Chapter 18: Win-win

Xiao Ying originally didn't like to watch this kind of tear gas romance tragedy, and liked to read light-hearted martial arts novels, but after hearing Zhuo Ran say it so well, he was a little itchy and wanted to continue reading.

However, when the wine and food came up, he was afraid that the oil stains would fall on other people's books during the meal, which was not very good, so he would borrow it back to the dormitory and read it slowly. Anyway, this book is not thick, and I guess I will finish reading it in one night.

So, he put the book aside, took a handful of chili beef with chopsticks and put it in his mouth to chew, it tasted really good. It seems that the chef's skills are quite good, no wonder business is booming.

Zhuo Ran came in again, carrying a bottle of Erguotou and a small wine glass. Seeing that he had already started eating, he smiled and said, "Brother Glutton, the wine hasn't come yet, so I'll start eating and give you wine." ”

She put the wine glass in front of Xiao Ying, unscrewed the lid of the wine bottle, and poured him a glass. He put the bottle on the table and said, "The food and drinks you ordered are ready, but my grandmother said that she would personally fry a snail for you to express her gratitude." This is our specialty dish. I'll send it to you later. ”

"Thank you so much."

"You saved my dad, what is it. If we want to say thank you, we have to thank you! - By the way, why don't you read the book, isn't it good? ”

"No, I'm afraid I'll get dirty, I'll borrow it back to the dormitory and take a look at it later, is it okay?"

"Okay, no problem, I can borrow any book on my bookshelf if I like. ――Since you don't read, why don't I put on some music for you? ”

"Okay."

Zhuo Ran said: "Shall I play a song for you?" What songs do you like to listen to? Do you like Long Qingquan or not? ”

"There is an episode of Dream of Red Mansions, I see that there is a score of this song under the glass plate on your table."

"Yes!" Zhuo Ran took a cassette tape from the cassette shelf and put it into the small tape recorder, pressed the play button, and the music floated out of the episode of Dream of Red Mansions.

Xiao Ying said: "You like Dream of Red Mansions, right? ”

"Yes, I've watched TV series several times, and I've also read novels. I like Xue Baochai in it the most, I don't like Lin Daiyu, be careful, and get angry at every turn. But she's pathetic. ――I'm not going to talk to you, I'm busy down there. Listen slowly. ”

With that, Zhuo Ran turned around and went downstairs again.

After a while, Zhuo Ran's grandmother walked in with a plate of fragrant fried snails, and said to Xiao Ying with a smile: "Mr. Xiao, how is it?" The dish is still delicious, right? This is our store's signature dish stir-fried snails, can you try it too? ”

Xiao Ying quickly stood up, and after thanking him, he took the plate of snails and put it on the table and said, "There are too many dishes, I can't finish them." ”

"No more, no less, eat slowly, not in a hurry. It's going to be two hours busy outside before Zhuo Ran has time to come in and do your homework, so you eat slowly. ”

After Grandma Tian left, Xiao Ying drank wine leisurely, ate vegetables, listened to the beautiful singing voice floating out of the radio, and thought about the future fortune-telling and medical treatment in his head.

After listening to a cassette tape, Xiao Ying found another song by Taiwanese singer Qi Qin from the cassette shelf and put it into the tape recorder. Qi Qin's song swept the land of China in the 90s, and Xiao Ying liked it very much, especially the song "About Winter". After drinking a little wine, the interest was even higher, and he hummed again.

As soon as he sang a few words, Zhuo Ran's voice came from behind him: "Big brother's singing voice is good, king-level!" ”

Xiao Ying turned around and smiled, and said, "See the smile, see the smile." ”

Zhuo Ran brought a small pot of tomato egg soup and put it on the table, Xiao Ying was stunned for a moment and said, "I didn't order soup!" ”

"This is for you. ――All the dishes tonight are free, my mother said. Just now, my mother called, and when I heard my grandmother say that you are eating here, she told my grandmother that she couldn't collect money tonight, which was a little bit of repaid for your kindness. ”

"How can you do it without collecting money? If you open a store and do business, if you don't collect money, won't you lose money? No, no, I accept what you sent the snails, I have already expressed my kindness, and I still have to pay for the rest. You don't charge money for opening a store, you don't charge money for that, I'm sorry to be like this in the future. ”

Zhuo Ran smiled and said, "What do you want?" I'll give you free today, and tomorrow you'll have to eat, take it as you like, and you won't lose a penny. ”

Xiao Ying smiled: "It's pretty much the same. Still, every meal is like this, and I may not be able to afford it. We all use spoons to cook at school, and two spoons of vegetables and four taels of rice are served. ”

"That's no problem, we have fast food for delivery, and it's also like you said, two spoonfuls of food for one meal, just pack it in a fast food box. You can bring your lunch box and serve it to your taste, it's cheap. The meat and vegetables are absolutely hygienic, you can rest assured. ”

Xiao Ying looked at Zhuo Ran approvingly and said, "Very business-minded, not bad." Then it's decided, I'll pay you for food every month, how much? ”

"You can pay as much as you want a month at school, and you will be fed according to your school's standards."

"At school, I have 60 yuan a month for food, steamed buns, fritters and porridge in the morning, four taels of rice at noon and evening, a spoonful of meat dishes and a spoonful of vegetarian dishes."

"That's good, then it's converted to heaven according to this standard. Two dollars a day, four cents for breakfast, eight cents for lunch and dinner. I'll keep an account for you, and sometimes you may have to eat out and won't be able to take your money. How about eating at the end of the month? ”

Xiao Ying nodded again and said, "This method is very good, just do it, then I will trouble you." ”

"What's the trouble. To tell you the truth, we still have to earn by your standards. It's convenient for you, and we can also make money, which is called a win-win situation. ”

"The little girl is in a set."

"Don't call me little girl, I'm fifteen years old."

"Okay, Zhuoran, thank you for solving the food problem for me. - By the way, you just said that your mother called, do you have a phone at home? ”

"Yes, the payphone, right outside on the table under the pergola window."

Xiao Ying was very happy, and hurriedly said: "It's great to have a phone, my company is still worried about doing business without a phone, first use your phone as our company phone, of course, I have to pay for calling, I don't need money to answer the phone, right?" ”

"You don't need money, I'll call you if I have a phone to find you. I'm not here, grandma will call you. By the way, big brother, what's the name of your company? What for? ”

"Incurable disease consulting companies specialize in helping misdiagnosed patients like your dad to guide them to what the real cause is, and help them choose the right hospital and the right doctor. Then a certain consultation fee is charged. ”

Zhuo Ran's face was suddenly full of surprise, and said, "I heard my grandmother say that you calculated what illness he was based on my father's name, do you really know how to tell fortunes?" ”

"Well, this involves trade secrets, can't be said. However, I can tell you that I mainly use my medical knowledge and the information I have in hospitals all over the country to provide them with consulting help. ”

"Oh, it's good to be a fortune teller. -- The fortune tellers on the street are all liars, but I hate them. I often hear people come to quarrel with them, saying that they have cheated them out of money, and they can't calculate it accurately, and some of them have actually helped. ”

"Yes, fortune telling is a lie. - Go get busy, I'll eat a little longer. ”

"Okay, big brother, you eat slowly, don't be in a hurry."

Zhuo Ran saw that his wine glass was empty, poured him another glass, and then turned around and went downstairs.

Xiao Ying listened to the song and drank wine at the same time, and ate this dish very comfortably.

This meal, which lasted for more than an hour, was mainly because he had been thinking about what to do next, and at the same time, he searched for some keywords related to the city in the general database of hospital records in his mind, found out some cases, and saw if there was anyone he could help instruct.

After eating, he turned off the electric fan and tape recorder, slightly drunk, and went downstairs with his hands on the stairs.

The business below is still hot, after all, on a sultry summer night, many people are not used to going to bed early, going out for supper and drinking cold beer, especially the seats in the pergola outside, which are basically full.

Seeing Xiao Ying coming down, Zhuo Ran hurriedly greeted him and said, "Big brother, have you finished eating?" I'm sorry, there are too many people below and I haven't come up to greet you, how about it? The food is delicious! ”

"Very good, you're welcome, I'm ready to go back to school after I've had enough food and drink, I'll bring the bedding tomorrow morning, and I'll settle down in the company in the future."

"Okay, I'll clean up that shop for you early tomorrow morning. What do you see missing? I'll prepare it for you. ”

"Good. We'll see when the time comes. I'm gone - I really don't have to pay? ”

Zhuo Ran tilted his head and smiled and said, "I really don't need to." My mom said this meal was a reward for you. By the way, are you drunk? No problem on the road, right? ”

"This little wine can't get me drunk, don't worry." Xiao Ying waved his hand and walked out of the snack shop. For mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
