What will Mr. Koo buy today?

"okay."

Gu Shang nodded, then froze for a moment, nodded again, and walked to the small square Mala Tang pot next to the counter.

Zhao Xingluo took the prepared disposable plate and handed it to him. Seeing Mr. Gu staring at the gurgling Malatang in the pot, he felt that his expression was too complicated for food.

That demeanor didn't look like he was watching a pot of Malatang, it seemed like he was facing someone who could arouse at least three emotions in him, and whose relationship could make up a novel with more than [-] words.

At this moment, Gu Shang's thinking didn't spread as far as [-] words, but he was still quite surprised, and then he began to reflect meditatively on the source of this surprise.

He is not the type who can immediately say "um, yes" to people and things that he has not tried before, but just now, his subconscious mind walked ahead of reason, and he naturally agreed.

Is it because the aroma smells familiar?Or some other reason.Gu Shang felt strange and curious about his current mental state, and continued to stare at the pot of Malatang with that meaningful gaze.

"Konjac shreds..." Zhao Xingluo looked at Gu Shang who was staring straight at the pot, and after thinking about it, he opened his mouth.

"Ok?"

"Konjac shreds are delicious." Zhao Xingluo said.

"Oh well."

Gu Shang came back to his senses, took a bunch of konjac shreds and put them on his plate, and picked some vegetables and meatballs to take away.

……

It was only when Gu Shang returned home that he realized that he rarely chose konjac silk before, did he never choose?He looked at the bowl in front of him because Zhao Xingluo's superb packaging skills packed it tightly, and until now it was still steaming hot, the first chopstick still picked up a piece of konjac shreds.

"Well."

Gu Shang groaned, and was shocked twice.

Konjac shreds are so delicious, and the taste is too familiar.

Isn't this the smell of the Malatang store that moved away?Wait, is konjac shredded so delicious?But why does the newly added malatang in Fanglin Convenience Store taste exactly the same as the original one?No, is konjac shreds really so delicious?

Gu Shang rampages through the maze of these two unsolved mysteries and then short-circuits.

On the other side, in the Fanglin convenience store.

At this moment, the nearby residents came back from get off work and school one after another, and there were several people lined up in front of the Malatang pot, which surprised the old apprentice.

"I don't think it's particularly tasty. I originally thought that the little master and Brother Wang would talk about a long-term cooperation. Buying ingredients from the cold chain so far away would definitely make the store lose money. I didn't expect it to be so popular."

The old apprentice looked at Zhao Xingluo with admiration, and said movedly, after all, the store has a lot of income, maybe the boss might give them a salary increase.

"Although Wang Ge's base material is less irritating, it is all genuine material, without any additions, and there were some regular customers before." Zhao Xingluo said.

The old apprentice nodded, and felt that something was wrong.

"But when their family didn't move out, the business wasn't necessarily better than ours."

"There should be a bonus." Zhao Xingluo seemed to be in a good mood today, and even made a joke, pointing to himself and saying, "It's delicious."

Old apprentice: "=.="

The old apprentice stared at Zhao Xingluo for a while, then sighed, "Such a beautiful face, why don't you just let it go..."

……

After getting Malatang 2.0, it seems that Gu Shang came to Fanglin Convenience Store to report frequently again.

Zhao Xingluo felt that he was hesitant to speak these days. He didn't know whether it was because Gu Shang didn't have a haircut recently or Zhao Xingluo's illusion. He always felt that his head seemed to be getting bigger.

"Mr. Gu, is today's Malatang okay?"

Finally one day, Zhao Xingluo asked very kindly in accordance with the principle of good neighborliness, because he subconsciously felt that the question that Gu Shang was holding back in his heart might have something to do with the newly added Mala Tang in the store.

"Okay," Gu Shang nodded, "Yes...it's pretty good." He thought for a while, and added another sentence.

"This taste..."

Now that he had a conversation, Gu Shang asked it out naturally.

"I think it's very similar to the store next door."

"Oh, this, this is the base material of the house next door." Zhao Xingluo said with a smile.

"Didn't they move away?"

"Well, yes," Zhao Xingluo nodded, "Several customers came to inquire after they moved out. I thought it would be nice to have a snack in the store now that the night was long, so I made a suggestion to the boss and tried I contacted Brother Wang about the cooperation, and it was done as soon as I talked about it."

"Really?" Gu Shang nodded.

Although Zhao Xingluo's explanation was very measured, and he did not take credit in front of Gu Shang, but showed that his move was just a help between neighbors, but Gu Shang still understood in his heart that he lacked fresh vegetables and his preference for light taste What is the approximate proportion of the reasons for this commercial action?

He glanced at a small book that Zhao Xingluo put on the counter, and he could tell from the style that it was one of the small books in the box he brought back with his divine power last time.

"Have you started reading yet?" Gu Shang said.

"Well, this box of books is very easy to read. You can finish one book in a few days." Zhao Xingluo nodded and picked up the book.

Gu Shang glanced at it. Judging from the name and binding style, it should be a collection about the flavor of his hometown.

"May I take a look at it?Halfway through Gu Shang's words, Zhao Xingluo nodded and handed the book to him.

Gu Shang flipped through a few pages of the book, and seemed to find a text that he was very interested in. He raised his eyes and glanced at Zhao Xingluo, and then slowly began to read.

Zhao Xingluo was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this Buddhist Mr. Gu seemed to be expressing his gratitude in a very special way.

He knew what he mainly contributed to the Malatang incident, and then directly responded in this way.

He must have remembered that he said that he liked this kind of little book, that his voice was nice, that he had insomnia, and that he made himself sleepy when he read a book last time. He remembered all these small details. of.

Zhao Xingluo laughed, but his expression became a little blurred. He looked up and saw that it was past two o'clock in the morning, and normal tiredness was hitting him like never before.

"If you're sleepy," Gu Shang finished reading a paragraph and glanced at Zhao Xingluo, "you can sleep a little bit, and I'll help you look after the store, if your boss doesn't check the monitoring every day."

Zhao Xingluo laughed and shook his head, "The boss won't care about this kind of thing, just ask a friend to replace him and ask him back, as long as he doesn't close the store without authorization, it will be fine."

"Then go to sleep." Gu Shang said.

"Well, I'll trouble you, Mr. Gu." Zhao Xingluo nodded, lay down on the counter, and closed his eyes with his elbows on his head.

Hearing Gu Shangping's gentle and deep voice, he fell asleep at an unprecedented speed.
