The guests arrived as if they had all agreed beforehand, each contributing a dime, except for the Jia family, who only put in a single cent!
"We can only afford one cent!" Jia Zhangshi said as she dropped the coin and went to find a place to sit.
Yan Bugui felt helpless about this situation too. After all, he usually only contributed a dime for gifts. As for the Jia family? Please, it was already good enough that Jia Zhangshi wasn't causing trouble!
Before long, the kitchen began serving dishes. Yan Bugui watched as meat dishes were brought out, feeling a pang of regret. He approached Yan Jiefang again and asked, "Boss, why are you being so extravagant? Why serve so much meat for these people? Listen to me, just serve the remaining dishes as vegetables!"
Yan Jiefang actually took Yan Bugui's advice, but this move caused an uproar among the guests in the courtyard!
It had been a long time since they had eaten meat, and everyone was ready to take this opportunity to enjoy a good meal. At first, they were indeed pleased with the feast, but when only vegetable dishes started coming out next, they could no longer tolerate it!
"Yan Jiefang, what do you mean by this? We paid our share; are you just going to serve us these vegetables? Who do you think we are?"
"Exactly! Hurry up and bring out the meat dishes! Otherwise, refund our contributions!"
After Yan Jiefang spoke, everyone turned their attention to Yan Bugui: "Yan Bugui, you're being too stingy! You run such a big restaurant at home and can't even afford to serve some meat? If you keep this up, your business will fail sooner or later!"
Well then, they were people that the Yan family couldn't afford to offend. Yan Bugui could only shed tears and let Yan Jiefang continue serving meat dishes!
In the end, everyone in the courtyard left with full bellies. When Yan Jiefang presented the bill to Yan Bugui, he jumped up in shock!
"What? Two dollars? How did we spend so much?"
"Father, this is already at a discounted rate! Just look at how much meat and fish they ate; do you think those cost nothing?"
"That's not right! Even if the meat and fish are expensive, it shouldn't add up to this much! Do you think I don't know the prices?" Yan Bugui clearly wasn't someone who could be easily fooled!
In response to Yan Bugui's doubts, Yan Jiefang was prepared: "Dad, these dishes may not be worth that much money, but I have to pay the chef's wages! Plus, we have rent for this place to cover; water costs money too, and charcoal isn't free! And my wife and I can't work for nothing either!"
Yan Bugui was left dizzy by Yan Jiefang's calculations: "Wait! So you're telling me that while I'm here eating, you're making money off me?"
"Of course! Dad, you said that brothers should settle accounts clearly; besides, we're father and son. I'm running this restaurant to make money; if you come here to eat, you have to pay just like everyone else!"
Yan Bugui nearly exploded from anger at his son's words. "So you've remembered that but not anything else I've said? You unfilial son! You're driving me crazy!"
Yan Jiefang didn't care whether his father was angry or not; he continued: "Dad, if we calculate it this way, I won't have to contribute any money at home for one year and eight months!"
Yan Bugui weakly waved his hand: "Fine, no need to contribute!"
He regretted ever agreeing to treat this bunch of people. If he ever made such a mistake again, he would be a turtle! Yes! A big turtle!
