Chapter 144 Flesh Pain
Chapter 144 Flesh Pain
Li the butcher and others heard that the second brother asked them to sit and wait.
But they were all in tatters, and it was too embarrassing to actually sit down. So they stood there waiting with some restraint.
There are quite a lot of steamed buns, so they will definitely need to wait, so they try to stand in the corner to reduce their presence.
The waiter happily told the front desk about the needs of Li the Butcher and others.
Then the accountant came and started to calculate the accounts without even looking up, fiddling with his abacus beads.
After a while, he figured out the result. Then he picked up a piece of paper, wrote down the specific number with a brush, and handed it to the waiter.
The waiter was a waiter here, so he could recognize the characters. So he quickly ran to Li the butcher and the others and said happily:
"Sir, Sir! You mean to fill 40 water bags, and then 200 corn buns, and the rest should be brown rice buns, right?
I've just calculated that three taels of silver can buy about 2000 brown rice buns. The shopkeeper has already given the order, so you need to wait a moment."
The second brother explained the specific situation to Li the butcher and others.
"Okay, then let's do as you say. But you have to hurry up, because the people in our village are waiting. Do you have any steamed buns ready? If you do, it would be the best.
After hearing this, Li the butcher thought that there were too many steamed buns. If they were all steamed on the spot, it would definitely take time. It would be better if they were ready-made.
After hearing this, the second brother's eyes rolled around. He thought for a moment, then smiled and said:
"Sir, don't worry, because you asked for more steamed buns. We have some freshly steamed buns, but we don't have enough.
The shopkeeper has given the order and will steam the steamed buns for you right away. Our steamed buns will be ready very quickly.
You really don't have to worry too much, just take a break and it will be ready soon."
The waiter had an idea and said something that was half true and half false.
The steamed buns are definitely not all freshly steamed. The restaurant business has been bad recently, and some of the steamed buns were not sold out, but he certainly couldn't say that.
Shi Lei and the others nodded slightly after hearing this. He handed the bulging purse to the waiter with some reluctance.
The purse was basically filled with copper coins, which were all collected from various sources in their village.
"Okay, sir, please take a rest! I have already received your money and I will count it right away.
If you are worried, you can find someone to follow me and supervise us to count together. "
When the second brother saw the bulging purse, his eyes sparkled. Then he happily took the purse with both hands.
Feeling the weight in my hands, I was even happier, because this was all money.
Then he turned around, took the purse to the front desk, and started counting with the person at the front desk.
After counting for a long time, he finally found out that it was exactly three taels of silver, neither more nor less.
Then he came back and returned the purse to Shi Lei and the others.
Shi Lei took the purse from the waiter. He felt bad when he saw the purse, which had been bulging just now, suddenly become so flat.
Although the money was not all his, it was actually spent. How long would it take for farmers like them to farm to earn so much money?
He didn't even dare to think about it, but ended up spending all his money, which hurt him deeply.
But there is no way, this is not just his money, so he has to accept the reality.
At this time, more and more people started to eat in the restaurant. The whole restaurant was noisy and lively.
Those who can eat in a restaurant, even if they are not nobles, are definitely not poor.
It can be seen that this restaurant is one of the better ones in this town.
Shi Lei and his friends believed that they would not be cheated. After all, they knew how much the food cost. So they waited patiently.
People were coming in and out of the restaurant. They were obviously dressed better. There were only about ten people including Li the Butcher in the restaurant.
They were wearing tattered and dirty clothes. Everyone who passed by them would look at them with suspicion.
Or they looked at them with curious eyes, but fortunately no one paid too much attention to it.
Why is there such a shabby person standing in the restaurant?
Since everyone came here to eat, no one paid too much attention to it.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the waiter came towards Li the Butcher and his companions, carrying more than a dozen things wrapped in oil paper.
When Li the butcher saw this, he immediately went forward to meet them.
Then with a smile on his face he asked, "These are all ours, right? Are they ready? They are all here, right?"
Butcher Li saw that the other two, Xiao Er, had their water bags hanging all over their hands and bodies. He guessed that these things must be theirs.
But there was still one thing, so I asked out of uncertainty.
The waiter put all the things on an empty table next to him. He then wiped the sweat off his forehead with a handkerchief and said, panting:
"Yes, sir, these are the things you just ordered. Please check if you need them.
All the steamed buns are here, and the water bags are filled with water.
Please check it first. If there is no problem, you can take it away. "
The waiter, in line with the restaurant's attitude of not being responsible after the goods leave, reminded Li the butcher to check them before leaving, in order to avoid any problems later and cause a lot of trouble.
The waiter's words also reminded Li the Butcher and others, and they felt that they should indeed check it out.
So they stepped forward and opened the oil paper package containing the steamed buns, and immediately a wave of hot air came out.
There were hot steamed buns in front of them. Although they were made of brown rice, the fragrance still rushed to their noses.
Li the butcher and the others swallowed hard, trying to suppress the urge to eat, and then counted the buns seriously.
The waiter saw that they were really counting the buns, and he immediately felt a little contemptuous. He was just being polite, but they really took it seriously.
Who would really count? Anyway, it was his first time encountering this.
Their restaurant is not the kind that would cheat its customers. On the contrary, what they did would make people feel that the restaurant would really cheat people.
But he decided to let them do what they wanted, so he stayed aside and did not go forward, just waiting for them to count and take the things away.
