Chapter 1353

"What kind of friend? You have met a noble person." The eldest aunt finally showed a little joy on her face. Finally, she no longer had to worry about her nephew becoming a burden, at least he would not borrow money from her family anymore.

Wang Xiaoming said: "When the business in the store is better, and I have money, I will return Auntie's money to you. I am embarrassed to have delayed it for so many years. If it hadn't been for that brat Big Dog's failure, he would have paid it back long ago." ”

When the eldest aunt heard that Wang Xiaoming took the initiative to pay back the money, she became friendly and said: "I knew that my old Wang family would not collapse like this. Look, my nephew finally got up. I'll give it to you later." I'm going to visit a girl from a good family and ask you to get married as soon as possible. She's not too young and it's time to start a family, so as not to make my brother feel uneasy."

Wang Xiaoming's face changed: "Auntie, please don't mention this matter. I'll look for it myself. I really won't bother you." Because of this incident during the Chinese New Year last year, the aunt and nephew didn't speak to each other for most of the year. Later, Wang Xiaoming went there during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The deadlock was broken by sending the festival.

"You don't believe Agu? Agu will help you find a good one this time. You can't be as confused as last year." The eldest aunt finally admitted that she was confused last year.

Wang Ergou said quickly: "Agu, my brother has already found it himself."

The eldest aunt said happily: "Really?"

Wang Xiaoming glanced at Wang Ergou, looked at each other, and nodded: "Yes."

The eldest aunt said: "That's right, we should start a family as soon as possible. Which family are you looking for a girl from, and what does the family do?"

Wang Xiaoming said: "As far as the county town is concerned, my parents are ordinary people. This matter is actually not confirmed yet. I will tell my aunt the good news when I get confirmation in the future."

The eldest aunt was happy: "Okay, just be diligent and have a reliable character. Bring it to my aunt to see before getting married."

"Yeah." Wang Xiaoming was not good at lying. He had been fooling around with his aunt so much that his vest was almost sweating.

The little aunt is more direct: "Xiao Ming, are you short of people in your store? Let A Mei work in your store. She can help you collect money and buy vegetables." A Mei is the daughter of the little aunt.

Wang Xiaoming thought to himself that his little aunt was really straightforward. He asked his daughter to ask about the money as soon as he came. Why didn't he ask her to carry the dishes and collect the bowls? He originally wanted to find an acquaintance to cashier, but now he heard what his little aunt said. , but he was a little afraid of familiar people, so he turned to look at Yang Ming. Yang Ming said: "The cashier is not needed for the time being. I get up at five or six o'clock every day to buy groceries. It is not suitable for girls."

The little aunt looked at Yang Ming and asked Wang Xiaoming: "Who is he?"

Wang Xiaoming said: "My friend who opened a store with me."

The little aunt looked at Yang Ming in surprise: "Is this the shop he opened with you?"

Wang Xiaoming nodded: "Yes."

The little aunt felt strange in her heart, why did this friend of the partnership follow him to relatives' houses to pay New Year's greetings? Why didn't she go home to celebrate the New Year? But he didn't ask him face to face. He secretly asked Wang Ergou what was going on with Yang Ming. Wang Ergou didn't tell the truth. He just said that this friend was from out of town and had not gone home to celebrate the New Year. He was celebrating the New Year at their house this year, so he came to play with him.

The little aunt heard that there was no need to cashier, so she didn't insist on letting her go to Wang Xiaoming's store. She probably thought that Wang Xiaoming opened a small restaurant, so there was no reason why she had to go.

On the way back, Wang Xiaoming said: "I originally planned to find relatives and acquaintances to collect cash, but now I think it is better to hire someone else. Money is collected by outsiders, and we can reconcile the accounts. If there is more or less, we can discuss the matter. If it is an acquaintance, right It’s hard to say if we don’t pay the bills.”

Yang Ming nodded: "That's right. When the store opens, we will put up recruitment advertisements."

They had dinner at their aunt's house before going back. Because they had to rush back, they had dinner early. It was not dark yet, so they chartered a tricycle to take them to the pier.

Yang Ming suddenly said: "Your phone is ringing."

Wang Xiaoming quickly took out his mobile phone and saw that it was a strange call, so he answered: "Hello, who is this?"

The other party said: "Is it Haibawang Restaurant?"

"Ah, yes, I am. What can I do for you?" Wang Xiaoming was a little surprised. It's closed now, so why would someone call?

The other party said very enthusiastically: "Hello, hello, my surname is Zhou. That's right, I heard from a friend that your store does very good food, and you also host banquets, right?"

"Yes, yes. What do you need?" Wang Xiaoming understood as soon as he heard this. It seemed that he wanted to book a banquet.

The other party said: "I would like to ask, what is the price of the most expensive banquet in your store?"

Wang Xiaoming has never heard of anyone ordering a banquet like this. How can he ask the most expensive one when he comes up: "There is no fixed number for this. First, we need to know what your budget is?"

"Oh, oh, I want to host fifty banquets. Each table should cost at least five thousand yuan. Don't you have that Buddha jumping over the wall? You want that one."

Wang Xiaoming glanced at Yang Ming: "I'm sorry, our store is limited and we can't hold fifty tables of banquets. We can only hold twenty-five tables at most."

"There are so few, so let's have twenty-five tables. It's more expensive, the more expensive the better."

Wang Xiaoming twitched the corner of his mouth: "The most expensive banquet our store has ever hosted was 6,600 tables. Do you think this is okay?"

"Okay, okay, six thousand sixty-one tables, twenty-five tables, I will serve wine on the eighth day of the lunar month. You guys hurry up and help me prepare things." The other party said hurriedly.

Wang Xiaoming said: "We have to design a menu for you first. After you confirm it, we sign a contract and you have to pay a deposit in advance before you can purchase the ingredients."

"I still need to pay a deposit, how much is it?"

Wang Xiaoming said: "If you have a lot of banquets and a relatively large amount of money, the deposit is 20% of the total banquet amount. For someone like you, a deposit of more than 30,000 is probably needed."

"So much! Wait, we need to discuss it first and contact you later." The other party said and hung up the phone.

Yang Ming looked at Wang Xiaoming: "What's wrong?"

Wang Xiaoming looked at his phone and said: "A strange person came to order a banquet. He said he wanted fifty tables, but I said we could only place twenty-five tables. He immediately reduced it to twenty-five tables, and said he wanted the most expensive table. "Generally speaking, when the host hosts a banquet, the seats are reserved according to the guests. It is possible to have one or two more tables and one or two less tables. Now it is half less, and the other party actually agreed happily. What kind of banquet is this? ah?

Yang Ming said: "Maybe it's a joke, don't worry about it for now."

Sure enough, the other party didn't call again. After arriving home, Wang Xiaoming called the other party. The other party said that the deposit was too expensive and they might not buy it from his house. Wang Xiaoming didn't give in. He thought this was unreliable and just a joke.

The next day, Wang Xiaoming received another call to order a banquet. The other party said: "My dad has his birthday on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year. He wants to hold a banquet for twenty tables. I have relatives coming back from the United States. I want it to be more lavish. Price is not an issue. Ingredients must be purchased according to the standards I require. If they fail to meet the standards, no money will be given.”
