When the waiter came to settle the bill, the Queen Mother almost fainted when she heard the number.
The total cost was fifty-six dollars.
"You are a shady shop! Did we eat gold? How dare you charge so much money!"
The waiter's face immediately darkened. "Comrade, our restaurant has clearly marked prices. Here is the bill. You have eaten so much. Let me read it to you..."
It was dinner time, and there were many people in the restaurant. Many noisy guests looked over here.
The waiter read out the items one by one: Black pepper beef, 7 liang per portion, 2 㨾 per portion, your table has ordered four portions in total.
Lamb chops, 7 liang per portion, 1.8 yuan per portion, you ordered five portions in total
Large shrimp, one pound per portion, 50g per portion, you have two portions here
…
Just that big shrimp for 5 dollars a plate? It's a life-threatening thing!
The waiter read the bill and said, "Comrades, do you have any questions?"
"It's just a little bit of meat, and you dare to sell it for two yuan per serving. Even robbers can't get you faster than you! You are a black shop, bullying us outsiders, right? Look everyone! This black shop is ripping off customers~" The Queen Mother sat on the ground and threw a tantrum. For more than fifty yuan, it would take her life!
The guests who were watching the fun all laughed. If you can't afford it, don't come in. The price is clearly marked, and they don't force you to eat.
Wang Yue felt her face burning, "Mom, stop it, this is the price, I told you, this place is very expensive!"
"It can't be too expensive! How can they rip people off like this! They dare to sell dried shrimps for five yuan a plate, what else can they say but a shady shop? I'm going to call the police, I'm going to report this shady shop!" The Queen Mother slapped her thigh and cursed.
"Old comrade, these big shrimps are sold at four yuan a pound in the market outside. We have to pay for the processing and pickling. Beef and mutton are also two yuan a pound outside. We buy them and ask the master chef to pickle them. There are also fees for seasoning and personnel. Our price increase is also within a reasonable range. You can report to the police, but you have to settle this account first!"
The onlookers all nodded. What the waiter said was right. The restaurant also has its own fees. It is normal to increase the price. Some things are not cheap to buy outside, let alone in the restaurant. If you can't afford it, don't eat it.
If you are hungry, just buy a few pounds of meat and stew it at home. Why come out and embarrass yourself?
"You are the tail of capitalism, a cancer that hinders the development of socialism! I will represent the people, cut off the tail of capitalism, and report you!" The Queen Mother waved her fists, stared with scarlet eyes and shouted loudly
Everyone... this person is still living in a primitive society, and the Qing Dynasty has been destroyed!
"Comrades, you can report it at will, but if you don't pay the bill, we will report it to the police!" The waiter ran out of patience and disturbed other guests' dining by making a lot of noise.
Wang Yue hurriedly stopped him. She was a teacher after all. If she was arrested for not paying for meals, she would lose everything she did.
"Mom, do you want me to lose my job?"
Queen Mother... that's impossible. Without the old hen, how can their family survive?
"Give me the money quickly, it's embarrassing!" After saying that, Wang's father left the restaurant. No wonder the two old guys from the Li family ran so fast!
The Queen Mother reluctantly took out a handkerchief, wrapped it in three layers, and took out fifty-six yuan to pay the bill as if cutting meat.
The waiter didn't give them a good face, and snorted, asking them to finish their meal and leave quickly.
The Queen Mother almost fainted from the pain! If she had known it was so expensive, she would not have come out to eat even if she was beaten to death! Along the way, the Wang family members were scolding Li Xingguo and the old couple of the Li family.
Wang Yue didn't say anything either. Didn't you say you gave them a thousand yuan? Otherwise, would they have said they would treat you to a meal?
