Chapter 540 Silver

He ate little more than a sip of each course, and mainly drank. 26nbsp;The servant looked after him from a distance, seeing that the dishes on the table were basically unmoved, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, he thought about it and went to the back hall, and after a while he took back a plate of golden crabs, put it on the table and said: "Guest officer, is it right?" Doesn't suit your taste? I decided to serve you a plate of crabs again, try it, it's very fresh and delicious."

Afraid that he didn't care about the crabs, Zhang turned his head to look at the young man. The young man was uncertain, and asked in a low voice, "Is it not to your taste? I'll change it now, I'll change it now." He was going to serve crabs.

Zhang Ai smiled and said: "Take a big food box and put all these vegetables in it, and there is still half a jar of wine left, so put them together."

The boy responded, and ran to the counter to ask for a food box. When he came back, he was busy for a while, and while packing the dishes, he asked: "Guest officer, where do you live? I will send it to you, just in time to collect the dishes, so that you don't have to make another trip." .”

Zhang Ai said: "I don't want it, if you don't dislike it, you can take it home and eat it."

The boy was stunned, not understanding what the guest in front of him wanted to do. This man spent an ingot of gold to buy a table of dishes, and then gave it away?Still a stranger.Just when he was about to ask again, Zhang Ai stood up and said, "Let's go." As for how the servant will handle the table dishes, he doesn't care at all.

After getting along for a while, he liked this boy very much, and most people who know how to consider others are kind people.

Seeing that Zhang was afraid to go out, the young man hurriedly packed up the food and drinks, and chased him out with a food box: "Guest officer, where do you live? I'll send you there." Zhang fear smiled, and walked a few steps forward, When he was about to reach the house, he stopped and said, "If you don't dislike it, you can keep it, if you don't dislike it, then throw it away." The young man took out another four ingots of silver: "Your money."

Zhang feared, "It's yours." He turned around and walked away.

The boy was left alone, looked back at the restaurant, turned around and ran into the courtyard.As soon as he entered the door, he greeted: "Mom, I have brought food back."

A woman in her 30s walked out of the East Wing. She looked young, but her skin was dark and her hands were a little rough. She said, "How many times can I teach you to remember 'sex'? No matter how much leftovers someone else eats. If you eat it, you don’t eat it, you have to have a backbone.”

The boy argued: "It's not leftovers, it's what the customer ordered for me."

"Shouting? Is there such a good thing? Come, let me see if it's delicious?" The curtain of the west wing room was lifted, and a woman walked out, about the same age as the woman just now, and her appearance was more beautiful, but there was a slanted expression on her face. Long scar.

There was a stone table in the courtyard, and the servants put the food on the table one by one. The two women carefully looked at each dish, as if it was really not leftovers, especially the golden crab, which was plump and poured with golden sauce. , the whole dish is like a whole, if you move a chopstick, you can see the incompleteness, the woman who came out first asked: "Is it really for you?"

The little fellow gave a sigh of relief, and said in his heart: "Anyway, I'm not lying, it's my decision to order the dishes I like."

At this time, another woman walked out of the east room, a little older, in her 40s, wearing coarse clothes, looking at the dishes on the table, and at the servants, said in a deep voice, "Say, what's going on?"

The boy repeated what he said just now, and the middle-aged woman obviously didn't believe it, and said loudly, "Still talking nonsense?"

"Mother! Why don't you believe me?" The boy retorted.

"Trust you? How do you make me believe you? And your brother? You two don't make me mad, do you? How many times have I said that a person must have ambition and not lie! Can't you remember?" His mother very angry.

The servant said in a low voice: "I'm not lying. I met a kind-hearted man who said that I would order whatever I wanted. After the dishes were served, he just waved his chopsticks for each dish, and then asked me to put the food in a box. If I don’t dislike it, I take it back to eat, and if I dislike it, I throw it away. I don’t think these dishes are leftovers, nor are they stolen. They were given to me by customers, so I brought them back. I’m not lying.”

His mother looked at her son carefully, decided that he was telling the truth, and said softly: "Mother wrongly blamed you, take it out and eat."

The boy shook his head: "I have to go back, Erniang and Sanniang, quickly take the plates and put the dishes there, I have to send the plates and food boxes back to the store."

Er Niang and San Niang turned and went into the kitchen. San Niang, the beautiful woman with a scar on her face, smiled and said, "Keep it until you come back to eat." A large ingot of silver, let alone 40 taels, when my mother saw the silver, her face changed, and she asked loudly: "Are you still telling lies? Where did the silver come from?"

"The guest rewarded me." The boy said.

"Nonsense! Whoever gives a reward is more than forty taels of silver? Tell me, who stole it? Send it back immediately." Mother was very angry.

The boy was wronged: "It wasn't stolen!"

Erniang and Sanniang came out with plates. Seeing this, Erniang said to the forty-year-old woman, "Sister, please speak carefully." Then she asked the boy: "To be honest, did you steal it?"

Sanniang talked while tossing the plate: "Xiaozhi, you are not young anymore, tell Sanniang the truth, stealing money is not a big deal, people can't tell lies, a man is a man, dare to do what you want."

Xiaozhi became unhappy, and said angrily, "I didn't steal it! Why don't you believe me?" He went to pack the food boxes, packed the dishes from the restaurant, and ran out of the courtyard.

There were three women, a table of vegetables, and four large silver coins left.Erniang hesitated and said, "Maybe it was really a reward from a guest?" The aunt said angrily, "You will reward him with 40 taels of silver? Come back at night to take care of him."

At this time, the west wing room 'showed' his head and saw a table of dishes drooling: "There are so many delicious dishes." The aunt reprimanded: "Go on your knees!" The boy pouted and retreated into the room.

Zhang was afraid that he could hear the noise in the courtyard thoroughly, but with his cultivation base, why didn't he hear what he wanted to hear?But he didn't come to explain to the boy.He thought he was a god of decay, and he was worried that he would hurt Xiaozhi's family, so he just listened and did nothing.

In the afternoon, I still wandered the streets, thinking about how to help the family.In the evening, I went back to the restaurant again. I didn't expect that something would happen in such a short time.

Zhang was afraid that the way he cooked the meal and the whole ingot of gold he took out would make the owner of the restaurant covet. Later, when he saw that the money was returned to Xiaozhi, he took it home again. He was greedy and said that the 40 taels of silver was a wine account. It was given to the restaurant by a guest, so Xiaozhi should return it.Of course Xiaozhi refused, so he was tied up by the boss, who threatened to hand over the money to the yamen if he didn't return the money, and then asked someone to notify his family.

40 taels of silver, if you say more or less, ordinary people can't earn it for a year.When the woman received the news, she hurriedly brought money to redeem the man, handed over the money and took her son back. On the way back, she kept scolding him, saying that she should not steal other people's money.

Zhang Ai came back to eat, and asked the waiter, "Where's the kid at noon?" The waiter said, "He's on leave. Just tell me what you want to eat, and I'll make sure you're satisfied." The hotel owner recognized Zhang Ai. It's hard not to recognize him, but he knew it was a high-profile customer, so he told Xiaoer to take good care of him.

Zhang was afraid that when he heard it, did he ask for leave?I went to Xiaozhi's house to see what happened, and if I could help, I would definitely help.
