Chapter 18: What Goes Around Comes Around!
"Shopkeeper, what do you mean?" After the assistant closed the live stream, he stood up immediately.
Liu Yishou glanced at him and said, "We have already refunded your money. I don't welcome customers who waste food."
At the same time, he pointed to a sign by the door.
On it, there were prominent words that said, "Eliminate Food Waste."
There was also a notice stating that if any waste occurred, the customer would be permanently blacklisted.
This sign had actually been there for many years.
Li Yidao noticed this notice when he was very young, accompanying his parents.
Almost all the regular customers knew about it.
When they couldn't finish their meals, they would directly ask for smaller portions.
For some of the regular customers, Uncle Liu knew exactly how much food they could eat without asking.
"Just refunding the money is enough? Do you know how much money Brother Noodles will lose because of the live stream accident just now?"
"Can your small noodle shop afford it? Do you know that?"
"That's right! Do you know much money Brother Noodles earn each live stream? Can you compensate for that?"
The filming crews were also angrily shouting.
Brother Noodles' face was also ice-cold.
"Old man, bring me the noodles and let me finish the live stream. I won't argue with you."
"Otherwise... hmph! Just wait for my legal team to come after you!"
Seeing the attitude of the other party, Uncle Liu instantly became irritated.
Aunt Liu, who was in the kitchen, heard the commotion and rushed out.
With a furious expression, she shouted.
"You bunch of streamers, wasting food for no reason! My man warned you that you couldn't finish ten bowls, but you still ordered ten bowls!"
"My man couldn't stand it anymore, so he refunded the money and took back the noodles. What's wrong with that?"
"Our noodles, we can sell them if we want to sell them and not sell them if we don't want to sell them!"
"Who cares about your live stream!"
Several old neighbors nearby also looked over.
As more and more people gathered, Brother Noodles no longer intended to waste time here.
He directly signaled his assistant, "Call the Market Supervision Administration. I wonder if they can take back the purchased goods!"
"Hmph." Today, he was indeed furious. He didn't know how many fans he would lose because of Uncle Liu's actions just now.
His reputation might be ruined.
That was not just anything simple matter that could be easily solved. If the platform held him accountable, he might have to bear a high amount of compensation.
So now he must find a scapegoat. Regardless of whether this person could shoulder the blame, the blame must be shifted away!
...
At this moment, Li Yidao and Li Yinuo had already finished their meal and were planning to leave.
However, they did not expect to encounter such a thing.
They stopped in their tracks.
Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu were so angry that they couldn't let out any voice.
Li Yidao gestured at Li Yinuo.
The little girl, being obedient, walked to Aunt Liu's side.
"Aunt Liu, come with me to the back kitchen and rest for a while. Let my brother handle things here with Uncle Liu."
Li Yidao then stood in front of Brother Noodles.
He smiled.
"Hehe, Brother Noodles, right? Such great power you have. Your fans are already in the millions, huh?" Li Yidao commented while recording with his phone, shaking his head.
"There's no need to intimidate us with live stream accidents and compensation."
"Hehe, all those were things you should consider yourself. What does it have to do with Uncle Liu?"
"The Market Supervision Administration? Doesn't matter. If you want to make a call, make it. If they want to come, they can come. We admit to the violation. Worst case scenario, we'll close for a few days and pay a fine."
"But you... hehe, I suggest you leave now and find another place to go live as soon as possible. If you don't explain, the viewers in your live stream will be extremely furious."
Saying that, Li Yidao placed the screen of the live stream in front of Brother Noodles.
The comments in the live stream were continuously flooding, with everyone shouting and cursing!
Seeing this scene, Brother Noodles' expression turned cold instantly!
He also knew that Liu Yishou couldn't be blamed for the live stream accident. He just wanted to intimidate him and force him to take the blame.
However, Li Yidao's presence completely ruined his plan.
"Hmph! Just wait! This matter isn't over! Let's go!"
He called his men and quickly left the restaurant.
There was no choice. What he needed to do now was to start live streaming again as soon as possible. nove(l)bi(n.)com
Then he should find a reason, and that reason was to shift the blame onto Liu Yishou.
Most importantly, he needed to find another noodle shop nearby and eat ten bowls of noodles without leaving any evidence.
Of course, he could tamper with the noodles, like the size of the bowls.
Only in this way could he minimize the losses.
But...
Just the thought of eating so much made him uncomfortable.
It wasn't his first time. When he first started the live broadcast, he was also very hardworking!
Even if he couldn't eat ten bowls, he would eat eight. That was why he gained fifty kilos in just half a year!
But that feeling was really uncomfortable!
Soon, with Brother Noodles and his group leaving, everyone else dispersed.
Li Yidao and Li Yinuo comforted the two elderly people and helped explain things when the Market Supervision Administration arrived.
The authorities didn't give them a hard time either. After all, Liu Yishou did nothing wrong, and the money for the noodles was refunded.
Although it was technically against the rules, everyone turned a blind eye.
And most importantly, the people who made the phone call were gone, so there was no point in troubling anyone.
After completing all of this, it was already past 4 p.m.
Li Yidao and Li Yinuo declined Uncle Liu's invitation for dinner.
They hailed a taxi and prepared to return to the funeral shop.
...
"Li Yidao, look at Brother Noodles. He started live streaming again. He went to another noodle shop, and has already eaten four bowls."
"Hurry up and go on your account to scold him! I just cursed and got blocked!"
Li Yinuo had somehow found Brother Noodles' live stream room.
Then, when she saw he restarted the live stream, she immediately started hurling insults at him!
But unfortunately, those who talked about the live stream accident or cursed Brother Noodles in his live stream room would be directly blacklisted.
This was bound to lose a lot of fans, but there was no other way!
If these people were allowed to reveal what happened earlier, it wouldn't just be a loss of some fans. It could ruin him entirely!
Li Yidao frowned and opened Brother Noodles' live stream.
"Brothers, this is the fifth bowl! I have to admit, the taste is absolutely amazing, and the portion is generous!"
"I feel like I may not be able to finish ten bowls today, but here's the deal: if I can't finish ten bowls, I will randomly select ten viewers in the live stream and give them the latest iPhone!"
This time, he truly went all out!
In order to salvage his reputation, he organized a giveaway event.
Of course, more than half of the winners were already predetermined.
Those wealthy individuals were undoubtedly on the list.
As for the remaining winners, one or two would be randomly selected. After all, a good show had to be complete, right?
However, just as Li Yidao opened Brother Noodles' live stream and saw this scene.
A familiar notification sounded once again.
[Ding! Detection of a high-quality customer, ID: Traveling Brother Noodles]
[Death Status Detection: Due to long-term irregular eating and repeated use of emetics, serious health problems have arisen! Death probability: 99%]
[It is advised that the host should immediately follow the high-quality customer.]
Well, well!
Wasn't this exactly the same as Brother Long, the big eater's cause of death?
And...
A 99% probability of death?
Li Yidao thought, "What goes around comes around, huh?"
