Capítulo 13: Chapter 13 The Aroma Mixed with Fear
Alvin sent Professor Wilson away, to ensure that it was already ten o'clock, and he had to hurry back. The restaurant business still needs to be completed.
The school doesn't give me a salary, and I still have to earn a living from the restaurant.
Say hello to Olivia, leave the office, and go around the school, surprising the bear cubs.
Seeing the bear children's trembling expressions, Alvin nodded with satisfaction.
I drove back to my restaurant in the pickup truck.
It was almost 11 when we got back to the restaurant, and Alvin pulled over to the side of the road.
Dom wisely opened the door and jumped down, then closed the door with his front paws, shaking his body, his shiny black fur showing ripples like water in the sunlight.
Yawning comfortably, Dom ran to the door and greeted Sol, and the two wolves touched each other's heads.
Then they went to the other side of the door and lay down.
There was a pile of dismantled construction waste piled up in front of the door. It seems that Uncle Cheng's construction progress is not bad.
Pushing open the door to the restaurant, Alvin saw Jessica wiping glasses at the bar.
Currently, the atmosphere seems to have improved as the house's restoration progresses.
Seeing Alvin come in, Jessica smiled broadly.
It's not dinner time yet, and there are not many customers in the restaurant. A young Hispanic woman and a black woman saw Alvin and immediately stood up.
With tears in her eyes, the black woman opened her arms and hugged Alvin tightly. She leaned his head on Alvin's shoulder and said, "Thank you! Thank You! Alvin, you are our Savior, you are a good man! Thank You!"
Alvin was stunned at her words, he didn't know where to put his hands because he was embarrassed, and looked at Jessica with questioning eyes.
Jessica, seeing Alvin's overwhelmed expression, was amused.
Then Jessica spoke to Alvin, "Eating car, Lilith and Archie."
Oh, that's enough.
Alvin pushed the black woman away gently and asked, "Are you Archie?" Before finally Alvin looked at another Latina woman, "Are you Lilith?"
The Latina followed the spirited tradition of South American girls, hugging Alvin warmly and leaving a trail of thick lips on his cheek.
"Yes, I'm Lilith, thank you! Alvin, God will bless you!" This Lilith is quite beautiful, estimated to be no more than thirty years old, with a hot body, but the pressure of life makes her look a little haggard.
A food truck given by Alvin, gives her new hope in life.
"If possible, I would like to invite you to my house for dinner tonight, as thanks for your generosity." After speaking, she looked at Alvin with sparkling eyes, as if he had a lot to say.
This obviously invited additional rewards, which made Jessica at the bar snort loudly.
The glass in his hand made a tremendous "quacking" sound, and it was in danger of shattering at any time.
Alvin shuddered, patted Lilith's shoulder, and gently pushed Lilith, who was leaning against his chest and looking at him.
Smiling, Alvin said, "I have received your thanks! My only hope is that you can run a fast food truck seriously and live your life hard. This world is too cruel for us, but we must not give up hope!"
What Alvin did made the two women very moved, they kept wiping their tears and kept saying "Thank you!"
The two black boys at the same table with them also stood up, the very black guys beat their chests with their fists, and pointed their hands at Alvin, which probably meant something like this, brother! I will always remember kindness in my heart, you can find me if you have any problems!
We are ready to go through fire and water without hesitation!
As the principal of a community school, Alvin was still very sensitive, and he waved to the two boys, "Come here, boys."
The two black boys ran over excitedly, and just as they were about to say hello, they were stopped by Alvin who raised his hand, saying, "Son, truancy is a serious crime in my school!" The two excited boys couldn't react at the moment, when Alvin spoke. Who is the de facto ruler of the neighborhood of Hell's Kitchen.
Great guy, still a terrible principal, at a community school.
The two boys, with black faces sprinkled with a layer of white ash, lowered their heads tremblingly, waiting for the Headmaster's trial. Both of them clearly suffered a loss, knowing that justifying the punishment would only make the punishment more severe.
Seeing their good attitude of confession, Alvin smiled tolerantly and said, "Since you have the energy to skip class, then clean the sidewalk in front of the door for me!" Looking at the two boys who wanted to run out, he continued, "It's not today, it's next week. I usually wake up at five in the morning. When I wake up, I want to see that I can lie down and sleep on the sidewalk in front of me. It's eleven o'clock, and you can catch up when you go to school at lunch time."
The two black boys looked at each other in despair, lowered their heads in annoyance, greeted their mother, and went to school.
Archie, the black woman, saw her two sons being punished, not only was not angry, but hugged Alvin, "Thank you very much Alvin, now only you can control these bad boys, sometimes I'm afraid They will go to prison like their father." With that, the sentimental woman began to wipe her tears again.
Alvin smiled and said to the two women, "It's getting late, I'm going to start my business, you go later and sit down first, I'll treat you to steak at noon." Then take them to their seats.
Then Alvin went to the bar and put on an apron, lit ten burners on the stove, placed ten small iron plates, and smeared them with a layer of olive oil.
The steak is marinated first and can be fried in an iron plate as soon as the oil is hot.
After busying himself for a while, Alvin turned to Jessica, who was still looking at Lilith and muttering something bad, he knocked her head, "Go and call Uncle Cheng down and let him eat. I'll be busy for a while after dinner."
Jessica held her head, looked at Alvin hatefully, and ran upstairs to call Uncle Cheng.
As the aroma of steak permeated the restaurant, guests arrived one after another. That's how it is every day, as if these people can count the time.
There was a palm-sized, half-inch thick steak on an iron plate, pasta, and fried eggs.
The first one was given to Uncle Cheng, who was curled up in the corner of the bar.
"Try my skills, don't be so restrained, Uncle Cheng is more relaxed, now you are the guest."
There is no ordering service here as there is only one dish, hot steaks for $20 each.
Drinks are only sold at night.
Jessica was busy serving glasses of lemonade to all the guests, then used a pine wood tray to deliver the steaks to the guests' tables in order.
Many guests who come here are attracted by Jessica. The local residents are busy with their lives at the moment, and they won't come here during the day.
It wasn't until evening that they came here to order beer and relax together when Alvin wasn't busy.
Alvin, standing in front of the stove, amusedly listened to several young men in suits and leather shoes, at first glance they looked like elite young men, listening to a blond young man boasting, how dare he enter Hell's Kitchen alone, how did he know about this restaurant.
It is said that the steak here tastes very special, and the aroma of steak mixed with the horror of Hell's Kitchen will have a special taste.
Alvin knew this guy, his adventures in Hell's Kitchen, could have written a joke book.
For the sake of advertising his restaurant, I won't reveal it.
Note: Yo, this will be a long story, you know I had quite a hard time translating this novel, so if you like reading it, give me a Power Stone, and add to Library!
