Chapter 172 The Strange Old Granny

The biggest feature of Su Chen's live broadcast room is probably the lack of nonsense and the fast pace.

So after simply thanking Isabel and Big Brother Bang for their gifts, I immediately started today’s live broadcast.

The lucky winner is a netizen named Ms. Hu.

After the connection was established, a woman in her thirties appeared on the screen.

After paying for the gift, the elder sister introduced herself as Hu, the manager of a fast food restaurant.

But even if she didn't introduce herself, one could tell it from her uniform, which was exclusive to fast food restaurants.

【Hey, this ad is pretty good! 】

[It seems to be a chain fast food restaurant. There is one near my home. I will go there to eat tomorrow.]

[However, what is there to calculate at a fast food restaurant? ]

[I'm not talking nonsense. Something must have happened and the anchor needs help. ]

"Sister Hu, what do you want to be?"

"Recently, I met a strange old lady in the store. She always comes late at night."

Through Sister Hu's description, everyone roughly understood the cause of the incident.

It turned out that a strange thing happened in their store in the past month. The cause was a part-time college student clerk in the store. Because part-time jobs are paid by the hour, working part-time in a fast food restaurant is the choice of many nearby college students.

At 11 o'clock that night, there were not many customers in the store. The remaining couples, who were probably going to watch a midnight movie, were still whispering in the store.

At this time, the sliding door opened, and a petite old lady wearing cotton clothes and with a hunchback came in, holding a black umbrella with a curved hook in her hand. She did not order any food, but sat directly at the nearest seat to the store entrance, using the umbrella as a crutch. She sat there motionless, looking out the window.

Sister Hu said that our waiter thought that the old lady was tired and wanted to rest, so out of kindness, he poured a cup of hot water in a paper cup and gave it to the old lady, telling her to rest before leaving.

After hearing this, netizens posted comments and gave likes.

[This waiter is nice and kind, and asked the boss to raise his salary. ]

[Speaking of this, I have to mention Mou Lao. They really serve the emotional value. The hotpots all taste similar, and the homogenization is so serious. The price is not cheap. To put it bluntly, everyone is willing to be served. Now many store owners still think they are the boss and customers have to spoil them. It is only a matter of time for such stores to close down. ]

[There is a pancake stand on the way to the company. The taste is good, so I go there often. Because I buy from it so many times, I have become familiar with the owner. When there are many people, the owner always serves the people behind first. I almost got late once. After that, I never bought from it again. ]

[There is a spicy hot pot shop downstairs from my house. The taste is good, the price varies, the boss is friendly and the business is pretty good. I go there several times a week. The boss lady and I quickly became familiar with each other. One time, just after I sat down, four or five young people came and ordered a lot of dishes. They urged the boss lady to make them quickly. When there were many people in the store, the boss lady showed them that the food was served to the table. They had been eating for 10 minutes, but I was still waiting. I urged the boss lady, and she said that there were many people today and asked me to wait a moment. After I finished making food for them, she would make it for me immediately and asked me to go to the window to get it myself. Since then, I have never been to that shop again.

I have been to Malatang so many times, and the boss has never given me a discount, and I have paid the same amount. We are all customers, so why should I, a regular customer, do it myself? Even new customers who come later than me can eat earlier than me. Is it because I am a regular customer? Why should I spend money to make myself suffer? This is a common problem for many small bosses. Because they are too familiar with you, they forget that you are actually customers and service providers.

[The ones above don't know how to do business. There is a fruit stand near me. The lady boss always gives me a few cents less when I buy fruit, so I always like to buy from her. In the hot summer, she even asked me to drink the mung bean soup she made when I passed by. I had to drink it. In the end, I felt embarrassed and bought dozens of dollars' worth of fruit before leaving.]

When Su Chen heard this, he couldn't help but silently praise it.

I have seen such a news before, an old lady who was so poor that she only had one dollar on her body walked into a fast food restaurant and said to the waiter, "Child, please give me a bowl of soup. I only need the soup. I only have one dollar." Then the waiter served the old lady a rich meal and told her that they didn't want her money, but knew she was hungry, so she could eat it.

Perhaps a small action that many people do unintentionally, once noticed by everyone, may become a role model and an act worthy of praise.

So when Su Chen heard Sister Hu talk about the actions of their clerk, he admired her very much, even though she was just a young student and even though it was just an inconspicuous cup of hot water, it warmed the hearts of everyone who knew about it.

Sister Hu went on to say that after the old lady took the water, she thanked the girl.

From that day on, the old lady would appear in the store on time almost every day at this time, and every time the girl would pour her a free cup of hot water just like the first time. However, she said that every time the old lady left, she found that the water had not been touched when she was cleaning the table.

[Maybe the old lady wasn't thirsty, but she couldn't bear to refuse the clerk's kindness. ]

[However, the old lady goes there every day, neither eating nor drinking. What is her purpose? ]

[Is she waiting for someone? But after waiting for so many days, why didn't she think of other ways? ]

[Is it Alzheimer's? He just can't remember the way home. Old people will gradually lose their memory.]

[I don’t think so. If I don’t remember, how can I get to the store on time every day?]

【.】

The netizens in the live broadcast room were discussing heatedly.

When he heard this, Su Chen had some guesses in his mind.

Just out of courtesy, let Sister Hu finish her story first. Sister Hu continued to say that there were several times when the old lady came, if there was someone near the door, she would usually stand outside the door first, and wait until the people at that table left before coming in, giving people the impression that she didn't want to cause trouble to others.

But every time she showed up, it was almost always late at night, and it seemed to have gradually become a tradition. Every time this old lady came, she would always smile at the student girl who first gave her hot water. Sometimes, if that girl did not go to work that day, other colleagues would also bring her hot water, but she would look a little disappointed.

Because it lasted for a long time, the employees in the store got used to the old lady's appearance every day, but no one thought that the old lady who was still walking outside at 11 o'clock late at night seemed a little abnormal.

Until last week, when the student clerk was serving other customers, he was picked on by a male customer and a small dispute ensued.

The old lady was also sitting there at the time. The clerk had a tray in his hand with a cup of hot milk that was originally intended for other customers. However, due to the male customer's provocation, the milk was knocked over and the whole cup of milk splashed on the old lady's face.
