In the noisy restaurant, the aunt and nephew sat opposite each other, chatting happily while eating heartily. They swept away the food and drinks on the table like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves. In a short while, the food and drinks on the table were swept away, leaving the cups and plates in a mess.
After eating and drinking, the middle-aged man wiped his mouth with a look of satisfaction on his face. He waved his hand and shouted at the top of his voice: "Waiter, check out!"
The sound was particularly loud in the restaurant, attracting the attention of guests from several tables around. Then, he slowly reached into his pocket, fumbled around and took out two dollars, and put them on the table with a "pop".
When the waiter saw this, he was dumbfounded, his face full of surprise and confusion, thinking that the gap was too big.
She hurried forward, with a professional smile on her face, and said politely, "Sir, your meal just now cost a total of 268 yuan."
"What?" The middle-aged man's eyes widened instantly, and his expression was exaggerated as if he had heard a fairy tale. "You dare to charge 268 yuan for this dish that is not even hygienic? You are planning to rip me off!"
As he spoke, he excitedly tapped the table with his fingers, making a "bang bang" sound.
When the waiter heard this, he immediately became anxious and his smile faded. He hurriedly explained, "Sir, the dishes you ordered are already expensive. Those two bottles of wine are worth 100 yuan!"
"What kind of crappy wine is worth 100 yuan?" The middle-aged man got even more excited when he heard it. He stood up suddenly, picked up the remaining wine and held it in front of the waiter. "Look for yourself, when I poured the wine just now, there was a fly floating in the wine!"
The waiter took a closer look and saw that there was indeed a tiny fly at the bottom of the wine glass, which stood out particularly against the remaining wine.
The waiter was really dumbfounded and his mind went blank.
This wine has been sold in the store for so long, and this has never happened before. How could it be possible? She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but was speechless for a moment.
Before the waiter could recover, the middle-aged man pointed at the bowl of steamed sea bass and said loudly, "Look at what's in here!"
The waiter looked in the direction he pointed, and actually saw two flies in the bowl, standing out among the white fish and the emerald green onions.
Seeing that the waiter was frightened, the middle-aged man showed a barely perceptible smugness on his face. He cleared his throat and said seriously, "Let me tell you the truth. I am Section Chief Chen who is in charge of the hygiene of your restaurant. Your hygiene situation is seriously substandard!"
As he said this, he shook his head seriously.
The waitress was frightened by this sudden situation. In a panic, she quickly ran to the kitchen and pulled out Lin Yuexi, who was busy instructing the chefs to cook.
When Lin Yuexi heard this, she immediately understood that Section Chief Chen was obviously here to eat for free. When she saw that the waiter didn't buy his account, she immediately rolled her eyes.
But I have never heard of anyone like Section Chief Chen!
She understood, but the matter had to be dealt with eventually, so Lin Yuexi had no choice but to follow the waiter and walk towards the table of guests.
"Hello, I'm Lin Yuexi, the person in charge of this restaurant. I heard that you have questions about the dishes and drinks. Could you tell me in detail?" Lin Yuexi had a decent smile on her face and her tone was neither humble nor arrogant.
The middle-aged man straightened his back when he saw the real boss coming. He snorted, "Are you the person in charge? Look at the food and the wine. The hygiene is worrying! As the head of the hygiene department, I can't just sit there and watch."
Lin Yuexi glanced at the wine glasses and food bowls, and she was suspicious, but she still responded politely: "Chief Chen, thank you very much for pointing out our problem. It's just that the quality of these wines and dishes has always been strictly controlled. It's really strange that this situation suddenly occurred. Can you allow me to investigate?"
The middle-aged man crossed his arms and said with disdain, "Investigation? Don't try to delay time and cover up the problem. If you don't give me a satisfactory explanation for what happened today, you can forget about running this restaurant."
The middle-aged woman at the side also echoed: "That's right, my nephew is doing this for everyone's health, you have to take it seriously." Lin Yuexi frowned slightly. She noticed that the eye contact between the aunt and nephew was a little strange, and she was sure that there must be something hidden behind this matter.
But something happened suddenly tonight, and there was no evidence at all. If I argued with him, it would definitely affect other diners in the restaurant. It seemed that this dumb guy had suffered a loss today!
So Lin Yuexi could only smile and say, "Chief Chen, do you want to re-test the hygiene conditions of our store, or what do you want?"
The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes, a sly look flashed in his eyes, his chin slightly raised, and said arrogantly: "Retest? Humph, too much trouble! Your problem is too serious. How about this, considering that it is not easy for you to do business, I will pay for the two dollars for the meal, and you don't have to pay for the dishes! In the future, you just need to pay more attention to hygiene..."
When Lin Yuexi heard this, she sneered in her heart, but she still kept a polite smile on her face: "Chief Chen, you really understand us. It's just that the cost of the wine and dishes is here, and we can't afford to give up so much at once.
How about giving us a 20% discount on this meal? This will express our gratitude for pointing out the problem and also allow us to maintain a basic livelihood.”
The middle-aged man's face turned ugly when he heard this. He took a step forward, stiffened his neck, and shouted, "80% discount? You're still bargaining with me? If your hygiene problems get out, no one will dare to come to eat here, not to mention 80% discount, even if you pay them! I'm still willing to pay these two dollars, which is already a huge honor for you!"
The middle-aged and elderly woman next to them also stood up, put her hands on her hips, and joined in with a shrill voice: "That's right, my nephew is helping you, don't be ungrateful! If it weren't for the fact that everyone is having a hard time today, I don't know how much you would be fined for your hygiene situation!"
At this time, the diners around cast curious glances and started whispering to each other.
Lin Yuexi knew that if the stalemate continued, it would affect the restaurant's reputation.
Her mind was working rapidly, and suddenly an idea came to her mind. She said loudly: "Since Section Chief Chen is so concerned about the hygiene of our store, we will definitely cooperate with him.
How about this? To thank Section Chief Chen for his attention and to reassure everyone, we will invite a customer as enthusiastic as Section Chief Chen every day starting tomorrow to supervise the entire process of our food procurement and kitchen preparation. What do you think? "
