ears old. However, he looked energetic and vibrant without any signs of aging, exuding an air of authority that seemed naturally cultivated from long-term leadership.Following behind the elder were se...Chapter 361: Eating Flies
This scream naturally immediately attracted everyone in the restaurant, including a forty-something-year-old restaurant owner. Several pairs of eyes also looked over towards Wang Xiaoya.
Xia Tian also looked at Wang Xiaoya strangely and asked, "What's wrong"
"There are flies in my soup." Wang Xiaoya pointed to the bowl with a terrified look on her face. It seemed that she was very afraid of this insect.
Before Xia Tian could speak, the restaurant owner had already replied, "How is this possible My restaurant has excellent hygiene conditions; how can there be flies"
"Look for yourself, isn't this a fly" Wang Xiaoya pointed somewhat discontentedly at the bowl. And with Xia Tian's eyesight, he could clearly see that it was indeed a dead fly that had been soaking in the soup for some time.
The restaurant owner lowered his head to take a look and then nodded: "You're right; this is a fly."
"Now you admit it" Wang Xiaoya said angrily, "You still say your place is clean. How ridiculous! I should never have come here!"
"Young lady, there's no mistake that this is a fly, but it's not from our restaurant," the restaurant owner calmly replied.
Wang Xiaoya was immediately annoyed: "Hey, if they're not your restaurant's flies, then whose flies are they"
"That's something you need to explain." The restaurant owner looked at Wang Xiaoya and Xia Tian with a strange expression. "Alright then, I won't count this fly incident against you. Since that’s the case, let me treat you to this tomato and egg soup for free."
"You’re not holding us accountable" Wang Xiaoya was even more furious. "What do you mean by that It's clear your restaurant has flies, yet you say you're not holding us accountable Is there such a thing as what you just said"
“Little friend, I’ve already said it, our restaurant doesn’t have flies. Whether you came here to cause trouble or didn’t want to pay, in any case, I won't charge for this soup now. Please don’t make more fuss about this, as it’s not beneficial for everyone.” The restaurant owner spoke unhappily, his tone hinting at a subtle threat.
This made Wang Xiaoya even angrier; what kind of person was he He was so unreasonable!
“Hey, do you mean the fly is something I brought in here” Wang Xiaoya angrily said. “Are you serious Who doesn’t want to pay Originally, all I wanted was for you to change the soup, but now with what you’re saying… I’m going to complain about this to the Consumer Association and report your hygiene issues!”
“Little friend, we've seen this trick too many times. At your age, it’s best not to resort to such tactics. This meal is only worth a few dozen dollars; why would you lose out over something so small” The restaurant owner said with a seemingly earnest tone.
“You…” Wang Xiaoya glared at the restaurant owner angrily, her heart filled with rage. He was actually pretending to be kind! It was too shameless!
For a moment, Wang Xiaoya really didn’t know what else she could do. Her previous talk about going to the Consumer Association for complaints was just empty words; in truth, she had no idea where such an organization even was.
"Brother Xia Tian, this person is so unreasonable!" Ultimately, Wang Xiaoya could only rely on Xia Tian. She hoped that he would help her get even with the restaurant owner since that fly had ruined her good mood entirely.
Xia Tian finally spoke up and stared at the restaurant owner: "Are you saying there are no flies in your restaurant"
"That's correct, my restaurant doesn't have a single fly or mosquito." The restaurant owner declared firmly.
"Then if I find a fly in your restaurant, will you eat it" Xia Tian asked lazily.
The restaurant owner was momentarily stunned. In his heart, he knew that the fly in the soup indeed came from his restaurant, but he didn't want to admit it. After all, if this news spread, it wouldn't be good for his restaurant's reputation. From his perspective, these two young students wouldn't cause any trouble and at most, he would just give them a free meal.
However, the restaurant owner never expected that they were so persistent and actually stood up to him, even demanding that he eat the fly.
"Student, if you find a fly in my restaurant, eating it wouldn't be an issue for me. But if you don't find one, will you then eat the fly in this soup" The restaurant owner looked at Xia Tian with a somewhat gloomy expression. He didn't want to eat a fly and he also believed that no one could actually find a fly in his restaurant. Even if they did find one, they wouldn't be able to catch it, right
"Sure!" Xia Tian readily agreed and then pointed with his hand: "Hey, look over there! Isn’t that a fly"
Following the direction Xia Tian was pointing at, Wang Xiaoya, the restaurant owner, as well as a few of the other customers in the nearly empty restaurant all looked over. Indeed, on one table near the kitchen was sitting a fly.
In fact, it's not uncommon for flies to appear in restaurants, but if a fly ends up in the dish or soup, that's completely unacceptable. If this restaurant owner had admitted that the fly was from his restaurant and quickly changed Wang Xiaoya’s soup, there wouldn’t have been any major issue. However, he chose to deny it outright and even accused Wang Xiaoya of bringing the fly in herself, which only made matters worse.
The bystanders who were watching started to feel a bit schadenfreudic; it looked like this restaurant owner was about to "eat" the fly himself.
"Where's the fly" The restaurant owner walked casually towards the table as if nothing had happened, saying, "I don't see anything."
“Hey, are you blind” Wang Xiaoya said indignantly. “The fly is right there… Hey, you're shameless! You deliberately tried to shoo it away!”
The restaurant owner's actions were clearly visible to everyone; he approached the table where the fly was and reached out to swat it. Clearly, if he got rid of the fly, he could deny that there had ever been a fly in his restaurant.
True to the restaurant owner’s hopes, the fly soon flew away from the table. Just as he was feeling triumphant, a pair of chopsticks darted out from behind and swiftly captured the fly.
The sight made the restaurant owner's face change; who could catch a fly with chopsticks That kind of scene seemed to only exist in wuxia TV shows.
Turning around, his face turned even more grim. The person holding the fly wasn't anyone else but Xia Tian.
"Yay, Brother Xia is so cool!" Wang Xiaoya was delighted and clapped her hands joyfully.
Summer glared at the restaurant owner and said lazily, "Hey, are you going to eat it yourself or should I stuff it in your mouth"
"Hurry up and eat it! Eat it quick!" Wang Xiaoya was goading him; this restaurant owner had just made her angry, so naturally she wanted to see the scene of him eating a fly.
"This fly isn't from my shop. You brought it yourself!" The restaurant owner was still trying to stick to his story; jokingly speaking, he wouldn’t really eat a fly. Could you even eat that thing
“You’re so shameless!” Wang Xiaoya got angry again. This person was truly disgraceful.
Summer looked at the restaurant owner with some displeasure: "So do you mean to say, you don’t want to eat this fly yourself"
"The flies you brought should be eaten by… uh…" The restaurant owner hadn't finished his sentence when he suddenly felt something in his mouth; Summer had stuffed the fly inside.
The poor restaurant owner wanted to spit out the fly, but Summer quickly pinched his throat and patted him on the back. The fly slid down his throat and into his stomach.
Summer clapped her hands and seemed very satisfied: "How was it Isn't the taste of this fly quite good I heard that it’s rather nutritious!"
"Hehe, Brother Summer, you’re really super duper cool! You actually made him eat a fly!" Wang Xiaoya got excited and jumped up, running to Summer's side where she hugged his arm and started shaking.
"You brat, do you want a beating" The restaurant owner, who had swallowed the fly, instantly flew into a rage and swung his fist at Xia Tian.
No one ever ends up well after wanting to beat up Xia Tian, this pitiful restaurant owner included. His punch didn’t land on Xia Tian, but for a short time, he wouldn't be able to hold a ladle with that hand again because it had just unfortunately broken his wrist.
"Eat more flies and your hand will get better," Xia Tian kindly reminded the restaurant owner.
The restaurant owner looked pained but didn’t dare say anything. At this point, he finally realized that he had run into someone who wasn't easy to deal with.
"That's right! Since you like eating flies so much, eat more!" Wang Xiaoya said with a smile while also pulling on Xia Tian, "Brother Xia, let’s leave. I’m almost full now."
Wang Xiaoya wanted to go, and Xia Tian naturally agreed. The two quickly left the restaurant under the strange gaze of the owner and customers. As for the payment for their meal, it was obvious that they didn’t pay.
The restaurant owner began regretting his actions at this moment, but unfortunately, there's no such thing as a後悔藥 (regret pill).
Xia Tian and Wang Xiaoya soon arrived back at the main gate of Jiangda High School. However, they found that it was rather lively near the entrance with several police officers present along with an ambulance. The five individuals lying on the ground had just been placed onto the ambulance.
"Brother Xia, what happened to them" Wang Xiaoya asked curiously.e; he couldn’t even immediately notice anything wrong at first glance anymore because of his weakened abilities."What an unprofitable career indeed. Even being a beggar means getting beaten up." Xia T...
