I'm not a pet

Chapter 17 Our store has a minimum consumption

Baozhu was a little bit crazy in the face of the waiter's enthusiasm...

At the moment, she just wants to be a quiet and beautiful woman, listen to the gossip and chats of other diners, so as to understand the customs and customs of the Mafa Continent, and listen to the vicissitudes of the Mafa Continent.

But the waiter in this shop greeted her warmly without hesitation...

is she hungryHungry!Of course hungry!
Exercising mana early in the morning and coming out of Qingxi, after arriving at Luohua City, walking around for a long time exhausted my energy, can I not be hungry?
The most important thing is that from the moment she walked into Ruyixuan, she could smell the long-lost aroma of human food.She hasn't eaten what a human should eat for a year...

Except for her table which was empty, the rest of the tables in Ruyixuan were covered with fragrant food. The aroma of those food was continuously drilled into her nose, impacting her sense of smell and her stomach...

"That..." Baozhu swallowed her saliva, facing the waiter who was looking at her eagerly while holding the menu, "Ha! I suddenly remembered that I have something urgent to do first! "

Although she was very hungry, although she really wanted to eat those delicious meals, she told Baozhu rationally: she has no money...

Baozhu picked up her small bundle on the table, and quickly bowed to Xiao Er: "I'm really sorry, I'll take a step first, goodbye!"

Ready to leave.

"Guest officer, please stay!" Xiaoer stretched out an arm politely to stop Baozhu's way.

"Ah?" Bao Zhu looked at Xiao Er curiously.

The diners at several tables nearby also raised their heads following the movement of Baozhu's table, showing curiosity and gossip.

"What's the noise?" Before Xiaoer could answer Baozhu's question, a voice came from not far away.

Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man with a goatee and shrewd eyes approached the two of them.

"Shopkeeper, this guest officer has not consumed yet and is about to leave." The waiter respectfully reported the facts to the visitor.

The visitor nodded to show that he understood, and then waved to Xiao Er, indicating that Xiao Er was busy.Xiao Er got the instructions and turned around to greet other tables busy.

"This guest officer, I am shopkeeper Qin of Ruyixuan, I wonder if I can help you?" Shopkeeper Qin said politely with a kind smile on his face.

"No need, no need!" Baozhu quickly waved her hand, "I still have something urgent to do, so let's go first!"

Baozhu grabbed the bundle and wanted to leave again.

"Guest officer, wait a minute! If you want to leave, you need to pay the consumption fee." Shopkeeper Qin stopped Baozhu's way in a timely manner.

"Ah?" Baozhu was surprised, but then he was relieved, fortunately she didn't consume...

"Shopkeeper, it's like this. I just sat here, and I haven't had time to order food, and I haven't even drank any saliva." Baozhu explained patiently.

After listening to Shopkeeper Qin, the kind smile on his face became more sincere: "Could it be the first time for Guest Officer to come to Luohua City? First time to my Ruyixuan?"

"Yes, I just came here this morning..."

"That's no wonder!" Shopkeeper Qin suddenly said, "Guest officer, this store has a minimum consumption."

"As long as you step into my Ruyixuan and sit down, the minimum consumption will begin." Shopkeeper Qin patiently explained to Baozhu.

……

Baozhu looked blankly at Shopkeeper Qin, and then at the hall full of seats.If it weren't for the fact that everyone here was dressed in ancient costumes, she really thought she had returned to reality.

Isn't minimum consumption a product of modern times?This Marfa Continent is also doing this trick?Who thought of this as a way to cheat people out of money?

"If I didn't eat or drink from you, I still have to pay?!" Baozhu decided to play tricks.

"Guests don't know, the business of our store has been booming, and it's even more overwhelming at meal times. Please look at the guest officers, there are still guests who want to visit outside the door of Ruyixuan..." Saying this, shopkeeper Qin walked over Looking at the window by the table pointing to the main entrance of Ruyixuan, there were really a dozen people waiting in line.

"Therefore, there is a rule in our store that as long as you enter the Ruyi Xuan to take a seat during the meal time, no matter whether you spend or not, you will incur a fee. Otherwise, if everyone is like you, guest officer, who takes a seat during the meal time but does not spend money, how can it be Didn't it affect the business of our store?"

Hearing what Shopkeeper Qin said made sense, Baozhu also lost her temper.Knowing that it would not be so easy to leave just like this this time, I simply sat down again and asked, "Then what is the minimum consumption for you here?"

"This store is open to all, and the minimum consumption fee is only [-] coins." Shopkeeper Qin quoted.

"..."

"The minimum consumption is really not low, why do you say 'only charge [-] coins'!" Baozhu thought secretly.

"Shopkeeper Qin, I'm in a hurry to go out today, and I forgot to bring the money. I owe it first, and I will make it up together next time?" Baozhu looked at Shopkeeper Qin very sincerely.

Upon hearing this, shopkeeper Qin kept his kind smile unchanged: "This store does not accept credit!"

Baozhu felt that she was too sad.When he came to the Marfa Continent, he didn't drink a sip of water or eat a sip of food. At most, he just smelled the aroma of the food a few times, and immediately became a debtor and owed Ruyixuan thirty coins.

"Then what do you think we should do? Can't we be accommodating?" Baozhu looked at Shopkeeper Qin with a pitiful look.

"This..." Shopkeeper Qin seemed to be in a bit of a dilemma, not knowing what to do.After a while, he seemed to think of something again, looked at the orb from head to toe, then shook his head slightly and said: "Guest officer, you can also mortgage something of equal value in this shop, but..."

Baozhu understood that Shopkeeper Qin's sizing up of her just now was to see if there was anything valuable on her that could be mortgaged.It's a pity that she comes from Qingxi Village, where there are no humans. Except for the clothes she wears, she doesn't have a single piece of jewelry on her body...

However... when Bao Zhu's eyes touched the small bundle in her hand, she remembered the few herbs Bai Yu had given her, maybe this could be useful?
Before departure, Bai Yu had warned her not to reveal her identity and place of birth in Mafa Continent, so Baozhu was still very cautious about the things brought out of Qingxi Village.

She stood up, pulled shopkeeper Qin to the corner of the stairs in the hall, turned her back to shopkeeper Qin, and carefully opened a small opening in the bundle, stretched out a hand and casually touched a herb out.Then he quickly tied up the burden, turned around and asked Shopkeeper Qin:
"Treasurer Qin, do you think this can be used as a mortgage?"

Shopkeeper Qin took the grass and looked at it carefully.After a while, the kind smile that always hung on his face disappeared, replaced by a dignified expression, as if he was appreciating a precious antique.

After a while, he put down his hand, looked at Baozhu who was waiting for his answer, and moved his lips to ask something, but he didn't ask, but said seriously but slowly: "Guest officer, please wait here for a while." In a moment, I have to ask the boss to see how you can solve this matter."
