Chapter 48 Strange and Strange

A beautiful but haughty girl wearing a net gauze sun hat and a white skirt with a waist stepped in.

The restaurant has double doors, and usually only one door is open, and guests can come in and out normally. This girl's hat is too wide, hanging on the door, and she can't get in or out. The scene is very funny.

Du Juan covered his mouth and snickered, Qiyue said: "Look, a big girl is stuck!"

"Dangdang, you're still laughing, come and help me!"

The eldest girl yelled in embarrassment.

She speaks with a distinct Cantonese accent.

A little girl named Dangdang ran over, pursing her lips to suppress a smile. She was short and could barely reach the rope buckle under the big girl's neck.

"Stupid, a piece of waste!"

The eldest girl entered the restaurant with a straight face.

The hat was still hanging on the hatch.

Dangdang couldn't reach the top, and wanted to ask others for help, but the guests were all smiling and watching the excitement, and the boss went to the back kitchen at this time.

"Dangdang, you are so stupid, you don't know how to move a stool!"

The eldest girl found a seat and sat down.

Qi Yue walked over, reached out to take off the hat, and handed it to Dangdang: "Before entering the door next time, just take off the hat first."

Dangdang said: "Thank you."

"You're welcome, you're welcome."

Qi Yue smiled slightly.

Dangdang walked up to the eldest girl and threw the hat on the table angrily.

The eldest girl glanced at her: "It's not big or small, what's your attitude, you're fined not to eat today!"

Dangdang turned his face and sat on the other stool.

The boss came out of the kitchen and greeted the master and servant who ignored each other: "What do you two want to eat?"

The eldest girl said, "One serving of stir-fried noodles, one bowl of seaweed soup, that's all."

The boss didn't leave, but looked at Dangdang beside him.

The eldest girl seemed to be kind, and asked Dangdang: "What do you eat?"

Dangdang pouted and said, "Pho noodles."

Boss Wang went to the back kitchen to prepare. He is both the boss and the cook. The whole family worked in the back kitchen, and his nephew worked as a waiter in the front.

Qi Yue asked Du Juan: "Is the rice noodles spicy?"

Du Juan said: "Hunan food is more or less spicy."

"That won't work, my mouth is numb now, and I don't want to eat anything spicy."

Qi Yue said with lingering fear.

Dangdang said on the side: "It's okay, the rice noodles are not spicy at all."

Qi Yue asked: "Really?"

Dangdang smiled and said, "Really."

Qi Yue called the boy over: "Give me some rice noodles too."

The little guy agreed and quickly stepped into the back kitchen.

Qi Yue said with a smile: "Du Juan, are all the guys in Hunan Restaurant so quiet?"

"Didn't you listen to what Boss Wang said? The man is his nephew. He used to work in the countryside and has no experience."

Du Juan explained for the fellow.

Under normal circumstances, when a guest orders, the boy will shout, a serving of steamed fish, a serving of steamed pork, a pot of old white dry, and so on, but rarely will he enter the back kitchen to announce in silence.

At this time, the eldest girl sighed: "It's unlucky! After a few days, the dog was lost and fell for no reason. Oh, Dangdang, just tell me, we have a good stay in Shanghai , come to Manchuria, said to see the snow scene, where is the snow!"

Dangdang said: "Miss, if it doesn't snow in summer, if you want to see the snow scene, we have to come in winter."

The eldest girl stared: "I don't know if it doesn't snow in summer? I need you to teach me! I'm just saying, how unlucky I am!"

Dangdang fiddled with the palace fan in his hand.

The eldest girl stretched out her hand and pushed her: "Why are you still sitting there, go and ask!"

Dangdang stood up, took out a photo from his pocket, and asked the diners from the table: "Excuse me, have you ever seen this dog?"

There were very few guests, so they arrived at Qi Yue's table soon.

"Excuse me, have you ever seen this dog?"

Dangdang asked very politely.

In the photo, the eldest girl is holding a little black dog with a blank expression, and the Songhua River is in the background.

Du Juan glanced at Qi Yue and said in a low voice, "It looks like a black girl."

Qi Yue frowned and remained silent.

"Have you ever seen this puppy?"

Dangdang asked immediately.

Qi Yue said, "I haven't seen it."

"Oh, excuse me."

A trace of disappointment flashed in Dangdang's eyes, and he walked away unhappy.

Pho came to the table quickly.

There is no chili in the rice noodles, and the soup is delicious.

"I learned a good lesson this time, and when I go to a Hunan restaurant, I'll just order rice noodles."

Qi Yue said with a smile while eating.

Du Juan looked at him for a while, then said softly, "Why do you..."

Qi Yue said, "Don't mention the black girl."

Du Juan laughed and said, "You picked it up?"

Qi Yue hummed and continued eating the rice noodles.

Du Juan didn't ask any more.

After eating, Qi Yue went to the counter to pay.

Boss Wang picked up a pen, added figures to the bill, checked it again, and said, "It's a total of one thirty-six cents."

Qi Yue paid one yuan and five: "There's no need to look for it."

Boss Wang said repeatedly: "Thank you."

Du Juan said from the side: "Boss Wang, I have a suggestion for you. You should add some northern dishes. The locals don't like spicy food very much."

Boss Wang accompanied him with a smiling face: "Thank you for your advice."

Qi Yue glanced at the abacus on the counter: "Boss Wang, see you later."

"You two walk slowly."

Boss Wang handed over his hands to see off the guests.

……

arrive home.

The black girl came forward wagging her tail.

Du Juan squatted down and looked carefully for a while: "The black girl is very clean, there is not even a single flea on her body, Qi Yue, have you bathed her?"

"It hasn't been washed, it's just like this when you pick it up."

Qi Yue went into the kitchen, chopped up the chicken liver he just bought, and mixed it into the stick noodle porridge.

It's a brunette's lunch.

Du Juan said: "Just now in Xiaoxiang Garden..."

"Du Juan, don't you think, that pair of master and servant looks weird."

Qi Yue sat down and watched the black girl gobble up her meal.

Du Juan asked, "Why is it so strange?"

Qi Yue said: "Dangdang is a maid, and the eldest girl is a young lady. Is this relationship correct?"

Du Juan nodded: "That's right."

Qi Yue said: "But why do I feel that they don't look like a pair of master and servant?"

Du Juan asked, "What's different?"

Qi Yue said: "When Miss was stuck on the door, she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear. If you say they are friends, it seems more like..."

After being reminded by Qi Yue, Du Juan frowned, she pondered for a while, and then said: "That's right, thinking about it now, judging from their words and deeds, they really don't look like masters and servants. Miss said that Dangdang would not be allowed to eat. But there is no implementation, and besides, there is a difference between superiors and inferiors, and it is really suspicious that a little girl serving others should sit at the same table with the young lady for dinner."

Qi Yue said: "If the master and servant get along well, it's nothing. The most surprising thing is that their dog is so miraculously lost. Not only was it picked up by me, but it was also met in the restaurant. The next second Zhong, I wouldn't be surprised if they came to my door..."
