"I understand what you mean, but I don't agree with you saying my food isn't tasty. Over the years, no one who's eaten my food has ever said it's not tasty, so I seriously doubt your intentions. I want to know why you're lying with your eyes open."
Shopkeeper Zhang's tone was not as calm as before, and there was a hint of hostility on his face.
The other party was obviously angry.
When Su Miaomiao saw Xiao Yunfei's face change, she quickly pulled Xiao Yunfei and gave him a wink.
She knew that sometimes taking action was more effective than anything else, but she tried not to take action when she could avoid it.
She wanted to use courtesy first and then force.
As long as Xiao Yunfei is around, she can talk to others without worry, because even if her arguments fail, Xiao Yunfei will back her up.
Su Miaomiao looked up at Shopkeeper Zhang.
"Shopkeeper Zhang, there's no need to be so harsh. Everyone has different tastes. You're running a business, and you can't expect everyone to like your food. That would be too overbearing, right?"
"Other people's food may not be delicious, but my food is definitely delicious. I just don't agree if you say my food is bad. You have a purpose!"
How conceited does one have to be to say something like that?
Isn’t this the shopkeeper being unreasonable?
Su Miaomiao was speechless and asked back.
"What purpose could we have? We did think the food wasn't tasty, but we didn't say we wouldn't pay. We just complained to our family that the food wasn't tasty. Is that not okay?"
If this doesn't work, the store owner is too overbearing.
Even if it is a store run by gangsters, they can't be so overbearing and they can't expect everyone to have the same taste.
If complaining about the taste of a dish while chatting with your family is considered wrong, is there any justice in the world?
No matter which angle she looked at it from, she couldn't understand what Shopkeeper Zhang was thinking.
Shopkeeper Zhang retorted.
"Didn't I say no? I'm saying I'm not convinced. I suspect you said that for a purpose. Now unless you can prove that your mother's cooking is better than my chef's."
Shopkeeper Zhang was talking to Su Miaomiao.
Su Miaomiao said with a slight frown.
"It was my children who said my cooking was delicious. They were talking about me, not my mother."
After Su Miaomiao finished speaking, she felt that there was no need to argue about this with the shopkeeper. Just as she was about to bring the subject back, she heard Shopkeeper Zhang say.
"You? You little girl, you dare to say your food is better than my chef's? What a joke! If your food is good, I'll take your last name. I still say the same thing, either you prove right now that your food is better than my chef's, or you can't leave today. Stay here and wait for me to investigate your background."
Is this intended to restrict personal freedom?
How dare a restaurant owner say such a thing? Could it be that their luck was so bad that they really ran into the underworld?
Su Miaomiao thought the other party's words were ridiculous, so she asked back.
"Why should I waste my time proving it to you? Even if you're the owner of this store, you have no right to demand things of me, let alone restrict my personal freedom."
Su Miaomiao spoke word by word with great momentum.
Then she raised her voice and spoke loudly.
"Shopkeeper Zhang, there are so many people watching us in this restaurant. If you treat your customers like this, aren't you afraid that if word gets out, no one will dare to eat in your restaurant anymore? Or are you the boss of this county? You're not afraid of anything, you can act tyrannically, you don't take anyone seriously, you don't even treat your customers as human beings, and if you're in a bad mood, you can just refuse to let them leave?"
Su Miaomiao's tone was extremely inflammatory.
When the customers in the store heard her words, many of them couldn't help but whisper to each other and point fingers at Manager Zhang.
"I understand the whole story. It's really inappropriate for Shopkeeper Zhang to force people to prove themselves. It's really a bit arrogant and unreasonable."
"I also think that Shopkeeper Zhang went a bit too far. The family just thought the food wasn't tasty, and they didn't say they wouldn't pay for it. Shopkeeper Zhang really went too far."
"We're all here to take care of business. Shopkeeper Zhang doesn't treat customers as human beings. I used to think his waiters were arrogant and disrespectful, but his shopkeeper's attitude towards us was okay. I didn't expect his shopkeeper to be so unreasonable."
"Sir, Shopkeeper Zhang treats you well because you are of a special status. Normally, anyone who can afford to eat at his restaurant is someone he can't afford to offend, so he naturally doesn't dare to neglect them. But this family is different. They are obviously from outside the city, and they are women with a lot of children. They look easy to bully."
"Haha, Shopkeeper Zhang really treats people differently. I never thought he was such a person. If he continues to be so unreasonable and makes things difficult for others, I won't come here again even if his food is delicious."
......
In addition to those who were whispering, there were also people who couldn't stand it anymore and yelled at Manager Zhang.
"Manager Zhang, they've brought their families to take care of your business. Isn't it a shame for you to make things difficult for them?"
Someone started this and someone in the crowd immediately echoed it.
"Yes, Shopkeeper Zhang, they just came to your restaurant to eat a meal and didn't do anything harmful. Why do you have to treat them like this?"
"I just made it very clear that I'm not here to cause trouble. Besides, have you ever seen anyone bring a group of children to cause trouble? Who in their right mind would do that? If I were to say so, Manager Zhang, please stop being so persistent."
"Yes, don't be so persistent."
There are still many people who uphold justice, and the voices of the masses are heard one after another.
Shopkeeper Zhang still counts on this store to make money for him, and he dares not offend these ancestors, otherwise he will have no business in the future.
His expression changed faster than turning the pages of a book. He immediately put his hands together and bowed to everyone.
"Dear guests, you misunderstood me. I heard her say that her dishes were better than my chef's, and I wanted to broaden her horizons. Perhaps I misinterpreted myself and caused you to misunderstand. Now, let me rephrase it. Is that okay? Everyone, calm down first. I'm sorry to have interrupted your meal. I'll have the kitchen give each table a complimentary side dish. Zhang, please bear with me."
Shopkeeper Zhang spoke in a humble tone and smiled at everyone.
This shows that Su Miaomiao made the right bet. Manager Zhang is not yet at the point where he can cover the sky with one hand. He is still afraid of offending other customers in the store.
Su Miaomiao couldn't help rolling her eyes at the other person's hypocritical look.
At this time, Shopkeeper Zhang said to her.
"Madam, Mr. Zhang would like to see your cooking skills. Could you please show us yours?"
Shopkeeper Zhang then added in an emphasizing tone.
"Of course I'm not asking you to do this. I'm asking you to show us your skills. As long as you agree, feel free to ask for anything you want. For example, I can give you a free meal today, or some extra money, or anything else you want. You can ask for it."
After hearing this, Su Miaomiao suddenly became interested and raised her eyebrows and asked.
"Can you mention anything?"
Shopkeeper Zhang spread his hands and said confidently.
"Of course, but I also have requests."
