Chapter 371 This Damned Desire to Win

"How is it?" Yu Jianguo leaned on the cash register, scratching his ears and looking at the note in the proprietress's hand.

That's right, in order to ensure the fairness and justice of the competition, the proprietress sent a note to everyone, using A and B to indicate two different types of meat. You only need to tickle the tip of the pen to know that everyone likes it. Which one is it.

Compared with Yu Jianguo's anxiety, Yu Jian seemed much calmer. Together with the cleaning lady, she cleaned up the dishes on the table.

Auntie Cleaning whispered to Yu Jian in her not-so-fluent Mandarin: "Xi...you cook delicious!" She couldn't change the name for a while.

Yu Jian also said quietly, "I think so too."

As soon as she looked up with a smile, Yu Jianguo glared at her angrily, and made a gesture of cutting her neck with his hands.Yu Jian shrugged her shoulders, and lowered her head as if she didn't see it.

Yu Jianguo continued to turn to the proprietress who was still counting the tickets, her face full of anticipation: "Did I win?"

The proprietress put down the last note, confirmed the result, and shook her head regretfully at him.

Yu Jianguo was incredulous: "Did I lose?"

The proprietress shook her head calmly again.This time, she didn't want to be a joke anymore, she shook a stack of papers, and announced: "20 customers came to the lunch market, and 10 of them liked the elegant mutton soup made by Jianguo, and they chose Yu Jian's traditional soup. There are also 10 tank meat. From this point of view, in the first half of the game, the two of you tied..."

Yu Jianguo immediately put his heart in his stomach, but he was still a little depressed after thinking about it: "How could so many people like the mutton soup made by the stinky girl?"

This is not what Yu Jian cares about. Although there are 20 customers in the lunch market, but only 19 soups are given out, she raised her hand: "I have objections. What choice did Xiaobao make with his mother?"

Speaking of which, the two chefs did not see this episode.As a child, Xiaobao originally had no right to choose. His mother chose the more overbearing traditional pork meat.But when it was time to vote, the little guy was not happy.Looking at his mother with tears in his eyes, he said, "But I really want to choose this milk pot meat—"

Seeing the stalemate between the two, the proprietress smoothed things over and gave Xiaobao a pen and a piece of paper again, asking him to vote for his true love.Watching the proprietress accept his note, Xiao Bao straightened up a lot when walking.

Once the proprietress said this, it was Yu Jianguo's turn to fight the injustice: "Why, children don't have the right to choose?!" Hmph——Fortunately, the proprietress is strong, otherwise he would lose out to his daughter for no reason?
Yu Jian was taken aback by what he said, and the way she looked at her old father was obviously not right.what happened?What the hell is her father's sudden desire to win?It seems that today I have to stand and dance on top of her head...

There is a good saying: Don't guess what a girl is thinking, you won't be able to figure it out even if you guess it again and again.But it's even more difficult to guess, it should be the mind of a middle-aged man...

Yu Jianguo squatted silently in front of the food basket in the back kitchen, picking and choosing the ingredients for dinner.After a while, he suddenly laughed out loud.

Now he has come to his senses, why is he trying to compete with his daughter, he obviously doesn't want to lose to that young lady!But then again, no matter how powerful this young lady was in ancient times, isn't she still Yu Jianguo's daughter now?Don't we still have to obediently call him "Daddy" when we meet?
Thinking of this, the last breath of turbidity in Yu Jianguo's heart disappeared, and the joy in his heart was beyond words.

When Yu Jian walked in, she saw him squatting there alone, lamenting and smirking, she couldn't help frowning.Could it be that her father was stimulated by something...?
"Father?" Yu Jian patted him on the back carefully and called out softly.

Yu Jianguo turned his head and looked at her kindly: "Hey, what's the matter with my good daughter?"

The gentle tone and voice made Yu Jian shudder in the residual temperature of the naan pit. She took two steps back and said in a trembling voice, "Dad, are you... all right?"

Yu Jianguo became more gentle, pointed at himself and said, "Me? What can I do? Is it packed outside? Are you tired? The illness is not cured yet, but I need to rest..."

After hearing this, Yu Jian took another two steps back and looked at her old father with a look of horror.Oh my god—I'm afraid...it's not menopause, right?Why do you have mood swings?It's really scary! !
……

Before dinner, Yu Jianguo's desire to win suddenly rose again, and he fiddled with the voting mechanism with the proprietress.In order to avoid cheating by the proprietress, a simple ballot box was made during the lunch break.

Patting the cardboard box, which was completely invisible inside, Yu Jianguo smiled meanly: "Ah Jian, just watch, I will definitely win you this time!"

Yu Jian replied perfunctorily: "Yes, yes, you are right!" However, the gesture of putting soup into the teapot did not stop at all, and even added a few more seasonings.

During meal time, some familiar faces came in again, and the taxi driver was one of them.As soon as I entered the room, I took a deep breath, took off the leather gloves I had worn all day, and greeted the proprietress: "I thought you would not open the shop today!"

The proprietress filled his thermos with hot water and complained, "It's because you are afraid that you will not eat out if you are hungry. The little girl came here to cook with illness!"

The taxi driver's face turned pale, but he hugged the thermos in his arms. He felt guilty that she had poked his heart, and his voice became weaker: "It's good to save a little bit!"

How could the proprietress not know about his family situation, and patted him on the shoulder to give him silent encouragement.

The taxi driver seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly reminded her: "Yesterday, I picked up someone at the train station. He came from a foreign country. He asked me about the restaurant as soon as he got on the bus. Are you in trouble?"

The proprietress was taken aback: "No—"

The taxi driver rubbed his head and muttered to himself: "That's weird, you said what does this foreigner ask you about an unknown restaurant?"

The proprietress grinned, "Who knows? By the way, is my restaurant so unknown?"

The driver hurriedly laughed: "No, no, in our hearts, your restaurant is No. 1." He also talked about foreign vocabulary heard on the radio.

Under this joke, the tense atmosphere just now eased a little.The proprietress turned around, avoided the driver's sight and lowered her head, her eyelashes half-down, she was thoughtful...

At this moment, Yu Jian came out of the back kitchen carrying a large bowl of dishes.When passing by the proprietress, she paused, a little surprised at the undecided shock on her face.
