"By the way, Betty, you don't have to come to the restaurant tomorrow." Chen Ze took off his headscarf and stretched.
After cutting the tentacles for a whole day, he felt so tired that he could not even lift his hands. His hands would twitch unconsciously when he moved them.
Betty's hands paused while washing the dishes. She turned her head stiffly and looked at Chen Ze with tears in her eyes. "Store … Store Manager … Did I do something wrong?"
Chen Ze patted his head. He also felt that his words were a little ambiguous.
"No, no, Betty, calm down. I didn't mean to drive you away. Tomorrow … I have something to do, so the restaurant won't be open. You don't have to come. You can come the day after tomorrow." Chen Ze scratched his head and explained.
"When is the day after tomorrow?" Betty was relieved, but she asked again.
"The day after tomorrow …" Chen Ze was a little embarrassed. He really did not know how to explain the day after tomorrow to Betty. After all, it seemed that the flow of time on both sides was different.
He couldn't explain it from the hour system, right? He could also explain what the Earth's rotation was. Chen Ze did not think that he could explain it clearly.
"Anyway, the next time you see the door, just come in." Chen Ze nodded affirmatively. He felt that it was feasible.
Chen Ze had now figured out some rules. For example, as long as Chen Ze locked the door, the guests from the other world would never be able to come in. The angel-like creature last time was completely because Chen Ze did not close the door properly.
"Okay, Store Manager. Do you need any other services?" Betty relaxed a lot and became mischievous again.
Chen Ze glanced at her and pointed at the chopping board on the kitchen table. "Do you see that thing?"
"Yes, I see it. It seems to be the thing you use to cut vegetables, Store Manager." Betty remembered that she had seen Chen Ze cutting vegetables here a few times before, but she did not understand why Chen Ze would let her see this.
Could it be that Chen Ze wanted her to cook? Thinking about her cooking skills, Betty felt a little pressured. Whether it was in the tribe or with the slave traders, Betty had never cooked by herself.
"Do you think I would be interested in a chopping board?" Chen Ze smiled and went to the basement to move the ingredients.
Betty was stunned. She didn't understand what Chen Ze meant. She could only watch as Chen Ze went to the basement.
"Chopping board? Why are you interested in the chopping board? "Betty looked at the flat chopping board and blinked her big eyes.
Chen Ze opened the freezer. He felt that he had to add more seasoning. If he didn't have any seasoning, it would be really difficult to cook.
After all, most dishes required all kinds of seasonings in order to satisfy one's appetite.
"Let me see … I don't have enough chili. Next time, I'll buy 50 catties. Also, I'll buy some pickled peppers … "Chen Ze wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth. He wanted to eat lemon chicken feet.
Chen Ze still remembered that when he was in his hometown, especially during the summer holidays, his favorite snack was lemon chicken feet. It was sour and spicy to stimulate the appetite. Together with boiled chicken feet, it was very comfortable to eat.
At that time, Chen Ze could always hold a small pot of chicken feet and watch cartoons happily. He could easily finish it in the afternoon.
"Next time, I'll make some chicken feet. It's good as a snack." Chen Ze took a small notebook and went back to the first floor.
"Betty, you can go back now. I'm going to buy some ingredients. You can come back next time when I'm open." Chen Ze called out to Betty who was still wiping the table.
"Okay, manager!" Betty wiped her hands happily and was ready to go back to her small house.
"Wait." Chen Ze stopped Betty who was about to open the door.
"What's wrong, manager?" Betty looked back in confusion.
"This is your salary for this week." Chen Ze took out a golden coin from a small cabinet in the kitchen and put it in Betty's hand.
"Eh? But I … I've only worked for a short while. "Betty was a little embarrassed, but she still took the coin from Chen Ze.
The coin was very cold, but Betty felt very hot.
Chen Ze scratched his head. "After all, you need to make a living, and these things … are useless to me."
Chen Ze still didn't know how to deal with this hot potato. It was not appropriate to sell it or melt it.
As for selling it as an antique? Where would Chen Ze find a suitable country to be the spendthrift of this "ancient civilization"? It was a problem worth considering.
"Okay … Thank you, manager!" Betty held the coin so tightly that Chen Ze could see her nails digging into her palms.
"Okay, see you next time." Chen Ze nodded. He took out his phone and glanced at it. He wanted to see what time it was.
4: 30 in the afternoon was still quite early. Chen Xingchen sent him a few WeChat messages, asking him to come over early tomorrow.
Chen Ze opened WeChat and quickly replied. He received an OK emoji from his sister.
"Hmm? Hmm hmm hmm!?? " Chen Ze was stunned. He raised his head to look at Betty, who was still in the restaurant, and then looked at his phone.
Indeed, just a moment ago, Chen Ze's phone had a signal. 4G was so eye-catching. Chen Ze opened Baidu and browsed the news. It was as smooth as silk.
"Manager, see you next time!" Betty left. Before she left, she waved at Chen Ze.
"Ah … Okay, okay …" Chen Ze nodded blankly. He felt that the truth he believed in had been greatly impacted.
All this time, Chen Ze had been used to the problem of not being able to connect to the internet when there were guests from the other world. He was also prepared to be a primitive person who bid farewell to modern society.
However, just a moment ago, Chen Ze's phone connected to the internet again.
"What's going on?" Chen Ze took out his phone and looked at it. Now that Betty was not around, he was still connected to the internet. To be precise, this was normal.
Chen Ze touched his chin. He felt that the problem might have occurred when Betty was about to leave. After all, when Lavra came to eat, Chen Ze remembered that there was no signal.
"What did I do just now? Or what did Betty do? " Chen Ze thought for a moment. He remembered that he had just given Betty this week's salary, although it was paid in advance.
"Could it be because Betty accepted the gold coin?" Chen Ze was a little confused. However, it was obvious that no one would explain to him. Therefore, Chen Ze could only continue to be confused.
"Mo Fei's restaurant needs to pay for traffic?" Chen Ze felt a deep sense of malice.
