Ye Xingyu avoided Tang Lian's hands and did not bother his mother. He carried the things into the store, found a place to put them away, and said: "Let's go together, there is no business at this time, so eat as much as you can!"
"
Tang Lian, who had not seen his son for a long time, wanted to talk to him more, so he no longer refused, pulled down the rolling shutter door, locked it, and temporarily closed the business. Then the mother and son crossed the road and walked to the small restaurant diagonally opposite.
This restaurant is the same as Tang Lian's snack bar. It has no sign, no customers, and no business. It belongs to the "Three Nos" series.
A middle-aged strong man was sitting on a chair at the door, closing his eyes and taking a nap. He was wearing a thin sweatshirt and a greasy apron around his waist. Most of his hair was bald, but his beard was as lush as a weed.
Tang Lian knew that this person was the owner of the restaurant. He had just bought this restaurant not long ago. He did not hire any helpers and did all the work himself. He was very hard-working, but he didn't like to talk. He was indifferent to everyone.
He usually doesn't communicate with his neighbors at all, and no one knows his name.
But Ye Xingyu knew the origin of the other party. He was the cook sent by him to protect his family.
In order to make things easier, the cook rented a shop across the street and built a cooking restaurant as a cover for his identity. He kept an eye on Tang Lian's snack bar at all times to ensure the safety of the mother and daughter.
As soon as Ye Xingyu and others arrived at the door of the store, the cook opened his eyes, and both of them pretended not to know each other. What followed was a normal conversation between the customer and the owner.
"Boss, stir-fry!"
"Okay, come in and sit down!"
Each person speaks a sentence with a natural expression, and no one can see any flaws.
This place is not like the chef's "boutique farmhouse in the wilderness". We can't make it too personal to avoid attracting attention, so we have kept it a little clean and tidy.
There are several sheets of printing paper taped to the wall, clearly listing the dishes and unit prices. There are more than twenty varieties in total. The prices are slightly high, but they are within the acceptable normal range and are not too outrageous.
Ye Xingyu randomly ordered three dishes and one soup based on the family's taste in his memory, and the cook went to prepare it.
This store also has a two-story structure, with business on the lower level and people living on the upper level.
The downstairs is divided into two rooms, inside and outside. The outside is the shop and the inside is the kitchen. The former is slightly larger and the latter is smaller.
The three of them were sitting at the table near the door, casually chatting about some commonplace gossip, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Ye Xingyu has been reborn countless times and knows very well how to get along with his current "family". Whether it is expressions, tone of voice, titles, etc., they are all just right and will not show an obvious sense of alienation.
As a mother, Tang Lian did not notice anything unusual. She had no idea that the current son was essentially different from the previous son.
Most likely, she will never know it in her lifetime.
As long as Ye Xingyu wanted to hide it, it would be difficult for her to detect it.
Of course, Ye Xingyu would not take the initiative to confess, and he would not ask for trouble. The matter itself is full of fantasy and bizarreness, and it is difficult for people to believe it.
Whether he was killing someone or cooking, the cook was very agile. With a few clicks, he put several of the dishes ordered by Ye Xingyu on the table one after another.
Needless to say, the taste is definitely a five-star rating.
It's okay for Ye Xueqing. After all, she has eaten the food cooked by her brother several times in the past two days. With the foreshadowing, she won't feel too deeply.
And Tang Lian was very surprised. He didn't expect that this shop owner usually didn't have a good look on his face, but his cooking skills were very good. Opening a restaurant in this small county town was simply a sign of humiliation.
However, she had a question: Why has the business of this store not been improving? Is it because the prices are too high?
Little did she know that if a stranger came to order, the chef would not put in the effort to cook the food, and the food would taste ordinary and not have a competitive advantage.
Otherwise, if the restaurant's business is too good, it will affect his business.
The chef cooks more for his hobbies and does not really want to make money from this.
When everyone had almost finished eating, Ye Xingyu secretly winked at the cook while his mother and sister were talking, and they walked into the kitchen one after another.
Ye Xingyu lowered his voice and asked the cook: "Should all the hidden wounds in your body be healed?"
The cook nodded: "It's almost healed a long time ago. The pill you gave me is very effective!"
Ye Xingyu then asked: "How about being promoted to Danjin? Are you sure about it?"
The cook thought for a moment and then replied seriously: "If we don't rush it, it will probably take another year and a half."
Ye Xingyu quietly released the power of his soul, and roughly checked the cook's physical condition. It was indeed as he said, the accumulation was not enough, and there was still some heat left before the Dantian could be opened.
The cook's responsibility is very important. He is responsible for protecting Tang Lian and his daughter. The stronger he is, the safer Ye Xingyu's family will be.
Therefore, Ye Xingyu hopes that the cook will break through as soon as possible so that he can feel more at ease.
So, he decided to give the cook more strength and said, "I will come to you tonight to help you."
After saying this, he turned and left the kitchen.
The cook's face was full of doubts, but he didn't seem to understand.
The first half of the sentence is easy to understand, it is the literal meaning, but the key is the second half, which is a bit shocking. Can this temporary boss help him break through the realm?
At first the cook didn't believe it, but he immediately thought that this young man was Luo Xiu's junior brother. He was unpredictable and had great magical powers. He might actually be able to do it.
Then, a fire seemed to be lit in the cook's heart, and he was looking forward to it, wishing that the sun would set early.
…
As for the neighbors, they still have to pay for food. After all, others are open to do business, and once you have sex for free, you will break the rules.
At the same time, in order not to make his mother suspicious, Ye Xingyu settled the bill with cash in front of Tang Lian, and then the family crossed the street and returned to their store.
Tang Lian opened the door and continued to do business. Although there were few people visiting during this time, she had formed a habit. If she didn't open a store, she would feel uneasy and make less money.
Ye Xingyu drove his sister to school and explained to her the reason why Xue Qing had not come to class for a few days.
As for the little black cat, leave it in the store and don't worry about it. It won't be lost anyway. This little guy is very clever.
Tang Lian initially opposed Xueqing's keeping of pets, fearing that it would affect her studies, but she couldn't help her daughter's pleading and had no choice but to let her go.
Xue Qing attended County No. 5 Middle School, which is also known as Ping County No. 5 Intermediate College. The funds for running the school come from financial allocations from the national government. It is what people often call a public school, and various tuition and miscellaneous fees are relatively low.
Today is Friday, and all students have to go to class. Xue Qing is a sixth grader, and she cannot slack off due to the pressure of entering higher schools, so Ye Xingyu sent her here early.
After all, she has been skipping classes for several days. It's hard to explain, and she might be expelled from school.
