Chapter 212: The Mysterious Guest
Recently, Chen Meilan's life has been quite frightening.
After moving to Kyoto from the countryside, she devoted herself to entrepreneurship and wanted to change the trajectory of her life through her own efforts.
In fact, there is another original intention, which is Chu Yang.
She knew that her background was not worthy of him, even if Chu Yang liked her again, the distance between the two of them still couldn't be changed.
Chu Yang couldn't fight against her family wholeheartedly for her and make enemies of his mother.
And Chen Meilan doesn't want and doesn't want to see such a situation.
The love she wants is blessed and warm, not sabre-rattling.
It's just that as the pace of her own business has stabilized, the distance between her and Chu Yang is getting farther and farther.
Chen Meilan also found the joy of concentrating on her career.
It's just that she can't just let go completely, after all, she and Chu Yang have also experienced so many things, and it is not without reason that she was excited at the beginning.
When people are idle, they like to think cranky.
Chen Meilan couldn't bear the loneliness, and her foot was injured and she couldn't move freely, so she asked her buddies to take her to the noodle restaurant and sit behind the counter.
At the headquarters, Ye Jinghuai took care of her, and he also insisted on not letting Chen Meilan pass, saying that her foot was injured and it was inconvenient to go up and down the stairs back and forth.
It is even more impossible for her to stay alone in the restaurant.
She sits in the six-six noodle restaurant, and can help with the checkout or something.
"Boss, just sit here, I'll come. ”
The guys in the store saw that Chen Meilan couldn't move, but she wasn't idle, so he was embarrassed to stop her.
"It's okay, you've worked hard for a while, our noodle shop has been busy lately, I'm ready to recruit two more people, you pay attention." ”
Chen Meilan said.
"I can't do anything with a foot injury, but this little thing about collecting accounts doesn't bother me, you can hurry up and go to the lobby. ”
The guy had to follow the boss's arrangement.
"Well, boss, if there is anything, you can call me in time, then I will go first. The man saw two more people coming in from the door, and hurried over to receive them.
It's still a while before the meal arrives, but there are already a lot of customers in the restaurant.
It may also be that today is the weekend, and people who work in the neighborhood finally have a day off and come to eat in groups.
"The food in our unit is so big that my head is big, and every day it is just a few things, the clear soup is watery, there is no oil star, and there is no taste. ”
The people at the same table chimed in: "How good can the food in the unit be? ”
Another person continued: "Is this restaurant really as delicious as you say? I spent two days of my wife's grocery shopping for this meal." ”
"Oh, you just believe me, it's not delicious, my name is written backwards. ”
To be honest, according to the price at the time, the noodles of Liuliu Noodle Restaurant were slightly more expensive than those of other restaurants, but they were also within a reasonable range.
People's living standards have improved a lot compared to before, and there are still many people who are willing to pay for it.
Chen Meilan sat at the counter and listened to the small talk of the guests, which was also a kind of harvest.
After a while, there were more and more people in the store, and the guys were busy with their feet not touching the ground, and Chen Meilan also helped order food at the counter, and for a while, the atmosphere in the store was very lively.
Chen Meilan was busy settling the bill for a table of customers, and she didn't notice a woman walking in from the door of the noodle restaurant.
"Excuse me......"
Her speech and demeanor reveal her good upbringing.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he was muffled by the sound of the store.
She walked around the store and saw that the guy was busy running before and after, so she didn't say anything more.
The woman walked to the counter with a small pink leather bag in her hand and block heels.
"Excuse me......"
Chen Meilan was busy settling accounts when she suddenly heard a woman's voice sound.
She looked up, but couldn't react in time.
The woman in front of her has a very good temperament, she is dressed with a bookish smell, and her age should be about the same age as her mother, but she is very well maintained, there are almost no wrinkles on her face, and her skin is tighter than her peers.
"Hello," Chen Meilan hurriedly greeted after she reacted.
She couldn't guess the woman's intentions.
It doesn't look like she's here to eat noodles.
"I want to ...... Order a meal. ”
But as soon as she spoke, she denied the speculation.
"Hello, what would you like to order?"
Chen Meilan put down the ledger in her hand and looked up at the guest.
"I ...... It's your first time here, do you have any recommendations?"
She said as she picked up the menu at hand.
"Why haven't I eaten anything in your store?"
Chen Meilan smiled.
"To tell you the truth, our family has not been in Kyoto for a long time, and we have been doing business in our hometown before, so you haven't seen it. ”
The man seemed curious, "Oh, where is your hometown?"
Chen Meilan didn't expect her to ask, so she could only talk nonsense.
"My home is in the southwest, far from Kyoto, which is a specialty of my hometown, and if you're willing to try it, I recommend our signature spicy noodles. ”
She shifted her target in two sentences, and for some reason, she was somewhat weak in the face of this woman.
"Uh-huh, yes, thank you boss. ”
When the man was done, he came and cleaned up a small table for her to sit there.
"Wait a minute, the noodles will come soon, this is a small dish from our store, you can try it first." ”
The man skillfully brought over a plate of kimchi and put it in front of the woman.
Chen Meilan unconsciously wanted to pay attention to her.
The more you look at it, the more familiar it becomes.
But I can't think of anything, and Chen Meilan is not embarrassed by herself.
After a while, the noodles in the back kitchen are ready, and when the guy serves them on a wooden plate, there is a small piece of hot sauce next to it.
"This hot sauce is also a specialty of our store, with our noodles, it is very fragrant, you can use it slowly. ”
She looked expectant, and as soon as the guy put down the bowl, she pulled out a pair of chopsticks from the chopstick holder and ate it.
After tasting the noodles, she had some surprise on her face.
"It tastes great and I like it. ”
She raised her head and said to Chen Meilan.
Seeing the woman bow her head and eat noodles very seriously, Chen Meilan felt very satisfied.
A woman who looks like an extraordinary temperament would not enjoy food so casually like this, would not look down on her level of food, or at least behaved very reservedly, but the guest in front of her did not look contrived at all.
Chen Meilan was full of affection for her, and inexplicably felt that she was kind.
"You can try the hot sauce. ”
Chen Meilan opened her mouth to remind.
"Ah, but I can't eat chili peppers, this looks spicy?"
"It's not spicy, you can try it first. ”
Chen Meilan said and asked the guy to bring a crispy biscuit from the back kitchen.
"You can eat it with this. ”
The guy gave her a demonstration and showed her how to eat this hot sauce.
