At around two o'clock, most of the guests in the Sparrow Immortal Restaurant had already left. Only Luo Bingwang was still sitting in the middle in a daze!
It wasn't that he hadn't finished eating, but he was thinking of a way to tell Yang Xuan and the others later!
He had been eating to his heart's content, but now that he was done, he didn't know what to do!
This meal had a total of 900 wen, but he only had 500 wen on him. He was still short of 400 wen!
It wasn't that he hadn't thought of eating and dash and leaving directly. In the past, he had heard storytellers often hear about heroes not paying for their meals.
However, looking at his weak body, it seemed that even without Yang Xuan's help, it would be difficult for him to deal with Wu Meiniang!
At the thought of this, he immediately ruled out the idea of eating and dash!
I wonder if they can pay on credit here?
He was willing to pay interest of one or two copper coins a month, but he did not know if Yang Xuan would agree!
"Hey, don't tell me you don't have money?" Wu Meiniang, who had cleaned up the other tables, walked over and asked with a suspicious expression.
" Oh, yes!" Luo Bingwang said awkwardly." Almost!"”
Wu Meiniang asked in disbelief,"You really don't have money?" It was just a guess before. He did not expect it to be true!
She had never seen anyone dine and dash at the Vermillion Bird Immortal Restaurant ever since she came here. It was all because the portion was not enough. Who would come here without enough money?
Moreover, the price was clearly stated on the menu. It was impossible for him not to know the price!
Thinking of this, Wu Meiniang immediately blocked Luo Bingwang's way out. There was no way he could dine and dash!
On the other side, Yang Xuan also noticed the commotion here. He walked over and asked with a frown,"No money?"
"Yes, shopkeeper. He has no money, but he still came to eat. He wants to dine and dash!”Wu Meiniang hurriedly said.
" No," Luo Bingwang hurriedly explained," I didn't dine and dash. I have money. I just didn't bring enough!"”At the end of his sentence, his voice became softer!
He knew that he was in the wrong and did not control the craving in his stomach for a moment. However, he would not admit that he had dined and dash!
Regardless of whether it was sending a visiting card to a noble residence or taking the imperial examination, one's reputation and image were of utmost importance!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel regretful. He blamed himself for not having good self-control and making such a mistake when he was tempted by a mere delicacy!
Of course, deep down in his heart, he hoped to be tempted by more of these delicacies. Thinking of the tofu pudding he had just eaten, he could still feel the spicy and delicious taste in his mouth. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva again!
Yang Xuan frowned. He didn't expect to dine and dash. He thought for a moment and asked," How much did you bring?”
Luo Bingwang hurriedly took out half a string of money from his bag and handed it to Yang Xuan.""Shopkeeper Yang, I only have these 500 coins now. I will definitely return the remaining 400 coins, but please give me some time.”
Then, he added,"Don't worry, I won't lose any interest!"”
After saying that, she looked at Yang Xuan nervously, afraid that he would not agree.
Yang Xuan glanced at his bag. Indeed, he did not have any money left. He could not help but feel a little troubled. This was the first time he had encountered such a thing. He did not know how the system determined it. Thinking of this, he immediately communicated with the system in his mind!
"As the shopkeeper, the host did not recognize people properly. The fine is ten times that of the previous one, which is nine strings of money!”The system's cold voice rang out!
When Yang Xuan heard that Luo Bingwang would be fined ten times, he thought about it and did not reply. He sized up Luo Bingwang and found that he was quite handsome!
In addition, he had been studying since he was young, so he should know how to read and write, as well as basic manners.
" I don't believe you," Yang Xuan said lightly." Work here to pay off your debts. You can leave when you pay off your debts!"”
His nine strings of money would not be gone just like that!
Having one of the four heroes of the early Tang Dynasty as a waiter seemed to be a good idea!
"Ah!"
Bingwang Luo was dumbfounded. Working to pay off his debts?
As a scholar, how could he let him do such an insulting thing? He hurriedly said,"Shopkeeper, can you trust me for once? I'll leave my documents with you for the time being, okay?”
After saying that, he looked at Yang Xuan expectantly. He couldn't stand being a waiter and welcoming people with a smile every day!
The document was similar to an ancient identity card. Not only did it record the person's identity information, but it also included the basic family background and identity!
"No!" "Since you don't want to work to pay off your debts, let's go to the authorities!" Yang Xuan said.”
As he said that, he was really about to drag Luo Bingwang to see the officials. Luo Bingwang was so scared that he immediately stepped back and said,""I agree, I agree!"
After saying that, he looked miserable!
Wu Meiniang watched quietly from the side. She could tell that the shopkeeper was deliberately scaring him like this. There were so many dignitaries and nobles who came to the Vermillion Bird Immortal Restaurant every day, but she had never seen the shopkeeper greet them warmly!
How could she really go to see the officials? However, she did not sympathize with Luo Bingwang. He knew how to dine and dash at such a young age, and it was even in their Sparrow Immortal Restaurant!
He had to teach this kind of person a profound lesson!
He even felt that the shopkeeper's lesson was too light. Being a waiter in the Vermillion Bird Immortal Restaurant was something that many people wanted, but he actually refused. He really did not know what to do!
"Yes!" Yang Xuan nodded in satisfaction when he saw that he had agreed. He did not care about him anymore and prepared to turn around and leave.
He wasn't worried that Luo Bingwang would run away. If he did, Yang Xuan had ways to make sure he wouldn't be able to escape for the rest of his life!
Luo Bingwang saw that he was about to turn around and leave, but he didn't think of running away. Now that the money was gone, it was useless to run!
"Hey, shopkeeper, how much is my monthly salary? Also, do we cover food and accommodation here?"”
Yang Xuan stopped in time and said lightly,""Food and lodging are included. Ten wen a month. When you pay the remaining four hundred wen, you can leave!”
At this point, he suddenly thought of something and said,"Oh, right, from now on, you'll be washing the pots and bowls in the restaurant!”
With that, he turned around and left!
When Luo Bingwang heard about his treatment, he felt a little gratified, except for the fact that he was guaranteed food. The rest of the terms were overbearing. He immediately wanted to struggle and fight for a better treatment for himself!
Ten copper coins a month? Was he trying to get rid of a beggar? The beggars on the streets probably got more than ten copper coins every month, right?
Ten copper coins a month meant one hundred and twenty copper coins a year, which meant that it would take three and a half years to pay off the debt. A whole three and a half years!
"Alright, since you're the new waiter, hurry up and pack up. There should be customers coming over in a while!”
Wu Meiniang pointed at the cutlery on his table. Thinking that she didn't have to wash the dishes and pots in the future, she suddenly felt relaxed!
Luo Bingwang looked at the residue and cutlery on his table in a daze. Then, he quickly got up and went forward to clean up. Wasn't it faster to clean up?
As for her words about having customers later, he automatically blocked them. It was already past lunchtime, so how could there be anyone coming over?
Coupled with the black-hearted price here, it was enough to make most people cower in fear!
Just as he was thinking this, the second wave of guests who had just finished the court session walked in!
