Chapter 37 Eating stir-fried vegetables in a hot pot restaurant
With the rapid development of the city, Cao Kee Barbecue Restaurant has long been closed, and even the shop in memory has been demolished and rebuilt and replaced with a bathing center.
Maybe it's because of the demolition that the boss has become a nouveau riche, and he has already gone to the big city to develop.
"Since everyone is changing, it seems like it's time for me to say goodbye to my old life!" Lin Lei secretly made up his mind.
In order to celebrate the beginning of a new life, Lin Lei stepped into the bathing center...... A hot pot restaurant next to it.
As soon as he entered the door, Lin Lei felt as if he had come to the wrong place.
Now it's a meal, but there is not a single customer in the whole hot pot restaurant, even if it is a small county town, the hot pot restaurant with such a poor business must not taste very good.
"Handsome guy, are you coming to dinner? How many people? "The owner of the hot pot restaurant is enthusiastic.
There's no way, it's hard to get in, and you have to think of something to keep it.
"Is there a stir-fry?" Since he came, Lin Lei was embarrassed to leave, so he had to make excuses.
went to a hot pot restaurant to order stir-fried dishes, I'm afraid that there is only Lin Lei who is not afraid of being beaten.
"Want to eat stir-fry? Also, what do you want to stir-fry? The boss thought about it for a moment and said yes.
It seems that the boss will not be easy either.
"Then give me a green pepper back to the pot meat, put less green pepper and more meat, a stir-fried shredded potato, and finally an egg fried rice." Since the boss is so enthusiastic, Lin Lei can only spend here.
He didn't want to order the hot pot, no one came to eat it, and the ghost knows what it tasted like. It's an ordinary farmhouse stir-fry, the ingredients are not complicated, and as long as it is not too salty or too light, it should be almost acceptable.
After ordering the dishes, the boss finished explaining to the kitchen, and got a plate of kimchi and a plate of peanuts, so that Lin Lei could slowly kill the time first.
"Another beer." Seeing that the boss was good, Lin Lei ordered another bottle of wine.
Eating peanuts and drinking beer, waiting for the time to be served, another person came in the store.
The person who came was a girl, wearing the high school uniform of No. 1 Middle School, and when she entered the door, she said loudly, "Dad, I'm hungry, make me something delicious." ”
"Lily, why did you run back again? Didn't I tell you that dinner is eaten near the school, far away, and I have to go to evening self-study for a while, so I don't get tired of running back and forth? While reprimanding his daughter, the boss instructed the back kitchen to fry half more fried meat with green peppers and shredded potatoes.
This is also the habit of small restaurants, a little more fried at one time, saving the second fire.
"Oops! The food near the school was expensive and unpalatable, and after one fool, a fool would go to those shops to eat. Pan Lili said with a look of disgust.
Get...... The fool she said was now spending money in the store.
It can be said that in the past three years, Lin Lei has spent most of his time eating in a small restaurant near the first high school, of course, he has to admit that the food in the restaurant near the school is really not good.
"Even if the taste of other people's restaurants is poor, it is better than your house, even a guest needs to be dragged hard!" Lin Lei secretly said with disdain.
The two dishes are served quickly, the portion is very large, the color looks good, and the rest depends on the taste.
As for the boss's daughter, perhaps in order to solicit business for the hot pot restaurant, she sat directly not far from Lin Lei and ate at the table by the door.
"At least you have to add another plate of peanuts to look like a customer!" Lin Lei laughed to himself, and then he started eating.
"Huh...... It tastes really good! As soon as he put a piece of meat in his mouth, Lin Lei couldn't help but praise.
Maybe it was because the previous expectations were too low, but now it obviously exceeded expectations, which caused him to sigh.
"Why is there no business in the store for such a delicious meal? I know..... It must be a hot pot that is not good, the signboard outside the door should be changed, and the hot pot restaurant should be changed to a home-style stir-fry, so that the guests can definitely be full. Lin Lei secretly commented to himself.
"Girl, eat less now, come back early in the evening, let's eat hot pot!" The boss said to his daughter.
The meals for the girl are only half a small portion, maybe it is really to let her come back in the evening for a big meal.
"Yay! I can eat hot pot again, our hot pot is the best, I love it! I'll be back after evening self-study! "Pan Lili is simply a champion.
made Lin Lei doubt his judgment again, and wondered if he should order a hot pot to verify it.
"Forget it, let's do it next time, the taste of stir-fried food is good, let's try the hot pot tomorrow, if it's all good, I'll use this as a designated canteen in the future."
Lin Lei is not very picky about eating, as long as the taste is good and the price is reasonable, he will frequent it.
Just when Lin Lei and Pan Lili were eating separately, a group of people came in the store again.
These people are probably eighteen or nineteen years old, with cigarettes in their mouths and colorful hairs, and they look like young people in society.
Bai Mao, who was the leader, glanced at Lin Lei, who was eating with his head down, and then said to the boss: "Boss Pan, I heard that you are open here again, and business is booming!" ”
"Gong Xing, why did you bring someone to my dad's store to make trouble?" Before the boss could speak, Pan Lili, who was eating on the side, was the first to ask.
It seems that this is not the first time that this group has come over.
"Yo! Isn't this our class leader? Call Gong Xing more shengfen, you should call me Lao Gong, or Xiaoxing. And I'm bringing my brothers over this time to congratulate your dad on the reopening of his hot pot restaurant, we spend money, you won't sue the teacher, right? The white-haired youth said.
It turned out that the two of them were still students in the same class.
Lin Lei also knows that there are many students in the first high school whose academic performance is not very good, especially the senior students who are about to graduate, many of them start to mix with society in advance, extort money, fight and brawl, and often do not have a sense of risk, and they will die when they shoot.
For this reason, Lin Lei also spent money to buy a few fake cameras from a certain treasure and installed them on the wall of his house, just to deter these guys, so as not to prevent these people from running over the wall into his house.
As for getting a dog...... When he himself is hungry, he eats whenever he wants, and if you raise a dog, do you remember to feed it?
And after a painful parting, it was difficult for Lin Lei to bother raising small animals anymore, because he was afraid of parting.
"As I said, the hot pot recipe won't sell." Boss Pan knew the other party's purpose.
I had already refused once before, and then there were two groups of people who suddenly got into a fight in the store and smashed several tables.
Boss Pan also called the police, but the two groups insisted that it was a private brawl, paid a fine, compensated for the loss of the store, and didn't even detain enough, so they came out directly.
As a result, the shop was renovated and did not open until today.
But before the opening, the "Brother Long" on the road had already released his words, who dared to go to Lao Pan's house to eat hot pot, in case he was accidentally beaten, he could only carry it by himself.
