Chapter 18: The House of Food

The two got out of the car and re-entered the hospital, as soon as they entered the door and walked to the corridor on the right, they arrived at the restaurant that Lei Baoquan said, looking into it from the glass wall, the decoration inside is indeed unique, not like the kind of "canteen-style" restaurants in other hospitals, but more like a Western restaurant in a department store.

"How? Looks good, right? Lei Baoquan said with a smile.

"I really didn't pay attention when I came in just now, but what's the use of good decoration, I don't know how it tastes, you see that there are not many people inside." Li Bai pointed to the table where only two or three guests were sitting inside.

"It's so late, the meal is early, we should have supper." The two of them came to the door of the restaurant, and the sign on it was extremely colorful and said "Food House".

When they walked in the door, the restaurant was not small, neatly arranged in three rows, about thirty tables, and the two of them chose a window seat and sat down.

Li Bai said: "Looking at the name of this restaurant, I know that it should be Japanese food. ”

As soon as the words fell, a young waitress walked over, handed the menu to Lei Baoquan and Li Bai with a smile, and asked, "Take a look, what do you want to eat?" ”

Lei Baoquan opened the menu and took a look, suddenly laughed, and said to Li Bai: "You guessed right, your Japanese cuisine and scrambled eggs with tomatoes are there." ”

Li Bai opened the menu and looked at it, most of them were stir-fried dishes that he had eaten, and he couldn't help but be embarrassed, and said, "When I say Japanese food, I mean dishes that can be eaten every day." ”

Hearing this, the waiter on the side couldn't help but laugh. Lei Baoquan waved his hand and said to the waiter, "Do you have any signature dishes here?" ”

"Of course, the signature is two dishes and one dumpling, the dish is smooth meat and bamboo shoot boiling broth, dumplings are the first signature dish of our store, the secret signature dumplings!" When the waiter introduced. His expression is very proud, and he can see that he has a lot of confidence in his own dishes.

As soon as Li Bai heard the name, it was all meat, and he immediately swallowed his saliva and asked, "What kind of filling are dumplings?" ”

"Several minced meats are stirred with special spices that our boss brought back from South Asia. It's not that I'm exaggerating, it's really delicious! All the guests who come, including those in the hospital upstairs, must order one every time they come! The waiter said.

"Sounds good! Uncle Lei, why don't you have one? Li Bai was moved.

Lei Baoquan glanced at him expressionlessly and said, "What dumplings do you eat on a big night?" Eat something light, listen to me, two vegetarian dishes, and two bowls of noodles. ”

"Huh?" Li Bai said puzzled after listening. "You don't order other people's signature dishes, so what do you ask?"

"I can't ask? I asked, do I have to get some? Lei Baoquan asked rhetorically.

The waiter smiled next to him and said, "It's okay, you two can try it again next time, anyway, what I recommend to you is right, if you don't believe it, you can try it in the future." ”

"Okay, well, try later." Lei Baoquan nodded.

In a few moments, their dishes were served. Li Bai looked at the dumplings on the two tables not far away, steaming. The guests at the two tables applauded the food, and the two bowls of somen noodles and two plates of green vegetables on their side were not attractive.

"Eat, what are you doing in a daze?" Lei Baoquan saw Li Bai looking at the other side, so he beckoned.

Li Bai picked up the chopsticks and couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect it to be so difficult to even eat dumplings now, life." It's so impermanent. ”

Lei Baoquan looked at him and smiled, ignoring him. After the two of them finished eating, Lei Baoquan beckoned the waiter to pay. It was the waiter who took the money just now, Lei Baoquan asked while counting the money, "Who is your boss?" ”

"Huh?" The waiter was stunned, "Our boss...... You probably don't know each other, do you? ”

"I didn't say I knew him. I'm just asking, I see that your store is so well decorated, and the place is so big, it must have cost a lot of money. Lei Baoquan said.

The waiter smiled and didn't answer.

"Most importantly, the location. can open in the hospital, and can stand on the first half of the floor, your boss's strength should not be simple, right? What Lei Baoquan wanted to say the most was this sentence, since he came in just now, he has been wondering in his heart, what does this boss have to do to open such a store in the hospital?

When the waiter heard this, he smirked twice and said, "This ...... I don't know, I'm just working, I just know that the boss has good skills, and the guests like the food he cooks, as for the background or something...... I do not know. ”

Looking at the waiter who looked like a student, Lei Baoquan didn't want to ask to the end, nodded and said, "Oh, it turns out that your boss still cooks himself?" ”

"Of course, but he only makes signature dishes, because he said that the recipe can't be leaked, so he can only make it himself." When the waiter talks about his boss, it's like talking about an idol.

Li Bai listened for a long time, then stood up and said to Lei Baoquan: "Eat when you eat, why do you ask so much?" Is it possible that you still want to meet other people's bosses? ”

"It's nothing impossible, I really want to see what kind of person such a promising boss is." Lei Baoquan said with a smile.

"Forget it, people who can't even afford to order dumplings still want to meet other people's bosses? It's impossible to say if the boss wants to see you. After speaking, Li Bai rolled his eyes and turned around and walked out.

Lei Baoquan coughed embarrassedly, looked at the waiter who was secretly laughing, said "goodbye", and caught up with Li Bai.

"I said, are you going to rebel? Didn't you order a dumpling? As for it? ”

"Shhhh

"I repeat it again, I'm not because I'm reluctant, I think it's not good to eat so greasy at night, if you don't believe it, then you buy it, you see I'm reluctant to pay for it, you buy it......"

The two men walked out of the restaurant with their mouths crossed, the waiter looked at the backs of the two people, was amused for a long time, cleaned up the table, walked to the counter, and handed the money to a man sitting inside.

"Boss, money." The waiter said.

The man inside took the money and stood up. He looked very ordinary, about the same height as Lei Baoquan, with a beard and a small faint scar on the left side of his face. He put the money in the cash register behind the counter and asked, "What did you just talk about so happily?" ”

The waiter handed the tray into the back kitchen from the gap, turned his head and replied, "No, it's just that these two people are talking very interestingly, by the way, the older guest said he wanted to meet you." ”

"See me? Why? The boss asked.

"He said that it must not be easy for someone to open such a store in this place." The waiter conveyed Lei Baoquan's meaning.

The boss listened, turned his head and looked out the window, in the parking lot in front of the hospital gate, the two people who had just gone out were still arguing in front of the car, he stared at the two people, and muttered: "People nowadays are very curious about everything."
