4. The elegy of the second middle girl
"Yo, bearer of the Book of Destiny! How did you come here? The girl beckoned with some surprise, "Did you foresee my call?" ”
"No, actually, I was instructed by your sister to come out to find you." The little fat man put away his umbrella, leaned it against the door, and as he closed the door, he said, "Also, I am not the holder of the Book of Destiny, I am just a street writer." ”
"What! I didn't think you were also bought by the evil witch! The girl ignored his confession and stood up with a gesture of wanting to flee.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I haven't told her yet." The little fat man waved his hand, stopped the girl's overreaction, threw the one hundred and forty pounds of fat on the stool, squeezed his delicate eyebrows, and said, "Don't blame me, your sister said, as long as I find you, my credit in your store will be drawn." I'm so poor that I'm about to sell meat now, so I can only endure humiliation in order to continue my life. When the rain is a little lighter, I will tell your sister that you are here, and it will be convenient for you to continue running at that time, and my account will be drawn, how about it? ”
The girl looked at the heavy rain outside, shrunk, looked at the little fat man, and said with some suspicion: "Really? ”
"What are you lying to!" The little fat man replied with a righteous face. Seeing that the girl sat down again, she turned her head to look at Chen Li, who was watching the play next to her, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm smiling, you're the boss, right?" Chen Li nodded, and he continued: "Haha, I'm Yuan Shen, just call me Old Yuan, this girl with a second illness here is Su Yuexue, boss?" ”
"Chen Li, just call me Lao Li." Chen Li nodded at Yuan Shen and said with a smile.
"Haha, the boss is refreshing, then I'll call you to leave." Yuan Shen unceremoniously climbed up and said with a smile: "Anyway, Lao Li, why don't you have a menu when you open a restaurant?" ”
"I'm more casual here, you can order as you like, as long as I will do it, or you say I will do it, and finally charge the cost of ingredients and firewood, of course, if you bring your own ingredients, I will only charge the firewood processing fee." Chen Li smiled, added boiling water to Su Yuexue, and said casually.
"A hero is a hero, and it's really different from the dark altar of witches!" Su Yuexue exhaled comfortably, put down the ginger tea, and nodded with a serious face. Although I didn't know what she was serious, it sounded like a compliment, so Chen Li reluctantly accepted it, and then filled her with ginger tea.
"Yuexue, if you say that, your sister is going to be angry again." Yuan Shen didn't refute Su Yuexue's description of the Dark Altar, but just reiterated her sister's majesty, and then couldn't wait to say to Chen Li: "Anyway, I think, Lao Li, although you are very individualistic in doing this, I must still solemnly tell you that you should make a menu!" ”
"Huh?" Chen Li looked at Yuan Shen, who seemed to be a little apprehensive, with a smile and two pottery cups from the cabinet on the side, the kettle in his right hand was lightly tapped, and he rotated around the mouth of the cup, and after washing it clean, he put it on the counter, and then ordered it with his right hand, and the silver dragon drove the clouds and mist, rolled into the cup, and placed it in front of the guests with slight ripples.
"Oh hoo."
"Beautiful."
The two onlookers admired Chen Li's neat movements, Yuan Shen picked up the cup, took a sip of just the right amount of warm water, and said, "It's amazing." Oh, by the way, I just talked about the menu, hey, it's true, I'm not talking nonsense. Psychologically speaking, everyone has a fear of choice, the more choices you give, the more anxious he becomes, and when you have so many choices that it overwhelms his mental capacity, then he will instinctively choose to escape. So, while not using a menu is your specialty, instead of reducing the burden on your customers, it will make them feel anxious. ”
"Hmm... No wonder there aren't many of them. Chen Li touched his chin, nodded, and said as if he had realized something.
"So, it's better to come up with a menu and give you a few options to make it less stressful for your customers." Yuan Shen said with a smile.
"Sounds good, do you have any suggestions?"
"Just pick three or two of the dishes you are best at and the best to make, and then make a sign to hang on the wall next to it. Two or three choices are the most comfortable, people who have no goals will naturally pick in it, and they have what they want in their hearts, and then they can withdraw the characteristics of the old one. ”
Su Xueyue looked at the two of them left and right, with an unclear expression, and added a sentence in a hurry: "Yes, hero, you can think about it, although the holder of the Book of Destiny writes very ugly novels, the suggestions he said are very powerful!" His suggestion saved the witch's apothecary! ”
"That,I know you're trying to praise me.,But,Is it okay to stick a knife in the face like this.。。 I'm a writer now.,Say to my face that what I write is ugly.,Street writers also have human rights.。。 Yuan Shen scratched his head and said a little twistedly.
"Bearer of the Book of Destiny, recognize your own gifts! Don't push yourself, you can only be yourself if you follow your nature! Su Yuexue patted Yuan Shen's shoulder and said with a holy face: "Just like me, recognize the powerful magic power in my body, and then I can become a great witch." If you can't know your true self, it's like that witch, who obviously doesn't have any talent for medicine, but she has to forcibly refine medicine, and all she makes is abyss poison. ”
"Oh? Yuexue, it seems that you have a lot of opinions about your sister and me's cooking? ”
A cold and faint voice floated from the door of the store, the sound of the hula wind covered the footsteps, and unconsciously, the woman in the black dress stood at the door of the store, pushing the door open, the wind and rain puffed up her long skirt, and her long hair writhed like a black snake.
Su Yuexue looked at Yuan Shen in disbelief, seeing that he was a little embarrassed, she turned her face away and said, "That, it's already dark, it's not good to run again." ”
"Enough, traitor!" Su Yuexue pursed her lips, snorted vigorously, then scooped up the cloak on the rolling pin, stood up, and said while draping it: "Hmph!" You and I will have a fight, but I didn't expect this moment to come so quickly, witch. Let's take a look at my latest abilities! Ahhh The seal is lifted! As he spoke, his body trembled slightly, and he held his forehead with his hand, as if he wanted to pull away the forehead guard.
"From hell."
"Boom!" Before the girl's voice fell, the woman at the door decisively threw out a thick book, and Chen Li's excellent dynamic vision saw the golden "Three Hundred Chinese Dishes" on it, spinning it, knocking on the girl's head, killing with one blow. It's like it's been rehearsed countless times.
Then I saw the woman in the black dress dragging the back of the girl's neck, walking out like dragging a prey, and when she left, she glared at Chen Li.
"Whew. Su Xingyu is really terrifying. After the woman dragged the girl and disappeared into the wind and rain when she came, Yuan Shen finally exhaled, wiped his forehead, looked palpitating, and said, "I'm sorry, Yuexue, your sister has spoken, if I can't find you, I have to try ten dishes to pay off my debts." That's really going to die, and I think you'll understand me. ”
Chen Li looked at this Erwuzi a little speechlessly, this little fat man whispered prayerfully, and then shook his head, as if the scene just now did not exist, and he was just here to eat, and said familiarly: "Hey, boss, what will you cook?" ”
