Chapter 144: Being Recognized
"Huh?"
Shen Qi was stunned, a little dazed, and couldn't think of why this boss reacted so much.
Didn't I just have a meal at your place, even if you remember me...... It doesn't mean that.
He gave him a puzzled look, and then he saw the boss pat his head and said, "Young man, you also came to eat with me two days ago, right?"
Shen Qi nodded.
"That's right." The boss was even happier and recounted: "The last time I saw you come to eat with us, I thought it was familiar, but I couldn't remember it at the time. ”
"After you left, I thought about it for a long time, and finally remembered where I saw you."
Hearing this, Shen Qi carefully looked at the boss twice, and made sure that he hadn't seen him in any other place except for the last time he came here to eat, so he asked, "Where is it?"
"In the newspapers!" The boss was quite excited. "Young man, are you the one who made the newspaper...... That, the one who wrote the book? No, no, it should be called a writer! He smiled innocently at Shen Qi: "Look at my stupid mouth, don't mind." ”
Not...... Recognizable?
Shen Qi really didn't have any preparations for this, after the publication of that issue of the newspaper, the changes brought about were not nothing, for example, his current head teacher Li Yiqin knew about his book, and there were also readers in the readership group who saw the newspaper, and even in his book review area, there were many reviews similar to reading the newspaper and coming to see the book.
But...... This is the first time that he has been recognized in reality. This feeling is very strange, some novelty, and some pride, he can be regarded as a little insignificant person.
Shen Qi looked at the boss and saw that he was looking at himself. With a smile on his face, he waited for himself to confirm.
At that moment, Shen Qi nodded: "That's right, that's me." ”
After Shen Qi's confirmation, the boss laughed: "Look, I'll just say yes." So read it. He turned around and shouted, "Daughter-in-law." ”
"Huh?" There was a sound of promise from the back kitchen, and then the curtain was lifted, and the proprietress walked out with an apron on her body, looked here, rubbed her hands and asked, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”
"Look, I told you last time you still didn't believe it, but now this young man is here, and he's the writer who went to the newspaper."
"You didn't lie to me? Really? The proprietress didn't believe it, and just took two steps forward. After another pause, he turned around and walked behind the counter, picked up a newspaper, glanced at the photo on it, and looked at Shen Qi again.
"Hey, it's exactly the same." The proprietress was surprised.
The diners who come to this small restaurant every day are all three religions and nine streams, workers. Office workers, student parties. It's not uncommon, but I really haven't seen anyone who has been in the newspaper or done an exclusive interview come to them for dinner and meet Shen Qi, which makes them both quite novel.
The proprietress came over, she wasn't very old. Probably in her early thirties, her gaze at Shen Qi was a little cramped, and after hesitating for a while, she asked, "Well, young man." What do you eat? ”
The boss on the side interjected with a smile: "He's all ordered." ”
"Then why don't you hurry up and do it? Keeping people waiting here? Facing her husband, she changed her appearance, and after finishing speaking, she turned her head to look at Shen Qi and smiled, and beckoned, "Sit, sit." Then she sat down as well.
The boss smiled helplessly, shrugged his shoulders at Shen Qi, and said, "Young man, you wait a while, I'll do it for you." ”
Shen Qi nodded.
The boss entered the back kitchen, and in the whole restaurant, there were still two or three tables with people, and after Shen Qi came in, he looked this way, but then he took it back and continued to eat and chat.
Shen Qi could see that the proprietress was a little restrained, and she didn't know what to say, he thought about it and said, "Auntie, you don't have to be nervous, I'm just an ordinary person, I'm just a freshman in high school this year." ”
He is only 16 years old this year, and his aunt is at ease.
The proprietress smiled at him, and said, "I'm a little nervous, it's the first time I've seen someone in the newspaper right in front of me when I've grown so big." ”
"Haha." Shen Qi smiled heartily: "I'm just a little lucky, it's just a newspaper, but it's not as powerful as I imagined." ”
A woman is always an animal who is good at chatting, let alone a woman in her thirties and forties, after opening the topic, the proprietress gradually let go of her restraints, calmly accepted Shen Qi's name to her, and chatted.
After her husband dug out the newspaper last time, she also looked at it carefully out of curiosity and knew Shen Qi's identity, so she was still full of curiosity about such a little "writer" who wrote books at the age of fifteen or sixteen to make money.
Just in time for the opportunity, she asked several questions in a row, and Shen Qi answered them one by one, and the two chatted happily.
Not long after, the sauerkraut fish ordered by Shen Qi was served on the table, and the proprietress no longer disturbed Shen Qi to eat, and watched TV after returning to the counter.
Shen Qi is naturally fond of sour and spicy food, and when he was in middle school, when he went to a ramen shop to eat ramen, he loved to add two things to ramen, chili oil and aged vinegar. Even when I first ate instant noodles, I usually ate sour and spicy ones, and I didn't have time to eat spicy ones.
As the old saying goes, sour and spicy girls, Shen Qi sometimes comes up with an idea, if he is a woman, wouldn't he have a dragon and phoenix fetus?
Sauerkraut fish belongs to Sichuan cuisine, and the taste is sour and spicy, which is very suitable for Shen Qi's taste.
After all, he was eating alone, and it would be too boring to eat dryly, so after eating, he didn't put down his mobile phone, but chatted with Du Bing.
mentioned to Du Bing that he came to dinner and was recognized, and boasted with joking interest: Look at how famous I am, I can be recognized by people after a meal, and so on, over there Du Bing will slander him and hit him, although it seems that the words are not harmonious, but the fun is only understood by the parties concerned.
Soon, Shen Qi finished eating.
After eating, Shen Qi got up and shouted to the proprietress who was watching TV intently at the counter: "Auntie, how much?" ”
"What kind of money do you want?" The proprietress got up: "You are a great writer who can come here to patronize, so I will invite you as an aunt." ”
"That's not going to work." Shen Qi replied, he didn't ask how much it was, but looked directly at the large menu hanging on the wall, where the price of each dish was clearly marked.
After calculating the price in his heart, Shen Qi took out the money from his pocket, took two steps forward and handed it to the proprietress: "You are also a small business here, and I am not short of money, so I can't help it." ”
"Oh, Auntie said you won't want you to take it back." The proprietress pushed back and refused.
"Don't, don't." Shen Qi sent it back again: "I won't tell you, I live around here, if you don't accept it, then I won't come to you to eat next time." ”
"Okay then." Hearing Shen Qi say this, the proprietress took the money and said, "Then you often come to eat." ”
"Of course, this dish tastes so good." Shen Qi laughed, and then pushed the door open: "Then I'll go." ”
"Walk slowly." The proprietress greeted behind her. (To be continued.) )
