Chapter 204: Old man, I'm not that shameless person
Originally, a pursuit by officers and soldiers had already caused panic among the guests in the restaurant. As soon as the officers and soldiers left, the waiter brought in a dirty beggar. Now the guests were obviously in a less mood for eating.
But I didn’t want to break up with the innkeeper.
Face, after all, this person was brought in by the waiter of the inn, so he must have had the permission of the shopkeeper. He didn’t dare to scold loudly. After all, the looks on the faces of the guests were not good-looking. After all, no one wanted to be around him while he was eating.
Sitting there was a beggar who smelled bad.
The waiter also walked in front of the beggar with a look of disgust on his face, and the beggar seemed to be used to seeing others like this. He walked as he pleased, looking completely unconcerned.
"Sir, your friend brought it to you."
The waiter walked up to Li Longqian. Although he couldn't understand why Li Longqian let this beggar in, he still knew in his heart that Li Longqian must not know this beggar. Otherwise, why didn't Li Longqian come forward to tell the beggar in the first place?
Please come into the restaurant, but you have to wait for the waiter to ask Li Longqian before agreeing. If you are not a fool, you can see the strangeness between this matter.
"Thank you."
Li Longqian knew that this was difficult for the waiter, so he reached out and took out some broken silver and put it in the waiter's hand as a reward.
The waiter was previously worried that he would be blamed by the shopkeeper, but after seeing the pieces of silver that Li Longqian put in his hand, his mood instantly changed. After nodding and shouting twice to thank the guest, he quickly retreated.
Li Longqian raised his head and glanced at the old beggar. He was about to open his mouth and signal the old beggar to sit down. Unexpectedly, the old beggar didn't wait for Li Longqian to open his mouth and sat down next to Ling Shiqing. Li Longqian gave the old beggar a message in advance.
No one would even look at the place that the beggar had given up.
Li Longqian has a good impression of this beggar, but that doesn't mean that Ling Shiqing is also born to be close to beggars. Not only is he not close to beggars, but he also has a bit of disgust. So after seeing the old beggar sitting next to him, he quickly stood up and walked straight away.
When he reached Li Longqian's side, he gave Li Longqian a fierce look.
Li Longqian understood what Ling Shiqing meant and quickly smiled and made room for Ling Shiqing to sit down.
After Ling Shiqing slowly sat down while pulling her skirt, she put her little hand on Li Longqian's leg and squeezed it hard. Maybe she felt resentment because of Li Longqian's nosy, but this time it also hurt Li Long.
Unspeakably miserable.
The old beggar seemed to be born with a familiar temperament. He reached out and picked up Ling Shiqing's cup and poured a cup of rice wine.
When Ling Shiqing saw this, she couldn't help but frown and reminded, "That's my cup."
"It doesn't matter."
The old beggar smiled at Ling Shiqing, then raised his head and drank all the rice wine in the cup. Perhaps thinking that he was not satisfied with the cup, he put down the cup and started pouring the wine.
Li Longqian sat opposite the old beggar with a smile on his face, but he never asked a word.
The old beggar drank five glasses of rice wine before he put down his glass with a smile, glanced at Li Longqian, and the first thing he said was not to introduce himself to his family, but to ask as he should: "Brother, can you
Have you ordered? There’s no point in drinking.”
After Ling Shiqing heard this, if Li Longqian hadn't stopped her, she would have stood up and chased the old beggar away.
After all, I have never seen such a shameless person. Previously, Li Longqian was kind enough to see him as pitiful and let him enter the restaurant, but now he even shamelessly wants to order food. Ling Shiqing couldn't bear this arrogance.
When he dared to open his mouth to chase people away, he found Li Long pulling him with a smile.
"Why are you dragging me?"
Ling Shiqing turned her head and glared at Li Longqian.
Li Long smiled lightly and did not reply. Instead, he handed the menu on the table to the old beggar's hand and whispered: "You can do it yourself."
When the old beggar heard this, he was also full of surprise. After reaching for the menu, he did not forget to praise Li Longqian: "You kid, you have a great future."
"What the hell!"
Ling Shiqing was so angry that she started to talk dirty. After all, Li Longqian didn't even have money to spare from the inn when he followed her, and now he even pretended to be generous and invited a beggar to dinner. How could Ling Shiqing not be angry?
"That's just his temper, don't mind." Li Longqian explained to the old beggar with an awkward smile.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I'm just worried about the money in your hands. Old man, I'm not that shameless person. I will definitely not deprive you two."
The old beggar agreed with a smile, and then called the waiter in the restaurant. After looking down at the menu and studying it carefully, he looked up at Li Longqian and asked, "Have I ordered?"
Li Longqian nodded.
"The steamed Babao Pig is pretty good at this restaurant. Let's get one...the Southern Fried Ganguaer is also good...the braised chicken is not as delicious as this big fried chicken, but the big fried chicken is better..." The old beggar knows his way around well.
Usually, after ordering more than ten dishes, I reluctantly put down the menu in my hand.
"Are there any more, sir?" the waiter confirmed with a dumbfounded look.
"Bring me another chrysanthemum pot. The Double Ninth Festival is coming soon, and the chrysanthemums at this time are the best." The old beggar added very fastidiously.
"Okay, wait a moment."
The waiter nodded, turned around and ran towards the kitchen. After all, the old beggar was a big job in the waiter's heart.
"Who said before that he was not the shameless person?"
After the old beggar ordered the food, Ling Shiqing stared at her big watery eyes and stammered.
"Oh, old man, I'd better order as little as possible. Otherwise, do you think these few dishes can really put me off?" The old beggar curled his lips and replied to Ling Shiqing.
Ling Shiqing turned to look at Li Longqian and asked, "Do you still have enough money in your hand?"
"not enough."
Li Longqian shook his head with a stiff expression.
"It's not enough. Why don't you stop him? You know it's not enough..."
Before Ling Shiqing finished speaking, Li Longqian reached out and covered Ling Shiqing's mouth, then leaned down and whispered in Ling Shiqing's ear: "I asked him to order, and I didn't say please."
He, the food will be served in a while, and we will just sit still."
Ling Shiqing was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then she quickly blinked her big eyes to show that she understood.
Li Long smiled slightly and released Ling Shiqing's mouth.
"Let me just say, you are such a stingy person, why are you willing to spend money to treat others to dinner." Ling Shiqing looked at Li Longqian with a smile and said.
The old beggar opposite looked at Li Longqian and Ling Shiqing whispering to each other, pretending not to hear anything. In fact, no matter how quiet their voices were, the old beggar could still hear them clearly.
"This kid actually has some tricks up his sleeve."
The old beggar looked at Li Longqian and commented secretly in his heart.
