Chapter 105: Leftovers
He saw Jiang Xin, a little girl who was not very old, but she ordered three dishes and a soup as soon as she arrived.
The kind that doesn't care about the price at all.
And I'm alone, so of course I feel unbalanced.
Moreover, he is already over 40 years old. It is so shabby for such a grown man to go out for a meal and there is only one dish on the table.
People, generally speaking, are a bit vain.
When people come to a state-owned restaurant to eat, they ultimately want to try out what it feels like to dine in the restaurant.
When the time comes, I can brag to my buddies about it.
I want to give it a try, after all, it only comes once in a year or two.
He had finally come here, but he didn't have enough money in his pocket, so he was so stingy that he only ordered one dish, and he chose the cheapest one.
Those customers who dine in this area usually have several dishes on their tables.
Moreover, the dishes were a good combination of meat and vegetables, so of course he felt a sense of disappointment.
He had no way to deal with others, so when he saw Jiang Xin, he naturally used her as a target and a punching bag.
But who would have thought that a young girl like Jiang Xin was not easy to mess with.
He just said a few words to her with the airs of an elder, but the little girl started arguing with him.
But he just didn't care about this point.
Originally, they wanted to use the words of the people around them to put some pressure on Jiang Xin, but they didn't expect that Jiang Xin was too eloquent and a few words made those people sober up.
Now, no matter how much he explains, it will be useless.
The middle-aged man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. For a moment, he was speechless. After all, it was something he had no business doing. Now, these people were looking at him. He really didn't know how to end it.
Those people around who were originally watching the fun, said something here and there, all of which were slandering him.
He now felt extremely regretful and wondered why he had provoked Jiang Xin just now.
I thought she was a punching bag, but turned out to be a hot pepper. She is not someone to be messed with at all.
Seeing so many people present at the scene, he couldn't argue for himself anymore. After all, it was unreasonable.
The man opened his mouth and then closed it.
He was alone, having to go against these people, so he must be very upset. So he ate faster and picked up the chopsticks that had just fallen from his hand.
He took the bowl in his hand and quickly ate up the remaining few mouthfuls of rice. Then he ran away, asked the waiter to pay the bill, and left the state-owned restaurant.
Jiang Xin didn't expect that this matter would end like this.
I thought this man would continue to pester her for a while and argue with her, but now he is running away in such a panic. This is really something that Jiang Xin did not consider.
There were indeed some things that Jiang Xin did not expect.
But on second thought, this was a good idea, at least she wouldn't have to waste her own time.
At the market, Lin Ye was still waiting for her meal. If she had another argument with this man, the food would probably be cold by the time she returned to the market.
There was a quartz clock inside the state-owned restaurant, hanging on the opposite wall. Jiang Xin looked up and saw that it had only been less than ten minutes since she placed the order.
There are quite a lot of people in the restaurant, and it will probably take quite a while for her dish to be served.
So, she had no choice but to stand there and wait.
Those people who were watching the fun just now, seeing that the protagonist had already left, naturally, there was no reason for them to join in the fun.
Moreover, the matter has been made clear. They were the ones who wronged Jiang Xin and were in the wrong, so naturally they would not say anything more.
So, even if the matter ended like this, they all returned to their tables and continued to eat, but their eyes would glance at Jiang Xin every now and then.
There is no other meaning, I'm just pure curiosity.
Jiang Xin didn't react too much when she saw all those stares. After all, it wasn't a big deal to be stared at a few times. She wouldn't lose a hair or a piece of flesh.
If it were true that she could lose two pounds just by being looked at by these people, she would be extremely happy.
After all, losing weight is such a painful thing.
I don’t know how long it took, maybe about ten minutes, the waiter finally took out the packaged food from the kitchen and handed it to Jiang Xin.
Jiang Xin took the lunch box from the waiter and thanked the waiter.
Then she turned around and left. In her free time, she had already gone to the counter to pay the bill.
Three dishes and a soup cost about fifteen yuan.
If you think about it this way, it’s actually no wonder that the middle-aged man just broke down. After all, nowadays, the average monthly salary is only 30 or 40 yuan. Jiang Xin spent almost a week’s salary on a meal. Isn’t that bound to make people hate her?
But there was no other way, and there was no need for her to endure the hardship, so Jiang Xin actually didn't think about it that much.
She took the lunch box, looked down, and sure enough, it was the dish she ordered, then turned and left.
There are still people waiting at the vegetable market. I can't let Lin Ye go hungry because of her.
After returning to the vegetable market, since Jiang Xin had not eaten yet, if he waited for her in the state-owned restaurant, and then went back to deliver the meal to Lin Ye after she had finished her meal, then the time would not be so tight.
Therefore, Jiang Xin did not eat in the state-owned restaurant. Instead, she chose to ask the waiter to divide the food she bought into two portions, and then she and Lin Ye would each have one portion and eat separately.
Moreover, more than that, she thought of something else. If she really ate in the state-owned restaurant, and then packed up the leftover food and brought it back to Lin Ye, wouldn't that mean that he would be eating leftovers, which would be very bad.
Although he was her employee, he worked for her and received her salary.
However, you can't let others eat your leftovers. That's so unfair. Jiang Xin would feel bad about that.
So, it would be better to pack up the food and let them eat together when they get home. This way, there would be no need to worry about causing misunderstandings.
