4736 Capital Beggar
"Goongbang... Isn't it bad luck? Do you understand the rules? At the critical moment when the distinguished guest came to the door, blocking the door and begging for food? Are you asking for a beg for a beg..."
The young man from the restaurant rushed over and pulled the beggar who was kowtowing and was about to take action. It was reasonable to say that he was doing it. There were many rules in the capital, and there were also rules among beggars.
For example, if you don’t ask for breakfast, you can’t beg for food in one household for three consecutive days. If you give money, you can’t give money. If you don’t give money, you can’t bother with both... and it’s not that it can’t affect the business of the merchant.
These are all unwritten rules. According to the conventions of beggars, in addition to singing wedding songs and hitting lotus flowers, they can even go into the house to beg for food.
For other beggars who do not have this ability, you can only go to the back door to beg for food, or kowtow in a place next to the main door that is not in trouble and not allowed to speak!
Moreover, when others are in a prosperous business, you cannot interfere with others' business when there are many customers. When the boss is in a good mood, he will naturally appreciate you a little.
Want to go into the house to beg for food? At least you have to be able to sing joyful songs, sing the lotus fall with the beef bones, so that the guests and the boss will be happy, and they will naturally be rewarded with joy.
Today, the beggars who were blocking the restaurant were completely a bastard. At noon, the streets were shouting acquaintances and familiar guests. The rich and powerful bannermen were constantly communicating. They could count on each one.
When you are busy, you are a begging for food and kneeling at the door to disappoint you? Are you asking for a fight?
Several guys were about to beat someone up when they went up. At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded on the side of the road, "Stop... Why hit someone? He is just a beggar... He can't hit someone even if he doesn't give him anything!"
The sound was so strange that several guys shrank their necks as soon as they heard it, thinking that this was someone they couldn't afford to offend!
Why? Because this person speaks strangely, without Erhua or four tones, you don’t have to look back and you will know that this is a foreigner!
Sure enough, a rickshaw parked on the side of the road, and a big-nose foreigner wearing a suit and hunting suit walked down with a civilized stick.
There are officials in the restaurant hall who serve in six ministries. Someone whispered, "British... Delaney, the military officer of the British Embassy... This person can't be provoked, he can't be provoked... The boss asked you guys to restrain yourself, it's hard to mess with the British big nose!"
Not to mention the big nose of the UK, no country's big nose is easy to mess with. Nowadays, the foreigners and the Japanese in the capital are the most arrogant, and they walk like crabs.
The boss quickly went over to disperse the guy, clasped his fists at Delaney and said, "Master Foreigner! Thank you for your hard work... I'll give you a thousand!"
"It's not that we are unreasonable, but these beggars don't understand the rules... At noon, when we are at the busiest time of our business, we should not block the main entrance, not speak, and not affect the distinguished guests!"
"After we entertained the guests, we would share the remaining leftovers with him... Where can the guests come to beg for food before they finish eating?"
"I have not said that it has affected our business, and this beggar has never heard of the new meals. Isn't it all leftovers of the guests!"
Delaney shook his head, "I don't care about your rules, I just care about my heart... Give them a new meal... and count it on my account..."
Delaney bent down and said to the scared beggar, trembling all over, "Don't be afraid... A steaming food will be delivered in a while! Where are you from? Why have you become a beggar..."
Several middle-aged and older beggars kowtowed and said, "Thank you... Thank you... Master Foreigner... We built the road for the Jinghan Railway..."
"I was living a good life... I accidentally smashed the stones... A few stones rolled down the pile of stones... and our legs were broken..."
"We don't have idle people on the construction site, and if we can't work, we won't have food... We have no money anymore, and we can't go back home, so we can only stay in the capital to beg for food..."
"We don't know anything...I don't know the rules...I've been raising our hands..."
The people around him suddenly sighed. You can tell by saying this. It turned out that the civilian who built the railway was injured and disabled. He had no money to go home. Maybe it was difficult to go home!
The boss sighed, "Hey... why didn't you say earlier? Since you are not a professional beggar, I don't blame you if you don't understand the truth... The kitchen is in the kitchen! Decorate them with some food!"
"It's a sin... It's really a good thing to build a railway and a factory, but it's too difficult for disabled people!"
Some of the guests in the lobby said disapprovingly, "Everything is fate! A poor person will be poor in his life! What's wrong with the construction site?"
"He is destined to have this disaster, so he can't hide! The construction site will not be injured, and they will not be injured in their hometown? Are there any sprained ankles in farming?"
"You have to be careful, shopkeeper... I think you are a little aggressive in the court. I blame the poor man for his life on the construction site? Is it the emperor?"
"Be careful of the lawsuit! These people can still ask for some hot meals in the capital... Do you know that many mountain villages in Shanxi, Zhili University, and many mountain villages have been sealed off recently!"
"Even if they go home, their lives will not last... It's better to beg for food in the capital! They will freeze to death when they go home..."
The shopkeeper quickly smiled and slapped his face with his hands, "Oh... Mr. Sun! Mr. Sun, what you said... I'm just a broken mouth, and I'm talking nonsense!"
"Don't be as good as me. How dare I say that the court is not good! The emperor is even more wise. Only with the emperor can we have the prosperity of our current business!"
"Give Mr. Sun a pot of good flower sculptures... My daughter is so red! It's given on the cabinet!"
After comforting the provocative guest, the shopkeeper turned around and looked at the military officer Delani still had no intention of leaving and quickly said, "Master Foreigner...but is going to have a meal?"
"Well... I want to host a banquet for my friends, please give me a small private room on the second floor!"
"Oh... Lord Foreigner is here, and the brilliance is shining... Please invite the private room on the second floor!"
"Our British guests will come soon, so you can take him to the second floor..." After saying that, Delaney stepped up to the second floor under the gaze of many Qing people.
After Delaney disappeared at the stairs, the flagsmen in the hall muttered, "This is not an ordinary British devil, a military officer in the embassy, and a rank official!"
"He wants to treat him? He doesn't go to the embassy to treat him. Come here to invite him? Don't have any conspiracy?"
People did not dare to talk loudly, but they were full of doubts. After a while, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded at the door, and three war horses stopped at the entrance of the restaurant with flying snow.
The sharp-eyed man immediately took a breath of air conditioning, "Oh... why is this master?"
I saw two soldiers from Xishan Camp surrounded by a tall foreign devil, who were also wearing Xishan Camp's officer uniforms and surrounded by the boss and went up to the second floor.
