Chapter 4: Bitter·Bang! 1
"Chi Weiwei, how do you make those special curry rice?"
There were not many customers in the curry house, so I could only stand there in a daze, but I didn't expect Hua Likong to say such a thing.
"Why are you asking that?"
"A little curious."
Well, the fact that the word "curious" came out of Hua Likong's mouth can only mean that he is really very curious.
"Well..." I hesitated.
"Is it because of the little crystal bell in your hand?" Hua Likong continued to ask.
"How do you know? Ahem, what on earth am I talking about?" As expected, I am a person who can't stop talking...
“Ding-ling-ling!”
The phone at the curry house rang at the right moment, interrupting the slightly awkward conversation between Hua Likong and me. I was simply thanking God.
"Hello, this is the Yuanqi Girl Curry House. Let me reiterate that we do not deliver food to your door."
The phone in the curry house rarely rings in a century, but today it rang for the seventh time.
"Why did you reject the same customer seven times?" Hua Likong, who was busy nearby, saw that I had rejected the customer with almost the same words for the seventh time, so he asked.
"I don't deliver meals to people's homes. Besides, if everyone asks for home delivery, we won't have enough staff."
It is too troublesome to deliver food to the door.
"You can't have this idea. You have to try everything first." Hua Likong began to educate me again.
"So you want me to deliver curry rice once?"
I am very curious about Hua Likong's thoughts.
"Well, let me go." Hua Likong clapped his hands and said.
"Ah? You're going?" I was a little surprised.
"You are a girl after all, so let me do this kind of thing."
There was an inexplicable warmth rising in my heart. I couldn’t describe the feeling, but I just felt very warm and comfortable. I felt like I was not the only one running the curry shop and struggling alone.
"Hey, it's okay. I was just trying to send you there. Anyway, we're close, and you're better at entertaining guests than I am. You should just stay in the curry shop."
After saying that, I didn’t even give Hua Likong a chance to grab the job. I just packed up the curry rice and went out.
Although it was not far away, the sun seemed a little strong today. I felt hot all over after walking for a while.
"Oh...it's so hot... "
Although complaining is not my intention, it is my instinct.
However, the riverside park of City A is just in front.
When I saw the park, I was inexplicably happy because there were benches where I could enjoy the cool air, and I wanted to rest for a while.
"Oh, finally I can take a break."
This is a great place to cool off. Even when the sun is strong, the air here is still very fresh.
"call……"
I put the curry rice on the bench, propped my cheeks with my hands and began to daydream.
Actually, there is one thing I dare not tell others, that is, I have a special hobby. In addition to making curry rice, daydreaming during rest time is a strong skill of mine.
Time always passes fastest when you are daydreaming. When I came to my senses, I found that the curry rice was gone.
"Huh? Where's my curry rice?"
Suddenly, I felt nervous.
Oh my god, this is the curry and rice I am going to deliver to my guests today. This is my first time delivering curry and rice...
"Is this what you're looking for?"
A lazy voice sounded beside my ear.
I turned my head with a little curiosity and saw a strange girl looking at me with hazy eyes, as if she had just woken up, like a lazy big cat. Her short hair was loose and messy, and her clothes were a little messy. But she didn't seem to care about her image at all, and she was chewing something slowly in her mouth.
Perhaps because she saw that I was looking at her, she raised her hand lazily, with a plastic bag hanging on her hand that looked extremely familiar to me.
"Hey! That's my curry rice!"
I jumped up from the bench and declared my ownership in a righteous manner.
"Ah? But what can I do? I've already eaten." She said lazily, still chewing in her mouth.
"That's not for you, how can you just eat other people's food?"
Really, where did this person come from? He actually ate the curry rice that I was going to give to the guests without my permission.
"I'm hungry. Also, your curry rice tastes so bitter. I've never eaten anything so disgusting in my life." The girl who stole my meal not only didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt, she even complained that my curry rice was not tasty.
"Hey! It's ok that you stole my curry and rice, but you actually dare to complain about it? Hey, this is the curry and rice I was going to serve to the guests, and now you've eaten it. Tell me, what should I do?" I asked angrily.
"What? Didn't you just eat some super disgusting curry rice? Look, I only ate one bite and left the rest untouched. How about you clean it up and serve it to the customer?" the girl said indifferently.
As I listened to the bad advice given by this lazy girl in front of me, I had to admit in my heart that I had met my match.
"Are you kidding me? You asked me to give the curry rice you ate to the guests?"
This is clearly an attempt to destroy my reputation.
"Yeah, the guests don't know anyway."
Seeing her nonchalant and matter-of-fact look, I didn't know what to say.
"Bad idea." I said unhappily.
"A bad idea is still an idea."
"There are so many twisted ideas."
Really, people nowadays just love to make specious arguments.
"My name is Xia You. Here's the meal money. Give it to you." Before I could react, the girl named Xia You stuffed a bill into my hand.
Good job, ten yuan!
"The meal has been paid, so I'm leaving now." After saying this, Xia You slowly moved his feet, looking like he was about to leave.
"Hey, hey, hey." I called her in time.
"Don't tell me that ten dollars is just for my meal? My raw materials are worth more than that."
I didn't lie to Xia You, this is the truth. After all, my curry rice is very special. Without good ingredients and good secret recipes, it would never reach my level. Of course, I'm not flattering myself...
"Ah? What else do you want?" Xia You looked lazy to begin with, and now his face was stretched so long that he looked like a sloth that had not yet woken up.
"I don't want to do anything. The point is, I'm in a hurry to deliver food to the guests, and now I can't solve the problem. What do you think I should do?"
I swear to God, I really didn't mean to make things difficult for Xia You, it's just that I haven't figured out what to do about this matter right now.
"Then go back and make another one and send it to the customer." Xia You said indifferently.
"How is that possible? Not to mention the lack of time, this is the first time our curry shop has delivered food to your door. It feels like our credibility has been lost all of a sudden."
Whenever I think of this, I become particularly worried. Why is nothing ?
"Oh, believe me, you're lucky that you didn't deliver curry rice. You know, your curry rice is really bad. I'm sure that after the customers have eaten your curry rice, they will never order meals from your restaurant again." Xia You said slowly in a long tone.
"What ! Hey, what's wrong with the curry rice I made?"
Really, how come there are only people with no taste these days? The curry rice I made is obviously delicious! How can it be as bad as they say!
Oh, I almost forgot, the curry rice that Xia You ate was bitter? The point is that the curry rice I made is not bitter!
Oh my god! I actually forgot something important! Although Xia You was not the original owner of this curry rice, since she ate the curry rice, I should be responsible.
It’s over, it’s over, it’s over… I seem to be in trouble again…
I unconsciously touched the silent bell on my wrist, and my heart sank.
Woo woo woo... I feel like my bell is covered in dust...
"It tastes terrible to begin with... Oh, I won't tell you anymore. I feel dizzy after eating and I'm very sleepy. I'm going to take a nap first."
Xia You, who was complaining about the taste of curry rice in the previous second, lay down on the bench next to me and pretended to be asleep in the next second.
"Hey, don't go to sleep yet. Tell me clearly, whose curry rice is bad? Also, you have to go back to the curry restaurant with me first. I need to take you back first."
I grabbed Xia You's arm to prevent her from lying down completely and never getting up again.
What kind of girl likes to sleep on a park bench? Shouldn't she go home and sleep there?
"Why should I go back with you? Come on, don't say anything, let me sleep for a while first." Xia You pushed my hand away and fell asleep on the bench.
"Hey, hey, hey, you're not allowed to sleep. You can choose to go back to the curry shop with me to sleep. It's not far from here anyway."
I held onto Xia You tightly. I didn't know where this sense of mission came from. I just wanted to quickly drag Xia You back to my curry shop to study her carefully. Who told me to miss the time to find out the story in her pupils? This matter had to be resolved no matter what.
"Oh, I'm not going." Xia You muttered and shook off my hand.
I gritted my teeth and pulled her up with all my strength.
"What are you doing? Why are you so stubborn?" Xia You didn't even open his eyes, perhaps because he was too sleepy.
"I don't care. You sleep. It's my business to drag you back to the curry shop. It's none of your business."
