It was very common for customers to have disputes over seats in the restaurant.
Generally, there were three ways to deal with it. First, the restaurant owner was weak, so he hid aside and let the customers make a fuss. Whoever was afraid would give up their seats. It was a very cowardly way of doing things. Those who gave up their seats would not come back in the future, and they would also tell their friends and relatives not to come.
Second, the restaurant owner felt that he could still eat well in this place. He would go to both sides to negotiate and persuade them. He would spend money to buy face and try not to offend both sides as much as possible. He would also give extra dishes to those who gave up their seats for free.
The third way was for the restaurant owner to be powerful enough to chase out the troublemakers and not allow them to come back in the future. In this way, other customers would feel more comfortable eating at this restaurant, but it was not easy for the restaurant owner to do this.
In fact, there was also a restaurant like Between the Clouds and the Water. Usually, no one dared to make trouble at all. Once someone was bold and wanted to make trouble, it was not as simple as being driven out. They would be arrested and tortured to ask who ordered them to come here. How many benefits did they receive?
Then they would be sent to the government, convicted directly, and sentenced severely without any mercy.
Wang Juan stood up. She wanted to use the last method, which was to drive out the troublemakers. As for sending them to the government, she felt that it was unnecessary. It would not be good if they were exposed.
Zhang Xiaobao stopped her, walked over with a smile, and said to the leader of the five people, "Guest, this big brother, there is a set of empty tables behind. I will take it out right away and put it down for you. There will be room in a few minutes. Please wait a moment."
"Who is your big brother? Who are you calling big brother? I want this table. Don't talk too much, or … the restaurant will be smashed. I am talking to you. Get out of here. You are taking a table by yourself. How shameless. "
The man with a scar on his face stared at Zhang Xiaobao and said. Then he began to drive away the people who were sitting there and had not made a sound.
Zhang Xiaobao quickly said to the person sitting there, "Brother, how about this? I'll get you a good seat. There's a table for two behind me. It's better than the table in the shop. Today, I've got two new fish. I'll cook them in a while. Do me the honor and try them. What do you think?"
As he spoke, Zhang Xiaobao gave the four shop assistants a meaningful look. Wang Gang was the first to come over and persuade the five to wait. Zhang Nan stood up, looking as if he was about to make a move. Zhang Yu ran to the back to get a table. Only Zhang Yi moved very slowly. He stood there, looking as if he didn't understand what was going on, and had a blank look in his eyes.
"What are you waiting for? Tell him to scram now. You stay aside." The man with the scar on his face glared at Wang Gang. He raised his arm and swung it at Wang Gang's face.
Wang Gang leaned back slightly and tilted his head. Just as he was about to dodge, he didn't know why, but he suddenly reacted too slowly. With a slap, the other party's three fingers touched his face. Three white streaks appeared on his face, then turned red. It was obvious that his face was higher than the rest of his body.
"You still dare to dodge? I told you to dodge, you dodge, and you dodge again. " Seeing that the shop assistant had made a dodging action, the leader of the five was not satisfied and began to chase after Wang Gang to hit him.
Wang Gang was also smart. He took two hits, turned around and ran out from the back. No one knew where he went. The man chased him to the back and stopped.
Zhang Yu just came back with a table. He smiled at the man and said, "Sir, please calm down. He doesn't know how to behave. When he comes back, let him apologize to you. Please sit. Brother, look, I've brought the table."
At this time, the man sitting alone also stood up. He moved aside and didn't say anything. If it wasn't for Weiwei's trembling body, others would think that he was not afraid.
"Zhang Xiaobao, quickly, help me move the things on the table here." Zhang Xiaobao ordered Zhang Yi again.
"Ah? Ah! Move, I'll move. " Zhang Yi seemed to have just reacted. He looked at the five people and was about to take the things on the table that the previous man ate.
The other seven people who were eating also stopped and watched the situation develop. From the expression on their faces, they were very dissatisfied, but no one came to interfere.
At this moment, the man who hit the man came to the table again. He swept the table with his hand and all the plates, bowls and other things on the table were swept to the ground.
"Why are you moving? If it's broken, give me all your good things. If you don't give me one, I'll tear down the restaurant. And that shop assistant, find him. How dare he run? If you can't find him, I'll teach you a lesson. "
The man roared at Zhang Xiaobao.
"Yes, yes, all of them. We'll definitely find him. Don't be angry. That big brother, please sit over there. I have other things here."
Zhang Xiaobao nodded repeatedly and agreed.
It was reasonable to say that the man should have left directly. He had lost face and was not eating well. The restaurant wouldn't ask him for money, so he should just leave. But he just didn't leave. He was very easy to talk to. He sat down at the table prepared by Zhang Yu and waited for Zhang Yu to bring him some food and wine. He started eating there again.
Zhang Nan didn't look angry. He found a broom and started to clean the things that were swept to the ground by the man.
Zhang Yi was still standing there stupidly, looking like he didn't know what to do.
"Xiao Yi, hurry up and get the food for them. I'm going to the back to make fish. There are two fish. Let's try them." Xiaobao instructed Zhang Yi and turned around to enter the kitchen. Wang Juan followed behind him.
He couldn't collect the bill today. He couldn't collect the bill at any table. Someone came to make trouble, but they didn't leave. That was giving face. A restaurant owner had to be sensible. Since he chose to be a peacemaker, he couldn't offend anyone.
As soon as Zhang Xiaobao came in, he waited for Wang Juan to come over. He said to Wang Juan, "Did you see it clearly?"
"I saw it clearly. Zhang Yi found someone. You're playing dumb. He probably thinks that it's not easy for him to do what he wants with Wang Gang and others around. So when they come to eat in the daytime, he asked someone to help him clean up the other shop assistants in the restaurant. It's better to just beat them away."
Wang Juan also saw it and said to Zhang Xiaobao.
I can't let them make trouble like this. Wang Gang can't be exposed. I'll teach them a lesson. It's just five people. I'll find a strong stick. It's too painful to hit people with fists. You cooperate with me when I hit them later. "
Zhang Xiaobao said and went to the window.
Wang Juan whispered behind him, "Use a short one. The long one can't be used. It's easy to smash the restaurant."
"I know. I'll take one in each hand. See how I'll teach them a lesson. Humph, making trouble in my restaurant." Zhang Xiaobao's figure disappeared into the night.
After about five minutes, a man in black clothes with a black cloth on his head appeared at the door of the restaurant. He had a sickle wrapped in a thick cloth in front of his head.
When he came in, he shouted that it was a robbery. Then, he waved the stick and knocked down Zhang Yi who was standing there. Then, he swung the stick at the five people.
"Someone's fighting. Someone's robbing us. Stone, come out. You useless coward. Someone's robbing us." Wang Juan appeared at the door of the kitchen and shouted at the top of her voice. Just her voice alone was enough to make people's ears buzz.
At first, the five people who were being beaten saw someone rushing over with a stick. They planned to work together to knock him down. However, when they started fighting, they found that the other party's fighting strength was too strong. They couldn't block or dodge, let alone fight back.
The other party was too fast and strong. They knew that the other party was going to hit them, but they couldn't react in time. In the end, they could only hold their heads with both hands and run around, but they were knocked down one by one.
A minute and a half. In less than two minutes, the fight was over. The robber ran to the counter and ignored Wang Juan's shouts. He grabbed a handful of money and carelessly stuffed it into his pocket. Then, he turned around and ran out again.
"Shi Tou, he took the money away. You coward, why did I follow you? Come out with a knife. He took the money away. I don't want to live anymore," Wang Juan shouted as she leaned on the door frame.
Six people were knocked down in the restaurant. Their faces were full of blood. Three of them were moaning, while the other three were unconscious. The effect of the cloth-wrapped stick had been achieved.
The other people in the room were all dumbfounded. No one continued to sit. They all stood up and leaned against the corner. They looked at the mess in the room and didn't know what was going on.
They only knew that the five arrogant people were all lying on the ground. The ones who were awake were groaning and groaning. Their faces were all swollen. None of them had a nose that wasn't bleeding. Some of them had wounds on the corners of their eyes, mouths, and foreheads. There were even two people who were rolling around with one hand holding the other. It seemed that their bones were fractured.
"Too ruthless. This is too ruthless. A person came in and in the blink of an eye, all of them are lying on the ground. High ~ ~ ~ hand. "Zhang Yu said in surprise as he stood beside the person who moved the table.
Zhang Nan also nodded: "He's an expert. His movements are too fast. He's definitely a professional. In such a short time, he beat up people until their faces were covered in blood. He didn't even kill them. He really knows how to control his strength."
After running out, Wang Gang, who wasn't too far away, peeked his head from behind. He was also surprised. He quietly walked in and asked, "What happened? I was hiding behind when I heard the female boss yelling. When I came out, it was a mess. Then, that person ran away? He stole the money and ran away. I couldn't see clearly from my position. "
"You didn't hit them?" Zhang Yu and Zhang Nan asked at the same time.
"If I had that ability, I would have done it just now. That person just now seemed to be wearing black clothes. Where would I have time to change clothes?" Wang Gang shook his head and said. He really didn't hit them.
After about two minutes, Zhang Xiaobao came out of the kitchen. He was holding a pot lid in one hand and a kitchen knife in the other. He bent down and revealed two eyes from above the pot lid. He shouted in a trembling voice, "Where is he? I'm not afraid. He, he dared to rob me. I, I'll chop, chop him."
The two legs that were exposed under the pot lid were trembling non-stop, and they were inching forward step by step.
"He ran away. He stole the money and ran away. You coward. Just now you only knew how to hide. What kind of life am I living with you? I don't want to live anymore."
Wang Juan shouted at Zhang Xiaobao while picking up the money that the person had dropped when he was trying to grab the money.
Don't be angry, don't be angry. If something like this happens again next time, I'll definitely rush out first. Your box is filled with loose change. It's not much. Don't be angry. You four, come and help me persuade them. Eh? Xiao Yi, where did you go? "
Zhang Xiaobao's body was exposed from behind the pot lid. He said to Wang Juan and the four workers.
"I, I'm here, Brother Zhang. I was beaten up and bleeding. When he rushed in, I knew he wasn't a good person at first sight, so I went up first. When he shouted that it was a robbery, I, I was ready to fight. Who knew, who knew that he would knock me down in one fell swoop.
He was holding a weapon in his hand. I, I am bare-handed. Brother Zhang, my forehead is broken. I don't know how he swept my nose, but it is also bleeding. "
Zhang Yi leaned against a stool and sat on the ground. His two hands were wiping his forehead and his nose. His hands were full of blood.
At this time, he did not forget to show off his merit. He said that he rushed in. Zhang Xiaobao was clear in his heart. The reason why he broke his skin was because he hoped that he would continue to work. Of course, he could sweep his own nose when it was bleeding.
Zhang Xiaobao looked at Zhang Yi's nose carefully. He was very satisfied. Both nostrils were bleeding, but there was no problem with the bridge of his nose. Ordinary people did not have this kind of skill.
Although he was happy, Zhang Xiaobao still looked scared. He said to the other three workers in a trembling voice, "Quick, one of you come and persuade your boss. The other two look at Xiao Yi. Aiya, who did he provoke? He actually came to rob us. We are doing business properly. Why is there always someone disturbing us?"
When the four workers heard Zhang Xiaobao's words, they were all stunned. There was a hidden meaning in his words. They had never heard of this before.
They turned to look at the other five. Their injuries were obviously more serious than Zhang Yi's. It turned out that the three people who had fainted had already regained consciousness. They were only confused because of the beating.
Zhang Xiaobao knew his limits. Out of the five people, three of them had a broken hand, two of them had a broken nose, four of them had a cut on their foreheads, and one of them had a cut on his ear. Only one of them had a more serious injury. Zhang Xiaobao used a scythe to hit the top of his head on his left rib, breaking one of his ribs. That location was very uncomfortable.
The three workers were busy with their own tasks, including Zhang Yi. The four of them suspected that it was the boss who hired these people. But looking at the boss, it did not seem like it. Moreover, he had been hiding in the kitchen.
How could such an honest person know a powerful person? If that was the case, the boss should have stood up and said that he was the one who hired these people to scare others who wanted to come and cause trouble.
As for being robbed, not only did the four workers not believe it, even the people who were eating and the one who was beaten did not believe it. Who would have the skills to grab a handful of coins and run away when they were robbing?
The only ones who had a conflict with these five people were the one who was chased to another table and Wang Gang. But the two of them did not seem to be the case. The one who was chased to another table never went out, let alone contact anyone.
As for Wang Gang, he ran out for a while to find someone and explain the situation clearly to that person. He also described the appearance of the five people and asked that person to change his clothes and prepare a weapon. There was not enough time for him to run into the restaurant and beat them up. Unless there was someone who always prepared the clothes and was right next to the restaurant, it was not possible.
The people who were eating were not satisfied? That was not right. They also did not go out.
Zhang Xiaobao did not care whether others were suspicious or not. Anyway, he was satisfied. He put down the pot lid and put it back together with the knife. When he walked out again, although his legs were still trembling, his face was much better. He looked at the five people who were more seriously injured than Zhang Yi and asked, "They were also involved?"
