Chapter 3: Tomato Fish

In a trance, I sat up from the bed and met those eyes.

The thing was staring at me, too, in the dark, it was very tall, and it was standing there motionless, staring at me deeply, very frightening.

Taking a deep breath, I cautiously walked towards it.

When it got closer, it didn't retreat, it still stood there, and I was less than a meter away from it at the moment.

Looking at the two red lights, my breathing was a little short, and I reached out and tentatively touched its body, woody and cold......

At that moment, I seemed to realize something, and quickly turned on the light.

When I saw everything in front of me, I breathed a heavy sigh of relief, because standing in front of me was a large coat rack, and the two red dots on it were emitted from the network receiver hanging on it.

I was a little speechless, how could anyone put the network receiver here, but now that the reason has been figured out, I removed the receiver and put it back on the ground.

After turning off the power and making sure there was nothing unusual in the room again, I turned off the lights and lay down on the bed to continue sleeping.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but when I'm sleeping hazy, I always feel like someone is around me, flipping, undulating...... When I opened my eyes, there was nothing.

The next day, the sun was good, and after three subway and two bus transfers, I found a Chinese restaurant that looked good near a university in a suburban county.

It was not yet twelve o'clock, the students had not finished class yet, there were not many people, and the boss was sitting leisurely at the door smoking.

Seeing me walk in, the tall and thin boss hurriedly came up and found me a seat to sit in. I flipped through the menu, because I was alone, the boss suggested that I should have a tomato fish fillet, there is meat and vegetarian, and I can do it alone.

I nodded and said yes.

The tomato fish is red and white, the color is bright and moist, and the white and tender fish meat is like jade, this dish should be an innovative dish, not only have I never eaten it before, but I have never even heard of it.

The fish has no thorns, the soup is viscous, and the boiled tomato juice wraps around the fish, and melts when you take a sip in your mouth.

Seeing that I ate a bowl of fish soup, the boss on the side was very satisfied, and was about to leave, I stopped him.

He asked me what was going on, and I said I wanted to talk to him.

My request was a bit strange, I was just an ordinary customer to him, and we didn't know each other before, so what was there to talk about between two strangers?

Straight to the point, I said, "I want to know, what happened to the store you opened before?" ”

There weren't many people in the restaurant the whole time, and the boss listened to my words and was stunned for a moment, so he simply sat down across from me and poured himself a cup of tea.

He asked me, "You rented that shop too?" ”

I said yes.

The owner of the Chinese restaurant changed his face slightly: "Young man, I advise you to return it quickly, that shop can't be rented!" ”

He spoke earnestly, and seemed a little worried about me.

I put down my chopsticks and looked at him sincerely: "Please tell me, what exactly is in that store?" ”

The boss stared at me for a moment, hesitating, and I went from my pocket to the pack of cigarettes I bought in the small shop next door to give it to him.

Smoking is the best way to win over the relationship between two strange men, in order to cater to him, I also tried to smoke one, just chatted with him for a while, and sure enough, the relationship was closer than just now.

He looked at me very seriously: "No matter how cheap the shop is, don't rent it, lest the gains outweigh the losses." ”

I asked, "What exactly do you see in there?" ”

Seeing that I insisted on asking, the boss sighed and finally said to me:

The Chinese restaurant owner, surnamed Li, originally opened a restaurant on the pedestrian street of the business district, and he has been doing this business for more than 20 years, and he can see at a glance where the shop can make a living.

After the business district was completed, he contacted Zhao Wei as soon as possible.

The shop that Zhao Wei bought was at the corner of the joint, and the lot was the best among all the shops, although the price was more expensive, but Boss Li still resolutely rented it.

The shop is Qingshui Building, and Boss Li signed a five-year long-term contract, spent a lot of money to decorate, and is ready to do a good job.

The money was spent, the things that should have been purchased were bought, and the Chinese restaurant officially opened, beaming with joy.

At the end of the day, the business is very good, the previous customers have been found, and the customers are not out until the early hours of the morning, Boss Li counted the turnover on the first day of opening, and his heart was happy.

He was the last to leave the shop that day, and before leaving, he deliberately checked everywhere, and after making sure that there was no one, he was about to leave, when he suddenly heard a voice from the kitchen, where the lights had long been turned off.

Boss Li had already stepped out of the door at that time, and after a pause, he immediately returned to the shop and walked to the kitchen.

When he was just standing in the doorway, he was stunned by everything in front of him.

A cook is sweating by the stove, the food in a large pot crackling and the exhaust fan rattling.

The chef was not hired by Boss Li, he didn't know him at all, but he saw the other party skillfully shoveling the vegetables in the pot onto the plate, and just when he wanted to go forward to ask, a figure came over next to him.

It was a woman, tall and thin, and she walked a little lightly.

The store also did not hire such a waiter, I saw her pick up the dish on the stove and walk out, and when she passed by Boss Li's side, she didn't look at him.

Boss Li noticed that there was a dish of raw stir-fried beef on the plate, with a large amount of fresh pepper and green garlic, which tasted fresh and fragrant, a typical salt dish.

Every dish on the menu of the Chinese restaurant is carefully selected by Boss Li, so he knows that there is absolutely no such stir-fried beef in the restaurant, and he has also considered adding that dish to the menu before, but because the beef selected is very special, it must be the best and most tender two taels on the beef tenderloin.

If you can't meet the requirements in terms of ingredient procurement, you can only give up.

But the dish that the woman brought out just now was a dish of raw stir-fried beef.

The woman placed the dish on a table where there were no guests, and she did not sit down to eat it, but just stood by and watched, giggling from time to time in her mouth, sounding creepy.

And the cook, on the other hand, squatted next to the stove and began to smoke, one after another, and the picture was very weird.

Lao Li was so strange that he couldn't help but approach the kitchen and yelled at the man: "Who the hell are you!?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the man raised his head.

After seeing his face clearly, Lao Li gasped!

The chef in front of him, his facial features were almost distorted together, and it was estimated that he had been burned by fire. When he looked at Lao Li, although the upper and lower mouths were crooked, the cigarette butt was held in his teeth.

At first glance, it's very hideous!
