Chapter 164: The Door in the Heart
Aunt Li and his wife have been setting up a stall in this area for a long time, and have accumulated some regular customers, including office workers, high school students, fitness enthusiasts who run at night, and even some people who walk their dogs.
It’s funny to say, that time before, someone came over with a big dog and bought various meat skewers for 50 yuan from the couple. At that time, they thought that this person was going to take home to share with friends. Thinking of him taking the meat off the bamboo stick and feeding it to his dog...
Of course, this kind of behavior makes other customers feel disgusted. When they encounter similar customers with dogs in the future, the couple will definitely ask whether it is for people to eat or for dogs. If it is for dogs, please walk away Feed further away.
"Boss, how much do you think we are short?" Aunt Li asked her wife in a low voice when she saw that there were no customers for the time being.
My wife took a deep breath, "You said you have a good memory... how many times have I said it? After all the calculations, it's probably less than 10,000 yuan. It's okay, this is not much money, just ask someone to borrow it." .”
"That's good." Aunt Li was a little relieved, and then looked worriedly at the Zhonghua Road in the twilight. As far as she could see, she could see at least four restaurants, including a large comprehensive restaurant and other restaurants. Three smaller specialty restaurants, plus a local fried chicken place that only serves takeout.
Opening a store on this road is undoubtedly very competitive, but it is not much better if you switch to other places. Anyone who can make money will be vying for it. What fascinates them the most is that it is very safe here. Even their middle school sons have heard from their classmates that there is a great master of martial arts living on this road.
...
Zhang Zian had a headache. Fina, who was hungry, was full of resentment, and his eardrums were almost pierced by the random thoughts one after another.
"It's okay if the meal time is not fixed, I can bear it, anyway, I don't have any hope for you, a mere mortal, but what's the matter if you have a mess?"
Fei Na jumped on the chair, criticizing Zhang Zian imposingly.
Zhang Zian really couldn't refute it, because it was telling the truth. In addition to experience, grilling meat and fish requires constant observation. Sometimes when customers come downstairs, or other things, he forgets what is in the oven... except for a few times when the heat is just right , Other times it is either raw or overcooked. When there are customers, he is busy dealing with customers, so the meal time can only be postponed. If the customers are very annoying, it is normal for lunch and dinner to be delayed by an hour.
Old Tea is fine and not picky, but Fina complains every time.
"Your Majesty, calm down! In my opinion, I'd better ask my little friend to buy an oven quickly." Old Cha persuaded.
"The oven is not the essence of the problem! The essence is his disrespect for Bengong!" Fina said more and more angrily.
"If he has enough reverence for this palace, even if he doesn't have an oven, he will find a way to cook the fish on time!"
Zhang Zian muttered in a low voice, "It sounds like you can use love to generate electricity..."
"What are you talking about! Don't think that Xiao Bengong can't hear the voice!"
"I mean, if the consumption continues, the supermarket will be closed. Don't say it was unpredictable." Zhang Zian quickly corrected.
At this moment, Xinghai walked back into the house from the door, pointed out with one front paw, and said, "Meow, Zi'an, isn't it possible to bake over there?"
"Which side?" Zhang Zian was taken aback.
"Across the road." Xing Hai trotted back to the store entrance.
Zhang Zian signaled for Fei Na to be calm, but it didn't work. He went to the door and took a look, "Oh, so it's Aunt Li and the others..."
Aunt Li and the others sold both breakfast and skewers. Zhang Zian only went there for breakfast, but never at night.
Thinking of this, he turned around and said to Fina: "Across the road is a seller of skewers, as well as grilled sausages, why don't we go and have a look together? If you think it's okay, you can have skewers for dinner today. If not... Let's talk again."
Fina looked over suspiciously, and saw two or three customers stop by the skewer stall to buy something, "How can such a shabby stall be worthy of entertaining me?"
Zhang Zian nodded, "If that's the case, then you can stay and wait a while. Would you like to try the old man Tea?"
Lao Cha left the electric blanket, "This old man has exactly the intention."
"Xinghai, too? Just take a walk." Zhang Zian greeted.
Xinghai hesitated, staring at the two stall owners and other customers of the barbecue stand.
Zhang Zian watched it patiently, waiting for its decision. Even if it decides not to get close to those strangers in the end, he can understand it. Even from a selfish point of view, he hopes that Xinghai belongs to him only. But this is not acceptable, if he wants Xinghai to be happier, he cannot be so selfish.
"Meow, Xinghai followed Zi'an." It stared at him.
"Okay, Xinghai is really brave." Zhang Zian praised him sincerely.
When he went to the Longfeng jewelry store before, he also tried to bring Xinghai with him, but the reality proved that he was too hasty that time, letting him come into contact with so many pedestrians in the daytime would only deepen his fear.
The night is just right, there are not many pedestrians and vehicles, and the night is more gentle and watery.
In addition, Li Auntie and his wife are not complete strangers. Xinghai lies outside the door and looks out every day. In fact, he has already remembered this couple and knows that they are good people who will not hurt others.
Zhang Zian and Lao Cha took a step ahead and walked out of the shop, then turned around and looked at Xinghai encouragingly. He looked around with the corner of his eye, thinking silently that no pedestrians should pass by for the time being.
Xinghai came to the door—in fact, there was no door anymore, and there was only a light white mark on the ground, which proved that there used to be a floor-to-ceiling glass door. Although the real door has disappeared, there is still a door in Xinghai's heart.
It looked down at the white mark, hesitated for a few seconds, and then carefully stretched its front paws, stepped on the steps outside the door, and followed by its hind paws.
Both Zhang Zian and Lao Cha smiled.
Xinghai turned around and looked at the white seal again.
"Meow! The sea of stars is coming out!" it shouted happily.
"It's just a non-existent door, how can I stop Xinghai." Zhang Zian felt sore, but forced a smile, "Let's not talk about the small Binhai City, even the stars and the sea can go!"
Nothing in the world can imprison it, except itself.
"Xinghai wants to go to more places in the future!" It said with longing.
"No problem, I will accompany you wherever Xinghai wants to go—but let's start by crossing this road." He stretched out his hand, pointing to this not-so-wide road.
"En!" Xinghai nodded.
"Wait a moment!"
Fei Na jumped out all of a sudden, staring at him full of resentment, "How dare you act without authorization, where will I be placed!"
"I didn't act on my own. Didn't I ask you? And you were the first one to ask. You don't want to go. After all, it's a simple and shabby small vendor, so it doesn't deserve it..." Zhang Zian imitated his tone Say.
For the safety of Zhang Zian's life, Lao Cha hurriedly interrupted: "It's important to eat! How about we talk about it after eating?"
"Hmph!" Fina turned her head, her face full of dissatisfaction.
"Okay, let's go, it's really hard to eat!" Zhang Zian took the lead.
"Say it as if it's none of your business..." Fina glanced at him, then quickly looked away.
One person and three cats walked towards the barbecue stall opposite.
