Chapter 9 - Eat poor Xiaohai
“Hey, Ye Ran? Why don’t you come to eat yet!”
Xiao Hai has waited for Ye Ran for two hours, but Ye Ran has not yet appeared at the door of “Amei Hot Pot Restaurant”.
Thank you for this meal, Xiaohai will ask for it anyway.
“I’m at my own home, I’ll come later!”
“Why are you back to your residence? It’s so far there!” Xiao Hai was puzzled.
When Ye Ran just graduated from university, in order to save money, he rented it in a relatively remote Fang Lili apartment, which was still an hour away from the city.
“Stop talking nonsense, it will be there in ten minutes!” Ye Ran hung up the phone directly.
“Brother Ye can’t lie, how can I say that he is in his own home!”
Xiao Hai thought that Ye Ran was definitely not in his own home, how could he be there in ten minutes, even if he came in a sports car.
Ye Ran didn’t lie, he is now with the palace, and this place has been his home from today.
With the palace, it was less than ten kilometers away from Xiaohai’s meeting place. Ye Ran drove the supercar and arrived in less than 8 minutes.
Seeing that Ye Ran arrived so soon, Xiao Hai felt even more convinced that he was lying, but he would not go wrong.
This year, Ye Ran also had several blind dates, but the results were all unsatisfactory.
Those women still dislike Ye Ranqiong, who would have thought that Ye Ran is better than anyone else now.
The two ordered a large hot pot and started eating. Since Ye Ran drove and Xiao Hai didn’t know how to drink, they all drank black tea.
Having had dinner so late, both of them were starving, and they had a hearty chat while eating.
“Brother Ye, I promise to pay you the 100,000 yuan within two years!”
“You don’t have to save money to beg your wife? You owe the money first, I won’t forget it!”
“I’ve broken up with my girlfriend, and seeing the gangster made me wear a green hat.”
“If a woman is gone, you can look for it again. With me, you will be able to make your mark.”
“Brother Ye…you are my real brother, I really want to be your last name! Uuuuu…”
Xiao Hai couldn’t stop her tears and cried moved.
“Okay, okay, cry woolen yarn, come, replace wine with tea, drink!”
Ye Ran didn’t want to make the atmosphere, just like the soul chicken soup, good buddies just want to go straight to each other, and don’t play with those twitchy things.
If Xiao Hai is not decent and frank, once he loses Ye Ran’s approval, then he won’t borrow a cent from Xiao Hai.
This still dates back to when Ye Ran first came to work here, Xiao Hai was the master who led him to the beginning.
To be precise, after teaching Ye Ran for a day, Ye Ran became familiar with it easily.
The main thing is that Xiao Hai’s life in the world has been recognized by Ye Ran, and 100,000 yuan is a lot of money for ordinary people.
In this era of high consumption, even if many people earn 100,000 a year, if they don’t save money, they won’t be able to save for three years.
The hot pot here is very much in Ye Ran’s taste. After finishing Xiaohai’s order, Ye Ran ordered dozens of them on his own.
Xiao Hai stopped talking, but he really couldn’t speak. It wasn’t that he couldn’t afford to spend more money.
Instead, the food he ordered has exceeded his budget. Xiaohai just paid off the online loan of 100,000 yuan, but that was only the principal and the interest was more than 8,000 yuan.
In Xiao Hai’s pocket, there were now less than 300 yuan, but he did not expect that Ye Ran would eat this way today, far exceeding his usual appetite, which he never expected.
Xiao Hai was full of good food, but Ye Ran didn’t have enough food, so he went to order a lot of food on his own.
The main reason is that Ye Ran has been visiting his house for too long today, and now he is eating so late, and the hot pot here is really good, the most important thing is that he is in a good mood today.
To eat and drink, it’s time to pay and check out.
Xiaohai stood dry at the front desk, looking dumbfounded at the consumption amount that the proprietress told him.
The total consumption of the hot pot is 507 yuan, and the boss of 7 yuan said forget it, but he still can’t afford it if only 7 yuan is missing.
Xiaohai’s online credit information is very poor, so he can’t borrow them now.
Moreover, after the online usury loan was repaid, Xiaohai was no longer allowed to borrow. One can imagine how bad his current credit rating is.
“Sir, why don’t you pay 488 yuan, and you are welcome to come next time.” Seeing that Xiaohai didn’t pay, the lady boss thought Xiaohai would like to have more discounts.
The hot pot restaurant is very profitable. Just after Ye Ran ate such a hot pot meal, minus the labor costs and rent, she can earn 300 yuan stably.
“Can you have less, or 288, hehe!” Xiao Hai smiled awkwardly.
“What? Do you want to eat Bawang’s meal? My mother tells you that my cousin is at the police station. No one can eat free meals here!”
“Last time there was a **** who was like you. He was caught by my cousin and detained for a few months. I will give you five minutes. If you don’t pay, I will call the police!”
As expected of the wife of a hot pot restaurant, she is indeed much more angry than the average person.
Xiao Hai was so frightened under her loud voice that she didn’t dare to say anything. How should this be good, I’m too difficult!
“What’s wrong, Xiaohai!”
Ye Ran, who was standing outside the door waiting for Xiao Hai, waited for almost 10 minutes, but still didn’t see Xiao Hai coming out, so he came in and took a look.
As soon as I walked in, I saw the little turtle standing at the front desk of the hot pot restaurant with her neck curled up.
“Your friend wants to eat Bawang’s meal, I want to report him!” The proprietress pointed at Xiaohai angrily.
“Don’t talk nonsense, who said I won’t pay, I just want to ask you less?” Xiaohai argued for reason.
“You spent 507 yuan. I gave you a discount to 488 yuan. You are not satisfied. You want me to discount it to 288 yuan. What is it for you to eat Bawang meal?”
The boss’s words made Xiaohai unable to get off the table.
Ye Ran did not speak any more, but silently took out his phone and opened WeChat.
“drop!”
Ye Ran scanned the QR code at the front desk.
“Your account has been paid…507 yuan!” Ye Ran didn’t miss a penny.
The sound of the payment arrived, and the lady boss, who had a tight face, immediately looked at Ye Ran with a smile on her face.
“Look at your friend who looks like a bear. How can you be so handsome and charming? With your loyal performance today, Sister Mei will treat you to a meal next time. Next time you come with this coupon. Yes.” Ma Hongmei gave Ye Ran a hot pot restaurant meal coupon.
This is how you do business. When it is time to be bold, you must be bold, so as to attract a good reputation from customers.
To make a big business, word of mouth is needed to fill it.
Ye Ran took a look at the meal voucher given by Ma Hongmei, and it said “free three-person set meal”. This set meal also has some regulations.
It’s not that you can order any food or wine, but they are all within the corresponding range.
For example, you can order Snow Beer at will, but you can’t order those Wuliangye, you can only buy it with money.
This is also a reasonable marketing activity. Otherwise, those who hold free coupons can eat and drink as they like here, so don’t worry about Ma Hongmei.
“Thanks, lady boss, I will come back again if I have a chance!” Ye Ran replied politely.
