Bei Yutang sat down near the window.
Dai Xiang and Xue Qian followed suit and sat down. The four of them sat on each side, completely ignoring the shopkeeper's sullen expression.
"Get up right there. This seat is already occupied." The shopkeeper's face turned pale as he glared at the four people.
Bei Yutang slammed the order receipt on the table. "It's written in black and white. This table and this seat are ours today."
"Get up, you scoundrels! If you continue to act so unreasonably, I'll have the authorities arrest you."
"Okay, you can ask the government to arrest us now." Bei Yutang said indifferently.
Dai Xiangzhang stood up and said to the guests around him, "Everyone, come in and take a look. We reserved this table long ago, and now he's the first to breach the contract and is even the first to file a complaint. They say business should be based on honesty and integrity. This shopkeeper is so dishonest, I don't think this shop will last long."
The diners around were pointing and talking at the shopkeeper.
"Boss, what you're doing is dishonest. It's always first come, first served. If you do business like this, who would dare to reserve a table next time?"
"That's what I mean."
"It's a good day, but the shopkeeper is making a fuss here, deliberately trying to ruin our good mood."
…
The pointing and talking of the diners around made the shopkeeper feel very embarrassed. He couldn't make enemies with all the guests, so he could only glare at Bei Yutang and his group.
"I can compensate you three times the price as we agreed before." The shopkeeper told his clerk to go down and get the silver.
After a while, the waiter came over with a silver ingot weighing ten taels and placed it on the table.
The shopkeeper suppressed his anger and said with a smile, "This is compensation."
Before, he thought that since they were outsiders, as long as he showed some toughness, they would not dare to do anything and would choose to keep quiet. He did not expect these people to be so tough.
Bei Yutang glanced at the silver ingot and said with a smile, "Shopkeeper, you must have made a mistake. According to the contract, you have to compensate me with ten taels of gold."
"What?!" the shopkeeper was furious. "You're trying to blackmail me."
"It's written in black and white. If you don't believe me, just take a look for yourself." Bei Yutang handed him the original receipt.
The shopkeeper then looked at it carefully and realized that the unit of compensation was gold, not silver.
When I wrote this receipt, I just wanted to prove it, remembering only that the compensation was tripled, and I didn't even notice that it was in gold. Usually, in people's subconscious, compensation is naturally silver, not gold.
"You are deliberately cheating me." The shopkeeper was furious.
He asked why she had to ask him to add a compensation amount when she booked the table.
It turns out that they dug a hole here and asked me to jump in.
Ten taels of gold is not a small amount of money, it is only this much he earns in a month.
Bei Yutang chuckled, his tone full of sarcasm, "Do you think you're a fortune teller who can predict that you will breach the contract and know in advance that someone will take this position?"
"You..." The shopkeeper was at a loss for words.
Xue Qian said, "You sold the shopkeeper position twice in a row. How can you say we cheated you? It's not like we forced you to do this with a knife."
The shopkeeper was furious. "Since you want to sit down, then sit down. If anything happens later, don't blame me for not warning you."
The shopkeeper was so angry that he just threw his sleeves and left.
