The casual life of the flat space

The shopkeeper came out from behind the counter and stood in front of Bai Tieying. But Bai Tieying was still on the bench, so he was a head shorter than Bai Tieying and had to look up at her. But he didn't care about that at this time, and quickly apologized to Bai Tieying: "Don't be angry, young lady, it's all my fault, Caitou, why don't you come over and apologize to the young lady!"

Cai Tou was the tea master, and seeing the shopkeeper saying so, he naturally apologized to Bai Tieying. But Bai Tieying didn't say anything, just stood on the bench with his arms crossed and pouted, which seemed like he was bullying someone.

The shopkeeper quickly said, "Well, I wonder which private room did you use last time? Would you mind arranging another private room for you this time? And would you mind giving you two fruits and two cold dishes as a gift to calm your nerves?"

"Humph! That's more like it. If my uncle Zhao hadn't said that we should eat here next time, I wouldn't have given you the chance to apologize. Last time, just half a month ago, Uncle Zhao and Big Brother Li had lunch with me and Shopkeeper Zhang in the private room of 'Weiwei Tangtang'."

"Hiss..." The shopkeeper gasped. Half a month ago, the majestic and powerful... That was General Li invited by Shopkeeper Zhang of Chunfu Hall! At that time, General Zhao did come, but he sat for a while and then left...

He originally thought that in front of so many guests, he would first coax the little girl into a good mood, and if she lied, he would take her to a place where no one was around and give her a lesson. But now he remembered that there was indeed a little girl at that time... He couldn't remember her appearance, and her clothes were wrong, but everything was right! What's more, compared to offending the restaurant owner, offending General Zhao would cost you your head!

"Young lady, you are right. This is indeed our fault. So, to express our apology, we will treat you to a meal at Zhiyinlou!"

"Bah! Who asked you to treat me? Do you think we are poor people who are out to get free food? I am in a good mood today, so I will serve you all the delicious food and drinks. If you don't serve me well..."

"I am an old man with no vision and I don't mean what I say. Please don't be angry, young lady. So, there was someone in that box last time. Would you like to go to the 'E'E Yang Yang' one?"

"Humph, since you are so sincere, I'll let it go this time. Otherwise, I'll go to a different restaurant to dine with Uncle Zhao next time."

"Hey, young lady, you're right. I'll have someone prepare the food for you right away. Garlic, come and serve everyone upstairs."

"Father-in-law, please come this way. Young lady, please come this way..." Another tea doctor led the four people upstairs and into the private room. After asking about the taboos, he came out and reported to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, these four people ordered sixteen dishes, plus the ones we gave them, that's twenty dishes in total, and they also ordered four jars of Mengyao wine."

"Hmph, go ahead and fight them. If they are fake, they will have to spit out whatever they ate! Go and take good care of them and listen to what they have to say."

This meal was naturally uneventful. When the shopkeeper saw the silver on the table, his mouth almost twitched, and he secretly thought that it was fortunate that he did not act impulsively. He also packed two boxes of snacks for Bai Tieying to take away.

After the four of them came out, Bai Tieying found a deserted place and threw the two jars of wine for Grandpa Wu and the half jar of wine that Uncle hadn't finished, as well as the snacks, into the space. There was no other food left, and it was not packed. This Zhiyin Restaurant was not at all like the style of northern cuisine in the original world, and it was far different from the restaurant that Uncle had taken her to before. Each dish was a little bit in the middle, and twenty dishes were just right for the four of them.

Bai Tieying didn't have to get angry with the tea doctor, but if she spoke in a nice tone, it would only attract more ridicule. She would just fight back against the big store's bullying of customers, no matter who was behind it, she wouldn't be the one hurt anyway.

Uncle smiled and said nothing the whole time, while Dafu and Bai Tiexiong did whatever their master or sister told them to do without dragging their feet. Bai Tieying felt very relieved. Yes, she was provoked by General Zhao again, so she just apologized and turned around to "raise the flag" again. The main idea was "I'm sorry, please forgive me, I'll do it again next time!"

A few of them were strolling back. When they passed by Bafangke, the uncle suddenly remembered that the proprietress had gone to the clinic to look for Bai Tieying, so he told her about it.

"Uncle, have you seen her...physique? Do you have any prescription to help her? She is also a pitiful person. I will tell you in detail later."

"Humph, she is still ignorant and incompetent! Don't you know that 'doctors don't knock on doors' and 'the one who rushes to help is not a good deal'? If she is interested, let her go to the clinic herself."

"Yes, yes, uncle is right. Then you go ahead. I'll go see her and then buy some things. If it's late at night, you don't have to wait for me to eat."

"You just run around like crazy every day. Our Iron Bear is still very obedient. Come on, uncle will take you to the West Market for a stroll!"

"Uncle, walk slowly! Tiexiong, listen to your uncle! Hold hands tightly and don't get lost!"

"I know, sister. Come back early in the evening!"

Bai Tieying watched the three people leave, thought for a while, put some things in the backpack and went to the door of Bafangke. I didn't miss Zhou Shuqin very much. She had gone to the clinic. If I really wanted to thank her, it wouldn't be difficult to get her address. The main reason was that I missed her last time and didn't finish eating the melon. Today I have to finish eating the melon to make the melon life complete.

The waiter at the door came to greet him listlessly. He was a little more energetic when he heard that he was looking for the boss. Bai Tieying thought, "There must be something going on here," but he also followed him to the private room upstairs. After sitting for a long time, no waiter came to pour tea or water. Instead, Zhou Shuqin came first.

"Sister Tieying is here. I'm late!" Zhou Shuqin came in hurriedly and said to Bai Tieying with a smile. She turned around and shouted outside the box, "Sanzi, Sanzi, serve the tea!" Then she sat down next to Bai Tieying, took Bai Tieying's hand and said:

"How are you, sister Tieying? I went to the South City Clinic and got your address. I wanted to go there the next day, but I didn't expect... I was wrong. How about I treat you to a simple meal to make amends?"

"You're welcome, sister. I've already had lunch. You and I get along well, so why should I need you to apologize? I just came into the city this morning and finished my business in the afternoon. I passed by here and missed you, so I came to see you."

At this time, the waiter brought in the snacks. Zhou Shuqin did not bother to be polite with her and started to order tea. Seeing this, Bai Tieying also took out the things she brought from her backpack and said with a smile: "Sister, it just so happens that I brought you some mountain products from the village. I think they can match your snacks!"

"Hey, these are pear sticks, cherry pancakes, and ringo preserves... What are these three things?"

"This is lantern fruit jam, this is dried persimmon, and this is canned apricot meat." Bai Tieying introduced them to Zhou Shuqin one by one with a smile.
