"This guest's daily set menu, teriyaki chicken drumsticks, sugar pickled tomatoes, potato stew and winter melon ball soup." Liu Huaxing said, put the tray in front of Zhang Xinyi, and added after a pause: "Yes Paying for it? Don’t think that you can eat free rice just because you have a relationship with our family, it doesn’t exist.”

"I know!" Zhang Xinyi pursed her lips and said angrily, then looked at the big chicken leg on the plate, "Is this the whole chicken leg? Such a big one...is equivalent to half a chicken. This set meal only sells for twenty-five, won't you lose money?"

"Barely, I can make a little money." Yang Xiaoxiao said with a smile, "The chicken legs are also okay, not that expensive. We bought the chicken legs on the mobile app, and the price is not very expensive. This one is only twelve yuan."

"That's it..." Zhang Xinyi said, took a bite of the chicken thigh, and then said with a healed expression: "This tastes good with food... It feels like eating at home."

"That's right, you usually eat at our house." Liu Huaxing glared at her.

"It's not like I go every day..." Zhang Xinyi muttered, took a bite of potato stew, then took a slice of candied tomato, and drank a mouthful of winter melon soup, and sighed contentedly: "Ah... there are sweet, salty and sour Some are spicy, some are heavy and some are light, it’s really good.”

"Hmph, it's the set meal I wanted." Yang Xiaoxiao said with a proud smile.

"Huh? Brother, you and your sister-in-law are both out to work, what about Yuxi? Is she home alone?" Zhang Xinyi frowned and asked, "What about her eating? You won't go back at noon to see?"

"Her grandma is watching her at home today." Liu Huaxing explained, "We are going to send her to the kindergarten in September, and she will have lunch in the kindergarten at noon, and we will pick her up after closing here, just right. "

"Really? Yuxi is going to kindergarten too, so I'm worried that she will be bullied..." Zhang Xinyi said worriedly.

At this time, it was almost twelve o'clock, and another doorbell came from the door, and Yang Xiaoxiao immediately shouted: "Welcome!"

"Hey, when did you open a restaurant?" This is a somewhat sloppy old man, wearing a worn-out white vest and military trousers, with dark skin and a military cap. Although his back is a bit bent, his eyes are still piercing. god.

"It's newly opened today, sir." Yang Xiaoxiao replied with a smile.

"Is there any wine? Beer and white wine?" The uncle asked while wiping his sweat, and Liu Huaxing smiled and said, "Yes, there is also a set meal with drinks."

"Okay, as long as there is wine..." the uncle said, wiped his sweat, came to the bar and sat down, without looking at the menu, he asked: "What do you have in this wine set meal? How much is it?" ?”

Liu Huaxing reckoned that the uncle was probably illiterate, so he didn't look at the menu. Yang Xiaoxiao replied cheerfully: "Peanuts, stewed beef, duck neck, cucumber, stewed lotus root, and fried chicken nuggets, each has a small portion. If it is served with beer, it is 25 yuan a portion. Liquor is 30 yuan a piece. The drink set menu is different every day, and hot wine will be provided in winter."

"Oh? I understand the mind of a drunkard. It seems that the person who designed this menu is also a drunkard." The old man joked with a smile.

Yang Xiaoxiao blushed, not daring to admit that she designed it, and continued: "Well, sir, do you want a copy?"

"Hmm... can beer and liquor be halved?" the old man fanned the wind with the cattail fan in his hand, "it's really hot..."

"Okay." Liu Huaxing replied, "Then I'll give you a bottle of canned beer, and then pour you a glass of white one? Let's set a middle price, twenty-seven yuan is reasonable, right?"

"Okay, hurry up." The old man said, sighing, "Oh, it's really hot today."

"Master, I'll turn up the air conditioner for you." Yang Xiaoxiao grabbed the remote control and smiled.

Soon, Liu Huaxing brought over the old man's drink set menu. The stewed beef, duck neck, and stewed lotus root are all ready-made, and the cucumber and fried chicken can be prepared in a few minutes. So it doesn't take much time.

A full plate of appetizers, each dish is made with a small amount but a large quantity. For example, the stewed beef is ten slices of beef, but each slice is not too thick, and the fried chicken is also a bite size of six or seven yuan. The chicken nuggets are very suitable for drinking.

"Ah!" The old man picked up a few peanuts with his fingers and ate them, then took a sip of the beer and let out a long sigh of intoxication: "It's much cooler, it's so comfortable to drink a glass of beer in this hot weather." !"

"How old is your old man? Is it okay to drink like this?" Liu Huaxing asked curiously while washing his hands.

"Humph, I'll be eighty-six this year." The old man smiled triumphantly, picked up his wine glass, and said with a smile in Mandarin with an obvious dialect of Beichang City: "My old man followed the Long March of the Red Army back then. I also joined the army with my old man, and then followed to participate in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. Here, look, I was shot here."

As he said that, the old man lifted up his vest and let them look at the muzzle on his stomach: "At that time, a shot passed through me. At that time, I was only focused on fighting, so I didn't notice it. Later, our squad leader told me , I found out that my stomach was full of blood..."

The old man talked about his past while drinking, Liu Huaxing smiled bitterly: "You are so old, you should drink less alcohol? Drinking like this is not good for your health. Don't the family members say?"

"I've already lived to this age. I still care about life and death. I just want to live happily before I die." The old man smiled disapprovingly, took another sip of beer, and then picked up a piece of beef to eat down.

"Master, you really can think about it..." Zhang Xinyi smiled wryly at the side, and the uncle nodded in satisfaction: "That's right! Like I live to this age, you let me stay in the hospital or in the nursing home, full of illnesses, and surgery to make me crippled Unbearable, and finally died sick and without dignity? Hey, I would rather drink and drink here until I die."

"That's not what the uncle said... We will be in trouble if you drink to death with us." Liu Huaxing smiled wryly.

"Hey, it's okay, everyone in my family knows my temper." The old man said disapprovingly.

Then, the old man told them about his father's long march, how many people were eaten by the invisible swamp when they crossed the grass, and how hungry they were to eat bark during the 20,000-mile long march Eat grass roots.

There were no other customers in the store at the moment, and Liu Huaxing, Yang Xiaoxiao, and Zhang Xinyi were together, listening with gusto.

"It was really difficult at that time, I was hungry. My old man's squad leader tried to fish, and in that pond, he really caught one or two, and then used that fish...not even a little bit bigger The fish, together with grass roots and wild vegetables, is boiled into fish soup." Speaking of this, the old man took a sip of his white wine and sighed, "My old man has always told me that he has eaten the best food in his life. It's the fish soup. Don't give me any oil or salt, just a bowl of clear soup, and he has always liked to drink fish soup in his life."

Immediately afterwards, the old man sighed: "It's a pity, the last squad leader did not walk the 20,000 miles smoothly. At that time... a lot of people were sacrificed, and they were all good people. Now it's all right, life is good Ah, nothing is missing..."

The old man said a little sadly, wiped away his tears and continued to drink.

At this time, there was another crisp bell sound at the door, and a seven or eight-year-old girl stood timidly at the door and looked inside. Liu Huaxing smiled and said: "What's the matter, this little Gege, is he here for dinner?"

"How much is the cheapest meal here?" The little girl asked a little timidly, holding her small wallet with her hands.

Liu Huaxing took a look at the girl. Although the clothes on her body and the schoolbag behind her were not very expensive, they were not shabby either. So the child's family conditions should not be so poor that they couldn't afford to eat, but the fact that the parents were eating at noon. They are not at home, and the school does not have a cafeteria, so the child can only come out to eat.

"Do we have a children's set menu? You can eat a lot for five yuan." Yang Xiaoxiao said with a smile.

"Is there any cheaper one?" The little girl asked timidly, Yang Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said, "There are fried rice with eggs for two yuan."

"Then, then I want a bowl of fried rice with eggs." The little girl felt relieved, and then moved to the bar.

However, Liu Huaxing's restaurant's bar counter is designed for adults, and it's a bit high for children, so Yang Xiaoxiao went over and brought her a cushion under her buttocks so that she could sit in front of the bar counter.

"Kid, can't your parents cook for you at noon at home?" Liu Huaxing asked while preparing materials.

"Dad has to go to work at noon and can't come back..." The little girl said aggrievedly, "Dad has to work several jobs every day and it's very hard. I told him that I will buy my own food..."

"Where's your mother?" Yang Xiaoxiao asked curiously.

The little girl lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Mom... Mom thought Dad didn't have any money, so she left when I was very young and never came back. Dad raised me alone..."

Liu Huaxing's nose was sour, and he couldn't help but lamented that his temperament had changed drastically after having a daughter, and he couldn't listen to this kind of story at all, and felt a twinge of pain in his heart when he thought of what happened to his own daughter.

"It's okay, it's okay, if you eat enough at our house, Dad won't worry about you." Liu Huaxing said with a smile.

"Hmm..." The little girl replied, and then took out two coins from her small purse and put them on the bar.

"I'll charge you two yuan." Yang Xiaoxiao said with a smile, "Wait a minute, I'll be right away."

Liu Huaxing then took the ingredients to the kitchen and started frying rice. In fact, their egg fried rice is also four yuan, but the child’s meal size will be slightly adjusted, so she will be charged a little less. In addition, Liu Huaxing also gave her a gift. The ham sausage is fried together in the rice, and after the frying, there is actually a large plate, not to mention children, adults can also eat 80% full.

"Come on, it's ready." Liu Huaxing put the fried rice in front of the child with a smile, and sighed secretly: It's no wonder that this business can make money.

The little girl grabbed the spoon and started to eat seriously. Although she is not as cute and sweet as Liu Yuxi, and her skin is not particularly fair, but the seriousness of her eating is exactly the same as Liu Yuxi.

Liu Huaxing couldn't help but began to miss his daughter, so he planned to make a video call with his mother to see how Liu Yuxi was doing when he was washing the pot.

"Come on, daughter, you can eat this." The old man who was drinking beside him smiled and picked up a piece of fried chicken and put it on her plate. The little girl looked at the old man, then lowered her head and bowed deeply: "Thank you, Grandpa."

"I also have stewed meat here, would you like a piece?" Zhang Xinyi also gave her the sliced ​​meat in the potato stew.

"Thank you sister." The little girl turned to Zhang Xinyi and bowed again.

"This apple comes with the set meal." Yang Xiaoxiao said, and put two apples cut into rabbit shapes in front of her.

"Thank you, sister." The little girl pursed her lips and smiled at Yang Xiaoxiao, bowed her head and started eating intently.

"She calls me sister..." Yang Xiaoxiao smiled triumphantly at Liu Huaxing, Liu Huaxing just pinched her buttocks, and she was hiding behind the bar anyway, so the customers couldn't see, "Okay, you guys eat, I'll go Wash the pot."

While washing the pot, Liu Huaxing took a video with Lu Jing, ready to see his daughter.

"Mom, where's Yuxi?" Liu Huaxing asked, "Let me see my little fairy."

"Yuxi, come to grandma, daddy wants to see you." Lu Jing waved her hand with a smile, and after a while Liu Yuxi got close to the camera. After seeing Liu Huaxing, a sweet smile appeared on the little girl's face: " dad!"

"Oh, my little peach." Liu Huaxing smiled and waved his hands, "Are you obedient? Have you eaten yet?"

"I've eaten it. The fried noodles made by grandma are delicious." Liu Yuxi nodded with a smile.

"Really? That's good." Liu Huaxing said with a smile, "Then what are you doing now? Watching cartoons?"

"Hmm..." Liu Yuxi nodded, "Where's Mom?"

"Mom is washing the dishes in front. I'll let mom come and video with you later, okay?" Liu Huaxing explained, "You take a nap later, and then play with grandma in the afternoon, and mom and dad will be back soon. Um?"

"Yeah! Yuxi is good." Liu Yuxi nodded solemnly, and Liu Huaxing smiled with satisfaction: "I know, you have always been a good boy, and Dad likes Xiao Mitao the most. Come and kiss Dad."

"Chirp." Liu Yuxi pursed her lips and blew a kiss.

"My little peach is so good. Okay, why don't you give your phone to grandma?" Liu Huaxing said with a smile.

After the mobile phone was transferred to Lu Jing, Lu Jing asked with a smile: "How is the restaurant business?"

"At least there are a few people." Liu Huaxing shrugged and said, "Anyway, there are things to do."

"That's fine, anyway, you are opening a restaurant to find something for yourself." Lu Jingyu said earnestly.

But Liu Huaxing thinks that this restaurant may be a good one, where he can see all kinds of life and taste all kinds of flavors in this world. I have to say that it was a wise choice for Yang Xiaoxiao to choose to open a restaurant.

"Then I'll get to work first. When I'm free, I'll ask Xiaoxiao to video-video with Yuxi too. Mom, take Yuxi to sleep for a while after eating. We'll come back around three or four in the afternoon to see if there are no guests." Liu Huaxing instructed.

"Hey." Lu Jing responded, and hugged Liu Yuxi, "Come, say goodbye to Dad."

"Goodbye, Dad." Liu Yuxi waved her little hand, and turned her eyes to the TV again.
