Mantra

Chapter 5

At this time, Wang Hou raised his head, stared blankly at the plate of green rapeseed on the table, shook his head with lingering fear, and said, "I can't eat it! You said in your dream that rapeseed is a feast for the dead! "

Wang Hou's words almost made me spit out the rice laugh I just put in my mouth.

I suddenly put down my chopsticks, and the education king shouted: "I said 'washing machine'! Are you still a people's soldier? Are you a materialist soldier? Can you believe the things in the dream? When the whole army competed, you even armed Helicopters are not afraid, so he just killed them with a bazooka. Are you afraid of a dish now?"

"I'm not afraid, but" Wang Hou looked a little depressed, I really doubt that he was frightened out of his wits.

So, I turned my head to comfort him and said, "Eat it! No problem, these two bowls of white rice and a plate of rapeseed are called 'one clear and two white safe rice'. After eating, you will be safe and sound."

"Really?"

"Nonsense! I'm the army chef, I can lie to you!"

Just like that, Wang Hou started to eat amidst my urging.

In fact, I really lied to him.

There is no safe meal in this world, it is purely made up by myself.

However, my old squad leader taught me that when this person eats out, he eats with a "peace of mind".The reason why there are so many nice names for dishes is also to make people feel better.

To put it bluntly, this person is living a psychological effect. Later, I even sometimes thought that the so-called ghosts and gods are also similar to cooking.When people are in a bad mood, they often feel that there are "ghosts haunting them", and they do not go well in everything they do, just like when you are in a bad mood, everything you eat tastes bad, and vice versa. This should be a reason.

As for him, Wang Hou, what he lacks most now is a good mood.

After drinking and eating, Wang Hou finally recovered his lively appearance.He patted me on the shoulder and said, we are destined to meet each other in our dreams, and after this incident, he felt that people in this society are too impetuous, and they are all red-eyed because of money.It's not as real as the friendship we had when we were in the army and climbed the pit together. At that time, it was "everyone for one, and one for everyone"! .

Wang Hou's words resonated with me from the bottom of my heart.

So, my brain got hot, and I asked him if he would like to partner with me in the restaurant business.

I think, the two of us are soldiers together, we do things with our conscience, and we don’t believe we can’t make money.Besides, we are still young, we will get up from where we fell, and set an example for them to see that we veterans are not old-fashioned antiques!

My idea was also approved by Wang Hou.

Wang Hou said that although he doesn't have much capital now, relying on the contacts he accumulated during vegetable transportation, I can buy high-quality and cheap raw materials, and I can also rent reasonable-priced curtains.

Afterwards, I gave up my plan to return to my hometown, and together with Wang Hou, I pooled 5 yuan to rent a curtain in our county for a year.Opened a small restaurant.

In order to miss our life in the army, Wang Hou and I decided that the name of the restaurant was "Bayi Restaurant".

In this way, I have my own storefront.Wang Hou and I have a clear division of labor, he is in charge of raw materials and food delivery, and I am in charge of cooking and housekeeping.Although the two of us didn't earn much, we gradually made a name for ourselves in the county because of the honesty and sincerity of the materials we used.Three years later, we expanded our storefront and our business grew gradually.

However, as the saying goes, "people who have no long-term concerns must have near-term worries", although we have achieved success in our careers, another problem in our lives has followed one after another, and it disturbs my mind.

This question boils down to two words - woman.

There is an old folk saying in our township, which is called "cars and boats stepping on the foot of the house, even if you are innocent, you should be killed. Cooks and operas show their heads when they see people." It means that when driving and driving a boat, cooks, operas and other specific occupations are always dwarfs. Bad-minded, deserves to be looked down upon.

Unfortunately, my cook and Wang Hou, the delivery man, are all in that sentence.

Among other things, the lingering scallion smell on my body every time I go on a blind date is enough to scare off a lot of pink girls.

Ever since, I spent three years in solo brushing.But I'm not lonely, because with Wang Hou, who is worse than me, as a foil, I can somewhat regain my psychological balance.

Speaking of Wang Hou, his relationship issues in the past few years cannot be simply described as "miserable". If I let me describe him, then he is "ghostly".

The reason why he was confused was because Wang Hou had been looking for people in the past few years, all of them were "money-absorbing masters", and they were all the ones who asked for money.But Wang Hou is a man who eats women. No matter how I remind him, this guy will go through fire and water without hesitation, throwing the banknotes into the fire!Every time, I would not give up until the last penny was cheated by those various fungus.

And the most terrible thing is that he still refuses to change after repeated admonitions. Every time he is cheated by a woman, he starts to save money desperately. Why do you save money?Naturally, they are waiting to be cheated next time.

I can only explain this kind of behavior with "ghosts blinding my heart".

In this way, I opened a restaurant with him for three years, and he was cheated by bad fungus for three years.

And recently, he waited for another chance to be cheated, this time, it was a girl in red.

On the third day of my expansion and opening, a beautiful girl in a red dress came to the restaurant.

At that time, it was afternoon, just after the lunch rush.I was too lazy to move in the summer heat, so I lay down on the table in the lobby to cool off, while Wang Hou played his video games on the counter.

Half asleep and half awake, I was in a daze until I suddenly heard a woman's clear and leisurely voice.

"Boss, I want to eat! Can you cook?" The woman's voice was very pleasant.

I opened one eye and went over like an owl, but only saw the back of a woman.

The girl was wearing a red dress with a good figure, and a black waterfall poured from her shoulders to her waist, giving people a strong feeling.

At that time, Wang Hou, who was playing online games at the counter, stood up straight with a "teng", as if the troops were standing upright when they were inspected by the chief.

Although I couldn't see the girl's appearance, I could deduce from Wang Hou's grandson's expression that this girl was definitely a beauty.

I scolded Wang with disdain and shouted: You bastard!Well, the scars forget the pain!Bewildered again.

Wang Hou, a big man, quickly lost his position in front of the beautiful woman. It took him a long time to react, and then he pointed to the seat on one side and said, "Yes! Yes! You sit first! Let's order right away."

Immediately, Wang Hou turned on the "Ghostly Mind" mode, handing someone a tissue for a while, and bringing tea for a while, wanting to strike up a conversation, but stuttering and unable to say a fart.

I was too lazy to watch his clumsy performance, so I stood up quietly and went back to the kitchen, ready to fire and take the order.

After a while, Wang Hou took the notebook and came to the kitchen.

I looked up at his goofy expression.

"Do you want to chase her?" I asked Wang Hou provocatively, "Do you want to take advantage of the beauty of other girls?"

"You, how do you know?" Wang Hou asked in shock.

"Nonsense, just like you, blind people know that you want to cheat on others! You die!" I retorted.

Then, I swipe past the menu and get ready to fire up and cook.

But Wang Hou was still excited, and said to me: "Old Tian, ​​can you add something to that girl? Just say I gave it to her!"

I glanced at the menu, and then, holding the menu in front of Wang Hou angrily, reminded him loudly:
"Add a fart! There are six dishes, and the sheep and scorpion only weigh three catties! Add more? Aren't you afraid of killing her? Wait a minute"

In the middle of speaking, I suddenly felt a little strange.

I feel that there is something wrong with the girl's menu.

Afterwards, while looking at the menu, I asked Wang Hou: "I said 'washing machine', did you remember it wrongly, such six big dishes, can the girl finish eating? Could it be packaged?"

"That's right! That girl said, eat here now." Wang Hou's answer was beyond my expectation.

Holding the menu in my hand, I fell completely silent.

Wang Hou looked at my weird expression, and hurriedly asked, "Is there any problem with this girl's menu? Isn't she a ghost again?"

Since Wang Hou had the experience of the last "coffin head banquet", he has a new understanding of the contents of the menu, and he knows that I know a lot about this aspect, and I can see from the menu that I am different from others. The same name comes.

This time, Wang Houmeng was really right.

I feel that there is indeed something wrong with this girl's menu, but the problem is not with the dishes she wants, but with other aspects
However, I can't see much from just a menu.

So I raised my head and said to Wang Hou, "Wang Hou, your chance has come! This time, this girl, buddy, help you catch her!"

When Wang Hou heard my words, he grabbed my shoulder as if grabbing a life-saving straw, and at the same time nodded frequently: "Please enlighten me, brother!"

"It's easy to say! But you first take your hand off my arm!" I shouted enduring the pain.

There was so much force on that guy, I felt pinched, I had to dislocate.

After he let go, I waved the menu of the girl in red in front of Wang Hou.

I said: "From the menu, this girl may be ill. Only I know how to cure her illness! When the time comes, her illness will be cured, don't you want anything?"

"Can you tell from the menu that a person is sick?" Wang Hou asked in surprise.

I nodded, then let him go out, and told him not to talk nonsense, and I will prepare the meal in a while, and I will go to meet that unlucky girl in red in person.

After dismissing Wang Hou, I was cooking while thinking about this surprising menu.

I couldn't help muttering in my heart, can't it be such a coincidence?Could it be that what happened five years ago is about to repeat itself.
