Chapter 14: chicken soup

The little Er got the order of Boss Qiao, ran out without saying a word, and asked the boy from the Sun family who was still loudly promoting, and then ran to Granny Sun to ask about Chen Xing Come.

When I asked about the information that Boss Qiao wanted to know, Xiao Er returned to the store with a dazed expression, looked at the boss who was waiting for him to report, and hesitated: "Boss, I just inquired Clear."

Boss Qiao was already angry because of the poor business in the store. Seeing Xiao Er is still so hesitant, he suddenly became angry, "If you have anything to say, say it!"

Little Er was yelled at by her and didn't dare to answer back, she could only tell all the news he had inquired, "That kid in the Sun family is promoting a new place to sell food to that brother, And the little brother who sold Mapo tofu, not only did he not get arrested that day, but he rented the stall at the end of the street from the Lai family from the official."

The next second he finished speaking, a harsh female voice sounded in the store,

"What?!!"

Boss Qiao stared at the shop assistant in disbelief, obviously unable to accept the answer here.

Xiao Er shrank his neck and whispered, "I don't believe it either, but that's what the dead old woman said."

Boss Qiao glared angrily at Granny Sun's wonton stand, then turned to the terrified little Er next to him: "You look good on the store, I'll go out."

After finishing speaking, Boss Joe walked towards the end of the street with fierce steps.

Looking at the direction of the boss, the little Er, who could probably guess what he was going to do, shook his head helplessly and sighed: "He is just a little brother without relatives and no reason, the boss is this Why is it necessary?"

Boss Qiao found Chen Xing's current booth smoothly along the street, not because she has good eyes, but because Chen Xing's booth is too obvious.

As the owner of this stall, Chen Xing was standing in front of the stove to serve dishes to the new customers, and there was a long queue in front of him.

What made Boss Qiao feel a little unbelievable was that there were actually a few yamen in the queue. Looking at those yamen who were arrogant and showed off their might to the people on weekdays, they now look like a Ordinary people are obediently queuing up, and even take the initiative to help maintain order, her eyes are about to pop out.

Nameless jealousy breeds in Boss Qiao's heart, but she knows she can't do anything, so she watched Chen Xing for a long time, and when Chen Xing was almost busy, she turned back to her little boy Go to the restaurant.

Chen Xing knew nothing about the arrival of Boss Qiao. He didn't even know this person, and naturally he didn't want to care about things that had nothing to do with him.

After the busiest time, Chen Xing had a little time to breathe. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and handed the last bowl of Mapo tofu to the woman in front of him.

The woman is also an old customer, and can have a few words with Chen Xing on weekdays, she took the meal she bought, looked at Chen Xing and asked with some doubts: "I When I was lining up just now, I saw a woman staring at you, the little boss, is that someone from your family?"

Chen Xing's first reaction was that Grandma Sun came to him, and asked, "Is it an elderly mother-in-law?"

The woman shook her head, recalled, and said, "No, she is a very young and beautiful woman."

Chen Xing thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Then maybe it was a passerby who happened to look at me a few more times. I don't know any young women."

After he came here, except for the Chen family who had met once, the rest were men, so why would there be women staring at him? Chen Xing was slightly puzzled, and then left it behind.

Although it was a busy day, things were sold very fast. It only took Chen Xing two hours to sell out all the dishes.

Chen Xing has always been late and didn't buy anything. At this time, some complaining customers apologized and just put away their things and went back.

When Chen Xing returned to Gu Mansion, it was past the time for dinner in the mansion. He ate something at will, packed his kitchen utensils, and then went back to his room and took out a small bag to collect money. The box, poured out all the coins, and piled up a hill on the table.

Chen Xing looked at today's harvest with bright eyes. After counting, he found that today's harvest turned out to be three times his income from selling Mapo tofu in the past.

Chen Xing figured that maybe in a few months, he would be able to save enough money to open a shop, and then he would rent another shop, hire a chef, and two running the hall. He not only has an extra income, but also can quickly repay Gu Lang's money.

Chen Xing, who thought very beautifully, put the money back in the small box, took another look at the sky outside, and found that it was still early and decided to go to sleep first, and then go to sleep after waking up I went to the vegetable market and told the boss that I would order more soy milk tomorrow, and by the way, I bought a chicken and stewed it for Gu Lang to replenish his body.

So, when they were having dinner in the evening, Gu Lang and Qiu Jiu discovered that they had a chicken soup with their dishes today.

Looking at the chicken soup with red dates floating in it, Gu Lang silently looked at Chen Xing, there is no need to guess who bought this chicken.

Chen Xing saw Gu Lang looking at chicken soup and then looking at himself, thinking he wanted to eat but was too embarrassed to do it, so he reached out and took his bowl, filled him with a bowl of chicken soup without oil, specially He also caught two more red dates for him.

Chen Xing handed the chicken soup to Gu Lang, while watching him ramble: "Gu Gongzi is not in good health, it is necessary to strengthen nutrition. I recently made some money, expensive tonics I can't afford it, so I can only buy these cheap things. You can eat it first, and when I make some extra money, I can buy nourishing medicine."

Can't afford it at all.

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's worried look, but his pale face was stained with a bit of a smile. He reached out and took the bowl that Chen Xing handed over, and his cool fingertips touched Chen Xing's warmth Looking at Chen Xing's blushing face, he said softly, "Thank you!"

Gu Lang's fingers were very cold, but Chen Xing felt scalded the moment he touched it. No, no thanks, these can only be deducted for a small amount of food expenses."

Qiu Jiu, who had been eating silently beside him, glanced at his son, and saw that he took the chicken soup handed over by Chen Xing with a normal expression. If he buys supplements, and then thinks that a random pair of medicines in the medicine jar is worth a lot of money, he suddenly feels a little guilty for no reason.

The little episode that appeared just now caused a brief silence on the dining table, with only the occasional sound of picking vegetables.

In this silence, Gu Lang suddenly asked casually, "You sell so many things every day, are you busy?"

Chen Xing, who was still immersed in eating, didn't react for a while when he heard Gu Lang's words, and after he reacted, he quickly responded: "I don't have many things there, except When there are a lot of people, you can be busy at the rest of the time, except for your hands and feet."

Seeing Chen Xing's energetic look, Gu Lang tapped his finger on the table lightly twice, as if he was thinking about something, and continued to ask: "Have you thought too much? Sell ​​something and make more money?"

Although I don't know why Gu Lang asked this way, Chen Xing honestly expressed his thoughts, he shook his head and said, "The customers I need are almost fixed now. .If you increase the quantity rashly, not only will there be a lot left, but it may also prolong the time for me to set up a stall, and it is even more likely that the remaining ones will not be sold. So forget it, when I have a larger site, I will Consider increasing the variety of foods you eat."

Gu Lang nodded when he heard the words, "That's right, saving some money to rent a shop is more convenient than going to the booth."

After Gu Lang finished speaking, he glanced at Qiu Jiu, who had been eating silently since he served the table, then turned his head to stare at Chen Xing and said, "In that case, I will let Qiu Jiu go. Do you a favor, so that you can have more people when you are busy, and you can come back sooner."

When Chen Xing heard Gu Lang say this, he waved his hand quickly and refused, "No, no, I can do it myself."

Qiu Jiu is very happy to help Chen Xing, he sees that Chen Xing does not carry too many things every day, and it is much easier than the original training. It's not a sport.

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing who had been refusing, his tone was gentle but with an unquestionable command, "You and Qiu Jiu don't have anything to do at home, why don't you help me? You can come back early to make lunch."

Hearing this, Chen Xing was stunned for a moment. They ate three meals in Gu’s house, and the people outside ate two meals, so there was still a time difference in between, so If he sells fast, he can come back sooner. Taking into account Gu Lang's body, he felt that it was not impossible to come back early to cook.

Seeing Chen Xing hesitate, Gu Lang didn't give him a chance to go back, stood up slowly from his seat, and said arbitrarily: "Okay, it's settled like this, from tomorrow Qiu Nine will follow you to the stall."

Before Chen Xing had time to react, he only saw the back of Gu Lang left for him, and at the same time heard the excited voice of Qiu Jiu next to him, "Chen Xing, I will go to sell things with you tomorrow. what!"

Chen Xing turned his head to look at Qiu Jiu's juvenile face, was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "Okay, I have worked hard for you today, and I will also prepare wages for you. Yes." He couldn't take advantage of him in vain.

Qiu Jiugang wanted to ask Chen Xing what the salary was when he saw Chen Xing's face worried and walked back without saying a word, mumbling how much he should be paid.

Staring at Chen Xing's worried back, Qiu Jiu scratched his head, wondering whether to tell the young master about this. After all, he does not lack this money, but Chen Xing lacks!
