Chapter 99: Upstart
Just when Beiye and Gu Rao were about to close the stall, a short and thin man came to the stall and asked, "Is it possible that anyone who came here yesterday can get a zongzi here?" ”
Gu Rao smiled and said, "Yes." ”
Li Shen looked at the empty stall.
"Aren't your rice dumplings sold out? Can I still get zongzi when I register now? ”
Gu Rao said, "The zongzi that we used to sell were indeed sold out, but if we were guests, we could take out the zongzi we kept to eat and give them to the guests." ”
Li Shen said, "I also ate casserole rice noodles in the store yesterday, you should still remember, right?" ”
Gu Rao was actually not impressed.
Although her memory is good, there were too many guests yesterday, and her attention was not on all the guests, so naturally she did not pay attention to the appearance of all the guests.
"I do have an impression of you, but I don't remember if I was here yesterday."
"We have clear regulations that in order to place someone who came to receive free zongzi in order to receive it, he said that he came by himself even though he didn't come yesterday, so there must be at least two people who prove that he came yesterday, and the person who testifies must also be someone who ate a casserole with us yesterday to get the zongzi."
Li Shen frowned.
"Why is it so troublesome? It's just a zongzi, is it so complicated? ”
Gu Rao's complexion did not change.
"One zongzi is naturally unnecessary, but what we send out is not one, but hundreds of zongzi, so we naturally have to set rules."
Li Shen wanted to give up a little, but when he thought of his friend sharing a bite with him just now, the taste of that bite still can't be forgotten, and I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night if I don't eat it today.
Moreover, he also wanted his sister to taste it too.
"I'll pay for it."
In the past, when I was poor, I naturally had to be careful with my budget, but now I ...... I have a little money on me, so there's no need to pick and search so much.
Be generous for once!
Gu Rao's eyes flashed with surprise, observing Li Shen's dress, the scars on his clothes were obvious, he was not a rich person, his skin was dark and rough, and it could be seen that he often worked as coolies.
In general, such people are more frugal.
As long as they can take advantage, let alone find two people as witnesses, even if they find five, or even ten, they will not be too troublesome.
"Sorry, guest, the rice dumplings used to sell today are sold out."
Li Shen's brows furrowed.
"Didn't you just say that you could give it away from what you kept for yourself? Since you can give it away, why can't you take it out and sell it? ”
"How can a businessman be so rigid?"
Gu Rao said apologetically, "We don't keep much for ourselves, if it is not necessary, we don't want to give it away, and we don't want to sell it, we really can't sell it to you."
Li Shen, "......"
If it weren't for the fact that after tasting a bite, he would have been haunted by the dream, knowing that the taste of zongzi is really delicious, and besides, his sister has always liked to eat zongzi, so he wouldn't be too lazy to climb here!
"Wouldn't it be okay if I gave you some extra money?"
Gu Rao was even more surprised in her heart.
How can this man act like an upstart for a bite to eat? If it's really a nouveau riche, how can you not even change your clothes into new ones?
Could it be that you have only recently made a fortune?
How long has it been lately?
The family was robbed yesterday, and Gu Rao paid special attention to everything that suddenly became rich and everything was unusual, and she had to think about it at this time.
Although it was just a guess, she might as well test it, she didn't want to let go of any opportunity to catch the thief.
"I'm sorry, but I can't give more money."
"We don't have a few zongzi to eat, and if the guest is troublesome and doesn't want to find someone to prove that you came yesterday, we can't send you zongzi."
"Of course, if it is confirmed that you really came yesterday, it is my own impression that I have no impression and misunderstood that you are here to deceive the zongzi, as compensation, I think I can give you one more zongzi."
Li Shen was moved when he heard this.
He is worried that he can't buy zongzi, even if he gets a zongzi, he can only eat it with his sister when he goes back, and a zongzi needs two people to eat, and it is estimated that it is not enough to be addicted.
Now give him one more zongzi, and you can have a zongzi with your sister.
In previous years, the family was poor, and they couldn't even open the pot, let alone spend money extravagantly to buy zongzi to eat, but now they finally have some money, and they must eat zongzi!
"You wait for me a while, and I'll go find a witness now."
"Zhang San and Chen Zhong both saw me yesterday, and I chatted with them for a while, they can come to testify against me, and then you don't regret it, you want to give me two zongzi."
Gu Rao nodded.
"Okay, we'll wait for you and never regret it."
Li Shenxing left in a hurry.
After waiting for the others to leave, Bei Ye said, "You can sell it just now, why don't you sell it?" ”
Gu Rao voiced her suspicions.
"I always think that person is a little strange, he looks very poor, but he would rather spend money on zongzi than let others testify, as if he is covering up something."
"He was willing to pay later, which made me even more suspicious that he had become rich recently, and the time to get rich should be in the near future, so he hadn't had time to change out of the set of clothes on his body that was covered in scars."
But will the thief really deliver himself to the door?
For a bite to eat, I delivered it to my door.
This is also outrageous.
Beiye was silent after hearing this, and after a while he still said, "Whether your suspicions are accurate or not, it is better to believe them or not." ”
"Let's watch him a little bit later."
Gu Rao reached out and grabbed Bie Ye's hand, turned her head and smiled sweetly at him, the dimples on both sides of her cheeks were exposed again, and her eyes were also bright.
"Okay."
originally thought that he would feel that he was too suspicious and too whimsical, but he didn't immediately refute it, nor did he feel that her suspicions were superfluous, so that she could feel that her every move, thought and thought was valued by this man, and this feeling of being valued and affirmed was very fresh, reassuring, and heartwarming.
"Squeak-"
The sound of the door opening sounded.
Gu Rao turned her head to see that it was the door of the martial arts family that opened, Bai Yunju came out of it, and after seeing the couple, she only nodded to say hello, and then carried the basket and prepared to go out.
Besano called it to stop.
"Aunt Bai, you said yesterday that you would return our food box today, but we were too busy with business in the morning, so we didn't go to you, and I wanted to ask after closing the stall."
Bai Yunju had no choice but to turn around.
"I came to the house with my children to eat this morning, and when I went back, I wanted to bring food for my second son-in-law, so I used your food box, and I am about to pick it up now."
Gu Rao said, "We close late tonight, after you get it back, just knock on our door." ”
Bai Yunju agreed.
"Okay."
"Then I'll go first."
With that, he turned and left.
After the others left, Gu Rao complained, "The food box was lent to her to use, but she was not polite, she didn't ask us, she just gave it to others to use." ”
"Don't break it for me."
Beno apologized, "I shouldn't have lent it to her at the time." ”
Gu Rao shook her head.
"It's none of your business, who knew she would lend our stuff to someone else? Forget it, as long as the food box can be returned to us in its entirety. ”
