Chapter 135: Speculation
Three customers walked into the store. The middle-aged man in charge glanced into the store and saw that every table was occupied.
He asked towards the bar: "Boss, are there any tables left?"
Xu Qingqing replied apologetically: "Hello, sir, I'm sorry, the table is already full!"
The middle-aged man didn't pay much attention after hearing this, and said, "Then I'll line up outside!"
Just as Xu Qingqing was about to open her mouth, Liang Baikai pulled her back, indicating that she was at the bar, and followed him out.
When the three guests arrived outside, they all went to get bowls from the green basket to pour herbal tea.
Each poured a bowl and talked while drinking herbal tea.
“When I saw no one was queuing up, I thought there were tables inside, but I didn’t expect there was still a queuing line.”
"Business here is good, and it's lunch time. Isn't it normal to queue up!"
"Yes!"
"But we are lucky today, we are first in line, and we will be able to eat it soon!"
"Well, I took a look at the store earlier. Everyone inside has almost finished eating. They should be able to come out soon!"
"..."
At this moment, Liang Baikai walked up to the three of them.
"Come on, let's smoke a cigarette first!"
He took out the Yellow Crane Tower and gave one to the middle-aged man and his two companions.
The middle-aged man took the cigarette and saw that it was 4 yuan 2 for a pack of Yellow Crane Tower. A smile appeared on his face, "Brother, are you here to eat too? Alone!"
Liang Bai smiled: "No, I am the chef in the store!"
"Ah! You are Master Liang!" The middle-aged man looked a little excited, "The delicious and inexpensive Hezha set meal was made by you. I like eating your food so much!"
"Thank you!" Liang Baikai thanked politely, "Brother, I'm sorry for today, don't wait any longer!"
The middle-aged man and his two companions were startled and looked at Liang Baikai in surprise.
Liang Baikai said: "There were hundreds of people lining up here before, and I advised them to leave!"
The middle-aged man seemed to suddenly realize it and muttered: "No wonder, I mean why is there no one in line today!"
He was puzzled and couldn't help but ask: "Master Liang, why did you drive away all the guests?"
Liang Baikai said: "It's not that I want to drive you away."
Pointing to the store, he said: "The people who come to eat here are all gangsters. They came early to occupy the table and never got off the table!"
The middle-aged man and his two companions both looked into the store through the glass window, and sure enough they found that the people inside were all young people eating at a table of two. They hardly ate and only chatted with chopsticks.
"Master Liang, let them occupy the table like this?" the middle-aged man said unjustly.
"Of course not!" Liang Baikai said: "But brother, you should leave first, don't waste time here, come back next time!"
The middle-aged man felt helpless when he heard what he said, and said, "Okay, Master Liang, it's not easy for you to open this store. There are always people coming to make trouble!"
He was a regular customer and had obviously heard that someone had come to cause trouble before.
Liang Bai smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Anyone who makes trouble will not end well!"
After watching the three guests leave, Liang Baikai did not enter the store. He sat on a stool under the pergola, took out a Yellow Crane Tower, lit it, and started smoking slowly.
Xu Qingqing came out and sat down next to him.
Liang Baikai quickly put out the cigarette butt.
Xu Qingqing said: "You are the one who slaps you, why will you be destroyed as soon as I come?"
Liang Baikai said: "You are pregnant with the baby. We cannot let you smoke secondhand smoke. It is not good for the baby!"
Xu Qingqing rolled her eyes at him, "How can it be so delicate? Just slap it if you want!"
Liang Bai smiled and said: "I won't smoke anymore!"
Xu Qingqing smiled, and from Liang Baikai's small gesture, she felt how much this man cared about her and their children.
Following such a man makes her happy.
However, she didn't understand why there were always people looking for trouble and not allowing them to live a peaceful life.
The smile on her face gradually solidified, she looked at Liang Baikai and said, "Brother Kai, who do you think was the instigator this time? Wu Bing or Liang Baijin?"
Liang Baikai said: "They don't have the brains to come up with such an idea!"
Xu Qingqing said: "Who is that?"
"I don't know yet!" Liang Baikai shook his head, a sharp look flashed in his eyes, "But it doesn't matter, you will always let me know!"
At first, he thought it was Wu Liang, but judging from what he eavesdropped outside Wu's house last night, Wu Liang was having a headache about Wu Bing's false case report, and he probably didn't have the energy to plan.
Then he thought about Yangpi.
After all, all the people here this time are gangsters.
But he couldn't figure it out, why did Yangpi do this?
Xu Qingqing said a little worriedly: "Brother Kai, you must not be impulsive, don't... take the kitchen knife easily again!"
Liang Baikai's eyes have long since returned to gentleness, "Honey, don't worry, I won't mess around!"
Xu Qingqing nodded.
Next, the two of them didn't enter the store, but just sat under the arbor and talked.
During the process, several groups of guests came, but they were all persuaded to leave by Liang Baikai.
Time passed slowly.
It was almost two o'clock, and still no one came out of the store.
Xu Qingqing said: "Brother Kai, they still have no intention of leaving. Are they going to keep occupying the afternoon table?"
Liang Baikai pondered slightly, "I guess so!"
An angry look appeared on Xu Qingqing's face, "They really went too far. 66 customers occupied our table for a day. Our turnover today is only a few dozen yuan!"
Compared with the previous daily turnover of [-] to [-] yuan, today's turnover suddenly only amounted to a few dozen yuan, a difference of about ten times. Xu Qingqing felt distressed and angry at the same time.
Liang Baikai said: "It's okay. I guess they won't leave in the afternoon. Let's go in for a working meal first."
Xu Qingqing had no choice but to agree.
All the tables in the store were occupied, so we had to eat our work meals in the kitchen.
For today's work meal, Liang Baikai asked Cheng Shuang and Xiang Pu to fry a few random dishes, plus minced meat and dregs, and everyone ate them.
"Brother Bai, if they don't leave yet, how can we open in the afternoon?"
"Those people are so abominable, they act like swindlers."
"At first, I thought today's guests came early, but I didn't expect that they came to reserve seats. How bad!"
"I can't wait to spit in their food!"
"Brother Bai, do you want to drive them all away!"
"..."
Wang Xiaoping, Wang Xiaohong, Li Jie and other waiters all said angrily while eating their work meals.
Liang Baikai glanced at a few people and said, "Don't worry about them yet!"
Wang Xiaohong said: "Brother Bai, they are full now, but what about in the afternoon? They are hungry after staying in the store in the afternoon, and they want us to serve them again. What should we do?"
