Chapter 354: Compensation for Losses
Dongzi yelled angrily: "Please speak louder, I can't hear you clearly!"
"I didn't do anything else, just added some chili pepper to the crayfish pot, and I didn't do anything either. I thought the chili peppers were so spicy! I just had good intentions. Manager Su wouldn't blame me for this."
"I see you are not crying even after seeing the coffin, but you are still thinking of making up lies for yourself at this time? Do you think that this method can offset what you have done?"
Xu Wanning's voice came from behind.
She was holding a plate in her hand, which was full of chili peppers. "That's what you said. How many chili peppers did you add? If it was really just a few, I would still believe that you did it because of your own taste." It makes the taste stronger, but these peppers are at least half a catty, right? How big is my pot? "
"Besides, the variety of peppers is not like those sold in the market. You can't get it by yourself. Aren’t you going to tell the truth?”
Xu Wanning has seen this kind of pepper several times in later generations.
It is a type of chili pepper with the title of extremely spicy and only exists in the Yunnan-Guizhou region.
For those who are good at eating spicy food, they can barely eat half of this kind of pepper. Even those who can eat spicy food will feel burning pain in their stomach after eating the whole one.
Although Mao Qiangjun put the chili peppers into the pot and the spiciness of the chili peppers would dissipate a bit after cooking, it would still be outrageously spicy.
This method is indeed not something that the owner of the opposite restaurant can do.
And this dirty trick is very similar to that of a close friend she once had.
But if you want to confirm whether it is Li Qianqian, you have to let Mao Qiangjun tell the truth.
Fortunately, Mao Qiangjun's psychological quality was not strong, Xu Wanning just spoke in a stronger tone, and he quickly made the move.
"A few days ago, my family and I were sitting at the door of the courtyard enjoying the cool air. When I mentioned my job in the restaurant, I complained a few words, saying that I couldn't get my turn to do the easier jobs of crayfish and braising. I had to work every day. I had to cook, and I could barely move my arms. But a little girl heard me and said she could help me. "
So she gave me these peppers. She said they were brought from other places. The taste is much stronger than that of the chili peppers sold on the market. If I really want to change the current situation, I will add the chili pepper to the crayfish and stew pot. This will change the taste of the crayfish and stew. "It has to be delicious."
"In this way, we can attract more customers and earn more money for you, little boss. When you are in a better mood, maybe you can let me and Lao Zhang Lao Yang take turns. ."
Xu Wanning carefully discerned the true content of Mao Qiangjun's words.
His words definitely contained elements of lies, but overall, they were not very different from reality.
Xu Wanning guessed that the so-called young girl who gave Mao Qiangjun pepper was undoubtedly Li Qianqian.
In order to ensure that she had not wronged anyone, she asked Dongzi to bring paper and pen and drew a portrait of Li Qianqian on the spot.
Although it is just a simple sketch drawn with a few strokes, it captures eight or nine points of Li Qianqian's charm.
"Is the girl who gave you the pepper the girl in the portrait?"
Mao Qiangjun glanced at it and immediately shook his head: "I am old and have a bad memory, and my mother-in-law was sitting right in front of me at the time. , I don’t dare to look at that little girl too much, I really can’t recognize her.”
“I remember, it’s her!” Mao Qiangjun’s son Xiaomao said with great certainty: “She also has a mole on her eyebrows. , I won't admit it! But there is a long scar from the corner of his right eye to the corner of his mouth, and the scar is still pink, which is not in your portrait."
Xu Wanning's painting is naturally the Li Qianqian in his memory, at least up to Li Qianqian. In the small dark room with Gu Jun, her face was smooth, with nothing extra except the mole.
As for the scar that Xiao Mao mentioned, if nothing unexpected happened, it should have been an injury sustained in the small dark room.
"That's right." Xu Wanning threw the portrait into the stove, and it quickly burned to ashes.
"Chef Mao, when we first found out about your disloyalty, Manager Su and I gave you a chance, but we didn't expect you to dare to leak the signboard behind our backs. It seems that our restaurant can't keep you. Calculate the losses of the restaurant, and after you pay the compensation, take your son and leave."
Although Xiao Mao seems to be an honest and silly person, Xu Wan would rather not gamble.
After all, she was in the catering business. If someone really had a wrong idea and tampered with the food, which affected the health of the diners who came to dine, she might not be able to make up for it by investing all her savings.
If it's more serious, she, the restaurant owner, might also be locked up in a dark room.
"Little boss, what losses do I need to make up for?"
"I won't pursue you for stealing the signature water before, but because of your own selfishness, you added too much chili pepper to the crayfish pot. So a lot of kilograms of crayfish were wasted. You have to make up for this loss yourself, right?”
“Also, we still sold a lot today and the day before yesterday. New customers may think that our signature spicy crayfish is not famous, which will cause dissatisfaction. If you have a good impression, you will not visit us again in the future. And regular customers may mistakenly think that our restaurant has been open for a long time and start to care about the taste of the food. Maybe they will not come back to the restaurant in the future.”
“From this aspect alone, the restaurant is very good. How many customers will be lost, and the benefits these customers can bring are immeasurable. Don’t you plan to make up for this? "
"I...I..."
Mao Qiangjun said "I" for a long time, but couldn't say anything. A complete sentence.
He thought that as long as he softened his attitude, he could give up Xu Wanning's idea of asking him to compensate.
Unexpectedly, Manager Li had already walked over with the account book.
"I did the math and found that the loss caused by Comrade Mao Qiangjun was at least sixty-three yuan. Considering the friendship we have been together for so long, I will give you a zero, so that's sixty-five yuan.
"Okay? You've obviously added too much!"
Cuifen closed the account and said expressionlessly: "Didn't I say that the loss is at least sixty-three yuan? You have to estimate it clearly. " If so, I can check the account more carefully and give you a more accurate amount, but don’t worry, the amount of loss can only be higher or lower.”
“No, no, I’ll give it,” Mao Qiangjun said through gritted teeth. Come on, my salary and benefits for this month have not been settled yet. Although I have indeed done something sorry for the restaurant, I must give you what I deserve!"
"No problem."
