Chapter 10 Wine and Water

Aunt Chi's face looked better now.

Don't blame Aunt Chi for spending money. Although Song Huanxi was a part-time worker, his wages were the same as those of a long-term worker.

Others work ten hours a day to get ten dollars, so that works out to one dollar an hour.

Song Huanxi only worked for two or three hours and paid one yuan an hour. The wages were considered quite high.

If I work another quarter of an hour less for no reason, the landlady will naturally refuse.

Song Huanxi watched Aunt Chi carefully walk through the crowded dining tables, reached the cashier counter in the corner, and squeezed in with great effort - she had gained weight in recent years, and the cashier counter, which was originally quite spacious, was now a bit difficult to move around.

.

If you think about it carefully, Aunt Chi gained weight when Song Huanxi came to work in this mom-and-pop shop!

Song Huanxi shivered, refused to think deeply, quickly picked up a pen and paper, and started to write down the meal.

Facing a few familiar faces, Song Huanxi didn't move the pen and paper in his hand, smiling and confirming with the regular customers: "Brother Ah Sheng, it's better to have a bowl of wonton noodles with more noodles?"

"Ah Shuibo, it's Chezi noodles, please add more sauce?"

…

Soon, after confirming with four or five regular customers, Song Huanxi turned to the food pick-up port and shouted: "Two big bowls of wonton noodles, one with noodles and base, one with soy sauce noodles, and one with shrimp wonton noodles."

One serving!”

easy to understand.

Boss Chi immediately put his head in and responded: "Okay! Wait a moment, I'll be ready soon!"

This kind of old store, where half of the customers are regular customers, becomes easier the longer it is in business.

It's just that the boss is a bit stingy.

Song Huanxi looked helplessly at the meal notebook in her hand. The paper on it had become a little fluffy, and the original white paper was now covered in black. This was the result of repeated use of the pencil after writing and erasing it.

The pencil in her hand only had a pen tip left, which she would be able to grab.

Song Huanxi tried not to use pen and paper in his hand and relied on his good memory to write down the meals ordered by the diners.

In fact, ordering is not difficult. The difficult thing is to remember after ordering to ensure that every order of noodles is delivered to the correct diner's table.

Aunt Chi always makes mistakes in this step.

Song Huanxi, on the other hand, was busy only in the first few days of this job. After that, until now, she has never missed a meal in several years.

This is why Boss Chi would rather pay a high salary to keep her.

"Two big bowls of wonton noodles! Cart noodles! Shrimp wonton noodles!"

The guests at the back had not yet ordered, but the noodles at the front were already out of the pot. Song Huanxi hurried to the food pick-up port and took out four bowls of noodles in one go. He held them high over his shoulders, and his slender figure walked lightly among the diners.

Put down a bowl of noodles from time to time.

"Brother Ah Sheng, add some wonton noodles."

"Uncle Ah Shui, add soy sauce to noodles!"

…

After finishing this round of dishes, Song Huanxi continued to order without even touching the floor. The tea room that was half full just now was now full.

Most of the guests shared the table, but there was only one——

Song Huanxi paused and looked at the guest in the corner. He was very young, only in his twenties, wearing a stylish three-piece suit, a purple bow tie, and gold-rimmed glasses.

He looks polite and polite, like a bank employee sitting in an office in Central, and his temperament is completely different from the co-workers sitting in the tea room and doing hard work.

This made him seem a little out of place, maybe that's why no one shared the table with him!

Song Huanxi even softened her voice a lot: "Mr. Lu, would you like another cup of coffee?"

Lu Sheng nodded and smiled gently: "As usual."

Song Huanxi immediately walked quickly to the food retrieval port and whispered: "Uncle Chi, a cup of coffee."

Boss Chi stuck his head out, glanced at the corner, and frowned: "It's him again?"

"Okay, it'll be fine in a moment."

Aunt Chi next to her couldn't help but muttered: "How come some people don't drink enough water to wash the pot!"

Brush the pot with water...

Chi Bo's heart ached and he glared at her: "Stop saying a few words!"

He looked at Song Huanxi again: "Just wait here and send it directly to him later!"

After saying that, Song Huanxi watched Uncle Chi retract into the kitchen, took down a brown glass jar from the shelf, scooped out two spoonfuls of the brown powder inside, poured it into a ceramic cup, poured some hot water into it, and stirred it.

Stir and place directly on the tray.

"Okay, send it over!"

Song Huanxi carefully picked up the tray and walked much more cautiously. The price of this small cup of coffee was worth two large bowls of shrimp wonton noodles!

When Mr. Lu ordered it for the first time, it was not available in the store; when he ordered it for the second time, it was still not available.

The third time, Boss Chi went directly to Xian Shi Department Store in Sheung Wan. When he came back, he brought up such a gray jar and muttered that if this jar could not be sold for dozens of cups, he would

Losing money!

As a result, when Song Huanxi was ordering a meal, his voice was heard by other guests, who started to make noises and wanted to drink the kaffey. After the price was quoted, three or four young guests still insisted.

When the coffee came, they took a sip and immediately yelled at the boss for being evil and fooling people with pot water!

Boss Chi refunded the money as if he were cutting meat, and then the customers stopped.

From then on, when Mr. Lu ordered coffee, Song Huanxi walked quietly to the food pick-up area and quietly informed Boss Chi.

…

After putting down Mr. Lu's coffee, all the guests in the room ordered food, and the food was almost served. Many regular customers started to shout: "Ah Huan, read the newspaper!"

"Read it, read it, read that new work about wine and pot water!"

As soon as these words came out, the audience burst into laughter!

Song Huanxi: "..."

She tried to justify it: "It's wine and coffee!"

It's a pity that her efforts were eventually drowned in the commotion of washing the pot.

Song Huanxi shook his head helplessly. Most of the regular customers in the store were workers from nearby factories. Many of them were illiterate or could barely write their own names.

I don’t know when she started reading novels serialized in newspapers to regular customers, which became a repertoire of the noodle shop.

A copy of Ming Pao was thrust into her hand by enthusiastic regular customers.

A magical scene happened. The moment the girl held the newspaper, the sound in the restaurant weakened in just a few seconds. No one spoke anymore, and even the sound of eating noodles became much softer.

Song Huanxi coughed twice out of habit, cleared her throat, turned to the supplement section of Ming Pao, found Mr. Cha's new book serialized on wine and coffee, and read it with great emotion:

"Little Dragon Girl was numb on the ground, angry and funny at the same time. She thought that although she had practiced martial arts well, she still lacked the experience of facing the enemy——"

…

"After a long time, something touched her face slightly, and she saw things in the night as if they were in daylight -"

Song Huanxi's voice paused, and she had already seen it, and the following sentences were about hugging and hugging. According to past practice, she used Spring and Autumn grammar to describe this kind of thing, and passed it by.

She read it at a glance, and at the same time, she began to think about how to change this paragraph to ensure the coherence of the context.

etc!

The one who ruined Xiao Longnu’s innocence was Yin Zhiping? Not Yang Guo??!!

A thunder exploded in Song Huanxi's mind, shattering her internal organs into pieces!

She was shocked and angry, wine and water! How dare he!

How dare you write such a plot!

This book is imaginary, and no one travels through time or is reborn.

Note that the heroine can hold four bowls of noodles at one time!
Chapter completed!
