My Exclusive Dream World Adventures Chapter 111: I invite you to dinner
"Uh."
Yanqing feels a little regretful. He really feels that Chen Xu opened a noodle restaurant here and was a bit buried. By the way, I also want to make some investments. Unexpectedly, the other side had this attitude.
Chen Xu glanced at him and said, "Actually, I haven't thought of doing this for a long time. After the Chinese New Year, I might change careers."
"Isn't it?" Yanqing was taken aback and said, "No, if you don't do it, where shall we go for supper?"
"This is indeed a problem."
Chen Xu said, his hands kept moving, and he made another bowl.
Yanqing waited for a long time, but did not wait for the second half of his sentence. When he made the third bowl, he couldn't help asking, "What about then?"
Chen Xu glanced at him in surprise and said, "This is not my problem."
"……"
Yanqing felt a little heartbroken, and said quietly, "I finally know why your sister is going home."
…………
Tomorrow is the weekend, and there are more customers. Chen Xu closed the stall earlier than usual. After calculating today's turnover, the total is 895 yuan.
He was very happy, and after removing the cost, the profit was at least 600 or so. They all said that the catering profit is high, and it is true. Learning cooking from 2003 is really a wise choice.
If you can maintain this passenger flow every day, you can make a net profit of about 30,000 yuan when you go home during the Spring Festival, which can greatly ease the financial pressure on your family.
Since this week, many regular customers have brought friends over, and the customer base is growing steadily. Especially after Chen Xu allowed customers to buy barbecue from the barbecue stall next to him, more customers came.
He pulled the rolling gate and returned to the rented house.
Early the next morning, he went to the morning exercise again.
I have been staying in a hotel for three days, and I went to the gym for a run in the morning.
half a month of exercise has greatly improved his physical strength, and he can run for 40 minutes at most in one breath. It's not a normal jogging, but a slightly faster speed.
By this time, his progress has also slowed down, without the feeling of leaps and bounds before.
He is not disappointed, this is normal. If he progresses endlessly, he will soon become a superman, which is too magical.
He has already considered that in the summer, when the economic conditions are better, he goes swimming every day. It is said that the effect of exercise is better and it does not hurt the knees.
At seven o'clock, he finished the morning exercise, wiped off his sweat with a towel, and walked in the direction of the rental house.
He came to the alley habitually. The weather is good today. The thick dark clouds have disappeared and it is rare to see the sun.
Walking in the alley, the oblique sunlight is blocked by the surrounding tall buildings, only occasionally leaks out from the gap between the tall buildings, and it shines on the wall of the house, forming a golden light spot.
Chen Xu saw the girl squatting in front of the telephone pole. He was a little surprised. Today is Sunday, the first semester of high school, so it shouldn’t be enough to make up classes on Sunday.
Today she is not carrying a schoolbag, but a smaller backpack.
As usual, he walked over without disturbing her.
The girl noticed someone passing behind her, turned her head, stared at his back for two seconds, took off her earphones, stood up, and ran after her.
Chen Xu watched her emerge from behind, and stopped in surprise. But seeing her staring at him for a few seconds, he saw that he wondered if there was something dirty on his face.
The girl finally retracted her gaze, put down the small backpack behind her back, unzipped, took out a bag, "Return it to you."
"What?"
He was puzzled at first, then took a look, there was a thin blue coat in the bag, and then he remembered the one he put on her last time.
He has been busy these days and has forgotten about it.
The coat was obviously washed, and it was neatly folded, and there was a thinner bag inside.
"And this one."
The girl took out a one-dollar bill from her pocket again.
Chen Xu saw her look serious, and swallowed the polite words that came to her lips, took the folded pair of yuan, and said, "You still remember."
"Thank you."
The girl carried her schoolbag behind her and said, "I'll invite you to dinner."
Chen Xu smiled, "No, it's all trivial."
The girl shook her head and said, “I don’t want to owe favors to others.” Then, she took out a small wallet from her pocket, unzipped, and pulled out a piece of twenty yuan, and said, “I only have so much. Can I invite you to breakfast, can rice rolls work?"
"Really don't need--" Chen Xu said, seeing the light in her eyes dimmed, lowered her head, folded the money again, and put it back in her wallet, a throb in her heart.
He remembered that when he was in middle school, his parents were out of town, and they only had a small amount of pocket money each month, so breakfast was gone. On weekends, I didn't even dare to play basketball with my classmates, because there was no money for drinks.
He doesn't want his classmates to look down upon him. He prefers to be alone and doesn't take part in activities in the class much.
The girl's eyes flashed by just now, it made him seem to see himself at the time. She was shy in her pocket, and finally got up courageously and wanted to show her kindness. It would be very hurt to be rejected by others.
He said, "One bowl may not be enough. I have a big appetite, so I have to eat at least two bowls."
The girl raised her head, her face was slightly startled, and then she showed a smile, "Okay."
…………
That breakfast shop is on the side of the road, not far from the elementary school. Breakfast shops like this open next to the elementary school are usually very lively, especially before the students go to school.
Today is the weekend, and there are fewer people, unlike usual crowds. There are still a few empty tables inside.
Chen Xu used to occupy a table, and the girl went to buy breakfast.
After a while~IndoMTL.com~ she came over with three portions of rice rolls, two portions of egg rolls and one portion of pork rolls, all covered with sauce, almost overflowing the edge of the plate.
"Do you know this boss?" Chen Xu asked curiously.
When Chen Ziqi lived here, she had to eat rice rolls in the morning. He always came here to pack, but the serving size was not that much. He also saw the girl say a few words to the boss just now.
"I used to go to elementary school there." The girl pointed to the entrance of the elementary school opposite, "At that time, I came here to eat every day."
"No wonder."
Chen Xu tore a pair of chopsticks and began to eat.
He was indeed hungry, and soon he ate up two plates of rice rolls. I took a tissue, wiped her mouth, and saw that she had just eaten half of the plate.
The girl put down her chopsticks and said, "Are you not full, or else, would you like another one?"
Chen Xu shook his head, "No, just fine, eating too much in the morning is not good for the stomach."
The girl didn't insist, and continued to eat.
Chen Xuguang was sitting, feeling a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, she didn't wear school uniform today. Even so, he still felt that the gazes cast around him were a little weird.
She is still a middle school student.
He said to himself in his heart, pretending to observe the decoration of the shop, his eyes swept across the ceiling and walls.
After a while, the girl finished eating. She took out the tissue she brought with her and wiped her mouth. Seeing that he was not looking here, she picked up the phone, pointed the camera at him, and secretly took a photo.
Chen Xu's corner of the eye spotted her movement, suspecting that she was taking a picture, after thinking about it, but still did not reveal it, and said, "After eating, let's go."
The girl picked up the small backpack, stood up, and when she went out, she asked him, "By the way, my name is Cao Ningning."
"Chen Xu."
