Chapter 67 Walking the cat
Chen Chong didn't quite understand the old man's meaning, so he asked uncertainly: "Is there any other dishes?"
The old man’s character is trustworthy, and if he still has the food he needs, he can consider it.
"That's not." The old man smiled and shook his head. Just as Chen Chong was a little disappointed, he continued: "However, I have many old guys who are idle all day long. If you need any food, I can make them all move."
"All old people?" Chen Chong asked subconsciously, but immediately noticed that there was an ambiguity in his words and quickly explained, "I don't mean that..."
"I understand." The old man didn't care. "It's true that they are all old people. My old guys used to be vegetable farmers. Although they are old now, they are still capable. In addition, they are all people who can't sit still. Finding something to do is also good for their health."
Chen Chong was silent.
"Don't you think they are all elderly people, but they are never vague when growing vegetables. They are all good at it. In addition, they have enough time and stay in the vegetable field and keep the vegetables healthy." Seeing that he didn't speak, the old man became a little anxious and tried his best to help the old guys find something to do.
The old man has lived for more than half a century, and he doesn't know countless people, but his subtle facial expressions and eyes can see Chen Chong's strict requirements on ingredients. It is precisely because of this that he does not want the vegetables he has worked hard to be ruined, and this can even arouse the interest of those old guys.
Let me ask, who doesn’t want their achievements to be highly recognized? Even if the other party is several rounds younger than him. To be honest, it is difficult to find the ambitions they have at their age.
"You misunderstood." Chen Chong waved his hand with a smile, "I'm just thinking about what dishes my restaurant needs now."
"Then what you mean..."
Looking at the old man's eager eyes, Chen Chong nodded readily, "As for what kind of dishes I need, I'll tell you after I go back and think about it. We can exchange contact information first."
The old man was so happy that he said 'ok', then took out an elderly machine and saved Chen Chong's phone.
After a few more conversations, Chen Chong said goodbye to the old man and then returned to the restaurant with a full load of ingredients.
It's still early this time. Except for some places where breakfast can see scattered diners, most restaurants are still closed.
"Boss Chen, did you go shopping for groceries so early?"
"Have you bought so much meat?!"
As soon as Chen Chong pushed up the roller shutter door, two students ran over the street. They looked familiar, but they couldn't remember when they had seen each other.
"Yes, the ingredients in the store have been consumed." Although I couldn't name it, this did not affect Chen Chong's normal communication with them at all.
Just like once, he received a call. After chatting on the phone for half an hour, they found that one had called the wrong one, and the other kept guessing who the other was. In the end, the two hung up the phone with a tacit understanding.
"You can't carry so many things alone, so let's help you." The two students said without saying a word, and walked into the store with two big bags in their hands.
Chen Chong opened his mouth and wanted to say something thankful, but unexpectedly, after putting down the bag, the two students ran to him excitedly, and said with a wink, "If you have anything to say hello at any time," and then waved to leave.
"It seems that I want to leave a good impression." Chen Chong smiled and shook his head. It seemed that as business improved, his restaurant had some "abnormal" changes that were different from other restaurants.
For example, those who take the initiative to go into the kitchen to help deliver the dishes, and even those who help to greet the guests.
…
Nearly twelve o'clock, Chen Chong had just prepared all the ingredients, and Wang Xiongxin and Zhou Fei arrived. Without the former's instructions, they knew what to do.
Change the trash can, wipe the table, place the stool, and then carry all the single stools outside for guests to take it themselves.
However, what Chen Chong and the other two did not expect was that just a few minutes after twelve o'clock, diners flocked to the scene and the scene was once in chaos.
"Fish-flavored shredded pork rice! Three servings!"
"We don't eat set meals today, we want to have regular meals!"
"Mapo tofu, fish-flavored shredded pork rice combination! Two servings!"
"Boss Chen, I am Xiao Liu who helped clean the table yesterday. Give me a five-color glutinous rice!"
"Ah, who stepped on my feet!"
…
"Everyone line up, don't squeeze!" Wang Xiongxin and Zhou Fei tried hard to maintain order, but the various sounds were too noisy to yell at the top of their voices.
Chen Chong was busy in the kitchen. He thought that after yesterday's experience, he would be a little calmer today, but he still underestimated the growth rate of diners.
Thirty portions of fish-flavored pork set rice and twenty portions of Mapo tofu set rice prepared in advance were almost emptied in an instant.
The restaurant couldn't sit down, so the guests stood and ate with plates, without any image. There were even smart students who occupied two single benches and regarded one of them as a table.
"Boss Chen, why don't you prepare some low stools, which can be combined with the high stools outside." The student who was waiting for the meal suggested.
Chen Chong thought this method was feasible. In this way, such a large open space outside could accommodate many people!
Near two o'clock, the student party basically left, and there were still a few office workers and visitors left in the restaurant.
"How is it, are you tired?" Chen Chong called Wang Xiongxin and the others to go to the kitchen to have dinner, and asked while eating.
"It's very interesting not to be tired." Wang Xiongxin said vaguely with rice wrapped in his mouth.
"What a pity, many students have classes in the afternoon and left before they waited for a long time." Zhou Fei shook his head.
"It's a pity." Chen Chong sighed. Before solving the store area and serving speed, he had to find a temporary alternative.
After a simple meal, Wang Xiongxin and the others left, and Chen Chong could handle the rest alone.
Fortunately, there were basically no customers after three o'clock, so he quickly cleaned up the restaurant. Just as he was about to go out, the black cat stood on the stairs and shouted.
"What are you doing?" Chen Chong frowned.
The black cat ran to Chen Chong's feet and rubbed it. He ran out of the door and then ran back again, "meow meow" in his mouth.
"Do you want to go out with me?" Chen Chong probably understood what the little guy meant.
"Meow." The black cat licked the cat's claws and sat at the door without moving, expressing his feelings.
Seeing this, Chen Chong looked strange. He had only heard of dog walking, but why did he become a cat when he got to him?
"It's dangerous outside, are you sure you want to go?"
"Meow." The black cat was unmoved.
"Then follow closely, don't lose it." Chen Chong curled his lips, closed the roller shutter door, and headed towards the property location of the food street.
