An Internet company in city a
At around eleven o'clock, Feng Yuan once again exceeded the task limit, and then kept looking at the time.
They get off work at 11:30, and now there is less than thirty minutes left until they get off work.
In the past, Feng Yuan only felt that there was not enough time. She was bald due to work every day, hoping to turn 24 hours into 48 hours, but now she feels that time passes too slowly!
She has finished her work, but she hasn't left work yet. What a tragedy!
A chubby colleague next to her took a break to take a drink of water. He noticed that she was so restless and suddenly became speechless: "What are you doing? Is there something urgent? Why don't you ask the boss for a day off?"
Feng Yuan waved his hands awkwardly, shook his head and said: "It's not urgent, I just want to get off work and I'm hungry."
"Let's order takeout," my colleague said casually.
Feng Yuan frowned and said aggrievedly: "That store doesn't have takeout."
She had already seen it, and she couldn't find this restaurant no matter which food ordering software she used, and she was heartbroken.
"...Okay." The colleague spread his hands helplessly, and was extremely surprised: "What store is it that makes you so envious?"
Feng Yuan smiled and said: "A new store opened near my home. There are only two items, cold noodles with shredded chicken and crayfish. I went to eat cold noodles in the morning and was so attracted by the smell of crayfish that I almost couldn't walk. I wanted to
It’s not that I don’t have enough time, I want to sit there and order crayfish!”
The fat colleague touched his chubby belly. Looking at the meat on his body, you can tell that he is also a foodie, and he especially likes eating crayfish. Therefore, listening to Feng Yuan's words, his mouth watered, and he asked hesitantly:
"Is it really so fragrant? Is it delicious?"
Feng Yuan seemed to remember the taste again, swallowed her saliva, and said with unfinished content: "My boss saw that I was very slanderous this morning, so he gave me one. The taste is amazing! The shrimp is bigger than my palm, and the shrimp meat is firm.
It's bouncy and spicy, but it's not working anymore. The more I think about it, the hungrier I get..."
Of course, there is another thing that attracts her, and that is the handsome guy!
But there’s no need to tell your colleagues about this.
My colleague also felt slanderous when he heard this. He wiped his saliva and saw Feng Yuan holding her stomach pitifully, and said decisively: "I'll go with you at noon!"
"good!"
Feng Yuan nodded.
The colleague was about to laugh when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the computer. His expression suddenly changed and he quickly scratched his head and typed the code. At the same time, he smiled bitterly: "Oh my God, if I can't finish this, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave. Why did you finish it so fast today?"
"
Feng Yuan said blankly: "I don't know. I was so focused that I even forgot to go to the toilet. When I came back to my senses, I had done everything and I was in a much better state than before."
My colleague was already focused on the computer and just murmured: "I'm afraid you're going crazy because of the food."
He was joking, and Feng Yuan also wanted to laugh.
Suddenly she realized that after eating cold noodles last night, she seemed to be quite focused. The effect of getting twice the result with half the effort really didn't just exist in the idiom, but was actually reflected in her body.
And if you think about it carefully, she has often suffered from insomnia due to high-intensity work and pressure in the past two years. Even if she occasionally takes a vacation, she cannot fall asleep before three o'clock. After finishing her work at twelve o'clock yesterday and handing it over to the leader, she seemed to... wash herself
Did you go to bed after taking a shower?
So is it possible that the food in this ‘dream restaurant’ has miraculous effects?
Feng Yuan's eyes fell on Xiaopang, and he smiled the next second: "What else is unfinished? I will work with you to prepare for our noon crayfish dinner!"
After eating the food there, you will know by looking at Little Fatty's condition in the afternoon.
The fat colleague was not polite and assigned part of his work to him. The two of them worked together to finish the morning's work at 11:40 and immediately ran away with their bags.
When other people in the office heard the commotion, they all looked envious and bald. It was so difficult. They haven't finished it yet!
The old town actually looks quite bleak.
The summer sun is so hot that it makes people exhausted. The only breakfast restaurants on the street are closed. They seem to be as quiet as at night. Only the log-colored restaurant standing in the abandoned construction site is still open.
"That's it?" Xiaopang wiped his sweaty face, in disbelief.
How could a restaurant like this lure Feng Yuan into this?
Feng Yuan nodded without hesitation: "Believe me, it's super delicious!"
Xiaopang smiled, and the excitement in his heart had already subsided.
However, he also knew that people in many restaurants should not be judged by their appearance. He was a little uninterested, mainly because of this restaurant...the door opened, and there was only one person!
When he got closer, he realized that he was wrong, because... there was not a single customer in this restaurant, and that person was a clerk.
Suddenly, Xiaopang's interest dropped by a third.
After seeing that person's appearance clearly, Xiaopang wanted to go home.
Feng Yuan definitely went there because of the clerk’s appearance!
Fortunately, we were all colleagues, so Xiaopang couldn't do too much, and the weather was so hot. He felt refreshed as soon as he came in, so he found a place to sit down, without thinking of going back, and looked around impatiently.
Check.
Finally, it landed on the screen in the kitchen. Two dishes, a cold shredded chicken noodle dish cost 30 yuan, and a spicy crayfish dish cost 200 yuan.
He raised his brows, becoming more and more disgusted. It was so expensive, and it must have tricked women like Feng Yuan who were greedy for beauty!
He really shouldn't trust a woman's judgment!
Joel received the two of them, smiled slightly and whispered: "Welcome to the Dream Restaurant, this is the menu, what would you like to eat?"
Xiaopang said quietly: "Just one portion of cold noodles and crayfish, right?"
"Well, me too!" Feng Yuan didn't realize that Xiaopang's tone was different. When the waiter in a tuxedo wearing a cosplay anime character saw it, he was so confused that he didn't know anything.
Xiaopang was very disgusted with it. It was just as he thought, superficial!
Even though Joel was looked at like this, he nodded calmly, turned to the kitchen and said something.
Su Ning concentrated on cooking. Only when Joel reminded her that the girl she met in the morning had brought guests over. She immediately looked over and met Feng Yuan's eyes. She immediately nodded her head to express her gratitude.
Feng Yuan also smiled.
Su Ning took out four trays from the cupboard behind her.
The food ordered by two diners is placed on the tray.
Joel brought the tray over, one tray in each hand, and the first thing to arrive was the two-cent crayfish.
The taste of one portion is enough to occupy the entire restaurant, let alone two portions.
Xiaopang was playing with his phone and scrolling through videos when he suddenly stopped moving, his nose shrugged, his eyes widened, he raised his head and looked at the dishes that had appeared in front of him in astonishment, and murmured: "Oh my god, what's going on?"
It smells so good! I thought...ahem..."
He swallowed the rest of his words and looked at the crayfish seriously.
The size of the shrimps was indeed as Feng Yuan said, very big. He compared them with his palms, and each one was almost bigger than his palms. The plump flesh of the shrimp tails could almost be seen with the naked eye.
Such crayfish, if placed in a Japanese restaurant, would cost dozens of dollars per crayfish, so these eight crayfish cost $200, so...it's so damn cheap!
For a moment, the little fat girl's face turned red, and she was so embarrassed that she didn't even dare to look at the colleague in front of her. He almost wronged her!
"Just say it's delicious! It's definitely not a loss!" Feng Yuan looked away from Joel and looked down at the shrimp in front of him. He didn't notice the little fat man's unnaturalness. He raised his eyebrows proudly and put the plate in front of him.
After a deep sniff, I couldn't wait to put on my gloves.
The crayfish was very hot. She probably touched it with her hand and was burned shortly after it was taken out of the pot. She had to pick it up with chopsticks and blow on it. After it cooled down a bit, she started peeling it off.
The shrimp shells have long been cut open, and they can be separated with a gentle pinch, revealing the brown soup-stained shrimp meat inside, which is plump and attractive.
Feng Yuan finally ate the crayfish she had longed for. The moment she bit the shrimp meat with her teeth, the shrimp meat flicked between her lips and teeth, and soon the juice covered the tip of her tongue. She chewed it twice, and the only thought in her mind was -
—
The flavor is refreshing!
tender!
Fresh!
The spicy crayfish that she had been thinking about all morning did not disappoint her at all. It seemed to be more delicious than the one she had eaten in the morning!
Feng Yuan was so satisfied that her mouth was filled with just one crayfish. The crayfish was much fatter than before when she could only eat a little bit of meat. She almost burst into tears of joy.
Just as he was about to say a few words to Xiaopang, he heard a drunken voice coming from the opposite side of him, "Hiss—it's so delicious..."
The corner of her mouth twitched, and she watched her colleague who was already addicted to the delicious crayfish, and silently peeled off one.
Forget it, just stop talking and concentrate on eating.
Su Ning got tired of cooking, so she changed out of her chef uniform, sat on an empty seat, and got up with a piece of sesame snack. Before eating, she even took a photo and sent it to her mother, saying bluntly: "Mom, this is my work meal~"
】
Su’s mother: [I’m not young anymore, don’t fool me!]
Su Ning replied with a smile: "Really, I made it myself!"
Su’s mother: [Okay, if it’s true, eat more! 】
Su Ning's eyes were crooked. Unfortunately, she hadn't made any achievements yet. She didn't dare to tell her parents that she was working in a restaurant, which was a waste of her four years of study. So she only replied with "hmm" and closed the door.
