2. The first customer is a cat

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the small shop opened on time. Why six p.m.? Because I can't get up in the morning. To sleep this kind of thing, you must sleep until you wake up naturally, so the business hours of the small shop are from 6 pm to 2 am the next day.

Chen Li sat on the inside of the counter, watching the sunset collect little by little, feeling the whirlpool of time flowing by, picked up the cup, took a sip gently, and the satisfaction in his heart was like a cloud in the sky, stretching out little by little.

It's nice to feel like such a waste of time.

The only problem is that there are still no customers coming to the door. Even if the common sense is changed, there are still no customers coming to the door.

"Hey." sighed softly, a faint sadness, a small shop without customers, it is not a real small shop.

"Watermelon?" Shui Yu asked beside him.

"Well, please give me a piece, thank you." Chen Li immediately put away his sorrow and nodded with a smile. When eating watermelon, you must not be sad, but feel its sweetness with the most cheerful mood. Watching Shui Yu take out a watermelon from the cabinet, stroke it casually, turn it into five even pieces, and spread it on the plate.

"Give me a piece!" The sparks on the stove burst out and shouted fervently.

"Don't worry, you haven't sprinkled some salt yet." Chen Li turned around and picked up the salt jar, carefully twisted a small handful, and sprinkled it evenly on the watermelon, and said: "Well, add a little saltiness, so that the sweetness of the watermelon will not be greasy, this is called surplus, leave a little room for everything, so that it can be sustainable." Okay, come, Xiaofeng, it's yours. ”

The translucent woman bends slightly.

"This one is yours, Shui Yu."

"If you can stop saying stupid things later, I'll think you're more handsome." Shui Yu took the watermelon that was about the same size as her, and her mouth was not forgiving at all.

"No, Shui Yu, then I'm too handsome, I want to keep it. Come, Mars, it's yours. Chen Li shook his head with a smile and handed Mars a piece of watermelon.

"Phew! Lao Li, I'm done eating, come again. Mars rolled up the watermelon, went down directly, and then looked at Chen Li with a blank eye.

"No, there's another piece that is returned." Chen Li flicked Mars's head, picked up the remaining two pieces of watermelon, and walked out of the store.

"Return, come, eat watermelon." Chen Li put the watermelon in front of Tugui, watched him eat it slowly, smiled slightly, took a bite himself, and squatted like this, while looking at the earthly lights in the distance, while facing Tugui, eating the watermelon bite by bite.

The lights of the city mingle with the nostalgic afterglow of the sky, dyeing the sky a rosy red, well, a little vibrant orange, a cool breeze, and a faint meow.

"Eat. Food.. I smell the smell of eating. Give me something to eat. ”

"Huh?" Chen Li nibbled on the last piece of red of the watermelon, stood up, took two steps forward, and saw the cat lying on the steps.

"Meow~" The cat raised its eyes weakly and looked at Chen Li, and barked softly. I really feel sorry for it, if I can't hear its heart.

[It turned out to be a shovel of, hurry up and give me something to eat!] Don't you see your master, I'm hungry! 】

"I'm sorry, I can hear you. What do you call me? Chen Li squatted on top of it, supported his chin with one hand, and said lazily.

"Meow~" The cat was startled, but it still looked at Chen Li with an innocent face, and meowed weakly, but in his heart he exclaimed: [Ahhhh The shovelers have rebelled! Oh, wrong, ahhhh The shovel is fine! 】

"Ha~" Chen Li yawned lazily, no, he was lazy when he ate, alas, he could only blame the evening breeze for being too pleasant, and the temperature was too good. He stood up, stretched his waist, looked down at the cat, and said, "So you're not talking to me." That's a bother, you wait for your shovel. Oh, by the way, I don't know why, but it doesn't seem like people come here at night. Hope your shoveler comes. ”

[Are you threatening Ben Meow? A mere shovel of dares to threaten your master! That's enough! I command you, hurry up and put your best food before me, so that I can forgive you for your rudeness! 】

This cat is obviously a little deep into the play.

"Goodnight, then." Chen Li waved his hand, turned around and dragged his steps inside.

[Hmph! If you want to get away with it, right? Immature! I've seen through you a long time ago! If you take a step, you will definitely turn back! 】

[Uh, no, take two steps, take two steps definitely. 】

[I didn't think you could bear it, three steps. 】

[No, you'll turn back the moment you open the store.。。 】

"Bang~" The sound of the door door and the door frame slamming spread exceptionally far away in this quiet evening.

"Yo, it's all done." Chen Li threw the watermelon peel in his hand to Mars and said.

Mars swallowed in one gulp, spewed out a few sparks, and said in a muffled voice: "Old Leave you is really grinding." ”

"Yes, yes, I'm really sorry~" Chen Li sat by the door, pulled out a tissue, and threw it into the trash after using it.

"Meow~Meow~Meow~"

[That's it! I lost! Come out, human, I'm losing! I'm not telling you to shovel! 】

Chen Li shook his head with a smile, stood up, pushed open the door of the store, and said with a smile: "Hey, I have a name, just call me Lao Li." "No problem.

[Cut, just human.] Don't leave! Okay, okay, let's go, give me something to eat! 】

"No." Chen Li's answer was crisp and neat.

【What! Seeing me such a cute cat, you can't bear to starve me! 】

"I want to eat and come in. Also, say 'please'. "It's a life, you can save it if you can do it. But it's definitely not used to it.

[Chaos Humans! How dare you threaten me! 】

"If you don't come in, I'll close the door." Chen Li made a gesture that I wanted to close the door.

The cat immediately sprang up and slipped through the door.

[Hmph! Since you have been graciously invited, I will come in reluctantly. Hurry up! Take out all the best you've got here and set it in front of me! 】

"I'm sorry, but due to your spending power, I can only provide you with cat food." Chen Li glanced at the cat lying on the ground, shook his head with a smile, closed the door of the store, and said.

【Cat rice? What is it? Is there a special meal for us cats? Hmph, after all, you are still my captive, forget it, I'll barely make it unpalatable once~]

What can Chen Li say? took the apron handed by Xiaofeng, the smile on his face faded little by little, leaving only focus and seriousness, walking into the counter, his fingers were beating lightly, and the kitchenware trembled slightly, as if he was alive, looking forward to a big battle.

Reaching out to take the porcelain bowl and rice spoon that Xiaofeng rolled up, scooped out the rice that would always remain freshly cooked from the magic rice cooker, carefully took it to just eight minutes full, took out three small dried yellow croakers from the drying cabinet, carefully tore them, sprinkled them into the bowl, stirred well, and the cat rice was baked.

[That's it? Is this cat rice? You're kidding? I just thought you were amazing! Still looking forward to it! That's it? 】

Chen Li put the bowl in front of the cat, nodded, and said, "Cat rice, please taste it." ”

[I want big fish!] Fresh big fish! 】

"If you don't eat it, I'll take it." Chen Li squatted beside it and said lazily. The cat's stomach gave a 'goo~' very cooperatively.

[Okay, hum! Since you kindly recommend it, I'll barely eat it! Take it! 】

[Hey, what about you, take it! ] 】

Chen Li looked at the cat lying on his stomach a little helplessly, and the cat rice that was just a paw away from it, sighed, and said, "Alas, move yourself." ”

[You! That's enough! Ben Meow has been retreating.,You're so aggressive.,Really think Ben Meow doesn't have a temper, isn't it! Take it! I won't eat it if I don't take it! 】

Chen Li looked at it with a smile, but he didn't move. The cat's belly 'cooed~' again.

【Belly! Can you fight for it? Don't you see that Ben Meow is angry! 】

[No, this meow must not move, if you move, you will lose! ] 】

The cat's stomach 'cooed~' again.

[Human, if you move the food closer, I will mercifully let you touch it!] 】

【Twice!】 】

[I allow you to touch my chin!] 】

【Belly! 】

【。。 Could it be that I'm going to die here today? 】

[Woo woo woo . I don't care, even if Ben Shuai Meow starves to death and dies outside, he won't eat anything from you! 】

The breeze blows, and the porcelain bowl gently moves in front of it. Chen Li looked up and saw Xiaofeng with a pleading face, she gently glanced at the cat that was barely getting up and eating greedily, and folded her hands on her chest to plead. He sighed softly, nodded, stood up, and said, "I really can't help you." ”

[It's really fragrant. Woo woo. 】

The night breeze is rising, the potted plants outside the window are swaying, and the distant whistle and the noisy voices are spilled on this quiet street by the wind, dyeing it with a bit of human flavor.

The cat scurried up the wall of the alley, looked down at the shop, and meowed. Cat gratitude? Of course not.

[Hmph! Today's shame has been written! I'll give it back with a tooth for a tooth, and I'll pay it back twice! Hum! 】

Chen Li watched the cat's arrogant figure disappear between the overlapping concrete walls of the city, smiled slightly, and stretched his waist.

"Hey, we're the first customer, aren't we?"
