Nightcrawler: 20 Years of Peaceful Demons

Chapter 162 The Strong Rise of Hechengju
In the next few days, the business did not grow explosively.

But it is very stable, as long as it is meal time, the hall is basically full, and the one hundred sauced pig's trotters will definitely be sold out.

In addition to the signature dish of this restaurant, the secret lamb scorpion, mutton fried rice has basically become a must-order meal.

As the business improved, the smiles on the face of the proprietress Liu Na also began to increase, and she also talked and laughed with us, making people feel like a withered flower suddenly regaining vitality.

And her emotions have also infected other people, Laotu, Xiaoliu and Xing'er are all full of energy, even though they will be very tired, their faces are full of smiles.

Then I also saw Mengmeng, the daughter of the proprietress Liu Na.

It was a little over two-year-old little girl who inherited her mother's beautiful genes. She was sculpted in pink and jade, like a little doll, and she was very smart. She was a little bit big, but she could speak a lot of words. Words, but for her age, it is not easy.

Before Mengmeng, the proprietress had always taken care of her in person, but after the boss had a car accident two months ago, she had to come over to take over the business.

When she couldn't find a suitable nanny for a while, she had to be handed over to a nearby parent-child kindergarten for help.

In the morning, she sent her daughter Mengmeng there, and in the evening, she asked the neighbor's grandma to bring her back together.

There is also a little boy in the parent-child garden in the neighbor's house. After returning together, he will stay at the neighbor's grandma's house for a while at night, and the proprietress will pay a certain amount of remuneration.

In fact, you can ask your husband's family for help in this matter.

But according to the habits of Lao Litou's family, if Mengmeng falls into their hands, it might become a bargaining chip in the fight for homework, and the proprietress is not at ease.

Of course, these are temporary, and she is already looking for a nanny to take care of the children.

It's just that her requirements are relatively high and she is very picky, so it is inevitable that it will be a little late.

The proprietress’s daughter was very fond of me. When she saw me, she didn’t feel the fear of meeting a stranger. Instead, she stretched out her chubby little hand and faltered, “Uncle, uncle, give me a hug…”

When I held such a small lump of fleshy baby in my arms, for some reason, I felt a lot of pity in my heart.

What a lovely child, she should have had a beautiful and happy life.

It's a pity that she doesn't have a father now.

In the past few days, there was another person who appeared frequently, and that was Wang Ying, the best friend of the proprietress.

This is said to be a very good barrister at the partner level of an international firm. She not only has an extremely profound background, but also has very strong personal abilities. In the eyes of many people, she is the kind of girl who belongs to the pride of heaven. Types of.

She seems to be born with light, and she can breathe the wind when she walks.

Ever since she made it out of the group stage that day, all the monsters and monsters, as well as the little ones, have disappeared without a trace.

Not only that, but from time to time, people would come to express their care and friendship, which made people feel the warmth of spring breeze.

But in front of me, this strong woman has a very gentle side. A sweet smile or a charming look in her eyes can make people stunned.

It is said that men chase women, separated by layers of mountains, women chasing men, separated by layers of gauze.

As a fresh-blooded single young man, if I have no illusions about such a capable and pretty young woman, it must be because of my physical problems.

Is there something wrong with my physiology?
Of course not, but there are two main reasons why I didn't quickly get along with Wang Ying——First, Lao Tu, Xiao Liu, and Xing'er all talked about this lady's strength in front of me, and related issues. All kinds of stories about her made me feel that if I was with her, I would probably become a submissive and honest person.

This is not the relationship I want between men and women.

There is another one, that is, the proprietress mentioned to me intentionally or unintentionally, that Wang Ying's relationship with the opposite sex has been very bold since high school, and in the past few years from college to going abroad, and coming back, I don't know how many boyfriends .

This also played a very important role in my decision.

Although I'm not the kind of straight male cancer, I have a natural resistance to girls who have boyfriends, but to be honest, I really can't control such "slutty" girls.

These two points made me deliberately keep a distance from Wang Ying, but she didn't seem to notice it, and came to play with me happily every time.

The so-called "playing" is not a flirt, but a chat with me, and then a few jokes, and then shouted "I'm starving to death".

She told me that since she ate the rice I cooked, she had no appetite for anything else, and wanted to eat the mutton fried rice and sauced pig's trotters I made once a day, just now that she felt that this day was not in vain .

Wang Ying is a very smart girl, and I am amazed by her precision and subtlety in grasping the distance.

She kept a distance from me that was neither too far nor too close, neither resenting nor alienating me. Such a distance made me feel very comfortable and able to treat her as a friend.

And this kind of feeling is farther away from the proprietress, and much closer than Lao Tu and Xiao Liu.

Such differential treatment made me feel a little vanity of being treated preferentially.

When I felt that I began to look forward to Wang Ying's arrival every day, I suddenly realized that I might be led astray by her.

This is an intelligent woman that leaves me in awe.

But having said that, I have a small calculation in my heart again, that is, if I don’t have to be responsible, it’s actually pretty cool that something indescribable can happen to a smart and pretty woman in the new era like Wang Ying and I. people expect.

Time passed slowly in such entanglement.

During this period, two things worth mentioning happened. The first is Ma Yi'ao, who has not arrived for a long time. I called him several times, but the phone was not turned on.

This made me a little worried about this brother who went south to collect the bills, but he is a person who doesn't have anything to do and doesn't often turn on his mobile phone.

This is also normal.

The second thing is that I thought the white old man would show up to remind me from time to time, but he only came for a while, and he was still in a hurry.

He seemed very busy.

But a foodie is a foodie. As soon as he came, he ordered a large table of dishes. In addition to the signature lamb scorpion hot pot, he also ordered mutton fried rice, sauced pig's trotters, and my newly developed sauced beef.

For my dishes, he was full of praise, and the appearance of eating was quite ugly. After a while, a large table of dishes was eaten.

It was as if he hadn't eaten for days and nights.

And what's even more exasperating is that he still hasn't paid.

After eating, the old man called me out of the door with a toothpick in his mouth, then put his arms around my shoulders, and said, "Boy, did you hear that you have done a good job recently?"

I didn't know what his origin was, so I didn't dare to make mistakes, so I just bowed my head and said, "It's average, I can only say that I'm worthy of this job."

He took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, struck a match, lit it for himself, took a deep breath, rolled it in his lungs, and let it out again. Seeing that I was shrinking in, he couldn't help it Stop laughing and say don't be afraid, I won't do anything to you.

I laughed dryly, said I was sorry, it was a subconscious reaction, like a snake like a bow.

The white old man exhaled smoke rings, and said that you don't mind, the one I left you that day is famous, called "Conceived Liujia", and you will know in the future that it will do more good than harm to you ...

Speaking of this, he dragged his tone and asked, "Have the people from Old Li's family come here to make trouble recently?"

I shook my head and said no.

The white old man arched his nostril with the little finger of his left hand, saying that I also heard that the little girl of the old Wang family is chasing you?Is there such a thing?
I trembled when I heard it, and the little flame of desire that had been ignited in my heart was extinguished in an instant.

I hurriedly shook my head and said, "No, no, she was just joking, and I didn't dare to talk to her."

The old man Bai nodded, and said earnestly: "That's right. A good man is always the same. Since you like Nana, don't be half-hearted, you know?"

I looked helpless and said no, I didn't have the slightest heart to go beyond the proprietress.

The white old man was taken aback, staring at me for a while, then suddenly smiled, and said that you, so far, look good in other aspects, but a little prudish—Nana is beautiful, has temperament, and Charm, you like it as long as you like it, just pursue it boldly, what is the purpose of this?He obviously likes it from the bottom of his heart, but he has to hold it back forcibly. How can he be like that group of Taoist priests taught by Zhengyi?Oh, boring, boring...

He patted me on the shoulder, but he didn't make things difficult for me, and walked away, leaving me alone, messed up in the wind.

The business of Hechengju reached a breaking point on the fifth day.

Suddenly, when we opened the door, we started to line up after ten o'clock, and the line was long. Many people didn't eat, and waved the banknotes and lunch boxes in their hands, let us give a stewed pig's trotter, or a piece of Just beef sauce.

On the sixth day, the line was 30 meters long, which was very exaggerated.

At this time, we realized that the fat man who wanted to interview us earlier was a guy named Fan Hongbo, who wrote a report and bragged about our things to the sky.

Many people came across most of the urban area, just wanting to taste the food that is said to be "this taste should only be found in the sky".

In addition to Yanjing City, there are also diners in Lianzhou, and even northern Hebei and Jinmen.

Even so, we still maintain the daily quantitative standard and insist on taste.

The business is booming, the proprietress is so beautiful that she is even thinking about recruiting people, and she walks very briskly every day.

But as time went by, the business was in a mess, and the proprietress laughed every day.

Until No. 15 days, she received a call.

Then she suddenly had a nervous breakdown, wow, and cried aloud—something happened to Mengmeng.
