Chapter 151: Washing Dishes is Also Awesome (Third Update)
After eating until noon, Qiao Binkai got up and bid farewell. He had something to do in the afternoon, so he took advantage of the empty space at lunchtime to come over. Wang Xu and Bai Nongxin didn't keep him back either, personally sending Qiao Binkai to the door.
This time Qiao Bin Kai just came over to drink Bai Nong Xin's wedding wine, and he brought his driver early. Wang Xu and the others didn't worry either, they reminded him a few times and saw him off as he left.
After returning to the hall, Wang Xu looked at the time and smiled: "We've eaten enough, I guess those above have also had their fill. I'll go take a look."
"I find that you're getting worse and worse, coming up with all sorts of ways to discipline people." Yang Han said with a smile.
"Hmph, I don't like hearing that, I'm such an upright person." Wang Xu said with a smile, and after saying that, he waved his hand at Bai Nongxin and the others, and went upstairs by himself.
The second floor was also the same as the remaining few people at a table, Wang Xu came to the door, lightly knocked on the door, and without waiting for a reaction from inside, pushed open the door and walked in.
"Hehe, how's the food in your department? Is it enough? If not, I'll ask them to bring more." Wang Xu asked with a smile as he walked in.
Inside the private room, there was also a waiter responsible for pouring wine. Hearing Wang Xu's words, he covered his mouth and suppressed a smile, but the food on the table hadn't been touched much.
"Hey, why hasn't anyone eaten? Is it not to your taste?" Wang Xu also noticed this situation and asked in surprise.
"Brother, the dishes are delicious, we've already eaten when we came, can't eat much now, how much do you say? We'll settle the bill, we still have things to do in the afternoon." Xiang Yu hurriedly stood up and said, the others also didn't dare to delay, quickly got up. The chairs on the edge of the table made a loud noise.
"It's time to go so soon, but I haven't eaten yet, how can that be?" Wang Xu said with a pretended displeasure.
"Brother, we've really eaten well, and there's still something to do in the afternoon. I won't stay for long." Xiang Yu hastily raised his hand and said, with a pleading expression on his face, they were hungry, but where could they eat here, and they didn't dare to eat openly either.
"Since there's something going on in the same department, I won't keep you any longer." Wang Xu nodded and then beckoned to the waiter who was calling out from inside: "Go ask at the front desk how much this meal costs, remember to give an 8% discount."
"I understand." The waiter wasn't seeing Wang Xu for the first time, and having received Bai Nongxin's instructions, he naturally knew what to do. He hastily exited the private room, took a stroll outside, and then walked back in with an order slip.
"The total is thirty-eight thousand five hundred and sixty-four." The waiter handed the bill to Wang Xu, saying softly.
"Whoa!" Hearing the price reported by the waiter, Tong Yu stumbled and almost fell over. He had already guessed that Wang Xu wasn't being so kind-hearted, but he didn't expect it to be here.
"How expensive!" Wang Xu deliberately frowned and asked the waiter.
"The dishes on the menu are all top-notch, and the prices have already been discounted." The waiter chimed in.
"Hmm, that's how it is." Wang Xu smacked his lips and then glanced at the bill. After a moment of deliberation, he said: "Fellow customer, you see these are all top-notch items, I'll give you some more face, take off the small change, and just charge 38,000 yuan, this is also a small business operation. We agreed on 20% discount, now it's already 30% off."
Yu's mouth twitched twice. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "One meal is over 30,000 yuan." Even if they went to a five-star hotel, it would be enough for these people, but Wang Xu was even more ruthless than them.
Although grumbling in his heart, he didn't dare say it out loud, and could only force a smile to say: "Brother, we left in a hurry and didn't bring that much money. We'll send some over later, what do you think?"
Wang Xu's face, which had been smiling, instantly fell: "Fellow student, you're taking advantage of me. We previously agreed on 20% off, but now I'm already giving you 30% off. If that's how it is, just say so and I'll give it to you for free."
"Brother, I didn't mean it that way, we really didn't bring so much money, we'll return it immediately." Along with Yu Liang wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, carefully accompanying him.
"It seems that you have made up your mind to eat at the tyrant's restaurant. As a restaurant owner, how dare I come to you for payment? Since it's like this, I can only report to the police and let them judge what is right." Wang Xu sighed.
"My goodness." Yu Glutinous Rice let out a mournful sigh in his heart, having seen shameless people before, but never one as shameless as this. If it weren't for the fact that the other party was Wang Xu, he would have really considered calling the police. But facing this person, if the police came, who would they side with? It's not like the lice on a bald head are hard to spot or anything.
"Brother, we really didn't plan on eating at a luxurious restaurant." Yu Liang said as he hastily pulled out money from his own body and called out to the others: "Don't just stand there, take out whatever money you have."
Listening to Tong Yu's call, the others also hastily pulled out their money. The total amount of money they had was just over 10,000 yuan, which was already the most they had ever carried with them when going out.
"Brother, just over 10,000 for now. I'll owe you the rest." Yu Nong handed over the money in his hand, along with a few small bills, and stuffed it all into the server's hands.
"Hmm, this is really putting me in a difficult position." Wang Xu smacked his lips and glanced at the money in the waiter's hand before hesitating for a moment and saying: "How about this? Today is the restaurant's opening day and I don't want to make a big deal out of it. Coincidentally, we're short-staffed, so why don't you folks help out with washing dishes or something, and consider that as payment for the leftover food?"
"I...". At these words, Yu and several others almost choked on their breath, feeling a blackness before their eyes. How could they possibly go wash dishes?
"Isn't that willing?" Wang Xu said with a stern face: "Our restaurant hires an aunt, and it's just over 1,000 yuan a month. Now you owe us 20,000 yuan, half a day is 20,000 yuan, isn't this a loss for me?"
"Yes, brother, you're right. We're willing to go wash the dishes." Yu Rong hastily nodded in agreement. Now it's a case of "the knife is under someone else's control and I'm just a piece of meat", when one is under another person's roof, one cannot help but lower their head.
"Then thank you, Comrade. You are indeed a good cadre for the people." Wang Xu's face suddenly lit up with joy, and he instructed the waiter beside him: "Take Comrade and his men to the kitchen now. Remember, our restaurant doesn't have many plates, don't let them break any. If they do break some, we'll charge them for it. Our plates are all high-quality, very valuable."
"Ugh!" Along with the leftover food, my legs went soft and I stumbled, hastily grabbing onto the table beside me to barely steady myself. After killing him, I didn't even want to see Wang Xu again; this guy was too disgusting.
Watching the crowd follow the waiter downstairs, Wang Xu nodded with a smile and grabbed a chicken leg from the table, gnawing on it as he headed downstairs.
Watching Wang Xu come down, Bai Nongxin stared at Tong Rula and others who walked to the back kitchen with their heads down, and asked with a smile: "Doctor Wang, what are you going to do with them this time?"
"They didn't bring enough money, washing dishes to pay off the bill." Wang Xu said casually while gnawing on a chicken leg.
"Ah!" Bai Nong News also stumbled, looking at Wang Xu with a bitter smile, letting these troubles go wash the dishes, it's really surprising he thought of that.
Yang Han was also covering her mouth and laughing secretly. She had never discovered that Wang Xu had this side before, it was disgusting, one set after another.
Luckily, Yang Han didn't know where the BMW came from. If she knew, she would probably laugh her head off. Looking at Wang Xu's honest face, he is absolutely not a person who follows rules and conventions. Otherwise, he wouldn't have caused so much trouble.
Wang Xu and the three of them chatted and laughed, while the restaurant's entrance started to see a sparse crowd of customers. A sign hung at the door read "Free today". It was a new restaurant, so some people came in to take a look. After all, who doesn't love free food?
Someone has arrived, and Wang Xu didn't disturb him either. He greeted Bainong Xinyu with a wave of his hand, then took out a prepared box and handed it over, saying: "Uncle Bai, this is my gift to you. I spent some time coming up with these medicinal cuisine recipes myself. With your culinary skills, they can be made into new dishes that will hopefully bring in some profits for the restaurant."
"Doctor Wang, I really don't know how to thank you enough. This gift is truly too valuable." Bai Nongxin hastily took it over and said gratefully.
Although Wang Xu sent only a few recipes, if they are done well, they can really become a signboard. In this era, scarce things are the most popular. Ordinary restaurants are all over the street, and to stand out, you need something new and unique.
"Uncle Bai, let's skip the formalities. If I can really be of help to you, then I'll be at ease." Wang Xu smiled and left the restaurant with Yang Han.
After leaving Xiangxiang Pavilion, Wang Xu and Yang Han returned to the clinic. There were not many people in the clinic, and Zhao Kai was a bit busy by himself, so Wang Xu hurried over to help out.
After Wang Xu and Yang Han left, a commotion occurred at Xiangxiang Pavilion. As soon as they walked out, several young men with an air of villainy entered the pavilion.
These young people came in and ordered a lot of dishes, specifically the most expensive ones. The five of them sat in the main hall, not in a private room, and ordered a whole table of food.
On the first day of the restaurant's opening, Bai Nongxin didn't say much, just smiled and greeted everyone, fulfilling all their requests. However, these few people were clearly not so easy to get rid of.
After eating and drinking enough, two of the young men suddenly clutched their stomachs and cried out. The leader, who had somehow produced a fly, slapped it on the table and shouted that Bai Nong's food was unclean and made them uncomfortable.
At this time, coincidentally, the same Yu grain was washing dishes in the back and wearing an apron to go to the toilet. Upon hearing this, he took a glance and found that it was some nearby hooligans causing trouble. He quickly walked up and slapped them hard, shouting: "Damn it! This restaurant, I've been quietly washing dishes in the back, you few idiots are so arrogant."
Several young men did not recognize Tong Yu Liang, so they naturally didn't dare to fight back. They were beaten until they cried out in pain. It wasn't until Tong Yu Liang had vented his anger that the leader of the young men cautiously asked: "Tong, what's wrong with you? Why are you wearing an apron?"
It's better if the other party doesn't mention this, but as soon as they open their mouth, they start fighting with Yu again, and a few thugs are beaten until they're dizzy and can't figure out what's going on, so they turn around and run away.
Others in the restaurant did not understand the situation, some of whom knew these thugs and couldn't help but applaud, seeing that even a dishwasher in someone else's restaurant was so powerful, they whispered to each other, and it became an interesting piece of news.
