Chapter 24: The Beggars
"Hey, hey, the chili peppers are red, the chili peppers are green......" The dirty face outside the window suddenly said, Li Bai looked at it, it turned out to be an unkempt old man, wearing tattered clothes, and his eyes were staring straight at the dishes on their table.
"Husband, look, I want food." A woman at the next table also looked over.
Seeing that the woman was a little frightened and disgusted, the man on the other side waved his hand at the old man and shouted, "Go! Don't get in the way here! Evil or not disgusting? I don't pick a place to ask for food. ”
Li Baigang wanted to persuade the old man to leave, but when he heard the man say this, he couldn't help but feel a little disgusted, even if the old man was really a flower child, he wouldn't scold him like this. Besides, he was lying in front of his window, a long way from the table.
"Boss! Someone cares and no one cares? Don't let people eat? The man saw that the old man was still looking outside, and called out to the counter.
"Hey, it's coming." A waiter whispered something to the back kitchen, and a flat-headed, slightly chubby man quickly ran out from behind, smiling with a smile on his face.
The man who was eating pointed to the old man outside the window and said, "You see this old man is standing in the way here, who can eat?" ”
"But he didn't come in, and we don't care about the people outside......" The boss was a little embarrassed.
"I said, how did you become a boss? Now the customer has made a request, affecting our meal, and you don't solve it? The man shouted as he threw his chopsticks.
The eyes of the people around the diners turned to the man and exchanged their heads and ears. The woman sitting at the opposite table looked to the side and said embarrassedly, "Don't forget it, I'm okay." ”
The man just wanted to show it in front of his girlfriend, but he didn't expect the boss to be so uncooperative, so he took the opportunity to have a seizure: "Can this matter be counted?" We've spent money, do you want to do it? ”
"Don't worry. I'll go out and talk about it, you two don't get angry. The boss glanced at the drooling old man outside the window, sighed and walked out.
Li Bai listened to the anger next to him, obviously he didn't hinder them, but he still had to find fault, and he just wanted to stand up and theorize. was held down by Lei Baoquan first, and the latter said: "Eat your meal, isn't the boss solving it, what do you want to add to the mess?" ”
"This man is so rampant." Li Bai glared at the man and said.
"What's that about you?" Lei Baoquan said, pushed the rice in front of Li Bai, and said, "Hurry up and eat, isn't there enough to do?" ”
Li Bai picked up the bowl stupidly, and when he turned his head, he saw that the boss had already walked to the window at this time, and he seemed to know this old man.
"I said uncle. Why are you here again? I've told you many times that we still have to do business here, aren't you here to influence us? Why don't you go somewhere else? The boss didn't seem to be able to bear to scold, and was still using a consultative tone, showing that he was not a ruthless person.
The old man stared intently at the plate of spicy chicken wings on Li Bai's table and said, "I want to eat this." ”
"Ouch, why can't you old man understand words? Let you go. Don't interfere with our business here, okay? I beg you, can't you? The boss was a little helpless at this time, and he was also very anxious.
"Hey. Why don't you go? Just as everyone was looking at the boss outside the window, they heard the voice of a woman next to him, and then turned his head to see that it was the man who was shouting just now, and he saw the situation outside the window at this time. I wanted to show my "manhood" in front of women, so I came to the door despite the woman's dissuasion.
"I said, old man, it's almost done, it's not endless? Let you go, hurry up. Don't wait for us to get a temper up for a while, so that you can remember it for a long time? The man shouted.
The old man squinted at the man, ignored him, and turned to the boss and begged, "I just want to eat this, give me some." ”
The boss is very helpless, he is not the kind of person who scolds and stretches out his hand to the old, young, sick and disabled, but he is also doing business, not charity! How can you give whatever you want?
"It's a lot of requirements to ask for a meal, I really haven't heard of asking for food and bringing some food, please pay tribute to some karma, I want to eat this and that, where can I ask for food?" The man laughed.
"Hey, you, it's almost done, it's not over yet." A voice came from behind the man, and the man turned his head to look at it in a daze.
Lei Baoquan and Jin Guo in the restaurant covered their faces in embarrassment, and Jin Bao'er didn't understand what the situation was, pointing at Li Bai who had just gone out in a daze.
"Do you say me?" The man sneered.
"As far as you call the happiest, do I say that others are worthy of you?" After Li Bai finished speaking, he walked towards the old man.
"Hey, I said you kid has a problem with his head? I said he locked you up......" Before the man finished speaking, Li Bai walked straight past him, ignoring him. The man stood awkwardly and looked at the woman in the room.
"Uncle, let's leave quickly after eating, people also have to do business." Li Bai handed the plate of chicken wings to the old man.
"You're ......," the boss was a little surprised.
Li Bai gestured to him and said, "Count me in, please pack another package and bring it back to this uncle, count me as a treat, okay?" ”
"Uh... Yes. The boss said yes and went back to the restaurant.
The old man looked at Li Bai, suddenly smiled, grabbed the chicken wings on the plate and ate them, and nodded incessantly, looking very satisfied.
The man standing behind the two saw this scene, his face was incredible, his hands were crossed on his hips, and his eyes were staring. But he didn't dare to rush up to find Li Bai's theory, because he had just noticed that they had come together with four people.
"I said you, if you want to do charity, find another place, what are you doing here to influence others?" The man shouted.
"Who does it affect? It affects you, right? Li Bai glanced at him and said coldly.
"You ......" The man looked at Lei Baoquan and Jin Guo in the window, they were all staring at him at the moment, the man coughed, and said, "I'm here to eat today, I don't care about you generally, you can only talk to the person who asks for food, right?" ”
Li Bai ignored him, and he might have had a big quarrel before, but seeing the old man eating with relish, Li Bai suddenly felt a sour feeling in his heart, and he lost the mood to quarrel.
Seeing that Li Bai was silent, the man looked at his girlfriend and looked a little proud, after all, he had won back a city in momentum. But the other party's silence also embarrassed himself for a while, standing there for a long time, the man didn't know what to say, the cold wind blew, he sniffed, and planned to go back to the house.
"You're a short-lived ghost, your mouth is too big, and you'll be stitched up when you die." The old man had almost finished eating, and suddenly said something to the man. (To be continued.) )
