After saying that, the young man invited Ding Li into the restaurant. At this time, the owner of the restaurant also saw Ding Li, rushed over and held Ding Li's hand tightly: "Mr. Ding, my God, it's really you, I never thought I'd see you again."

Ding Li was stunned: "Boss, have we met before?"

The boss nodded again and again: "Mr. Ding, don't you remember me? You saved my life before!"

Ding Li still couldn't remember: "Sorry, I may be too forgetful, I really can't remember."

The boss smiled slightly: "Yes, you may not remember it. After all, you had so many patients at that time. I went to Baozhilin to see a doctor. You cured my diabetes!"

It turned out to be the case.

"It doesn't matter if you want to eat something, you are my benefactor, even if someone from the guild comes to make trouble, I can still say that you are my friend, and I don't charge any money, they won't count me as a foul. "The boss pulled Ding Li enthusiastically and let Ding Li sit down.

Ding Li asked curiously: "What are the rules of the guild? It is so wide-ranging. A guild should find a way to make money for all of its peers. Why doesn't the guild here allow you to open?"

"Well...it's like this." The boss said: "The so-called guild I mentioned just now actually refers to the Edinburgh Catering Association. They have strict regulations on our Chinese restaurants.

Because the business of Chinese restaurants is indeed much better than that of Western restaurants, so every time a Western restaurant opens, or there is a major event in a Western restaurant, the Chinese restaurant within [-] meters around it will be closed for one day. '

"It's just that the Chinese restaurant is closed." Ding Li said: "When I passed by just now, I saw an Arabic barbecue restaurant still open. '

"That's right, that's because their business isn't enough to have an impact on each other," the boss said. "So now, isn't this going to close for a day? It's said that a British restaurant on the next street held a food competition, so We rest."

"Do I know that the rent here is not cheap." Ding Li said: "You closed for a day, do they have any compensation?"

"They have calculated the basic cost of the Chinese restaurant, and will compensate us for the basic cost when it closes." The boss said: "But in fact, these costs are not even enough for us to pay rent and management fees.

But there is no way, who made us under the eaves now, we have to bow our heads, that's how it is. '

Ding Li frowned and said, "In that case, have any of you complained or protested?"

"Complaint? Protest? It doesn't work at all. People from the Edinburgh Catering Industry Association are notoriously disgusted with our Chinese restaurant." The owner said: "It is said that their family was operating British local cuisine back then, and was elected as the head of the guild. Since then, restrictions have been placed on our Chinese restaurants everywhere.

We had cold dishes, and they said unheated cooked food was unsanitary, and the number of colonies on it should be checked.Our kitchen has a lot of fumes, and it is said that we are destroying the environment. When we open after [-] pm, we say that we are disturbing the people.

These damn british guys, they themselves will be drunk and sing on the street every day until the early morning, and no one has ever said that they are disturbing the people.

But we can't do anything about it. We have left our hometown to seek a living, and now we have spent half our life here, and we don't dare to fight against each other. "

Hearing the boss say this, Ding Li was immediately upset by the boss. When Ding Li logged in before, he had already turned on the live broadcast button. This scene has been sent to the live broadcast program through the camera. Countless Chinese people on the scene have begun to complain about the boss.

Even many British people began to comment: "It is true that in the UK, the business of Chinese restaurants is far better than that of restaurants in the UK.

But this has also caused a lot of problems, and because the cooking method is not recognized, it is actually very difficult to open a Chinese restaurant in the UK.Hopefully this will change in the future. "

At this time, the boss wiped his tears: "Well, let's not talk about it, Mr. Ding finally came here once, let me show you a hand, what would you like to eat?"

Ding Li smiled slightly: "Neither of us have any taboos, let's try some special dishes."

"Okay, please, please." After the boss finished speaking, he turned around and went to the back kitchen.

Twenty minutes later, the boss came directly with four dishes: "Funge chicken with salt and pepper, sea cucumber grilled with green onions, fried crab in a typhoon shelter, and a fish-flavored shredded pork for dinner, you two should take it slow."

"These dishes are so fresh." Ding Li said with a smile.

"Yes, these are the best ingredients we choose locally." The boss said: "The frogs are bullfrogs shipped from the United States, the sea cucumbers are red ginseng originating in Denmark, and the crabs are hairy crabs shipped by air from Germany. The pork here is local.

But let’s not say that, the skills of these British people in raising pigs are quite good. The pork here is relatively strong, but the taste is better than the domestic one. You can use it slowly. I won’t bother you two. Let the waiter serve you the meal. "

After the boss finished speaking, he hurriedly went to the back kitchen, and soon the guy helped to serve it up. Ding Li and Avril ate it. Avril simply admired the craftsmanship of these Chinese cooks.

But just as the two were eating, two men in suits walked in from the door: "Han! What are you doing! My friend, we have given you enough trust, but you still failed us. !"

The guy hurried up and said, "Two gentlemen, you have misunderstood. This is a friend of our boss. We are not open for business, we are just entertaining our friends."

"My friends eat, do you still need a waiter like you to run back and forth?" the British said: "Let your boss come out, you Chinese people have never told the truth! I don't give you some color to see if you don't know how to be conscious. !"

At this time, the boss came in: "Two gentlemen, you really misunderstood, this gentleman is Ding Li, my savior, he once cured my diabetes..."

"I know you have diabetes, your damn Chinese food is so greasy, it's no wonder you have diabetes!" a person said strangely: "Our agreement is that today you will be closed, I don't care if you are entertaining friends or something , you have violated the rules by not closing the door now."

Chapter [-] I will help you get ahead

"Then...then what do you want to do?" the boss said timidly.

"Give you two options." The other party said, "Fifty thousand pounds fine, or suspension for a month later."

These two options, no matter which one it is, are serious losses for this boss. At this time, Ding Li couldn't help but stand up: "You two, come here!"

The two people were startled, and saw Ding Li looking at them with a dark face: "What are you looking at! What about you! Come here!"

The two were stunned for a moment, and after looking at each other, they walked up to Ding Li: "You... By the way, which reality TV star are you, Ding Li! We know you, but this is an internal rule of our guild, You have no right to interfere."

"Of course I won't interfere with the internal affairs of your guild. I'm just a tourist, wanting to know about the rule of law in the UK." Ding Li said: "You are an industry association, not a law enforcement unit, what right do you have to ask for a complete procedure? The legitimate restaurant pays the fine, or closes?"

The two laughed: "You are not bad, knowing that we are the Edinburgh Catering Industry Association, then we will tell you that our Edinburgh Catering Industry Association is a member of every restaurant in Edinburgh.

If you don't join, it's very simple, you can't even find a supplier to supply you, and even those small workshops responsible for washing dishes can't help you wash a dish! "

"I see." Ding Li said, "So your rights are really great."

"Of course! So Mr. Ding Li, we know that your ability is very good, but we suggest that you don't do anything wrong with us. This will only cause trouble for your yellow-skinned friends." The man said.

The word "yellow skin" simply refers to Chinese people, and with a strong sense of discrimination, Ding Li frowned slightly: "Since the rights are so great, then I know that rights and obligations are equal, you can give them What does it offer?

Or do you only care about your own rights and have no idea how to serve these members in the past? "

"Of course we serve them," the man said. "Every time a restaurant opens, we clean up those who are likely to compete maliciously, just like this restaurant.

There is an Edinburgh Food Competition being held in the street next door, but they are still operating illegally. We are now fulfilling our obligation to maintain business order! "
