Chapter 1496 We can be poor, but we can't be without principles and bottom lines

"It's time to eat." McGonagall took the last course, Spicy Grilled Fish, out of the oven and smiled as she spoke to the busy crowd in the kitchen.

"It's still going to be very busy tonight, so let's eat more." McGonagall smiled and said to the group, sandwiching a piece of fish for Amy.

"Thank you, Father." Amy said happily, poked the fish with chopsticks, put her mouth to the edge of the bowl and blew carefully, and then pulled it directly into her mouth.

"Ahh Amy said happily, her little face full of happy smiles on her little face.

Everyone also picked up chopsticks, a large table of delicious food, in addition to filling the stomach, but also brought an unparalleled delicious experience, and provided enough energy for the next work, this is probably the happiest time of the day.

Rena took a small bite of food, watched everyone enjoy the food, and occasionally laughed a few words, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but smile at the corner of her mouth.

Although the intensity of work is not low, the happiness and satisfaction of working at Maimi's restaurant is completely unmatched by previous jobs, and it is respected enough.

After dinner, the busy and long evening hours began.

The hot pot area of Maimi Restaurant has become an existence that can be equal to the heat of the restaurant area, and on a cold winter day, there is probably nothing happier than calling three or two friends to sit around the warm hot pot and spicy hot pot together.

Rena is in charge of the hot pot area, and she is busy in front of the pot almost all night, and the bottom of the pot is mixed and cooked from her hands, and then it is served to the table, which becomes the source of delicious hot pot.

In her free time, Rena stood against the wall, picked up a towel to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and unscrewed the thermos cup to take a few sips of water.

His eyes fell on McGonagall, who was still busy in front of the stove, surrounded by three iron pots, two crockpots, and various kitchen utensils, and food was cooking in each pot.

He is like a god, easily moving between the pots, his movements are smooth, people do not feel busy at all, but like enjoying a wonderful cooking show.

"The new guest at the table wants a perverted spicy, and another table has been prepared, two clear soups, three medium spicy, three super spicy, and one perverted spicy." Yabei Mia walked into the kitchen and said as she looked at Rena, who was a little distracted.

"Good...... Good. Rena immediately put down the glass and went back to work.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the business hours ended, and the guests also left.

"I've worked hard tonight, and I've prepared an obesity package for everyone: durian pizza + called chicken, eat some supper and then go home to sleep." McGonagall walked out of the kitchen with a tray and smiled as she looked at the people cleaning up the dining room.

"Boss, if I eat supper every night, I think I'll get fat soon." Yabei Mia touched her stomach, a little distressed.

"yes, I think I'm starting to get fat, do you see my face getting round?" Connie poked her finger in the face, poking a small dimple.

Everyone looked at her and did become a little rounder, and couldn't help but smile a little.

"It looks pretty cute." McGonagall laughed.

The sinful supper was still solved in the disgusted laughter of everyone, and everyone said goodbye and left.

"Good night, see you tomorrow."

Rena and Mia said goodbye and took out the key and whispered the door.

The light was still on in the room, and Karinth was sitting at her desk mending a garment, with a basket of clothes at her feet.

"Mother, didn't you rest earlier, why are you still sewing clothes?" Rena closed the door and looked at Karinth with some helplessness and distress.

"It's not like I can't sleep, so I'm just doing something to kill time, and I'll wait for you to come back by the way." Karinth knotted the thread, bit it off with her teeth, turned around and smiled and pointed to a small square wooden box on the table next to her, "Someone just sent this wooden box, saying that it was from your friend." ”

"Shanshan?" Rena walked to the table, reached out and picked up the brown delicate wooden box that was slightly larger than a palm, it was a bit heavy to start, she was too busy during this time, she had only seen Shanshan once in the restaurant, and she only had one friend besides the people in the restaurant, so she opened the box without much thought.

"It's not Shanshan, it's a middle-aged man, put down his things and leave." Karinth's gaze fell on the box in Rena's hand.

"Middle-aged man?" Rena's hand froze, but the box had been opened.

A dazzling golden light burst from the box, and in the box, a gold bracelet encrusted with jasper glittered in the light.

"This ...... What is it? Who sent such a valuable thing? Carlos stepped forward and looked at the glittering bracelet in the box, the golden streamer flowing on the jasper like a flowing wave.

And under the bracelet was a silver ticket with 100,000 copper coins written on it.

"This ......" Rena already knew who gave the box, and suddenly closed the lid, put the box back on the table, and said a little unnaturally: "It was sent by an unfamiliar person, I will return it tomorrow, mother, you don't have to worry." ”

Karinth looked at Rena, who was a little evasive, then glanced at the wooden box on the table, sat down at the table, and said with a somewhat serious expression: "Rena, are you hiding something from me?" Who is that man? Why did they give you such a valuable gift? ”

"Mother......" Rena looked at Karin, met the stern gaze, hesitated, but still said: "He is the owner of a hot pot restaurant, and he met him on the way back this evening, and asked me to go to his hot pot restaurant as the manager, saying that as long as I agreed to go, he would give us a house in a rich area, and give me thirty percent of the ownership of the hot pot restaurant." ”

"How did you reply to him?" Karin's expression didn't change in the slightest because of this generous promise, and she still asked sternly.

"I turned him down." Rena hurriedly replied.

Karinsi's expression softened slightly, and she pointed to the wooden box on the side and said, "What about this?" ”

"I don't know why he sent such a valuable gift after I refused, but I'll return it early tomorrow morning." Rena shook her head, it was the first time she had seen such a precious gift, and the 100,000 silver ticket was a huge silver ticket that she had never had.

"You're doing the right thing, kid, we can't ask for this money and gifts." Karinth nodded, somewhat relieved.

"But if you promise him, you won't have to sew any more clothes." Rena looked at Karinth with some distress.

"If you go to his shop, what are you going to do? Rely on those hot pots that Mr. McGonagall taught you to help him make money? So what's the difference between this and theft? Karinth looked at Rena and said in a low voice: "We can be poor, but we can't do things without principles and bottom lines, let alone do things with a clear conscience." No matter how much money I get in this way, I will never use a copper coin. ”

"Mother, I see." Rena's gaze gradually cleared and determined, reached out and picked up the wooden box from the table, and said, "I'll send the box back now, and make the words clear to him." ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked out the door.
