Chapter 374 Overlord Meal
It may be that it is an important day to worship ancestors and sweep tombs at the turn of the Qingming Festival, and it is an important day to worship ancestors and sweep tombs, which has been passed down for nearly 2,000 years in later generations, and it is an important day to go back more than 600 years.
In some large families here, the family ancestral hall is magnificent, so the matter of worshipping ancestors takes more than a month to prepare, and it takes half a month at least. Moreover, the children within the five suits of the clan must come back in advance no matter where they are, even if there are big officials in the court, they must set an example and put filial piety first.
Therefore, Liu Gongzi suddenly stopped appearing in the past few days, which made them happy in the spring rain, and they also earnestly hoped that the ancestor worship of the Liu family would last longer, so that they could have a few more days of leisure. But Chunyu and they know that this can't solve the problem, and the root of it is that they don't understand why Liu Gongzi is here now. If you want to say it's for Yinqiao, but since he came here, he hasn't talked about the previous things.
Therefore, they want to find out the cause and solve the problem, but they have no way to start, so they can only continue to be puzzled.
The so-called "rain is heavy during the Qingming Festival, and pedestrians on the road want to break their souls". That's right, it started to rain lightly since yesterday, and then it gradually became heavier and heavier. But fortunately, the rain did not get heavier again, but remained like a thread of silk and disturbed one after another.
The business of the store has not become bad because of this Qingming rain. The business in this wharf is done, and the hard work of the people is still on the way, but they are afraid that things will be delayed due to the rain, so they also urge them to process, often come to work early and end late, and even the rest time of an hour in the middle has become half an hour.
Seeing that they were very hard, because it was easy to have a few days of normal business, there was no need to entertain the plague god Liu Gongzi, so Chunyu specially launched a daily special. That is to say, as long as each of these people enters the store and orders a meal, they can order a daily special, which is very cheap, only two pennies. It is very well received by people, so the store looks more lively these days.
It's like today is the third day of Qingming, and the last time they have a special dish in the store, so today's special dish is very good. Today's special dish is braised pork, so before noon, a large pot of braised pork was sold out, although it didn't make much money, but it didn't lose money.
It's just that when it comes to Shen Shizhong, there are only three or two customers left in the store, Yinqiao, Yunxiao and Sister-in-law Lu are busy in the back stove, Lu Qiang is a little bored watching the rain in front of the door, and Yunxi has been staring at the table sitting in the corner. Chunyu was sitting in front of the counter to settle accounts, but after a while, Yun Xi walked over, his face was a little bad.
"What's wrong?" Chunyu stopped the abacus he was dialing in his hand and asked Yun Xidao.
"Girl, there's a table over there, and it's a strange situation." Yun Xi said unhappily.
"What's strange about it, and it upsets you." Chunyu asked.
"There were only two of them, so they ordered a big table of dishes, two drawers of xiao long bao and steamed dumplings each, and a big bowl of shredded pork noodles per person, I didn't believe they could finish it." Yun Xi said to Chunyu, and by the way, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the two people for her.
"......" Chunyu also felt that they had ordered a lot after hearing this, so he looked in the direction that Yun Xi pointed, and sure enough, he saw that the table in the northeast corner was full of dishes, and it seemed that it was almost impossible for four people to eat.
Originally, Chunyu thought that those two people might be the kind of big people who consumed an amazing amount of food, but when he saw the two people sitting in the east and west, one was dressed in green brocade and the other was in blue brocade. But they all look very thin, and they can't eat so much no matter how they look. Looking at their clothes again, although they were wearing brocade clothes, their skin was yellow, as if they had suffered. And the food is extremely ungentlemanly, and the hair looks greasy, as if it hasn't been washed for a long time, and it doesn't look like a rich person.
Could it be that you want to eat overlord meals? Chunyu saw it on TV before in the later life, and those who want to eat the overlord meal are like this, order a table of good dishes, taste them at will, and it is very wasteful to have a lot of leftover food, and finally slip away under the pretext. Thinking of this, Chunyu was ready to say to Yun Xi and let her keep an eye on it to prevent the two of them from preparing to eat the overlord meal.
But before Chunyu could speak, he saw Yun Xi coming over and whispered to Chunyu: "Girl, you said they wouldn't deliberately want to eat for nothing and not give money, right?" ”
Chunyu thought it was funny when she heard it, this Nizi actually had such a wise foresight, so she didn't break her own idea of doing the same, but asked her, "Why do you think like this?" ”
"Girl, don't you often say that when you do anything or look at someone, you have to observe the details and not let go of any clues, and the details determine success or failure......" Yun Xi used all the words that Chunyu said in one breath, and then breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "According to my observation, they should not be rich people, but pretending to be rich people." ”
Chunyu listened, smiled and nodded, and listened to her continue.
Yun Xi saw that Chunyu agreed with what she said, so she happily continued to reason: "Although they are dressed luxuriously, their hair and hands are very dirty, and there is a faint unpleasant smell on their bodies. And they behaved very rudely, and when they first came to us, they had already been around for a long time before they chose a window seat. There was a large window there, and the windowsill was low on the floor. You can jump out of the window and escape at any time, so girl, you have to let Lu Qiang go over and stare at them to prevent them from running away after eating. ”
"No, it won't. Since they are here to eat the overlord meal, they must have thought of some way, and they are definitely not going to jump out of the window and escape. Although the ledge was low and easy to run out, but outside was the riverside, were they ready to jump into the river? Chunyu said with a smile. She guessed that the two of them should be thieves or something, stealing other people's dirty clothes and putting them on, but because of their actions and sloppy daily life, people were suspicious.
"Huh? Oh, no, it's true, there's a river behind the window, I forgot. Yun Xi said embarrassedly.
"I think they must be going to ......" Chunyu was about to tell Yun Xi her conjecture when she heard a slap on the table accompanied by the sound of plates colliding, followed by a sharp male voice.
"What's going on?" The blue-clothed man said, stood up, swept around, and saw that only three other customers in the store were looking at him, and then said in a satisfied sharp voice: "Why are you so dirty here, there are flies in the dishes." ”
As soon as he said this, Yun Xi was annoyed, and he was about to step forward, but he was stopped by the spring rain. She knew that this person must have used the old and scummy method of the later generations, either saying that there were flies and insects in the dishes, or that there was hair or something, so as to threaten to apologize and waive the order......
