Chapter 15： lively

Because of one more person to help, Chen Xing's work is much easier, and the time for setting up a stall is also shortened a lot. Even after experiencing the initial discomfort, he quickly added some dishes to the stall without affecting the time to return home. Even guests who used to be late and would not be able to buy meals can now buy meals as long as they don't miss the time.

Boss Joe's restaurant.

The woman leaned behind the counter and looked at a few scattered customers in the store, her eyebrows were full of anger, and finally she couldn't help walking out from behind the counter and looked at the door. She wants to see if there are fewer people or what is going on. The number of guests here is getting fewer and fewer every day, and this month's income has dropped by nearly 40%. If this continues, she is afraid that she will not be able to maintain the restaurant.

It was a young man in his early twenties, with a slightly chubby figure and a rich dress. At this time, he was walking to the street with a face full of anticipation.

Boss Qiao deliberately shouted at him when he passed in front of him, "Master Fu!"

boss!"

Boss Qiao smiled at him and said softly, "It's just lunch time, why won't Master Fu come in for something to eat?"

Hearing this, Master Fu's expression froze, and then he said with a somewhat uncomfortable expression: "This, this, I have already eaten, so I won't go in today."

Boss Qiao looked at Mr. Fu's panicked expression, and felt that something was not right, and he was going to ask something more. "Boss Qiao, I have something to do, so I'll go first. I'll definitely come to eat next time when I'm free."

Boss Qiao stared at the back of Mr. Fu running away, frowned slowly, then thought of something, turned back to the store, and ordered the yawning little Er who was standing at the door Said: "Go to the end of the street to see if Mr. Fu is there."

Xiao Er heard this a little strange, but looking at the gloomy face of her boss, she didn't dare to ask more, and immediately went in the direction she designated.

The originally deserted end of the street, because of Chen Xing's small stall, now becomes extraordinarily lively when it comes to dinner.

.

Seeing this, Xiao Er's heart skipped a beat. He felt that if he told the news to his boss, his boss would definitely get angry on the spot.

Xiao Er looked worried for a while, then left quietly. On the way back, she was still worried about how to tell the boss so that she would not be angry with herself.

Chen Xing didn't know that he was being targeted again. At this time, while collecting the money, he told Qiu Jiu what the new guests wanted.

Fu Gongzi first took a look at the wooden barrel in which the vegetables were placed. After seeing that he still had his share, he first breathed a sigh of relief, and then took out the prepared money from his arms and directly He handed it to Chen Xing, "Little boss, I want a bean curd rice and a mapo tofu. By the way, I want to add meat to the chili."

While looking at Qiu Jiu to help him cook vegetables, Master Fu complained to Chen Xing: "Little boss, you have one more person to help now, why can't you do more? Things? I worry every day that I'm late from school and can't eat your food."

Hearing this, Chen Xing felt a little funny, and explained to him politely: "Sorry, but we really have no way to increase the amount of dishes now, we can only see if we can do it in the future. If our family can rent a shop in the future, I will definitely extend the business hours."

Fu Gongzi was a little dissatisfied, but he couldn't say anything, he could only mumble: "Then you have to hurry up! I also want to eat dinner with you in the future, you will eat it every day. It's really embarrassing to do just such a meal."

Chen Xing smiled, he really didn't know how to answer such words.

At this moment, Fu Gongzi put a folding fan on his shoulder, and then a young scholar who looked like a scholar appeared and said to Fu Gongzi: "Brother Fu, don't embarrass the little boss. You didn't eat less this meal, even if you only eat this meal a day, it won't hinder you!"

Fu Gongzi turned his head to look at the person who came, and seeing that it was someone he knew, he pouted a little unhappily, and said dissatisfiedly: "What do you know, the little boss's food is so delicious, I just thought Eat it every day."

Fu Gongzi did not continue arguing with him after he finished speaking, but angrily carried his plate to find a place to eat.

Fu Gongzi is behind the young man, Fu Gongzi left, he stood in front of Chen Xing, and said to Chen Xing: "Trouble little boss, today I want a bean flower rice, the pepper is still a little less ."

"Good!" Chen Xing swiftly followed his instructions and gave him a bowl of dipping water with less chili.

During Chen Xing's meal, the young man's eyes first fell on Chen Xing's slightly red face due to labor, and then on Qiu Jiu, who was cooking beside him, his eyes shone brightly He moved, and asked with some doubts, "Who is this?"

Hearing the sound, Chen Xing just wanted to tell him that this is his brother, but Qiu Jiu said first, "My son is Chen Xing's husband, and I am the son of the son."

The young man was obviously stunned for a moment, then looked at Chen Xing, who was a little embarrassed, with a bit of disbelief in his tone, "The little boss is actually married?"

Chen Xing didn't know how to answer, logically speaking, he was married, so he could only nod his head awkwardly, "Yes, it's just me, my husband is not in good health, no I come out often, so I don't mention it much."

The young man's face showed a bit of loss. After taking the bean curd rice handed over by Chen Xing, he went to find a place to sit down to eat.

Qiu Jiu looked at the disappointed young man, and then looked at Chen Xing, who was enthusiastically serving the next customer. I thought to myself, fortunately his son let him come, otherwise when they can't see it, I don't know how many people like this are spying on Chen Xing.

But soon, Qiu Jiu began to struggle again, should she tell the young master about this situation. Forget it, let's go back and talk about it!

Qiu Jiudao: "Let's go to the grocery store first."

Qiu Jiu has no objection to this, but is still a little curious, "What are you going to do in the grocery store?"

Chen Xing looked a little embarrassed, "I want to buy some red beans and glutinous rice, and go back to making red bean rice flour sponge cake, so that when Mr. Gu is hungry at home, he can eat a little to cushion his stomach, so as not to It's not good for the stomach to wait for us to go back to eat hungry all the time."

Listening to Chen Xing's calculations, Qiu Jiu finally couldn't help but ask: "Chen Xing, why are you so kind to my son?"

Chen Xing blushed and said hesitantly: "I think Mr. Gu is a good person, he is so difficult, he even took me in and lent me money to do business. Without his help , I may be wandering the streets now."

Seeing Chen Xing with a sincere face, Qiu Jiu suddenly felt a little guilty.

They went to the grocery store next door together, Qiu Jiu stood by the wheelbarrow outside the store, Chen Xing went in and explained to the shopkeeper what he wanted to buy.

Just as Chen Xing told the shopkeeper what he needed and how much of each, and the shopkeeper instructed the shopkeepers to weigh them, a loud gong sounded not far away.

Pedestrians on the street were attracted by the sound, and they all looked towards the place where the noise made He shouted: "The trusting family has been convicted, and the county magistrate ordered that if anyone has been bullied by his family, they can come to the yamen to seek justice. Anyone whose assets have been embezzled and can produce evidence, the county magistrate will uphold justice for you!"

The two of them beat the gong and walked along the street, and the people who heard what they said began to talk.

Chen Xing, who was still a little strange at first, stood at the counter waiting to weigh things, when he heard the shopkeeper inside the counter indignantly say: "Then Master Lai's family is not a thing, he used to fight The power in his hand has done so many things that hurt the heavens and the law, the new county magistrate is a good official, he will definitely eliminate the harm for the people, and Master Lai will definitely be beheaded!"

Hearing the shopkeeper gnashing his teeth, Chen Xing suddenly realized that the people the officials said were Lai Jiu and his family. He didn't expect them to be dealt with so soon, took the things he wanted to buy from the shopkeeper, and after paying the money, Chen Xing walked out in a trance.

Qiu Jiu looked at Chen Xing with a somewhat wrong expression, a little puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Chen Xing stared at the backs of the two officials and said what he had heard, "The county magistrate's methods are really a bit resolute, Master Lai's family will be punished so soon already."

Qiu Jiu smiled and said indifferently where Chen Xing hadn't seen: "Maybe it's because he did a lot of bad things in the past, and everyone was expecting him to die, so he handled it like that. Hurry up. Maybe when their family is executed, the county will be more lively, and there may be people cheering and celebrating."

Chen Xing always felt a little strange when he heard Qiu Jiu say this, and when he turned to look at Qiu Jiu and saw the same hearty smile as before, he thought he was over-hearted, " Let's go back, Young Master Gu is waiting for us to go back to eat."

Qiu Jiu looked at him, smiled and nodded.
