Due to the heavy workload, we are usually divided into several groups.

Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, and Officer Wang's team had completed publicity work in six communities by 9:30 p.m.

Every time the posters are changed, a large number of residents will come to watch, so the explanation will take some time.

Ten p.m.

Gu Chen, Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei came to the noodle shop where everyone often works the night shift to eat.

The noodle shop here stays open all night, and there are many customers here to eat. Most of them are drivers, delivery boys, and some workers working the night shift on the construction site.

The boss is very busy...

The fried noodles in the pot were flying in front of him.

When Gu Chen and others arrived, there were still more than a dozen packed lunch boxes in front of the boss, so Gu Chen and others found an empty seat and sat down first.

Then Officer Wang ordered three portions of beef fried noodles and crock pot soup.

The noisy crowds kept shuttling at the intersection of this alley, and the young people drinking were better at blowing than the others.

Officer Wang brought three portions of crock pot soup from the cooked food, and waited for about ten minutes before three portions of hot beef fried noodles were brought to the table.

"Police officers, please be patient. The store is a bit busy today, so I kept you waiting." The noodle shop owner is an old acquaintance of everyone.

The fried noodles that usually take only seven or eight minutes to prepare took more than double the time today, so the noodle shop owner also came over to apologize.

Gu Chen smiled: "It's okay. Boss, you are very busy in the store tonight. I have never seen you so busy before."

"That's not true." The shop owner also wiped his hands with his apron, and then smiled: "Didn't the gas pipes deteriorate during the day today?"

"I heard that the gas leaked into the basement where the electrical cables are contained, and then a spark ignited the gas. Then the power was cut off and the gas supply stopped."

"Many businesses are now closed, and the maintenance of gas pipelines may continue until tomorrow."

"So the electricity will be turned on tomorrow, so many work units are working overtime tonight, so there are more workers working the night shift nearby, so business is better than usual."

As soon as the noodle shop owner finished speaking, a worker carrying a dozen fried noodles smiled at him: "Boss, I'll leave first."

"Okay, let's go slowly." The noodle shop owner waved to him and said, "Welcome to come back next time."

Seeing the other party walking away, the noodle shop owner turned around, pointed at the other party's back and said, "Did you see that those workers wearing reflective vests were working overtime at the accident site, and there may be a bunch of people coming later."

"Isn't that great? The boss can double his income today." Lu Weiwei said with a smile.

The noodle shop owner rubbed his hands at Lu Weiwei and said with a smile: "Thank you, Officer Lu, but my store is just like this. I make more than 100,000 yuan a year. I am a little tired, but I can still get by."

go."

"Haha." Officer Wang was a little jealous when he heard that, and said quickly: "If I retire in the future, I will come and learn to make fried noodles from you. I heard that the old couple selling pancakes and fruits on West Street are in Jiangnan City.

I’ve already bought two apartments.”

"Haha, that's possible, I've heard about it too." The noodle shop owner is not modest either. After all, this is also the result of hard work.

If you want to buy two houses, you can imagine how many pancakes you have to sell every day.

At this time, an old man wearing a reflective vest with some dirt on his body walked into the store.

He looked at the price tag posted on the wall, turned to the boss and said, "Five beef fried noodles, hurry up."

"Okay, should we eat here or take it away?" the noodle shop owner asked.

"Take it away," the old man said.

"Okay, then you sit here first and I'll cook it for you right away." The noodle shop owner turned around and went to the kitchen.

Only then did Gu Chen notice that this old man was the one he had met during the day.

After looking around the store, the old man seemed to notice three uniformed policemen on one side of the corner.

Especially after looking at Gu Chen, he seemed familiar, so he squinted his eyes again.

Gu Chen waved to greet him: "Old man, we meet again."

"Oh, so you are the comrade policeman who maintained order at the scene of the gas pipeline rupture during the day?" The old man seemed to recognize Gu Chen, so he walked forward with a hunched back and chose the seat next to Gu Chen.

sit down.

"What? You still have to work overtime?" Gu Chen asked.

The old man smiled and said: "The night shift pay is high. Besides, I can't do without me on the construction site over there. Without me, their young people can't do anything."

"Haha." Seeing that the old man was confident in his words, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said: "Then you are really awesome."

"I'm old. I won't be able to work in another year or two." The old man waved his hand, picked up the paper towel on the table and wiped the table, and then wiped his oily hands.

Gu Chen left his seat, took a pot of soup and placed it in front of the old man, saying, "I'll treat you to this."

"This...isn't this not good?" The old man was a little surprised. He never thought that Gu Chen would treat him to a pot of soup.

"Take it and drink it quickly. Don't let it get cold." Gu Chen pushed the earthen pot of soup in front of him and sat back down on his seat.

The old man also said "Hey" and said thank you, and then he started to drink the soup from the earthen pot, and he couldn't help but make a "tsk tsk" sound of satisfaction in his mouth.

Gu Chen also looked down at his watch and said, "It's getting late, we should get off work."

"Okay, let's call it a day." Officer Wang also checked the time.

Lu Weiwei stood up directly and took out her mobile phone to pay.

Since the meal funds of the three groups are temporarily kept by Lu Weiwei, Lu Weiwei looks like an accountant.

Compared with Gu Chen and Officer Wang, they are more like a two-way duo.

After all, the noodle shop owner only sees Lu Weiwei paying every time, so it is inevitable that he will have such thoughts.

"Old man, please eat slowly, we're leaving first." Gu Chen also said hello to him.

The old man smiled and nodded...

It was only after seeing Gu Chen and others leaving that he breathed a sigh of relief.
