Chapter 106: Meeting an acquaintance
Song Liyun raised her eyebrows and looked at Han Ming. Han Ming had just gone to the counter to order more dishes and said that Song Zhenping and the others were in for a treat.
Han Ming was telling Song Liyun about the delicious food he had eaten on the grassland when the waiter came in and said there were no lamb chops. He was immediately puzzled and asked, "When I asked for more money to grill another plate, your shopkeeper had already written it down in the book.
They said they were going to harvest several sheep today and that they would have enough food to eat, so how come they are gone now?"
When the waiter heard him mention the shopkeeper, he immediately stammered, "The kitchen said they're out of food. They asked for a roast chicken!"
Song Liyun put down the chopsticks in her hand, frowned and said: "I like to eat your grilled lamb chops. If there are no lamb chops, then don't grill them. Return the money.
Alas, it’s a pity that those two farmers don’t have this blessing, but it helps me save money.”
The latter sentence was said to Han Ming.
The large plate on the table was about to be eaten up by the two of them. Now it couldn't be grilled anymore, so Song Zhenping and Xiao An couldn't eat it.
She wanted to buy some because she felt the cumin powder in the lamb chops had a special flavor.
If she had to spend money to buy a roast chicken, she would be willing to do so, but Song Zhenping was reluctant. He would initially say that the money for one roast chicken was enough to buy three large plates of chicken.
Seeing that Song Liyun was a little unhappy but not angry, the waiter had been trying to test her, but now he was certain: they were indeed two country bumpkins who had never eaten roasted lamb.
His voice got louder: "Miss, Tianxianglou doesn't have the policy of returning money! The chicken is already on the roasting rack."
I paid for the grilled lamb chops and they refused to refund me, but I was forced to give me a grilled chicken!
Is this a forced sale?
Is this the layout of Tianxiang Tower, the most famous building in Qili County?
Song Liyun didn't say anything. Han Ming slammed his chopsticks on the table and said, "What do you mean? We don't want the roast chicken. The dishes haven't even been served yet. Where did the rule come from that says you can't refund the money?"
The waiter twisted his mouth and said, "Go out and ask around. When did we in Tianxianglou ask for refunds for dishes ordered?"
Han Ming was so angry that he stood up and said, "We didn't eat it, so we have to return it."
"That's not the rule at Tianxianglou!" The waiter refused to budge. "Sir, our roast chicken is also famous. It's a rare opportunity for you to come here, so you can try more and save money at the same time."
He emphasized the word "saving money", which was exactly in line with what Song Liyun said just now.
Song Liyun raised her eyebrows. She had just said it in self-deprecating tone, but this guy took it seriously.
Han Ming was furious and wanted to argue, but Song Liyun waved her hand to stop him and said to the waiter calmly, "Is there no rule in Tianxianglou that refunds are given to customers?"
"Yes, we have been doing this for decades. If you can't return the money, you can keep it in the account and save it for next time." The waiter was a little proud. Only Tianxianglou dared to keep customers like this.
"Then let me ask you, how many years has Tianxianglou had the rule of changing customers' dishes at will?" Song Liyun's voice suddenly turned cold, and she stared at the waiter coldly.
This guy is quite good at changing the concept. He didn't talk about changing the dishes, but only about refunding the money, and also abolished the decades-old rules of Tianxianglou.
"We, I..." The waiter was speechless for a moment. It was not the rule of Tianxianglou to change the dishes ordered by the customers at will, and he didn't dare to admit it.
Song Liyun glanced at the waiter, stood up and walked out: "Pay the bill for the dishes here, don't take the roast chicken or roast lamb, let's go!"
How could a mere fellow have such courage?
Either Tianxianglou has the habit of bullying customers because of its size, or the dishes I ordered were secretly replaced by the waiters and they made some profit from it.
Tianxianglou is not her own, and Song Liyun has no intention of managing business for others.
"Hey! Hey! Girl, I'm just a servant, please don't make things difficult for me.
If I return the food, the building will fine me my monthly salary, and I have a wife and children to support."
When the guy saw that Song Liyun was really about to leave, he quickly blocked the door and cried out loudly, as if Song Liyun was bullying him.
Seeing that this guy was still trying to be clever, Song Liyun became really annoyed and pushed him away: "I don't want to eat, I don't want it, I don't want to pay, don't you understand?"
I am here to have a happy meal, not to be a living Bodhisattva and save all living beings.
The only reason I didn't smash the store was because I wasn't familiar with the place.
When the waiter saw Song Liyun had already gone downstairs, he suddenly panicked and quickly went into the private room next door.
The private room was located on the second floor of Tianxiang Tower. Song Liyun and the others had just turned the corner and reached the stairs when they heard footsteps from behind, followed by a loud shout: "Two of you in front, stop right there! If you dare to move again, the Fourth Master will break your legs."
The entrance to the building was right in front of her. If Song Liyun wanted to leave, she could go down directly, but... she really wanted to see what this person who was so arrogant as to snatch food from her and now wanted to break her legs looked like.
She stopped and turned around with a cold face.
Three people came out of the private room next door. The leader was a man who looked to be in his thirties or forties.
At this time, his face was drunk and red like a cooked shrimp, and the oily sweat on the tip of his nose and the corners of his forehead were shining in the candlelight.
The man beat Song Liyun up and down again, narrowed his eyes and smiled evilly, then turned to look at Han Ming.
Suddenly his eyes widened and he burst into laughter: "I was wondering who was so disrespectful, it turned out to be Han Dasha.
When did you come to Qili County? Why didn’t you tell me so that I could have a drink with you?
Oh, he has tricked another woman into his hand. Now that he is rich, he wants to come to Tianxianglou to eat roast lamb!"
He staggered past Song Liyun, put his hand on Han Ming's shoulder, and smiled obscenely.
Han Ming pushed the arm away and said in a deep voice, "Min Gande, this is my current boss, don't talk nonsense."
"Boss?"
Min Gande staggered, his voice elongated strangely, and he looked at Song Liyun carefully again.
She was wearing a light blue, half-worn, narrow-sleeved long jacket, a cloth of the same color tied tightly around her waist, and light blue cotton trousers tucked into her leather boots, which made her waist look slender and her movements agile.
Song Liyun has been eating well and sleeping well in the past two months, and the unhealthy sallowness on her face has faded.
The young girl's skin was smooth and sparkling, and she was full of life. Even with her face bare and only a wooden hairpin in her hair, she was still very charming.
And those eyes without any fear were staring at him stubbornly, looking very charming.
Min Gande raised his eyebrows and burst into laughter. "Well, what a pretty hostess, Han Dasha. It's rare for us to meet each other, so please come in for a drink before you leave. Didn't you want to eat grilled lamb chops just now? Come on, I'll treat you."
As he said this, he was about to pull Han Ming away.
Song Liyun stood quietly by and took in everything that was happening in the box.
There were three other people sitting in the box, all with unfriendly eyes, and they were definitely not good people.
Seeing Min Gande trying to pull Han Ming, his heart tightened. He knew he couldn't let him get entangled with him, so he immediately said, "Uncle, we have something to do and can't drink. Please forgive us. Han Ming, let's go."
Hearing Song Liyun's words, the two people beside Min Gande stopped her in her tracks and said, "No one dares to refuse when Fourth Master Min invites people to drink.
Young lady, if you know what's good for you, come in and have a few drinks with us. For Brother Han's sake, we will never make things difficult for you.
It’s not difficult. What are you doing now?
What they said is not as convincing as "a dog says it doesn't eat shit".
Song Liyun's face suddenly turned cold.
