Chapter 108: Big Things or Small Things
The business of the restaurant has not been bad from the opening to the present, and every day during the day, there are always guests who come to visit, and gradually, the disadvantages of the restaurant are gradually revealed.
There are not enough people, although the shopkeeper has been collecting people, but no one has come.
This leads to the fact that when the restaurant is full, the servants who are responsible for serving tea and pouring water are too busy.
As a member of the restaurant, out of kindness, Lu Liuer said to the shopkeeper: "I can help do some simple work, serving tea and pouring water, or delivering soup and food, I can help do some." β
The shopkeeper was very grateful, and not only agreed to let her help, but also promised to give her double wages.
This kind of treatment is the first in the restaurant, because Lu Liuer is the person brought by An Xiabai personally, no one has said anything, plus Lu Liuer is diligent in her work, and the people in the restaurant who were not used to her were gradually impressed by her personality charm.
On this day, Lu Liuer was free to help bring tea to the box on the second floor.
She didn't have time to take a closer look at the dishes ordered by the guests, and ordered her to deliver them to the box, and she would deliver them wherever she went, but what she never expected was that things were wrong here.
"It's not what I ordered." The guest said coldly, "What's going on in your restaurant, other restaurants deliver food and drinks twice as fast as yours, it's just that people are too busy to come, I didn't expect you to even be able to deliver the wrong meal, is it because we see our low status and are easy to bully, so we don't take the guests seriously?" β
The sharp accusation made Lu Liuer subconsciously take two steps back, and said with an embarrassed face: "I heard it wrong, I'll leave." β
She wanted to turn away, but the guest was willing to let her go, and seeing that she was handsome, she seemed to be a temperamental person, so he grabbed her by the sleeve and wouldn't let her go.
"If you don't make it clear to me, don't think about leaving."
Lu Liu'er frowned and said, "It's my mistake, if you want to scold me, I will admit it, but you have to let me send the food first, right?" β
Someone at the same table persuaded each other, saying that Lu Liuer looked young, and it must not have been a long time to come to the restaurant to help, and life was not easy in the world, so let the troublemaker be more tolerant.
As a result, his eyes widened, and he insisted that he was right: "It's her own business to send the wrong meal, is it wrong for me to ask her for an explanation, it is her responsibility, and it must not be easily forgiven." β
The implication is to embarrass Lu Liuer.
In desperation, Lu Liuer could only choose to notify the shopkeeper.
"In the face of this situation, you must be tough in the future, and you will see what I do later, remember to learn." The shopkeeper agreed with her very much, took her back to the box, and said respectfully, "I am the shopkeeper of the restaurant, and I heard that a little girl who accidentally did something wrong, so I came to apologize for her." β
The person who embarrassed Lu Liu'er didn't expect that the matter would alarm the shopkeeper, and he thought that the restaurant must have a calming attitude towards this kind of thing, but the result was beyond his expectations.
The shopkeeper asked him to apologize to Lu Liuer.
Of course, he refused: "It's my fault for delivering the wrong meal, why should I apologize to her." β
The shopkeeper said calmly: "I apologized to you just now because of the negligence of the restaurant chef, and the responsibility was not on Liu Er, and let you apologize because you despised her." β
The guest did have the heart to bully the little girl, but he really couldn't pull his face to apologize.
Just when the two sides were arguing, Lu Liuer took the shopkeeper's hand: "It's okay, the shopkeeper, you don't have to stand up for me." β
The shopkeeper frowned and said, "How can this be?" β
"It's all my fault for being too careless, so the meal was delivered wrong, don't continue to talk about it, I apologize."
As soon as the words fell, Lu Liuer bowed to the guests.
The guest knew that he was at fault, so he snorted coldly and didn't look away.
The matter came to an end, but the shopkeeper was still dissatisfied: "This kind of person should be taught a good lesson." β
Lu Liuer grabbed his sleeve and said with a shallow smile: "I know you are doing it for my good, but this kind of thing, an apology is over, it is really not worth being angry and coming out, otherwise it will be spread out, and the reputation of our restaurant itself will be ruined." β
Her excessive manipulation made the shopkeeper uneasy.
"I'm feeling a little unwell and want to go and rest for a while." Lu Liu'er tugged at the corners of her lips and sketched a smile.
In this case, the shopkeeper naturally had no reason to refuse, so he waved his hand and let her go to rest.
Lu Liuer thanked her very politely, and then walked quickly to the third floor, there is a place where the beauty pavilion and the restaurant are common, and that place is specially isolated by An Xiabai to let the guests enjoy the scenery from afar, and now it has become the best place for Lu Liuer to adjust his mood.
"I heard from the shopkeeper that you are here, so come up and have a look."
Lu Liu'er stood by the railing and looked into the distance for a short time, when she heard a voice from behind her, turned her head to look, and just saw Liu Fengfeng slowly walking towards her.
"You're here?" Lu Liu'er said in surprise.
Liu Fengfeng is a friend of Lu Li, and she saved him once before, so she recognizes his face.
"I didn't see you downstairs, but after asking the shopkeeper, I learned that you were here, so I came and have a look." Liu Fengfeng said a little cramped.
At first, he didn't dare to come, but after asking about the situation downstairs, although he was worried about Lu Liuer's mood, he didn't dare to take the initiative to take the first step.
After all, she is the one she can't ask for.
He dared to come up because of Zhang Xiaodong's stimulation.
"A dignified man, he doesn't even have the guts to comfort his sweetheart, you deserve it!" Zhang Xiaodong said deliberately.
As soon as Liu Fengfeng mentioned this, he couldn't help but blow up: "Who said I don't have the guts!" β
"If you have the guts, then you can go." Zhang Xiaodong saw that he was tricked, he smiled, and directly retreated in the direction of the stairs.
Liu Fengfeng was difficult to ride a tiger, so he could only bite the bullet and go to see Lu Liu'er.
The situation didn't seem to be as bad as he imagined, and he quietly glanced at Lu Liu'er.
The latter was looking at the bustling capital in the distance, with a melancholy face.
Liu Fengfeng looked anxious, and hurriedly proposed: "Miss Lu, it just so happens that both of us are in a bad mood, why don't I tell you a joke about the border pass to make you happy, although the border pass is a bitter cold place, there are also a lot of interesting things, you live in the capital, you shouldn't have heard of it." β
Lu Liu'er wanted to explain, but seeing his radiant appearance, she couldn't help but hook the corners of her lips: "Say it." β
At the same time, the hustle and bustle of the capital seemed to suddenly become gentle, like a willow moving in the wind on the river embankment, and Lu Liuer had a different feeling in her heart.
While they were laughing, Lu Li was worried about An Xiabai's body.
Since leaving the palace, after An Xiabai found out that the poison in the wine was harmful to the woman's body, Lu Li's worry about her body has become more and more serious, and it has even reached the point of rumors, every time he appears in front of him, An Xiabai feels like a person made of glass, the kind that will shatter if he touches it lightly.
She had just come back from the restaurant when she stepped into the door of the Lu family, and Lu Li, who came forward, insisted that her face was wrong.
An Xiabai felt funny, shook his head and said, "Husband, it's you who think too much, it's not that I'm not in good health." β
Lu Li insisted on his own opinion, insisted that An Xiabai was not feeling well, and directly picked up the person and sent him back to the room: "My face is so haggard, I don't believe it when I say that I am fine." β
"I'm reallyβ" She felt dizzy before she could speak, and subconsciously pressed her forehead.
When An Xiabai's slender willow eyebrows frowned slightly, Lu Li knew that something was wrong, he hugged An Xiabai and asked with a concerned face, "Is it uncomfortable?" β
"It seems that I was really said by my husband, and I am indeed a little dizzy." An Xiabai raised her face, smiled and blinked.
At such a critical juncture, she could still laugh, Lu Li almost didn't catch her breath, and said angrily and distressedly: "I said that you should not go to the restaurant, but you just don't listen, if you really tire your body, what will our family do in the future?" β
In the past, when Lu Li did not have an official position, An Xiabai could use the excuse of subsidizing the family, but now that Lu Li is a general, the monthly salary is enough for the family to eat and live, and the emperor's reward, no matter how extravagant it is, it is enough, but she is still so desperate, he wonders if she wants to do things behind her back and wants to find a way out for herself?
The previous idea was debunked, and An Xiabai showed an embarrassed expression: "Husband, what are you talking nonsense, I just went to the restaurant to see the situation, didn't I obediently listen to your words and come back early?" β
If it weren't for Lu Li's persuasion, she would really be able to stay in the restaurant for a whole day.
Just as the young couple were talking, the sound of a baby giggling suddenly came out of the door, it must have been Zhou's coming over with the twins, An Xia showed joy on her face, and urged Lu Li to bring the child over.
Lu Li really wanted to slap the child's white and tender buttocks twice, since he came to the capital, his position in An Xiabai's heart has plummeted, and now he can't even compare to the two.
"I've got a doctor over, and he'll be there soon." When Lu Li came back after he was busy, the two children were lying next to An Xiabai, and he wanted to sit on the edge of the bed, but unfortunately there was no place for him for a long time, so he could only frown and look at it sadly.
"What are you angry with the kids?" An Xiabai couldn't help but laugh.
Lu Li complained: "I'm just a little dissatisfied. β
He was about to express his feelings to An Xiabai at length, when trouble came to him.
"King Li, please come over." The next person respectfully reported the news.
Lu Li's brows furrowed, and he wanted to refuse directly, but he was held down by An Xiabai, saying that the invitation of King Li should not be refused.
Although she doesn't know much about the things in the court, but the noble status of King Li, coupled with his help to find the kindness of the Zhou family and Lu Liuer, for these two points, Lu Li should not refuse.
"But I'm going, what are you going to do?" Lu Li couldn't rest assured of her body, and when he thought of her sick appearance, he couldn't help but feel heartache.
"It's not a person made of glass, husband, you really don't have to worry so much, it's better to go with confidence." An Xiabai said as he pushed Lu Li, who came over, outside, "Isn't there still Aunt Zhou, do you think Aunt Zhou will not be as careful as you?" β
When Zhou heard An Xiabai mention himself, he echoed in a loud voice: "You go, I'll be in charge here." β
Lu Li was helpless, so he had to nod: "Then I'll go to the appointment, madam, when the doctor comes to treat you later, you must listen to his instructions and rest more!" β
