The harvest from the stall on the fourth day was not small. Cheng Yunyu calculated that their net profit from this trip was more than 350 yuan. She was even more determined to quit her job and set up a stall with him.
Regarding her departure, the proprietress of the food stall agreed readily. Her friend just wanted to send someone in to fill the vacancy, but today was too busy and the private rooms were all booked. She asked Cheng Yunyu to finish the last day of work and then come back in a few days. Settlement of wages.
Because it is Friday, school ends early. If you want to set up a stall, you have to go there at three o'clock. Since students are all rushing home, the number of people buying noodle soup will be greatly reduced.
It rained in the morning, so Ji Huai didn't buy many ingredients. He mainly wanted to observe the flow of people nearby on weekends. If it wasn't good, they might have to change their stall during the holiday.
It’s not too early to set up the stall tonight. Residents nearby come here to have dinner, and there is no traffic until after ten o’clock. He has everything prepared and even slept.
It was getting dark, so he started cooking. He chopped the fresh beef he bought into meat cubes, stir-fried the green peppers, added the sauce, and a green pepper beef rice bowl was ready.
He brought a few lunch boxes, started loading rice and vegetables, carried them downstairs, and drove to the food stall to wait for Cheng Yunyu to get off work.
Cheng Yunyu was serving a small private room today. The other party asked for a bottle of white wine. She went out to get the wine from the front desk. The waiter outside saw that she had added several dishes to her private room. There were three grown men inside and asked quietly: "Do you have any leftovers in the private room?" Is there a lot of food?”
They don't have dinner until they get off work, and the kitchen cooks three dishes, three vegetarian and one meat, and seven or eight people, sometimes ten, eat around it.
The boss is too stingy and the food is simply not enough, so when the waiter clears the table, he will secretly hide the dishes that have not been touched by the customers and the dishes that have not been packed until dinner.
When a large group of men come to eat and drink, they usually don't pack anything. When men bring beautiful women, they don't pack anything. Every little leftover is packed. Most of the time it's a family dinner.
Cheng Yunyu was waiting for the front desk to write an order and replied: "I didn't look carefully. I'll look at it later."
She never touched these dishes. In the past, when Ji Huai was in the kitchen, he would leave some food for her, open the back door for her, or buy something to eat when they returned from get off work.
Ji Huai also sent her a message just now, saying that he had cooked for her and that after the guests in the private room left, she could get off work after cleaning.
She originally thought she could leave long ago, but she ordered another bottle of wine from this private room. Although there was a four-dollar rebate for the wine, she now wanted to go back and help him set up a stall.
Cheng Yunyu took the wine in, opened it, and poured it for several people. They continued to toast, and everyone's face was red from drinking.
She stood aside and said nothing. During this period, she helped several people pour wine twice, and most of the bottle of white wine was gone.
"How much does this meal cost?" The man closest to her turned his head and asked her.
"I'll go ask." Cheng Yunyu said and walked out.
The bill was written by hand, and several additional dishes were added in the middle. She had to go to the cashier to let the other person calculate it.
Cheng Yunyu went to the front desk and came back with the bill: "The total is four hundred and fifty-seven."
The man took out his wallet, counted five hundred bills, and handed them to her.
"I'll charge you five hundred, and I'll look for the money." Cheng Yunyu counted a few more red banknotes in front of the man, took the money and walked out. On the way out, she secretly glanced at her phone.
Ji Huai didn't send her a message, so he probably hasn't arrived yet.
front desk.
Cheng Yunyu handed over five red banknotes: "Check out the Four Seasons Box."
The cashier took the red banknotes and put them in the money counter. After a few "swishes, swishes, swipes," they all passed. Then, she placed them again, and there was another "swipe, swipe, swipe," sound. She put the forty-three yuan Pass it to Cheng Yunyu.
Cheng Yunyu took the money and invoice and walked into the private room again. When she handed the money to the man, she saw that there was a lot of food left and asked proactively: "Do you want to pack the food?"
"No need." The other party waved his hand, put the money in his wallet, and put his wallet in his pocket. He looked at his drunk companion opposite and said, "Old Xu, are you okay? Are you drunk?"
"Who said I was drunk? Fill me up with wine!" the man named Lao Xu scolded, pointing to the wine glass on the table.
"Go, go and pour it for him." The man looked at Cheng Yunyu and said.
Cheng Yunyu looked at the other man smelling of alcohol and talking nonsense, and hesitated for a moment. The other man also began to urge her. She thought it was her last day at work, so she walked over bravely.
She walked to the table, picked up the wine and poured it into the cup. Lao Xu suddenly approached her and his eyes narrowed: "Little sister, how old are you this year?"
"Don't scare people." The other two laughed without stopping at all.
"Are you scared? Brother, do I look like a bad person? I am a good person and I love others." As he spoke, Lao Xu reached out to grab Cheng Yunyu's hand. She was startled, put down her wine glass and hid behind .
"Why are you running?" The man who was paying the bill said to her, "He won't do anything to you. Go ahead and fill up the wine. How could he bully such a beautiful little sister?"
Cheng Yunyu encountered this situation for the first time and didn't know what to do.
"Hurry up and go." The other party urged again, half threatening, "If you don't stop it, I'll ask your manager to replace it. Your service attitude is not good."
Hearing this, she struggled in her eyes and looked at the fat face. He leaned back and seemed to be at ease. She moved her steps and walked back to the dining table.
She picked up the bottle of wine again and quickly poured it into the cup. Before the wine was poured, Lao Xu suddenly reached out again. This time, she didn't avoid it and was grabbed by the corner of her clothes.
Cheng Yunyu, who was young after all, turned pale with fright and struggled to get away. The two men were still yelling, "Tell him to let him go. He is drunk and has no bad intentions. Please talk to him."
Her mind was blank and she was at a loss. She really thought that the other party was acting drunk. Just as she was about to speak, the door that had been ajar was suddenly pushed open, and Ji Huai's figure appeared in front of her.
With a sullen face and furious eyes, he stepped forward and grabbed her, directly leading the old man up and saying coldly: "You are pretending to be drunk and want to eat tofu, right? Let me see if you are really drunk or pretending to be drunk!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he dragged the person aside, waved his hand and punched him hard.
"Who are you? What are you doing?" The other two people also calmed down, stood up suddenly, and stepped forward to stop him.
Ji Huai sneered and didn't take the two of them seriously at all. They were all fat and bloated from drinking. He pushed the man in front of him back hard, causing him to fall upside down.
When the foreman and manager arrived, a pig-killing cry was heard in the private room. Ji Huai removed the arm of the old man who wanted to take advantage of Cheng Yunyu. He seemed to feel puzzled and stepped forward and kicked him hard several times.
"Call the police, call the police right away!" The old man checking out didn't even pretend to be drunk, he was howling like a ghost.
"Report!" Ji Huai's face was dark. When he saw those faces, the fire in his heart rushed to his face, and the veins on his forehead popped out. He picked up the wine glass on the table and threw it at him fiercely. The bottle passed by the opponent's head. It passed by, smashed into the wall, and shattered into pieces. Seeing that the old man was almost scared to death, he roared again, "Report it, let the Discipline Inspection Commission come to investigate. Some people take advantage of their current ability and take it." If you eat and drink with public funds, your hands and feet will become unclean, right?"
This kind of old man was incompetent when he was young, but as he got older, he became a bit human, and began to behave badly. He really regarded himself as a superior person and played with others at will.
Upon hearing this, several people's expressions suddenly changed and they became silent.
At present, domestic investigations are not strict and public funds are misused. If they are investigated for this matter, they are not of high status and will be more frightened than anyone else.
There were still customers outside who were craning their necks to watch the excitement. The three of them and the restaurant were afraid that this would cause a big problem. The general manager quickly told Ji Huai not to get excited and calm down.
"Why are you so angry? Isn't she on her last day of work? Just pay her salary and leave now." Ji Huai took Cheng Yunyu's hand and walked outside.
"You beat someone up and made a scene like this, and you just left?" The general manager followed him out and said in a deep voice, "Do you really think of this place as your home?"
In his opinion, Ji Huai was just a gangster who really took himself seriously.
Ji Huai stopped, looked at him with raised eyelids, and smiled sarcastically: "Didn't they want to call the police? They didn't pursue it, so what are you going to pursue? You are so stupid, so you don't have to be scolded to have a long memory?"
The general manager looked at the private room. There was no movement at all, and his expression changed slightly.
He also knew very well what Ji Huai meant by what he just said. The old man checking out was not his first time here, he was their old customer.
The other party doesn't dare to cause trouble, most of them have a guilty conscience, do dirty things, and are afraid of causing trouble for themselves. The most important thing is that the money paid for the bill does not come from his own pocket, and he knows this better than anyone else.
Ji Huai also added: "There are so many customers in your store, but the quality is not very good. Maybe the ingredients are not fresh enough, and the customers you attract are not high-quality."
The general manager's face turned pale and he didn't say anything for a long time. He walked back to the private room. When he came out, he asked the financial officer to settle the accounts for Cheng Yunyu.
On top of half a month's salary, a hundred yuan was deducted for damage to public property because Ji Huai's smashed wine bottles needed to be cleaned up.
Cheng Yunyu signed, took the money on the spot, and left with Ji Huai.
She got on the tricycle and he drove forward. After walking for a long time, she was still worried: "They won't retaliate against us, right? That would be tragic."
Since she was a child, Cheng's mother has taught her not to cause trouble. Her family is also poor, so she is timid and dare not make trouble.
"They don't even have the guts to call the police, but do they still have the guts to retaliate?" Ji Huai said in a sarcastic tone, "They are more afraid of department investigation and fear of affecting their families than we are. Such people are the most cowardly and disgusting!"
Cheng Yunyu felt relieved after hearing what he said. She held two thousand yuan in her hand: "The general manager's head is smoking. I thought I wouldn't get the money."
Ji Huai turned around and said, "He has a very guilty conscience. You don't even look at that restaurant. Who are the people who come and what are the ingredients? They just talk about it. In fact, they are more afraid of trouble than us."
The live fish and shrimps fished out by the customers from the fish pond turned into frozen cheap dead fish and shrimps when they arrived in the kitchen. The ingredients placed on the table in the kitchen were surrounded by flies. They were not hygienic at all. I don’t know how many videos like this have been taken.
The most important point is that an anti-corruption storm is about to break out in China, and this store will be among the first to close down. They know exactly what kind of money they make.
If this becomes a big deal, things will get really interesting if we investigate again.
Some people take their wives today, their "girlfriends" tomorrow, and their "sisters" or "goddaughters" the day after tomorrow. He also worked in the store for a while and knows a lot about them.
Are you afraid of wearing shoes even if you are barefoot? If it shakes out, it won't be easy to handle.
Cheng Yunyu heard it half-understood, and she didn't think much about it. She smiled at him and said, "We are rich and can buy an electric car."
"Heartless, aren't you?" Ji Huai stopped the car and was waiting for the green light. He freed his hand and flicked her little head.
In the previous life, she suffered a big blow because of this incident, but now she seems to be fine, but she is still worried because of him.
"I won't be afraid as soon as you come here. I won't go to work there anymore. I'll stay with you." She circled his arm with her hand, leaned against him, and recalled the scene just now, "You are so cruel. , I was scared, but luckily you came."
"Are you cruel? I wish I could kick him to death." Ji Huai drove the car forward, "This kind of old man is the most disgusting."
"Yes, and Mr. Chen, I heard from Sister Hui that he brought a peripheral lady today, and his wife started from scratch with him. They just gave birth to their second child, and men become bad when they have money!" Cheng Yunyu said time, indignant.
After she finished speaking, when Ji Huai didn't speak for a long time, she turned to look at him and said, "Answer the conversation!"
Ji Huai: "What did you say?"
"Men become bad when they have money!" she repeated again.
"Maybe." He said.
"Hmph!" Cheng Yunyu's eyes widened angrily, "You agree, right? When you have money, will you do the same thing? We can only endure hardship together. When the time comes, I will turn into a yellow-faced woman, and you will find one, two, three, four, five A girlfriend."
Ji Huai looked in the rearview mirror, drove across the road, stopped the car and turned to look at her. Seeing her aggrieved face, he said seriously: "I don't have any money, are you worried now?"
Cheng Yunyu: "Are you rich now?"
"Maybe I will never have money in my life?" he said.
She felt that he was typing a riddle, so she turned around, grabbed his hand, and her eyes were red: "You think so too, I won't suffer with you anymore!"
Ji Huai could no longer hold back his laughter. He stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, and put his big hand on the back of her head. His tone was soft and solemn: "I can't bear to let you suffer, let alone lose. We will have money and live together. In good times, you don’t have to work so hard.”
The little girl was easily coaxed, and her heart felt like honey.
He let go of her slightly, saw a smile on her face, and gently tapped her forehead: "Are you willing to endure hardships with me now?"
"No!" She glared at him.
"I don't want you to suffer hardships with me. I'll pay you three times your salary." He said to her with a soft voice.
"Five times," she bargained.
"The total earnings are not that much." He smiled.
"Then give it all to me."
"Okay." Ji Huai kissed her and got out of the car to set up a stall.
…
On Friday night, there were still some students in the school, probably students who rented nearby to study on their own.
However, the flow of people is definitely not as good as when there is no holiday. Most of the people who come to buy are nearby residents or people passing by. The two of them sold about 30 bowls by 12:30.
"It's okay. I thought I could only sell a dozen bowls. It's better than expected. Some of them are repeat customers." Ji Huai was not disappointed. Thirty bowls could earn sixty or seventy yuan.
This is only the income from Friday and Saturday. By Sunday, their business will be much better, and the calculation is not bad.
"I ate two beef meals today and bought ribs. I spent almost the same amount, which is even." Cheng Yunyu was settling the accounts.
Ji Huai: "Yes, you are so good at eating. As long as you can earn enough to support you, that's fine."
"Who knows how to eat it?" She folded the table and ran over to settle the score with him. Ji Huai had long legs and dodged in a few seconds, playing hide and seek around the tricycle with her.
Cheng Yunyu couldn't catch anyone, and her voice was soft and coquettish. Ji Huai was a little disobedient. When she got in the car, she hugged him with both hands and was still making trouble.
"Let's drive." He laughed so hard that his shoulders shook slightly.
"Huh huh huh!" Her baby face was bulging, and she rested her chin on his shoulder. After a while, she rubbed her forehead against his, rubbing hard.
The corners of Ji Huai's mouth rose.
After he drove, she restrained herself. When she got home, she had to settle the accounts again. Ji Huai wanted to take a shower, but she held on to his pajamas and refused to let him go.
"What are you doing with my pajamas? You won't let me wear them?" Ji Huai didn't let go.
"I won't let you wear it!" She said and pulled harder on her end.
Ji Huai didn't argue and took two steps towards her. His words were full of meaning: "You really don't want to wear it? Then I won't wear it? I won't have to take it off for a while."
"Rogue!" she scolded.
"Let's go wash together and save water. We won't wear it for a while." He walked closer to her, and with a strong force on his hand, the pajamas were pulled over by him and thrown on the bed. He put his arm around her waist and led her Go to the bathroom.
"I don't." She struggled.
"Be obedient." He coaxed slowly, with strength in his hands. Her little strength was not worth mentioning.
"We have to get up early to move tomorrow, so don't go too far." She couldn't move her hands and began to kick around with her feet.
Ji Huai leaned over, picked her up from the waist, lowered his head and took a few pecks: "You are allowed to sleep a little longer. I have a sense of discretion in my heart and will compensate you. I will never lose anything."
