Chapter 61: Not Present
"Let's find someone." Jin Guo said.
"Who are you looking for?" The woman asked.
"Who is this?" Li Bai pointed at the woman and asked.
The boss smiled and said, "Oh, this is my wife." ”
"Oh, hostess, that's right, we're looking for one of your waiters here, it's a woman." Li Bai said.
The proprietress seemed to be a little worried, but she still smiled reluctantly and said, "We have seven or eight waiters here, which one are you looking for?" ”
"We don't know her name either, but we'll recognize her when she comes." Lei Baoquan said deliberately.
The proprietress looked at the boss, nodded, and headed towards the back kitchen.
The boss still smiled and said to the three people, "Those three will sit first." ”
The four of them sat down, and the boss poured water on them and asked, "May I ask what happened to the people from your three police comrades who came to our store?" ”
"Of course there is, but we have to ask the person concerned." Jin Guo said.
The boss was stunned, nodded embarrassedly, and said, "Okay, the three of you wait a while, wait a minute, and the others should also arrive, and I have to go to the back to prepare the ingredients, so I won't accompany you first." ”
"Okay, you get busy first, leave us alone." Li Bai smiled and motioned to the boss.
The boss stood up and looked at them, then turned and went back.
"It's a good location, and the rent must be a lot." Li Bai looked out the window and said.
"Envy? Open one yourself. Lei Baoquan said.
Li Bai Yile leaned back in the chair and said with a smile: "Actually, I really want to open a small shop and live quietly, but that will be after I get old." ”
When Jin Guo heard this, he quickly grabbed Li Bai's arm and said, "Hey? That's right, open a shop with me and Bao'er, right? Boa has been talking about this a lot lately, and I think it's good. ”
"Don't take me with you. If the three of us open a store, we will open it on the first day, and we will have to close it on the second day. Li Bai shrugged and said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the store was pushed open. Walking into the two young women, he glanced at them, and then walked to the back kitchen, shouting as he went, "Boss, we are coming!" ”
"Is that them?" Lei Baoquan asked.
Li Bai shook his head: "No." ”
After that, three girls and a boy came one after another, and Li Bai said that none of them handed him water last night.
It wasn't until it was completely dark that the store was slowly filled.
"Do you remember?" Lei Baoquan asked.
"How can I not remember last night's events? I just didn't come. Li Bai said with certainty.
"It's not a problem that we've been sitting here and waiting for so long, and it's delaying people doing business," Jin Guo whispered to Lei Baoquan.
Lei Baoquan looked around. I saw a few waiters looking at me strangely, indeed, they didn't order food and didn't speak, and they were only suspected of occupying a seat when they sat here.
"Beauty?" Lei Baoquan beckoned to the nearest waiter.
"Hello sir, what do you need?" The waiter walked over and asked with a smile.
"Can you help me call your boss? I've got something to do with him. Lei Baoquan said.
The waiter was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Okay, sir, you wait a minute." Then he went into the back kitchen.
"That woman definitely didn't come last night! I can't be mistaken. Li Bai said again.
Soon. The three of them didn't wait for the boss to come, but they saw the boss lady coming over. asked: "I'm sorry, my husband is setting the dinner in the back, he really doesn't have time, you have something to do with him?" ”
"It's okay, it's okay to ask you, your waiters are here?" Lei Baoquan asked.
The proprietress turned her head to look at the people in the store. Answer: "Yes." ”
Lei Baoquan turned his head and glanced at Li Bai, who immediately answered: "When I came yesterday, a waiter who brought me water was not here." ”
The boss smiled and said, "I don't know which one you're talking about, but all the people in our store have arrived." ”
Looking at the affirmative expression of the proprietress . The three of them couldn't refute it, after all, they didn't have any definite evidence to prove that what she said was false. However, Lei Baoquan thought about it, rolled his eyes, then stood up and said, "Okay, maybe we made a mistake, I'm sorry to bother you for so long." As he spoke, he called Li Bai and Jin Guo to prepare to leave.
As soon as the proprietress saw that the three of them were leaving, she immediately followed them enthusiastically and sent them to the door until she was sure that the three of them were far away before returning to the store.
"Uncle Lei, just left? Do you believe her? Li Bai asked.
Lei Baoquan took out a cigarette, lit it and took a puff and said, "Of course not, but if you keep asking like this, she won't say it." ”
"That" The two of them looked at Lei Baoquan.
Lei Baoquan smoked a cigarette while looking at the situation in the store, as if he had already had an idea in his heart, and he was not in a hurry. After the cigarette was finished, Lei Baoquan saw that the proprietress of the store went to the back kitchen with her things, so he said to Li Bai and Jin Guo: "That proprietress is now in the back, Xiaobai, you go and ask the waiter in the store to see if there is anyone who didn't come today." ”
"Okay." Li Bai nodded, turned around and was just about to leave, after thinking for a while, he felt that something was wrong, and turned around and asked, "Why am I going?" ”
"No why, exercise you." Lei Baoquan beckoned him to go.
Li Bai pursed his lips and trotted into the store again. As soon as he entered the door, the cashier at the cash register at the door saw him and asked strangely, "Did you leave something behind?" ”
"Oh yes, my friend's lighter is here, I'll look for it." Li Bai said in obedience.
The cashier nodded, not paying attention. Li Bai coughed, then leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Beauty, let me ask you something." ”
"You say."
"How many waiters do you have?" Li Bai asked.
The cashier was stunned for a moment, not knowing why he asked this, but since the customer asked, it was polite to answer it.
"Plus I have eight, six women and two men." The cashier replied.
"Oh." Li Bai said yes while looking back and counting the waiters who were busy, and turned around and said suspiciously: "Why does it seem that there is one less?" ”
When the cashier heard this, he obviously didn't pay attention just now, so he also looked into the store, and then said, "Oh, there is one that doesn't seem to have come, I don't know if it's a leave of absence or what." ”
"Is there really one who didn't come?" When Li Bai heard this, he laughed, his judgment was completely correct!
"yes," the cashier wondered why the man was so happy to hear that a waiter hadn't come.
"And what's this man's name? Do you know where home is? Li Bai asked again.
"Huh? Excuse me, but is there any reason for this? When the cashier heard this, he was a little overwhelmed, so he asked his colleagues, what did this person do? (To be continued.) )
