Chapter 1: Strange Phone Calls
Suo Xin nested alone in the sofa, yawning and swiping his mobile phone, looking up from time to time to look at the clock on the wall, it was already nine o'clock, why didn't the guests at the last table leave?
"Hah... Ha Qiu! She put down her phone, picked up the small blanket next to her and covered her body, and stared out the window with her eyes motionless.
Today's weather is exceptionally cold, gloomy, and always gives people a feeling that it is going to snow, but this is obviously just October!
"Beauty, check out." A middle-aged greasy man with a shy belly walked to the bar and shouted loudly with disdain.
Suo Xin got up instantly, raised his eyes to look at the pot-bellied man, and didn't have any extra words, and replied directly: "Ten yuan for a plate of cold vegetables, one hundred and ninety-eight for a bottle of wine, a total of two hundred and eight, and the other dishes have already been settled." β
The pot-bellied man saw that it was a girl standing up at the bar, nodded a little stunned, took out his mobile phone, scanned the code to pay directly, and then politely asked: "Is it convenient to call a substitute driver here?" β
"Convenient." Suo Xin replied.
The pot-bellied man looked at Suo Xin, who was expressionless, and was surprised, why did this woman look cold? Completely ignoring the feelings of the guests, no wonder business here is not good, opening a restaurant, not even smiling, so who wants to come?!
Suo Xin stood at the bar, watching a group of people leave with an expressionless face, without any waves in his eyes. Turning around and walking to the private room, while cleaning up the remnants on the table, he stared at the phone on the bar, and sighed slightly, it seems that there will be no calls today.
It stands to reason that if people don't call, she should be happy! Because of this, she can make a net profit again, but in her heart, she is always unsteady. While thinking about how to solve this problem, he quickly locked the fence at the gate.
"Bang dang... Bang Dangγγγγγγ Suo Xin used all his strength to pull the rolling shutter door, but he still couldn't pull the door down, so he could only give up helplessly, and then tilted his head and looked at the rolling shutter door silently panting, planning to try again in a while.
Many years ago, she was also one of them, in order to be able to sit on the last train, running all the way, at that time was still young, and always felt that the strength was inexhaustible. Look at it now, every time I go out to buy ingredients, I am out of breath.
Since it can't be closed, then simply don't close it. Suo Xin entered the house, took the cake in the refrigerator to the stone table at the door, and then sat down silently, lit the candle, closed his eyes, folded his hands, and slowly spit out a few words in his mouth.
"Happy Birthday!" Then he opened his eyes, blew out the candles in one go, raised his knife and ate the cake in his mouth.
As if because of eating the cake, she became stronger, and immediately pulled the roller shutter door down, and before locking the door, she still glanced at the phone at the bar.
Suo Xin lay quietly on the bed, his eyes were empty, but his mind was still racing, what the hell was going to do to find that strange guest?!
Half a year ago
"Didiγγγγγγ" The phone kept ringing.
Suo Xin hurriedly ran from the back kitchen to the bar, and before he had time to find a towel, he wiped his hands directly with his apron, picked up the phone and answered directly: "Hello, one-person restaurant." β
"A braised pork, a sweet and sour pork ribs, a boiling fish, a rice, the time has not been determined, wait for me to inform."
"Do you know the rules of a one-person restaurant?" Although Suo Xin was strange in his heart, he still didn't ask much, most of the people who usually order food use APP, why did he suddenly order food on the phone today?
However, life is forced to compromise, after all, her business is not very good, so no matter what kind of guests, she still has to receive them.
"Yes, give me a payment account number."
Suo Xin frowned slightly, but still gave his mobile phone number to the other party and told him that the mobile phone number could be transferred directly.
"Doodoo γγγγγγ" The phone hung up. Suo Xin looked at the phone, his face was full of doubts, and he hung up before he said how much it was?! Could it be a mistake?!
Although there have been elderly people who would use the phone to order food before, they finally gave up because of the trouble. The person just now should be a young person, right, although his voice is a little lower, but he will never be an old man, won't he use the APP?
Hey, forget it, maybe it's a prank! It's not like I haven't encountered it before. She thought as she opened tomorrow's list.
"Ding γγγγγγ"
Suo Xin picked up his phone and looked at Alipay's prompt message, huh?! Payouts? Is it the cost of the order just now? She picked up the calculator and clicked it a few times, then turned on her phone and clicked, uh! It's just right, that is, the guests on the phone know the price of the dishes!
But in addition to the menu in the store, it is only in the APP, and he is a person who can use the APP, so why doesn't he just use the APP to order?! Wouldn't that be more concise and convenient?!
The 'one-person restaurant' has been open for more than half a year, and it is the first time I have encountered such a guest, Suo Xin shook his head a little helplessly, but he still picked up the phone and called back.
"Hello, the phone you are calling is turned offγγγγγγ"
Suo Xin looked at the phone receiver and said with a wry smile: "Did you forget to charge?" Then he slowly hung up. I listened to the recording, but after listening to the recording, there was still no time to determine, and most guests booked one or two days in advance. Since this guest didn't say it, let's prepare in advance, after all, the money has already been collected.
The next day, Suo Xin prepared everything, and then kept thinking about the strange guest, but until the door closed in the evening, the strange guest did not call again.
On the third day, Suo Xin still bought fresh ingredients in a regular manner, and the previous one had been put into the freezer layer of the refrigerator. But what made Suo Xin puzzled was that the strange guest still didn't call again.
On the fourth day, Suo Xin didn't buy any more ingredients, and still called back, but the phone was still turned off. Suo Xin felt that this strange guest might have been delayed by something, so he put the ingredients in the freezer again.
She looked at the ingredients in the refrigerator, her face was cold, there were so many things, she was afraid that she would not be able to eat them all at once, so what should I do? Can't waste it, can it?! I have no choice but to arrange some specials, I hope someone will like it.
"Didiγγγγγγ" The phone rang.
Suo Xin picked up the phone casually, "Hello, one-person restaurant." β
"A portion of braised pork, a portion of sweet and sour pork ribs, a portion of boiling fish, and a portion of rice, if you don't notify the arrival time before closing, you don't need to prepare."
Suo Xin heard the voice on the phone, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it was only for a moment, and when the other party's voice just fell, he continued: "Hello, sirγγγγγγγ β
Before she could finish her words, she was "doodledγγγγγγ The voice interrupted, she held the phone receiver, and before she could react, the phone tone rang again. For new information, please pay attention to check it. β
Suo Xin picked up the mobile phone casually, looked at the collection information on the screen, and wrote down the ingredients seriously in the notebook. Hopefully, this time, I can meet this strange guest.
