Chapter 186: Trouble
The Wan family's shop had been open for a few days and business was booming every day.
Mrs. Wan San inherited her cooking skills from her grandfather, and the food she cooks is better than even the big restaurants in town.
Moreover, it is of good quality and inexpensive, making it the best choice for ordinary people and people working in the town.
At noon that day, Wan Lao Si and Wan Lao San were extremely busy. There were not enough tables in the store. Late customers simply ordered a meal and started eating on the floor.
Many people here are workers from the construction site next door. On the first day of opening, the group of people who came here to eat went back to spread the word, and other people came to try it too. As a result, after eating the food in Wanjia Shop, they never wanted to eat cold and hard steamed corn bread again. After all, after a day's work, if you don't eat well at noon, you will feel tired in the afternoon.
The mayor pays high wages, and no one wants to be kicked out because of poor physical strength. There are still many people queuing up waiting for vacancies!
This lunch at noon became everyone's survival meal. A few days ago, when Wanjia shop was not open, many people had already been kicked out by the manager because they were exhausted and could not last the whole day.
"Boss, five bowls of braised pork with rice, as usual."
Before Hu Da even entered the shop, his loud voice could be heard.
When Wan Laosi heard that it was an old acquaintance, he quickly put down the work in his hands and went to greet him with a smile.
"Brother Hu, you are here, please come in."
Ever since Hu Da had the braised pork with rice last time, he has had a bowl every day at noon. Not only that, he also brought dozens of people. The store's business is booming, and a large part of the reason is because of Hu Da's influence.
So Wan Lao Si and Wan Lao San discussed it and decided to clean up a room in the back wing for these people to use.
So even though there were no seats left in the store at that time, Hu Da was not worried. He was led directly to the backyard by Wan Laosi to sit. Hu Da also enjoyed this high-level treatment and had a better impression of the Wan family. He praised Wan Laosi for his ability to handle things behind their backs.
Just as Wan Laosi led Hu Da and his group into the backyard, a man came out of the shop in front.
This man was the same man who bought the cow last time.
When Wan Lao San saw the man coming in, he stepped forward with a smile on his face and greeted him, "Sir, our restaurant is full. If you can wait, please wait at the door. If you can't wait, please come earlier next time."
"Humph, I, Su Changsheng, have never seen a shopkeeper chase customers away. I will eat in your shop today. Hurry up and find a seat for me, otherwise I will go out and ruin your reputation, saying that your shop is big and bullies customers."
Su Changsheng was wearing a thick lake blue cotton robe today. He held his head high like a peacock with its tail spread out. He stood in the middle of the shop with a haughty look on his face, his hands behind his back, looking as if to say, "What can you do to me?"
Wan Laosan gave a bitter smile. He was not as flexible as Wan Laosi in dealing with such a person. Wan Laosi happened to be away at the moment, and he didn't know how to deal with it alone.
Wan Xi was holding food for a guest in his hand. After delivering the food, he walked to Wan Lao San and glanced at Su Changsheng.
"Uncle, please open your eyes and take a look. How can our small shop be worthy of the claim that a big shop bullies customers? If we bully customers, we won't have so many customers. We are all businessmen. If we are upright, we have nothing to do. If you insist on doing this, we can't do anything. Please go to the street and shout. If you are worried that the impact is not enough, we have a gong in our shop. You can lend it to us to shout on the street and promote our small shop at the same time."
Su Changsheng was so angry at what a kid said that he raised his hand and grabbed Wan Xi's collar and lifted him up.
Wan Lao San was startled by Su Changsheng's sudden action. After reacting, he rushed towards Su Changsheng's waist.
Although Su Changsheng looks tall and strong, he is actually just a show-off. In addition, he hangs out in red-light district all day long, and his body has been hollowed out. He was hit hard by Wan Laosan and fell to the side.
His hand instantly let go of Wan Xi, and Wan Lao San reached out and grabbed Wan Xi's arm, so the boy did not fall to the ground.
"How are you? Are you not scared? Go to the backyard quickly. Uncle San is here. Don't be afraid."
Wan Xi was indeed a little frightened just now. After all, he was a new kid in the village. How could he have seen such a fight over a disagreement? If it was someone of the same age, it would be fine, but the other party was an adult, and he was so shameless as to bully a child.
"Uncle San, did I get into trouble? I shouldn't have said those words just now."
Wan Xi felt a little guilty. He was very angry just now, so he spoke without thinking and stood up for his uncle. How could he have thought that the people at the border were so violent?
"No, you did a great job. How can we endure it when people are bullying us? It's okay, don't take it personally."
Wan Laosan was not very good at comforting people, but he could still say a few heartwarming words to his own nephew and patted Wan Xi on the shoulder.
Su Changsheng got up from the ground, raised his fist and was about to hit Wan Laosan, but was stopped by the diners next to him.
"Young man, if you come to eat, you have to queue up. What they said is true. We are all queuing up. It's dinner time now. Don't let one of you delay everyone's meal. We are not as rich as you. We have to go back to work after dinner. Don't make trouble here."
An old man's calloused hands tightly grasped Su Changsheng's wrist like a pair of iron pliers. Su Changsheng struggled several times but failed to break free, and his face turned red.
The old man's words immediately aroused the response of other people in the store.
"Yeah, what's wrong with you? Even when eating, we have to follow the first come first served rule. There are so many people waiting in front of you, what are you doing here?"
"Get out now, don't delay everyone's meal."
"Yes, get out."
Su Changsheng didn't expect that this business was so good that customers would take the initiative to speak for them. The shame and indignation in his heart turned into strong anger, but he was very thick-skinned. Even with so many people chasing him away, he still refused to leave.
"You all shut up. He just pushed me and I got hurt. They want compensation, ten taels of silver. Without ten taels of silver, this matter cannot be settled today. I just stayed in their shop and made trouble. What's wrong?"
Su Changsheng looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. He pushed one person away and sat on the long bench, crossing his legs, holding his waist with one hand, and crying out "ouch, ouch".
Anyone can see that this is blackmail.
It happened that Wan Laosi came out from the backyard after entertaining Hu Da. As soon as he came out, he saw that the shop was very lively and everyone was surrounding the person in the middle and talking.
