Me? Oh I’m Kali, Kali Green

Chapter 4 - So, What Will It Be?

When we finally arrived at the restaurant it was late in the morning around 11 and some, the three were surprised and at the same time awed of the building. They were awed at how new and clean and colorful it is. Surprised at the fact that there was a restaurant here that didn't exist some weeks ago.

I lead them to the front double door that's wooden red. Yup typical. But who gives a. As we went close the three were surprised that i was taking them to eat here.

"It's closed." We came to the door but the three stopped, Zhang said while Markus was just standing there looking at the name of the restaurant. Charles was looking around just wondering. I took out a key and unlocked the door walking in.

"Close the door behind, would you." I said walking to the kitchen.

"You own this place?" Charles asked

"No i took it from a fragile old lady and made it my own, sit down make yourselves comfortable and wait for me." I said walking in the kitchen putting on a my chefs apron and heating up the stoves, making space, and then so on.

I took a peak at the three, Zhang had his head down on the table taking a nap, Charles was trying his best not to fall asleep, and Markus sitting with arms crossed and closed his eyes... or maybe his just asian. But anyways the group seemed to be tired i mean they had to be right i found them trying to rob a lady in the early morning. Who the hell robs people in the mornings? That was rhetorical question but you know what i mean. As we walked here we had small talks and they told me a little about themselves.

Markus was half Chinese and half American i guess he took after his American side with his name. The kid has black hair spiked up with brown eyes with a mole on the top right of his lips and is about 5'4 being the shortest in the group, and though his the shortest he had some muscles on him which i guess gave him some advantage.

Charles was full on white with blonde hair looking like the typical young American blonde justin bieber. He was the tallest of the group standing around at 5'7, he and Markus are both 16 and grew up together in the orphanage at a certain age together and Charles was the brain growing up while Markus was just an idiot wanting to fight everyone who looks at him wrong.

They were the typical duo, a big softie who has the brains and the short problem maker who only has fighting in the head.

On the other hand there was Zhang, he was full Chinese if you didn't already know given the name. He was the oldest of them and had the classic bowl cut of china, he had a rough life, abusive parents, strict with school and the moment he does something wrong he gets beaten bloody by the father who is said to have gang relations with the triads. At some point he knew it won't be good for him so he ran away where he met the duo Charles and Markus.

And that is the story of the three stooges, but that was their past and if everything goes well i plan to change it and make their lives easier in some ways.

After close to an hour i walked out with a giant round platter dish filled with plates and bowls with food on them. Like chickens getting their baby chicks taken away they woke up like they took 10 hour energies and c.o.c.ked their heads my way.

"Haha" I mean I can't blame them the day i started cooking with this godly skills of mine I couldn't stop eating for half a day. And aromatic smell teasing your nose makes it worse too.

I started putting plates and bowls on the tables while their wide eyes looked at each one slowly with drools running down their mouths. This wish that i made was %1000 percent worth it. And it's me thats cooking and i could cook for myself anytime i want.

"Alright" I sat down with them right now should be breakfast but i made more than breakfast with classic American pancakes, eggs, sausage, and more with rice and lots of meat like roasted tender pork loins and such.

"So what do you usually do before eating, pray? Give thanks?" I sat down with them getting ready to eat with them. I asked but it didn't seem like they even listened.

"AYE" I slapped the back of Markus' head and he closed his mouth looking at me but this time he didn't even look mad he looked more embarrassed and sorry. The other two snapped into reality with my shout looking my way.

"If you don't close your damn mouths than your gonna make a river in my damn building." I said grabbing a spoon on my left and chopstick on my right.

"Dig in, and shut your traps and stop drooling, we'll talk after." I said starting with the eggs.

The three nodded and started eating, i observed them and the moment they tasted the food they unintentionally m.o.a.n.e.d, which they couldn't hold in and held their mouths looking at each other. I looked at them and couldn't help but let out a snicker, they were embarrassed for a moment before remembering that warm great taste and with shock they started digging in aggressively.

I honestly have to thank god that this world follow some rules and not anime-like or else these three idiots clothes would have been blown off more than a hundred times since we started eating. And they started not givin a shit and m.o.a.ning and screaming how delicious and soft it is.

Less than half an hour later the three finally finished not being able to fit in anymore food in their stomach, Markus was rubbing his bloated stomach, Zhang was in a frustrated situation not being able to eat anymore delicious food, while Charles just finished with a piece of bacon and drank his water. I on the other hand had finished my plate a while ago and was just waiting for them.

"That all adds up to a total of $185 and some change, i charge a meal $20 and that was almost 10 meals altogether excluding my one plate, now will that be cash or card?" I said with a beaming smile at the three dumbfounded trio. Well they're not all lost for words, like Charles he is calmly wiping his mouth with the napkin, on the other hand the other two was having a crisis.

Zhang was lost and panicky not knowing what to do, not thinking if i was joking or not. Markus stood up from his seat

"You didn't tell us we had to pay!" Markus said

"No I didn't, but I also didn't say you won't pay" I said

"We're as broke as a rats a.s.s and you think you could shake out what we don't have, what's your goal in this?" Markus responded he would have gone crazy shouting at me but seeing the brain of the group Charles just sitting there calmly also calmed him a little.

"So what do you think?" I turned to Charles as I think he might have got my intentions in this plan of mine.

"I guess you really didn't bring us here just to feed us." He said everyone looking at him

"What does he mean by that?" Markus asked looking back at me

"If I'm not wrong then you are looking to hire us, or if there are any reasons then i don't know. Considering you know about our lives and and the sign outside looking to hire, that's what i could come up with plus there is the fact that you stopped us in the middle of a mugging and not calling the cops and turning us in." Charles said with a thinking pose and what he said made the other have thoughts on their own.

"Haha your really are a smart kid." I commented and looked at them.

"So... What will it be?" I asked with a nonchalant expression. I looked at all three of them, they weren't sure whats up since this opportunity is right in front of them and its a good thing, but they also felt it's too good to be true. The two looked at Charles as they already did some thinking of their own and it's time to see if theres any pros and cons from Charles.

"Can you be more specific on what exactly it is you mean when you say hire?" He asked feeling there was more to this.

"Ugh it's just a normal hire I mean it's not like joining a cult and I'm not taking your damn freedom your just working as servers or whatever it is that needs filling, plus i got no one on my payroll so i need lots of workers with this big place." I said with an eye roll.

"Well you taking the job or not? I mean either you do or i call the cops, you do owe me around 185 and some change and I'm not about to let you go after eating my graceful food." I said not giving much of a choice.

"Alright, we'll take it." Charles nodded at the two which they nodded back before saying. All three looking at me waiting for whats next.

"Haha great now hold on." I went to the back and got some job applications and gave it to them.

"Fill them in, for pay we'll start around maybe $20 an hour if everything goes well. Oh if you guys don't have anyplace to go i have a room and a couch upstairs I don't care how you do it share it or whatever as long as you don't break nothing, don't waste ingredients and don't make a mess. But most importantly don't break anything or I'll break your legs, now that thats mostly over... do you guys know anyone who might be looking for a job thats good in a restaurant? Or that knows their way around a kitchen?" I asked since i need more workers, I mean come on the place can fit over at LEAST 60 people with a max of about 100 and some if we make space. Im glad it's big i plan to make a one of a kind restaurant with the help of my cooking skills.

"We might know a couple of people, some are orphans and some are just looking for some extra bucks." Zhang said

'Oh so he speaks and here i thought he was not much of a talker or was mute, hehe" I nodded i guess the job and a place to stay warmed him up

"Well talk to them and if they're serious about them then bring them to meet me, oh I'm giving you an opportunity here so don't f.u.c.k it up going out for muggings or just making general problems." I said

"Of course, of course and thank you for giving us a chance instead of turning us in" charles said

"Thanks man" Markus thanked me scratching the back of his head which made me chuckle

"Yes thank you boss thank you." Zhang got up bowed twice in thanks and what he said made me think.

"Oh I'm a boss now I didn't think of it, now just call me boss or just Mr.Green." I said standing up

"Uh boss what does this mean exactly." Zhang came up and pointed at his application paper not knowing what some of them means. Which got me thinking they don't really know much huh? And they basically don't have some of this information, I mean they barely go to school and being orphans and runaways with no home address or phone makes it hard for applying for jobs.

"Huh" I grabbed the paper and crumbled it throwing it into a near trash can.

"Don't worry about them just get yourself familiar with the place, we're not opening today but it will be soon so just get to know the place and get more people who's looking for work." I walked to the entrance and turned back

"Im going out, oh and I'm serious about the breaking things. Don't break anything or I'll f.u.c.k.i.n.g break your legs, aright punks seeya." I said, threatened, and waved at them.

I left the restaurant with three punks who still couldn't believe it.

"Aright time to go explore the city." I walked away i wasn't really worried about the three stealing or anything they need me as much as i need them.

Walking around for about an hour, there is not that much difference between this new york and the real life new york, though there seemed to be more crime which makes it a perfect place for starting a vigilante hero career. But thats not me, of course I'll help whenever i can and want but I'm not about to start wearing some tights or customs just to go save people. I mean sure it helps protect your identity but i don't even have Shitt worth hiding like families or friends, plus ill just use something to cover my head if i ever decide to go be a hero. But now that i think about it the Avengers don't really care about their identities, Captain America didn't hide his identity since he's just a soldier out of his time, Tony had enough weapons to protect himself so he didn't care about hiding his identity, Thor, well Thor was a god, and neither did the original Avengers. But being in the public can cause trouble for my restaurant which I don't want. But i guess ill make some plans in case that shitt ever happens.

On my walk i ended up on the docks and seeing the ocean breathing in fresh air, i stayed for a couple minutes before looking back to see the docks building where shipments and seafood go through. I walked there to the entrance moving the see through plastic covers thats connected on the top of the entrance ( Idk what the f.u.c.k it's called). Entering some men stopped what they were doing and looked at me, oh and i was still on my joggers and running clothes. They wondered who the hell i am but I didn't give a shitt, i just walked to the office areas looking at the fish they were cutting up and man they looked fresh. And that made me more sure of trying to make a deal with the old man.

I walked to a door that looks more important than the others, but before i could make it two Chinese men walked up and stood on my way and though i was tall and towering them they don't seem fazed which i laughed at, i like these kind of men, fearless.

"Who are you? What are your business here?" The one on the right asked with a Chinese accent, they really didn't know who I am so they asked carefully since i just walked in like i owned the place, and they didn't wanna offend me if i was someone of 'high status' in the gang life or whatnot.

"Me? Why I'm just here to talk business with Mr.Yang." I said like it nothing

"Boss isn't expecting anyone right now." The Chinese man on the left who is bald said.

"Hmm, did the old man forget about our meeting?" I asked loudly in a thinking pose

"Well i could just go, but if i were to tell the old man i was turned away he might get angry." I said trying to push my luck

"Tsk, stay here." The man on the right said walking to the office presumably to inform his boss, I looked at the bald man on my left.

"So do you carry a hatchet too?" I asked wondering if the whole gang carries one, he just stood there ignoring me with arms crossed and closed eyes since I don't seem to be dangerous to them.

"Let's go." The man came back after a while and we three walked to the office.
