Chapter 5 Spicy and shiny! 1
"There are still two special guests left. Once I find them and solve their problems, I'll be free! I can finally report to the mission!"
I was talking to myself while preparing the new curry rice at the counter. I felt particularly good when I thought that I would soon complete this task which I had previously considered difficult.
“Dang, dang, dang! There was a loud bang in the sky, and Chi Weiwei made a stunning appearance!”
In my hand, I held the curry rice that represented confidence and glory, and with a clang, I placed it in front of Hua Likong who was looking at the recipe carefully.
"What are you doing..." Seeing that I was behaving strangely and was inexplicably excited, Hua Likong couldn't help but reach out and touch my forehead.
"Oh, I don't have a fever." I shook my head vigorously and struggled to break free from Hua Likong's hand on my forehead.
Really, my temperature is normal.
"This is the curry rice I newly developed. It's sour, sweet and a little salty, and has a unique flavor." I said with a proud smile.
"Generally, there are only two situations when you research new flavors of curry rice. One, the business is terrible; two, you do something wrong." Hua Likong stretched out two fingers and let me experience it for myself.
"Hey, hey, hey, Hua Likong, first of all, the curry house business is much better now; secondly, I didn't do anything wrong, the last time was just an emergency, and I couldn't avoid it..." I retorted angrily.
What? Why do you act like you know me so well?
"Emergency? Are you referring to the guest you stood up last time?"
Hua Likong, can't you be a little less intelligent and give others some leeway? What can I say...
"It's not really a stand-up. Who would have thought that I would run into Xia You who had stolen my curry rice on the road? Otherwise, those misunderstandings wouldn't have happened, right? So, emergencies are inevitable, and it's only right for me to apologize sincerely now, right?" I said cautiously and seriously.
What else can I do? I have to go to the customer's house and apologize sincerely before the customer I stood up calls to complain.
"Hua Likong, why are you just looking at me without saying anything? Is it right for me to do this? You should at least say something first."
The speechless silence only makes me more anxious.
"Not bad, Chi Weiwei, you seem to have become much more sensible." Hua Likong looked at me for a long time, and finally smiled for a rare time, expressing his affirmation of my performance.
"Really? I'm so happy. Then I'll pack the curry rice and send it to the last customer right away. I still have his address." I jumped up happily.
"But are you sure that the sour, sweet and slightly salty curry rice is really okay?" Hua Likong asked with concern.
I patted my chest and said confidently, "Of course. I have made all kinds of curry rice with strange flavors. You must dare to try."
"Well, you are right." Hua Likong nodded with a smile.
Hehehe, my heart is beating wildly. You know, the probability of getting Hua Likong's affirmation is like a planet hitting the earth.
After simply packing up, I ran out of the curry restaurant.
"Be careful on the road." I guess Hua Likong knew that even if he argued with me, I would not give in, so he tacitly allowed me to go out.
That’s not right. I’m the boss of the curry restaurant. Do I have to ask for my employee Hua Likong’s permission ?
Chi Weiwei, ah Chi Weiwei, your head is really hit by the door!
It had just rained, and the air was fresh and comfortable to breathe. In just 20 minutes, I arrived at the door of the guest's house.
"Ouch! Ouch! Stop it!"
"You still dare to shout! You dare to do it but not admit it!"
"I was wrong, I was really wrong, please let me go this time!"
"Tell me! What did you do wrong?"
"I was wrong everywhere!"
"Insincere!"
As soon as I stepped into the corridor of the residential community, a series of noisy sounds suddenly came.
Eh? Who is arguing? It looks like they are arguing quite fiercely. I hope it’s not the customer I delivered the curry rice to.
But the facts prove that often the things you fear and worry about the most in your heart will still happen in the end, even if there is only a 0.1% chance of them happening.
For example, the house where the noise and quarrel came from happened to be the home of the customer to whom I wanted to deliver curry rice.
Oh my god, my bad luck index has been rising sharply recently. If I send curry rice at this time, even if it is a rare delicacy, people may not appreciate it...
So, mood is a very influential thing.
"Tell me! How should this matter be resolved?"
I just stretched out my hand and was about to knock on the door, but a roar scared me so much that I quickly pulled my hand back.
My god, this really tests one's psychological endurance.
So I had no choice but to put my right ear close to the door and listen quietly without knocking.
I'm not eavesdropping. I'm just checking whether it's appropriate to knock on the door at this time. This involves my personal safety. If someone quarrels too much and starts fighting, I don't want to be a sitting duck.
I listened carefully to the noises inside and finally determined that it was a young couple arguing inside, but I didn't hear a word of what they were arguing about or why.
Suddenly, the house became quiet.
Eh? Are they tired of quarreling? Shall we call a truce?
No matter what, knocking on the door now is much better than the previous situation.
So, after taking several deep breaths, I finally plucked up the courage to reach out and knock on the door.
Just as my hand was about to fall on the door, unexpectedly, the door opened with a creaky sound...
A strange boy with messy red slap marks all over his face, but vaguely handsome, was looking at me with an extremely embarrassed expression.
Looking at each other in bewilderment…
Did I catch someone at their most embarrassing moment?
So what should I do? Turn around and walk away?
That's not right. If I turn around and leave, what will happen to the curry rice? If I stay here, it will be embarrassing.
So I weighed the pros and cons again and again, and finally murmured in a voice quieter than a mosquito: "I'm here to deliver curry rice." Then I lowered my head.
After all, since you have discovered his predicament, you should give him some face, right?
The boy ignored me and ran downstairs in embarrassment.
"Stop right there!"
Before I could come to my senses, a girl rushed to the door.
I don’t know if I scared her or she scared me, but when we saw each other, we both looked very scared.
"who are you?"
The girl's question was not very polite, but considering that it might be because there was a conflict between the couple and they were in a bad mood, I didn't say much.
"I'm here to deliver the curry rice. I'm very sorry that I was delayed last time due to some special reasons..." My voice became smaller and smaller, and I became less and less confident.
"Oh! It's you? I get angry when I talk about this. Last time I was waiting for the curry rice at your house and I was almost starving to death. It took you almost a month to remember to send me curry rice. Who do you think I am?" The girl said angrily and domineeringly.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to do that. It was an emergency, so I came here to apologize. I made a bowl of curry rice just to make amends."
I am almost moved by my own sincerity. This girl shouldn't make things difficult for me, right?
