The old lady's question made Cai Gen stunned. His wife's words in the morning seemed to be still in his ears. He had clearly agreed that no one would ask for help, but in the end, he was looking for trouble for nothing, right? His wife would definitely be furious if she knew it.
.
Now the old lady asked me to bear the burden, what can I do? I am a small commoner, I need money but no money, I need no one, I run a small shabby shop, and live a miserable life. I don’t even have 100 yuan to make a living these days.
Not even 100 yuan.
It’s hard for me to bear the burden of my own life, so why should I bear the burden for others?
However, the old lady's words attracted Xie An'an and Xiao Qi. What did the expectant looks on their faces mean? It was as if they had won a prize if I nodded.
Xiao Sun also came to the front hall from the back kitchen, pretending to clean the table, but he kept his ears open, waiting to hear Cai Gen say, "I'm responsible, I'm fully responsible. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility."
Cai Gen finally regained his composure, lit a cigarette and changed the subject, regardless of everyone's expected gazes.
"Auntie, it's cold outside. There's no rush to find them. No one can escape. Tell me, if you borrow some money, how did it get to this point? You have to go to a mental hospital if you have to live or die?"
Although there was no sound, everyone seemed to sigh in disappointment and continued to pay attention casually.
Xie An'an was standing at the door. Cai Gen didn't agree. The old lady couldn't leave either. Let's talk about it. Since she died, the old lady also wanted to find someone to talk to.
Just as he was about to speak, a burst of music sounded,
"You have a new takeout order, please process it immediately. You have a new takeout order, please process it immediately."
Cai Gen smiled apologetically at the old lady,
"Auntie, we'll talk about it later. I'm going to take orders first and come to work."
After saying that, he ran to the computer, but Xiao Sun was faster than Cai Gen. He took the order skillfully, printed out the receipt, and handed it to Cai Gen.
Okay, he is indeed an experienced delivery rider. Cai Gen is so happy.
Sunshine View Area A, Building 14, Intermediate Unit, Room 705, Access Control 8888
3 Taiwanese braised pork, 24 beers.
Isn't this the Wang Sijia? The address hasn't been changed yet, so it's better to have it at my own store. If it were someone else, it would have been delivered to the wrong person.
I looked at the quartz clock and saw that it wasn't even 8 o'clock yet. The supermarkets were all open. Why were they allowing takeout?
Seventh floor, this guy is too lazy, it must be because he is too lazy.
Let Xiaosun go? He came from out of town, and it was dark, so it would be difficult to find him. Today is the first day, so let’s get familiar with him first.
I took Xiao Sun to the kitchen and showed him the cooking process. In 10 minutes, three portions of rice were ready.
Xiao Sun was getting dressed and was going to go, but was stopped by Cai Gen.
"This store is not easy to find. I've been there before. You'd better look at the store. If you have a customer, follow the same process as before for everything you order."
Hearing what Cai Gen said, Xiao Sun was very embarrassed.
"Third uncle, I'm already here, and I asked you to deliver the food. How can I be embarrassed?"
Then the two of them looked at Xie An'an at the same time. Should he be allowed to go? With a puff of black smoke, he was sent to the place. It was very convenient and fast.
Xie An'an looked a little unnaturally at Cai Gen and the other two's hot gazes. Do they want me to deliver the food?
I am a dignified senior clerk in the underworld. Should I go to deliver food? The underworld has been embarrassed by me, so there is no way I can go. Then he said diligently,
"Master Cai, how about I go? I will definitely deliver it quickly."
This is not good, the old lady is still in the house, we can't let her go, it would be like carrying a sheep, wolf, and grass across the river. Cai Gen started to think about it, and concluded that he had to go by himself.
I made up my mind, put on my coat, took the takeout bag, and a box of beer between my legs, and went out.
Seeing that Cai Gen was very determined, Xiao Sun didn't stop him anymore. The store also needed people to keep an eye on it. They used to lock the door, but now it's better. Even if they have takeout, they can continue to operate.
As soon as he got on the electric scooter, Cai Gen ran towards the sunny neighborhood. He had too many things on his mind and didn't care whether it was dark or not.
15 minutes later, when we arrived at the gate of the community, the little security guard was still playing games inside. Cai Gen didn't even stop and rode directly into the community. There was no other way to drive last time, so the flexibility of the battery car came into play, but it was a little cold.
.
I arrived at Building 14, went to Unit 3, climbed to the 7th floor, looked at the house number 707, and started knocking on the door.
I've been knocking for a long time, but no one has opened the door. What's going on?
That's right. It's not Unit 2 705, it's 707.
I took out my phone and called according to the receipt. It rang for a long time but no one answered.
There was also a phone ringing from the door of 707.
When I was about to hang up, the phone was finally picked up.
There was no word from the person on the other side, just heavy breathing.
Cai Gen was a little worried. Is it so mysterious to deliver a meal?
Tentatively, he gave a "feed" sound, and then a small voice came from the other side,
"Who are you?"
Who am I? Cai Gen began to think about this profound question. Without understanding the philosophical issue between self and id, who can know who he is?
"I'm delivering food. I'm at the door of 707. Didn't you order food?"
The person on the other side still said in a low voice,
"I ordered it. You press the password on the fingerprint lock, 518888, and enter the house directly. It's not convenient for me to open the door."
This request is not too excessive, but Cai Gen has not been fooled by this high technology. He pressed it several times, but there was no response. Later, he added a pound sign after the password, and the fingerprint lock made a sound of opening.
Cai Gen gently opened the door and pushed open the entrance door. The hall was brightly lit, clean and tidy, but there was no one there.
"Where's the food delivery guy?"
Cai Gen shouted loudly, "Are you trying to hide and seek? It's really annoying."
A voice came from a small door,
"Don't shout, come on, I'm here."
I walked to the small door, held the door handle, and pulled it open. Inside was a bathroom. A man was wearing a down jacket, sweating profusely, sitting on the toilet lid, holding a mobile phone, and he was in a trance.
There are some lunch boxes, wine bottles and other garbage on the ground.
Cai Gen knew this person. He was Wang Si who didn't pay for the drinks in the store. The scratches on his face were still there and he was mentally unstable.
"Young man, your three meals and a box of beer total 117. Last time you were in my store, you didn't give me 6 yuan of beer, so the total is 123. Last time you gave me 13 yuan more, so just give me 110 this time.
"
Wang Si then looked at Cai Gen, his eyes brightened, and he recognized him immediately.
"Uncle, are you the boss of Anxin Bento?"
Putting down his beer and lunch box, Cai Gen nodded and began to think a lot of curiosity. This look was obviously not normal.
"Is it just you at home? No one else? Why are you hiding in the toilet?"
This sentence of "no one else" touched Wang Si's nerves. He looked at the door in horror and asked Cai Gen cautiously.
"Uncle, is there anyone in the living room?"
What kind of problem is this? There was no one there just now. It was very clean. Cai Gen looked back at the living room and said with certainty,
"Boy, there's no one in the living room, the total is 110 yuan."
Such an answer made Wang Si feel relieved. He took out 200 yuan and handed it to Cai Gen.
"Uncle, there's no need for change. Please stay with me for a while, okay?"
If you give me an extra 90 yuan, who do you think I am? Is it a big deal if you give me money? Do you accept any business if you give me money? Cai Gen's mentality started to get bad.
