Food: Random stalls, customers chase me all over the country

Chapter 22 - 12? Dollars or Euros?

Li Ru sat in the boss chair, picked up the black coffee and smelled it, but couldn't help frowning.

The taste is still the same, but I don’t feel like drinking it anymore.

The rich aroma of rice still seems to linger in my nose.

Shaking his head slightly, Li Ru still took a sip.

"Bah... so bitter..."

Li Ru looked at the black coffee in his hand, and it didn't seem to have any fragrance at all.

I couldn't help but look up at my lunch box on the cabinet, otherwise...

Li Ru appeared in the tea room again with an expressionless face.

Zhou Ruoqing and Shen Yu had already heated up four servings of rice rolls, placed them on the table and were ready to feast on them.

Li Ru just stood at the door and stared at the two of them without saying a word.

Shen Yu and Zhou Ruoqing felt uncomfortable being stared at by the boss, and they didn't understand what the boss meant. Was it that they were not allowed to eat in the tea room?

Shen Yu asked tentatively: "Boss, how about we go back to our workstations and eat?"

Li Ru shook his head: "No, just eat here."

Shen Yu was a little confused. "Let's eat in the tea room. Why are you looking at us like that? It's as if we've made a mistake."

Zhou Ruoqing also asked tentatively: "Is the smell too strong to bother you?"

Li Ru shook his head: "No, although the smell is indeed strong, it is still quite pleasant."

???

Zhou Ruoqing and Shen Yu looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.

What's going on, boss? Why is he staring at us so intently?

I don’t know. Could it be that he’s attracted to us?

What the hell are you dreaming about? You’ve seen the boss lady before. She’s as famous as a star. Compared to us, she’s just a country girl!

The two exchanged glances, but ultimately couldn't figure out what the boss meant.

Until Shen Yu saw the lunch box that the boss seemed to have accidentally revealed.

I'm boiling, right?

Shen Yu tried again: "Boss, have you not eaten anything? How about... eating something together?"

Zhou Ruoqing looked at Shen Yu in shock. Everyone in our company knows that the boss never eats in the morning. How dare you invite the boss to have breakfast with you?

Aren't you telling your boss that you don't care about him at all? Aren't you afraid that he'll make things difficult for you?
Zhou Ruoqing was absolutely sure that her boss would refuse Shen Yu's invitation.

But what she never expected was that Li Ru actually agreed!

"Well, since you have invited me so sincerely, I will eat with you."

After saying this, he sat down elegantly at the dining table.

???

Zhou Ruoqing looked at Shen Yu in shock, and Shen Yu also looked at Zhou Ruoqing in confusion.

what's the situation?
The sun is rising from the west? The boss actually wants to eat breakfast?!
Li Ru put down his lunch box and said, "What are you still standing there for? Come on and eat. You're welcome."

"Ah? Oh, thank you, boss!"

After hearing Li Ru's words, the two responded quickly.

As soon as the words left her mouth, she felt like something was off. If I remembered correctly, they should have bought the rice noodle rolls. Why was it like the boss was treating them to a meal?
I, Zhuo, have unknowingly realized that the offensive and defensive situations have changed?

Li Ru naturally picked up a piece of rice noodle roll and put it in his lunch box.

The white and translucent rice noodle roll skin looks cute no matter how you look at it, and it looks very tempting when it is covered with bright red sauce.

Especially the aroma that was dominated by the aroma of rice, which made him want to feast on it.

Although Li Ru is also a sea turtle, he does not have the idea that he is superior by using a knife and fork like other sea turtles.

He also used chopsticks.

He put the rice noodle roll into his mouth with chopsticks, and the smooth taste made him fall in love with this breakfast at the first moment.

With a slight force of teeth, the rice skin as thin as a cicada's wing broke, and an extremely rich and delicious taste instantly filled the mouth.

Li Ru felt as if all his taste buds were cheering at this moment.

The rich and sweet taste is incomparable even to the food in Michelin three-star hotels.

He could taste the flavor of scallops.

This food should be steamed. The scallop meat is rich, tender and juicy, which is the unique taste of steaming.

When you take a bite, the scallop meat seems to unfold in your mouth, releasing its most delicious flavor to every corner of your mouth.

The most vivid thing is the aroma of rice.

Not only was the rice aroma not masked by the taste of the scallops, but while maintaining its independent fragrance, it actually made the aroma of the scallops even more intense. This is simply the effect of one plus one equals three.

Li Ru couldn't help but exclaim in admiration: "Delicious, really delicious. I didn't expect you two would be willing to buy such delicious food. It seems that your coffers are quite rich."

Shen Yu was stunned. What does buying some rice rolls have to do with a rich slush fund?
Even if the two of us are poor, we can still afford something worth ten dollars, right?
Li Ru looked at his two subordinates in a daze, thinking that he hadn't explained himself clearly enough, so he explained, "What I meant is that this thing is so delicious, it must be expensive, right? I feel embarrassed to eat something so expensive from you. I'll treat you to a big meal some other time."

Zhou Ruoqing quickly shook her head and said, "Boss, it's okay. This rice noodle roll is very cheap, only 12 yuan per portion. These four portions cost less than 50 yuan in total. Don't worry about it."

A big question mark popped up above Li Ru's head: "You said such delicious food, 12 yuan per serving? US dollars or Euros? Even if it's Euros, it's still quite cheap."

Shen Yu quickly said, "No, boss, it's just RMB. 12 RMB, very cheap."

Li Ru was even more confused: "What is RMB? I've never heard of it before."

"puff……"

Looking at Shen Yu's embarrassed look and the boss's curious face, Zhou Ruoqing almost burst out laughing.

He quickly took a breath and explained, "Boss, this is the Chinese currency we usually spend. We bought it this morning at a food stall in Shuofeng Park. But it seems today is their last day setting up the stall. I'm afraid we won't be able to eat such delicious rice noodle rolls in the future."

Li Ru nodded: "That's such a pity."

After saying that, he picked up another piece and put it in his mouth. This time he tasted shrimp rice rolls.

Although they are both seafood, there are still some differences in taste and texture.

Shrimp rice rolls are sweeter than scallop rice rolls.

Li Ru had been living abroad before and was accustomed to eating sweet food. This taste was exactly what he wanted.

In a short while, he had already eaten three large pieces.

Shen Yu and Zhou Ruoqing were shocked when they saw it. Does the boss have such a big appetite?

At this rate we'll both be left with nothing but soup!
After that, she no longer cared about her ladylike image and started eating rice noodle rolls with her chopsticks in a circle.

Li Ru was also anxious. It was rare for him to have an appetite to eat in the morning, but these two subordinates not only did not give in to him, but also fought desperately for the food. They did not know how to give in to their leader at all!

In order to have enough food and clothing for himself, Li Ru started to work at full speed, with his mouth stuffed like a hamster.
