Save Akihara

Chapter 1 Rice Fragrance and Fish

That store is neither Chinese nor foreign, it can also be said to be a combination of Chinese and Western. The front door is completely Western-style, and the door walls are all glass. Standing outside, you can see the store clearly. All wooden tables and chairs, landscape paintings on the walls, and square lanterns hanging on the top, it is said to be a restaurant, but it is more like a teahouse.

The name of the shop is Dao Xiang Yu Yu, and the signatures are cod soup rice, eel hot pot rice, silver carp risotto... In short, the main products are fish and rice, which echoes the name of the shop.

Just opposite the photo studio where Zhou Shangli works, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see a tall figure with a crew cut, always wearing black, white and gray T-shirts in rotation, always wearing a black apron, and facing people. He always has a smile on his face and looks like he has a good temper.

At this moment, the man was holding an empty plate, standing in front of a table of diners and talking, laughing so much that the tails of his eyes flew into Zhou Shangli's eyes. Even though there was no sound, I could still imagine his tone of voice, which must be soft and gentle.

"How does he manage to maintain such a good mood every day?" Zhou Shangli thought, "It seems that there has never been anything bothering him to get angry or lose his temper with a cold face."

Once, a man didn't know whether he was drunk or his left and right brains were confused, and he made a fuss for no reason. The man comforted him while bringing him water to drink. Zhou Shangli put his hands in his pockets and watched the scene through the window. Farce, what I think is: "If it were me, I would throw that water on his head and see if he still quarrels."

Assistant Gu Wenwen saw Zhou Shangli standing by the window for a long time, took a cup of coffee and walked over to it, and handed it to Zhou Shangli: "Boss, what are you looking at? Stand here every day and watch, are there any beauties?"

"Have you ever eaten at the restaurant opposite?" Zhou Shangli asked.

"I've been there, I've been there when it first opened, and it was discounted at that time."

"what about the taste?"

"It's pretty good, but it's expensive. If it's not discounted later, I can't afford it anymore."

Zhou Shangli took a sip of his coffee, and saw the man carrying a vegetable to a table of guests by the window, and put the vegetables down, Zhou Shangli saw him and said, "Please."

"I'll treat you to dinner after get off work."

Gu Wenwen was overwhelmed by the flattery, and she should be polite as a lady, but when she thought that the opportunity would never come again, she combined the two words "lady" into a female man, and responded immediately.

Sending off the last bride-to-be who had chosen a film, Gu Wenwen quickly changed her clothes, jumped up to Zhou Shangli, tilted her head and made a very cute expression: "Boss."

"Huh?" Zhou Shangli was adjusting the lens of the camera, and when he heard Gu Wenwen calling him, he turned his head, and the long lens almost hit Gu Wenwen's face.

"Boss!" Gu Wenwen took a few steps back, staring gloomily and said, "Didn't you invite me to dinner?"

"Oh, yes." Only then did Zhou Shangli remember, took off the lens, installed the camera, and acted cautiously. This was just bought by him, and he needed to take good care of it for a while.

The two came out of the photo studio, crossed the zebra crossing, and arrived at the entrance of Daoxiang and Yudian. Zhou Shangli stopped, and gently brushed the bangs hanging from the corner of his eyebrows with his index finger, watching the man holding the dinner plate from behind. When the kitchen came out, he opened the door and walked in.

"Welcome." The man smiled at him and Gu Wenwen with a plate in his hand, his voice was indeed very gentle, just as he had imagined.

Zhou Shangli nodded coldly, and sat down at a place with a better viewing angle - he could see the cashier counter and the exit of the back kitchen without making any special adjustments.

Serving the guests a good meal, the man smiled gently: "Please take it easy, call me if you need anything."

As soon as Zhou Shangli and Gu Wenwen sat down, a waiter came over with a tablet and a menu and asked them to order. Zhou Shangli looked at the menu without saying a word. Staring at the menu and drooling like a little dog, he had no choice but to show the score too.

"Let me come." The man handed the empty plate to the waiter, took the tablet in his hand, and smiled at the two handsome and cold customers: "What would you like to eat?"

"I want..." Gu Wenwen immediately lowered her head and stared at the menu. After asking for a long time, she still didn't come up with a specific item. She had a difficulty in choosing, and the boss on the other side didn't express her opinion. She is not qualified to order. meal.

"Is there any difference between the fish here?" Zhou Shangli asked.

"Which difference do you mean?" the man asked.

"For example, the taste of meat is nutritious. Now people are afraid of death. Isn't eating the most nutritious thing? Can you tell me which kind of sea bass or cod has high nutritional value?"

The smile on the corner of the man's mouth froze. I don't know if it was because of the difficulty of this question, or because a certain word in Zhou Shangli's words hit him, making his expression a little wandering. His eyes were blank for a few seconds, and then he continued to laugh: "The most obvious difference is the price, which is written on the menu."

Gu Wenwen glanced at the price, thinking that this boss is too honest, Zhou Shangli rolled his eyes, saying on his face that I am rich and I am a high-roller, and then ordered a much cheaper sea bass.

Gu Wenwen watched the man leave, then turned to see Zhou Shangli thoughtful, she quickly reflected on whether she had ordered too much food just now, and the boss couldn't afford it.

"Why?" Seeing Gu Wenwen's unspeakable expression, Zhou Shangli asked, "Do you want to go to the bathroom?"

"No." Gu Wenwen rolled her eyes, and raised her chin to Zhou Shangli's mobile phone, "Do you have money for a treat?"

"No." Zhou Shangli said simply.

Gu Wenwen stared her round eyes straight again: "I would have ordered a grass carp without you, what kind of perch?"

"I wonder if you are rich? The second generation rich." Zhou Shangli said with a smile.

Gu Wenwen propped her chin, feeling extremely regretful, she has been with the boss for so long, why hasn't she seen that there is an irreversible problem with his character, how can she believe that his treat is just to pay for it?Gu Wenwen, who has a lot of experience in rubbing food on the table, made a mistake for the first time.

"I don't have any money, I just bought a bag." Gu Wenwen said bitterly.

She didn't lie, but she believed that the boss didn't lie when he said he had no money. The batch of clothes she just bought cost a lot of money. Gu Wenwen thought that it was not easy for the boss to start a business, so she made up her mind that she would pay for the meal.

"Credit." Zhou Shangli said without blushing, "Anyway, I'm close, and I can't run away."

"Since you have to pay on credit when you come to eat, why are you showing off?" Gu Wenwen was extremely puzzled where the boss's confidence in showing off just now came from.

"If you don't have money, you have to pretend to be rich. This is called a psychological tactic."

"AA, I can't afford to lose this person." Gu Wenwen didn't listen to his crooked words, her eyes almost rolled out of their sockets.

Zhou Shangli insisted that since he was the one to treat the guests, he must be the one who paid for it. Before the food was served and the meal was not eaten, the two customers argued over the checkout until finally Gu Wenwen fought desperately to pay the bill. The debate over whether a treat should be paid for is over.

Gu Wenwen buried her head in her mobile phone, checked how much money was left in her wallet, and planned whether to eat dirt or drink wind next.
