"It's time to eat." Mag took out the last dish of spicy grilled fish from the oven and said to everyone busy in the kitchen with a smile.
"It will still be very busy tonight. Let's eat more." Mag said to everyone with a smile, and gave Amy a piece of fish.
"Thank you, Father." Amy said happily, poking the fish with her chopsticks, putting her mouth to the edge of the bowl and blowing on it carefully, and then scooping it directly into her mouth.
"Aww - it's delicious." Amy said happily, with a happy smile on her face as she had eaten delicious food.
Everyone also picked up their chopsticks. A large table of delicious food not only filled their stomachs, but also brought an unparalleled delicious experience and provided enough energy for the next work. This was probably the happiest part of the day. It's time.
Reina ate the food in small bites, watching everyone enjoying the food, and occasionally making fun of them. The happy scene made her smile involuntarily.
Although the work intensity is not low, the happiness and satisfaction of working at Maimi's Restaurant are completely unmatched by previous jobs, and I get enough respect here.
After dinner, the busy and long evening business hours began.
The hot pot area of Maimi Restaurant has become as popular as the restaurant area. On a cold winter day, there is probably no happier thing than gathering a few friends to sit around the warm hot pot and cook spicy hot pot together. .
Reina is in charge of the hot pot area and is busy in front of the pots almost all night long. Pots of hot pot bottoms are prepared and cooked in her hands, and then served to tables one after another, becoming the source of delicious hot pot.
During the free time, Reina stood against the wall, picked up a towel and wiped the sweat on her forehead, then unscrewed the thermos and drank some water.
His eyes fell on Mag who was still busy in front of the stove. He was surrounded by three iron pots, two stew pots, and various kitchen utensils, and food was cooking in each pot.
He is like a god, walking easily between the pots, his movements are smooth and smooth, making people not feel busy at all, but rather like enjoying a wonderful cooking show.
"The new guests at the table want one dish that's super spicy, and there's another table that's already got it, two clear soups, three medium spicy ones, three super spicy ones, and one super spicy one." Yabei Mia walked into the kitchen. , said looking at Rena who was a little distracted.
"Okay... okay." Reina immediately put down the water glass and returned to her work.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the business hours ended and the customers left.
"Thank you for your hard work tonight. I have prepared a fat meal for everyone: durian pizza + beggar's chicken. Let's have some late night snacks before going home and sleeping." Mag walked out of the kitchen with a tray and looked at the people who were cleaning up the restaurant and said with a smile. .
"Boss, if I eat late-night snacks every night, I think I will gain weight soon." Yabei Mia touched her belly, feeling a little distressed.
"Yeah, I think I've started to gain weight. Do you see that my face has become rounder?" Connie stretched out her finger and poked her face, creating a dimple.
Everyone saw that she had indeed become a bit mellower, and couldn't help but smile a bit.
"It looks quite cute." Mag said with a smile.
The sinful late-night snack was still solved amidst the disgusted laughter of everyone, and everyone said goodbye and left.
"good night, see you tomorrow."
Rena, Mia and the others said goodbye, took out the key and opened the door quietly.
The lights were still on in the room, and Karins was sitting at the table, mending a piece of clothing seriously. There was a basket of clothes at her feet.
"Mom, didn't I tell you to rest earlier? Why are you still sewing clothes?" Reina closed the door and looked at Karins with some helplessness and distress.
"I can't sleep, so I'll just do something to kill time and wait for you to come back." Karins tied a knot in the thread, bit it off with her teeth, turned around and pointed to a square on the table next to her with a smile. The small wooden box said: "Someone just sent this wooden box, saying it was from your friend."
"Shanshan?" Reina walked to the table, reached out and picked up the delicate brown wooden box that was slightly larger than a palm. It was a bit heavy to pick up. She was too busy during this period and only saw Shanshan once in the restaurant. Apart from the restaurant, she Apart from the other people, there was only one friend named Shanshan, so she opened the box without thinking too much.
"It's not Shanshan, it's a middle-aged man who put down his things and left." Karins' eyes fell on the box in Rena's hand.
"Middle-aged man?" Reina's hand froze, but the box had already been opened.
Dazzling golden light bloomed from the box. In the box, a gold bracelet inlaid with jasper shone brightly under the light.
"What...what is this? Who gave such a valuable thing?" Carlos walked up and looked at the shining golden bracelet in the box. The golden light flowed on the piece of jasper inlaid like a stream. The waves are general.
And underneath the bracelet was a silver note with one hundred thousand copper coins written on it.
"This..." Reina already knew who sent this box. She closed the lid and put the box back on the table. She said a little unnaturally: "It was sent by someone I don't know. I will send it tomorrow." I will return it, mother, you don’t have to worry.”
Karins looked at Rena, whose eyes were a little evasive, then glanced at the wooden box on the table, sat down at the table, her expression became a little serious and said: "Rena, are you hiding something from me? Who is that man? Why did he give you such an expensive gift?"
"Mother..." Rena looked at Karins, met the stern gaze, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "He is the owner of a hot pot restaurant. I met him on the way back this evening. He asked me to go to his hot pot restaurant. The store manager said that as long as I agreed to go, he would give us a house in a wealthy area and give me 30% of the ownership of the hot pot restaurant."
"How did you reply to him?" Karins's expression did not change at all because of this generous promise, and she still asked sternly.
"I rejected him." Rena replied quickly.
Karins's expression softened slightly, and she pointed to the wooden box beside her and said, "Where's this?"
"I don't know why he sent such a precious gift after I refused, but I will return it early tomorrow morning." Reina shook her head. This was the first time she had seen such a precious gift, and Ten The banknote amounting to 10,000 yuan was a huge amount of money that she had never owned before.
"You did the right thing, child. We can't ask for this money and gifts." Karins nodded, feeling somewhat relieved.
"But if you agree to him, you won't have to work hard to sew clothes anymore." Rena looked at Karins with some distress.
"If you go to his shop, what are you going to do? Help him make money by relying on the hot pots that Mr. Mag taught you? Then what is the difference between this and theft?" Karins looked at Rena, her voice He said in a low voice: "We can be poor, but we can't lose our principles and bottom line, let alone do things without conscience. No matter how much money I get from this, I will never use a copper coin."
"Mother, I understand." Reina's eyes gradually became clear and firm. She reached out to pick up the wooden box from the table and said, "I will send the box back now and make it clear to him."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the door.
