The waiter twenty-seven years ago said happily: "Well done, sir, I guarantee your satisfaction!" He shouted: "A table full of fine wine!"
Shi Dun'er was a little uneasy and said: "Brother...brother, I just want to eat noodles. I don't want a banquet..."
Chu Zhongan nodded lightly and said: "Give me, my little brother, another big bowl of shredded pork noodles!" He looked at Shi Dun'er's strong body and said again: "Three bowls!"
The waiter immediately agreed.
Shi Dun'er said with a bitter face: "Brother, I have no money..."
Chu Zhongan smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have..."
"But I don't have the money to pay you back..." Shi Dun'er said timidly.
"I bought you food, you don't have to pay it back!" Chu Zhongan said nonchalantly.
Shi Dun'er looked very embarrassed when he heard this and said: "Brother, my mother said that you can't accept favors in vain. Otherwise, I can work for you. As long as I am full, I will have plenty of strength!"
Chu Zhongan shook his head with a gentle smile and said: "I have no work to do, so just feel free to eat. Don't worry about a meal..."
Shi Dun'er showed a moved expression and said solemnly: "Brother, I will definitely repay you!"
Chu Zhongan waved his hands gently and said nothing.
Soon the waiter in the store kept bringing all kinds of food, and a table with big fish and meat was set up. At Chu Zhongan's signal, three large bowls of shredded pork noodles were placed in front of Shi Dun'er.
Shi Dun'er's eyes widened as he stared at the table of food, but he didn't move his chopsticks immediately.
Chu Zhongan smiled and said: "Shi Dun'er, what are you waiting for? Eat quickly if you are hungry!"
"Brother, eat first!" Shi Dun'er still didn't start eating, but looked at Chu Zhongan and said.
Chu Zhongan stood up, picked up the jug and poured two glasses of wine. He handed one glass to Shi Dun'er and said, "Can you drink it?"
Shi Dun'er shook his head and said: "I haven't drunk it before..."
"Try?" Chu Zhongan asked.
Shi Dun'er nodded and picked up the wine glass to drink, but Chu Zhongan quickly stopped him.
"You eat first, it's not good to drink when you're hungry."
Shi Dun'er obediently put down his wine glass and looked at the food, which he still hadn't eaten.
Chu Zhongan was helpless. He returned to his seat, picked up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth.
When Shi Dun'er saw that Chu Zhongan was eating, he no longer hesitated. He picked up the noodles in front of him and ate them fiercely. The look of wolfing them down surprised the diners and waiters on the side.
One bowl, two bowls, three bowls, Shi Dun'er ate up the noodles in front of him like a wind and a cloud.
Shi Dun'er looked like he still had something to say.
Chu Zhongan smiled and said: "There are no noodles, let's eat vegetables..." He watched Shi Dun'er eat without moving his chopsticks.
Shi Dun'er was a little hesitant. He thought for a while and looked at Chu Zhongan gratefully before starting to eat the food.
After taking a bite of the meat, his eyes lit up and he couldn't help but say, "It's so delicious. I haven't eaten such delicious meat in a long time!"
"If it's delicious, eat more..." Chu Zhongan showed an encouraging look.
Shi Dun'er saw that Chu Zhongan didn't eat and said quickly: "Brother, you should eat too!"
Chu Zhongan shook his head and said: "I have eaten it, these are all yours..."
Shi Dun'er lowered his head and started sobbing.
Chu Zhongan was startled, and he asked doubtfully: "Shi Dun'er, what's wrong with you?"
Shi Dun'er raised his head, hurriedly wiped the tears on his face with his sleeve and said: "Brother, you are so kind to me. No one has been so kind to me since my mother left. Shi Dun'er doesn't know how to repay you... "
Chu Zhongan had a complicated expression. This poor child aroused his sympathy. He sighed and said, "Eat in peace, the days will be better in the future!"
He has decided to secretly send someone to help Shi Dun'er, at least to ensure that the child will no longer starve.
Shi Dun'er suddenly picked up the wine glass and poured the wine down his throat. Because he drank too quickly, the spicy stimulation made him cough violently. He ignored the discomfort and grinned and said: "Brother, I'd like to toast you!" "
This silly kid has only seen others toast, but he doesn't know that he should toast first and then drink.
Chu Zhongan did not blame Shi Dun'er, but became more and more sympathetic to this poor child. He also picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, then said: "Eat, the food will be cold after a while."
Shi Dun'er nodded heavily and continued to make waves.
Chu Zhongan just sipped his wine silently.
Shi Dun'er's appetite was huge, and eating three bowls of noodles did not affect him at all from continuing to eat other dishes. In a short time, he had swept away all the dishes on the table. Except for some bones, he even had vegetable soup. None of them were spared.
Chu Zhongan thought he had a big appetite, but compared with Shi Dun'er, it was nothing. He swallowed and said, "Are you full?"
Shi Dun'er said timidly: "Brother, I don't want to eat vegetables anymore. Can I have a few more bowls of noodles? Just plain noodles!"
Naturally, Chu Zhongan would not refuse a few bowls of noodles. He immediately waved to the waiter and said, "Please serve more shredded pork noodles to my little brother. Put more shredded pork!" He looked at Shi Dun'er and asked, "How many more?" bowl?"
Shi Dun'er said a little embarrassedly: "Can I have three more bowls?"
Before Chu Zhongan could answer, the waiter opened his mouth in a panic and said, "Sir, I see that this young man has already eaten a lot. Can he handle another three bowls of noodles? Don't worry about it. I'll be fine by then." I can’t afford to lose my life!”
Chu Zhongan also looked at Shi Dun'er with some hesitation and said: "Shi Dun'er, you can eat anytime. I will not let you go hungry again in the future. Please answer honestly, are you full?"
Shi Dun'er said very seriously: "Brother, I eat a lot and haven't eaten for several days. To tell you the truth, I may not be full even if I eat five bowls now..."
Chu Zhongan was shocked but relieved when he heard this. This time he directly asked the waiter for five bowls of shredded pork noodles with extra meat.
The waiter couldn't resist them, so he had to go to the kitchen.
After a while, five steaming bowls of shredded pork noodles were placed in front of Shi Dun'er.
The eyes of the surrounding diners and waiters were all focused on Shi Dun'er. They didn't believe that Shi Dun'er could still eat these five bowls of noodles. This was no longer a rice bowl, it was simply a bottomless pit.
Shi Dun'er was not polite this time. He seemed to like these bland noodles more than the delicious delicacies. He still picked up the big bowl and started eating as if he was hungry. The five bowls of noodles were all eaten again. .
The people around him cast shocked looks, as if they were looking at monsters.
Shi Dun'er put down the last big bowl and said with a still unfinished expression: "I'm full, I feel so comfortable..."
Chu Zhongan swallowed again. He felt a little full just looking at Shi Duner's wind and the remaining clouds.
Shi Dun'er looked at Chu Zhongan with a very grateful expression. He suddenly stood up and bowed towards Chu Zhongan. Because he was too close to the table and the angle of his bow was too large, he almost knocked the table over.
Chu Zhongan stood up quickly and said: "Shi Dun'er, what are you doing? Sit down quickly, I have something to ask you!"
Shi Dun'er didn't get up. He was almost pressed against the dishes on the table. His motionless look was a bit funny.
"Brother, you saved Shi Dun'er's life. If you don't dislike it, my life will be yours! My mother said that I should repay my kindness!" Shi Dun'er still bowed and said solemnly.
However, Shi Dun'er's silly look caused laughter from the people around him, but he didn't take it at all, as if he was used to it.
Chu Zhongan didn't want to attract too much attention, so he had to say sternly: "Shi Dun'er, sit down and talk!"
Hearing Chu Zhongan's somewhat angry tone, Shi Dun'er suddenly panicked. He quickly sat on the chair, with a nervous expression as if he was afraid that Chu Zhongan would blame him.
Chu Zhongan lamented in his heart, and his tone softened and he said: "Shi Dun'er, it's just a meal. I don't want you to work for me, but I want to ask you something..."
Shi Dun'er showed an incomprehensible expression, he frowned and said: "Brother, just ask, I will tell you everything!"
"Are your parents still there?" Chu Zhongan asked the first question.
Shi Dun'er looked sad and shook his head: "They are all dead. I have never seen my father. He has been dead for a long time. My mother said he was a great hero, and my mother has been dead for many years."
Sure enough... Although Chu Zhongan had already made a guess, the answer he got from Shi Dun'er still made him even more pitiful for the young man in front of him.
"Shi Dun'er, let me ask you, how did you live after your mother passed away?" Chu Zhongan put away the pity in his heart and continued to ask.
Shi Dun'er thought for a while and said, "I don't know what happened. At first, neighbors always gave me some food, but it was too little to fill my stomach. Later, they took me to Boss Qian's shop. "
He said with a grateful look on his face: "Boss Qian is such a good man. When I worked for him, he gave me so much food that I felt full. However, he seemed to think that I was too good at eating, and sometimes he would eat too much. Can say a few words to me."
"If I didn't have money from my boss in the past few years, I would have starved to death a long time ago. How could I have grown so strong, hehe." Shi Dun'er raised his arms in a heartless gesture that he thought was heroic.
Chu Zhongan frowned slightly and said, "What happened next? Why are you hungry?"
Shi Dun'er sighed and said, "I don't know who Shopkeeper Qian offended. He was captured by bad people. Those people were so bad. They took away all the food in the store. I think they want to arrest me too. They asked me a lot of questions that I didn’t understand, and I couldn’t answer them, so they left without knowing why…”
"Shi Dun'er, what kind of clothes do those bad guys wear?"
Shi Dun'er began to describe it. He said a lot of things, and his description was very confusing. After talking for a long time, Chu Zhongan finally made a judgment from his words.
"The people who captured this shopkeeper Qian were officials from Dashun's government. It seems that shopkeeper Qian is not as kind as Shi Dun'er said..." Chu Zhongan thought to himself.
Chu Zhongan continued: "Shi Dun'er, I feel that you are very powerful. It should be easy to beat away those children. Why did you let them bully you? Are you fainting from hunger?"
Shi Dun'er scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "I just have some brute strength, how can I be as powerful as my elder brother said..."
