Under Qin Qin's disdain, Jiang Cheng was pulled into the small restaurant by her. As soon as the two of them entered the restaurant, a handsome young man came out from behind and shouted with a smile on his face, "Beautiful lady, you've come to visit my small restaurant again today. It's really my humble shop's honor! Hey, you even brought your boyfriend today? "
Qin Qin laughed and scolded, "Zhu Xiao Qiang, shut your stupid mouth. Quick, give me a plate of minced meat and eggplant. Oh, right, Jiang Cheng, what do you want to eat?"
Jiang Cheng looked at the menu on the wall and said, "Then let's have a spicy roasted pork!"
After that, the two picked a clean table and sat down. The owner of the restaurant, Zhu Xiao Qiang, saw them sitting down and quickly poured two cups of water. When he put down the cups, Jiang Cheng found a strange phenomenon. When Zhu Xiao Qiang was pouring water, he didn't hold a cup in one hand and a kettle in the other. Instead, he only used his right hand to pour water and his right hand to hold water. He had to go back and forth twice to finish the two cups of water.
After pouring water for Jiang Cheng and Qin Qin, Zhu Xiao Qiang went into the kitchen to get busy. Since it wasn't time for dinner yet, there weren't many people in the restaurant. The others were already sitting at the table and eating. There were a few young people eating, and while they were eating, they took out their phones and tapped randomly on the screen. It seemed that they were very busy.
When Jiang Cheng saw this, he shook his head in confusion. He realized that young people nowadays had some bad habits. For example, they often hunched their backs when sitting, liked to drink soda when eating, played with their phones and scrolled through Weibo. More often than not, during gatherings with friends, everyone would lower their heads and play with their phones while eating. They didn't even communicate much.
Jiang Cheng pointed to the back of the restaurant and whispered in Qin Qin's ear, "Qin 'er, who is your classmate?"
Qin Qin replied in a low voice, "My classmate is disabled. His left hand was amputated in the hospital because of an accident, so he only has one right hand. But don't underestimate him, he is very smart. He has a wife now, and the two of them are running this small restaurant. Although they don't make much money, it's enough for their family. I accidentally saw him when I was driving here last time. He invited me to dinner very warmly, and I couldn't refuse, so I had a simple meal here."
"So after you knew the situation, you took the initiative to give our company's bento business to him!" Jiang Cheng ridiculed.
Seeing that Jiang Cheng seemed to be a little angry, Qin Qin pouted and said coquettishly, "I helped him because he was in a difficult situation. Besides, his wife's food is really delicious, and it's not expensive. Anyway, our company orders a lot of bento every day, so I just gave it to them."
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "Well, you did the right thing. Although you did it through the back door, I admire this young man very much. He is strong and unyielding, and he started his own business. Hey, did you notice that he seems to be the only restaurant in this area?"
Qin Qin nodded and said, "Well, I noticed it a long time ago, but his business is not particularly good, because the people who work in this area basically go home for lunch every day. Only some white-collar workers and people from other places eat here. I also saw that his business is not good, so I took the initiative to give our company's bento business to him. Jiang Cheng, you won't blame me, right?"
Jiang Cheng saw that she seemed to be blaming herself, so he quickly held her hand and comforted her, "Not at all, I very much agree with your approach. The heavens move vigorously, and a gentleman should strive to improve himself. I admire this classmate of yours very much!"
Jiang Cheng used the word 'admire' twice in a row, and Qin Qin knew that Jiang Cheng really did not look down on Zhu Xiao Qiang. Qin Qin and Zhu Xiao Qiang had been classmates for six years, and she knew his character very well. Otherwise, she wouldn't have given the company's fast food business to him without bargaining.
Not long after, a simple looking woman came out of the kitchen with two bowls of rice. She smiled as she placed the bowls in front of Jiang Cheng and Qin Qin, and then gestured with her hands. Jiang Cheng was puzzled, but Qin Qin immediately picked up the spoon and took a bite, then gave the woman a thumbs up and smiled, "Thank you, Sister Xiao Yun, today's eggplant is great!"
After seeing Qin Qin's happy smile, Xiao Yun also gestured and gave Qin Qin a thumbs up. Jiang Cheng understood, so this Xiao Yun was Zhu Xiao Qiang's wife, a mute woman!
Jiang Cheng didn't ask much, he picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of black braised pork, and put it in his mouth. A sweet taste immediately spread in his mouth, and Jiang Cheng didn't feel the greasy taste of the meat at all. He quickly gave Qin Qin a thumbs up and said, "Your classmate's cooking, there's nothing to say, I have to give it a thumbs up!"
Qin Qin had a victorious look on her face, and said proudly, "Now you know how right my decision was, it's definitely worth it for our company to order their lunchboxes!"
Just as they were talking, they saw Zhu Xiao Qiang and his wife carrying a large basket of fast food boxes out. When they passed by Jiang Cheng and Qin Qin, Zhu Xiao Qiang smiled and said, "Old classmate, you and your boyfriend eat slowly, I'll go deliver food to your employees first!"
Qin Qin also warmly replied, "That's fine, be careful on your bike!" Qin Qin reminded.
On the other side, Zhu Xiao Qiang's wife, Xiao Yun, also had a concerned look on her face. After helping Zhu Xiao Qiang put the basket on the tricycle parked in front of the restaurant, she kept gesturing to him, telling him to be careful.
Although it was just the beginning of spring, the weather was still very cold, but Zhu Xiao Qiang was only wearing two thin pieces of clothing. He opened the tricycle's lock while sweating profusely, waved to Xiao Yun behind him and said, "Alright, you go back to greet the customers, I'll be back after delivering the fast food. Oh right, my old classmate, don't charge them for the meal, this meal is on me."
Xiao Yun nodded her head to show that she understood. Zhu Xiao Qiang also knew that this mute wife of his was not a profiteer. She would definitely listen to his words. He relaxed and stepped on the newly bought tricycle and set off!
Xiao Yun watched as Zhu Xiao Qiang set off, before hurrying back to the restaurant. This was because some customers had just entered the restaurant. Xiao Yun jogged into the restaurant and gestured to a few burly men who had just entered. From time to time, she would point to the menu on the wall, meaning to ask the customers what they wanted to eat.
The few burly men each ordered a meat dish that was more expensive, and all of them had asked for two portions. They then found a table and sat down. When they saw Qin Qin sitting beside Jiang Cheng, their eyes couldn't help but light up at the same time. They stared at Qin Qin's beautiful figure from behind.
Qin Qin also seemed to feel the evil gazes of the group of people. She couldn't help but feel goosebumps all over her body, and a chill ran down her spine. She leaned towards Jiang Cheng and said in a low voice, "Jiang Cheng, let's hurry up and leave after eating!"
Jiang Cheng also saw the few men who entered the restaurant later. He discovered that each of them was more than 1.75m tall, and the tallest one was close to 1.9m tall. They were wearing very ill-fitting clothes, and the shoes on their feet made Jiang Cheng very suspicious. This was because in this weather, no one would wear a pair of slippers on the street, and there were more than one here, there were three!
Jiang Cheng seemed to have discovered something. He had just carefully observed the surrounding environment. This was an old city, and the houses nearby were old houses that were decades old. There were not many residents, and most of them were old men and women. Not far from this area was the development zone where Jiang Cheng's new company was located. But for some reason, when the development zone was under construction, this old city was not demolished.
Because it was a residential area, the roads were not very crowded, and there were not many vehicles passing by. Jiang Cheng looked at the three strong men sitting in the chairs behind him and couldn't help but feel a little worried. He whispered in Qin Qin's ear, "After you finish eating, hurry up and get in the car. I'll sit here for a while!"
Qin Qin asked in surprise, "What's wrong? Is there anything else? "
Jiang Cheng said, "It's okay. Listen to me. Just get in the car later. No matter what happens later, call the police!"
Qin Qin was scared. It was not easy for her to come out to eat with Jiang Cheng. How could Jiang Cheng tell her to call the police? She glanced at the three men behind her and seemed to know something. Then she nodded at Jiang Cheng to show that she understood.
The two of them quickly finished eating. Just as they finished eating, Xiaoyun came out of the kitchen with two servings of rice. When the three men saw the fragrant rice, their eyes couldn't help but light up at the same time. The corners of their mouths were drooling, as if they hadn't eaten for a long time.
Xiaoyun went back and forth three times in a row and served the six servings of rice that the three of them had ordered. Just as she was about to turn around and enter the kitchen, Jiang Cheng suddenly said to Xiaoyun, "Sister Xiaoyun, help me pour a cup of boiling water! This time, I'm really thirsty after eating this pot of meat! "
Xiaoyun didn't understand. She smiled and nodded. She turned to the table and poured a cup of boiled water for Jiang Cheng. Then she got up and cleaned up the tables that had just been eaten.
At this time, Qin Qin had already finished wiping her mouth. She took the car key and went back to the car first. Only Xiaoyun, Jiang Cheng, and the three strong men were left in the restaurant.
