Chapter 11: Rats, Help!
While talking, the bosses of several other stores also saw Lin Yi enter the yellow stewed chicken shop, and they all came over, and they all chattered about the laughter, but they were all gloating about the news of the accident in the food street, and they were glad that the business in each store was getting better again, and they all ignored Lin Yi's existence intentionally or unintentionally.
"Everyone, why do you think something happened over there in the food court?" Lin Yi suddenly interjected.
Several people were stunned for a moment, and they all looked at Lin Yi, wondering if it was Lin Yi's ghost?
"This is because everyone worships the ancestor and the ancestor blesses him, so there is something wrong with the food street, and we all have some guests here. Lin Yi said again.
"Heh!" Cui Yuchao sneered and said, "It's the same as the truth! Tell you, don't expect to be able to blind us with that little trick of yours! Yesterday afternoon, we all said that no one worshiped your broken portrait today, why is business better than yesterday?"
"That is, are you really superstitious when we are all superstitious?" Wang Chunjie shouted.
That's a face-ripped face!
Lin Yi snorted coldly, turned his head to look at the other bosses, and said, "Are you sure that you haven't paid any respects to the ancestor master?" Okay, I'll leave it here, the believer will send the two thousand yuan that he said to my store, if you don't believe it, return the ancestor statue to me, otherwise we'll see you tomorrow at noon!"
After Lin Yi finished speaking, he didn't wait for Cui Yuchao and Wang Chunjie to continue to taunt, turned around and returned to his shop.
"Brother Yi, how is it?" Zhang Xiaohai greeted him and asked, "Did they give money?"
"We'll find out later. Lin Yi said.
Then wait, but after waiting for an afternoon, no one came to send the money, but when the owner of the wonton shop and the other two shops returned the statue of the ancestor, and waited until the end of the evening and was about to close, Sister Song of the casserole noodles shrank back.
"Sister Song, hasn't closed the door yet?" Lin Yi greeted and said.
"Ah, no, no......," Sister Song said, "Just about to close, two more guests came, and it was delayed for a while......"
"Hehe, business is good. Lin Yi smiled.
"Well, it's all there, it's all blessed by Master Zu...... "Sister Song said, "Xiaolin, tell me the truth, is it true that our business has become better, is it indeed blessed by Master Zu?"
"You shouldn't ask me that, you should have the answer in your own heart. Lin Yi said.
"I also think it's the blessing of the ancestors, but Lao Cui and the others all said that they didn't worship the ancestors today, and the business is better...... Sister Song said.
"Then did you bow down?" Lin Yi asked.
Sister Song nodded and said, "I bowed in the morning, thinking that whether it is true or not, it can be regarded as asking for comfort......
"Well, Sister Song, let's put it this way," Lin Yi said, "I'm young, and I don't have as many twists and turns in my belly as Cui Yuchao, and I can't afford to be cheeky and reckless, so I have something to say, I suspect that several of them are actually still visiting Master Zu today, otherwise business would not be so good." If you don't believe me, just look back tomorrow. Well, the Chaos Pavilion and the other two at the east end of the street have sent me the portraits, and their business will definitely plummet tomorrow. The yellow stewed chicken and ramen restaurant didn't pay back the money, and the second didn't pay the portrait, this kind of people with impure intentions, Master Zu will definitely not let them go, as for the specific situation, I don't know what will happen......"
"So, what about me?" Sister Song said in a panic, "Xiaolin, I actually believe you, but I really don't have that much money." My family is actually similar to you, they have just taken over this store and the business is not good for two months, and during this time, they lose money every day, and the money for buying vegetables is borrowed......"
"Sister Song, you don't have to tell me these words, in fact, to put it bluntly, you still don't believe it, and you want to see the situation again. Lin Yi smiled and said, "Okay, for the sake of you running over at night to say good things, I'll give you another day, and you decide what to do tomorrow afternoon." ”
"Okay, okay, thank you, Xiao Lin......" Sister Song said busily.
"Okay, don't thank you, I have to close the door and go home to rest, I'm tired every day......" Lin Yi sent the guest directly.
Sister Song watched Lin Yi lock the door of the store and ride the electric car away, but she was overjoyed by her wise decision. Those men are all stupid, Cui Yuchao and Wang Chunjie simply ignored Lin Yi, didn't give money and didn't pay back the portrait, they just confronted him, and he didn't have a problem with everyone. The other three decided that the business of this street was going to improve because of the food street, but it had nothing to do with what the ancestor was, fortunately, they still had a little conscience, or they didn't have the courage to fight with people, so they all ran to return the portraits. Pity them where they are smart, just say a few soft words, and then see what happens tomorrow?
As a woman, it's not a shame to show a little weakness and say a good word, not to mention that as a woman, it's actually easier to believe in strange things.
At noon the next day, Sister Song deliberately stared at the situation of several restaurants, first of all, of course, Lin Yi's store was the first to start serving customers, and before twelve o'clock, there were already people queuing at the door of the store.
Then her store was quickly full, and Sister Song, who was in charge of the cashier, had to run to the door of the store to investigate, and immediately rejoiced in her decision yesterday - the chaos store next to it, and the other two restaurants that returned the statue of the ancestor, there were not many customers in the store at this time, and it seemed that she had suddenly returned to the state of being full of birds two days ago.
"Big sister, your business has no impact?"
As soon as the owner of the wonton shop, who was looking at the door, saw Sister Song, he ran over without saying a word and asked.
"Well, it's okay......" Sister Song said.
"Hey, it's still evil...... the wonton shop owner scratched his head and said, "Your ancestor statue hasn't been returned to him?"
"Judging from the situation in the past two days, it is really the blessing of the ancestors. Sister Song said.
"Tsk, I knew I wouldn't have returned the portrait!" said the owner ......of the wonton shop, "Look at those two, they are also full of people at this time!
Before the owner of the wonton shop could finish his words, he suddenly heard a scream, and saw a lot of customers rushing out of the ramen restaurant, especially some girls, who were screaming and stamping their feet, and shouting: "Mouse, ah, there are rats......
Behind everyone, there were more than a dozen small gray-haired mice out of the store, all of them were not in a hurry or panic, and they were not frightened by "crossing the street" at all, and even stood up and "squeaked" a few times after walking two steps, which scared the female customers far away to the other side of the street. However, two male customers were bold enough to show that they ran over and stomped on their feet, trying to crush the body of the mouse with the soles of their shoes, but the mouse immediately became nimble again, and dodged the attack with a shake of his body, and slipped against the wall and went straight to the sewer manhole cover on the side of the road.
Sister Song and the owner of the wonton shop were dumbfounded, it was not uncommon for there to be rats in the restaurant, but the rats all acted at night, where had they ever seen people running in broad daylight? There were more than a dozen collective actions?
In any case, this is a complete destruction of this restaurant, and who will dare to eat in such a restaurant in the future? Who knows how many rats they have eaten have already tasted in advance?
Sister Song and the owner of the wonton shop looked at each other, and faintly felt that this matter seemed to be related to the problem of the portrait of the patriarch......
