NOVEL NEXT Chapter 205 Beating the Lao Lai
"I don't know about robbing the rich and giving to the poor, but he dared to steal fruits from the magistrate's house, so he is a bit bold. Let's go back to the shop first."
Mu Zhiyuan had never seen this so-called strange thief, and he didn't want this arrogant person to target Shui Xi.
The two of them returned to the candy shop together. When the cook A Yuan saw Mao Xi, he ran over in a hurry and said anxiously: "Shopkeeper, you are back. There are many people here today, and the shop will run out of ice cubes."
Mao Xi took his time and came to the kitchen alone.
She turned around and entered the portable space, grabbing some pre-frozen ice cubes and milk ice from the freezing area.
At the same time, Mao Xi also opened the virtual mall and prepared to buy some cassava flour for making desserts.
The virtual projection in front of me turned gray, and a line of words popped up:
When the mall was upgraded before, it did not affect purchases in the mall. This was the first time the system had been updated, and Shu Xi was in trouble for a while.
For now, I can only make my own cassava flour. Fortunately, there is still some cassava flour in stock in the shop, and there are some cassava grown in the fields. I don’t know how long this system update will last.
Seeing that ice cubes were available and the urgent need was solved, A Yuan went to the kitchen to work alone.
At this time, a diner in the shop got up and was about to leave. He walked towards the waiter Atang and said with a sly look: "Second brother, I don't have any money with me today, so I'll give it to you on credit. After two months, I'll join you." How about checkout?”
"I'm sorry, sir, the shop does not offer credit." Atang replied cautiously. Shui Xi had explained that the Tang Shui Shop does not provide credit.
The diner touched a tuft of hair on a big black mole at the corner of his mouth, rolled his eyes, and suddenly slapped his palm on the table: "Your store is really a small shop. Can't I get the credit first and pay the money later? What about Fan Lou and Other snack shops have given me credit, and it’s not like I won’t pay back the money, but I just don’t have it with me right now.”
Ma Xi heard the noise in the shop and came to the diner: "Sir, our shop is a small business. I hope you can understand. If you want to pay on credit, please send someone to send you two taels of silver to cover the next two months." We will automatically deduct the fee, so you don’t have to worry about paying every time.”
Mu Zhiyuan's face darkened, and he stood behind Shu Xi. He glanced at the diner coldly, making him shiver.
"Isn't it just a bowl of sugar water? I'll give it to you. You're a small store, but it's really narrowing the road. Do you understand the pattern?" The diner dropped 10 copper coins, swayed his fat body, and walked out of the shop.
Mao Xi snorted inwardly, wasn't she fed enough of the "pattern" pie before she traveled through time?
The aunt on the side came close to Ma Xi and said coquettishly: "Shopkeeper, you are doing well. That rogue is named Masan. He used to have a rich family, but he is used to idleness every day. He has to be careful about food, clothing and travel, and his wealth is fast." He was completely ruined, and he still hasn’t paid off credit cards from several shops. He’s an old deadbeat!”
When the aunt said this, the uncle beside her couldn't sit still: "I heard that he owed Fanlou two months of food money. Fanlou asked him to ask for it. He insisted on paying for February and had to wait until there were two moons in the sky. I only paid it back at that time, so I was stuck with the debt indefinitely.”
Mao Xi didn't expect that those who wanted to eat the King's meal could refuse to pay back the money on credit!
"I see, then I have to keep an eye on him. Next time he comes to our shop again, I will ask the waiter to kick him out."
Masan hummed a little tune and walked to the east stage to listen to the music. The old opera troupe took the little yellow warbler to sing again in Kaitang County.
The song "Ode to the Pear Blossom" was heart-breaking and moved all the audience.
During the break, the old troupe held a plate to accept various rewards. Those who had money would throw in silver and copper plates, and those who didn't have money would give away their own rice noodles or domestic chickens.
Xiao Huangying walked to the center of the stage and bowed to everyone to thank them.
This Ma San was hairless and quite lustful. When the little Huang Ying was taking her curtain call, she walked to the edge of the stage.
Only one step away from Masan, he suddenly rushed onto the stage and threw Xiao Huangying to the ground.
Xiao Huangying was so frightened that she fell to the ground and fainted. The troupe leader and several martial arts students rushed over and pulled Masan away.
The people in the audience poked at Ma San San and pushed him out.
"Isn't this the old Lai Masan who ate on credit but refused to pay?"
"This Masan, he doesn't do his job all day long, he just wants to take advantage of others."
Ma San spat on the ground: "Bah! How about I give him a hug when I fall in love with a singer? If my great-grandfather were here, why not take him back to his room and become a concubine?"
He walked alone under the stone archway at the bridgehead and saw no one around. He took out a pear blossom hairpin from his arms that he had just thrown down the little yellow warbler.
"Hmph! I got the hug and the hairpin. Hey, hey, let's go to the pawn shop and see how much money we can pawn."
Masan was stroking the pear blossom hairpin when a stone fell from a height. Masan let out an "ouch" and let go of his hand in pain.
A branch of pear jumped down from the height of the stone archway and picked up the fallen pear hairpin.
Before Masan could react, he was kicked into the river by Yi Zhili.
"You old bastard, don't dirty this hairpin!"
In the stage accounting room, the little Huangying who woke up was disassembling her head and face.
"Oh, my hairpin is gone. That damn scoundrel just got away. What should I do?"
Just when the little yellow warbler was worried, the pear blossom hairpin flew in from outside the tent and was accurately inserted into the wig bag on her head.
The little yellow warbler looked outside the tent, but no one was there.
Although Masan knew some about water, there were no stone steps to the shore by the bridge, so he could only swim towards the ferry alone.
Mo Xia, who came from the stage, wanted to punish Masan, but she happened to see a masked young man in dark green clothes push Masan into the river, so she did not do anything.
She took a long pole and kept slapping Masan in the water. When she saw that he wanted to go ashore, she rushed to the river.
This scoundrel should be allowed to take another dip in the river.
After playing with Ma San, Mo Xia went to Xiao Huangying's tent and saw that her hairpin had been returned to its original owner.
"That guy just now seems to be the little thief from Yizhili."
