Chapter 547 Silver
When he ate, he only had a small taste of each dish, and mainly drank wine. The waiter looked after him from a distance, but when he saw that the dishes on the table were almost untouched, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. After thinking about it, he went to the back hall. After a while, he brought back a plate of golden crabs, brought it to Zhang Wen's table and said, "Sir, is it not to your taste?" ? I took the initiative and served you a plate of crabs. You can try them. They are very fresh and delicious."
Zhang was afraid that he didn't pay attention to the crabs, so he turned his head to look at the boy. The boy was unsure and asked in a low voice: "Is it not to your taste? I will change it now." He wanted to carry the crab.
Zhang Ain smiled and said: "Get a big food box and put all these dishes on it. There is still more than half a jar of wine, so put it together."
The waiter responded and ran to the counter to ask for a food box. When he came back, he was busy for a while. While putting away the dishes, he asked: "Where do you live, sir? I will send it to you. I will take the dishes back just in time to save you from having to make another trip." "
Zhang feared and said, "I don't want it. If you don't mind it, just take it home and eat it."
The boy was stunned and couldn't figure out what the guest in front of him wanted to do. This man spent ingots of gold to buy a table of dishes and then gave them away? Still a complete stranger. Just when he was about to ask again, Zhang Ain stood up and said, "Let's go." As for how the waiter handled the dishes, he didn't care at all.
After getting along with each other for a while, he liked this young man very much. People who know how to consider others are mostly kind people.
Seeing Zhang Ain walking out, the boy hurriedly packed up the food and wine, and chased him out with a food box: "Sir, where do you live? I'll send it to you." Zhang Ain smiled and took a few steps forward. When he was approaching the house, he stopped and said, "If you don't dislike it, keep it. If you dislike it, throw it away." The boy took out four more silver coins and said, "Your money."
Zhang Jing said: "It's yours." He turned around and walked away.
The boy was left alone. He looked back at the restaurant, turned around and ran into the house. As soon as he entered the door, he greeted her: "Mom, I'm back with food."
A woman in her thirties walked out of the east wing. Her face was still young, but her skin was a little dark, and her hands were a little rough. She said: "How many times will I teach you how to remember? No matter how delicious the food left by others is, we will Don’t eat either. You must have integrity as a human being.”
The waiter argued: "It's not leftovers, it's what the customer ordered for me."
"What? Is there such a good thing? Come, let me see how delicious it is?" The door curtain of the west wing opened, and a woman walked out. She was about the same age as the woman just now, and her appearance was prettier, but there was a Taoist priest slanting on her face. Long scar.
There was a stone table in the courtyard, and the waiter put the food on it one by one. The two women looked at each dish carefully. It seemed that it was really not leftovers, especially the golden crab, which was plump and covered with golden sauce. , the whole dish is like one piece, and if you move the chopsticks, you can see the defects. The woman who came out first asked: "Is this really for you?"
The young man thanked me and said to himself: "I'm not lying anyway, it's all my favorite dishes that I ordered."
At this time, another woman walked out of the east room. She was a little older, in her forties, wearing coarse clothes. She looked at the dishes on the table, then at the waiter, and said in a deep voice: "Tell me, what's going on?"
The boy repeated what he just said. The middle-aged woman obviously didn't believe it and said loudly: "Are you still talking nonsense?"
"Mom! Why don't you believe me?" the boy retorted.
"Believe you? How can I trust you like this? And your brother? It's not over until you two piss me off, right? How many times have I told you that people must be ambitious and not lie! Can't remember?" His mother? very angry.
The waiter whispered: "I'm not lying. I met a kind person. He told me to order whatever I wanted to eat. After the food was served, he just used his chopsticks for each dish, and then asked me to pack the food box and said if If I don’t dislike it, I’ll take it back to eat. If I don’t, I’ll throw it away. I think these dishes are not leftovers or stolen. They were given to me by the guests, so I took them back. I really didn’t lie.”
His mother looked at her son carefully and judged that he was telling the truth. She said softly: "Mother blamed you wrongly. Take it out and eat it."
The waiter shook his head: "I have to go back, Er Niang and San Niang, please get the plates and put the dishes there. I have to send the plates and food boxes back to the store."
The second mother and the third mother turned around and entered the kitchen. The third mother, the beautiful woman with the scar on her face, smiled and said, "Keep it until you come back to eat." The boy said, "No need." He took out the silver from his arms and A large ingot of silver, at least forty taels. As soon as my mother saw the silver, her face changed color and she asked loudly: "You said you weren't lying? Where did the silver come from?"
"The guest rewarded me," the boy said.
"Nonsense! Who rewards you with more than forty taels of silver? Who did you steal? Send it back quickly." My mother was very angry.
The boy felt aggrieved: "I didn't steal it!"
The second mother and the third mother took out the plates. Seeing this, the second mother said to the forty-year-old woman: "Sister, tell me carefully." Then she asked the boy: "Tell the truth, was it stolen?"
Sanniang was pouring the plates and talking at the same time: "Xiao Zhi, you are not young anymore. Tell Sanniang the truth. It doesn't matter if you steal money, you can't tell lies. If you are a man, you must dare to act."
Xiaozhi became unhappy and said angrily: "I didn't steal! Why don't you believe me?" He went over to pack the food boxes, put the plates and bowls from the restaurant, and ran out of the door.
There were three women left, a table of dishes, and four large ingots of silver. The second mother hesitated and said, "Maybe the guest really rewarded him?" The aunt said angrily, "You will reward him with forty taels of silver? Wait until you come back in the evening to deal with him."
At this time, a head emerged from the west wing, and his mouth watered when he saw a table of dishes: "So much delicious food." The aunt scolded: "Go on your knees!" The young man pouted and retracted into the room.
Zhang was afraid of listening to all the noise in the courtyard. With his cultivation level, what could he not want to hear? But he didn't come to help the boy explain. He believed that he was a weak god and was worried about causing harm to Xiaozhi's family, so he just listened and did nothing.
In the afternoon, I still wandered on the street, thinking about how to help this family. I went back to the restaurant in the evening, but I didn't expect that something would happen with such little effort.
Zhang was afraid that the way he prepared the meal and the ingot of gold he brought out made the restaurant boss covet him. Later, when he saw that the silver had returned to Xiaozhi, and was taken home by him, greed came to his mind and said that the forty taels of silver was a wine account. , it was given to the restaurant by the guest and asked Xiaozhi to return it. Of course Xiaozhi refused, so he was tied up by his boss and threatened to hand it over to the Yamen if he didn't pay back the money. He also found someone to notify his family.
Forty taels of silver, more or less, was not something ordinary people could earn in a year. After receiving the news, the woman hurriedly brought the money to redeem the man, paid the money to get her son back, and kept scolding him on the way back, saying that he shouldn't steal other people's money.
Zhang Awei came back for dinner and asked the waiter: "Where is the child at noon?" The waiter said: "He asked for leave. Just tell me what you want to eat. I will make sure you are satisfied." The hotel owner recognized Zhang Awei. This guy was wearing a black robe and wanted to It was difficult not to recognize him, but he knew he was a high-profile guest, so he told the waiter to take good care of him.
When Zhang Wen heard this, he asked for leave? Just go to Xiaozhi's house to see what happened. If you can help, I must help.
