Chapter 99: Flood Waves
The inn where Ji Ling and Yang Yi live is called Haixing Inn, and the inn has a restaurant called Haixing Restaurant, which is recognized as the largest and highest grade restaurant in the entire Donghai City, and is a common place for dignitaries and nobles to gather in Donghai City.
Approaching the beginning of the Douluo Competition, the business of Haixing Restaurant is also booming, the hall on the first floor is often overcrowded, and the private rooms above the second floor are often occupied.
On the fifth floor of the restaurant, in an elegantly decorated private room, there are several young people, both men and women, who are wearing luxurious clothes and special silk made from seafood in the East China Sea, and white jade, which is worth a lot of money at a glance, drinking and drinking.
Bang bang bang!
There was a knock on the door, and a slightly obese middle-aged man wearing a golden robe with a red face walked in with a cyan plate.
The plate is filled with white, crystal-clear unknown meat, and the spirit on it is very valuable.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the white spirit angelfish that we just caught from the sea in Haixing Restaurant the day before yesterday, there are only two in the entire East China Sea, you have a good mouth today!"
The fat boss said with a smile, even though the young masters and young masters sitting in front of him were all young masters and ladies from the heads and faces of Donghai City, he was not stunned at all, and his face was filled with a look of self-satisfaction.
Although the identity of this group of young people is not simple, the backer of his Haixing Restaurant is also not simple.
For example, the young master in purple clothes and with a young and frivolous face in the banquet is his cousin behind him.
This young master named Hong Botao is rampant in Donghai City on weekdays, he is not afraid of heaven and earth, and he can cause trouble wherever he goes, but he can't be arrogant in Haixing Restaurant, for no other reason, just because the person standing behind this restaurant is his cousin, one of the most powerful people in Donghai City.
But even so, Hong Botao just didn't dare to make trouble in Haixing Restaurant, after all, his cousin's things were also indirectly considered his things, and he didn't have the habit of making himself uncomfortable.
For a person like Fat Boss who is good at meeting the camp, he doesn't have a good feeling, and naturally he doesn't have any respect, just a watchdog, and a few good words about him are just for the sake of his cousin's face.
However, at this moment, Hong Botao has changed his previous style of looking at people with his nostrils facing the sky, and he is very polite to the fat boss.
"Then thank you boss, today's expenses are all recorded in my Hong Botao account!"
When the fat boss heard this tone, he looked extremely bold, but in fact it was extremely weird.
This master, when he came here to eat before, he has always been arrogant to himself, and he keeps accounts, keeps an account of a fart, when did he not eat a table of dishes and then leave without saying a word, pat his butt?
After all, Hong Botao is the cousin of the one behind him, and eating a few overlord meals is not a big deal at all, even if he turns a blind eye, the one behind him will not care.
This little ancestor, even if he is arrogant and domineering on weekdays, he thinks it is normal, powerful, young and frivolous, there is nothing wrong with it, he sometimes does the same to those subordinates, after all, he has strength, how can he love it.
But what is not normal is that his sudden "sensible" performance made the fat boss a little frightened, and the first reaction in his heart was that something happened to the old man in the family?
If you think about it carefully, it's impossible, how could he not have received news of such a big thing?
Could it be that his big boss came forward to teach Hong Botao a lesson? Let him be polite to himself?
This is even more unlikely, it is more unreliable than the old man hanging.
The fat boss was in a trance, and he really couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in the Hongbo gourd.
In between everyone eating fish, Hong Botao suddenly called out to the fat boss and interrupted the fat boss's speculation.
"Boss, the business of the restaurant has been good these days, right?" Hong Botao looked at the fat boss with a smile.
The fat boss said in his heart: "Aren't you talking nonsense? Looking at the way it is full every day, can business be bad? But you, a person who only cares about eating, drinking and having fun all day long, actually cares about the business of the restaurant? ”
But muttering in my heart is one thing, and you have to be respectful on the surface.
"Young Master Hong, thanks to you, because of the Douluo Competition, the restaurant business is very good!"
The fat boss stopped in time, did not add oil and vinegar, flaunted his merits to other people who did not know the depths, and to do their business, they had to say less and do more, things were done by themselves, and their achievements were all the big boss's, which was the safest way to survive.
"Since business in the building is so hot, you must be very busy, right?" Hong Botao continued to ask.
"Nonsense, can you not be busy?" Boss Fei felt that Hong Botao had something to say, and quickly lifted his spirits in his heart.
This is nothing to do, either a traitor or a thief!
"It's okay, it's okay!" The fat boss nodded, and said perfunctorily with a smile.
"Speaking of which, this restaurant is also our own property."
Hong Botao stood up, walked to the fat boss's side, and put his hand on his shoulder.
The fat boss shook unconsciously, and the smile on his face became a little more fake.
"Since it's my own industry, my cousin has been busy participating in the Douluo Competition these days, and she has no time to take care of it, and I, as a younger brother, can't sit idly by! In this way, I decided, from tomorrow, I will come to the restaurant to help, you don't treat me as a young master, what kind of work, even if you let me do it, I will never say anything! ”
"Yo! Botao, you are very sensible, you know how to help your family! During the banquet, a girl raised her head and smiled.
Hong Botao was very proud: "That is, you think I'm like you, I don't learn every day, I don't know how to do it, I eat and wait for death!" I'm a man with ideals! ”
"Okay, you are a person with ideals, you continue to idealize! We don't learn and don't know how to eat, we wait for death! Come on, brother, this fish is so delicious, if you don't eat it, it will be gone, hurry up and move the chopsticks! ”
"Look at your virtue, isn't it just a fish? If you don't eat it, you can serve it again! ”
After Hong Botao finished fighting with a few friends, he looked at the fat boss again: "Boss, it's okay for me to come to help, after all, it's my own restaurant, I can help, but you can't treat your own people badly!"
As soon as Hong Botao's words came out, the fat boss suddenly felt relieved in his heart, he really thought that Hong Botao had changed his temper and wanted to come to help, and he would not be able to entangle this little ancestor at that time.
Now that I listen to the meaning of the words, it seems that I want to ask myself for money!
If you want money, you need money, anyway, the restaurant is your family's, and the money is transferred from one pocket to another, as long as it is not out of other moths.
"Young Master Hong has something to say, I can satisfy your satisfaction!"
"Hahahaha!"
Hong Botao slapped the fat boss on the shoulder a few times: "The boss is really a cheerful person, then I'll say it directly!"
Boss Fat nodded hurriedly: "You say it's okay!"
Hong Botao opened his mouth and said: "I'm helping in the restaurant, you give me some salary, I don't want much, just give me a few thousand white jade at a time!"
"Good, good...... What the? The fat boss was still nodding at first, and he let out a final exclamation.
"A few thousand white jade? What are you kidding, can he make so much money in a year in Haixing Restaurant? This Hong Botao is crazy about money! Even if the big boss comes, he won't agree to such an unreasonable request! ”
Boss Fat finally understood, what kind of medicine did Hong Botao sell in his heart, if he asked himself for silver coins and gold coins, he would give it himself, even if it was a few white jades, he could give them through gritted teeth, but these thousands of white jade, he has worked for the restaurant for so many years, and his net worth is only a few dozen white jade!
"Young Master Hong is kidding! You're asking for a thousand gold coins, no problem! ”
Hong Botao grabbed the fat boss's shoulder, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared: "Fat boss, you have bad ears!" I'm not talking about a thousand gold coins, but a thousand white jade, a thousand white jade! Did you hear me clearly? ”
Of course the fat boss heard it clearly, the first time he heard it clearly, but he could only pretend to hear it clearly! Who knew that as soon as this flood of waves was looking for trouble, it would be a shocking trouble.
If it was on weekdays, he could still report to the big boss and let the big boss come forward to solve this matter, but now that the big boss is concentrating on preparing for the Douluo Competition, he won't bother with him at all.
It's hard to do now, if he doesn't give Hong Botao money, Hong Botao will definitely not give up, if he does, then the big boss will definitely not let him go, this ......
Boss Fat really wanted to cry without tears, he knew that something like this would happen today, he might as well take sick leave to go home to recuperate!
"You're not going to be able to meet my little request, are you?"
Hong Botao increased the strength of his hands, and the fat boss's painful face changed.
"Hong Gongzi, let me tell you honestly, it's not that I don't give you money, but the money in the restaurant was taken away by the big boss the day before yesterday, saying that she wants to prepare for the Battle Luo Competition, and now the account of the restaurant is only a few thousand gold coins, if you want it, I will bring it all to you!"
"A few thousand gold coins, what about the people who ask for food!" Hong Botao rudely pushed away the fat boss.
The fat boss nodded and rubbed the cold sweat on his forehead nervously.
For this answer, you should give yourself full marks. Young Master Hong, I want to give you money very much, but the money was taken away by the big boss, it's useless for you to give it to me, you go and ask the big boss for it! Do you dare to ask for it?
It's useless for you to embarrass me as a part-time worker!
I don't have any money, what should you do if you scold me?
"I said boss, don't lie to me! You know my temper! ”
The fat boss hurriedly said: "How dare I lie to you!" Don't you know what kind of person I am? There is really no money in the restaurant's account! Oh, by the way, not only the restaurant, but even the money of the inn, the big boss has taken it, I really have no choice! ”
"Damn!" Hong Botao listened to the fat boss's words and smashed his fist on the wall, so frightened that the fat boss quickly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead again.
"This fish is delicious!"
"yes, yes! Isn't it just the sea fish of the Grandmaster Realm, the taste is good! ”
"That's right! Boss, is there any fish left? Give us one more one! ”
The fat boss heard the greetings of the other people at the table, and hurriedly gathered the waves farther away.
"Everyone, there are only two white spirit angelfish, one is for you, and the other is ordered by other guests!"
"What other guests have booked, is there any more important guest than us in this Donghai City? Cut out the nonsense, hurry up and give us another fish! ”
"This ......"
The fat boss is extremely helpless, not only is it difficult to deal with the waves, but these fox friends and dog friends are not fuel-efficient lamps.
Another white spirit angelfish has indeed been booked away, if it is really an ordinary person, the fat boss will also take the fish back, a big deal to apologize a few words for a no, but the two who booked the fish, generous, is a big customer, this kind of guest on weekdays, they Haixing Inn and Haixing Restaurant that are when the grandfather offered, the big boss said, who spends money and who cattle, such a person, can not be easily offended.
"What's this? If you don't give me money, forget it, my friend wants to eat a fish, and you still push back? Don't forget who you are! ”
Hong Botao couldn't get money, and his attitude towards the fat boss plummeted, and he became extremely indifferent.
The fat boss was helpless, this one spoke, and the big patron over there could only be offended.
There's no way, the money does have to be earned, but this little life has to be even more wanted, if Hong Botao is not angry and plots against himself, can the big boss still work hard with her cousin for this?
"Anyway, it's your own family's money that you're losing, what do you love!"
The fat boss thought through in his heart, and hurriedly nodded: "Since you want it, then I have to let that guest cut his love!" A few young ladies of the child, wait a minute! ”
The fat boss turned around to leave the private room, and Hong Botao suddenly said: "Wait!"
The fat on the fat boss's face trembled, and he said in his heart: "Little ancestor, what are you going to do?"
"If I'm not mistaken, the price of this white angelfish is not cheap! It seems to be a piece of white jade! When did such a generous character come to Donghai City, and all the fish in white jade were eaten? ”
"Look at what you said, isn't this the Douluo Competition about to start? There are a lot of outsiders who have come, think about it, which of the outsiders who can come here from thousands of miles away has no money? ”
"Yes!" Hong Botao nodded and continued to ask, "Who is the one who ordered the fish?"
"Oh, it's a man and a woman, both of them are the cultivation of a first-grade Qi Wuluo, it is estimated that Miss Gongzi from other states came here to participate in the Douluo Competition!"
Hong Botao frowned: "Just two people?"
Boss Fat hurriedly nodded: "It's true, it's just two people!" I said that people from other states are really bold now, with so much money on their bodies, they dare to come to Zhongzhou with only Qi Wuluo's cultivation, which is really commendable! ”
The fat boss seemed to sigh inadvertently, but in fact, bad water surged in his heart.
Hong Botao's eyes changed for a moment, and a plan came to mind in his heart.
"Then I'm going to serve you food!"
"Wait, no need! We don't eat that fish! ”
"What's the matter with you? Why don't you eat good fish? You can't be reluctant, right? It's just a fish, and you're too petty! ”
Hong Botao glanced at the person who spoke up, and said: "The price of a white spirit fairy fish is a white jade, if you pay for it, then go up!" I can't afford it anyway! ”
The man shut up instantly. Take a look at the latest chapter of "I'm Selling Hanging Claws in Another World" to read for free for the first time.
