Gentlemen's Friends

Chapter 50 Extra Story: The Customer Door of Qu Ji Bento Shop (2)
"Doesn't it look delicious?"

The guest was embarrassed again, and whispered: "No, no. I didn't bring any money."

The boss suddenly felt relieved.

It would be best if you don't bring any money. He was worried that the ingredients that are convenient for cooking are limited and he can't satisfy the customers who ask for it. Since he didn't bring any money, then...

"Would you like a bowl of noodles?"

The guest glanced at him, a little surprised and dazed.

"It's okay, the noodles will be cooked quickly."

"but……"

"The last customer before closing has special treatment. Just wait a moment."

In the belief of saving his self-esteem, the boss personally cooks a bowl of beef noodles. The marinated beef is ready-made, and the broth is also prepared. The boss cuts vegetables neatly and beats two eggs.

When it was brought out, the customer was still standing awkwardly, and he probably felt impolite if he wanted to leave, and he was uncomfortable keeping it, so he could only look at him from there.

"Please sit down, your beef noodles."

The guest still hesitated: "This..."

"This is a special offer today, no money required."

The cost of a bowl of noodles is not much, so it is good to ask the guests to appraise his craftsmanship.

The guest hesitated again: "I will pay you back tomorrow with the money."

"It's okay, please use it slowly."

There were only two people in the store, and the boss didn't go into the kitchen anymore. I always felt that it was not good to leave this customer alone.So I sat opposite and watched the guests eat noodles.

The mist rising from the noodles blurred the glasses, so the customer had to put down the chopsticks and reach out to take off the glasses.

The guest's face was pretty, but he looked tired and cold. From such a close distance, the boss noticed that one of his eyes was not working well.

Then he started to eat the noodles with his head down, and in that slow and careful swallowing movement, something fell into the big soup bowl, splashing a little soup.

Before the boss could react, it was another point.

The boss was taken aback. Of course, he would not be so affectionate as to think that the guests were moved by the delicious noodles, or that they were moved to cry on the spot because he did not charge money.

I just don't know how sad it was that made such a quiet person finally shed tears.

"Uh……"

The boss could only frantically push the tissue on the table, but didn't know what to say, so he could only face him in silence.

The guest probably didn't look up because he was too shy.

The boss didn't make a sound to disturb him, but just sat there with him, letting him silently let the tears he had endured for a long time fall into the soup bowl in a relaxed way in front of a stranger.

Although I don't know why the guest was so sad, but such sadness made the boss feel sad along with him.

The boss actually didn't understand his sadness, but he seemed to understand.

Misfortunes in the world are different for each person.But the unfortunate mood is always the same.

After finishing a bowl of noodles, the guest used two more paper towels, finally raised his head in embarrassment, and whispered, "Sorry..."

His voice was slightly hoarse, but still nice.

"It's okay it's okay."

"Thank you a lot."

"Should be."

After seeing off the guests, the boss looked at the door for a while until there was no one there, but he didn't know why, but he was still a little worried.

Fortunately, he was able to make a bowl of noodles for this guest.

But he can only make one bowl of noodles for this guest.

Another text message came in from the phone in his pocket.

The content is: "On the way back? Come back soon."

The boss hurriedly tidied up and closed the shop.

The boss thought, I really hope that the sad guest has someone waiting for him to go home and comfort him.

Just don't know what kind of person it will be.

(four)

When Qu Ji's takeaway shop first opened, the friend of the boss used his contacts to call a lot of people to help him.

An employee of the boss's friend, a friend of the boss's friend, an employee of the boss's friend's friend...

So much so that the boss was surprised that his friend knew so many people.

If it was him himself, this friend would probably be the only one who could invite help in such a huge T city.

But for the boss, only friends are enough for him.

It was very late that day, when the shop was already deserted, two more customers came, both of them were quite handsome, but one had a bright smile and a happy face, while the other had a gloomy face, like frost.When two people get together, it really makes people feel hot and cold, and I don't know why.

The boss was slightly taken aback.He had met one of them once and left an impression, but the impression on that side was really not good.

He suffered from this person and was kidnapped. Although he didn't cause any real harm, his back couldn't help but tighten when he saw that smiling face.

"welcome……"

The man said enthusiastically, "Boss Qu, the business is good."

"Thank you, thank you..."

In contrast, the boss felt that the one with a sinister face might be more amiable.

But no matter what, this smiling man is also a good friend of his friend, so he must treat him well.

The boss came over to get the menu, and heard the smiling man comforting the black-faced man: "Xiao Teng, you just make it once in a while. Although it's a bit shabby, it will definitely take time to go to the restaurant to eat."

"..."

"If you want to be close, you need to be convenient and taste good. Of course, this is here. Besides, it's a store opened by my old friend, so I should support it to some extent."

The boss hurried up to pour a cup of hot tea for each of the two guests: "You guys drink tea first, then order food."

The gloomy-faced man immediately said firmly, "No, I don't drink tea." The taste of the tea in this kind of shop is unbearable to him.

The boss was a little overwhelmed, so he turned his head and said: "Then, you can drink some soup first. The regular soup is free."

Two bowls of soup were served, and the black-faced guest took a sip, but didn't criticize anything, just remained sullen.

Fortunately, Rong Liu looked at the menu and said with a smile, "Boss Qu, please have two curry chicken rice."

The boss quickly agreed, and went to the kitchen to make it himself.The curry in his shop is delicious, spicy just right, the sauce is thick, the chicken is tender and smooth, and it is poured on the soft rice. No guest has ever tasted it without praise.

I don't know whether the guest with a gloomy face thought it was delicious or not, but at least he didn't lose his temper during the meal.

While he was busy with work, he suddenly heard the sound of a heavy locomotive at the door. The boss looked up, but it was his own daughter who opened the door and entered.

"Xiao Ke, why are you here?"

His youngest daughter has grown a lot taller, and is already the stature of a big girl, but she still dresses well, looking beautiful and well-behaved: "The temperature has dropped today, I'm afraid you'll be cold later, so I'll send you a coat along the way."

As a happy father, the boss naturally took over the loving coat with infinite satisfaction.

And the one who came with Qu Ke was a tall and handsome young man, and he was the one who rode the heavy motorcycle. The young man was different from ordinary boys, with a kind of uncommonly delicate vigor, with long and powerful limbs, and his walking steps were revealing. Kind of clean and handsome.

He didn't like to talk, and he just stood there quietly when he entered the store.

The gloomy guest glanced at him, and immediately frowned unabashedly as if seeing something bad.

The boss couldn't help being a little worried. Although my daughter is a college student, she is only 15 years old and doesn't have an ID card. Is it too early to fall in love at this age?
So, he couldn't help holding his daughter's hand: "Xiao Ke, this male classmate is..."

The guest's face darkened again.

Qu Ke laughed and said, "Dad, Xiao Lin is a girl."

The boss hurriedly took a closer look, and found that the "young man" did not have an Adam's apple, and his facial features and body lines were much softer than those of men. What is masculine is not his appearance, but his posture.

The boss was suddenly very embarrassed: "Ah, I'm really sorry, my eyesight is a bit difficult now, and I can't tell the difference when I'm older..."

"It's okay, Xiao Lin is very generous." Qu Ke helped him put on his coat, and was surprised when he saw the guests next to him, "Huh, Uncle Xiao? Uh, you're eating here too? "

Finally, Xiao Lin couldn't avoid it, and greeted the black-faced guest briefly: "Dad."

The guest said coldly, "If you don't want to recognize me, then you don't have to call me. If someone like this is neither male nor female, I would still feel ashamed to call me."

"..."

Qu Ke said goodbye to him, and helped to bring ten bento boxes to deliver on the way, and then left with Xiao Lin.

The boss happily put on the love coat, and immediately felt warm all over, but seeing the guest was very unhappy, thinking that he was unhappy about his daughter.

Those who are also fathers feel sorry for each other. Anyway, there is no one else in the store, so the boss nagged enthusiastically: "Actually, children nowadays are like this..."

The guest dropped his chopsticks, and his eyes seemed to burst into anger: "It's not your turn to show off in front of my eyes!"

The boss was taken aback: "Uh, no, I just want to say that my Xiao Ke is actually quite rebellious now that she is in adolescence. After these two years, it will be fine. Dressing or something is just a matter of personality, don't worry about it." Take it too seriously."

"Don't take it to heart?" The guest was like an erupting volcano, out of control, "My daughter can pretend not to know me in front of outsiders, can you?"

The boss is a little lacking in momentum: "...Xiao Ke is unhappy, and will shout at me too."

"My daughter can not say a word to me for a week, can you?"

The boss retreated steadily: "...Xiao Ke, too, will be angry..."

"My daughter would rather pay someone to have a parent-teacher meeting than have me attend, can you?"

"Uh……"

"My daughter doesn't look like a girl at all, can you?"

"..."

For some reason, the scene turned into two fathers competing in misery.And the boss was completely defeated.

The guest was getting more and more fuel on the fire: "For a person like you, your daughter is well-behaved and sensible. She is good at everything and even comes to give you a coat. How can you understand my feelings?"

The boss was at a loss, his happiness looked very sinful in front of this guest, which made him a little ashamed.

Then he said: "But...my daughter is not my own."

The guest looks at him.

"No matter how good she is, she's actually not mine," the boss said embarrassingly, "...But, I still love her very much."

"..."

"Your daughter is not worried about being snatched away, from a legal point of view. So, I think, take your time, there is nothing that cannot be solved."

After eating, the bill was settled, and the two guests were sent away, and the store was about to close.

Before leaving, Rong Liu called him, and the boss turned around: "Huh?"

"Thank you."

"what……"

The young man smiled again, turned his head and left.

People are ashamed to show their wounds to others.So does the boss.

But he finally showed it to others, in order to comfort the unfriendly stranger.

This unadulterated, pure tenderness that comes from nature.

Rong Liu himself only likes powerful and stimulating things, the more challenging the better, so he has always been unable to accept why Ren Ningyuan fell on such a meek person, Ye Xiutuo's choice also surprised him for a while .

Although he never intends to follow suit, but slowly, maybe he can understand and feel relieved.

That kind of feeling that a complicated and distorted person often has for a simple and lovely person.
