5, Chapter 5

After Su Ning finished chatting with the diners again, she found a young man with dull eyes walking in. Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly greeted him, saying warmly: "Welcome to the Dream Restaurant, what can I have something to eat?"

Zhang Wen came to his senses at the crisp voice and found that he had already come in and sat down.

The past few days have been confusing. He originally planned to come here, but because of his girlfriend, he never came. After eating the shredded chicken cold noodles here last time, he was shocked and wanted to bring his girlfriend over to eat.

It's a pity that my girlfriend broke out immediately because of that quarrel and said that the two of them should calm down for a while.

After this calm, she didn't answer the phone. Until today, Zhang Wen couldn't help it and ran to look for her. The intimacy between the two suddenly disappeared. Sitting in the coffee shop, a few barriers arose.

Looking at each other in silence.

In the end, nothing was said, it ended quietly, and everyone went home.

Yes, they originally lived together in this old city, but because of a quarrel, the girlfriend packed up her things and moved out.

Zhang Wen wanted to cry, but he also complained about his girlfriend's ruthlessness. It was obviously just a small matter, but it had to cause such a big fuss. Now he doesn't know how to end it.

It was more of a panic that he was about to go to her.

He has been with his girlfriend for three years, and he really likes her. He likes her so much that when he thinks that she will really leave and be with another man, his heart feels so uncomfortable that he almost suffocates.

But his girlfriend's attitude made Zhang Wen feel that he might soon face the scene he was afraid of.

So money is really so important?

"Of course it's important. Look at the food in my store, which one is free?" said a slightly familiar female voice.

Zhang Wencai realized that he had spoken out the problem unknowingly.

He rubbed his face in embarrassment and said with a smile: "Sorry, I'll order..."

He picked up the menu and found that there were two more dishes in the store, spicy crayfish and pepper chicken.

Speaking of peppercorn chicken, he subconsciously thought of his girlfriend. This is her favorite dish. He tried to make it from the video tutorial before, but unfortunately failed.

Because the house they rent does not have a kitchen, it is inconvenient to do many procedures.

Land is at a premium in City A, and even in the old town, the rent is not cheap. The combined total of their two companies is less than 10,000, and they can only afford to rent a single room.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little difficult to breathe.

"Just one peppercorn chicken, thank you." After Zhang Wen finished speaking, his eyes fell on the amount below, and he was shocked: "Two hundred peppercorn chicken?"

Su Ning smiled slightly and said: "Yes, do you want a mobile phone or cash?"

Zhang Wen felt a little regretful, but still didn't want to walk away in shame, so he said bravely: "Mobile phone."

Su Ning took out the QR code and confirmed the payment, and Joel had already delivered the peppercorn chicken.

There were no new guests for the time being, so the two returned to the kitchen to rest.

Outside, Zhang Wen looked at the delicious and fragrant pepper chicken in front of him. He silently picked up his chopsticks and took a piece to taste.

The peppercorn chicken is delicious, the best he has ever tasted, and of course the most expensive.

But to be fair, the taste of this peppercorn chicken is worth its price.

The chicken is soft and tender, without any earthy smell, and the spicy and peppery flavor is not greasy when tasted on the tip of the tongue. On the contrary, it whets your appetite and makes you want to eat some staple food.

Speaking of staple food, there was no rice on the menu. Zhang Wen subconsciously thought of the cold noodles he had last time and wanted to order it, but when he thought of the price, he paused.

He has no savings, but with such a small salary, he usually eats, drinks and has fun, earns money every month, occasionally goes out to play, and borrows one or two thousand to spend.

So it’s really what I said to my girlfriend.

Even if he wants to eat, he can't do whatever he wants because he doesn't have enough money.

The delicious taste exploded on the tip of his tongue, and the sadness ran rampant in his heart. As he ate, Zhang Wen shed tears unknowingly.

The resentment he had towards his girlfriend before he entered the restaurant disappeared.

He now feels that his girlfriend's decision is quite right, and it is not worthwhile to follow him.

Zhong Yu, the guest at the table next to him, looked up and saw this scene as soon as he finished eating. He was shocked and subconsciously comforted him: "Brother, why are you crying? Did something happen to you?"

Zhang Wen shook his head, wiped his tears and said vaguely: "No, it's okay."

Zhong Yu had eaten full today, was in a good mood, and was not short of money. He called the waiter and ordered a mung bean soup. Soon the mung bean soup came. He put the cup in front of Zhang Wen and said: "Brother, although I

I don’t know what’s going on, but how can an adult not feel any pressure, just get over it, I’ll treat you to this mung bean soup, it tastes really good, and it’s particularly spicy, I think you must be crying from the spicy food.”

He is a reporter who often interacts with people. He is cheerful and enthusiastic. Due to his profession, he understands all kinds of situations in the world and will try his best to help if he has spare time.

The young man in front of him seemed to have a story. He didn't want to explore it, he just wanted to give him a hand.

It was the first time that Zhang Wen was treated like this by a stranger. He was so moved that his tears flowed faster, and he choked up and said: "Thank you, thank you!"

"You're welcome!" Zhong Yu waved his hand, wiped his mouth gracefully and left.

Zhang Wen didn't bring any paper, so he could only wipe it with his hands. He was a little embarrassed, but he was already so embarrassed that he didn't care about it anymore. He picked up the mung bean soup and took a sip.

It has a cool texture and a sweet taste. After one sip, you can taste a lot of mung bean paste on your tongue, which takes away the spicy taste of peppercorn chicken.

The liquid entered the esophagus from the mouth and was cooled all the way. It actually dissipated a lot of the irritability and depression in his heart. His original pessimistic mood was relieved, and his eyes were no longer so sore.

Zhang Wen took a deep breath, looked at the half-drunk mung bean soup and the half-eaten peppercorn chicken, grinned, and looked much more determined, as if he had made a half-decision.

He took out his mobile phone, opened the pinned dialog box and typed: [Wenwen, I know I was wrong. I was ignorant before. You are right. A penny is too much for a hero. Without money, I can't even eat as I please.



[Wait for me, give me another chance, I promise I will never mess around like before...]

Because he had made a decision and was in an excited mood, Zhang Wen typed without any plan and said whatever came to his mind. When he came to his senses, the screen of the original dialog box had already been filled by him.

I thought I wouldn't get a response right away, but the moment Zhang Wen put away his phone, the screen lit up and it came from his little baby: [OK]

Zhang Wen suddenly stood up excitedly!

The guests around him were so surprised that he looked over. Zhang Wen quickly sat down, smiled apologetically, and continued to eat. This time when he ate pepper and chicken, it was no longer as sour as before, but in high spirits.

If his girlfriend is willing to give him another chance, he can always get up and achieve food freedom in the future!

People must have a goal. As confused as he was before, his girlfriend felt that she couldn't see the future.

He pursed his lips and smiled, carefully finished the last piece of food, and prepared to go out.

This time he looked at this place seriously, as if he wanted to memorize it deeply.

After this time, he plans to resign and find another job to work hard. He probably won't have time to come here for a long time.

Looking at it, Zhang Wen suddenly realized that the restaurant was really clean. It was no different from the first time he came here. Not only was the table clean and shiny, but the floor was also clean and seemed to be free from dust.

He exclaimed: "It's really nice here."

Zhang Wen kept it in mind that when his girlfriend forgives him, he will bring her here as soon as possible!

As for that handsome waiter, as long as his girlfriend forgives him, he doesn't care about anything.

At the same time, in the kitchen, Su Ning heard the voice of the system in her ear: [Ding! The task of 'collecting twenty-five diners' praise for the restaurant environment' has been completed, and the reward is 'Cool Summer Wallpaper' (which can increase the comfort of the restaurant)
