Since he had come, Zhong Hou didn't think much about it, and opened the menu to see what was on it.

I don't know if I don't see it, I was startled when I saw it, and cold sweat broke out on my forehead unconsciously.

What did Zhong Hou find?

He noticed that every pasta dish on the menu had a price on the back of it...

It costs money to eat here...

Nonsense, where to eat does not cost money.

However, Zhong Hou only remembered at this time that since the first day he entered the Situ family as a handyman, he had never brought any money with him.

Except for the hilt of the broken sword, the necklace inlaid with white jade beads, the 'portable weapon' agricultural three-toothed nail rake, and the wine gourd, which never left his body, other things, including the "Long Fist", were kept in his room all the time.

In other words, he doesn't have half a dime on him at this time, do you want him to eat the overlord meal?

And Zhong Hou also thought of a very serious problem, in the ten days of the preliminary competition, everyone had to look for the target item outside, and unless the task had been completed, they were not allowed to return to Situ's house.

So what did he eat in those ten days?

However, the problem of this meal has not been solved, and the problem of the next meal does not need to be considered.

So, Zhong Hou put down the menu in his hand very embarrassed, and prepared to sneak out, so as not to be discovered by the store, and when the time came, he said that he wanted to eat the overlord meal, and the shame would be thrown to his grandmother's house.

But before he had taken a few steps, the enthusiastic guy came over and grabbed him, and said, "The guest officer must be in a hurry, don't worry, place an order right now." Did the guest officer fancy any kind of noodles, we have ramen noodles, knife-cut noodles, and bamboo pole noodles here. The soup base is a secret recipe made by our master chef, and it has been boiled since last night, and it is absolutely impossible to eat anywhere else. And our side dishes... ”

Zhong Hou interrupted the other party to continue the introduction, he was really shy. No matter how much the other party bragged about smallpox, he couldn't afford to eat a bowl of noodles here.

Let the other party continue, but it only adds a little sadness.

"Hmmm... This one... That one... I suddenly remembered that I was in a bit of a hurry at home, so I won't eat it today and come back next time. ”

This time, the guy couldn't pull it anymore, so he could only persuade: "Don't be in a hurry if there is something in the guest officer's house, it won't take much time to eat a bowl of noodles." ”

Seeing that Zhong Hou was unmoved, the guy said harder: "That's it, since the guest officer's family has an emergency, I instructed the kitchen to give priority to the guest officer's list, how about it... ”

How can it be?

Don't I want to eat it?

But I don't have the money to pay for it, what can I do...

Zhong Hou was very sad at this time...

"I think it's better to forget it... ”

When the guy saw that Zhong Hou was talking badly, he just refused to sit down and eat noodles, and his eyes began to show a look of anxiety.

Seeing this scene in Zhong Hou's eyes, although he was puzzled, he didn't think much about it.

Breaking the guy and holding his hand, he said a little apologetically: "I will definitely come next time... Next time by all means... Then he turned and strode away.

The noodle restaurant is not large, and this scene falls in the eyes of everyone.

At this time, a customer who had just finished settling the bill and was about to leave walked up to the guy, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a little empathy: "You don't have to work in vain, it's not that he doesn't want to eat, but he doesn't have enough money, so he left without seeing the price on the menu." The tone was full of memories, and it was clear that this scene had happened to him once upon a time.

The guy secretly said badly, after thousands of calculations, he didn't count that Zhong Hou actually had no money.

A pleading gaze turned to the shopkeeper, ready to let the shopkeeper be the master.

The shopkeeper's expression at this time seemed to be more anxious than that guy, and seeing that Zhong Hou was about to go away, he immediately shouted loudly: "Guest officer, go slowly." ”

Hearing this, Zhong Hou turned around curiously to see who was talking. When I found out that the person who spoke was the owner of this noodle restaurant, I was puzzled.

"I wonder what else is going on in the store?"

"You are the hundredth customer of our store today, and you can get a free order from our store. You can eat with confidence, we don't charge you a penny. ”

"And such a good thing?"

As the so-called bystander is clear, at this time it can be said that all the customers in the store can see that there is something greasy, but it is none of their business, no one said it.

However, Zhong Hou, the party, was already hungry, and the food in his head was food, even if he felt that something was wrong, he was automatically ignored.

Since there is a free lunch, Zhong Hou is not polite, he came to a vacant seat and sat down, picked up the menu and finally confirmed: "Really don't want money?"

"Really, you can order whatever you want, guest officer. ”

"In that case, let's have ten bowls of each of these three kinds of pasta. ”

"What!?ten bowls!?no... Thirty bowls... Can you finish eating?" exclaimed the man, thinking he had misheard.

"Your little bowl is not enough for me to eat in one bite, thirty bowls is barely enough. However, Zhong Hou immediately thought that this meal was a free lunch, and it seemed a bit too much to call so much, so he whispered embarrassedly: "Actually, one bowl is enough... ”

Although it was a little distressing to give away thirty bowls of pasta, the shopkeeper endured it at the thought that he would be rewarded with thirty gold for completing the matter. The cost of a bowl of noodles is negligible compared to such a generous reward.

So he instructed the man: "Thirty bowls are thirty bowls, hurry up and place an order for the guest officer." ”

"Yes. "Since the shopkeeper has agreed, he naturally has no objection as a buddy, and it is not his money that is lost anyway.

The other customers had no intention of continuing to watch the excitement, and they checked out and left after eating. No one stood up and asked for a waiver, and for a little money, no one could save face.

No one meddled in anything to remind Zhong Hou, including those contestants. Or maybe there were so many participants that they didn't recognize Zhong Houlai at all.

More and more people are checking out, but the shopkeeper has posted a notice outside the door at this time, saying that all the pasta has been sold out today. No new customers came in, and gradually, the noodle shop had fewer and fewer customers.

In the end, only Zhong Hou was left.

At first, Zhong Hou didn't notice anything at all, because he was burying his head in hardship. It wasn't until there were eighteen empty bowls in front of him and he was about to serve the nineteenth bowl that Zhong Hou realized that this noodle restaurant was a little abnormal.

Is it a black shop?

Shouldn't you see every customer leaving satisfied?

Besides, if it were to be black, it would not be black enough for him to be a penniless person.

With doubts, Zhong Hou sped up the speed of eating noodles and hurriedly finished eating and left.
