Chapter 1233: No Solution
According to Tang Wei, the food in this restaurant is really good, so it squeezed out other restaurants.
In addition, due to SARS, not only Shuimu University, but also several nearby universities with suspected cases began to close the school. Students could not go out, and there was no business, so they had to close temporarily.
The two chatted while waiting. Half an hour later, it was Tang Wei's turn. The cooks in the kitchen were busy and nearly ten boxes of lunch were finally placed in front of the two.
Tang Wei paid the money, and Shen Dapeng each took a few and walked to the school gate not far away.
It was already past twelve o'clock, and it was time for lunch after class. The school gate, which was deserted just now, suddenly became lively.
Parents of students who lived nearby carried lunch boxes, and parents who bought lunch for their children from nearby restaurants surrounded the iron fence, and many students stood inside the iron fence, looking for their parents.
Tang Wei quickly found a gap and stood there, stretching his neck to look inside.
Soon, several students came to Tang Wei and greeted him, staring at the lunch box in Tang Wei's hand with a greedy look.
"Don't worry, come one by one."
Tang Wei shouted, handed the lunch boxes to the students one by one, and collected the money from the students very skillfully.
Soon, Zheng Dan appeared in front of Shen Dapeng. She looked very haggard. Maybe it was because she didn't sleep well last night, and her eyes were a little dark.
"Brother Peng is here..." Looking at Shen Dapeng behind Tang Wei, Zheng Dan greeted him softly, and then looked at the lunch box in Tang Wei's hand, "Still the same?"
Tang Wei smiled, "Yes, it's still the dishes you like to eat, even the taste has not changed!"
Zheng Dan nodded silently, took the lunch box in Tang Wei's hand, and said hello to the two of them in silence, then turned and walked towards the dormitory.
"Hey... Hey..."
Now, not to mention Shen Dapeng, even Tang Wei was stunned. He stared at Zheng Dan's back and shouted a few times, wanting to say something, but Zheng Dan didn't mean to stop and walked further and further away.
"Huh? What's going on? She's not like this usually. What happened?"
Tang Wei scratched his head, looking puzzled.
At first, Shen Dapeng was also worried about Zheng Dan's unpleasant things, but he quickly reacted, patted Tang Wei's shoulder, and smiled gently.
"Don't you understand this? The idol in your heart is gone, how can you be happy in a short time?"
Tang Wei was reminded by Shen Dapeng, and he immediately understood. He remembered that he sang songs for Zheng Dan all night last night, and couldn't help but pat his forehead.
"Yes, yes, how could I forget about this? This girl is still thinking about that celebrity. She didn't say a word to me. I thought something was wrong. How can I be in her heart now?"
"Okay, don't worry about it. She will be fine in a few days." Shen Dapeng gently persuaded, "Let's go back."
Tang Wei nodded, turned around and looked at Zheng Dan's increasingly smaller back, and sighed, "Brother Peng, I have no status in Zheng Dan's heart now. What's the matter?"
Looking at Tang Wei's abandoned face, Shen Dapeng laughed and pulled Tang Wei's arm to walk to the bus stop.
"Wait..."
Tang Wei had just taken two steps when he suddenly signaled Shen Dapeng to stop and looked at the crowd outside the fence.
"What?" Shen Dapeng was stunned and looked in the direction of Tang Wei's gaze.
There were more than a dozen middle-aged people standing there, handing lunch boxes to some students inside the fence.
"What's so strange about their family members delivering food to them?" Shen Dapeng said impatiently.
Tang Wei's eyes were fixed on a slightly fat middle-aged man, and he pulled Shen Dapeng's sleeve and pointed to him, "See? That man is the owner of a Sichuan restaurant. I know him and have eaten there several times."
"What's so strange about this? People deliver food to their own children, isn't it okay?"
Tang Wei shook his head quickly and pointed to a small tricycle behind the fat man, "No, look, he is not delivering food to his own children at all?"
Shen Dapeng looked carefully and found that there were dozens of boxes of lunch neatly placed on the small tricycle behind the fat boss, and he was handing the boxes of lunch to the students in the fence one by one.
After the students got the lunch boxes, they handed the money through the iron fence again and handed it to the fat boss.
"This boss is also engaged in the business of delivering meals?" Shen Dapeng frowned.
"Yes, I just saw it too," Tang Wei's eyes flashed with a hint of light, "Brother Peng, come over and take a look?"
Shen Dapeng's heart moved and he nodded. The two of them quickly walked up and stood aside to watch the busy fat boss serving food and collecting money.
Ten minutes later, the tricycle was finally empty. The fat boss pointed at the thick stack of banknotes in his hand, wiped the sweat from his face, and put the money into his pocket.
"Boss, business is booming!"
Tang Wei smiled and walked up to say hello.
The fat boss was startled, and only recovered after he glanced at Tang Wei. His eyes lit up and he smiled at Tang Wei.
"It's Xiao Tang, why are you here too?"
"Aren't you here to deliver food?" Tang Wei looked the fat boss up and down, and then laughed: "Boss Zhang, why don't you stay in the store to take care of the business, but come here to deliver food in person?"
The Sichuan restaurant owner surnamed Zhang smiled slightly when he heard Tang Wei's words, "Several schools are closed now, students want to go out but can't, and there are not many customers in the restaurant. There is no other way..."
"There is no other way?" A trace of doubt flashed across Tang Wei's face.
"Yes, you see, the business in the store is not doing well, so we have to find a way to make some income, right? Otherwise, if I don't earn some hard-earned money, how can I pay the salaries of the employees in this store plus the monthly storefront rent?"
Shen Dapeng understood it after hearing this.
Because of SARS, the school was closed and the restaurant business was not doing well. In order to make more money and maintain his reputation, Boss Zhang personally delivered meals to students and earned some money.
"Boss Zhang, this kind of physical work is a disgrace to your status as a boss."
When Shen Dapeng thought of this, he couldn't help but joked with Boss Zhang in front of him.
Boss Zhang saw that Shen Dapeng and Tang Wei were together, so after hearing Shen Dapeng's joke, he smiled and waved his hands, "What's wronged? Don't you see the current situation? Everyone's business is not doing well. I am thankful to be able to earn some hard-earned money."
