Chapter 42 The Blind Man Comes for Dinner (1/2)
The next day, Xiao Bing saw off Zhang Yizhi and then returned to the noodle restaurant. The business of the noodle shop did not decrease too much during school days. The students did go to school, and they could only come at lunch or dinner time. However, Xiao Bing's reputation for noodle-making was spread and many people came to the noodle house, so the popularity of the Xiaoxiao Noodle House continued.
Everyone's work became even busier when Yezi was not there. It was a busy day. In the evening, Yezi came to help and Su Xiaoxiao also came.
Seeing Yezi and Su Xiaoxiao walking in one after another, Xiao Bing laughed while he kneaded the dough, ”Great, two free laborers at once. One of you can help Sister Hong and the other can help Auntie Wang and Dumbass by going to the kitchen. It's really tiring after a busy day.”
Yezi and Su Xiaoxiao spoke to Li Hong almost at the same time, ”Let me help you...”
Then the two girls looked at each other. Yezi looked like she was thinking of something, while Su Xiaoxiao was not willing to change her mind either.
Li Hong stood there and didn't know what to do. One was the manager's girlfriend and the other was the owner's daughter. Who should she listen to?
Su Xiaoxiao didn't know why she wanted to vie with Yezi. Even though they would both help no matter whether they were at the storefront or the kitchen, the one at the front could talk to Xiao Bing now and then. That was the big difference.
Su Xiaoxiao refused to give in, but Yezi said with a sweet smile, ”I have never done work like washing vegetables or cooking since I was a child. I came to the restaurant because I was afraid that everyone would be too tired, so I came here specially to help. Xiaoxiao, you definitely won't send me to the kitchen. Am I right?”
Hearing what Yezi said, Su Xiaoxiao was at a loss. Although her words were polite, her meaning was also obvious. ”This is your family's restaurant and your family is making money. Firstly, I don't take a salary. Secondly, I come here to help voluntarily. If all the jobs I don't like are imposed on me, does that feel right?”
Su Xiaoxiao was also a clever girl. Of course, she could understand this. So she regretted it in her heart. Even though Yezi won, but she also was caught. ”How could I suddenly say that, it really makes me look like a narrow-minded person.”
Su Xiaoxiao was a girl who could easily let it go. Naturally, she didn't worry about her dignity too much. She sighed in her heart but said with an embarrassed smile on her face, ”I was also afraid that the work in the front will be too much so you'll get tired. In this case, I will go to the kitchen to help Auntie Wang.”
Yezi smiled sweetly, ”Then let's do our jobs.”
With the help of these two effective laborers, everyone immediately relaxed a lot. But Xiao Bing's workload didn't decrease at all. Because he was the only one in the whole store who could make the exclusive noodles.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and the store also prepared to close after the guests left. A tall man came in from the outside.
As soon as the man stepped into the restaurant, Xiao Bing looked up at him. The man was over 30 years old, dressed in a shabby beige suit, wearing a pair of canvas shoes on his feet and a dark blindfold over his eyes.
Many people were attracted by the blindfold on his eyes. It was a thick dark blindfold, and it was impossible for the naked eye to see anything through the blindfold.
Li Hong and Li Jing looked at the man in surprise. Yezi felt something unusual from the man, but Xiao Bing was very calm.
The man looked at Xiao Bing through the blindfold as if he could see everything around him. Then he walked straight to the front desk with no expression, ”Please give me a bowl of noodles.”
Li Hong looked at him and felt cold all over. She reluctantly said, ”Okay. Please have a seat.”
The man did not speak. He turned around and was about to walk towards an empty table when Li Hong suddenly asked unexpectedly, ”Can you see the road there with a blindfold on your eyes?”
The man paused and said coldly, ”My eyes are blind. Is there any difference whether I can see the road clearly?”
Was there any difference?
There was none.
Li Hong suddenly felt colder. She was talking to a blind man, which was not unusual, but the blind man was looking at her when talking. And he walked without feeling around to test bit by bit, as if he could see everything in front of him. It was really too weird and terrible.
This man, of course, was the mysterious blind man Zhu Mingyu beside the North Heavenly Queen Peony Fairy.
Zhu Mingyu slowly sat down. Almost everyone could feel the coldness around him. Yezi came to Xiao Bing and whispered, ”This man is so strange...”
Xiao Bing glanced at Zhu Mingyu and said to Yezi as he kneaded the dough, ”Don't mess with this man. Don't assume that he can't see anything. He can actually see more clearly than a healthy person. Even though his eyes are blind, his heart is clear.”
