Chapter 40: The Hardest Thing to Say
Chen Kai looked around his stall and said to Zhou Yuting:
"Lao Ding and I went to the Four Seasons Community in the morning to clean up the storefront, if nothing else, today is the last day for the two of us to open in the food court. ”
Zhou Yuting was stunned for a moment, the curiosity on her face gradually faded, and she became a little regretful: "Although you said that you were going out to open a store, you didn't expect to be so vigorous." ”
Chen Kai also said with some emotion: "We have also made a lot of preparations, and now we are really ready to leave here, and we are a little reluctant." ”
Zhou Yuting nodded, and a smile immediately bloomed on her young face: "I believe that with your ability, you will definitely do well wherever you go." ”
"Thank you. ”
Chen Kai and Zhou Yuting chatted for a while, and someone who bought cold drinks shouted next to the shaved ice truck.
Zhou Yuting said hello and went to work on her own business, Chen Kai stood in his stall, thought about it, turned around and took out a white clean cardboard from the utility kiosk.
After rummaging through the pen, I found that there was no pen, so I went to a few stalls next to it and asked, and finally borrowed a black signature pen.
Sitting at a table in the dining area, Chen Kai wrote a notice of relocation, indicating the address of the new store in the Four Seasons Community, and then hung cardboard pins on the curtain of the stall's awning.
After hanging up the notice and setting up the tables and chairs, Chen Kai calmed down, took out a small pile of loofahs from the pavilion, and started today's business.
I don't know why, but I feel like I'm cooking extra smoothly today.
Before Chen Kai did it, he still had a lot of thoughts in his heart, but as soon as he picked up the kitchen knife, his heart became extremely calm.
In one go, the kitchen knife in his hand was replaced with a scraper, and the scraper was replaced with a large spoon, and after a while, a pot of steaming loofah scrambled eggs was out of the pot.
"Boss, what's the situation with your notice?" As soon as Chen Kai turned off the fire, he heard someone outside the stall asking.
When he looked up, it was a young man with a backpack, Chen Kai recognized that this was also a regular customer of his stall, and he should be working nearby.
"Today should be the last day for Chen Ji to open on the food street, and I will open a new fast food restaurant at the gate of the Four Seasons Community in the future, so I will post a notice. ”
The young man walked from outside the stall to the stove, and said with some regret: "The Four Seasons Community is still a little far from where I work, since this is the case, then I have to eat more today." ”
Chen Kai smiled and nodded, the young man paid for two meals, asked for one for himself, and one for takeaway.
Not long after, the food street began to be crowded, and a lot of diners lined up in front of Chen Kee's stall, and many regular customers saw Chen Kai's relocation notice and expressed their reluctance.
Chen Kai smiled and explained to the old customers who asked one by one that many old customers also took pictures of the new address on the notice with their mobile phones.
At noon, in Chen Kee's booth, although the people were noisy, they were orderly, and Chen Kai was busy doing what he had to do.
was busy until more than two o'clock, and when there was no one queuing up for the meal, Ding Yuan came to find Chen Kai and went to the property to complete the lease return procedures.
The food street is still a relatively well-known affordable catering area in Ninggang County, and the stalls are only worried about not being rented, and once someone quits the rent, someone can basically make up for it in two or three days.
The rules on the property side for changing stalls are also relatively simple, as long as the water and electricity bills are settled, and then 10% of the monthly rent will be deducted as a handling fee.
Chen Kai and Ding Yuan's hearts were full of enthusiasm for opening a store, and the procedures were completed quickly.
In the afternoon, I took the time to use the electric three-wheeler to move the sundries that I didn't need today to the storefront of the Four Seasons Community, and then cleaned it up, and when I returned to the food street, it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon.
Chen Kai rested for a while, preparing to stand on the last shift of the food street, and when he was cooking a pot of dishes, he happened to see Yuan Yuan, a student from Ninggang Middle School, coming from the West Street entrance.
Yuan Yuan walked over to Chen Ji as usual, and when he walked outside the stall, he saw the notice of relocation, and his originally relaxed expression suddenly froze.
With a look of surprise, Yuan Yuan walked to the edge of the stove, looked up and asked Chen Kai, "Boss, are you leaving?"
When Chen Kai saw Yuan Yuan, he also sighed in his heart, his first customer on the food street was this cute little girl.
"Yes, today is the last day of the food court, and my store will be opened in the Four Seasons community in the future. ”
Yuan Yuan's expression looked shocked: "That...... What should I do if I want to eat rice bowls in the future? ”
"My new restaurant is not far from here, so you can eat it if you have the chance. ”
"That'...... Boss: What's the name of your new shop?"
Yuan Yuan's question stopped Chen Kai.
"Name?...... I haven't gotten up for the time being, but I just walked a little west at the gate of the Four Seasons Community, and you can see it after five or six storefronts. ”
Yuan Yuan pursed his mouth, thought about it, and said with regret: "Okay, then I must eat again if I have a chance!"
Chen Kai smiled and nodded.
The food street at night, everything is as usual, and there is no change in sight, it is a special day for Chen Kai and Ding Yuan, but it is just an ordinary day for most people.
Today's flow of people seems to be more than usual, and Chen Kai is also busy enough in the evening, during which Ding Yuan came to Chen Ji to chat with Chen Kai.
As a result, when he saw the flow of people in line, he was so frightened that he hurriedly ran away, for fear that he would be caught by Chen Kai again.
"Whew......" Chen Kai finally stopped to catch his breath, looked at the people eating in the dining area, and looked up at the sky again.
It's time to pack up and go.
"Chen Kai, we are coming!" a soft and gentle voice came from Chen Ji's door.
Mi Yanran smiled, lifted the curtain with her hand, and walked over from outside with Li Feifei.
Today's dress is different from the past, usually on weekdays, Mi Yanran is usually dressed in a relatively plain simple dress, which looks quite formal.
But today Mi Yanran changed into a casual light V-neck pink pattern cotton T-shirt and wore a pair of short sports shorts, Chen Kai found for the first time that Mi Yanran's legs were really white and long.
Mi Yanran had her hair behind her ears on one side, her hair hung down on her chest, her eyes as calm as a lake had a little cleverness, and her white and red skin looked much better than before.
I have a little lip balm on my lips, and I feel like I can bite out water when I smile.
Chen Kai glanced at the time on his mobile phone, and said to Mi Yanran with a smile: "Teacher Mi, you are working overtime again today." ”
Li Feifei wore a ponytail, flashed out from behind Mi Yanran, and said depressedly: "One day she doesn't work overtime, it's so hard to be a teacher, it's better to be a nun." ”
Mi Yanran slapped Li Feifei with a smile: "Don't think that if I can't hear it, you can't get married." ”
Chen Kai said to Mi Yanran: "You two sit down first, and I'll bring you some dinner first." ”
Before the words fell, Ding Yuan strode in from outside, and said with a smile: "I estimate that the two beauties should also come over, and I specially left you the last skewer, try it." ”
Ding Yuan brought in a large iron plate, put more than 20 skewers of various colors on it, and Chen Kai took out two loofah scrambled egg rice bowls and served them on the table.
Looking at the table of delicacies, Li Feifei was very happy: "I can't be hungry in the Xiaomi office, and sure enough, waiting is rewarding." ”
The guests were almost gone, and Chen Kai was not in a hurry to clean up, so he also served two rice bowls for himself and Ding Yuan, and the four of them sat around the table individually, chatting while eating.
Li Feifei and Mi Yanran just tasted a bite of Chen Ji loofah scrambled egg rice bowl, and their faces showed a delicious expression.
Ding Yuan tried his best to promote his skewers next to him, but to no avail, and in his depression, he began to pick up the rice bowl and eat it.
Chen Kai watched the three of them feasting there with a smile on his face, and suddenly remembered an important matter.
"Lao Ding, what do you say is the name of our shop?"
Ding Yuan had a mouthful of rice in his mouth, and was suddenly stopped by Chen Kai, and quickly swallowed the rice: "You're right, the name, there is no domineering name yet." ”
Li Feifei interjected next to her: "Isn't it very domineering to call the princess fast food." ”
Ding Yuan almost sprayed rice: "Why don't you say that it's called the Universe Emperor Fast Food." ”
Chen Kai was also speechless: "You two are both serious, now you want to get down to business." ”
Ding Yuan didn't seem to have seriously thought about this problem, and he was a little puzzled for a while: "Why don't you call it delicious and come to the fast food restaurant again." ”
Chen Kai thought for a while and shook his head: "The four words are too complicated, I think it's better to call it Qixin Fast Food, after all, it's the two of us." ”
Mi Yanran bit her small lip next to her and thought for a while, her white fingers constantly tapping her cheek.
"Well, Qixin doesn't sound very good, it's good to call Heli fast food. ”
