Chapter 39: Exhausted Kitchen Staff

"Sorry, not convenient."

Chen Jianhai refused without any consideration.

Kidding...

You want me to find someone to eat with you and still save money by sharing a table with me?!

Impossible!

"Okay. Sorry to bother you."

Ning Youyou turned around and pulled Liu Qinglu to find a waiter to open a new pirate ship,

Put down the bag,

Happily went to order food.

There was no entanglement or unhappiness because of the rejection.

After all, this kind of sharing a table,

If it works, it works. If not, forget it~~

"Hai Zi, that girl looks pretty good. Let's sit together. Why are you so excited?"

Xiao Lang spoke while gnawing on a chicken leg.

"Her legs are so short, what's good looking about that?"

Chen Jianhai asked disdainfully.

Xiao Lang paused, raised his head, and looked towards Liu Qinglu's direction.

"Not short at all, and quite slender."

"Heh..." Chen Jianhai looked at Xiao Lang contemptuously,

As if mocking his taste.

"Enjoy your meal. This ship is on me, no need to share with others."

Besides,

Two big men eating, with two girls beside them,

It would be awkward.

It's more comfortable to eat alone.

As they ate, suddenly Xiao Lang's conscience kicked in,

"We're eating and drinking so much, isn't it unfair to Da Bo?"

"Eat. When we go back, I'll make a couple of grilled pancakes for him."

Chen Jianhai picked up the eyepatch from the table and covered his eyes.

Instantly he had the demeanor of a pirate.

Shouting "Whoosh, whoosh" in his mouth,

Happily started playing with the small wooden knife next to the table.

Xiao Lang also took out his phone and took a photo of the table full of delicious food,

Choosing "Da Bo"

Send!

...

On the other side,

After Ning Youyou and Liu Qinglu exchanged names, they quickly got along.

Ning Youyou was naturally cheerful and good at making friends, and in a short time the two girls were chatting happily.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Ning Youyou's eating stopped, her eyes staring straight at something.

"What's wrong, Youyou?" Liu Qinglu asked curiously.

Ning Youyou pouted, "I wondered why that person refused to share a table. Turns out it's that jerk!"

Liu Qinglu: ???

"Who?" Following Ning Youyou's gaze,

"It's the one with the eyepatch who just refused to share a table with us!" Ning Youyou hummed.

"During the day at the pool, he wore goggles so I didn't recognize him."

"Now with the eyepatch, I recognize him."

After saying that,

Ning Youyou told Liu Qinglu what happened at the pool during the day,

Liu Qinglu listened with interest,

Especially when she heard that Chen Jianhai was finally shot down by a group of kids with dolphin bubble guns in the pool,

Even the turtle flipped,

Her beautiful eyes curved with laughter,

Her icy demeanor softened.

"Is this guy really that interesting?" Liu Qinglu smiled.

"Interesting?" Ning Youyou "hmphed," "I think he's just a coward who bullies the weak and fears the strong."

"Otherwise, with so many adults around, he wouldn't pick on little kids."

"You didn't see the look on his face back then,"

"He was so happy to shoot down a kid!"

Ning Youyou looked indignant, exuding a sense of justice.

"I think it's quite good, very real."

Liu Qinglu lightly touched her glasses with her snow-white fingers,

A cold light flashed on the lenses.

...

The buffet at the island is from 6:00 to 9:00 in the evening.

But there are always some customers who want to eat longer. Chen Jianhai doesn't impose strict rules on these matters,

As long as it's not too late and within the staff's workload.

22:25.

All the cleaning work in the kitchen is done.

Xu Bo stumbled on two legs, along with Knife Dian, vegetable preparation, baking, and more than thirty kitchen staff, walked out of the hotel together.

Xu Bo's face collapsed with exhaustion,

Both arms were almost useless,

Hands stiffly clanged to both sides of the body, as if just being split and reshuffled by someone,

Knife Dian tilted a shoulder and walked with one foot high and one low, shaking terribly.

Baking had a stiff neck like it was in a plaster cast, afraid to move too much.

The hands washing the dishes were even more unbearable...

Thirty-plus people, yawning,

Dragging their heavy footsteps.

As if they weren't going to eat, but to the execution ground.

Chen Jianhai was startled from a distance.

Wow!

Are my brothers all in such a miserable state?

How come each one looks like they've just been through a bloody battle, barely coming down from the battlefield.

Damn...

Chen Jianhai's teeth ached as he looked at Xiao Lang Barbecue, just 200 meters away,

And then at his group of miserable brothers,

Alright!

Let's take a taxi then.

...

"Boom... Puff!"

"Puff puff... Boom boom!"

A series of car engines started to rumble, followed by a string of honks.

Outside the barbecue restaurant.

The diners sitting at the small table in front of the door, looking at the row of cars parked there.

Looked baffled.

Who are these people... such a grand scene?!

Could it be that they're here to fight and wreck the place?!

The car doors opened,

Chen Boss quickly jumped out of the car, opening the doors for his employees one by one.

Completely unlike a boss.

Seeing the pitiful hands of the dishwashing guy,

Chen Boss felt sorry and insisted on buying him a pair of 15 yuan plastic gloves to wear.

Can't delay tomorrow's work.

"Mom, that uncle smells so good! Fragrant, like the smell of cake."

A little girl sniffed hard, curiously.

"I think it's just you craving cake."

The woman gently rubbed the girl's cheek, speaking tenderly.

Hearing the little girl's words,

A young man sitting at the table next to hers frowned,

A look of confusion on his face,

As if saying:

"Is it cake?"

"Why do I smell thirteen spices?"

...

A group of people hustled upstairs, entering the private room of the barbecue restaurant,

Fortunately, Chen Boss still had a conscience, having arranged a table of hot meals and soup in advance at Xiao Lang Barbecue,

To reward the kitchen team who had worked hard all day.

At the dining table, Chen Jianhai and Xiao Lang sat at the main seats,

After the waitress served the last plate of stewed fish,

Xiao Lang cleared his throat,

"At Hai Bin Restaurant, compared to the master chefs of five-star hotels,"

Xiao Lang glanced at Xu Bo with a smug look, assuming the posture of a host, speaking affectionately.

"These dishes and such, I won't mention, they're all home-cooked dishes, nothing special!"

"But!"

Xiao Lang picked up a string of grilled pancakes from the table and proudly declared,

"These grilled pancakes have been passed down from my grandfather's generation, and I personally grilled them for everyone."

"The skin is crispy, and the taste is absolutely delicious!"

"Enjoy them well! If you're not satisfied, just let me know, I'll grill more for everyone!"

"Help yourselves!"

"Tonight, Xiao Lang will take care of everything! I won't do anything else but serve you all!"
