Chapter 1 Hi, Elegant and Sese! 2
"The weather is nice today." Looking at Hua Likong who was quietly eating curry rice in front of me, I chatted idly.
"Well, the rain should get heavier." He answered nonchalantly and continued eating his curry rice.
"Boom..." A loud thunder struck outside the glass window, but even if there was thunder rolling outside, it was not as shocking as his words.
Hua Likong, you are so honest, can you really find a girlfriend ?
Hua Likong in front of me is the handsome guy who smashed my signboard but helped me out that day. Since then, he has come to my place to eat curry rice almost every day. But what I really don’t understand is why all the food he eats tastes bitter? I made dozens of kinds of curry rice for him, and it would be fine if they all tasted bitter, but the problem is that no matter what his mood is, he still tastes bitter. This makes me even more curious, he is simply a freak!
"Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough."
Ah, here we go again.
"Drink it, drink it." I casually handed him a glass of juice.
He drank it without even looking at it.
"puff!"
Hua Likong sprayed the juice directly on my face, and it looked like a goldfish with bubbles coming out of its mouth. No, why does this juice feel greasy when sprayed on my face? I touched my face carelessly.
Oops! It's vegetable oil! Oh my god!
"Can you be any more stupid? No wonder the curry house business is so bad." Hua Likong wiped his mouth with a clean towel and walked to my side.
You say I'm stupid? Never mind. I'll bear it. I admit that I'm not smart. If I were a genius, the curry house would have been packed with customers.
"Since you think I'm stupid, why don't you, the great genius, help me?" Finally getting to the point, I approached Hua Likong with a little sly delight. A pleasant smell hit my nose. The reason why I was so attentive to Hua Likong these days was simply to "coax" him into the curry restaurant.
All of this started from the day when I tried something extraordinary for the first time in my life, which was following Hua Likong.
Although the curry restaurant business was bleak, it was supported by my father for many years, and there had never been such a strange thing as not being able to read the memory of customers who had eaten curry rice. So I followed someone for the first time in my life, but I didn't expect Hua Likong to be a business genius! I watched him turn his friend's coffee shop from bleak business to booming business in two days. I secretly swore in my heart that if I didn't get Hua Likong in, I wouldn't be called Chi Weiwei!
It seemed that God took pity on the hard work I put into running the curry house. Hua Likong came to the curry house to eat every day, giving me an opportunity.
"Forget it, I don't want to work for others." Hua Likong said with a little arrogance.
"Hey, hey, hey, what's wrong with working?" I was not convinced. Is it shameful to work for me?
"No." Hua Likong straightened her back with great courage, her beautiful eyes sparkling.
"Okay, okay, if you don't want to work, then don't work. Why don't you join us? How about we manage the curry house together?" Looking at the situation, I can only use coaxing and deceiving.
"Then what benefits do I get?" Hua Likong asked directly.
Benefits? These two words flew around in my mind. I knew he was going to ask this! But, do I look like someone who can give benefits? Humph!
But what he said was very spineless.
"I can help you cure your sense of taste." I stared at him with shining eyes and said happily, "I know you are sick."
"Puff!" Hua Likong, who accidentally drank vegetable oil, took a glass of water and wanted to rinse his mouth. Unexpectedly, a mouthful of water sprayed out of his mouth again, but fortunately I dodged it smartly.
"Can you please speak more pleasantly?" Hua Likong looked at me with disdain.
"It's already very pleasant to hear!" God swears, is what I said not pleasant to hear?
"Forget it, the cooperation has failed." Hua Likong replied dejectedly.
"No, no." In order to get this guy to join the curry house, I really coaxed and begged him spinelessly.
"What benefit can I get?" Hua Likong continued to pester.
"I promise to cure your sense of taste..." My voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, but I thought that guy should have heard it clearly.
"Swear." Hua Likong looked at me with disdain while eating the curry rice I made.
What an unscrupulous guy! I really want to beat him up.
"Why do I have to swear? I've already made a promise." Hateful Hua Likong, this is clearly not trusting me! Blatant disbelief! Humph!
"Because if I go to the curry restaurant and you keep delaying the fulfillment of your promise, I won't be able to say anything then." Hua Likong said in a reasonable manner.
Oh my god! How did he know my perfect plan? Can he read my mind?
"Ahem." I felt my face getting hot, and I patted my chest, which couldn't be flatter, guiltily, and whispered, "I will definitely cure your sense of taste."
"you swear."
"I swear." I gritted my teeth and raised three fingers on my right hand, saying angrily.
"Oh, deal. Let's sign it, shall we?"
"Ah? Signed? Signed what?"
"The agreement."
"What agreement?"
"this one."
Hua Likong handed me a stack of ten pages of paper filled with regular script characters, which contained all sorts of random stuff like personal freedom and freedom of speech.
I even had some doubts that this guy came prepared.
"Just sign here." Hua Likong pointed to the final signature place of Party A and Party B, meaning that I should sign my name.
I feel like I sold the curry shop and myself at the same time. I want to sell the curry shop that I worked so hard for, but my dad will never let me go if he finds out.
"Master Hua, do we really have to sign this?" In fact, I really hate contracts. But there is no other way. The curry house can't continue to be in such a mess. What's more, I still have to repair the memory bell.
The way Hua Likong looked at me was like a genius looking at an idiot.
"Okay, I'll sign it." Although I was somewhat reluctant, I had no choice.
The contract actually stated that if the curry house's business did not improve, the curry house owner would have no obligation to cure Hua Likong's sense of taste.
Hua Likong had thought very comprehensively! I grabbed a pen and wrote the three characters "Chi Weiwei" on the contract, then looked at Hua Likong's handsome face with pride, thinking that he could actually stay in the curry restaurant as a lucky cat.
Hua Likong put away the contract with satisfaction. Just as I was about to tell him that he could come to work tomorrow, he walked to the cooking table of the curry restaurant naturally and put on an apron skillfully. He looked so cute in the apron!
"Oh, right." I almost forgot something very important.
"Huh?" Hua Likong looked at me puzzledly.
"Hualikong, you have to promise me one thing." I put away my cute smile and suddenly became serious.
"What's up?"
"If there are a lot of customers coming to the curry restaurant who find the taste of curry rice different, you must help me solve their taste problems."
"What's the meaning?"
"I... well... to tell you the truth, the curry rice I make, unless there are special circumstances, will taste different depending on the mood of the customer. I need to gather customers who can taste five different flavors and improve the taste of the curry rice they taste."
After hesitating for a while, I told Hua Likong about this. After all, he will need to help me solve these problems in the future. Besides , this matter is definitely beneficial to him.
Hua Likong raised his eyebrows and looked at me. His strange look made me feel uneasy.
"Oh." Strangely, Hua Likong didn't even ask me why I wanted to gather guests who could taste different flavors. I felt relieved instantly.
"Why are you still standing there? Get to work." When I was still immersed in the joy of finally having employees as a boss, a voice woke me up and a stack of flyers inexplicably appeared in my hands.
"This...are you asking me to hand out flyers at the door?" I looked straight at Hua Likong who had already started preparing the ingredients for curry rice.
"Don't look at me like that. Even if you look at me like that, the flyers will not automatically fly into the hands of the customers. Since you have prepared so many flyers a long time ago, you might as well send them all out." Hua Likong said with a hint of contempt in his tone.
"Come on, you will never understand how I feel as a boss. I have to make curry and rice every day, so I don't have time to run around!" I retorted indignantly. How could a young master like him understand my difficulties? However, before he could continue speaking, I was already handing out flyers outside the curry restaurant.
So, is this it? Although I looked a little sad, I was actually very happy inside, because I was finally not fighting alone. The curry house finally had a new member! And it was a very handsome "Lucky Cat"!
