The pretty girl probably lives nearby because she is very familiar with the surrounding roads.
After walking a short distance, the pretty girl brought Su Zhe to a small restaurant.
Although this small restaurant is small, it still pays attention to environmental hygiene. At least it looks clean on the surface, which makes people feel comfortable. Unlike some restaurants, let¡¯s not say whether the food is delicious or not, but the environment is It's already made me lose my appetite.
Although it was already past dinner time, there were still many people eating in the restaurant, and it was almost like a dream.
The cooking place of this small restaurant is right at the entrance of the store. The food is freshly cooked, so customers can see the cooking process and feel more at ease while eating. It tastes good and the price is very reasonable, so people nearby like to eat here.
The restaurant is run by a couple. The husband is responsible for cooking, while the wife is responsible for taking care of the dishes, serving them and clearing the dishes. They divide the labor and cooperate.
The couple looked like they were only in their early 30s. Although they looked very busy, they were still very happy with their work.
The two couples seemed to know the pretty girl. As soon as they came in, the landlady greeted the pretty girl: "Xinyan, come to eat today."
"Yes, Sister Yun, I brought my friends over for dinner today." said the pretty girl.
"Is he your boyfriend? Xinyan," the boss, who was cooking, heard Li Xinyan's words and laughed.
"No, we are just ordinary friends. Brother Zeng, please don't talk nonsense. If the food you cook today is not delicious, I won't pay you." Li Xinyan blushed at the restaurant owner's words.
"Don't worry, it will definitely be delicious. What do you want to eat?" The restaurant owner picked up the towel hanging around his neck, wiped his sweat, and said with a smile.
Since Li Xinyan said she wanted to treat Su Zhe to dinner, she naturally gave it to Su Zhe.
Su Zhe was not polite and ordered a lot of dishes and two bottles of drinks. The dishes Su Zhe ordered were all the restaurant's signature dishes, and the prices were relatively high.
Su Zhe orders one dish every time. Li Xinyan was mentally calculating how much money it would cost. After today, how many days will it take for me to save money and save money to make up for it.
When Su Zhe finished ordering, the landlady led them to find an empty seat inside and sit down.
The tables in the restaurant are almost full, but one table is still empty. Now Su Zhe and Li Xinyan are here, so they are all full.
If Su Zhe and Li Xinyan come later, they may not have a place. Need to queue outside.
The restaurant owner cooked the dishes very quickly. Not long after Su Zhe and the others sat down, they began to serve the dishes one after another.
Su Zhe picked up a chopstick and put it in his mouth to try it. He found that the taste was still good. It seems that this is the main reason for the popularity of this restaurant.
"How was it? Is it delicious? I introduced it correctly, right?" Li Xinyan looked at Su Zhe expectantly. said.
Su Zhe nodded and agreed with Li Xinyan's words.
Su Zhe and Li Xinyan were both hungry and did not speak any more.
Halfway through the meal, a few people suddenly came to the restaurant, and they didn't look like they were here to eat.
"Brother Tian, ??are you here to eat?" As soon as the restaurant owner saw these people, he put down what he was doing. He said with a lowered attitude.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? With the hotel's wife hidden behind him, the restaurant owner seemed to be on guard against something.
"It's free to eat. I don't have time. I'm here to collect the management fee." The leader, who was called Brother Tian by the restaurant owner, said casually.
"But Brother Tian, ??didn't I already pay the management fee two days ago? Why do I have to pay it again so soon?" When the hotel owner heard what Brother Tian said, his face suddenly turned bitter.
Although the business of the hotel is good, the couple in the hotel are relatively honest. The ingredients used are relatively good. Therefore, the cost is much higher than that of other hotels, and their prices are not high, so the hotel's profit is very small, which can be regarded as small profits but quick turnover.
Excluding store rent and daily expenses, the money you earn every day is very little, and you have to pay them a lot of management fees every month.
¡°And the couple in this hotel have families to support, so the pressure on the two of them is great. So although the hotel has a lot going on every day. But no matter how busy or tired they were, they never considered asking for help. The two of them had to bear the burden.
But the management fee has only been paid for two days, and Brother Tian came to collect the management fee again today. How can the couple in this restaurant afford it? How can they still have money to hand over to Brother Tian? If they hand over the money they collected to Brother Tian today, they will not be able to buy ingredients tomorrow and the restaurant will not be able to open.
But if the hotel couple didn't make peace today, Brother Tian and the others wouldn't let them continue to run the hotel smoothly.
"The first two days were the first two days, and today is today. I can collect it whenever I like. Let me tell you, starting from tomorrow, your hotel will start paying double management fees." It seems that Brother Tian is jealous of the hotel. Business is good, I'm going to make more money.
The so-called management fee is just a better way to put it. In the final analysis, it is just a disguised protection fee.
This kind of thing happens almost everywhere. It is inevitable. This is the helplessness of small businesses.
After merchants pay protection fees, the shops they open accept the protection of these people who collect protection fees. If someone comes to the store to cause trouble in the future, they will come forward to solve the problem.
The street where this restaurant is located is managed by Brother Tian and others, and Brother Tian is responsible for collecting management fees.
"If the people who collect protection fees are kind and use money to do things, if gangsters come to the shops to cause trouble, and these people who collect protection fees will come forward to solve the problem, then the merchants can bite the bullet and accept it as a loss of money to prevent disasters.
"But some people take money and do nothing. When collecting protection fees, they are very punctual and never collect less. But once there is a problem with a store, the merchant will never be able to find them, let alone expect them to stand up and solve it, and they will have to suffer the consequences.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Brother Tian and others are these people, they receive the money, but they have never done anything.
¡° Moreover, Brother Tian is still a greedy person. Whoever opens a store with a slightly better business will be noticed by Brother Tian and will come to collect management fees many times, making the merchants miserable.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away from other gangsters, but if there are merchants who are unwilling to pay management fees, their fists are still quite threatening to the weak merchants.
There were already many merchants on this street. They couldn't bear the torture from Brother Tian, ??so they closed down and left one after another.
Now the business of this restaurant has just picked up, but Brother Tian and others are concerned about it and come to visit. From now on, the couple may not have a good life.
