TSBFL Chapter 66
Chapter 66.2: 找茬
[Pick fault with]
However, no matter whether it is the big boss or the small boss, no matter whether it is the appearance or the temperament, it is first-class. Having someone adore or admire them was really an extraordinarily normal or usual thing. No one adores or loves them, only then it’s kind of weird or abnormal.
Thinking about this, Xiao Wang thought of himself as a person in utter isolation (孤 and 寡人 being used by feudal kings and princes to refer to themselves or a person who has chosen to follow a solitary path/unmarried one). Person alienated from others like him, silently sighed, when could he find a good object to get married ah?!

In front of the shop.
A few careless and sloppy youths were clustering around a young man dressed in brocade, pointing at the signboard of the Chen Family Restaurant, towards the youngster in the middle, ”Qing Ge, this is the restaurant that our brothers have been thinking about wanting to come and try it out since it opened, but unfortunately we never had the chance.”
That person known as Qing Ge raised his eyelids, looking at the shop in front of him, which was not quite the same as other shops, his brows frowned unnoticeably. Why did he feel that this shop looked somewhat familiar?
The young man who had spoken first looked at Qing Ge staring at the shop without saying anything, thinking that he didn’t want to go in to eat. Thinking that if he didn’t go in, there would be no one to pay the money and it won’t do (not good)!
The youth looked at Qing Ge and did his very best introductions, “Qing Ge, don’t look that this shop front is small, but the shopkeeper is arrogant as hell.”
The man who was called Qing Ge was Zhou Qing. Only to see Zhou Qing turn his head in his direction after hearing his words, “Oh?” His tone sounded doubtful.
Seeing Zhou Qing became interested, that youth became more and more interested, then said: “They, this shop every day only has thirty tables, no matter how many customers, after thirty tables then they will not receive any more orders.”
Zhou Qing heard this then he first glanced at the excited little subordinate, and then looked at the well-lit business area not far away, somewhat disdainfully as he said: “This is the first time I’ve heard that there is actually a shopkeeper who drives guests out like this! If things continue this way, don’t tell me that he’s not afraid of the long term customers who come here to eat , even thirty tables will not reach that number anymore?”
The youth clapped his hands and agreed: “That’s right, when everyone knew about this rule, they all speculated in their hearts when this shop would close down, but after being open for so long, not only did they not see a decrease in the number of guests at his house, but instead, more and more people came to eat, making those who hadn’t eaten wanna take a bite, and they all wanted to see what kind of delicacy it was that would make people rush to eat it.”
Hearing the youth’s words, Zhou Qing’s face finally gave birth to a few moments of interest, waving his hand towards the crowd around him, and said heroically, “Go, let’s go in and take a look, I’ll take you guys to taste it for today, to see what kind of taste this shop really is.”
“It’s still Zhou Ge, the generous one.”
“That’s right, within this group of us, it’s Zhou Ge who gets along the best, can he not be generous?”
Amidst the crowd’s compliments, Zhou Qing walked over as if he was the myriad of stars surrounded by the moon ( group around a revered leader).
The closer Zhou Qing got to the shop, the stronger the feeling of familiarity grew in his heart, until he arrived at the shop’s entrance, and looked at the bookkeeper behind the counter. He was instantly sure that his feeling was not wrong, and that this shop was indeed the shop that he had rented out for his uncle.
In an instant, Zhou Qing recalled the scene when he went back to his uncle, who only praised him lightly and never said anything else, a move that had always haunted him (he felt the uncle neglected him so he kind of bear a grudge)
Seeing this shopkeeper again today, Zhou Qing’s humiliation that day and the pent-up frustration of not getting any favors behind him surfaced all of a sudden, and his eyes staring at the man behind the counter began to look a little unkind.
“Yo, I didn’t expect you guys to be able to make the shop like this.” As soon as Zhou Qing opened his mouth, he was speaking in a deliberately ambiguous tone, his eyes looking straight at Gu Lang, “I was originally still curious about who opened this shop. With such a rule of rushing customers yet it actually didn’t collapse for so long. Now that I’ve seen you, I’m not surprised that this shop has such weird rules.”
These words slightly sounded like compliments, but when they thought about it carefully, every word was sarcastic.
Gu Lang’s face hadn’t changed the slightest bit, as if he hadn’t heard the malice in his tone, he just said indifferently, “Do the guests want to dine here? If you want to dine here, I will issue you a card. If the guests do not dine here, please make way for the guests behind you.”
Zhou Qing looked at Gu Lang’s calm expression as he uttered these words; a surge of anger rose in his chest, followed by fierce clenching teeth, his chest heaving up and down greatly. He felt that this shopkeeper was simply ungrateful. He was their landlord, shouldn’t he be flattering and pleasing him at this time? Now, he pretended not to recognize him, not even maintaining the most basic etiquette.
