Xiao Tieshu and Xiao Tongshu can only taste Ye Xiaoxian's craft occasionally. Now they can finally open up to eat a full meal in the store. They can't help but wolf down.
Xun Wenda said, "look, I say the food in this restaurant is delicious? You're really at a loss for coming here at this time."
Another ah Dong also said, "the things here are really good, iron trees and copper trees. Today's meal is yours. Thank you."
Xiao Tieshu and Xiao Tieshu seldom go out, but last time they ate someone else's a Dong's, now they must pay back.
The prices of dishes here are clearly marked. There is a row of bamboo chips in front of the counter. The bamboo chips write how much each dish costs. They calculate in their hearts. This meal costs more than 500 Wen.
They also thought that Li Hongmei would not accept their money, so they could not only save the 500 Wen, but also repay ah Dong's favor.
At sunset, the iron tree and copper tree were almost dead. Everyone covered their stomachs and was ready to go out.
But then Li Hongmei came over: "brother and third brother, are you full? The meal is 530 Wen in total, and the change can be erased, even 500 Wen. Who is responsible for giving the money?"
When Li Hongmei finished, Xiao Tieshu and Xiao Tongshu looked at each other.
Xiao Tieshu said, "I'm the host this time. It should be mine."
The original intention is to tell Li Hongmei that since it is his, he doesn't have to charge.
But Li Hongmei said, "well, that's the big brother paying. Big brother, five hundred Wen, please pay."
Xun Wenda couldn't help reminding Li Hongmei: "shopkeeper, isn't he your husband's eldest brother? He's still pro. You have to collect money?"
Li Hongmei said with a smile, "it's hard to do business now. My brothers also have to settle accounts clearly, otherwise we will lose money. Besides, it's not a few Wen, it's a big five hundred Wen."
"They don't come here often. They're still here for the first time now. It's too unkind for you to charge money. Just think they came to your house for a meal. You're a sister-in-law and a sister-in-law. You're just frying a dish. You still charge money. It's hard to say?"
Li Hongmei trembled at the corners of her mouth and almost said that Xun Wenda could not do it, But she soon reacted: "if it's the new year's festival, it's OK to come home for dinner, but this restaurant welcomes guests and does business. You have to charge money as long as you sit in for dinner. If uncle and third uncle want to come to my house in the future, let's say in advance that if we are free, we will be well entertained."
Xiao Tieshu and Xiao Tongshu didn't bring enough money at all. They usually carry up to 20 Wen. Where did they get 500 Wen now?
Li Hongmei's words really made them feel ashamed and wanted to find a hole in the ground.
In order to save face, Xiao Tieshu had to discuss with Li Hongmei and said, "OK, we will give you the money, but I want to pay on credit. How about some days?"
"You can give as much as you have now. You won't have none at all?" Li Hongmei asked.
If they don't have any money, what will they eat? Didn't they think about giving money at the beginning?
Xiao Tongshu was so embarrassed that he had to say, "sister-in-law, you're pushing too hard. We didn't give you money. We all said to give it a few days later. The main reason is that we forgot to bring the money bag today and came back together. Can we give it to you?"
Li Hongmei said again, "OK, then you write an IOU. Big brother and third uncle, I say it's in front. It's OK to owe money, but our shop has rules. Anyone who has written an IOU in our shop should pay off the money for the last meal next time, and there's no chance to write an IOU in the future."
In fact, there is no such rule in the store. Li Hongmei made it up on purpose.
Xiao Tieshu and Xiao Tongshu can't wait to leave the restaurant when they see that Li Hongmei has finally let go. Now they don't want to stay here. After signing on the IOU, they can't wait to leave the restaurant.
Seeing these people gone, Li Hongmei hurriedly arranged ah Wu to clean up.
These people ordered a lot of dishes today, and there are still some left on the table. It seems that they have already eaten and won't come in the short term.
I don't know if I can pay back the five hundred dollars. If not, I can only admit it myself.
……
After Xiao Tieshu and others left, Xun Wenda pulled his big teeth and scolded: "Tieshu and Tongshu, it seems that you have a bad relationship with Erfang. You have to write an IOU and pay the original price for a meal. It's really not friendly for you. Bah!"
Xun Wenda spit out a piece of minced meat stuffed between his teeth.
Xiao Tieshu and Xiao Tongshu both have gloomy faces, not to mention how depressed they are.
Just now in the restaurant, Li Hongmei pressed so hard that they couldn't stand down and lost their face.
Ah Dong added fuel to the fire: "hum, didn't the second room have no men in the early years? It depends on you. Now they are separated. They are arrogant and so domineering. If they were put in my house, I would have beaten her."
Xiao Tieshu and Xiao Tongshu were even more angry. Xiao Tongshu said, "yes, before Baoshan came back, none of their two bedrooms could make money. The whole family depended on us. Now they can make some money. They opened a restaurant and even collected money when they went to eat there. I really can't swallow the way my second sister-in-law refused to recognize her."
Xiao Tieshu is so angry that he can't speak now. He feels that he used to raise a white eyed wolf.
Xun Wenda said again, "I don't think you need to be considerate. Didn't Xiao Baoshan let those factotresses take care of their restaurants? I think we'll make trouble behind our backs and let the factotresses leave their restaurants alone. It's better for them to make trouble every day."
……
After Xiao Tieshu and Xiao Tongshu returned to the village, except Xiao old man, Da Fang and San Fang were waiting for them to eat. Now it's late autumn, and the food is cold quickly. They have been hot twice.
But the two of them had already eaten, and they were not in the mood, so they let the family eat by themselves, while the two of them sat listlessly.
Seeing that they were unhappy, Wang Mudan asked, "what's the matter with you? Is something wrong with the Yamen?"
There are some big cases in the Yamen from time to time. If human life is involved and the criminal cannot be arrested, they will look depressed when they come back.
The county magistrate of Yamen is a grumpy man. If he can't solve the case, he takes it out on the soap service. Xiao Tieshu and Xiao Tongshu don't talk very well at ordinary times. They can't please the county magistrate. Those colleagues in Yamen are very bad. When they get into trouble, they put the two brothers forward and get them scolded the most.
Xiao Tongshu said, "it's not about the yamen, it's about the second room."
"Second room? Li Hongmei, what's the matter with them?" Asked Wang Mudan.
