Chapter 32: The Maiden's Request
Ding Yuan rested, moved his wrist, and said to Chen Kai: "If you can't make up 7,000 yuan in three days, and the opening of the store is delayed, you can come to my stall and wear bamboo sticks for five days to pay off your debts." ”
Chen Kai said with a smile: "Don't be so cruel, you have been busy for less than half an hour, why do you want me to work for five days." ”
Ding Yuan said angrily: "This half an hour has almost emptied my physical strength, and I feel that I have cut all the loofahs for a year." ”
"You're exaggerating, I have a deck chair over there, you go and rest for a while. ”
Ding Yuan waved his hand, looking loveless: "Your broken recliner is squeaky on the wooden shelf, I still go back to my own territory, I have a luxurious marching bed." ”
Without waiting for Chen Kai to say anything, Ding Yuan turned around and walked out, and casually took away a bottle of iced black tea on Chen Kai's stove.
Chen Kai smiled and said, "Remember to come over and reconcile at night!"
"Got it!" Ding Yuan waved his hand and didn't look back.
Chen Kai came back to his senses and began to busily serve dishes to the guests again.
Most of the food street stalls sell more exciting food buds, which are usually popular with customers, but the weather is too hot today.
When the weather is hot, diners are already losing their appetite, and they finally catch a secret delicacy that is delicious and can extinguish the fire and cool down, how can they let it go.
Therefore, the scrambled eggs of loofah that have been cooled down will become today's popular delicacy.
Chen Kai glanced to the side when he was stir-frying, and found that the girl selling shaved ice had also pushed the cart to the vicinity of Chen Kee's dining area, and many waiting diners bought cold drinks to cool off next to them.
The girl with the slanted ponytail seemed to have choked on the sun, her face turned very red, and she also had a popsicle in her mouth, and she was busy operating the machine to make shaved ice while greeting customers.
As for the dining car of the Meijia family, Chen Kai glanced at it and found that it was no longer nearby, and it was estimated that it might be closed at noon, or the supply was not enough.
didn't have time to worry about other people's affairs, Chen Kai grabbed the kettle next to him and poured a large mouthful of warm water, shook off his arms and started working frantically.
Finally, more than forty minutes passed......
The last guest in line sat down in the dining area with a rice bowl.
"I'm almost tired and vomiting blood. ”
Chen Kai took a big breath, held his kettle with all his strength, and lay down on the simple recliner behind the stove.
This is the longest single continuous business day since the opening of the food court. It was four hours and forty minutes, from 11 o'clock to 3:40 p.m.
Chen Kai felt that the energy of the two bites of rice bowls he ate at noon had completely disappeared, and his stomach had a tight sense of hunger, and because of the hot weather, the water evaporated too quickly, and he felt a little out of strength.
It's already thirty-forty, and a little more than an hour away, and it's dinner time again.
With a feeling of weakness in his heart, Chen Kai couldn't help laughing, he was actually a little worried that there were too many customers.
Chen Kai's wrist trembled a little, he didn't take it out of his pocket once, and only took out his mobile phone for the second time, and raised it in front of him with some trembling, swiping the screen to check his e-wallet balance.
"I'll it! It's more than 8,000!"
Chen Kai himself was a little surprised......
It was sold for more than 3,000 yuan at noon.
In just a few hours at noon, more than 300 rice bowls were made, no wonder he was as tired as a dog.
Seeing the balance in his account, Chen Kai looked up at the awning on the stove, although his body seemed to be falling apart, but he finally felt some more comfort in his heart.
The money to open a store should be fine.
In the past, Chen Kai was usually busy until 2 o'clock at noon, then cleaned up the stall and slept on the recliner for about an hour, and then went into business energetically in the afternoon.
This time, Chen Kai didn't have much time to rest, and he really had to work hard to make money.
There are indeed fewer people on the food street, Chen Kai squinted on the recliner for a while, and no one came in again, his vision was a little blurry, and he was about to fall asleep.
"Boss......" A nice young female voice came.
Chen Kai didn't react much, it sounded like his voice was very light and far away.
"Boss, do you have anything to eat?"
The voice of the young girl like a yellow bird came from near and far, Chen Kai squinted his eyes and suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly jumped up from the recliner and asked in a daze:
"There's still that, how many copies do I want. ”
"Poof, the boss is embarrassed to disturb your sleep. ”
Chen Kai shook his head, forcibly suppressed the drowsiness that had just sprung up, grabbed the wet towel next to him, wiped his face vigorously, and sobered up.
"Boss, can you bring me your loofah scrambled egg bowl?"
When Chen Kai heard it, his voice was a little familiar.
I took the towel off my face and looked at it, and it turned out to be a beautiful girl selling shaved ice next to her.
I saw that this girl had a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, panting slightly, her apricot eyes were smart, her eyelashes trembled slightly, her pretty little face was tanned, and her lips were slightly open to look extremely cute.
The girl moved her slanted ponytail behind her shoulders, raised her head and asked with a smile, "I'm sorry to disturb your sleep, have you sold out of the secret rice bowl you sold at noon?"
Chen Kai looked at the cute girl in front of him who seemed to be the little girl next door, he was in a trance, and he came back to his senses after a while.
"Ah...... Yes, it hasn't been sold out yet. ”
"Can you serve me one? I watched people eat rice bowls at your place for a whole noon, and I starved to death. ”
Chen Kai smiled: "Then why don't you take the time to buy some food?"
With excitement on her face, the little girl smiled and said:
"Because today's business is good, there are so many people queuing up here, I also came to rub a hot spot, and I have been selling shaved ice non-stop since noon, and my arms are sore. ”
The little girl looked tired and hot enough, Chen Kai walked out of the stove to clean up a table, and took out a plate of loofah scrambled egg rice from the pot.
The loofah scrambled eggs on the table are a little warm, but they are still fragrant.
Looking at the food in front of her, the little girl thanked her sweetly, took out a spoonful, covered her chest with one hand, and ate it with the other.
Chen Kai was interrupted by the little girl, and the little drowsiness disappeared completely, the little girl was red from the sun, and after eating two bites of loofah scrambled egg rice, she paused slightly.
"The owner...... Your rice bowl really doesn't taste the same. The little girl stopped, took a deep breath, and the blush on her face that had been scorched by the scorching sun slowly faded.
Chen Kai smiled: "After eating this plate of rice bowls, maybe you can feel a little cooler." ”
The little girl smiled and began to eat again, but it had changed from a small stutter to a large one, and her cheeks were bulging and looked very cute.
Chen Kai was afraid that she would choke, so he hurriedly poured a glass of warm water and put it on the table.
"Uh......h Thank you. The little girl did eat a little fast, her mouth was full of food, and she hurriedly drank a sip of water and sent it away.
Chen Kai found that this girl eats very openly, and there is a great contrast between her bold eating appearance and her pretty appearance, and there is a unique pleasure in watching her eat.
"Whew...... Eaten. The little girl let out a sigh of relief and found that Chen Kai was looking at her with a slight surprise.
"Boss, I'm sorry to make you laugh. ”
Chen Kai hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, you just have enough to eat." ”
The little girl stood up generously and said to Chen Kai with a smile: "Boss, get to know, my name is Zhou Yuting, I only came here a month ago, and I have been selling cold drinks on the other side of East Street." ”
"My name is Chen Kai, and I have just opened in the food court not long ago. ”
"I just heard the person next to me say that the last Dragon Boat Festival award was your family, but the last time I saw a girl in the audience receiving the award, it turns out that you are the real boss. ”
Chen Kai said with a smile: "The last time I received the award was a friend who came to help during the Dragon Boat Festival, and I am usually here alone." ”
Zhou Yuting's apricot eyes rolled, and asked Chen Kai in an inquiring tone: "That, can I discuss something with you?"
"What's the matter?"
"During this period of time, from West Street to East Street, after observation, your family's business is the hottest, can I sell cold drinks at your door for a long time?
