Gentlemen's Friends

Chapter 49 Extra Story: The Customer Door of Qu Ji Bento Shop (1)
(One)

The owner of the Qu Ji takeaway shop is a very gentle and good-natured person.

He was never in a hurry with others, and he never got angry easily. Even if the customer forgot to bring the money, or the work-study student who delivered the food knocked over the lunch box on the way, he would always say "it's all right", and then give him a credit card. account, or repack the bento.

Such a boss, who is always amiable, was still shocked when he saw a young man open the store door with a murderous attitude.

As soon as the young man sat down, he took off his motorcycle helmet and put it on the table, revealing an angry face.

The face under the helmet was still very handsome, with anger and no anger, the boss felt a little relieved, and was just about to close the door to prevent the air from leaking out, when the door was pushed open again.

The person who came in this time was gentle and handsome, with fair face, smiling and good-natured, appearing intellectual and gentle.

"Zhong Li, don't be angry."

The young man named Zhong Li didn't even look at anyone, just said: "Boss, I want a beef rice."

Most of the shops are takeaways, and there are not many dine-in eaters. It is not yet time for meals, and some of the dishes have just been fried, and the chef is filling the rice in the kitchen.Besides the boss, there were only these two guests outside.

"One serving of beef rice, okay. Then, sir, you want to..."

The visitor took a look at Zhong Li, then smiled and said, "I don't have any money. Let's share a share with him."

Zhong Li immediately said angrily: "Who will eat with you? Get out of here."

"Zhong Li..."

"Du, get the hell out of here! What do I have that you didn't take advantage of? You don't even let me stop for a meal, what do you want?"

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, the boss couldn't help feeling uneasy.Fortunately, there was a disagreement in the mouth, but there was no sign of making a move, so the boss went in to prepare the beef rice set.

The poor man who asked for a meal with good words seemed to be well-dressed, but he couldn't even afford a set meal.The boss thought about it, compacted the rice, put a big piece of beef on it, and filled one and a half servings of vegetables as much as possible.

When he took it out, he also put two pairs of chopsticks, two spoons, and two bowls of soup on the tray.

Looking into Shang Zhongli's eyes, the boss hurriedly said: "The soup is free, free."

The two men sat and confronted each other for a while, and the man surnamed Du could only smile temperately, picking up small pieces of white radish in his soup bowl with chopsticks.

Finally, Zhong Li said angrily again: "Eat what you want, why don't you dare, why are you pretending to be pitiful now?"

"Zhong Li, there are many things I dare not do."

"..."

"As long as it makes you unhappy."

"..."

"Do not you trust me?"

"It's so annoying, eat as much as you want, so much bullshit!"

The boss, who peeked from time to time with concern behind the counter, let out a sigh of relief.This is the way of friendship between men.

The boss began to cherish the memory of his lost youth, passion and friendship.

While immersed in memories, the phone rang, and the boss looked down at the text message.

"Come back for dinner early in the evening, Xiao Ke and I will wait for you."

The boss let out a "Hey", and unconsciously felt a strange feeling of warm beating in his heart.He also felt that it was too shameful for a man who was 34-five to still have such a mood.

But the boss thought, this is probably the... relationship between men.

(two)

The day after the two men who ate a set meal left, the owner of the takeaway shop received a call to order food while he was busy preparing a delivery box.

"Is there a takeaway shop from Quji? We want sixty bento boxes. Do you have any recommendations?"

"Oh, we now have beef rice, chicken leg rice, pork chop rice, pork rib rice... There are also elemental bento."

The other party asked for [-] pieces of beef rice, and the rest varied in quantity and were to be sent to the TV station.

The boss was a little surprised because his own flyers hadn't been sent there, but it's always good to have new business, so he was naturally very happy.

At this time, the store was very busy, the lunch box was packed, but the delivery staff hadn't come back yet, there was no extra manpower, and fearing that the customers would wait for a long time, the boss rolled up his sleeves and said, "It's okay, I'll deliver it."

Sixty large bento boxes were loaded into the car, and the boss personally delivered them to the TV station building. When he arrived, he made a phone call, and the staff came down politely to help them take them together.

Then the boss heard the staff muttering in a low voice: "Even the lunch box can drive a BMW 7 series..."

The boss is a little embarrassed.His car was actually bought by his... er... a friend.

Because my friend had too many cars, I gave him one to drive. He also thought it was a bit too extravagant, but it seemed like a waste of money to keep the old one and buy a new one, so I just kept using it.

The bento was delivered, just as the filming in the studio came to an end, everyone gathered around to ask for bento, the boss heard someone say: "Du Youyu told me, I want to leave two beef for them."

The boss saw that everyone was already busy eating, sitting or standing, as if they were all exhausted, and couldn't help but think that celebrities have worked so hard.

He was not in a hurry to go back. He also found it very strange when he entered the TV station building for the first time. He waited for the staff to settle the money for him, so he looked around by the way.

The scene was full of people, but the boss noticed a very handsome young man with a striking appearance at a glance. He suddenly felt a little familiar. After thinking about it again, it turned out that he had seen it on the poster in his daughter's room. He was a big star named Xu Yan. .

The boss was happy and hesitant for a moment. Although he didn't pay attention to the entertainment industry, he remembered that his daughter liked this star very much. We met by chance. If he wants to get an autograph or something, his daughter should be very happy.

But people are busy eating, so it doesn't seem good to bother them.

The boss thought about it and saw that Xu Yan seemed to be in a good mood after eating a paragraph, so he mustered up his courage and walked over nervously.

"Excuse me……"

"Ok?"

"Can I have an autograph?"

Xu Yan didn't even raise his head, he was busy eating the chicken leg bento: "No."

The boss was a little embarrassed, but he also understood that such a top star must be surrounded by people asking for autographs all day long, and he is already tired of it habitually.

But he was a little reconciled. It was the first time for him to have the opportunity to meet such a big star. If he didn't bring some souvenirs back to his daughter, he always felt that this father was very negligent of his duty.

So, the boss stood patiently on the side, waited until he had finished eating and drank the soup in one gulp, and then asked again: "Excuse me..."

Xu Yan raised his head and said, "Hey, I said—"

"Ah, is the boss personally delivering it today?"

The boss turned his head, and the person who spoke was a slender and thin man, wearing light brown glasses, with a delicate and gentle face.

There have been hundreds of customers in his store, so he didn't remember when he received this one, and he just said: "Yes, hello..."

"It's really hard work for you, the taste of the bento is still the same. You were not there when I went to pay back the money last time, so..."

As soon as I mentioned the boss, I remembered it. I was about to talk to him, but Xu Yan said from the side: "Hey, this bento belongs to your family?"

"Yes……"

"did you do it?"

"Uh, I fried the chicken legs..."

"Wow……"

The young man stood up suddenly, and his figure suddenly became so tall that the boss couldn't help taking a step back.

"What about beef? Is it better than chicken?"

"Uh, it's about the same... The chicken legs are crispy, and the beef soup will go better with rice..."

"Do you have pork chops?"

"Yes, yes, the pork chops are served with a special sauce..."

"what is your phone number?"

The boss was flattered and didn't know why the young man suddenly became so enthusiastic.

"Did you just sign the autograph?"

"Yes, it is."

"Small, where to sign?"

"Uh..." The boss felt all over his body, and he didn't bring any paper to go out, so he had to take a banknote that he had just received, "Please..."

After signing, Xu Yan asked someone to take a group photo for them, and generously said: "It will be mailed to you when the time comes, and it doesn't matter if you can put it in the shop for advertisement."

In the evening, the boss returned home happily.My daughter participated in club activities and has not come back yet.And his...uh...that friend was already sitting in the living room reading a magazine.

The boss went over proudly and showed him today's harvest: "Look."

The friend looked up and smiled, "50 yuan?"

"No, it's Xu Yan's signature." The boss sat next to his friend and showed him the unrestrained font on it. "A very popular star, have you heard of him? Xiao Ke likes him very much."

The friend smiled and said, "I've heard of it."

"I didn't expect to have the opportunity to meet a real person. I was so lucky. And he even took a photo with me and said that he could put the photo in the store."

The friend put down the magazine and looked at his happy appearance with a smile: "Really?"

"And he also said that he likes to eat our bento..."

The friend listened carefully to the boss talking about his happiness today, and the two sat side by side on the sofa with their legs close together.

In fact, it was very easy for him to ask Xu Yan out for dinner, not to mention a small autograph.

But he wasn't going to tell his boss.

He likes and is willing to protect this small, precious pride of a man.

(three)

The boss later remembered that it was actually a long time ago when he met that guest, and the seasons are different.

It is so hot outside that eggs can be steamed on the floor, but it was snowing at that time, and a layer was accumulated on the ground.

When the customer came, the store was already closing.

The employees all went back, only the boss stayed for a final inspection.It is necessary to double-check the inside and outside of the small shop, and leave only if everything is safe.

So there were guests coming in through the door, the boss was surprised, but still blurted out reflexively: "Welcome."

The guest was slender and thin, wearing light brown glasses. Because of the weather, the mirror surface was a little blurred, making his expression blurred.

Seeing the scene in the store, the customer hesitated for a moment and asked, "Excuse me, is it closing already?"

Hearing his voice, the boss couldn't speak for some reason.There is a subtle feeling of not being able to bear to let this person down.

"Not yet, do you want something to eat?"

The guest fumbled around, sat down on a nearby chair, and then took the menu handed over by the boss.

The boss waited anxiously for him to order. The ingredients had already been packed. It would be troublesome to make a chicken leg and pork chop set meal, and there was no rice.

The guest looked at it for a while, and the boss felt that he was actually posting his own blankness to that menu.

Then, as if thinking of something, the guest touched his pocket, immediately showed embarrassment, stood up and said hesitantly, "I'm sorry." He turned around and wanted to leave.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm not eating. Sorry."

The guest turned around and was about to leave, but the boss couldn't help but let out a "Huh", and his self-esteem was slightly hit.

The pictures on the menu are all taken by him and his daughter.

In the eyes of the boss, his daughter's photography skills can best and most realistically reflect the color and fragrance of these set meals, making ordinary pork chops look extraordinary.

But the customer actually gave up after watching it.
