Chapter 31 Picture Book

At the beginning of noon, Zou Wenbai came to the restaurant, glanced at the menu on the wall and said, "I want two of each dish."

Zhang Beiting hesitated. They had four stir-fried dishes for lunch, plus the steamed pork with rice flour, which made five kinds. Even if Zou Wenbai saved them for dinner, he couldn't eat so much.

"Buy more to satisfy the waiters." Zou Wenbai said.

Because of his concern, the waiters have been eating secretly these days.

Zhang Beiting said: "I'll prepare it now."

Zou Wenbai smiled and said: "Tell the waiter at the door when it's done and ask them to come and serve it."

The restaurant was full of diners at noon. It was more convenient for them to eat in the inn. Besides, the waiters had to work and take shifts to eat.

Zhang Beiting prepared all the dishes and cut a plate of braised dishes. Then he and Song Yanqing used two large trays to take the dishes to the next inn.

The waiter at the door saw it and hurried to take it, "You are busy in the restaurant, let us go and serve it."

Zhang Beiting gave the food to the waiter and said with a smile: "The braised dishes are for your Mr. Zou."

Zou Wenbai gave them most of the basket of crabs. In return, he should also give something in return.

There were still customers waiting in the restaurant, so he didn't dare to delay and went back immediately.

It was busy until noon, when the stir-fried dishes had already been sold out and a lot of cold noodles and cold noodles had also been sold, and the restaurant was finally idle.

Mrs. Sun and her daughter-in-law were washing in the alley behind. Song Yanqing wiped the stove, washed his hands and said, "There are not many soy sauce and vinegar left. I'll go buy some."

"Mr. Zou sent crabs, and buy a jar of better rice wine." Zhang Beiting said.

In the morning before the restaurant opened and in the evening after the restaurant closed, they went everywhere together, but now that the restaurant was open, someone had to be here to watch, and only one person could go shopping.

No customers came, so Zhang Beiting served a bowl of ice jelly and ate it at the door.

It seemed a little windy in the afternoon, and it was very cool outside.

"I want a bowl of ice jelly, too." Qian Liangcai appeared from nowhere, holding a cloth bag, and put two coins on the table next to Zhang Beiting.

Zhang Beiting put away the copper coins, got up and went into the house to serve a bowl of ice jelly, and added some small dumplings, "Why didn't you bring Dongdong with you today?"

"His mother asked him to practice calligraphy at home today," Qian Liangcai avoided Zhang Beiting's eyes, looked into the shop, and asked, "Where is your husband? Why didn't he enjoy the cool with you?"

Zhang Beiting: "He went shopping."

The two sat at the door, eating ice jelly and chatting casually.

"Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon." Qian Liangcai said.

Zhang Beiting said "hmm".

Qian Liangcai: "Zou Wenbo sent you crabs."

Zhang Beiting turned his head and looked at him, without saying anything.

"I also want to send you something." Qian Liangcai looked up at the green and dense leaves of the big locust tree, and was embarrassed to look at Zhang Beiting.
