Chapter 133: The Man on the Road
But how can I be so timid in normal times? It's probably a contingency mechanism at work.
The next day, Wang Tonghe and I told my cousin Zhang Yunan about it. When my cousin heard about it, he counted the things and said that he had lost a hundred eggs, which in turn blamed the two of us.
Since then, my cousin's image in my mind has plummeted. I mean, he didn't ask me about the safety of Wang Tonghe, nor did he ask if the thief was bad for us, but about his hundred eggs. Is it the people who are important or the 100 eggs that are important?
This makes me doubt his character. Later I thought that if my cousin really lost a hundred eggs, then that thief was too bold and cunning. He was able to steal the hundred eggs under my scare, and he was very skillful.
He probably thought I didn't dare to do anything to him. Under the circumstances, I didn't dare to do anything to others. Do I really dare to poke people with the tip of a gun? If I do, I will have to see a doctor.
With my cousin's character, maybe I'll be asked to pay for my own medical expenses. That's a cunning thief.
People who have worked in Chenghai know that most of the factories in Chenghai don't care about eating, so the business of the restaurant is naturally very good. However, not everyone can open a restaurant if they want to. If you don't have a backer, you don't have the strength, and if you don't get it right, you're in danger of being smashed. There is really one person who dares to wade into this troubled water, and he is Xu Bow.
That Xu bow and Wang Tonghe are a villager. Once he came to the Henan Hotel to play, and saw that the business in Henan was very good, so he told my cousin that he also wanted to open a restaurant and learn from my cousin's experience.
He said he had two younger sisters working here for two years and that funding was not a problem. Henan was quite cheerful on this article, and told him some experience at that time. So, he went to a place and opened a restaurant.
Unexpectedly, only half a month later, he came to the Henan Hotel again to cry and complain that his hotel was smashed. The reason is that there are a few people in the Tao who want to eat white food from him, but he is unwilling and quarrels with others. Those guys picked up and smashed his hotel at that time.
Later, when I inquired, the people who smashed his restaurant were all from a nearby village in the same township.
As soon as Yu Nan heard about this, he said to him: "The people on the X road are also temperamental people, and they speak and do things according to their mood. He didn't have any money at the time, and if you insist on asking for it, it will definitely hurt his face. It's better to delay it first, and when he has money in hand and is in a good mood, you can open your mouth again, understand it with reason, and move it with affection, wouldn't things be much more difficult to do?"
"It's a pity I don't understand this. Xu bowed and said with remorse. And my cousin Zhang Yunan can be called an "expert" in dealing with this kind of thing.
Whenever he saw people "outside" coming to the restaurant to eat, he didn't mention the money at all. The more he didn't mention it, the more embarrassed people felt. If you have money to give money, if you don't have money, you will explain it in words and let Henan keep accounts.
After keeping accounts for a while, when he saw that they looked like they had money in their hands, Yu Nan would carefully say to the person who seemed to be the "boss" among them: "Brother, how are you doing during this time? If you have enough money, you will give some money, and the hotel is also a small business.
Can't stand the toss. When he said this, if someone happened to have money that day, he would settle it for him. Even so, there are also people with thick faces who don't give money after eating. When encountering this kind of thing, Henan also stared dryly, and had no choice but to scold his mother behind his back.
Once, a person called "Lao San", who used to be familiar with southern Henan, came to the restaurant for dinner. Originally, people were going to give money to Henan after eating, but he laughed at people and said: "The third brother has been out for so long, and he hasn't brought a girlfriend for the younger brother to meet?"
When the "third brother" heard this, he only smiled, and calmly returned to Feng Yunan: "Doesn't my brother just want to meet your sister-in-law? Okay, I'll bring it to you in a few days." After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left, and he didn't even settle the account.
After the man left, Wang Tonghe said to Henan: "People were supposed to settle the bill for you after eating, but they were ridiculed by you. It's good for you, if you don't get money this time, maybe you will have to take care of the food next time you bring a girlfriend. ”
Sure enough, a few days later, the "third child" came with a beautiful girl and a group of fox friends and dogs. After they found a table and sat down, they didn't mention the last meal, but just ordered.
People didn't say they wouldn't give money, we had to fry the food when we ordered it, and we had to fry it after we finished frying.
The third child ordered a large table, about a dozen dishes, and then staggered with the few people who brought him. During the banquet, he also invited Yu Nan to the table, and asked his girlfriend to toast him, and also introduced them to each other.
After an hour or two, they had eaten and drunk enough, and without mentioning the bill, they slapped their butts and walked away.
As soon as the third child left, Yu Nan couldn't help but scold: "Damn, I only know that I am awesome in front of Lao Tzu, that time on Donghu Avenue, why didn't the fourth child beat you to death?"
He said: "The third and fourth (the third and fourth here are nicknames given to them by the Jianghu people, they are neither brothers nor righteous brothers, just a title) I don't know when they got married.
Once, the two met on a road on Donghu Avenue. As the saying goes, when enemies see each other, they are very red. Before they could say a word, the two of them started to move. Because the fourth child had learned martial arts, after a few rounds, the third child was beaten to the ground and begged for mercy. ”
"Then are you familiar with the fourth child?" asked Yu Nan. "So-so. "So, who is the fourth in the legend? Wang Tonghe and I want to see the dignity more!
Finally one day, a dignified man wearing a dark red shirt and blue jeans came to the Henan Hotel. Henan whispered to me and Wang Tonghe: "This is the fourth child." The man exchanged a few words with Henan and sat down.
In fact, from the outside, the fourth child does not look like a person on the road at all. He always has a smiling face and speaks politely. As soon as I saw him like this, Wang Tonghe and I were very disapproving. My cousin obviously saw what we were thinking, so he said, "Don't look at him smiling when he speaks, the more this kind of person is, the more difficult it is to deal with." It's called 'Laughing with a knife'. ”
It doesn't matter if you hide a knife in your smile, or if you hide a smile in your knife, you don't do anything about me. The point is, let's not mess with them. The old man ordered a few dishes, drank some wine, paid the bill, and left.
After working in a restaurant for a long time, I have come to a rule: the more petty gangsters are, the more they like to bully people and eat white food. And the gangsters were generous. , at least on the surface, never bullying others.
No, a worker named "Fatty" was bullied by a few thugs.
I remember that as soon as breakfast was sold that day, four people came to the restaurant, and at first glance, I knew that they were "outside" people. They ordered food and sat there drinking.
After a while, a burly man came to the hotel. He is a frequent visitor to the Henan Hotel, although he is not too fat, but people call him fat.
The fat man had a holiday in the factory today, and he just wanted to come to the hotel to sit, and there was nothing to do. He had only been sitting for a while when he suddenly remembered something and asked my cousin if he had a bicycle. Lend him a ride if you have one.
"Nope. My cousin said. The fat man was in trouble when he suddenly saw a brand new bicycle outside the hotel. So, he turned to us and asked, "Whose bike does it belong to?"
When one of the drinkers asked, one of them replied, "It's mine." "Let me ride?" "Okay." What's the big deal about a bike, just ride it if you want. ”
The person who spoke just now said politely. When the fat man heard this, he not only rejoiced in his heart, but hurriedly asked the man for the key, and then ran away in a puff of smoke.
When he returned, he put the bicycle back in its place, returned the medicine spoon to the man, said "thank you", and sat down next to me and Wang Tonghe.
At this moment, one of the four people stood up, walked out of the door, stopped in front of himself, and went to the toilet in the barber shop in southern Henan. When the man returned from the toilet and sat back in his seat, one of them stood up again, and instead of going to the toilet, he came to the bicycle.
