C25 Vengeance - Seeking Guest?

"Ah …"

It's another nightmare. Dammit, recently I've been having dreams of monsters facing me, many of which I don't even know, monsters with no names. In my dreams, they barge towards me with bared fangs, as if they want to tear me apart.

Rubbing my eyes and looking at the dusky sky, I took a deep breath. It seemed that it would be dawn soon. Elder Wang should be opening his doors for business soon, so I might as well get my spirits up first.

I am an orphan, I do not know whether my parents are still alive, only that on a rainy day, I was picked up by Elder Wang.

Elder Wang is a very kind old man, he opened a small restaurant for himself. Other than me, Elder Wang also picked up six other kids, but I'm the seventh oldest, so everyone called me Little Qi. Honestly speaking, even I don't know who I am, my memories started after I was picked up by Elder Wang. Although I am a person who lost my memories, no one has any prejudice towards me. Everyone got along very well because I was the youngest, everyone took care of me, so what's good about me? At most, you can just pretend that you want to fight with me for it and then just give it to me. Overall, I've been doing pretty well here.

After a simple wash up, I prepared to start the day's work. In this restaurant, my job is to go out in the morning to buy some food and help out during the day. Some of the other kids cooked, some boiled water to chop wood, and all seven of us worked as assistants in this restaurant. It's not because Elder Wang can't find someone, but because we kids want to help him with his work, so we can't just eat and drink for free. We aren't the kind of kids that like to eat for free, so we just work in this restaurant.

When I was going to clean up the hall, Elder Wang just happened to be sitting there smoking a pipe. Old people his age were used to getting up early to smoke a cigarette, and in their words, they would smoke a cigarette in the morning and live to 99. Looking at Elder Wang's contented look, sometimes I even want to take a drag and give it a try. However, after smelling that suffocating smell, I still can't be ruthless enough to try it out.

"Little Qi got up very early today, come help Elder Wang massage his back." Elder Wang squinted at me.

Elder Wang's back was injured when he was young. Now that he's old, the pain all over his body started to torture him. In his words, "I fought too hard back then. Now that I'm old, I started to suffer." I dare not neglect, put down the cloth to give Elder Wang the back.

"Elder Wang, why have you woken up so early recently? Every time I clean up, I see you smoking here."

"I'm getting old and I don't feel much anymore. I always like to think about something. Hehe, now that I think about it, you have been here for almost ten years, right? Time flies. In the blink of an eye, you've grown so much. "

Looking at Elder Wang's aged face, I couldn't help feeling sad in my heart. Back then, when Elder Wang brought me back, his face didn't have that many wrinkles, and his back wasn't as hunched as it is now. It's been almost 10 years, Elder Wang has aged a lot. For a moment, I didn't know what to say, so I just continued massaging Elder Wang's back and lowered my head without saying anything.

"Eh? Uncle Wang, Seventh Brother, you all woke up so early? "

This was the boss. He was a chef and cooked very well. He didn't have any other problems, but he was a bit lazy. Everyone loved to eat the dishes he cooked. Elder Wang looked at his boss: "Hmm, it's better to get up early. What does that mean? "Haha!"

The boss shook his head: "Elder Wang, you're giving me the cold shoulder again, I'm just a log who doesn't understand such profound words. When Ol 'Five gets older, you can go and discuss culture with him!"

Elder Wang laughed: "You little bastard, you really have a big problem. Hurry up and go to work, be careful not to ruin the signboard with bad food!"

Towards Elder Wang's kind of joke, the boss simply ignored it, casually threw me a purchase order and headed straight for the kitchen.

Elder Wang looked out of the window and saw that the sky was already getting brighter. He immediately said: "Seventh Brother, it's about time. Go buy some vegetables on the street, you must be busy all day."

I nodded, pocketed some money, and left the house.

There are only three restaurants in our town: one is our restaurant Wang's restaurant, the other two are our restaurant's restaurants, one is a small gathering due to luck, and the other is a small restaurant with fragrance. Our place is small, and we don't have many people. These three restaurants are often fighting over a few customers, but in reality, it's just some small fights. Whatever activities are going on in the town, such as who gets married and so on, they are all arranged by our three parties. In such a large town, if one were to look up and not see them at all, it was unlikely they would be so stiff.

After I was picked up by Elder Wang, the job of buying vegetables was taken over by me. After almost ten years of buying, the whole morning market already knew me, a child like me wouldn't dare to ask for money from me, and would just sell the dishes to me at a very cheap price every time. Sometimes, I even thought that it was because of this that Elder Wang sent me to buy vegetables?

As we walked, I could hear the familiar morning cries of leeks and leeks. Fresh leeks cheap! Tofu ~! ~ ~ ~ ~

As instructed on the menu my boss had given me, I went to the dishes one by one, first the coriander, then the green peppers, then the tree peppers, then the beef and mutton. The more I walked, the more things I had with me, and it was time for me to go back.

Elder Wang was playing Taiji in the backyard. Don't look at Elder Wang's age, this is pretty good. I heard that when he was young, he was also a martial arts expert, and he even went to the battlefield to kill invader. We've only heard this from others, and it's just a rumor spreading around when we're bored. No one knows what's really going on.

I hastily sent the dishes over to the boss. If I were to deliver them later, I wouldn't be rushing over for breakfast.

The other brothers and sisters had also woken up. Second Brother and Third Brother said that they were working in the shop, but in fact, they had nothing to do all day. Other than splitting firewood, there really wasn't much work for them to do. Fourth and Sixth Bro were a lot busier in comparison. They helped the boss cut some vegetables and occasionally helped me with some tasks. Fifth brother is the most literate one here, we brothers only know how to write poems, and he's the only "cultural person". Because of this, he went to do accounting, which is something we all feel tired of, standing there all day facing the account book, I really can't take it.

Not long after, a burst of fragrance wafted out from the kitchen. I hastily set up the tables and chairs and called for everyone to come over for breakfast.

The food was very sumptuous today, the boss actually made chicken soup in the morning, but it was too joyful for us covetous kids. We were fighting over the chicken soup for it, so Elder Wang couldn't help laughing out loud, "You little bastards, eat slowly, don't choke too badly!"

After breakfast, we tidied up and started our daily business. In such a small town, there isn't much business every day. Sometimes, when merchants pass by, we can make a bit of money. We are all used to sitting around in the restaurant in a daze all day long, in fact we have nothing else to do.

At noon, a customer suddenly arrived. I didn't even realize that a customer had come and was still daydreaming when fifth brother shouted, "Seventh Brother, there's a guest. Why don't you hurry up and say hello?"

I hastily stood up and greeted, "Mister, what would you like to eat? What do you want to drink? The specialty of our store is braised chicken wings, crab golden needle mushrooms, and a good Erguotou! "

The customer coldly said, "Just give me some dishes and wine. Just hurry up!"

"Sure, please wait a moment!" I immediately ran to the back kitchen. The boss was still dozing off, so I shook him awake, "Boss, there's business! Wake up! "

The eldest brother said sleepily, "What business? Nonsense, there are customers coming from there right now!"

I hastily replied, "Boss, I won't lie to you. Quickly get up! The guests can ask for whatever dish they want to cook. As long as you hurry up, everything will be fine!" Hurry up and get up! "

Hearing this, the boss came to his senses. He rubbed his eyes and said, "En, so it's like that. How about you go over first? I'll wake you up later!"

After exiting the kitchen, I hastily went to get some wine. The wine in our shop might seem like a good Erguotou, but in reality, it's just old white dry water. You want to drink Erguotou in this small, crappy place? This was simply a dream come true.

When I brought the wine up to the customer, another customer came to the entrance of the restaurant. However, this person seemed to have an unfriendly expression as he said to the customer that came in first: "Alright, Lei Zhen. Not only did you steal my business, you even dare to swagger around and eat under my nose? You really ate the guts of a leopard! "

When I heard this, my heart jumped. Something was not right. It seems that what happened afterwards was to seek revenge? Do not fight here, the damage is small, hurt us is not good!

When fifth brother saw these two, his eyes wandered around and he hurriedly said, "If you two have something to talk about, then we have a good Erguotou. Why don't you two sit down and have a chat?" At the same time, he signaled me with his eyes to go to the backyard and find Elder Wang. I didn't dare to hesitate and directly ran towards the backyard.

Ps: Everyone should be able to guess who this amnesiac child is, right? I will write this book from a different angle! Please be patient and continue to read!
