ran to the side to wipe the service desk, not treating him much.

"Miss Jacqueline, can you tell me why you are the only one working in this shop, and why there are no customers here yet?"

Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment, thinking that he didn't say that the French girl was very enthusiastic, why did this girl ignore me? But he didn't give up, and still walked over and asked in detail.

"The young man was very polite, and Henry was nervous when he asked me, and it seemed that they were not in the same group. ”

Henry was so nervous that he was in a cold sweat. My God, how can Zhou speak French? Although he is still very rusty, it does not prevent him from communicating, and when it is over, my trouble is coming

Jacqueline took a closer look at Zhou Yi and found that the eyebrows and eyes of this Chinese man were really similar to Zhou Jingjing. I believed his words a little: "Mr. Zhou, the chefs in the store are gone, the workers are gone, and now I am the only one left." And we don't even have the money to buy ingredients. ”

"How can this be?

"The last money was taken yesterday by Mr. Henry"

Jacqueline glanced at Henry a little timidly. She was originally very nervous, but her love for the 'Linshui Champs' still gave her the courage to testify against Henry.

"Henry, my dear brother-in-law. That's all you said to me?"

Zhou Yi sneered and grabbed Henry, who was trying to grease the soles of his feet, and carried him back to the store like a chicken.

In front of Jacqueline, Zhou Yi didn't give him any face. These words are in French. Henry's dim sum machine was not enough to watch in front of him, and he watched TV for half the night last night, and with his superhuman memory and intelligence, he broke through the French to the point where he could communicate normally. is to prevent this girl from fooling herself, and now she is really using it.

"I was wrong Zhou, everything is my fault, you know, it was those damn gamblers who coerced me, and if I didn't go, I would be pestered and even beaten by them, and I wouldn't even be able to create with peace of mind. Zhou, you have to believe that I am a real artist and that I just lack a little bit of luck right now."

Henry once again felt the power of his brother-in-law, in front of Zhou Yi. Apparently tall and strong, he had no room to resist at all.

"Artist, just those naked ~ women you painted?"

As soon as he thought of Henry's work, Zhou Yi wanted to laugh. This guy fully embodies the strong strength of a realistic painter in a woman, but unfortunately his impressionist works can't be seen at all, like an idiot's dream, not reliable at all. …,

"Week. I'm going to mend my ways, trust me. ”

"Sounds good, let's start with the basics, help Miss Jacqueline clean up!"

Zhou Yi unceremoniously threw him to the ground, took the mop from Jacqueline's hand and stuffed it into his hand.

"Zhou, let a future master of painting mop the floor. You're committing a crime!" Henry straightened up, feeling that he should maintain his image in front of Jacqueline, a little beauty.

"Still wordy?" Zhou Yi glared.

"No, no, I'll do it right away! In fact, art also comes from life, I'm experiencing life, Jacqueline, don't laugh at your boss"

Thus Henry began his 'life test' in a pitiful way. Not to mention, this girl is very talented, and the ground is mopped realistically enough, and even flies can't bear to fall on it when it's clean.

"Hey, Jacqueline, why is the store so deserted today?"

A red-bearded old man who pushed the door in saved Henry, and when he walked in, Henry put down the mop as if he had seen the savior, and rushed over: "Hello, Mr. Mo Baisan, it's been three months since you last came to the door, right?"

"Hehe, yes"

The red-bearded old man smiled, "Last time I came, I promised your wife to help her promote your restaurant." You see, I've brought all the most beautiful hostesses and photographers of Paris TV with me, and I'm here today for an interview. But you have to come up with the best food, and you know I'm never going to make false claims for anyone. ”

"God, Mr. Zhou, Mr. Mo Baisang is here, what can I do?"

Seeing the old man, Jacqueline looked a little nervous.

"Who is he, from the TV station?"

Zhou Yi saw the blonde girl who was following the red-bearded old man into the store and the French man carrying the camera, and vaguely guessed a few points, and said in his heart that it wouldn't be such a coincidence, right?

"He's from the Paris Food Channel, he's a well-known foodie. ”

Jacqueline quickly explained to Zhou Yi that this old man was a gourmand who loved Chinese cuisine, and it was said that he was very prestigious in most of Europe, and he became her good friend because he liked Zhou Jingjing's family dish 'carp back'. A few months ago, this old man promised Zhou Jingjing to do an interview for 'Linshui Champs', but he didn't want to delay coming until now, and it was very inopportune.

This old man is notoriously serious, and if he can't eat something that satisfies him today, the 'Linshui Champs' will not only lose the opportunity for this publicity, but may also end up with negative publicity, which will be put on TV as a typical example of failure. Foreigners like tricks very much, regardless of whether you are a friend or not.

"I see. ”

Zhou Yi smiled slightly: "Then what else can we eat in our store now?"
