The open life of the pancake girl

Chapter 105

When Ah Zhi has time, he also goes to the Jianbingmei snack shop to drink a bowl of haggis soup and eat a small pot of lamb scorpion.Chat with Ah Xiao about music, and take a look at the interaction between Ah Xiao and his girlfriend.

In this cold winter, his world seems to have slowly changed because of a small pot of hot soup.

At the same time, Ah Zhi also discovered that maybe he was wrong.Some love will not be crushed by life, but will make life more delicious.

Ah Zhi's mother hated the Chinese New Year for no reason, and flew to Europe early for shopping.Ah Zhi didn't have to go home for the New Year at all.

Senior Mi is thirty years old, no matter what, he has to go home to attend family dinners.The incident between him and his girlfriend is not over yet.

As the New Year's Eve is approaching, the streets are full of people, and many people are hoarding new year's goods in big bags.

On the 29th, Senior Mi brought a lot of fruits, ingredients, and convenience foods home.Then, he turned his head and looked at Ah Zhi who was sitting on the sofa watching TV.

"Azhi, New Year's Eve, why don't you just go home with me to celebrate the New Year? Although my family's New Year's Eve dinner is a bit boring."

"No, I'm fine being alone."

Ah Zhi was wearing a mohair pullover, sitting upright like a primary school student, with his hands on his knees, and there was a sense of loneliness in him, which made Senior Mi frown.

"Then you must not play the drums all the time, you have to watch the Spring Festival Gala, you know?"

"Oh." Ah Zhi responded, and seemed a little fascinated watching the funny show on TV.

Senior Mi looked at him and couldn't help sighing.Ah Zhi, who is broken in love at this time, always makes people can't help worrying.

As soon as he returned to the room, Senior Mi called Ah Xiao.

On Lunar New Year's Eve, Senior Mi left the house after nine o'clock, and didn't ask A Zhi anything in a mother-in-law manner.

Ah Zhi leaned against the window and looked out, the streets were full of beaming people.

The room was quiet, Ah Zhi seemed to have returned to his childhood, as if the whole world was celebrating the Spring Festival, but in such a lively day, Ah Zhi was forgotten by everyone.

He still remembers that one day, when his mother was preparing food for the Spring Festival, the little Azhi stood in the kitchen and helped his mother with work.He is also happy.

Suddenly someone knocked on the door, and my mother walked out excitedly.

A noble lady walked in haughtily and let the men in black smash their house to pieces.

She said, "Bitch, why do you celebrate the Spring Festival?"

Ah Zhi remembered that the lion's head, which was so difficult to make, rolled to the ground and was trampled to pieces.

Later, they did not celebrate, and he was "scared" and fell ill.

Mom always hugged him and cried, and Dad went home and had a big fight.

However, life is still the same, he is still the illegitimate son who can't enter the door of the Chen family, and his mother is still the little wife who is afraid of the big wife coming.

The world will not change because of him.

"Dong dong dong..." There was a sudden knock on the door, and Ah Zhi was taken aback.

It took a while before he calmed down.He has grown up and is no longer the crying child.

As if to prove something, Ah Zhi walked slowly to the door and opened it.At first glance, it was Ah Xiao's face full of joy.

"Hurry up and pack your things, let's celebrate the New Year with me today. We have a lot of people over there, and everyone is lively and lively together." Ah Xiao said directly.

"I won't go." Ah Zhi shook his head and refused.

"Okay, let me tell you the truth. Zhenzhen told me just now that the business of their store may be very good on New Year's Eve. But the employees have all gone home for the New Year. Just ask me if there is any friend who can come to the store to help. Ah Zhi, you won’t refuse the good brother’s plea, will you?” Ah Zhi said and patted Zhi on the shoulder.

"Ah?" Ah Zhi stared blankly at him.

On New Year's Eve, ask him to go to Pancake Girl to help work?However, he doesn't like talking to strangers, so how can he work part-time?

"Okay, let's go! One more person will help." Ah Xiao didn't allow him to refuse, so he pushed him in to change clothes.

"Hurry up, hurry up, our store will officially open at 10:[-] today."

Under Ah Xiao's urging, Ah Zhi quickly changed his clothes.

Three or ten minutes later, they came to Brother Yang Xiezi Hot Pot City.

Lu Zhenzhen and his younger uncles, Gao Ming, Xiaodouzi, brothers and sisters Liu Dajiang, grandparents of the Xu family were all there.

Everyone was familiar with each other, and Xiaodouzi happily greeted Ah Zhi.

"Hey, today, may I trouble you to come and help? Brother Zheng will give us big red envelopes after the end." Xiaodouzi said cheerfully.

"Oh, good!" Ah Zhi looked at them stupidly.

"It's not troublesome to work here. When the guests come down, just follow me and receive them at the door. You don't need to talk, just smile." Xiaodouzi continued.

"Can I really do it?" Ah Zhi asked blankly.

"Of course, you are so handsome. Many girls will like your face. Come on, let's change clothes."

"Oh, good." Ah Zhi was dragged away by Xiaodouzi.

Xiaodouzi kept teaching him, Ah Zhi kept nodding.Once lively and cheerful, one dull and reticent, the pairing of these two people makes people feel very interesting.

Soon, Ah Zhi really changed into the uniform of his brother Yang Xiezi Hot Pot City.

The uniform showed a boy's figure on his body. Ah Zhi was obviously a little thin, but he looked very tall and straight in the uniform.

Soon, he was dragged by Xiaodou and stood at the door as a receptionist.

There are really a lot of guests on New Year's Eve.Ah Zhi was a little dizzy, but there was always a smile on the corner of his mouth.

I saw that Xiaodouzi has been very active all the time, bringing guests in generously.

After the crowd finally passed, Xiaodouzi took a sip of water, patted Ah Zhi on the shoulder and said:
"Okay bro, you did a great job."

"But, I didn't say anything." Ah Zhi was a little confused.

But Xiaodouzi told him: "It is enough for you to smile."

"Is that so?" The corners of Ah Zhi's mouth curled up slowly.

Suddenly a young girl walked out and said to her friend, "My God, that boy is so handsome!"

Little Bean shrugged.

"Look, hey, I'm so envious of you handsome guys. Being good-looking means taking advantage."

"You're also handsome!" Ah Zhi said quickly.

"Of course, Mr. Dou, everyone loves everyone, and flowers bloom when they see flowers!" Xiaodouzi said confidently, and made a face.

"Are you born like this?" Ah Zhi couldn't help asking.

"What?"

"It's very lively, very dazzling, and makes people think you are great!" Ah Zhi tried to explain.

"Oh, you mean, I am very suitable to be the lobby manager, right?" Xiaodouzi finally understood what he meant.

"Yeah." Ah Zhi nodded.

"This, actually, it was Lu Zhenzhen who trained me." Xiaodouzi recalled half a year ago, and a smile came from the corner of his mouth.

"Huh?" Ah Zhi looked at him in disbelief.

"That was when I was first taken in by Brother Zheng, and I promised my grandma to have a serious job.

At first, Brother Zheng wanted to teach me how to make pancakes.However, I have been unable to do it.No matter how I spread it, the pancakes are either mushy or not cooked.

Really helpless, Lu Zhenzhen tried to teach me how to make many other snacks.Turns out, I'm a culinary idiot.

At that time, I felt very hopeless, I was so stupid, I couldn't do very simple things well.And a lot of food was wasted.At that time, I thought I was just an idiot, and probably couldn't do anything.

Lu Zhenzhen discussed with Brother Zheng and asked me to set up a stall for a small business.

Lu Zhenzhen felt that my condition was not right, so she gave me training.

She told me that there is no need to take pictures at all, as long as you smile when you see customers.Of course, the mouth should also be sweet.

Later, although I didn't sell it as a trinket, I was unexpectedly suitable to be a lobby manager!

So, you have to smile, but also confident, in fact, no big deal.Is there no way out of heaven?You are a handsome guy, why do you keep bending over with your back on your back.As long as you are willing to smile, no one will make things difficult for you. "

"Really?" Ah Zhi couldn't help asking.

"Of course, you think I'm a guy who used to burn down a kitchen. Back then, I was such a sucker. I felt inferior. But now, I can find what suits me best. And I can still do it." Not bad!"

"I also want to find a lifestyle that suits me."

"Then learn to smile first!"

At two o'clock in the afternoon, everyone gathered for dinner.On the round table, there are four hot pots.

Ah Zhi sat next to Xiaodouzi.Xiaodouzi quickly picked up a chopstick of meat and gave it to him.

"Stupid, you have to rush to eat hot pot to be delicious. You have to grab it, otherwise there will be no meat to eat."

Under Xiaodouzi's urging, Ah Zhi finally stood up and grabbed a piece of meat with chopsticks.

Everyone around was laughing, and no one cared whether his behavior was out of character or whether his table manners were good enough.

Ah Xiao stood up and grabbed meat with Xu Qizheng, the two of them seemed to be fighting, and in the end they were half of each other.

Ah Xiao took the first step, and put the meat he snatched into Lu Zhen Zhen's bowl.Look at her and smile like a winner.

Xu Qizheng took a look at him, turned sideways and put the snatched meat into Zhao Xuefei's bowl.

Zhao Xuefei blushed with excitement.

Soon, Ah Xiao also picked up a chopstick of meat and put it into Ah Zhi's bowl.

"Eat, how is it? This part-time job is not in vain, right?" Ah Xiao asked very gently.

"Well, very interesting." Ah Zhi nodded.

Xu Qizheng raised his glass and stood up.

"Everyone must continue to work hard at night! Then, we will give out red envelopes for the New Year."

"Okay!" A large table of people stood up, and the cups in their hands touched together.

Ah Zhi was infected by this lively atmosphere without knowing it.

On the night of the New Year's Eve, because they wanted to watch the Spring Festival Gala, the guests finished their New Year's Eve dinner early.

After nine o'clock in the evening, Hot Pot City closed its doors.

Turned on the TV, started watching the Spring Festival Gala, and the chefs in the store started to show off their skills.

Of course, many dishes are prepared ahead of time and ready to serve as soon as they are reheated.

Xu Qizheng began to give out red envelopes to everyone, even Xu Xiaodao, Mr. Xu, and Grandma Bailou.

Grandma Bailou returned and gave Xu Qizheng a red envelope.

Mr. Xu had no money at all, so he did not know where to find a brand and gave it to Xu Qizheng.

"What is this?" Xu Qizheng looked at the bronze medal with the word "Xu" engraved with ancient patterns, feeling a little silly.

"If I tell you to take it, you can take it. If you accidentally lose it, I'll kill you!" Old Master Xu scolded rudely.It was as if Xu Qizheng asked him for this brand.

"But..." Xu Qizheng just wanted to say, but I still don't want it.For such an important thing, you should keep it by yourself.

"Stop talking nonsense." Mr. Xu obviously gave up and didn't want to come back.

Just look at his attitude, this brand is very important.

Xiaodouzi leaned over to have a look. "Old man, isn't this an antique?"

"Hmph, it's been 300 years, do you think it's an antique?"

Xiaodouzi originally wanted to take the bronze medal to see, but when he heard the old man's words, he immediately withdrew his hand.

"Oh, it's really an antique, so I'm still unbearable."

Xu Qizheng was holding the small copper plate with the corner of his mouth twitching, he was a bit hesitant.

The grandparents of the Xu family didn't know what was going on, and they all liked to keep important things for him.

Xu Xiaodao gave the passbook, and Mr. Xu passed on the antiques to the family.

It's just that Xu Qizheng still understands the old man's temperament.If the old man doesn't want it, he will never take it back.He is as stubborn as Chef Ma.

Xu Qizheng had no choice but to carefully put away this small signboard.

Ah Zhi also got a red envelope, and he felt a little dizzy when he touched the red envelope.

When he was a child, he wanted it very much, but he couldn't always get it.At the age of 20, he no longer wanted a red envelope, but suddenly got it.

It was just a red envelope, but it made him feel a little bit at a loss, but he was extremely pleasantly surprised.

Turns out he still wanted it.

Turning to look at Ah Xiao again, Ah Xiao found an opportunity, and stuffed the red envelopes Xu Qizheng gave and the red envelopes he had prepared to Lu Zhenzhen.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Lu Zhenzhen quickly went to serve the dishes.Ah Xiao has been watching her.

Soon, a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner was ready, and everyone sat around the round table.

Ah Zhi has never had such a big New Year's Eve dinner, nor has he celebrated the New Year with so many people.

It's a bit of a mess in the house.

On the TV, the sketch actors were doing exaggerated performances, and Xiaodouzi was rocking back and forth with laughter.

Ah Xiao said to Lu Zhenzhen: "Hey, one day, I will also sing at the Spring Festival Gala."

"Then you won't be able to have the New Year's Eve dinner with me." Lu Zhenzhen said.

"That's right, then I still won't be able to go to the Spring Festival Gala." He said it as if he would definitely be able to go to the Spring Festival Gala if he wanted to.

Xu Xiaodao was frowning as he looked at the dishes in his chopsticks. "The knife skills are average, but the taste is great?"

Old man Xu glanced at Liu Sanhe, then tapped Xu Xiaodao on the forehead with his chopsticks.

"What did I tell you, there are people beyond people, and mountains beyond mountains!"

"I know, there are chefs outside the chef." Xu Xiaodao continued. "But when I grow up, I want to be the best chef."

"Then you should practice hard and don't be lazy."

"Yeah, I know." Xu Xiaodao responded with a full mouth.

Liu Xiaoxi was extremely happy looking at a large table of delicious food.Her cheeks were soon swollen with food, she looked like a little squirrel.

Xu Qizheng smiled, and took another chicken wing for her.

"Thank you, Brother Xu..." Liu Xiaoxi said vaguely.No one could hear what she was calling.

"You're welcome, eat more. You can take it home after eating!" Xu Qizheng said with a smile.

"Okay!" Liu Xiaoxi's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Hey, I still want to come to work in the future."

Liu Erjiang hastily tugged on his sister's sleeve, there was no other way, her sister was too embarrassed.

Liu Xiaoxi quickly added. "You don't need the red envelope, just eat."

"Okay, after the Spring Festival next year, you can come to work again!" Xu Qizheng really agreed.

"Oh, that's great." Liu Xiaoxi cheered.

Seeing her simple happiness from the heart, Xu Qizheng couldn't help being happy.

As soon as he turned around, he bumped glasses with Gao Ming and drank the wine.Gao Ming looked at everyone quietly, with a lazy smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Brother Zheng, we have done a good job in the past six months."

"Isn't it?"

Xiaodouzi interjected, "We will make more and more appointments in the future."

Xu Qizheng nodded, yes, his business will definitely get better and better.

No matter how hard the Liu family struggles, he will never fall down.

Ah Xiao added half of the Sixi balls to Ah Zhi, which attracted Ah Zhi's attention.

"Eat, don't just look at others."

Ah Zhi looked at the Sixi balls in the bowl, slowly raised his head, and smiled at Ah Xiao.

He was no longer afraid of Sixi Wanzi.

"Thank you!"

"I want to thank you for coming to help. They are all brothers, why are you so polite?"

Ah Zhi still looked at him gratefully.He is very grateful to Ah Xiao for pulling him out of his loneliness and enjoying a lively Spring Festival.

Lu Zhenzhen also stood up and brought some food for Ah Zhi.

"Ah Zhi, thank you for your hard work, eat more, don't be too polite, treat yourself like your own home."

"Okay, I will eat more." Ah Zhi nodded.

His heart disease seems to be cured suddenly without knowing it.He was no longer afraid of crowds, nor was he afraid to speak.This is probably because he learned to smile.

This is obviously not his home.In this store, these people made Ah Zhi feel like a family.

In this festive day, it turns out that everyone should smile like this.

Ah Zhi raised his head, looked at the people around him, raised his glass, and drank some wine.He also picked up the Sixi ball.

The meatballs were deliciously cooked and surprisingly tasty.

Ah Zhi laughed slowly, he finally passed the belated Chinese New Year.

Chinese New Year, it turned out to be such an interesting thing.Not waiting for someone who will never come back, not eating the big meal that was ordered early in the restaurant, not watching the Spring Festival Gala mechanically, eating melon seeds.But someone to accompany him.

Ah Zhi suddenly had an idea that he would also find a girlfriend who could accompany him to the New Year's Eve dinner in the future.

She can spend his money and buy those expensive bags, as long as she is willing to be his family and spend the Spring Festival with him.
