Chapter 178 What a Good Idea
Chapter 178 This is a good idea
Although Li Mancang yelled loudly, and even some waiters stopped him, there were so many people rushing in that few people listened to him.
In desperation, Li Mancang grabbed an old beggar who rushed in to grab something and scolded him loudly: "What's the matter with you? An old beggar came to my place to grab something to eat? Get out of here! Get away!" "
The old beggar was also unwilling to be outdone and fiercely pushed away Li Mancang's hand that grabbed his clothes.
"Open your eyes and see who I am! You said that anyone who has eaten in your restaurant before can come. I thought I was in good times and ate at your restaurant a lot. Get out of the way. !”
Li Mancang staggered when he pushed him, but the man had already ran out with the food and food, shouting loudly as he ran: "This Li Mancang is not kind. He keeps saying that he will give people food for free, but he actually drives them away. I guess It’s free today, but tomorrow there will be nothing! Everyone, hurry up and get it!”
The old beggar's words made everyone even more crazy.
Especially when the people at the back saw that the people inside were frantically grabbing things and there wasn't much left in the restaurant, they became even crazier.
They no longer had to worry about so much. They grabbed whatever was on the table and ran to the kitchen if there was nothing on the table. They also grabbed everything that had not been cooked in the kitchen and ran away.
Li Mancang looked at this scene, his legs went weak, and he staggered back two steps. If it weren't for the guy beside him, he might have collapsed on the ground.
"This, these are all a bunch of unruly people, unruly people!"
People outside who didn't grab anything stood at the door and cursed, saying that he didn't keep his word.
The person who grabbed the thing also scolded him for being stingy. Now Li Mancang is really a pig looking in the mirror. He is no longer a human being inside and outside.
However, within a short time, the restaurant was already in a mess.
There were only leftovers on the ground that had been robbed and scattered.
Li Mancang watched this scene blankly, but there were still many people sitting on stools in the room waiting.
It was obvious that his food, his plates, and even his kitchen had been looted.
But those standing at the door and sitting in the restaurant were still dissatisfied.
What's more, while picking his teeth, he asked him: "Boss Li, you said you have eaten enough in the past two days. I just ate a chicken drumstick here today and the food was gone. Do you need to arrange a kitchen for me?" Continue to do it for us? If you don’t do it, I won’t leave today.”
The people at the door also started cheering: "Yes, if we don't get enough to eat today, we won't leave!"
"Isn't this a lie, Boss Li? It was said to be free, but when I came there wasn't even a leftover leaf!"
"Let's go, let's go. I think this boss can't afford it. If he can't afford it, just stand up and apologize to us. A few words from us will be enough."
Everyone said something to each other, and the shouts at the door became louder.
"Yes, you must compensate us, right?"
"You are committing fraud!"
Everyone in the audience said something to each other, and Li Mancang finally came to his senses.
He staggered to his feet and stretched out his hands to signal everyone to be quiet: "Everyone, be quiet and don't make any noise. Although I, Li Mancang, am not that rich, I can still afford to treat everyone to a meal."
"But you have also seen that my restaurant looks like it was ransacked by bandits. Even the vegetables and meat in my kitchen were taken away. Why don't you just calm down and come in and sit down? I'll ask the chef to Just keep cooking."
The shopkeeper next to him was frightened when he heard this.
They originally thought that only a hundred people would come to eat today, so the amount they prepared was just for one hundred people. But now all the ingredients were snatched away, and they quickly reminded: "Shopkeeper, we don't have any ingredients."
If I still treat them to free food, I’m afraid it won’t be enough even if I buy it three or four times.”
Li Mancang glared at him fiercely: "Nosy, I've already said what I said. If you don't fulfill your promise, who knows what will happen to these people. Eat, let them eat."
When the shopkeeper heard this, he didn't know what to say.
When the people surrounding the door heard this, they felt that they had something to eat, and they all waved their hands to indicate that this method was okay.
Within a short time, the upper and lower floors of the restaurant were already filled with people.
When the shopkeeper saw this, he felt even more headache.
Li Mancang felt his heart bleed, and said to the shopkeeper: "Hurry up and tell the chef to bring good wine and good food."
The shopkeeper looked mournful: "But the kitchen doesn't even have a grain of rice..."
Li Mancang couldn't bear it. He didn't believe it, so he went into the back kitchen to see for himself. Sure enough, not even a grain of rice was left in the rice vat in the back kitchen.
The cooks all had depressed faces. Li Mancang held his forehead and waved his hands and said: "That's all. If we run out of vegetables, we'll buy them. If we run out of meat, we'll buy them too. Shopkeeper He, take the money and these accounts.
I've memorized everything."
In response to the shopkeeper's response, he could only call the cook and take the money to buy vegetables.
After Qin Zhiyi finished drinking a pot of tea with Fei Chengsheng, he saw many people rushing over from Fuman Building.
Everyone looked unhappy. Seeing this situation, Qin Zhiyi had already roughly guessed what had happened, and sure enough, he soon saw Ah Xi climbing up from downstairs again.
"Madam, Madam, I heard that the Fuman Building is very lively. Everyone has snatched up the food on the table. There are still many people who are lingering around without eating. The Fuman Building is planning to take people away.
I left it all for them to eat as they are about to go out to buy groceries."
Qin Zhiyi nodded and asked, "How about our business downstairs?"
After hearing this, Ah Xi's smile immediately disappeared.
"Our downstairs... guests coming in total no more than ten fingers."
After listening to Ah Xi's words, she didn't look anxious at all. Instead, she said to Ah Xi: "Invite Ah Shou, A Lu, and A Fu to sell the vegetables we piled up. Go now and be quick.
.”
Hearing this, Ah Xi's eyes suddenly lit up: "Okay, madam, I'll go now!"
After Ah Xi left, Fei Chengsheng also looked at her: "This is really a clever plan. I guess Fumanlou didn't expect so many people to come. Since there are so many people coming, they must purchase in large quantities."
It’s up to him whether he buys vegetables and meat, but he must buy vegetables.”
Qin Zhiyi took over his words and said: "Well, since we don't have many guests here, the dishes will easily become stale if left unattended, so we might as well sell them and let Li Mancang entertain his guests these two days."
"This is a good idea."
For two consecutive days, Fumanlou entertained guests for free.
Because he had already spoken out, and because businessmen are based on honesty, Li Mancang gritted his teeth in the past two days, but still opened the door to let those people eat and drink.
When the shopkeeper counted the money to see how much he had lost in the past two days, when the shopkeeper reported the number, Li Mancang had a heart attack.
"What did you say? Five, five hundred taels? In just two days, those people actually took five hundred taels of silver from me?"
