Chapter 133: Persuasion
Waiting is like suffering.
People waiting in line outside would look into the store through the glass wall from time to time.Everyone inside was chatting enthusiastically, as if they were having a great time eating, with no intention of ending.
"Forget it, I won't wait any longer!"
"I'm No. 13 in line, and the people in front of me haven't waited yet. I wonder when it will be my turn?"
"Can't wait any longer!"
"You guys line up slowly, I'll leave first!"
"I'm leaving too!"
"..."
Finally, some people were unwilling to wait, especially those customers at the back. They saw that no one came out of the store, and there were so many people queuing in front. They estimated that when it was their turn, noon would have passed, so they left first. .
But some people are still insisting.
"It's been so long, it's time to come out!"
"I really don't know what those people are doing. They are having such a hard time eating!"
"Yeah, I've been eating for more than an hour!"
"Wait a minute!"
"It's really annoying, I'm almost hungry!"
"I'll wait a few more minutes at most. If no one comes out yet, I'm leaving!"
"..."
Although some people still insisted on waiting in line, they no longer had the initial peace and were complaining and appearing anxious.
Lao Zhang and the young man with long hair also entered the store again and asked Xu Qingqing.
"Boss, how long will it take?"
"Boss, we have been waiting for almost an hour and a half. Why does it take so long? Please help us ask the first customer to come in!"
Xu Qingqing apologized repeatedly, "Gentlemen, I'm really sorry. I just went to check every table, and they seemed...not willing to leave the table yet."
The young man with long hair suddenly became popular.
"Boss, what do you mean?"
"In other words, we still have to wait!"
"You don't know how long it will take, right?"
Xu Qingqing said: "Sir, I'm really sorry. The guests won't leave the table. I...there's really nothing I can do!"
The long-haired young man was still angry and said angrily: "What do they mean by occupying the table for so long?"
"Boss, can't you ask?"
Xu Qingqing looked embarrassed. She had already seen that the customers eating in the restaurant today were very strange, but how could she ask about this?
Since ancient times, restaurant owners have probably never urged their customers to eat faster because they eat slowly, right?
After thinking for a while, he said to the young man who was eating: "Sir, I really can't help you today. Why don't you stop waiting today? These guests still... don't know when they will finish their meal!"
"What?" When the young man who was eating heard Xu Qingqing telling him not to wait, he became even more angry, "I've been waiting for more than an hour, and you told me not to wait!"
"Boss, what do you mean?"
Xu Qingqing said quickly: "Sir, today is indeed a problem in our store. I'm sorry for wasting your time!"
"How about I give you a discount next time you come to eat again?"
The young man with long hair said: "The food in your restaurant is not expensive, and I can't afford it. What discount do you want?"
"I just want to eat!"
After all, Lao Zhang was getting old. He thought of the few times someone was looking for trouble in Se Shihe's junk shop. Looking at today's situation, he could tell that something was fishy. He sighed inwardly and advised the long-haired young man: "Brother, Forget it, the boss also has boss difficulties, let’s go!”
The long-haired young man looked at Lao Zhang in astonishment, "You seem to be a customer waiting in line too, why did you help her talk!"
Lao Zhang said: "Yes, I have waited longer than you!"
The long-haired young man said: "Then you still speak for the boss? We should ask the boss to solve our problems together!"
Lao Zhang put a hand on the long-haired young man's shoulder and said, "Go, I'll tell you when you get out!"
While pulling the long-haired young man out, he turned back to Xu Qingqing and said, "Boss, I won't wait today!"
Xu Qingqing said gratefully: "Sir, thank you for your understanding!"
"fine!"
Lao Zhang said something and had already brought the long-haired young man to the outside of the store. Then he said softly: "Can't you see? Those eating in the store today are all young people. They are probably looking for trouble..."
what?
The young man who was eating was surprised and turned back to look into the store.
After taking a look at the situation in the store, and combined with Lao Zhang's words, he also felt something strange, and said: "I mean, why is it so late? It turns out it was intentional!"
Lao Zhang continued: "So, if you ask the boss to rush them, it will be useless!"
The long-haired young man said angrily: "What should we do? Are we waiting in vain?"
Lao Zhang sighed: "Otherwise? What can we do?"
Patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go, no need to wait any longer!"
After speaking, he greeted the four people who came with him, "Old Chen, what should we do? We can't wait today."
Several of his companions stood up, and Lao Chen said: "Lao Zhang, what happened? You have been waiting for more than an hour and you are leaving now?"
Lao Zhang said: "No more talking, let's eat together as a family!"
Lao Chen and the others all shook their heads and followed Lao Zhang away.
The young man with long hair also called to the woman in blue skirt and others, and said, "Let's go too, we can't wait today."
"I've been waiting for more than an hour, and it's all in vain!"
"That's right, I'm already hungry!"
"Why is this!"
“If I had known it, I wouldn’t have eaten here!”
"If I had known I couldn't wait, I should have left earlier!"
"Then where are we going to eat now?"
"..."
The woman in the blue dress and her group complained as they left.
When the customers in the queue at the back saw the first two groups leaving, some also left, while others were happy and moved forward, thinking they could eat earlier.
At this moment, Xu Qingqing walked out with a cigarette in her hand.
"Dear guests, I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting for so long today!"
"Come on, have a cigarette!"
Xu Qingqing said something to the customers who were still waiting in line, and then walked over to smoke one by one.
What was given was a pack of 4 yuan and 2 pieces of Yellow Crane Tower.
"The boss is polite!"
"Thank you!"
"Thank you, I don't smoke!"
"..."
The smoker accepted the cigarette happily, while the non-smoker also refused with a smile.
After a circle of smoke was released, Xu Qingqing came back and spoke again: "Everyone, I'm really sorry today. The customers in the store took a long time to eat, and judging from their appearance, it seems that they will have to eat for a long time."
"Some of you have to go to work in the afternoon after eating. I suggest that you don't wait any longer, so as not to delay everyone's time to go to work."
"Besides, everyone is getting hungry too!"
"There's really no need to wait here any longer!"
"I would like to say sorry to everyone again for wasting everyone's time!"
With that said, he bowed to all the guests who were still waiting.
