Chapter 616 Wallet
The day after Ma Lu returned from Houde, the business of the Universe Infinite Canteen was still booming.
For this reason, he decided to increase the supply of 100 additional dishes, but it only lasted for half an hour, and all the dishes on the menu were sold out before 2 p.m.
He Xiaoqian hung a closing sign at the door of the restaurant, and everyone who had been busy for a long time gathered around a table to prepare for a staff meal.
Just then a pigeon landed in front of the restaurant.
When Malu saw the pigeon, he was stunned for a moment, put down his chopsticks, and said to the three women, "I'll go out for a while, you can eat first."
Then Sun Mei saw Malu push open the store door and walk out, talking to himself about the pigeon, then shook his head and nodded again.
He took out his mobile phone, entered something, and put the watch on his hand up.
The pigeon pecked the watch twice, spread its wings, and flew away.
And Malu also came back from outside, looking in a good mood.
Sun Mei looked shocked, "How long has he been like this...? Didn't you persuade him to take a look?"
"Hmm."
Malu returned to his seat and said to Ma Youyou, "I'm going to the mental hospital with Lao Wang tonight. Can you help me get in and out? I made an appointment with someone to clean the spider lair in Nightmare Town at seven o'clock.
"Okay," Ma Youyou nodded, "Also, boss, don't forget the interview with Meiping.com in the afternoon. Team Leader Yu originally said he would come yesterday, but you turned him down." ”
"Ah, why is there still an interview? Well, let me ask her to come over now." Ma Lu looked at the time on his phone and said
About 40 minutes later, a taxi stopped outside the restaurant.
Yu Yizhuo and David walked down from above.
Today Yu Yizhuo wore a yellow windbreaker, a dark blue half-length skirt, and a scarf around his neck. At first glance, he looked like Tang Wei in "Late Autumn".
She knocked on the glass three times before pushing the door open and coming in, "Boss Ma, we meet again."
"Team Leader Yu, you're fine." Ma Lu put down the half-finished short video in his hand.
"I don't seem to have officially congratulated you on winning the Asian championship in this MasterChef competition."
"Ah, it's just a false reputation. I don't take it to heart at all." Malu waved his hand.
He was still humbled, but when he followed Yu Yizhuo's gaze, he saw the trophy on the counter.
He specially placed the trophy in the most conspicuous place to ensure that every guest who walked in could see it at first glance. Ma Lu also specifically told He Xiaoqian to wipe it twice a day.
Fortunately, Yu Yizhuo didn't dwell too much on this topic. He found a table and asked David to set up the camera.
Yu Yizhuo once again congratulated Ma Lu for winning the championship, and then got down to the topic.
"Boss Ma, as far as I know, you are not a professional chef, and no one in your family seems to be engaged in catering. How did you come up with the idea of running a restaurant?"
"Oh, it's like this. I actually had a dream of opening a restaurant since I was a child, but my parents definitely wanted me to live a stable life of clocking in from nine to five, so I went to college step by step.
"Then what made you change your mind?" Yu Yizhuo asked next.
"Emotions, for emotional reasons, gave me a head-on blow and made me realize... I can no longer live in such a hazy state. I decided to muster up the courage to chase my childhood dream!"
Malu continued to talk nonsense, saying that Lao Wang had a special identity, so Malu consciously downplayed his existence in the interview, lest bored netizens go all over the world to check Lao Wang's background.
Yu Yizhuo's body swayed, but she still tried to control the expression on her face in front of the camera, but her voice was slightly trembling.
"It turns out that Boss Ma took this path because of emotional problems."
"Yes, it is well known that I am a very emotional person." Ma Lu nodded.
"Let's... let's talk about the Master of Cooking competition. You started from a small stall, accumulated your first pot of gold, and established the Universe Infinite Canteen two months later. It can be said to be very inspiring.
"However, in this process, you have always presented yourself as the boss, not the chef. How did you come up with the idea of participating in the MasterChef competition in person this time?"
"Because there is a bonus, and President Sun is also very enthusiastic and keeps inviting me, hoping that I can help him discipline his rebellious granddaughter." "The rebellious granddaughter... refers to Chef Sun Mei, who won the runner-up in this Master of Chef competition. I noticed that you had frequent interactions with Chef Sun Mei during the three days of the competition.”
"And after the game, someone posted a video on Douyin, breaking the news that Chef Sun Mei is now working at your place. Is this true?"
"Yes." This kind of thing cannot be concealed, so Malu admitted it simply.
"Are you and...Chef Sun Mei in love?"
"No, Chef Sun Mei is my friend. She wants to practice with me for a while. Of course I welcome her."
"If you're practicing...why not be in the kitchen, but be a waiter?"
"What you said is wrong. Service is also very important." Malu said sternly, "Especially for chefs, it is crucial to understand the needs of customers, so it is reasonable to start practicing here."
"But I often see some diners online complaining that you and your restaurants are too independent and rarely consider the mood of your customers."
"This is a higher level of self-focus. Only a very small number of very, very talented chefs can achieve this level."
"I see. Speaking of talented chefs, what do you think of the upcoming World Championships?"
"I hope I can meet some opponents who can resist for a while, so that I can feel the tension of the finals a little bit."
"…………"
The entire interview lasted for about an hour. After it was over, Yu Yizhu handed over a handbag.
Inside was a shirt and a wallet.
The shirt was the one that Ma Lu had lent to Yu Yizhuo to cover the blood stains. Now it has been completely washed.
Malu then picked up the wallet.
"This is a gift to thank you for being willing to accept our tracking and filming during the competition, as well as the exclusive interview afterwards." Yu Yizhu explained.
Ma Lu looked at the COACH classic three-stripe short wallet with a strange look on his face, "You stole my phone?"
"Absolutely not." Yu Yizhuo said.
"I was talking about when I was in school, otherwise how would you know about this wallet?"
Yu Yizhen was startled when he heard this, and said after a moment, "When you went to take a shower, a notification popped up on the screen, saying that the wallet you were following was restocked."
"Then you think I like this wallet? Ah... you still like to think nonsense as always."
"Don't you like it?"
"It's hard to say that I don't like it, I just don't feel anything about it. The only reason I paid attention to it at that time was because I saw that you were working too hard and wanted to buy some A-grade products to sell in school. In fact, I paid attention to it for about 20 years at that time. wallet, this is just one of them.”
"Really? Then give it back to me." Yu Yitong reached out to get his wallet back.
But Ma Lu retracted his hand, "Since you gave it away, don't ask for it again. Anyway, you can get reimbursed by the company's finance."
"That's right."
"Isn't this the A product?"
"I bought it at the counter just the day before yesterday."
"Okay, do you have anything else to do?"
"No, I'm back to work."
"Go slowly and don't see me off."
