Rebirth 07: Starting with Saving a Bankrupt Restaurant

Dan Wei opened his mouth, thought for a moment, and then said, "I've already spoken to our boss. And don't underestimate this restaurant just because it's a small eatery. It's much cleaner than other shops, and our boss's food is absolutely delicious."

Shan Wei explained his restaurant.

Ren Xuan pouted, her thoughts written all over her face; she was a million times unwilling and full of disdain.

"If I had known you were going to bring me to a place like this, I would have preferred not to come at all. I have no idea what's so good about a restaurant like this that you can find anywhere."

Dan Wei wiped the sweat from his forehead, unsure of what to say.

Despite her complaints, Ren Xuan still started walking.

Seeing this, Shan Wei breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly went to Ren Xuan and led her into the restaurant.

"Is this your boss's cat? It's filthy."

Ren Xuan looked at the rice balls by the door and asked.

Shan Wei scoffed, "It's just a cat."

Ren Xuan, upon entering the restaurant, began to observe its layout and environment.

"Am I right? It's cleaner than restaurants and stuff outside."

It does feel very clean, unlike other restaurants, and the air is filled with the aroma of food.

Ren Xuan, who hadn't felt hungry yet, subconsciously touched her stomach.

However, Ren Xuan still stubbornly insisted, "It's just so-so."

Shan Wei rubbed his nose and smiled silently.

"Hello." Shi Ying greeted Shan Wei with a smile as he brought his friend back to the store.

Ren Xuan first sized up Shi Ying, and then nodded slowly.

Dan Wei gave Shi Ying a look from behind, signaling her not to take it too seriously.

However, Shi Ying didn't mind. After saying hello, she continued with her work.

"Why don't we sit over by the air conditioner? It'll be cooler there," Shan Wei suggested.

"Is that your boss?" Ren Xuan pointed to Zhou Wendao, who was cleaning up in the kitchen.

Dan Wei looked in the direction Ren Xuan was pointing and then nodded.

"Yes, that's our boss. Let me tell you, our boss's cooking is amazing."

Ren Xuan nodded, and after receiving confirmation, she stopped listening to the rest of the conversation.

I always thought Shan Wei's boss was an older, somewhat slovenly, and greasy-faced uncle.

To my surprise, the restaurant owner was quite young and handsome.

They are particularly pleasing to the eye when they are working diligently.

Ren Xuan suddenly became somewhat interested in the restaurant.

If Zhou Wen knew what Ren Xuan was thinking, he would only be speechless.

"Why don't you sit by yourself for a while? There are still some things to do in the shop."

"What would you like to drink? We have water and beverages," Shan Wei offered solicitously.

The drinks were from the store, and Shan Wei thought it wouldn't be a big deal to take one; if necessary, he could just pay the owner later.

"Hot water is fine."

"Okay. Wait a moment." After saying that, Shan Wei went to get the kettle.

After pouring hot water for Ren Xuan, Shan Wei told her to sit alone for a while.

"How long will it take?"

"It will only take about ten minutes to clean up the store. If you feel bored, you can go outside for a walk."

Ren Xuan nodded. Going outside for a walk was out of the question; with temperatures over 30 degrees Celsius outside, how could she possibly go for a walk?

It wouldn't be good if I got a tan.

So I sat down and took out my phone.

The phone is a pink Motorola K1.

It's small and exquisite in the hand, and the price is actually acceptable to most people, around 2000 yuan.

A few minutes later, Shi Ying came to Ren Xuan's side with the menu.

"Take a look and see what you'd like to eat." Shi Ying was very polite to Shan Wei's friend.

Despite her somewhat cold tone, Ren Xuan still thanked him.

"Just let me know what you want to eat," Shi Ying said.

Ren Xuan nodded, took the menu and started looking at it. After a while, she frowned.

Because I had never heard of many of the dish names listed above.

Dishes like sliced ​​beef and tripe in chili sauce, oil-splashed noodles, and roujiamo (Chinese hamburger)...etc.

Ren Xuan couldn't help but wonder, are these dishes really edible? Are they really delicious?

And then there's fried chicken skin. Even though I know nothing about cooking, is it really okay to eat greasy chicken skin that's been deep-fried?

In the end, Ren Xuan chose the most ordinary tomato and egg noodles.

"Um... I'll just have a bowl of tomato and egg noodles."

"Actually, you could try the shrimp and fish cake noodles; they taste pretty good," Shi Ying kindly suggested.

However, Ren Xuan did not adopt Shi Ying's suggestion.

Shi Ying didn't say anything more.

After the cleaning was finished, Shan Wei sat down next to Ren Xuan, and the two started chatting.

Although it was supposed to be a chat, it was just Wei showing off his affections one-sidedly.

He kept talking and occasionally refilled Renxuan's water glass.

Ren Xuan, however, kept playing with her phone, nodding or responding softly.

Perhaps feeling a little awkward, Shan Wei didn't bother Ren Xuan any longer and started talking to Shi Ying who was standing next to him.

Zhou Wen, who was in the kitchen, also noticed what was happening in the front hall.

I have a general idea of ​​what happened regarding Shan Wei's advance payment of wages a few days ago.

On payday, Shan Wei hadn't eaten at any restaurants in the days leading up to it, probably because he was using his salary to go out for a meal or shopping.

However, the money was spent rather quickly, and it had only been a short time before they needed to get an advance on their salary.

I don't even know what they ate or did when they went out.

This morning, Shan Wei mentioned a friend, and Zhou Wen thought that young people are shy and embarrassed to say it's their girlfriend, but now it seems that it really is a friend.

If I'm not mistaken, Shan Wei is currently pursuing Ren Xuan.

Although each person only ordered one main dish, Zhou Wen still served quite a few side dishes, such as cold dishes like sliced ​​beef and tripe in chili sauce and hand-shredded spicy chicken, as well as a pork tripe and chicken soup.

There were quite a few dishes prepared, after all, there were four people, and it felt like eating together at home. Zhou Wen really liked this feeling.

"Boss, this is the friend I told you about," Shan Wei introduced to Zhou Wen.

Zhou Wen nodded and then said, "Just eat something and see how it tastes and whether it suits your taste."

Ren Xuan nodded and then began eating the tomato and egg noodles in front of her.

He took a bite of noodles, his face expressionless, but his heart was in turmoil.

This tomato and egg noodle soup seems completely different from any other tomato and egg noodle soup I've ever had.

The tomato flavor is very strong and very fragrant.

Ren Xuan didn't say anything, but silently sped up her eating.
