Chapter 116: Innocent and Honest People
Zheng Yiwei, the owner of the old local music restaurant, stood at the counter and wiped the counterfeit foreign wine in the wine cabinet, whistling happily, and from time to time gave instructions to the waiter to decorate the hall:
"Xiao Liu, that flower basket is a little inward, let the aisle out a little more, yes, yes, very good, that's all!"
"Xiaoli, the music stand on the piano is too far to the side, and it doesn't look professional at all. Move a little further into the middle!"
"Zhang Meng, you don't seem to have wiped the dust off the guitar, right?
"Wang Xiaoxiao, are those bottles of cocktails crooked?
Zheng Yiwei's criticism of the waiter was not harsh, and even sounded a bit like a compliment.
It's not that Zheng Yiwei doesn't want to be harsh, it's just that he is in a happy mood now, and he really can't be harsh.
Since the road on the east side of Modern Street was opened in early February, students from several colleges and universities in the east, such as Tianzhong University of Science and Technology, Tianyang College of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Tianyang Normal College, no longer have to make a detour of several kilometers to Modern Street, and the business of the old local music restaurant has gradually become popular.
Especially after the students return to school after the winter vacation, the old local music restaurant is the best destination for those college students who pursue petty bourgeoisie to eat at night, even when the business is at its worst, the music restaurant can give Zheng Yiwei more than 5,000 cash flow in one night, and the highest cash flow even exceeded 18,000, which makes Zheng Yiwei's mood really unpleasant!
Seeing that the time had reached 5:40, Zheng Yiwei tapped his fingers on the computer, and Liu Mingxiang's slightly drunk voice with a hint of sugar flowed out from the AD-C42T high-quality high-fidelity ceiling-mounted two-way speaker hidden in the ceiling of the restaurant:
"For you, I used half a year's savings to travel across the ocean to see you.
"For this reunion, I even practiced my breathing when we met......
The atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly became gentle and charming.
In fact, according to Zheng Yiwei's taste, he likes to listen to songs like "The big river flows eastward, and the stars in the sky participate in the Beidou". But there is no way, the current college students all like Liu Mingxiang's tune, and Zheng Yiwei's main customer flow is these college students, so he has to play the song according to God's taste.
After the song "Across the Sea to See You" was played, Xiaoli and Zhang Meng had already changed into kawaii's black and white maid outfits and stood at the door of the restaurant to greet the guests.
"Hello and welcome to Old Place Music Restaurant!"
Listening to the sound of Xiaoli and Zhang Meng welcoming the guests at the door, Zheng Yiwei couldn't help but be even happier in his heart.
Haha, the business of the music restaurant is really getting better and better, and it hasn't even reached 5:50 before the first wave of customers has already come up. While thinking, Zheng Yiwei looked up at the door, guessing which school students would arrive at the music restaurant so early.
But under this look, Zheng Yiwei was stunned for a moment, because he saw more than 20 bald men with shirtless and tattoos rushing in.
What's going on? When did the big brother in society also like the tune of a music restaurant?
Thinking in his heart, Zheng Yiwei didn't dare to slack off in his movements, grabbed two boxes of soft China from the drawer and hurried to greet him, "Boss, how many may I ask?" As he spoke, he diligently smoked one by one.
"You don't have long eyes, how many of us, can't you count them yourself?" The bald man led by Zheng Yiwei pushed away the cigarette that Zheng Yiwei handed him to him, with an impatient expression.
"Yes, yes, it's my fault! Boss, please forgive me!" Zheng Yiwei nodded and said kind words, "Boss, there are more than 20 of you, and the box of the small shop is at most ten people, I'm afraid I won't be able to entertain all the bosses!"
"You don't have to worry about this, we don't have to sit on a table!" said the bald man at the head.
Zheng Yiwei said in his heart that even if you don't sit on a platform, I can't entertain you! With the image of your bare-chested big brother in society, don't you scare away the college students who come from behind?
Just thinking about it, I saw that more than 20 strong men had dispersed on their own, and one person chose a dining table to sit on. A few others directly pushed open the box and sat in, and in an instant, the eighteen dining tables and three small, two large and five private rooms in the restaurant were all occupied.
"Boss, boss, boss," Zheng Yiwei said anxiously: "You guys are like this, how can I do business?"
"Why can't you do business?" The strong man at the head sat down on the nearest dining table, looked down at the menu on the dining table, reached out and ordered it, and said, "Boss, bring me a bowl of cucumber and lo mein!"
"Hey, boss, bring us a bowl of cucumber and lo mein!" the other twenty or so strong men also shouted.
Zheng Yiwei finally woke up at this time, and dared to love that these people in front of him were coming to trouble him!
"Boss, I really don't remember when the shop offended you, but since you came to the door, boss, it must be mine. While speaking, Zheng Yiwei took out a thousand yuan from his wallet and put it in front of the strong man led by him, "Take this tea fee, boss, let the brothers have a cup of tea and dissipate the anger, okay?"
"What are you doing here? Are you treating us as hooligans or as underworld?" The strong man at the head smiled coldly, "Let me tell you, we are all innocent and serious people, I heard that the cucumbers in your store are delicious, and we came here to admire it! You don't waste time here, hurry up and let the kitchen order us cucumbers to make lo mein!"
"It's my fault, it's my fault!" Zheng Yiwei endured his distress, took out two thousand yuan bills from his wallet, and put them on the table, "Boss, it's okay now, right?"
"Hey, I said you don't understand people?" The leader of the strong man was furious and slapped the table hard, "I already told you, we came here today just to eat noodles, what are you doing with this set of turtle grandsons? What the hell do I look like the underworld?"
At this time, several waves of students had already walked into the store from the outside, but when they looked around, they found that there was a bare-chested man sitting in front of each dining table, and they were all so frightened that their faces turned pale and turned their heads and ran out.
Zheng Yiwei was about to cry, a bowl of cucumber for lo mein costs eight yuan, more than 20 bowls of lo mein, and more than 200 yuan for death. And he is open for business all night, so he has to have a cash flow of 10,000 yuan.
The key is that this is still a trivial matter, I'm afraid that the students will see this scene and feel that it is not safe to eat in his music restaurant, and they will not come to his store to eat in the future, then he will lose a lot!
It seems that this thing can't be good today!
Thinking of this, Zheng Yiwei explained to the back kitchen: "Immediately give the bosses cucumbers and make lo mein!"
Then he slipped to the back kitchen, took out his mobile phone and dialed the phone of Zhang Erdan, the most famous social brother in Modern Street, "Second Master, where are you?
"Ah? There are still people who dare to come to my Zhang Erdan's territory to make trouble?" Zhang Erdan was angry when he heard it, "What is the other party's origin, do you know what?"
"Second master, I don't know! Anyway, there are twenty-six or seven Hulala, and one person occupies a table for me, and only orders a bowl of lo mein. A lot of my students came in, and they were scared away!" Zheng Yiwei said with a sad face, but he didn't dare to mention the things that the other party didn't want.
"Hmph, twenty-six or seven people, it's a big deal!" Zhang Erdan sneered, "Lao Zheng, don't panic, just wait in the store, I'll bring someone over immediately!"
"Thank you, second master, thank you, second master!" Zheng Yiwei said continuously.
He has to pay homage to Zhang Erdan for 5,000 yuan every month, just to spend money to buy peace. Although I usually feel distressed when I pay Zhang Erdan, it seems that this money is definitely cost-effective. At least Zhang Erdan heard about the situation in his store, and without the slightest prevarication, he immediately brought his brother over.
Although the more than 20 strong men outside looked quite scary, after all, this piece of Modern Street was Zhang Erdan's territory, and the so-called strong dragon did not suppress the ground snake. No matter how fierce outsiders are, they want to compete with Zhang Erdan on Zhang Erdan's territory, isn't that unpleasant?
While the waiter was serving lo noodles outside, Zheng Yiwei slipped out and waited for Zhang Erdan at the entrance of Modern Street. For him, the sooner Zhang Erdan came over to deal with things, the less impact it would have on his store. If Zhang Erdan waited until eight o'clock or nine o'clock to come over, even if he could drive those rabbit grandchildren away, it was estimated that the business of his music restaurant would not be able to slow down in a month or two!
Just when Zheng Yiwei was restless, a blue bus came at a gallop and stopped at the entrance of Modern Street. Then I saw a young man in his early thirties with a grim face jump out of the car, and then fifty or sixty people rushed out of the car.
"Second master, second master, you're here!" Zheng Yiwei hurriedly greeted him and shouted excitedly.
"Lao Zheng, what about the turtle suns, haven't they left yet?" asked Zhang Erdan.
"I didn't leave, I was clubbing in my store. The waiter sent me a message telling me that they ordered lo mein without touching a single chopstick!"
"Hehe," Zhang Erdan twisted his neck and said with a cruel smile: "Lao Zheng, lead the way ahead." I want to see where these blindless cow ghosts and snake gods come from!"
With Zhang Erdan's support, Zheng Yiwei's courage suddenly grew, and he led the way in front of him, taking Zhang Erdan and the fifty or sixty people behind him, and walked towards the music restaurant.
As soon as he entered the store, Zheng Yiwei pointed to the strong man sitting at the back door, and said to Zhang Erdan: "Second master, he is the leader!"
"Really?" Zhang Erdan waved his hand forward, and immediately five or six of his subordinates rushed over, murderously surrounding the strong man, and then Zhang Erdan walked over unhurriedly, and shouted: "Where did you come from, the turtle grandson, ran to your second master's territory to pretend to be a big head of garlic? Turn your dog's face and show it to the second master!"
"Hehe!" The strong man stood up in a hurry, turned around calmly, smiled coldly at Zhang Erdan, and said sarcastically: "Zhang Erdan, I haven't seen you for a few days, you are not very majestic!"
Zhang Erdan saw the face of this strong man clearly, and couldn't help but tremble, his legs were weak, and he knelt on the ground on the spot with a poof, "Crazy brother, I'm sorry, you spare me, I didn't know it was you, I really didn't know it was you!"
