Chapter 53 I can’t afford it, not even a bowl of wontons
Lin Manjiao and Xu Shuozhou both looked somewhat amused.
Xu Shuozhou had a dark face and was about to get off the car.
Lin Manjiao quickly grabbed him, then smiled apologetically at the driver: "We're sitting, we're sitting..."
As she spoke, she glanced at the few people.
There is definitely no chance of borrowing money from Shen Shiman.
Zhou Baibai and the other two don't seem like people who are easy to get along with...
After thinking about it, she stood up and walked to Xu Xiangnuan's side: "Sister Xu, do you think it's possible..."
As soon as she opened the conversation, Xu Xiangnuan looked embarrassed: "Teacher Lin, you know that Lao Gu lost the game, and we don't have much money at all."
Lin Manjiao looked embarrassed for a moment.
She suppressed her emotions and tried to put on a smile: "Just lend me 4 yuan, I will definitely pay you back when we get off the bus..."
Lin Manjiao almost raised her hand and swore: "I'll pay you double, okay?"
She clasped her hands together and begged: "Please, please, please~"
Xu Xiangnuan usually doesn't refuse people, especially after she refuses once, if the other party continues to beg, she will inevitably feel soft-hearted and embarrassed, and even have a faint sense of guilt...
So much so that at this moment Lin Manjiao kept pulling at her sleeves and begging her coquettishly. She wanted to refuse many times, but she didn't know how to say it.
"That……"
Xu Xiangnuan looked at Gu Qiming apologetically: "Okay then..."
She took out four coins and handed them to Lin Manjiao, saying hopefully, "When we get off the bus, you must return them to me!"
Even though I already felt it was impossible...
Not only were Lin Manjiao and Xu Shuozhou heavily in debt, they also had no way of making money.
The possibility of being able to repay the money is probably very slim.
Xu Xiangnuan sighed and began to regret his own failure.
Lin Manjiao was already throwing the coins as if she had found a treasure.
He casually promised, "Of course, of course, I will pay it back!"
As for what to give back...
Isn’t there a saying that goes, there is always a way when you reach the mountain?
Let’s talk about it after we get off the car!
Anyway, I can’t separate from these people now…
When the driver saw that the person had paid the coin, he stopped urging the person to get out of the car and started the car by shaking his head.
Chunxiang Road is not far from the hotel.
It only takes a few minutes by car to get there.
As soon as they got off the car, they looked at the shops lining the street and suddenly felt tears welling up in their eyes.
"There's a wonton shop over there, let's go eat some wontons!"
Zhou Baibai pointed in a direction with his sharp eyes.
Gu Qiming and others looked over and saw a hanging flag outside a small restaurant, which was already somewhat blackened by oil smoke and was fluttering in the wind.
Lin Manjiao couldn't help but frown, revealing a hint of disgust.
"…This isn't clean, is it?" she whispered.
But with Mai hanging there, everyone else heard it clearly.
There was a look of silence in the eyes of several people, but no one said anything.
Lin Manjiao also realized later that she had said something wrong. She pursed her lips and stopped talking, looking a little pitiful.
"Let's just have wontons. It should be cheaper." Gu Qiming said with a smile, resolving the brief awkwardness.
No one had any objection, and those who had no money were even less likely to have any objection, so they went to the wonton shop together.
When the boss saw the new guests, and there were quite a few of them, he immediately poured them some water and served them some melon seeds, greeting them warmly.
"Hey, come on, come on, sit down, what do you want to eat?"
While they were talking, Zhou Baibai had already been seated.
After a while, even the tableware was set.
Gu Qiming and others felt a little uncomfortable and embarrassed.
But since everyone was so enthusiastic, it would be impolite and embarrassing if they didn't sit down with them.
Seeing the few empty tables in the small shop, Gu Qiming and the others naturally thought that the business was slow, so they were particularly enthusiastic when they saw them.
It was not until they sat down and opened the menu handed over by the enthusiastic proprietress that the melon seeds in their mouths suddenly lost their fragrance...
15 small wontons with fresh meat——25\/bowl
???
Are you sure you're not here to steal money?
Several people were feeling a little uneasy at this moment.
Zhang Qing pulled Zhou Baibai up and wanted to leave, but the proprietress came over with a small notebook in her hand and said, "Let's see what we want to eat. All of our food is handmade and the ingredients are bought fresh that day. They are absolutely fresh."
As she spoke, she had already refilled the tea cups for several people.
Several people were a little overwhelmed by the enthusiasm, and they also felt embarrassed if they didn't buy anything after entering.
What's more, they ate other people's melon seeds and drank other people's tea...
After much struggle, I had to reluctantly order a bowl of the cheapest fresh meat wontons.
There's no other way. Apart from fresh meat, nothing else like crab roe, shrimp, fish roe, etc. is cheap.
Even if they gave all their money, they still couldn't afford a bowl of it.
