「You can buy it at the supermarket, do you need me to take you there?

Then go after eating.

You can also buy other things.」

阿寶 is very happy to help. Anyway, she has been very busy recently and has nothing to do.

「Billy, do you want to go?」

Of course Su wanted to go, but she asked the children for their opinions first, and if they didn’t want to go, they didn’t force it.

「Well, it’s where Alex lives anyway.

We want to go.」

Although Billy and Linda have forgotten what their brother looks like, they still want to know about Alex’s life.

「So what is this dish, it tastes sweet and salty.」

Jay quickly ate the next dish, which was a plate of turquoise vegetables and even meat in it.

「Fried pork with cabbage.

Does it suit your taste?」

阿寶 happily continued to introduce, and even everyone had eaten the bottom of the bowl.

「Salty and sweet.

But it goes well with rice.」

It seemed that the dish was to everyone’s taste, and there was no sign of resistance on their faces.

「What is the next one, why hasn’t it come yet.

I’m hungry.」

Billy seemed to be intrigued, and he couldn’t wait now, if only the waiter could be called over.

「I’ll come over later, and the dishes here are fresh.」

阿寶 is very proud of Taiwanese food, and besides, it is equivalent to Taiwanese culture.

「Well said, food is about freshness.」

Jay immediately followed and said, after all, it wouldn’t be too delicious if it was cold.

「Jay, can I buy this?

looks very tasty.」

Soon they came to the supermarket, and Billy was excited to find Dad with the cookies.

「Well, you can take whatever you want.」

Jay did not refuse.

After all, when you come to other countries, you have to try more, otherwise how can you understand the local culture.

「 what is this.

I don’t like.」

Billy had a stern look on his face as he struggled to pick up a dish.

「Bitter melon and salted egg.」

阿寶 didn’t expect anyone to dislike this dish so much, but after all, this is the food that best represents Taiwan.

「No wonder it’s so painful.」

Billy took the drink next to him and poured it into his mouth, which was obviously not to his taste.

「It’s really hard.

Oh my god.」

Jay also took a bite into it, but he soon regretted it and put down his chopsticks silently.

「Then try this dish, you may like it.」

阿寶 chose to recommend other dishes, at least the ones with less strong taste.

「What is this dish called, is it a seafood dish?

It tastes very special.」

Jay didn’t resist so much, maybe because there is no bitter feeling.

「Sacha celery stir fry

Do you like it?」

阿寶 mood is undoubtedly nervous now, after all, he is asking foreigners to comment.

「There is a special taste, what sauce is added in it.

It tastes salty.」

Su seems to be very interested.

After all, it is the place where his son lived in the past.

Of course, he must understand it thoroughly.

「It is added with sacha tea.

The raw materials are garlic, onion and peanuts.

It can also be used as a hot pot sauce.」

Of course, 阿寶 has done his homework in advance, and it is even more necessary to introduce him to foreigners.

「So where can I buy this sauce.」

Su was obviously planning to use it for cooking, and it would definitely be something the eldest son likes to eat anyway.

「Of course, you should like it.

And the food is also delicious.」

阿寶 is very confident in food, after all, she personally recommended it.

「I am looking forward.」

Jay has been waiting for a long time and now has the chance to eat Taiwanese food.

「We sit here.

You can eat whatever you want, I’ll treat you anyway.

Come on, here’s the menu.」

阿寶 is very generous to his guests, and besides, they came from afar.

「Billy, Linda, what are you going to eat?

Order yourself.」

Jay and his family came to the Taiwanese restaurant, but it was the one on the side of the road, and they also used small stools, as if it was a hot restaurant.

「When are we going to find our son.」

Although Su came to the restaurant, she still only thought about her son, and she hadn’t seen him for so many years.

「Wait a minute, let’s eat first.」

阿爆, she will help us.」

Jay was not so worried about his son’s safety.

Besides, there was no news, which meant that he had a good life.

「I believe there will be good news soon.」

阿寶 even knows about this, it seems that their family really trusts him.

「Thank you, Miss Wang.」

Su was very polite and thankful at the same time, but there seemed to be a sense of alienation.

「Then let’s eat quickly, the dishes are ready.」

There are almost all kinds of ups and downs on the table, 阿寶 wants to let everyone try it.

「thanks.」

Jay picked up the unfamiliar chopsticks.

Although he said that the way of using them was still a bit clumsy, he still had to cheer up.

After all, his son hadn’t found it yet.

名利跑馬燈＜頹廢＞433利

過了幾分鐘以後，菜都已經擺在廚房，幾乎都是那個年代會吃的東西。

從左到右依序是醬瓜、芥菜、荷包蛋，甚至是白飯，竟然不是美國吃的東西，反而是他小時候常常吃的東西。

看樣子Alex還是懷念他的故鄉，即使已經住在美國多年，也依然改變不了他思念著台灣。

不知該說這是慶幸還是不好的，反正可以證明他不是那麼討厭這裡，也可以證明他當年離開這裡是有很多怨恨。

「It’s so delicious, I’m sure I can cook.

How is it that no one believes me.」

Although Alex was eating, he burst into tears and even started to sob.

Just when Alex was already decadent, Jay and the others had already escaped, and they were just beginning to get acquainted with Taiwan.

Just walking on the streets of Taipei, it is still the kind of street where people come and go.

「Jay, I bought some fruit.

Next we go to lunch.」

A young woman approached, they already looked familiar.

「Ah…what.

I forgot your name.」

Jay’s family went out to go shopping and eat, but he forgot the people who took care of them.

「My name is 阿寶.

I see us walking to the restaurant, not very far anyway.」

This woman was the one who saved them in the first place, and she is still helping now.

「OK, let’s go.

Is it Taiwanese food?」

Jay is looking forward to eating Taiwanese food, after all, this is his son’s hometown, of course.

「 It’s for me to sell this restaurant to someone else.

I don’t currently need it.」

Alex seems to be holding on to something, even though the store is no longer in business.

「No, it’s a decision for everyone’s sake.

You will be satisfied, trust me.」

Andy looked like he was swearing, and then he took out the lease contract, and at first glance, he came prepared.

「You are the landlord of this store, and there was no way I could see you before.

Why did he suddenly show up, what are the conditions?」

Alex immediately became vigilant, after all, the timing of this man’s appearance was just too good.

「Of course I have conditions, and it is a good decision for this restaurant.

Mr. Ai, please change the owner of this restaurant.」

Andy did this because he knew the real purpose of the woman.

「Why, this is the storefront I finally got.」

Alex was waiting for the man to give him a statement he could accept.

「The store next door will not let you go.

If you die, the store will definitely fall into their hands.

Do you want your heart and soul not.」

Andy’s words were both threats and persuasion.

「By the way, we can’t let a third person know about the matter between us.」

Alex finally compromised, probably because only the two of them knew.

「no problem.

I am the most trustworthy person.

Say goodbye to this shop by yourself.」

Andy left with the lease agreement satisfied, still with a bright smile.

「In the end it was just me.

Now I can finally do what I want.」

The look on Alex’s face looked lonely, but he still planned to go to the kitchen.

I saw him start cooking in the kitchen, and even cooking porridge, all of which he did were actually for someone.

It’s a pity that that person is no longer there, and now there is only himself left, and these are the last things he can do.

「Boss, what you said is too much.

I can’t even listen to you, boss, you can do it yourself.」

Frank and the others obviously heard it outside.

Besides, it was because of the chef that he stayed here, so it was unnecessary.

「OK, you go.」

Alex knew that once the chefs left, he would really be alone, but the problem was that he couldn’t even pay the salaries of the employees.

「Boss, let’s go first.

You take care of yourself and don’t drink too much alcohol.」

Lori was obviously still nostalgic, and he didn’t forget to care about the boss when he was leaving.

「Lori, go.

There is nothing to miss here.」

Frank pulled Lori away, without even giving him a chance to say goodbye to the store.

「It’s better to go, so you don’t have to stay here and wither with me.

Why, why don’t you go.」

Alex was still talking to himself, but unexpectedly, a person suddenly appeared next to him.

「Hello Mr. Ai, do you have time now?

Maybe we can talk.」

Andy’s sudden visit seemed to have other ideas.

「Who are you, how can you enter the store without my consent.」

Alex was very wary of the strange man in front of him.

After all, he didn’t know whether the man in front of him was an enemy or a friend.

「I am here to help you.

My name is Andy and this is my business card.」

Of course Andy was sure that Alex would compromise, so he came without saying hello.

「Well, what’s the matter with you.

We don’t seem to know each other.」

Although Alex took the business card, he didn’t mean to greet the man, after all, he came uninvited.

「That’s it, I want to talk to you about this storefront.

You will surely be satisfied with this proposal.」

Andy had made preparations in advance, and it turned out that this moment was what he had been waiting for.

名利跑馬燈＜頗有微詞＞430利

「 Luke, you are really confident.

I wish I could be as optimistic.

Too bad I’m not that kind of person.」

Alex obviously did not intend to cheer up, he was still in a state of self-pity.

「Alex, don’t do this.

We can get through it, as long as you cheer up.」

Luke still wanted to do something for Alex, so he kept insisting.

「Impossible, I have no confidence in this store.」

Alex couldn’t listen to anything Lucco had to say now, he just wanted to numb himself with alcohol.

「Alex, how can you say such a thing.

The staff at this restaurant are very critical of you.

You also want them to look down on you.」

Hearing these deflated words, Luke became angry on the spot and began to blame Alex.

「Yes, that’s why I am.

The employees didn’t believe me anyway.

Why should I do this.」

Alex is already in a state of half giving up, and he is not even willing to argue for himself now.

「God, it won’t.

You can’t be like this, those employees are still waiting for you.」

Luke’s expression was about to collapse.

He couldn’t believe that the arrogant Alex would say such a thing.

「What you said was really easy.

You are not running the restaurant, how can you say such a thing.

The waiters in the store changed batches after batches, but the business still did not improve.」

Alex, who was still depressed, is now angry.

「Is what you said true?

Isn’t this restaurant run by all of us?

Don’t we think of a way.」

Just now Luke was still talking well, but he also started to speak loudly in the office.

「Yes, but it didn’t work.

You might as well think about how to get those employees out of the restaurant, that’s the best thing for me.」

As soon as Alex said it, he regretted it, but what he said could no longer be said.

「You are speaking the truth.

Very good, I won’t be coming back.」

Of course Luke was angry.

After all, he came from a long way to support Alex, but he didn’t expect this result, so he left on the spot in anger.

名利跑馬燈＜離心＞429利

「Those clerks and clerks have left, and they may not come back.」

Luke was telling the truth, but it was a little crueler, but it was also for Alex’s good.

「That’s fine, I don’t need them anyway.」

Of course what Alex said was angry words, after all, he also has self-esteem.

「What, you are talking nonsense.」

Luke obviously still needs those employees, otherwise the restaurant wouldn’t be able to do it.

「No, I don’t need them.

Because they have ditched the restaurant.」

Alex wasn’t going to back down, and even if those employees wanted to come back, it wouldn’t be so easy.

「What about the restaurant business?

You are the boss, think of a way.」

Luke was worried that if it continued like this, everyone would really lose their jobs.

「I don’t know this either.

All the ways I can think of have been used.

But the business of the restaurant is getting worse day by day.」

Alex felt depressed at the thought of this, so he resorted to drinking to ease his worries.

「It’s over, if we continue like this, we can only close the restaurant.」

In the past, Luke was comforting Alex, but now even he is starting to lose his mind.

「 possible.

I think it’s faster to drink.」

This time even Alex gave up the restaurant and started drinking.

「No, how can that be.

This is your restaurant, how can you give up when you say give up.」

Luke seems to be giving Alex confidence, but he is actually giving himself confidence.

「Lucky, forget it.

I see we are still.」

Alex has long since lost his high spirits, and now all that remains is decadence.

「Alex, let’s try again.

It will definitely last, as long as it lasts for a while, the rumors will pass.」

Luke didn’t know what he was relying on to persevere.

Anyway, his will power was very strong.

名利跑馬燈＜私底下＞428利

「Alex, you don’t care about those clerks.

How can they not come to work now.

I’d like to dismiss them immediately.」

Luke looked at Alex angrily, as if blaming him for not doing anything.

「Don’t worry about this, they have automatically resigned.

So I don’t have to pay a salary.」

Alex spends all day drinking alcohol to relieve his worries, and has long ignored the affairs of the store.

「Could it be that the rumor is true, the championship of your cooking competition was really obtained by cheating.」

Looking at Alex like this, Luke couldn’t help but begin to doubt the veracity of the rumor.

「Why, even you don’t believe me.

You are my best friend.」

Alex believes that without evidence, his reputation can be saved, so he never admits it.

「You know what your employees are saying about you in private.

Saying you can’t cook at all, the chef’s license is stolen.

Are you not angry.」

Luke was in trouble with Alex, and they had known each other for so many years.

「I know, so what.

The mouth grows on them, and it can’t be controlled.」

Alex just kept drinking, he didn’t want to prove anything.

「That’s how you are and those employees don’t respect you.」

Luke couldn’t stand Alex’s indifferent attitude, as if he had given up.

「Yes, you are right.」

Alex actually admitted it, and he didn’t want to refute it, because that’s what happened.

名利跑馬燈＜聲望已毀＞427利

「你想到了沒，要知道前一段時間老闆的聲望已毀了。

店內都沒有生意，店員都乾脆不來上班。」

布蘭妮現在開始擔心自己下一餐的著落，畢竟只有她還留著。

「我知道，但這哪有那麼快。

你也讓我想一下。」

布魯斯也知道店裡的情況已經很嚴重，但他就是想不出來。

「唉呀，真是急死人了。

就不能快點。」

布蘭妮只能來回一直不停跺步，再說她真的很緊張。

「你不要走了，走的我頭暈。

這也沒辦法，誰叫之前那個謠言真的傷太大。」

布魯斯說的無非就是有人造謠生勢，但是問題是大家都相信。

「那你就快想。

不然我們可能很快就要失業。」

布蘭妮現在已經不管老闆是否在場，反正她現只在乎自己。

「噓，小聲點，你是瘋了嗎？

萬一被其他人聽到怎麼辦。」

布魯斯說的其他人當然是也包括老闆在內。

「管他的，我現在都要失業了。

還怕別人聽到啊。」

布蘭妮只是覺得老闆太可憐，是基於同情心才繼續留下來。

「你這個女人真是，就不能考慮老闆的感受。」

布魯斯雖然也不怎麼相信老闆會是清白的，但畢竟只是謠言。

「隨便你怎麼說，反正現在快想出辦法。

不然客人會被他們搶走。」

布蘭妮擔心再這樣繼續下去，可能店面也保不住。

「我知道，我也很想要。」

布魯斯這種時候還真的是什麼也想不出來。

聽說人在急的時候，就愈無法冷靜思考。
