Even when he was travelling and eating outside, Zhang Zian would usually not take pictures of food. He would eat directly with his chopsticks. It was rare for him to eat something so expensive and cost-effective. He took out his mobile phone and planned to take a picture like others before eating. Otherwise, he would feel that he had lost more money.
However, when he heard the middle school girl’s words, he was so shocked that he almost threw his phone away.
Wasn’t this touching a sore spot? The waiter was about to explode because of his visit again, but she had to do this.
Sure enough, the waiter was stunned at first, and then he became angry. But what made Zhang Zian cry out that it was unfair was that the waiter did not get angry immediately. Instead, he patiently asked again,””Customer … Are you joking?”
Zhang Zian was willing to bet that if he had said that he didn’t have any money, the waiter would have picked up a stool and hit him. The world was unfair.
The middle school girl’s voice was very innocent.”I really forgot to bring money! I’ll pay on credit this time, and I’ll make up for it next time. “
The waiter pointed at her phone.”Can’t you pay with your phone?”
“You can’t pay with your phone.” She said.
“Our shop doesn’t accept credit. Can I borrow from a friend or parent?” The waiter’s voice clearly turned cold.”Besides, isn’t it common sense to check if you have the money to pay before entering the restaurant to eat?”
“Borrow money …” The middle school girl scratched her head in frustration.”I don’t know anyone who can lend me money …”
The waiter couldn’t hold back his anger any longer. Originally, when they saw this middle school girl enter the shop alone, both she and the shopkeeper were a little surprised and hesitated about whether they should accept this business.
From the girl’s clothes, appearance, and temperament, they all thought that she was probably a child from a rich family. It was fine if Yingluo said that they judged people by their appearance, but they actually didn’t care about the money. They just didn’t want to be upset because of it, and they didn’t want to be seen as a spendthrift.
What they were afraid of happened. Their worry came true. This girl really didn’t have the money to pay.
The waiter still had a glimmer of hope. He surrounded the girl and looked her up and down to see if she was secretly taking photos. Some teenagers liked to take funny videos and upload them on the internet, such as the reaction of the owner when he ate the king’s meal.
After looking around, this possibility was also ruled out.
The waiter took out his phone angrily.
“Anxin, what are you doing?” The shopkeeper frowned.
“Call the police to avoid any unnecessary actions.” The waiter glanced at Zhang Zian with hidden meaning.
Zhang Zian was speechless.
“Forget it, don’t call the police. It’ll make everyone look bad.” The shopkeeper sighed and said to the girl,””Little girl, you can go. I’ll let it go this time, it’s free for you. Next time you go to other restaurants to eat, you must bring money …”
Zhang Zian knew that shopkeeper ye had a good heart, a good temper, and the way he spoke was like a spring breeze. Only this kind of temperament could make good tea.
“I don’t want to! Why should I just let it go? I’m going to call the police and ask her parents to come over and take care of this child!” The waiter was in a fit of anger. She was the main server, so she was obviously more qualified to be angry.
At this time, if the junior high school girl sincerely bowed her head and apologized, the waiter would probably be soft-hearted too. Who asked her to be beautiful and cute? this was a world where looks were everything. Even girls liked beautiful girls.
The waiter didn’t care about the money, but he just couldn’t take it lying down.
However, the middle school girl didn’t accept the shopkeeper’s good intentions. She said stubbornly,””No need for a free bill, just on credit. I’ll definitely pay you back next time. Why don’t you believe me?”
He was clearly a dead duck, but he still refused to admit it. The waiter was so angry that he added fuel to the fire and really began to call the police station at the foot of the mountain.
Zhang Zian wasn’t sure if this junior high school girl was deliberately eating for free. If she was, he really should find her parents to educate her. This was for her own good.
However, if she was doing this on purpose, why didn’t she just accept the good intentions of the manager?
Therefore, he was inclined to think that she was telling the truth. She really didn’t bring any money, she couldn’t pay with her phone, and she didn’t have anyone to borrow money from.
“Forget it, I’ll pay for her.”
He started to regret the moment he opened his mouth, but he couldn’t swallow his words back.
“You?”
The innkeeper and the waiter all stared at him suspiciously.
“You know her? You guys are together?” The waiter asked. If he gave a positive answer, she would be even angrier, because it meant that the two of them had teamed up to deliberately cause trouble in the shop.
“I don ‘t.” He shook his head.”This is the first time I’ve seen it.”
“Then why did you pay for her?” The waiter didn’t quite believe it. If the price of the tea was tens of Yuan, it wouldn’t be surprising for an ordinary person to be generous to a beautiful girl. However, the junior high school girl ordered an expensive mid-range tea set, and it just so happened that this miser claimed that he wanted to pay for her. This was very outrageous.
In fact, Zhang Zian made this decision for three reasons. One was that he was inclined to believe this junior high school girl. Second, what he owed should be paid back. The last time he came here, he was hated for a year for trying to freeload, so he would just take it as paying back the debt with interest. As for the three, it was an inexplicable impulse.
“There’s no special reason. It’s mainly because I think she’s telling the truth. Besides, when we’re out, everyone has times when they’re short of money. It’s understandable for them to help each other, right? In the pugilistic world, helping the weak and helping the poor was a common thing. If you don’t accept her credit, then just treat it as me lending her money, okay?” Zhang Zian said casually. Since he had already acted tough, he had to act tough to the end.
Old time tea stroked its beard and nodded approvingly. At the same time, it secretly pointed to the shopkeeper’s hand.
The shopkeeper had just started to brew the tie Guanyin tea when he was interrupted by this accident. He stopped and did not continue to brew the tea. He just took out the tea leaves from the tea can.
What old time tea meant was that it didn’t want the pot of tea, which could help him save some money.
Zhang Zian didn’t say anything. He just pretended that he didn’t see old time tea’s hint. This time, he went out to treat old time tea to tea. How could he save money from this?
“You’re serious?” The waiter looked at him doubtfully, as if it was the first time he had seen him.
“It’s true,” He emphasized,”put down the phone. Don’t call the police.”
“Here, then you pay her first.” The waiter said warily,”and your own money for the tea. I’ll only believe you if you pay up.”
Zhang Zian knew that his reputation here was at the freezing point. He had no choice but to take out his mobile phone and let her scan the payment QR code. He closed his eyes and did not dare to look at the payment number, afraid that he would have a heart attack.
With a ding, the successful payment was announced.
