See you in the world

Chapter 37 Maybe bees have their own ideas?

"what happened?"

There were no customers in the restaurant at noon, and the movement at the door alarmed the owner who was behind the counter to settle the accounts. When Yunjing and the others entered the restaurant, the owner raised his head and asked.

The boss was a middle-aged man in his forties who was wearing a gray robe, holding a pen in one hand and looking at Yunjing and the others while pressing the ledger in the other.

Xiao Er first arranged Yunlin and his grandson to sit down, and then quickly walked over to explain the whole story.

After listening, the boss patted Xiaoer on the shoulder and scolded with a smile: "You bastard, you made a judgment based on the first impression. Forget it this time"

"What the boss taught me is that I will definitely pay attention next time," Xiao Er hurriedly apologized.

Don't look at Xiaoer who is just a part-time worker in this restaurant, but this job is not easy to find. Although he is doing the work of serving people, he is paid for it, and working in a restaurant does not worry about starvation, which is countless The farmer is much better off after eating the last meal without the next meal. He doesn't want to offend the boss and lose his job because of such a trivial matter.

The boss nodded in satisfaction and said: "We are open for business. Although it is a small business, it is just like being a human being. Always remember to be kind to others for a long time. You are a customer when you come to the door, regardless of high or low. There is absolutely no reason to reject customers. , if you turn them away today, although it seems like a small business with only a bowl of porridge, but with such signs, one day in the future, you will definitely turn away other guests because of bad mood or other reasons, Is the business still possible? It’s the same principle of being a human being, don’t just rely on your personal preferences and first impressions to make enemies with people, it’s not good.”

"Keep in mind the teachings of the master", Xiaoer nodded sincerely again.

Then the boss said with satisfaction: "Go to work..."

Not far away, Yun Jing also heard the boss's words, and was quite surprised. The boss seemed to be a good teacher, but what he said was true. Being kind to others takes a long time. Obviously, the boss has a lot of knowledge about the way of life. My own opinion.

Looking at the way he holds the pen, he should have read the book. Scholars often like to explain the truth to others, as if not doing so is not enough to show off their knowledge, Yun Jing immediately felt relieved.

Looking at the counter, Yun Jing looked away from the boss, and unexpectedly found that there was missing a tool that should be necessary for every counter in his memory.

There was no abacus on the counter.

In the hands of the boss are bamboo sticks of different lengths, as if they are his calculation tools.

"Isn't there even an abacus in this world?" Yun Jing wondered, but he didn't ask, because this wasn't something he should ask at his age or as a farmer's kid.

Keeping this in mind, if this world really has no calculations, Yunjing reckons that this great 'invention' will be born from his hands one day in the future, probably, if he still remembers this at that time...

Yunlin had lived half his life, and he had never been in a restaurant before. This time, he felt uncomfortable sitting in the restaurant, and he was extremely reserved, and he was a little restless as if there were nails growing under his buttocks.

Seeing him like this, Yun Jing was quite upset. If he had known that he would starve like this, it wasn't that he had any complaints about this store, it was just that he couldn't bear to see Grandpa embarrassing.

Fortunately, the waiter in the store brought two bowls of porridge, put it down and said, "Please take it easy, if you have any orders, I will be at the door."

After speaking, Xiao Er took two steps back and prepared to leave.

Yun Lin stood up suddenly and said nervously: "Brother, I only ordered a bowl of porridge, and I didn't want to add eggs, you..."

As he said that, he pointed at the two big bowls of porridge with eggs on the table and was at a loss. It costs six copper coins, isn't it a scam.

Without waiting for Xiao Er to answer, the boss behind the counter over there said with a smile: "Don't be surprised, old people, I let them go, don't worry, I don't need money, just treat it as an apology for what I gave to Xiao Lin before."

At this time, Xiao Er named Xiao Lin had already left, Yun Lin looked at the boss at a loss and said, "How did this happen, how did this happen..."

This feeling of being respected by others made Yunlin very comfortable, but he was even more at a loss. With his status, it was only reasonable for him to be looked down upon by others. The behavior of the boss simply refreshed his outlook on life.

"Haha, it's okay, I can still afford to pay for things that are only a few copper coins, as long as the old people don't say that our store doesn't understand etiquette." The boss said with a smile.

"Don't dare, dare not, this... this..."

Yunlin was even more at a loss, he didn't know how to answer the words, he didn't stand or sit, he was so cramped that he couldn't position his hands and feet.

Yunjing sighed in his heart, the simplicity of his grandfather, the kindness and generosity of the shopkeeper, this is the portrayal of normal life, where in the world are there so many intrigues, swords, lights and swords, how many times in a normal person's life can he experience the kind of life that is far away from life and only exists in stories? matter?

In order to dispel Yunlin's concerns, the boss took the initiative to change the subject and said, "Sit down, old man, and eat slowly. By the way, are you here to visit relatives or...?"

"We are here to sell things in the town," Yun Lin hesitated, sat down and said, he subconsciously emphasized the words "selling things", obviously he was greatly touched by being mistaken for a beggar before.

Nodding, the boss said again: "Well, if it's convenient, can the old man tell me what they sell? Anyway, I'm idle, so if it's inconvenient, just pretend I didn't ask."

Yunjing is already sipping porridge right now, and he is really hungry. Not to mention, the porridge in this shop is quite good. Although there is only salt as the seasoning, it is fragrant and delicious, especially with the addition of eggs , it is extremely silky in the mouth...

After taking a sip, Yunlin quickly put down the bowl and replied, "There's nothing I can't say, the sale here is just some bamboo products weaved in my free time, and it won't be on the table."

"Hehe, earning money by crafts, not sloppy, and nothing that can't be on the table, how about the old man's business?" The shopkeeper continued to chat while busy.

Seeing the kindness of the shopkeeper, Yunlin was no longer so restrained, and said with a smile: "It's okay."

"It's not bad, it's good," the boss nodded.

Picking up the porridge bowl again, Yunlin reckoned that the boss was really talkative, so he hesitated for a while and asked cautiously: "Boss, you have a lot of knowledge, I want to ask you something, I don't know if I should say it or not"

"It's okay for the elderly to say it," the boss said in a friendly way.

Yunlin nodded and said, "That's how it is. I came to town today. Besides selling bamboo weaving, I accidentally got some honey in the wild and sold it along the way, but I never sold this thing. I didn't know it for a while. What should I do, if possible, can the boss give me some advice?"

"Honey?" The boss raised his head and looked at Yunlin again after hearing the words, and stopped even the action of settling accounts, as if he was a little surprised, since honey is not common.

Yun Lin, who made up his mind to sell maltose as honey, nodded and said, "That's right, it's honey, can the boss show me the way?"

"Can the old man show me?" The boss said, put down his work, and walked over from behind the counter.

Unexpectedly, his reaction was so strong, Yunlin thought for a while and looked at the boss who passed by, and said: "This is not something shameful, the boss can just watch it if he wants to."

As he spoke, Yunlin opened the bamboo tube and lifted the lid to show him.

The maltose in the bamboo tube is not much different from honey in appearance, there are some impurities in it, which is in line with the honey that has not processed the impurities.

After looking at it, the boss's eyes lit up and said: "It's really honey..." After speaking, he smelled it, and then frowned slightly: "This honey... seems to taste a bit wrong, why does it smell like malt?"

"I got it in the wild by accident. As for the taste, I don't know. Maybe that hive of bees had their own ideas when making honey?" Yun Lin said cautiously.

He made up his mind that no one would be able to help him. That’s why the honey didn’t run away. If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing you can do. Ask the bees yourself.

Hearing what grandpa said, Yun Jing, who was drinking porridge, almost couldn't hold back his laughter. Even bees have their own ideas, and I don't know why the honest grandpa said this in a hurry.

At least holding back, Yunjing lowered his head and drank the porridge to cover up his strangeness.

The boss didn't realize there was something wrong with Yunlin's words. After all, due to the seasons, even the honey produced by different bees is different. Although the 'honey' has the aroma of malt, it is not unacceptable. .

Then, the boss looked at Yunlin, rubbed his hands and asked, "How about selling me this honey, old man?"

"Ah?" Yunlin didn't react for a while.

At this moment, Yun Jing, who was drinking porridge with his head down, sighed in his heart. Let's see it in secret. Good things are easy to sell, especially 'honey', which can barely be called something that can't be met. Many times, people who really want it You can't buy it with money.

Before squatting on the street for a long time, no one cared about it, because they didn't even know what you were selling.

No, the owner of the restaurant is obviously a good person, his eyes lit up when he saw the 'honey' in Yunlin's hand...
