Next, the two brothers took the remaining food to the school cafeteria.
The school cafeteria follows the menu: 50 jin of green peppers, 100 jin of green beans, 100 jin of pumpkin, and 100 jin of red peppers.
The prices are also based on those in the state-owned market.
Green beans and pumpkins are both 15 cents a pound, so 200 pounds would cost 30 yuan.
One hundred jin of green beans would cost fifteen yuan.
Green chili peppers cost 18 cents a pound, so 50 pounds would cost 9 yuan.
Red chili peppers cost two cents a pound, so fifty pounds would cost ten dollars.
That adds up to sixty-four yuan.
After deducting the three-dollar rebate, it's sixty-one yuan.
Because the vegetables were very fresh, and my uncle and his family gave us an extra two pounds.
Yu Chengyuan gave the extra green beans and chili peppers to Minister Qian.
Although it's worthless, it represents his sincerity.
Minister Qian was very pleased. When he saw the eels in the bucket, he bought two more jin of eels.
The market price for eels is 1.6 yuan per jin (500g), but Yu Chengyuan calculated it to be 1.5 yuan per jin and sold it for 3 yuan.
The school cafeteria cost a total of sixty-four yuan.
Moreover, Minister Qian gave us quite a list today, and there may have been a lot left over from yesterday, so we didn't ask for that much.
The grocery shopping list for tomorrow that I make today will be completely different.
Fifty catties of tomatoes, one hundred catties of cucumbers, one hundred catties of cabbage, ten catties of scallions, and fifty catties of eggs.
"Brother, let's take the chickens and eggs that Uncle and the others sent to my wife first!"
It just so happens that this place is close to that place.
Later I'll take you to a place that sells wild game and fish.
Yu Chengyuan said to his elder brother.
"good."
Yu Pingan nodded.
Before long, the two arrived downstairs.
"Chengyuan, you can take the things upstairs!"
I won't go up.
Anyway, we're leaving soon.
Yu Pingan felt embarrassed to go up, as he was covered in dust and dirt.
"That won't do. Since you're here, you should at least go up and say hello."
Otherwise it would seem too impolite.
After all, we are the younger generation.
Yu Pingan knew what her brother was thinking.
The reason is that he used to be unable to even enter his own home, which left a shadow in his older brother's heart.
However, persuaded by his younger brother, the older brother went with him anyway.
The two brothers didn't sit for long before Yu Chengyuan went inside to check on his wife and Tangtang.
She then brought the child out for her older brother to see for a while and even let him hold the child.
The eldest brother is the elder brother's brother-in-law, so he can't go into his younger brother's wife's room. Therefore, Yu Chengyuan can only bring Tangtang out for his elder brother to see.
Yu Chengyuan smiled and told his parents-in-law that they had already delivered all the dishes for today.
Minister Qian and Minister Wang were both very satisfied.
I still need to sell the fish I caught later.
Then he put down a hundred eggs and two hens, explaining that they were a gift from his eldest and second uncles to help Su Lan recover.
The two brothers chatted for a while and then left.
You need to send it over early, otherwise they won't accept it if it's late.
Yu Chengyuan was wearing a slightly faded shirt with the cuffs rolled up slightly, followed by his older brother wearing a slightly worn blue undershirt.
After walking for about ten minutes, the two brothers finally arrived at the largest hotel in the county town—Jinjiang Hotel.
The restaurant entrance was bustling with cars and people, all dressed smartly. Yu Chengyuan took a deep breath and led his brother inside.
Upon entering, the bright lights and luxurious decorations in the lobby made them feel somewhat uneasy.
Just then, a slick-haired waiter walked over, glanced at the two brothers from head to toe, and gave them a disdainful sneer.
"Hey, look at these two, they've come to the wrong place, haven't they?"
"Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can come in here."
The waiter said sarcastically, his eyes full of disdain.
Yu Chengyuan's face instantly turned red. He clenched his fists tightly, suppressing his anger, and said, "You're just a waiter here, a wage earner. What gives you the right to look down on people like that?"
"We didn't steal or rob anything, so why can't we come in here? Isn't this a place to eat?"
"Hey buddy, why are you talking so rudely?"
We're all human beings, why can they go in but we can't?
The waiter snorted and said sarcastically, "They're all here to eat, of course they can come in."
With your poor and pathetic appearance, how could you possibly afford to pay?
Stop embarrassing yourself here and get out of here!
This isn't your typical small restaurant; a single dish costs several yuan. It's not a place for people like you to come and spend money.
Hurry up and go, go, go…
The young waiter became impatient and started trying to shoo people away.
When Yu Pingan heard that a single dish cost several yuan, he was secretly astonished.
Good heavens, are restaurants in the city really that expensive?
The older brother pulled his younger brother and whispered, "Chengyuan, let's go!"
This place looks really upscale, and that waiter acted like he was going to eat us alive.
"Brother, don't be afraid, this is just a place to eat."
Yu Chengyuan patted his older brother on the shoulder.
Then, his sharp gaze swept over the waiter, "Young man, when you're out in the game, don't be so arrogant and conceited, acting like you don't care about anyone."
Don't judge a person solely by their clothing and appearance.
You just said that my brother and I can't afford the food here.
"Look, can we even afford the food you provide here?"
Yu Chengyuan took out a wad of money, placed it on the table, and slammed it down heavily.
The waiter immediately backed down when he saw the stacks of ten-yuan bills on the table.
That must be at least 100 yuan!
He quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, distinguished guests, it's all my fault for not recognizing your greatness."
"Please have a seat, both of you. I'll make you some tea."
Yu Ping'an was completely stunned; the waiter's attitude changed so quickly.
One second he's like an emperor emeritus, the next he's a lackey.
"No need for tea. Go and call your boss out right now. I have something to say to him."
Yu Chengyuan pulled his older brother to sit down and waved to the waiter.
"Okay, esteemed guest, please wait a moment."
The waiter quickly ran upstairs to the second floor.
"Chengyuan, you were really amazing just now!"
That scared the guy so much.
My little brother looked so majestic and imposing just now!
"Brother, this is the kind of harsh and stern way to deal with people like this who look down on others."
Kind people are often bullied, and good horses are often ridden; this is especially true when you're out in the world.
You can't be too honest when you're out in the future, or you'll easily suffer losses.
Chameleons like this waiter are everywhere; if you're afraid of him, he'll only think more important.
Yu Chengyuan understands his brother's personality, and he tells him these things in the hope that he can be more assertive in the future and not be bullied by others.
