Chapter 11: Sorry for the Cat
At nine o'clock in the evening, there were no more guests coming to the door.
Lu Mingyu finished cleaning, pulled down the roller shutter door, and after a busy day, he could finally lie in bed and rest.
Lu Zhan took off his apron, put it on the chair, and said to Lu Mingyu: "Mom, you go upstairs first, I'll come here." ”
Lu Mingyu said: "Don't be reckless. You've been busy all day today, are you feeling unwell? If you're uncomfortable, don't bear it, just say it. ”
Lu Zhan shook his head, "I'm fine." There's nothing uncomfortable about it. ”
Lu Mingyu was still not at ease, and advised: "You have to pay attention to your body." The body is just a little better, so don't do it. That's what you need to help with. ”
Lu Zhan mentioned another thing, "Mom, let's not make breakfast in the future." It's too hard to get up so early in the morning. ”|
In fact, Lu Zhan wanted to say this a long time ago. It's just that Lu Zhan was seriously ill at that time and couldn't help Lu Mingyu, so he endured it and didn't say anything.
Today, for the first time, Lu Zhan really took on the burden of the pillars of the family. And he is confident that he will make the restaurant business better and better.
In addition, he stopped taking medicine, and he could save thousands of yuan in medicine costs every month, so that it was enough to cook two meals at noon and evening. The meal in the morning is too hard and not profitable, so there is no need to make it.
Lu Mingyu disagreed, "You can sell it for more than 100 yuan in the morning, and sometimes the business is good, and you can sell it for 2 or 300 yuan." If you don't cook that meal in the morning, you will lose thousands of dollars in income this month. ”
Lu Zhan asked, "Mom, how much money did we sell at noon and evening today?" ”
Lu Mingyu put down the mop and took out the money in his waist bag.
Most of the money in the fanny pack is change.
Lu Mingyu counted out one hundred and fifty yuan, which was sold in the morning.
All that's left is the money from the noon and evening sales.
Lu Mingyu ordered it twice and told Lu Zhan, "It was sold for a total of eight hundred and twenty yuan at noon and evening." Two hundred of them were collected on WeChat. ”
After a hard day's work, it was sold for less than a thousand. After deducting costs, labor, and profits, the profits are pitiful.
The business of Lu's noodle restaurant is not very good, and the reason is that Lu Zhan is clear in his heart.
Lu Mingyu's stir-fry skills are average, which is one reason. The main thing is that 50 meters down the street, there is a small noodle restaurant with the same business scope.
It was a mom-and-pop shop, and the female cashier and waitress did it. The man is in charge of stir-frying. It is said that the man used to work as a chef in a restaurant, and his skills were very good.
In addition, the mom-and-pop shop is equipped with air conditioning, and in this summer, there is too much difference between having air conditioning and not having air conditioning. So many people are willing to walk 50 meters and go to another noodle restaurant to eat.
Since the opening of that noodle shop, the business of the Lu family noodle restaurant has plummeted.
Today it was not bad, and it was sold for almost a thousand dollars.
Like usual, Lu Mingyu runs the restaurant business alone, and many times he is busy in a day, and he can only sell it for five or six hundred yuan. You can imagine how bleak business is.
Fortunately, the store is its own and there is no need to pay additional rent, otherwise such a light business would have closed down long ago.
Lu Zhan said to Lu Mingyu: "Stop breakfast." I struggled to earn back the money I lost for breakfast and dinner. ”
Lu Mingyu disagreed, "Lu Zhan, you are too anxious. Even if your meal is delicious, guests won't be able to come in all at once. When business really gets better, it's not too late to stop breakfast. ”
Lu Zhan said: "Mom, breakfast will stop sooner or later, so let's start tomorrow." I don't want to see you so tired. With me to help you in the future, our days will be better. ”
Lu Mingyu frowned, "Can your body afford to eat just for lunch and dinner? Don't tire your body first if you don't earn the money in the end." ”
Lu Zhan smiled, "Mom, don't worry, I'm fine." I'll take another dose of medicine tonight. ”
"Okay, you can decoct the medicine. Lu Mingyu put the money away and continued to mop the floor.
Lu Zhan couldn't cry or laugh, "Mom, remember not to open the door tomorrow morning." We don't make breakfast in the future. ”
Lu Mingyu didn't agree to Lu Zhan.
Lu Zhan smiled helplessly. He knew very well that before the business got better, it was impossible for Lu Mingyu to agree to close the breakfast business. After all, breakfast can bring in an income of about 100 yuan a day.
After Lu Mingyu finished mopping the ground, he went upstairs to take a shower and sleep.
When he went upstairs, Lu Mingyu told Lu Zhan to rest early and not stay up late. The body is so bad, and if you stay up late, it is really not far from death.
Lu Zhan responded, telling Lu Mingyu not to worry about him.
Lu Zhan took out the casserole and began to decoction the medicine.
With his previous experience, Lu Zhan is very proficient.
Just after twelve o'clock, the Qi Nourishing Pill was successfully baked.
Just like the first time, Lu Zhan first cleaned up the residue, and then carefully scraped off the black ointment covering the bottom of the casserole pot with a spoon.
Lu Zhan scraped very carefully, not letting go of even a little residue.
The black plaster and the white porcelain bowl show a classic black and white beauty under the light.
Lu Zhan scooped up a little ointment with a spoon and swallowed it in his mouth.
There was not much ointment, and Lu Zhan ate it in three times. After eating, I poured a glass of water and felt refreshed.
Opening the back door of the kitchen, Lu Zhan came to the courtyard, sat down cross-legged, settled down, and began to cultivate.
As yesterday, my body quickly warmed up and I was sweating all over.
Lu Zhan felt very comfortable, his whole body was warm, and he felt his breath wandering in his body.
The medicinal power is refined, and the breath that wanders through the body nourishes every organ of his body and cleans the body of toxins that have accumulated in the body.
In the dead of night, Lu Zhan finished his work.
Turning on his phone, Lu Zhan glanced at the time, today was half an hour faster than yesterday, and now it was just three o'clock in the morning.
Lu Zhan had a satisfied smile on his face.
The Qi Nourishing Pill assisted the cultivation of the "Health Preservation Formula", which not only improved his body, but also accelerated the cultivation speed, achieving twice the result with half the effort.
At this moment, Lu Zhan felt warm in his abdomen, and his whole body was very comfortable.
Lu Zhan got up from the ground, looked around, and realized that the little flower cat did not appear tonight.
The little flower cat is a bit greedy and will come over almost every night to beg for food.
When cooking for diners at night, Lu Zhan also deliberately left some delicious meals, just waiting for the little flower cat and the black cat uncle.
As a result, neither cat appeared. For this reason, Lu Zhan was a little melancholy.
Lu Zhan was about to go upstairs when he suddenly heard a familiar cat meow.
"Meow ......"
It was the cry of the black cat uncle, and it was extremely fierce, full of a desire to fight.
"Meow ......"
Immediately after, Lu Zhan heard the familiar meow of the little flower cat.
The little cat's cry was poignant and pitiful.
Is this being abused?
Lu Zhan decisively opened the courtyard door and came to the back alley.
Since Lu Zhan practiced the "Health Formula", his eyesight has recovered to before he went to high school.
In the dark part of the back alley, Lu Zhan clearly saw the black cat arching up, staring at the two teenagers in front of him fiercely.
The two teenagers were both thirteen or fourteen years old, one in white and the other in black, and they stood together at night as if they were black and white.
The cute and cute little flower cat was lying on the ground, and was trampled on its tail and right hind leg by a young man in white, looking at the black cat pitifully.
The black cat hunched over, jumped to its feet, and flew towards the white-clothed boy.
The black-clothed young man next to him raised the wine bottle in his hand and smashed it at the black cat.
If this is smashed, the black cat's half life will have to be explained here.
At the last moment, Lu Zhan rushed forward at an inhuman speed.
"Stop!"
Lu Zhan shouted, and at the same time, the small pebble in his hand hit the wrist of the black-clothed young man.
Lu Zhan did his best and tried to save the black cat, and threw out the stones.
Lu Zhan didn't report hope, but he didn't expect that the accuracy was excellent. The stone struck the young man in black on the wrist with unmistakable accuracy.
The young man in black let out an "oops", and the wine bottle fell to the ground.
The black cat took advantage of the situation to pounce on the young man in white and scratched six traces of the young man's clothes.
