The Days of Opening a Restaurant on an Abnormal Earth

"Your friend? Okay, yes, it's okay." When Zhang Tong heard that Xiao Xiao was going to cook for her friends, he agreed indifferently: "But you have to make it clear to your friend, then You cook the dishes, not me."

"Oh! Don't worry, why are you so afraid of smashing your signboard?!" Xiao Xiao couldn't help but rolled her eyes at Zhang Tong.

"Is your friend a man or a woman?" Zhang Tong asked Xiao Xiao with concern while picking vegetables. For this diligent little girl who appeared in the store, Zhang Tong still cherishes it very much. It is admirable for a sixteen-year-old girl to survive in Huaihai without relying on anyone.

Don't steal or grab, work hard, and don't do anything bad. If she went to noodle restaurants a bit shamelessly or ate other people's staple food in fast food restaurants and made others unhappy, there was nothing to do about it. Because Xiao Xiao's ability is like this, she told Zhang Tong that her special ability belongs to: no matter how much she eats, she doesn't get fat, and the side effect is that she can eat especially.

For this special ability, Zhang Tong didn't know whether to say it was good or bad. If a very rich person (regardless of gender) who loves delicious food has this ability, then I am afraid she (he) will feel that she (he) is the happiest person in the world. Because you can feast on all kinds of delicacies from all over the world without worrying about gaining weight and health problems.

But for Xiao Xiao, this ability is too tasteless. She doesn't have that much money to eat and drink. Although it's really enviable to maintain a standard figure without gaining weight, but she can't help being hungry every day. People who have never been hungry will not have that kind of experience. When you are so hungry that your whole body seems to be burned by ants, and everyone looks like a steamed bun, that feeling is too painful.

So Zhang Tong knew very well how helpless Xiao Xiao's seemingly shameless behavior was. Don't say that it will save money to cook and eat at home, it doesn't exist. Going to a fast food restaurant costs five yuan for a vegetarian dish, and one yuan or two yuan for all-you-can-eat rice. Xiao Xiao can eat more than ten bowls. I'm afraid the cost of cooking by myself is even greater. The purchase of water, electricity, coal and various cooking utensils is also a big expense.

And the salary of being a cleaner before was so much, not to mention that the real estate agency closed down later, and she lost her job as a cleaner and had no source of income. If she didn't try her best to eat and drink, she would either starve to death or go to evil. the way.

Xiao Xiao also knew that she did not do well, so she tried her best to get rid of all this. That's why she participated in the Big Eater Competition. She has been working hard to change her status quo. This is why Zhang Tong likes this little girl so much. People really need to do everything possible to survive in a desperate situation. Some methods are indeed a bit shameless, but at least there is a bottom line to stick to.

So Zhang Tong is somewhat concerned about Xiao Xiao's friends.

"That's my friend from the orphanage, named Li Xue. She's a pretty girl, and she has good academic performance." Xiao Xiao said with envy: "I can't continue studying because I feel so tired every day. Very hungry. When the teacher was in class, I always thought that the chalk in the teacher’s hand was like cotton candy, and it would be great if I could eat it.”

"Li Xue and I lived in the same dormitory at the time. She and I have a good relationship. We went to elementary school and junior high school together. I awakened my abilities in junior high school and couldn't get enough to eat every day. But the food expenses of the orphanage It is quantitative. After eating my portion, I can’t eat any more, otherwise the other children will be hungry.” Xiao Xiao said helplessly.

"At that time, I was often so hungry that I couldn't sleep at night. At that time, Li Xue would secretly get something for me to eat." Xiao Xiao said here with nostalgia on his face.

"Speaking of which, your relationship is really very, very good." Zhang Tong raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, Li Xue is my best friend in my life!" Xiao Xiao nodded vigorously.

"Then she is still in the orphanage?"

"No, her brother came back from another world three years ago. Her brother is also a returnee. When her brother came back, he took her out of the orphanage. And because the country has preferential treatment for the property of returnees , if it can be proved that the returnee is the legal owner (successor) of the property, then the country will award the property to the returnee, so her brother snatched the old house back from his relatives."

Zhang Tong is also clear about what Xiao Xiao said. There is such a property law for returnees to appease these returnees. Just like this store in my own home, it is impossible to say that no one is tempted when my parents passed away and I am not around. But after I came back, the store quickly returned to my hands. After all, the country still hopes to maintain stability.

"So, you invited her to dinner today?" Zhang Tong had already cleaned up all the vegetables that needed to be picked. Xiao Xiao also washed all the materials.

"Well, I told Li Xue that I work here, and I want to open a small shop like the boss in the future! I want to hone my cooking skills. I can cook a few dishes now. .” Xiao Xiao was full of confidence.

"Then what are you doing?" Zhang Tong was a little curious.

"Dangdangdang~" Xiao Xiao prepared the ingredients for today's cooking by herself, and she took them out of the refrigerator: "Roast pork ribs with taro!"

Well, a good dish. Although it is very homely and not difficult to make, it is special for dinner. Zhang Tong nodded: "Then start your performance now, classmate Xiao Xiao. You need to prepare the pork ribs with taro in advance."

"En!" Xiao Xiao nodded vigorously.

The home of Li Xue and Li Changqing.

Li Changqing opened the door after confirming that Li Xue had escaped through the window. When he saw the two police officers at the door, he was a little surprised and said, "Aren't these officers Zhang and Officer Wang? Why are you here?" The two people who came were this The police in this area are responsible for some trivial matters. For example, the census, safety knowledge presentations, and some petty theft cases in the community.

Because they often appeared in the community, Li Changqing did know the two of them. As for Li Changqing's surprise, half was fake and half was real. The real part is that Li Xue was suspected of stealing the car, and the police came to arrest him. But as a real brother, Li Changqing doesn't want Li Xue to be taken away anyway. That's why he told Li Xue to run through the window. Passers-by can talk about the four words of righteousness and relatives, but I really wait for this to happen to passers-by and see if they can say these four words lightly.

However, unlike what Li Changqing expected, the two police officers who came did not ask questions when they entered the door. Instead, they said with a smile: "Comrade Li Changqing, congratulations. Today we two are here to announce the good news. There is a I have good news for you."

Li Changqing: "Huh?"

—————————

After Li Xue pulled out the window, she started running all the way. She knew exactly what would happen if she was actually caught. If you just stole a battery car, that's fine, and you'll be fined, but if your affairs are revealed, you might spend two years in prison.

Stealing too much is already a criminal offense.

The dazed Li Xue took a taxi without knowing why, and she didn't know where she should go now after getting in the taxi, so she subconsciously reported the address Xiao Xiao gave her. Li Xue got out of the car in a hurry when there was still one street (about 500 meters) away from Lao Zhang's shop.

She hasn't decided whether to meet Xiao Xiao yet. Now she is a little flustered, she wants to call Li Changqing, but she is afraid that there are policemen on Li Changqing's side. Li Xue, who was wandering around with her mobile phone, didn't notice her surroundings. Without paying attention, she ran into a man who had just come out of a cake shop next to her.

"Ah~" Li Xue almost fell, but the man supported her. And said with concern: "It's okay."

If Zhang Tong was here, he would know this man very well, because his name is Zhang Moxuan!
