Chen Kai looked at the time on his phone, it was already 5:35.

"Old man, you wait for me, it's just time to eat, the stalls on the street have just opened, even if everyone cooks, they will focus on business first, and the security guards will come over later.

Look at this, it's almost half past seven o'clock, you and Xiaomin will come again, I'll leave you a little food here, it's hard to say in the future, at least let you eat today. ”

Grandpa Xiaomin was a little excited when he saw that dinner had landed, and stepped forward with a wooden cane.

"Boss, really...... Thank you so much!"

Xiao Min's thin face also blossomed.

Chen Kai nodded, said goodbye to his grandfather and grandson, and Xiaomin's grandfather staggered and dragged Xiaomin out of the food street.

When he turned around, Chen Kai inadvertently found that the stall owners and bosses around him had some emotion and unbearability on their faces.

Chen Kai sighed slightly, patted his face with both hands, cheered up and began to work on the night's affairs.

Washed, washed, cut and cut, shredded green peppers, shredded meat and accessories were prepared, Chen Kai lit the liquefied gas, poured oil into the pot, and the aroma floated up.

Chen Kai's stall has become a big hit in the food street.

Before the first pot was out, students in school uniforms, teachers carrying briefcases, nearby aunts and uncles, young men and women had already begun to line up in front of the stalls.

Chen Kai greeted the familiar diners while shaking the spoon, because of the same food taste, the atmosphere of the diners in the queue was also very harmonious, chatting with each other from time to time.

"The first pot is out!" said the students at the front of the line, happily.

Chen Kai beckoned them to sit down, put out the green and fragrant green pepper shredded pork rice bowl and served it, brushed the wok with water, and started to prepare for the next pot non-stop.

A few months ago, Chen Kai was still an ignorant graduate with no money to make, and now he has adapted to the feeling of self-reliance.

Chen Kai fried pot by pot quickly, and the diners in front of him were also eating hotly.

In the evening, the weather gradually cools, and the lighting of the food street and the night lights of each stall are turned on one after another, with yellow, white and blue colors, bright and beautiful.

After making the fifteenth pot, Chen Kai picked up the plastic kettle and poured a few sips of cool white water, feeling that his throat was moisturized and very comfortable.

Looking to the side, Chen Kai found that Huang Ping was cooking fried rice again, and Hu Yuqin no longer shouted at the top of his voice, but greeted the guests step by step, and there were many people sitting in front of the stall.

The best life may be the way it is.

Chen Kai straightened up and stretched his waist, took out a wet towel and wiped it on his face, moved his shoulders by the way, and looked at the team in front of him, and felt a little proud in his heart.

After these days of intense exercise, the efficiency of cooking by myself has been greatly improved.

The first day was a little hectic, and it took ten minutes to complete a round, but now it can be done in seven or eight minutes.

In Chen Kai's team, there are gradually beginning to appear many young office workers who pay attention to packing efficiency or eating quickly.

Looking up, the evening rush hour of the entire food street is almost coming to an end, and the most important students either go to evening self-study, and those who do not have evening classes have already gone home.

The guests in the dining area were full, and there were still some guests in line, Chen Kai had to take a look at the number of people in line, and opened his pocket to see the green peppers.

"Well, it's almost enough. ”

Today I am finally well prepared, so I won't close the stall in advance.

Chen Kai glanced at his phone, it was already 7:18.

Worried that the materials were not enough, he took out three people's green peppers from the bag and put them aside for standby, Chen Kai looked around to see if there was a figure of Xiaomin's grandfather and grandson.

There weren't two people in the team.

Chen Kai put aside the materials of Xiao Min and the others first, turned his head and continued to work on business.

At this time, two office workers wearing white shirts and suit pants hurriedly lined up at the end of Chen Kai's booth.

The two men appear to be from a unit, one carrying a briefcase and the other with black-rimmed glasses.

It seemed that they had just gotten off work, and the two of them seemed to be in a good mood, pointing to Chen Kai's cauldron while smiling and saying something.

Chen Kai looked at these two people and sighed that it is not easy to go to work now, and it is common to work overtime for an hour or two in a small county.

"Take it and be careful with the soup. "Most of the diners who come late are packed, and Chen Kai skillfully packs the meal and delivers it to the guests quickly.

The line gradually moved forward, and after a while, the sound of diners chatting at the back of the line could be heard.

"Wang Dong, have you finished your visit the day before yesterday?"

Hearing the voice, Chen Kai looked up and saw that the person who asked the question was the office worker who was carrying a bag and wearing a white shirt just now.

"No, during the recent shantytown renovation period, many lonely elderly people have changed their registered addresses, and if the community has not changed their information, they can only check through their neighbors or the housing management department. ”

Wang Dong, who was wearing black-rimmed glasses, replied while wiping his sweat.

"Also, take your time, it's just that the weather is too hot, and it's a bit hard to run in the field. The man carrying the bag took out a wet towel from the bag and handed it to Wang Dong.

"It's already good, you see Sister Liu and they are sitting at the divorce registration window, facing those who have broken down their relationship every day, and the pressure is even greater.

I have to find a way to see if I can persuade peace, and people who are impatient in this matter can't do it. Wang Dong sighed with emotion.

Chen Kai sent off a young diner in front of him, and Wang Dong and the others took a step forward to the stall.

"Boss, please bring us two green pepper shredded pork rice bowls to pack. Wang Dong was very polite, and scanned the code on his mobile phone to settle the bill.

"Okay, it's going to be served right away, is it the first time you're here?" asked Chen Kai as he served the food.

Wang Dong said with a smile: "We wanted to eat yesterday, but unfortunately there were a lot of people in line and gave up. ”

Chen Kai smiled and nodded: "Next time I come often, I won't close the stall so early." ”

Wrapping the two rice bowls, handing them to the two, the two said hello and left contentedly.

Looking up, Chen Kai found that Xiao Min's grandfather and grandson walked in from the street, so he waved his hand to say hello to them.

The old man dragged Xiao Min and staggered to the stall, wanting to enter but not daring to enter, his face looked very embarrassed.

There were no diners in line, Chen Kai saw the old man standing outside, hurriedly stepped forward to beckon the two of them to come in and sit at the table, returned to the stove, and filled a large plate of rice for each of them.

On the dining table, Xiao Min was no longer as restrained as last time, and thanked Chen Kai crisply, picked up the chopsticks and devoured them.

"Thank you so much, boss. The old man also let go a little bit and ate slowly.

The other diners left one after another, and the other stall owners in the food court also began to clean up one after another.

In the middle, Chen Kai added some food to Xiaomin's grandfather and grandson, and then sat next to the two of them.

The old man finished eating Xiao Min and it was not over, Chen Kai and the old man chatted.

"What do you call you, old man?"

"My name is Xu Dafu, and this baby is my granddaughter, called Xu Xiaomin. ”

"Do you live around here?"

Uncle Xu shook his head: "The place where I live is not close, in Fengxili Street on the outskirts of the county." ”

"I don't think Xiaomin is very old, did his parents go out to work?"

Xiao Min didn't hear the conversation between the two, and ate his own food intently, Uncle Xu paused, pointed at Xiao Min, and then pointed to the sky, and shook his head.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked. Chen Kai was getting up, feeling very embarrassed.

Uncle Xu waved his hand, just in time, Xiao Min also finished eating, let out a sigh of satisfaction, took out a tissue and wiped his mouth.

Uncle Xu and Xiao Min got up to say goodbye to Chen Kai, expressed their gratitude again, and looked at the backs of the two of them gradually leaving, Chen Kai felt very complicated, feeling that he seemed to be able to do something and seemed to be unable to do anything.

"By the way, I'm also considered a good deed, why don't I have a good karma point?"

Chen Kai was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to hear the sound of the text message.

Forget it, it's normal that God can't figure it out, Chen Kai didn't think about it anymore and began to close the stall.

After cleaning up the stall, Chen Kai went to the hospital to visit Chen Hai, and at ten o'clock in the middle of the night, he returned to the rental house after a day of exhaustion.

While he still had some strength, Chen Kai finished washing and lay on the bed, blowing the fan while pulling his mobile phone.

Casually browsing the web, but my mind is full of day's things.

Thinking of Uncle Xu and Xiao Min, suddenly, Chen Kai recalled some details, the one named Wang Dong seemed to be working in the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Chen Kai put down his phone and lay flat trying to remember what he heard and saw during the day.

My mind seemed to be full of images, and it seemed that there was something else, and the sound of the fan seemed to be getting quieter and quieter, and the ceiling was gradually blurring.
