The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression Begins in Songhu

Chapter 190: Two or Three Things about Deyue Tower (Part 710) [Additional Chapter for the Color Shadow Master]

Time: The twenty-seventh day after traveling back in time, around 1:00 p.m., which is considered the peak dining time at Deyue Tower.

Since Annie didn't have work today, it was natural for her to come early. Now she is sitting behind the cashier, responsible for taking orders.

Otherwise, Sister Lin would not only be responsible for taking orders, but also have to be busy cleaning the table, which would really be too much for her to handle.

As usual, there was already a group of diners waiting in line in front of Anne.

They smelled the particularly tempting and overbearing aroma in the air, and seeing the enjoyment on the faces of other people in the store, they seemed to become even hungrier.

What was different from before was this middle-aged man with a tired face, and his appearance and temperament clearly showed that he was a little short of money.

When he arrived at the door of the shop, he did not take a number from the second-hand number-taking machine, nor did he queue up in the long line. After entering the store, he walked straight to the cashier.

It was obvious that he was not going to queue up and was going to jump in line to order food.

Anne, who saw this scene, had no intention of stopping it.

Instead, he gestured to the customer in front of him to wait for a moment, then greeted the middle-aged man with a smile: "Same as usual, a twice-cooked pork rice bowl to take away, right?"

After hearing this, the middle-aged man habitually showed a flattering smile.

Then he answered, "Yes! The child has had a poor appetite these past two days and can only eat a little of anything else. He only eats a big bowl of rice when he eats the rice bowls in your restaurant."

"Okay! 18 yuan, do you want to pay in cash or by scanning the QR code?" Annie operated the ordering machine skillfully.

But at this moment, Annie asked him to wait for the guest Yao Fei.

That was the man in his thirties, with a greasy face and perfume on his body, who started to yell in dissatisfaction:

"What's going on? Do you still have any rules in this store? Do you want to follow the first-come, first-served rule?

It would be fine if your store doesn't use food delivery platforms or take-out, and only accepts dine-in.

Why can he cut in line and take away food? That’s right! We pay 20 yuan for a twice-cooked pork rice bowl, why can he get two yuan less? He is looking down on us.”

That’s right! Deyuelou has always not accepted takeout or delivery for other dishes except Roujiamo.

The reason why he didn't accept takeout was simply because the store's business was too good and he was already a little overwhelmed; so when takeout platforms such as Moutuan and Ebue came to him, Hu Biao politely declined them all.

It’s not like it can’t be sold, so why should we accept the platform’s commission and other operations?

We don’t accept takeaway orders simply because it takes more time and the taste of the food will be affected to some extent after a long time.

After hearing this, Annie couldn't help but frown.

It’s not because of the customer in front of him. He has been staring at him since he entered the store, and his eyes are very uncomfortable.

Anne is a model and actress, and has met too many people.

If it was just this, she wouldn't care and would just ignore it out of habit.

The key reason was that when Yao Fei was shouting the above words, not only was his voice very loud, but his eyes were also constantly signaling to other guests.

It is obvious that they are trying to stir up everyone's emotions and shut down the shop because of this matter.

However, considering that her family was running a business, and that this kind of catering business was all about making money through harmony, Annie patiently explained:

"Excuse me, sir, let me explain.

This elder brother is from another place. He and his wife quit their jobs and brought their child to Jingshi City for medical treatment. Now he is hospitalized in the Children's Hospital on the Second Ring Road, and it is not easy for him to come here every time.

So we let him cut in line and pack up, for special reasons! Please forgive me, please forgive me."

Annie was not lying, because the middle-aged man had been coming to the store every now and then since he came here half a month ago after seeing Lao Tang’s video.

It’s not expensive to take a package, but my kids love to eat the twice-cooked pork rice bowl.

When I came for the first time, I was worried that the child would be hungry if he waited too long, so I showed Annie the medical record photo, hoping that I could cut in line and take away the food.

So let Annie remember him and let him order directly every time he comes.

In addition, each twice-cooked pork rice bowl will be 2 yuan cheaper. It is not directly free because the medical conditions in the capital city are excellent and the number of patients coming from other places is too large.

She believes that the number of similar cases will definitely increase in the future.

So with her limited ability, allowing the patients' families to jump the queue, allowing them to take away the food, and finally giving them a two yuan discount was the best she could do.

After all, she was still waiting for Hu Biao to pay off his debts and take her to his hometown in Hunan Province.

While Annie was explaining, the middle-aged man took out his mobile phone and found photos of the child's medical records.

After Annie finished explaining, she showed it to Yao Fei while saying:

"Brother, I'm sorry to bother you. I'm not just cutting in line casually. The boss and his wife are just being kind. How about you order first and I'll come after you've ordered?"

Normally at this point, any normal person, after hearing the above explanation and even seeing the medical records and photos, would say that it was nothing and that it was all a misunderstanding.

But Yao Fei was in the worst mood these past two days.

Something went wrong at work, causing significant losses to the company. After being fired, I didn't even get the N plus 1 compensation.

I heard that this little restaurant has delicious food. When I walked in, I saw the beautiful proprietress wearing designer clothes. Then I thought about how I didn’t even have a girlfriend, and I felt even more upset.

Then, when I was cut in line, the negative emotions in my heart suddenly burst out.

After hearing the explanation and seeing the words "childhood neuroblastoma" on the medical record photo, he still refused to give up.

He was still yelling, "Whether his child is hungry or not is none of my business. I'm not his father.

Since you are so kind, I see your store is doing well and making a lot of money, so if you can, you can cover all the medical expenses..."

Without waiting for Yao Fei to finish yelling, or for Hu Biao, Siyan and the others who had witnessed the conflict outside, they put down what they were doing and came out of the kitchen.

A man in the team behind him started talking to Yao Fei:

"Hey man, that's enough for you!

Who doesn't have some difficulties in life? When you encounter them, why don't you lend a hand? What's wrong with letting someone cut in line and letting their child have a bite of food earlier? Don't be so harsh.

As soon as the voice fell, more people began to accuse Yao Fei.

This scene can only say that the Chinese people, the vast majority of them are still kind, and everyone has a scale in their hearts.

There was even a man with a Northeastern accent who started cursing at Yao Fei: "You idiot, eat if you want, or get out if you don't. Boss Hu's food is delicious and affordable, and we don't need you as a customer."

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves, as if ready to deal with Yao Fei.

And there are definitely more people who have such plans than just the man from Northeast China. It can be said that Yao Fei's words and deeds have already aroused public outrage.

He hasn't been criticized yet, and he really has to thank the current social environment.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Yao Fei threw the license plate in his hand to the ground and walked out of the shop cursing in a voice that only he could hear clearly.

I’m showing you through my actions that I’m not going to eat at this crappy restaurant anymore.

Ironically, after he walked out of the shop in a daze, a gust of tempting food aroma blew over, making his stomach growl with an indescribable hunger.

It means that one is tough in mind but very honest in body.

It was definitely impossible to go back and continue eating, and Yao Fei was unwilling to let today's events go like this.

It was in this particularly tempting fragrance that he suddenly thought of a possibility, and then he felt more and more that his guess was definitely correct.

After hurriedly walking about a hundred meters, he took out his phone and started dialing.

After the call was connected, he began to speak:
"Sir? I'm reporting a small restaurant called 'De Yue Lou' on XX Road in Maju Bridge. They put duck shells in their soup.

Not only does it smell better, it's also addictive.

My stomach still hurts so much right now, I think I have food poisoning. Come over here quickly and arrest the owner and his wife of the shop..."
