Siheyuan: A blessed place to start

"Wang Juan, before the food is served, go and tell us the price!"

Wang Juan was stunned for a moment, then she remembered the issue of price.

With a questioning look in his eyes, he walked towards the dining table and said, "Please wait a moment, the food will be ready soon!"

"Our table ordered four dishes, the total cost is fifteen dollars and fifty cents!"

Upon hearing the price, Xu Damao was the first to spit out the tea. The tea that he had just drunk suddenly lost its fragrance and gushed out like a fountain.

"How much? Fifteen dollars? One meal is worth half a month's salary?"

Yan Fugui was also panicked, but Lao Jiang remained calm.

After all, they heard the food here was not cheap the last time they came to the restaurant, and just the appearance alone showed that they couldn't afford it.

Liu Haizhong took a sip of tea with a grunt, his face a little stiff, and said, "You guys talk your own way and I'm listening."

"Um... the prices are clearly marked on the menu... If you think it's too expensive... how about we change the dishes?"

The waiter was also helpless. If the price was indeed high, it was clearly marked when ordering. Couldn’t the waiter see the big, bright words?

Now you think it's too expensive? Isn't this obviously looking for trouble?

Several people looked at Xu Damao awkwardly, and Xu Damao smiled awkwardly, "You are new here, right? Let me tell you, the people sitting in front of you are your manager's elders, our hospital's highly respected second uncle, and our third uncle who has taught and educated people and has many students all over the world!"

Xu Damao talked eloquently, without showing any inner turmoil at all.

The waiter looked embarrassed and at a loss.

Wang Shurong heard the conversation between several people in the back, and did not rush to ask the kitchen to stop cooking, but instead offered money to help out.

"Wang Juan, go ahead and do your work. Since you are the general manager's neighbor, you are an honored guest. I will entertain you personally."

When Wang Juan saw Wang Shurong coming, she retreated immediately. These people looked like smiling tigers, but they were not easy to deal with.

When Xu Damao saw Wang Shurong's attitude, he knew that he was the person in charge of the front office and immediately changed his attitude.

"We are all veterans in the hospital. We are very happy to know that Xiao Weiguo has opened a restaurant here. But it's almost dinner time and there are not many people here. We are all here to support him!"

"Since you're here to show your support, why are you still charging money?"

These words scared Wang Shurong so much that her heart started pounding. It was obvious that he was trying to dine and run.

However, the general manager had previously instructed that whenever anyone from their hospital came to eat, the dishes should be served on the table first, no matter how much they paid, and everything would be dealt with after he returned.

But there is one condition: we won’t release you unless you pay!

Want to eat and dine for free? Impossible!

Wang Shurong didn't understand at first, thinking how could such a person come to eat without paying? Today, she finally saw something new.

Make it sound like a legitimate thing to eat and dine.

However, following Xiao Weiguo's instructions, Wang Shurong did not say much, nor did she stop the kitchen from serving the dishes. Instead, she waited and saw what was happening. However, she also sent a quick kitchen helper to Shichahai to ask people.

Seeing Wang Shurong going to the kitchen, Liu Haizhong wiped the sweat from his forehead. Although it was the first time for him to eat and drink for free, if it was someone else, Liu Haizhong would not be so nervous.

You have to know that this is Xiao Weiguo's restaurant. We have all seen how cruel Xiao Weiguo was in the past.

Ever since Lao Yi went in, Xiao Weiguo has been in semi-retirement in the courtyard and has not been involved in the disputes there, but that doesn't mean he has become weaker.

On the contrary, they are strong and don't want to waste time on getting angry with these young guys. Liu Haizhong understands this, so how could Yan Fugui not understand it?

But between taking advantage and morality, he decisively chose the former.

"Da Mao, my pockets are cleaner than my face. I'll pay for the meal later..." Liu Da Nao was very cautious. He could ask me out for dinner, but he didn't have a penny to pay for it.

Yan Fugui also nodded, "Well... I don't have enough money in my pocket... I still have more than half a month's salary to pay, and the money is too tight and it's all in your third aunt's hands. I don't have any!"

As he said this, Yan Fugui pushed his glasses. Actually, all of this was within Xu Damao's expectations, but he was trying to save face by pretending to be rich. He said shamelessly, "Hey, what's wrong with you two? When we came out of the courtyard, we agreed that each of us would pay a little. Otherwise, even if Xiao Weiguo gave us a 10% discount, we still wouldn't have enough money for a meal!"

Yan Fugui waved his hand and said, "Hey, I still have a few cents..."

Liu Haizhong also nodded silently, "At most one piece!"

When Xu Damao heard this, he thought, these two brothers are equally matched, and he wanted to leave them behind. However, for his own safety, Xu Damao reluctantly convinced himself to keep them to share a share.

"My dear gentlemen, when the food is served, let's eat it quickly, otherwise... otherwise the food will get cold!"

Xu Damao was about to say that he should slip away while Xiao Weiguo was away, but he stopped at the tip of his tongue.

Liu Haizhong nodded silently, but he was also afraid that Xiao Weiguo would come back and catch the three of them red-handed.

When I came out of the house just now, I was full of ambition. We went to attract customers to support your restaurant. What's wrong with eating and drinking for free?

But as soon as he entered the store, Liu Haizhong started to panic for some reason, fearing that he would be caught by Xiao Weiguo and would not be able to explain himself clearly.

However, Xiao Weiguo is not here today, and he doesn’t know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing. Liu Haizhong was so anxious that he broke out in cold sweat on his forehead.

Wang Shurong had to keep an eye on the kitchen and look out the restaurant entrance every once in a while. At this moment, she just hoped that the general manager would come back in a bit, otherwise the leader, the big donkey-faced guy, might do something immoral, and she couldn't make the decision!

Chef Wang in the kitchen had no idea what was going on in the front hall. He just thought that this customer was quite good at ordering. The four dishes included both meat and vegetarian dishes, and were very delicious. He put all his effort into stirring the wok in the kitchen, and about fifteen minutes later, the four dishes were ready.

The waiter brought all the dishes to the table, and several people became addicted just by smelling the food.

"I have to say, the cooking skills of this chef are absolutely amazing! The food is delicious and tasty, he is worthy of being a chef in a restaurant, he deserves it!"

Yan Fugui squinted his eyes and was dazzled by the fragrance, but he did not forget to praise it.

Xu Damao silently rolled up his sleeves, stood up, walked to the waiter and said a few words.

"Da Mao, come here quickly and eat quickly."

Liu Haizhong picked up his chopsticks and prepared to have a big meal, but Yan Fugui and Xu Damao didn't move their chopsticks yet, so he quickly asked him to come over to eat, and he ate first as a sign of respect.

After taking a bite of the delicious food, Liu Haizhong squinted his eyes, shook his head and sighed, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"Hmm... this tastes really good, much better than what Sha Zhu made!"

As he spoke, he reached his chopsticks into the plate again, took a big bite honestly, and put the full meal into his mouth.

On the other side, the waiter Xu Damao asked for oil paper. I was very surprised because only customers who pack up leftovers ask for this thing!

"Don't just stand there, help me get it!"

Seeing that Big Donkey Face was getting anxious, the waiter did not dare to delay and immediately went to the kitchen to get some oil paper.
