Chapter 155: The Boss's Lady's Side Dishes
Huang Mao didn't actually talk nonsense. Originally, he was mixed around Shencheng No. 1 Middle School, and it was purely alone. Although it is relatively leisurely and there are no constraints, most of them are students, so they can only make a small fuss. How much money can a student have? too rich, they dare not provoke; The ones they can provoke are generally not very rich. Therefore, Huang Mao and the gangsters are actually not too happy. Although there are some small stalls and small shops near Shencheng No. 1 Middle School, those people can't earn a few dollars a day like students, so although Huang Mao is relaxed, he is not rich.
However, since they offended Ouyang Xue's sister, that is, Ai Tingting, there was no way to mix around Shencheng No. 1 Middle School. They had no choice but to find another place. By chance, they came to the neighborhood of the restaurant and met a gang leader. This little boss introduced Huang Mao and others to join the gang, and then asked them to collect protection money near this area. Moreover, they must be handed over to the gang on time and in accordance with the amount every month.
Every time they receive protection money, they hide in a relatively safe place, and when the time comes, someone will naturally come to them to collect it.
At the beginning, Huang Mao and others acted according to the rules, which was considered peaceful. But after a period of time, Huang Mao found out that the gang actually only needs to pay the protection fee on time every month according to the prescribed amount, and as for collecting more and collecting less, the above does not care at all. So he began to embolden himself, increasing his harvest from once a month, to twice a month, and then to three times a month.
The number of times protection money is collected, and some stores will of course resist. encountered fierce resistance, and Huang Mao and others were helpless. However, because there is only one proprietress in charge of this restaurant, and there is no one else, Huang Mao is sure that this restaurant is easy to bully, so he squeezes them again and again. And as it turns out, this restaurant is really easy to bully, and it can reap a lot of benefits every time.
But he never dreamed that the backer behind this restaurant, which looked like a soft persimmon, was actually Ouyang Xue. You must know that Ouyang Xue doesn't even dare to provoke the big brother of the gang! What's more, Huang Mao had just suffered a while ago at the hands of Ouyang Xue.
However, regarding Huang Mao's statement, Gong Xiping put on an attitude of disbelief. He squinted at the yellow hair that was already sweating profusely, and said in a cold voice: "In that case, then I'll call Sister Ouyang and let her deal with it." As he spoke, Gong Xiping put his hand in his pants pocket and made a gesture of pulling out the phone.
Seeing this, Huang Mao was shocked, and hurriedly grabbed Gong Xiping's hand that was stretched into his pocket, and begged for mercy: "Big brother, big brother, I'm real, I really didn't bring it out!" If you don't believe me, I'll ask my brother to go back and bring it out to you. Don't look for Officer Ouyang, don't! ”
Huang Mao's anxious tears were about to fall, and he grabbed Gong Xiping's arm, also because he was too anxious, completely out of subconscious. Gong Xiping was silent, and his eyes fell on Huang Mao's hands. Huang Mao saw Gong Xiping looking at his hands, and then realized that he was in a panic of outrageous behavior. He immediately withdrew his hands, and then looked at Gong Xiping pitifully.
At this time, the middle-aged woman who had been silently on the side suddenly said, "Since Brother Huangmao didn't bring it, then forget it." That money, just when we are filial to Brother Huang Mao, in the future, we will have Brother Huang Mao take care of it more. ”
Hearing what the proprietress said, Huang Mao immediately said to the proprietress gratefully: "Boss, you are really an adult, an adult!" ”
The middle-aged woman showed a smile on her face and said, "In the future, please take care of Brother Huangmao." ”
Huang Mao replied in a loud voice: "Certainly, that is certain!" ”
The middle-aged woman nodded and said, "Brother Huangmao and a few brothers have also worked hard, so why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea." ”
Huang Mao hurriedly said: "No, no, no, no need, we still have something to do, let's go first, and it won't hinder you from doing business." As he spoke, he secretly looked at Gong Xiping, and said cautiously, "This big brother, can we go?" ”
Gongxi said flatly: "Ask me what to do, ask the proprietress about it." ”
Huang Mao hurriedly set his eyes on the middle-aged woman. The middle-aged woman said with a smile: "Since Brother Huangmao has something, then I won't keep it." If you're okay in the future, come and sit with me. ”
"Definitely, definitely!" Huang Mao said, and then took a few of his gangsters, with their tails between them, and got out of the way.
After Huang Mao and a few thugs walked out of the restaurant, the middle-aged woman immediately bowed deeply to Gong Xiping. Gong Xiping hurriedly supported her, but the middle-aged woman still stubbornly lowered her body and was reluctant to get up for a long time. Gong Xiping sighed, and then stopped helping her, and really bowed to her.
After a long time, the middle-aged woman straightened up. When she straightened up, her face was covered with tears. Seeing this, several waiters behind her immediately called: "Boss lady......"
The middle-aged woman raised her hand to stop them from continuing, and then said to Gong Xiping gratefully: "Young man, thank you for helping us just now." ”
Gongxi said indifferently: "I just want to teach this yellow hair a lesson, it's just a coincidence to help you, so you don't need to thank me." ”
The middle-aged woman was stunned when she heard this, she looked at Gong Xiping's ordinary and somewhat rustic appearance, and she didn't think that this teenager was just an ordinary high school student anyway. She should have read countless people, although this teenager is very ordinary no matter how she looks at it, but her intuition and what she has just seen and heard tell her that this teenager is not ordinary.
So, the middle-aged woman said, "Whether you happen to it or not, you helped me, it's a fact." My buddies and I both appreciate your help. Because of your help, we will save a lot of trouble in the future. So, I want to thank you and thank you for your help. ”
Gongxi shook his head indifferently, and then said, "Okay, I believe they won't come in the future." I have an exam in the afternoon, and I'm going to leave after eating. I was a little delayed just now, so I have to hurry up. Boss, you're busy with your going, too. ”
After Gong Xiping finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the place where he was sitting just now and sat down. Only then did the middle-aged woman discover that Gong Xiping did not come alone, but with a big beauty with a super good figure. This made the middle-aged woman a little more curious about Gong Xiping.
The middle-aged woman saw that Gong Xiping had already sat back in her seat, so she didn't say anything, and took a few of her waiters to the back.
As soon as Gong Xiping sat down, Duanmu Jiao couldn't help but stretch out his thumb and said: "You are really amazing, a few words actually scared a few hooligans into shame, and not only did they not come here to make trouble in the future, but also promised to take care of here." You're really capable. ”
Gongxi said indifferently: "I am a fox and a fake tiger, and the one who is really capable is Officer Ouyang." ”
Duanmu Jiao said with a smile: "You are not a fox and a fake tiger, you are borrowing strength to fight with strength, four or two thousand catties!" ”
Gong Xiping glanced at Duanmu Jiao and said, "Okay, let's eat quickly." I have an exam in the afternoon. It's still a long way to walk back here, so hurry up and finish eating and leave, don't be late for a while. ”
Duanmu Jiao raised her wrist and looked at her watch, and then said, "Don't worry, there is still time, you eat slowly." Eating too fast can be bad for your health. ”
The two were talking, and suddenly saw a plate of side dishes in front of them, which was bacon rolled cherry tomato skewers, that is, the cherry tomatoes were wrapped with bacon, and then threaded with bamboo skewers. This side dish belongs to the snack type, which has the meaty aroma of bacon, and the sweet and sour taste of cherry tomatoes neutralizes the greasy taste.
Gong Xiping looked at the side dish, and then at the middle-aged woman who served the dish herself, and said suspiciously: "We haven't ordered this." ”
The middle-aged woman smiled slightly, revealing a good-looking smile. Although the years have left some marks on her face, she still maintains a beautiful smile when she smiles. It's just that Duanmu Jiao suddenly found that when the proprietress smiled at Gong Xiping, it was a little unpleasant.
"This is for you. Young man, you have helped me just now, and I should have said something about it. It's just a side dish, but it's also an expression of my heart. ”
When Gong Xiping heard this, he nodded, but he didn't push back, but said, "Then thank you, boss." ”
Seeing that Gong Xiping did not refuse, the middle-aged woman couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Well, then you can taste it slowly." This is one of my specialties and should taste good. ”
Gong Xiping picked up a bunch, ate one, tasted it carefully, and couldn't help but praise: "It's really good." The marinated bacon is also delicious, and the baking heat is also very good. The cherry tomatoes are also very particular about the selection of ingredients, which are fresh cherry tomatoes, not ordinary small tomatoes. ”
When the middle-aged woman heard this, she couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect you to be a gourmet." ”
Gong Xiping shook his head and said, "Gourmets can't talk about it, I just usually make something to eat by myself, and I happen to know a thing or two about what you do, that's all." ”
The middle-aged woman let out a light "oh" and said, "Look at the school uniform you are wearing, it should be Shencheng No. 1 Middle School, right?" ”
Gong Xiping nodded.
"I have a daughter who also studies at Shencheng No. 1 Middle School. I just got to the first year of high school this year. ”
Duanmu Jiao couldn't help but interject: "You also have a daughter who is in high school? Lady, how old are you? ”
The middle-aged woman said with a smile: "After New Year's Day next year, I will be 50 years old." ”
Duanmu Jiao couldn't help but be taken aback and said, "Are you 50 years old?" ”
The middle-aged woman couldn't help but touch her face and asked, "What, it's not like 50 years old?" Do you look much older than your actual age? ”
When Gong Xiping heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head secretly in his heart. To say that many women in the world are duplicitous, especially in terms of feelings and their own appearance. This is true regardless of the age group. The proprietress obviously wanted to hear others say that she was young, and she herself obviously knew that she looked much younger than her actual age, but she deliberately said so, which shows that women like duplicity.
Duanmu Jiao shook his head and said, "No, no, no, it's the opposite, I thought you were only less than 40 years old just now!" ”
Although Duanmu Jiao's answer was expected by the middle-aged woman, she was still very happy to hear such a compliment. She smiled from her eyes, but she said, "Hehe, this young lady, you are really good at talking." ”
Gong Xiping didn't like this kind of topic between women, so he said: "Boss, thank you for the side dishes, it tastes really good." ”
The middle-aged woman smiled and said, "If you really think it's good, then I can teach you how to do it." ”
Gong Xiping was stunned for a moment and said, "Isn't this your specialty, teach me how to do it, is this appropriate?" ”
"There's nothing wrong with that. In fact, this is not an innovative dish, and you can make it yourself. I'm just a little bit different from other places where I marinate and how I bake. Moreover, it is no secret that this small difference can be figured out by eating it a few more times. ”
When Gong Xiping heard this, he nodded and said, "I see." Okay, in exchange, I'll teach you how to make a more unique sandwich. ”
The middle-aged woman readily agreed.
Gong Xiping raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and said, "I'm afraid it's too late today." I'm going to take exams this week, I'm going to Spain for the winter break, so let's wait for next week, I'll finish my exams, and I'll find a time for me to come and talk to each other. ”
The middle-aged woman thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then it's decided." ”
Gong Xiping thought for a while and said, "By the way, my name is Gong Xiping, I'll leave you a call." If you need any help, you can contact me. If the yellow-haired gang comes to bully you again, you can also find me. ”
The middle-aged woman said gratefully, "Thank you, Gong Xiping." My name is Lu Wanying, and everyone here calls me Sister Wan, you ...... You call me Aunt Wan. Then, I'll leave you a phone number for easy contact. ”
