During the Republic of China, there was a small town at the junction of the two provinces, and there was a hotel in the town. There were all kinds of passers-by and people from all walks of life and all kinds of religions gathered in the hotel, but no one dared to cause trouble in this hotel. It is said that the owner of this hotel was also a stolen figure in the world and was very capable. Later, he went here for some reason and opened the hotel.
This restaurant is not big or small, it is divided into two floors. There is a front desk on the first floor, and then there are ten tables, chairs and benches. The kitchen is located at the back of the house, and the second floor is where the boss and his worker rest at night. There are four people in the hotel: the boss, the boss lady, the chef, and the boss lady’s nephew.
The division of labor in the store is clear. The boss is like a person watching the venue. Every day he takes a Taishi chair and sits at the door of the store, lying on it with a palm fan in his hand, and then puts a small table next to it and a teapot on the table, which is a bit like the Jiang Menshen in "Water Margin".
The boss lady collects money at the front desk in the store every day to settle the score. Needless to say, the chef is cooking at the back. As for the boss lady's nephew, he is a errand runner in the store because he has no ability.
This radius of fifty miles is only one of their restaurants. As long as people coming and going here are hungry and want to eat, they can only go to their house. Therefore, their business is particularly good. In addition, their house has another feature that it can be delivered within five miles, but you must book a day in advance, and then pay a part of the deposit and leave an address. They would deliver it to the person who ordered the meal before noon the next day, and then the errand runner brought the remaining balance back.
At noon that day, the boss lady greeted the guests at the front desk. At this time, someone came in, and the boss lady came forward to say hello and began to introduce the signature dishes of their store.
After hearing this, the man told the boss that his family would come to his house tomorrow, but their family did not prepare any good dishes, so he wanted to come to your house to order some wine and food. The boss said it was fine as soon as he heard it.
At this time, the man said in a little trouble: "I heard that the delivery range of your store is only five miles away, but my house is almost ten miles away from you. I wonder if it can be given? Of course, money is not a problem."
actually said that money is not a problem, so other problems are naturally not a problem. The boss's wife said she could give it. When the man heard this, he was overjoyed, then ordered more than a dozen dishes, then paid the deposit readily, left the address, and expressed his hope that they could deliver it before noon tomorrow.
The boss's wife asked him to let him be 180 times at the time of hearing this, and promised to be delivered on time tomorrow, and then watched the man walk out of the store.
Early the next morning, the boss's wife arranged for the chef to give priority to the meal ordered by the man yesterday. Then she put the food into a food box and handed it to the errand runner, and told him to be careful on everything on the road and not spill the food. After delivering it, she came back immediately. Then the waiter picked up the food box and went out.
The waiter came to the door of a house according to the address given by the person yesterday, and then knocked on the door. The door opened within a while. The person who opened the door was the one who ordered the meal yesterday. Then the waiter invited the waiter into the house and asked him to put the meal in the kitchen first. Then he opened the food box and looked at it and gave him the remaining balance.
The waiter was about to leave after getting the money, but he heard the man behind him asking him to wait. The waiter stopped and asked him what was wrong?
The man said, "He and his friends may have to stay at his house for a few more days. He is too lazy to go shopping for groceries and cook these days. He still hopes that the food for the remaining days will be handled by their restaurant, and they will deliver it once every day at noon and evening. As for what dishes they cook, just let them play it casually, but the dishes must be good." Then he took out a stack of banknotes from the inner bag of the clothes and handed it to the waiter, saying that the money is the deposit for the next few days.
After hearing this, the waiter said that there was no problem, so he took the money and returned to the store, and then told the boss's wife the request. After hearing this, the boss's wife was overjoyed and said that she had met a rich man.
On the second day, the waiter delivered meals every morning and evening as required. That night, the boss waited in the store until very late before waiting for the waiter to come back. After the waiter came back, the boss saw him in a mess and asked him why he was like this? The waiter of
shop said to the boss lady, "Aunt! When I came back just now, it was too dark and I fell down, so I came back a little late."
boss lady didn't think much about it after hearing this and asked him with concern if he was injured?
The waiter said that he was not injured, and then the boss's wife asked him to put the money he brought back into the box, and then went to wash and rest early.
The next morning, the boss's wife got up early, then came to the box where the money was put into consideration to calculate yesterday's account. She opened the box and took out the banknotes and lit them one by one. As she clicked, she found something was wrong. There were actually a few pieces of paper money mixed in the banknote. The boss's wife was shocked and then woke up the boss and told him that he had found the paper money.
The boss rubbed his sleepy eyes and said to her, "What were you doing in the morning? Then he said that whoever dared to fool them with paper money in the store he opened!" He got up and went downstairs to check with the boss's wife. It looked like the boss's wife said. There were indeed a few pieces of paper money in a stack of banknotes. The boss was furious after seeing it and then called the chef and the waiter downstairs.
The boss stood at the front desk and said, "Who did you put this paper money in the money box?"
Chef and the waiter looked at each other and said that they were not aware of it. When the boss saw that no one admitted it, he said loudly, "I will not blame you for being rude if I find out."
Chef said, "The head of the family, I am busy in the kitchen every day and I have no time to come to the front. Besides, I have been with you for so many years, and you know what kind of person I am!" The boss of
thought to himself, that's right, this cook has been with him for almost ten years, and he shouldn't do such a thing.
Then the waiter said, "Uncle, I come and go on the way to deliver food every day, and I don't have the chance to come to this money box at all. Besides, we are relatives, what are the benefits of doing this for me?" The boss of
thought to himself, and then he looked at his wife again.
When her wife saw the boss looking at her, she was so angry that she said, "You dead man, are you suspicious of me?"
When the boss saw her wife like this, she thought it would be impossible for her, so she sighed and said that she could only admit that she was unlucky. Then she told her wife to be careful in the future, and then let everyone do their jobs to do what they do today.
In the next two days, I received a few pieces of paper money one after another, which made the store panic.
After closing in the evening, the boss's wife said to the boss: "Why should we find a Taoist priest to come and have a look? I suspect that the person who comes to the store for dinner may not be a human or a ghost."
The boss was originally a person who did not believe in ghosts and gods but could not resist his wife, so he agreed to find a Taoist priest to do the trick tomorrow.
The next day, the boss's wife found a Taoist priest to do a great job in the store, which attracted a lot of attention from passers-by. After a while, the Taoist priest said that he had done it and there was nothing to do in the future. The boss's wife paid the money readily, but when the account was settled the next day, she found paper money again.
The boss's wife was frightened now, and then asked the boss if he had done something bad that he had done back then, and now he is here to take revenge on them.
After hearing this, the boss scolded the boss's wife, and then calmed down and asked her when the last money she put in the money box every day?
The boss lady thought for a moment and said, "The last money every day was put in when his nephew sent it back!"
The boss thought for a while and said softly, "Is it him?"
The boss lady immediately said that her nephew could not do such a thing. This paper money must be caused by evil spirits. Tomorrow she will find a temple to worship.
After hearing this, the boss said to her, "This is how you can give me the delivery address tomorrow, and I will deliver it myself."
The next day, the boss told him not to send it today. On the last day of today, the boss went to deliver the food in person, and then sent the waiter to do other things.
The boss picked up the food box and then left the store. Then he came to the location of the house according to the address given by the boss. When he walked to the door of the house, he was about to knock on the door, and found that the door of the house was half open and half closed. He called at the door a few times and saw no one answered, so he pushed the door open and entered.
The boss smelled a foul smell floating into his nose as soon as he entered the door. He thought to himself that such a good house is so unhygienic? Then he shouted a few times and walked to the front hall. As a result, the scene in the front hall immediately scared the boss who had seen the world. He saw that there were several people lying there around the dining table in the front hall, foaming at the mouth. There were still foods that had not been finished a few days ago. The boss plucked up the courage to walk over and touch the people tentatively, and found that they had been stiff. Seeing this, he quickly ran out and then went to report to the official.
After inspection, it was concluded that these people had been dead for many days. When the boss heard that he didn't believe it, he said that they had been ordering their meals these days. How could they have died for several days at once?
This incident spread throughout the town in an instant. When everyone heard it, they said it was evil. The boss was scared to death every day. The business in the store was getting worse and worse because of this matter. The boss looked helpless when he saw this, so he decided to close the store and take his wife back to his hometown, and then he brought the chef and the waiter to the house. He called them and told them that he could not open the store anymore. Now he was preparing to go back to his hometown. Some of the money here is for the two of you. Just take the money and go their separate ways.
In the next few days, the boss packed the things and contacted the carriage to take the things back to his hometown. When everything was ready, the four of them were about to say goodbye, they heard footsteps outside the door, and then a group of people with guns walked in. The leader was the detective in the town.
only heard the detective saying, "Boss, what are you doing? "
The boss sighed and said, "Brother, aren't you asking knowingly? You are not unaware of what happened here. Now everyone outside says that there are ghosts coming to eat in my shop, which makes me unable to do business and my wife has also gotten into trouble. Now I have to close the door and go back to my hometown to retire. "The inspector
smiled and said, "No, no! Boss, do you want to go and see a good show with me? "
The boss was a little puzzled and said, "Brother, when is it now? You are still teasing me here! "Inspector
said again: "Let's go! Man! This drama is absolutely wonderful! "
The boss thought about it and it was not bad for this time anyway, so he put the things in the store and followed the detective to "watch the show". Before leaving, the detective said to bring the waiter with him, and then a group of people came to the police station. After
, the detective took the boss to the door of a room, and then asked the boss to wait outside first. After a while, the truth would be revealed, and then he asked his subordinates to take the waiter into the room and lock the door.
After a while, he saw someone bringing the boss of the town's Chinese medicine shop into the room. He thought to himself, what did the owner of the pharmacy shop come here?
About an hour later, the door slowly opened, Seeing the detective coming out of the room, Xiao Er was handcuffed on his hands behind him, and his face was so sad that the boss was shocked and asked the detective what was going on? Why did his relatives be handcuffed?
After hearing this, the detective said that he would tell you by himself, and then lit a cigarette and stood aside.
The boss asked the waiter what was going on, and the waiter told the truth.
it was the first time when the waiter went to deliver food, he found that the house was gorgeously decorated. It was obvious that when the man took out a stack of banknotes from his inner bag, he found that the man was generous and became illusory.Then he took the opportunity to deliver food to the town and bought medicine. He originally thought that he would just make them faint and get some money, but he didn't expect that the amount would be too large and the people would be lost. In order to cover up his eyes, he pretended to deliver food every day. When he came back in the evening, he relied on his aunt's trust in him to mix the paper money he had prepared in advance into the banknotes he collected that day, creating the illusion of a ghost coming to eat in the store, thus confusing the public and hiding through the situation. However, the net of heaven was vast and unobstructed, and his trick still could not escape the eyes of the inspector.
The boss was really angry and hated after hearing this, and then slapped the waiter in the face, then said, "We and my husband treat you well. How did your aunt treat you normally? You know! You do this now and make your aunt feel in a daze every day. You are simply worse than beasts!"
After hearing this, the waiter just cried there and was then suppressed by someone. Not long after, he received the punishment he deserved. After the incident of
, the boss's hotel reopened, and the business was still as good as before. The boss no longer acted as his boss, but he called customers and settled the accounts at the front desk every day. Later, a new rule was issued that it would not be delivered from now on, and they would not give it to them even if you give it to them.
