Chapter 797: 2 taels of silver
The store owner saw that they were dressed gorgeously, with horses and a carriage outside. Naturally, he knew that they were not ordinary people, so he greeted them with hard work.
When the dishes were about to be served, the boy at the next table craned his neck and looked at the dishes. He saw that their spicy beef plate was filled with beef. They also ordered the same dishes, but obviously, they have much less. The boy couldn’t help but asked his father across the table: “Father, why do they have more spicy beef than us? The bowl of Yangchun noodles is also bigger than ours, and there seems to be fuzhu in their spicy soup. Why don’t we have it?”
His father stopped eating noodles, turned his head and took a glance, then touched the boy’s head, and said: “You have to study hard. When you become famous, you come here and eat noodles in an official uniform. The boss will definitely give you more.”
Jin Shiwei just took a sip of the spicy soup. When he heard this, he spewed it out, choked, and coughed for a long time. The spicy soup burned his throat.
The shop owner walked away with an embarrassed look on the face and acted as if he didn’t hear anything.
Bai Zhi smiled and said, “That’s right, it’s the truth!”
Bai Zhi’s words made the shop owner embarrassed. He quietly returned to the back kitchen. Unless someone asked him to check out, he didn’t come out.
The spicy soup was really delicious, better than the ones she had eaten before. The taste of the beef was also good. They should have spent a lot of time to cook it.
The portion was too much to finish. Bai Zhi asked the store to pack the remaining beef, and then packed three bowls of spicy soup to give them to her grandfather and two mothers.
The shop owner was very surprised. A noble young lady, wearing a beautiful dress would pack the rest after eating? Doesn’t she lose her noble dignity?
“You want to pack them?” the shop owner asked.
Bai Zhi nodded her head: “Of course, I am. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be too wasteful? And this is what we have eaten, it’s not good to let others eat it.”
The shop owner nodded his head repeatedly: “Yes, yes, what the young lady said is right.”
Hearing this, the man sitting at the next table couldn’t help but raise his eyes and took a glance at Bai Zhi. Bai Zhi also happened to look at him. Their eyes met, but then looked away as if they didn’t see each other.
After the shop owner packed the remaining beef and packaged another three spicy soup, Bai Zhi looked up at the price list on the wall and said with a smile: “I almost forgot, the total is 2 taels of silver, here it is.” After she said those words, she took 2 taels of silver and handed them to the shop owner.
The shop owner was dumbfounded. According to the price written on the wall, it was indeed cost 2 taels of silver, but what he gave them was more than that, isn’t it?
However, he doesn’t dare to talk about it. He thought that people dressed like them would not care about money when they eat outside. And maybe if they were satisfied, they would give him at least 10 taels of silver.
Who would expect that were stingy guys?
Bai Zhi ignored the shop owner’s bitter face and turned to the little boy at the next table and said, “Little brother, you should remember that even if you become a high official in the future when you eat outside, you don’t need to give more money. In business, it should be fair. Ok?”
The little boy looked at his father, and when he saw his father nodded, he said: “I will remember.”
Bai Zhi touched his head, then turned and left.
When the carriage was far away, only by then the shop owner dared to say: “Don’t eat outside if you can’t afford it. You eat so much, but you only give a small amount of money.”
The man frowned upon hearing this, put his chopsticks down with a snap, and said to the shop owner: “Do you know why that girl only gave you 2 taels of silver? This is a lesson for you, but you still don’t realize it.”
