He didn't leave. He circled around and sat in the gap between the drink and the wall. He stared at the ceiling of the restaurant, his eyes starting to wander.
Is this person seriously ill?
He sat there all afternoon, not eating, drinking or talking, and looked strange.
As I was watching, an old man with a red nose appeared in front of the counter and asked me with a smile: "Little boss, is there still a seat?"
I noticed that he was the uncle who recognized Uncle Han who posted the missing person notice.
I stood up immediately and looked around. It happened that the people at table No. 4 were leaving: "Uncle, can you wait a moment? The people at table No. 4 will leave soon."
"Hey, okay, I still want the third one." The red-nosed uncle walked over with a smile.
I was a little anxious because the uncle didn't ask for reward from Uncle Han last time. He said he hoped to give me a dish next time he came, and the second uncle agreed.
But the second uncle and the uncle Wang are both sweating profusely and their feet are not touching the ground. What should we do?
do not care.
I ran to the kitchen, where Uncle Zhou was sweating all over his body, waving the big shovel vigorously, and the fire in the big iron pot was sizzling.
"Hey, Nuan Ting, why did you come to the kitchen? Go out quickly and don't touch you."
I rubbed my nose: "Uncle Zhou, the red-nosed uncle is here. He said he wanted to be like the third child. Last time, the second uncle agreed to give him a favor."
"Hey, come on, it'll be fine in a while." Uncle Zhou turned to me and almost burst into laughter, "Nuan Ting is a bit like a little boss."
I knew Uncle Zhou was teasing me, but I immediately blushed and ran back shyly.
I ran back to the counter, but before I could pick up my green tea, another kind aunt came over: "Little boss, can you pay the bill?"
"Ah?" I was stunned, I couldn't do math!
Just as I was about to call my second uncle, he was standing in front of the table at the door. While taking orders, he turned around and shouted to me: "Girl Yun, please pay the bill for the guests."
I……
I haven’t even finished the first grade of elementary school! Isn’t my second uncle afraid that I will lose money if I miscalculate?
I called my second uncle a few more times, but he didn't have time to answer me. I could only look for today's diary in a hurry.
I held the notebook and felt my hands tremble a little: "Auntie, what's your table number?"
"Number two."
"Oh." I started flipping in a panic again, so nervous that I didn't know what to do with my hands.
Fortunately, the uncle next to this aunt comforted me: "Don't worry, take your time, we are not in a hurry."
"Oh, okay." I finally found the dishes on table No. 2, and my head was sweating. "Peanuts are five and six yuan, and egg rice bowl is four and two yuan. A total of... a total of..."
I counted on my fingers, but I really couldn't understand it, so I ended up using scratch paper.
The uncle and aunt were standing in front of the counter, giggling, which made me laugh even harder.
After finally calculating it, the total was ninety-eight yuan. My aunt gave me ten yuan, but there was no change in the counter.
I bit the bullet and said, "Auntie, I don't have any change. Can I give you two candies?"
"Okay." The aunt laughed even harder and kept telling the uncle next to her that it was quite fun to see children check out for the first time.
I didn't know what to do with my arms and legs, so I gave my aunt two candies and they slapped my head hard twice.
When they finally let me go, I felt like all my strength was gone.
Before I could take a rest, a few more uncles came over to check with me, and then I was strangely involved in the busy crowd.
"Little boss, settle the bill here."
"okay!"
"Little boss, where is my wine?"
"immediately!"
"Little boss, give me another spicy stir-fried beef brisket."
"remembered!"
Help, they don’t have so many needs at all, they just think I’m a kid and think it’s fun! Just teasing me!
When Lulu and the others came back from school and entered the house, they saw this scene, and Lulu's eyes went straight.
"Emma Nuanting, wait for me!"
Without saying a word, Lulu dropped her backpack, grabbed Fang Zhongyu and Huang Chenxi and reached out to help. With them clearing the table and helping deliver wine and napkins, I could finally rest.
But for some reason, there are more and more people in the restaurant, so many people are queuing up outside, and some who don’t know what happened are queuing up to come in and see the excitement...
It's already dark today, and we haven't gone to see Han Ziqi yet.
I was as tired as a dead dog, and the gauze on my face was soaked with sweat. As soon as I returned to the counter, I found my second uncle squatting comfortably under the counter, crossing his legs leisurely, using my glass in a leisurely manner.
Cup, drinking my tea.
"...Second uncle!"
"Pfft--" The second uncle squirted out a sip of tea, hurriedly wiped the water on his chin, and said with a smile, "Oh, this guy won't have much strength when he gets old, so the second uncle will go get busy now."
I looked at my second uncle's back with resentment as he rushed out. I could finally sit down on the chair.
Fortunately, green tea tastes good even when it's cold, and the chrysanthemums still have a different kind of sweetness after they've cooled down.
I sighed comfortably.
In the peripheral vision, a black figure walked crookedly toward the door.
I turned around and saw that it was the landlord. He had been sitting here all afternoon. My second uncle was about to get off work and he still left. What was this?
Hey, I don't care about other people, I'd better take a good rest.
"Little boss, check out."
"...Come on!"
The restaurant was open until nine o'clock today, and there was still an endless stream of people outside. Finally, the second uncle went out to apologize and distributed handwritten numbers to everyone. You must have the number to enter tomorrow.
After cleaning up the restaurant, everyone was exhausted.
Aunt Duan came to take us to the hospital and delivered meals to Han Ziqi, his parents, and Uncle Huang and Aunt Huang.
"What's going on? Why are there so many people in the restaurant today?" Aunt Duan asked while looking at the road ahead.
The second uncle smiled and was in a great mood: "Today the warm court is settling the bill, the guests have something fresh to do."
Aunt Duan burst into laughter: "I think it's good. From now on, Xiaoyu will come to help after he finishes his homework, so that he won't use all his energy and get into trouble for me."
I mourned for Fang Zhongyu, who had fallen asleep from exhaustion.
"Second brother, don't think I'm too talkative. My dad started his business. I was influenced by it when I was a kid. You can only enter your restaurant by issuing a reservation today. I think it's pretty good. It's more like a membership system. Guests, relatives and friends
Once we publicize it, the restaurant may become bigger and stronger in the future.”
"This is a good idea. Girl Yun and Lulu will not necessarily go to college in the future. I have to save some money so that I can take care of them in the future."
My second uncle is really thinking long-term. We haven’t even entered elementary school yet and he has already started planning for us to go to college.
"There is no business just having savings. Raising a child is an investment. What your child will achieve in the future depends on how much you invest."
The second uncle nodded, dragged his chin and began to lose himself in thought.
