Chapter 81: Jumping off the building
Liu Yuan was pitiful.
The bleak night, the hazy light, the occasional gliding headlights, Liu Yuan's figure elongated, deformed, and disappeared, and I really wanted to say a few words to the past and comfort me.
But I know that what Liu Yuan needs is not comfort, but thinking quietly alone.
I hope that this cold night can dispel the grief in her heart and make her no longer so lonely.
Tang Wan came to my store alone: "It's good, it costs a lot of money, right?"
"Not much. "I didn't go into details.
"Who did you borrow it?" Tang Wan didn't believe it at all.
"A friend. "I was helpless, and said simply.
"I know?" Tang Wan sat on a stool, "There are a lot of seats for two people in the store." ”
"Well, on purpose. Tang Wan changed the topic by herself, and I was much more relaxed, "I remember in high school, we ate steamed vegetables together, and we were always at the same table with others, and we were uncomfortable eating." ”
Tang Wan retracted her gaze and looked at me: "I remember you told me this. ”
I nodded, the seating arrangement of the steamed restaurant was decorated according to my feelings at that time, and I just wanted to eat quietly with Tang Wan without being disturbed by others.
Pour her water and pick up vegetables for her.
"You also mentioned these hollowed-out partitions. Tang Wan turned around and touched the wooden hollow partition on her side, "When you first went to the steamed restaurant, you asked the boss if there was a private room." ”
I sat opposite Tang Wan and said with a smile: "I was a little stupid at that time, when I saw the shop at the head, I actually asked if there was a private room." ”
The two get along alone, they don't want to be disturbed by outsiders, there are many high school courses, and the time they can spend together is to eat, go back to the dormitory, and then have free time after self-study in the evening.
I always want to occupy Tang Wan, Wu Dong often coaxed the people in the dormitory, saying that I was forgetful and secretly went out on a date with Tang Wan, and I didn't deny it without him.
"Now that couples eat together, they can talk quietly. Tang Wan said, and praised again, but her eyes were a little gloomy, with a little loss, "Very good." ”
I don't know if Tang Wan's good refers to the fact that the steaming restaurant is very well decorated, or whether it is good for couples to have a quiet place to eat.
"By the way, has the name of the steamed restaurant been decided?" Tang Wan thought of the name of the steamed restaurant, "When I came in, I saw that there was no sign yet." ”
"How about the Sanchen Steamed Restaurant?" I thought of Chen Chen and Chen Wenjing, and asked with a smile.
Tang Wan looked at me suspiciously.
"I hired two part-time students, both surnamed Chen, plus I happen to be Sanchen. "I explained.
"It sounds very smooth, but the two of them can't keep doing it, right?" Tang Wan's words were exactly what I was thinking in my heart, but after a while, Tang Wan seemed to think of something, "It's not right, you also have two daughters, who are also Sanchen, very appropriate names." ”
I was stunned, what Tang Wan said, I never thought about it.
Even if Chen Chen and Chen Wenjing don't work in my store, it doesn't matter if they call Sanchen Steamed Restaurant, I have two daughters, also surnamed Chen, but I never thought of it before.
It's because Chen Ke and Chen Le have been away from me for a long time because Chen Ke and Chen Le have been away from me for a long time, haven't I remembered them?
But Tang Wan remembered.
"Forget it. I shook my head, still refusing the name.
"What?" Tang Wan asked me, "Do you have a better name?"
"How about a steamed restaurant?" I did have a name in mind.
A name that feels very small and fresh, in line with the decoration style of the steamed restaurant.
"Is there a steamed restaurant?" Tang Wan thought for a while, pondered for a while, and nodded, "A nice name, which is very in line with the decoration style of the steamed restaurant." ”
"Okay, that's it, that's the name. "After getting the approval, I have the confidence," I will find someone to make a name tomorrow and hang it on it. ”
Tang Wan praised it once and left.
Chen Chen didn't come today, Chen Wenjing came alone: "Chen Chen has a class today, an elective course that he took with Xiao Lun." ”
I understand that the two of them must go together, and Chen Chen can't come.
"It's okay, let's just do it. I had expected this situation as early as when I decided to have students, and I was not surprised, "You helped me wash the dishes, yesterday I had Li Mingzhou to help, today we will steam some dishes by ourselves and try it." ”
Some things are easy to see others do, but they may be full of mistakes when they do it themselves, I am going to do business, not a trick, I must learn the craft well, and make delicious steamed dishes.
After trying it with Chen Wenjing four times in a row, Chen Wenjing tasted the eggplant beans that came out after a bite: "Okay, this time it's good, it's not salty or light, it's just right soft and hard, and it's successful." ”
"That's good. I put down the chopsticks I raised, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why don't you try it?" Chen Wenjing looked at me.
"You just have to eat. I shook my head, looked at the nearly 100 steamed vegetable bowls next to me, and felt that I might never eat steamed vegetables again in my life.
Tasting is a chore, but fortunately there is Chen Wenjing.
"Let's take a break, we'll do it later. Chen Wenjing stood up to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and I asked her to stop.
"It's okay, just move and digest. Chen Wenjing put on a smock and rubber gloves, "Don't you want these things?"
"Leave the last one behind, and throw away the previous ones. "The first few times it was either light or salty, or it was too steamed, or it wasn't steamed, and it was useless to keep it.
As for the back, I sighed, got up and walked around, picked up chopsticks and tasted them little by little.
It's very good, and after one more day to continue to stabilize and become more proficient, it can be opened: "Let Chen Chen come over tomorrow, and it can be officially opened later." ”
"Good. When Chen Wenjing said this, she was also relieved.
The business license, health permit and other evidence were done, hung on the wall, the plaque in the store was ready, and it was also hung up, and some drinks and beers were entered, and vegetables were bought, and the business was ready to open.
In the morning, I went to the store with Chen Chen, and Ge Xiaolun also came out.
"Chen Chen, you can send these coupons at the school gate. "I handed over a stack of coupons to Chen Chen.
The opening of the new store, the preferential activities must be done, these are all I got yesterday, discount coupons.
"Couples enter the store with a 50% discount, and there is a chance to eat for free?" Ge Xiaolun took a coupon and looked at it, "How can you tell if they are a couple, what if someone partners up to pretend to be a couple to deceive people?"
"Why, it's all some students, how can anyone do such a thing. Chen Chen shook his head and chuckled.
"How is it impossible? A man and a woman, as long as they come in and eat together, saying that they are a couple, they can be half the cheaper, and someone will definitely cheat money. Ge Xiaolun said firmly.
"It's okay, just cheat, maybe you can get a couple. "I don't mind in the slightest.
Chen Chen and Ge Xiaolun went to the school gate to hand out coupons, while Chen Wenjing and I prepared steamed vegetables in the store.
Occasionally, one or two people would come in, but the table was not full.
I'm a little apprehensive.
"Boss, is this coupon from your store?" two people entered the store with coupons in their hands and asked me.
"It's from my store, you're coming over for dinner?" I glanced at the two of them, who were in their thirties.
"We're married, and it says that couples can enjoy a 50% discount and have the opportunity to get free of charge, can we too?" the man asked me.
"Yes, no problem, aren't husbands and wives lovers?" I replied thoroughly.
The two were stunned for a moment, then smiled, and found a place to sit down satisfied: "Boss, your store is really new." ”
"It's just been renovated, and it will take a few minutes for the dishes to come out, so you can sit down first. I said, "There's tea on the table, pour it yourself." ”
"Boss, are you really particular, is this bottle still insulated?" There are disposable cups on the dining table, as well as medium-sized thermos flasks, more than a hundred, in which there is boiling water that has been prepared long ago, tea leaves on one side of the thermos flask, and paper towels on the other side.
There are trash cans under each table.
"On such a cold day, the hot water is comfortable to drink, and the tea leaves are on the table, pour them yourself. I said, I didn't go over and pour water for people personally.
The service is too attentive, disturbing the quiet, but it is not good.
After waiting for a few minutes, Chen Wenjing and I brought out all the steamed vegetables and put them on the insulated table for people to choose.
At this time, someone came to the store with a coupon.
Chen Chen and Ge Xiaolun went back to the store, and the seats in the store were also full, most of them were students, and a small half were people from outside.
"Someone jumped off the building at school. Chen Chen walked up to me and whispered.
