One evening, Comrade Xu was cooking in the kitchen. The weather has been hot recently, and the whole lamb feast has been hard to sell. So about three months ago, he added about twenty home-cooked dishes to the menu in the store.
There are fish and meat, braised vegetables, stir-fries and various soups.
But the whole lamb feast has not been taken off the menu in his store.
Because although there are fewer people eating the whole lamb feast, there are still some people who order one or two dishes in the whole lamb feast.
He just changed the focus from barbecue + whole sheep feast to barbecue + home cooking.
Not to mention, the effect is pretty good.
As the weather gets warmer and the temperature gets higher, the barbecue business in his shop is getting better and better, and customers who order barbecue often get two home-cooked dishes or soups.
It is worth mentioning that after more than half a year of study and practice, Ge Lianghua has perfected his barbecue skills.
Comrade Xu basically left the barbecue job to Ge Lianghua.
His business here is considered to be on track.
Ge Lianghua is responsible for the barbecue, and Xi Dongyang is responsible for the cold dishes. When Xi Dongyang is not busy, he helps him prepare the dishes. When Xi Dongyang is busy, Comrade Xu prepares and cooks the dishes himself.
If his shop was an orthodox restaurant, he would prepare and cook it himself. With the current business situation of his shop, he would definitely be too busy.
Fortunately, his main specialty here is barbecue, and not many customers order other dishes. Xu Tongdao can still keep busy by himself.
At this time, he was cutting a portion of Mushu meat.
Xu Tonglin suddenly came to the kitchen and came to Xu Tongdao. He looked a little sneaky, hunched his neck and glanced back at the front hall. At the same time, he whispered: "Xiaodao, that Wu Yali is here again, here! This is her
What I just ordered!”
As he spoke, he placed a small handwritten menu next to Xu Tongdao's chopping board.
By the way, this is not the first time Wu Yali has eaten at their restaurant recently.
Since about three months ago, Wu Yali has been coming to their restaurant for dinner every now and then.
I don’t order many dishes each time, just two or three dishes. Sometimes I just order one dish and one soup, and then sit there and eat for more than an hour.
To be honest, her doing this has a little impact on the table turnover rate of their store, especially when business is good, some customers queue up to wait for a table, but Wu Yali occupies a table by herself and eats slowly, which does affect the turnover rate of their store.
Taking care of their store's business.
Xu Tonglin had already complained a lot.
But there is no way.
After all, when they open their doors for business, they can't drive customers away. They can't stop them from coming back just because they come to eat alone and take a little longer to eat, right?
What's more, when they set up a roadside stall last year, they also received electricity from Wu Yali's mother, Aunt Wang's newsstand for a period of time.
Yes! They paid the electricity bill every month, but after all, it was humane.
The most important thing... is that Comrade Xu had a relationship with Wu Yali. Although he never knocked on Wu Yali's window after he and Bu Yinghui got together, but...
As the saying goes: One day brings a hundred days of kindness to a couple.
Can Comrade Xu not miss his old feelings at all?
Moreover, Wu Yali has often come to their restaurant to eat in the past few months. Comrade Xu also knows the real purpose.
She is a drunkard who doesn't care about drinking. Her feelings have been expressed many times in the past few months, either explicitly or covertly.
Even Xu Tonglin and others could vaguely see this.
Otherwise, Xu Tonglin would not have gone out of his way to quietly report to Comrade Xu that Wu Yali was here again.
In the past three months or so, Wu Yali has entered Xu Tongdao's kitchen and called Xu Tongdao out. She even called Xu Tongdao to come over and have a drink with her when Xu Tongdao left the kitchen once.
On the surface, she regarded Comrade Xu as an acquaintance and friend.
But when she came to the kitchen to find Comrade Xu, she asked him in a low voice if he could help her fill up the liquefied gas.
Filled with liquefied gas...
If others don't know about this, how can he, Comrade Xu, not know what she means?
Another time, after dinner, she called Tongdao Xu outside the store. When she saw that no one was around, she asked him more straightforwardly.
Tongdao Xu remembered that night, she asked in a low voice: "Why haven't you looked for me for so long?"
Seeing that he didn't answer for a while, she added, "I'm divorced."
That night, Tongdao Xu sighed and told her, "I already have a girlfriend."
He asked himself that he was not a good person.
In the few months after he was reborn, he also thought about sleeping with a few more women in this life. It was also because of that thought that he had a relationship with Wu Yali.
But, maybe he’s not too scumbag at heart!
After spending time with Wu Yali for a long time, he gradually began to really like her and wanted to be with her for a long time.
However, he never expected that when they were together, she was not really widowed.
Her husband was not dead.
This made Comrade Xu refresh his understanding of her.
He didn't dare to think about staying with her for a long time. Later, when he saw Bu Yinghui, his thoughts gradually shifted to Bu Yinghui. From that time on, he never looked for Wu Yali again.
At that time, Wu Yali was probably also dealing with divorce matters. He didn't come to see her for several months, and she didn't come to see him either.
It was also during this period that his relationship with Bu Yinghui became better and more stable, and he went to the hotel to give her a bath more and more often.
He feels in love.
He was very satisfied.
As for Wu Yali... I don’t even want to continue to involve her.
Although he still misses the happy times with Wu Yali and her amorous feelings in bed, his reason tells him that he must cherish Bu Yinghui and not be too greedy.
It was with this thought that he bluntly told Wu Yali that he had a girlfriend.
He thought she would understand what he meant and that she would stop pestering him.
But the facts told him - he was wrong.
After that day, Wu Yali did not come to see him again for more than half a month, nor did she appear in his store again, but more than half a month later, she came again.
And since he was open for business, there was no way he could stop her from coming.
Just like tonight, she is here again, what can he do?
Xu Tongdao glanced at the menu Xu Tonglin had just placed next to his chopping board. Wu Yali had just ordered two dishes and one soup.
A dish of spicy and sour potato shreds, a dish of braised tofu with bream, and a dish of loofah and egg soup.
These are what she often orders.
"I know, go and do your work!"
Xu Tongdao responded calmly, tilted his head, and signaled Xu Tonglin to go out and do some work.
Before Xu Tonglin left, he looked at him with a strange expression.
Comrade Xu ignored him.
After he left, Comrade Xu let out a deep breath.
In fact, he also has a headache. He has seen Wu Yali's condition in the past three months. Her condition is obviously getting worse and worse, and she is getting more and more haggard. Every time she comes to his shop, she drinks more and more wine.
.
When he saw it, he felt somewhat uncomfortable in his heart.
