If ancient people went to a restaurant to eat and accidentally broke the bowl, how should they compensate?

In ancient times, if you accidentally broke bowls and chopsticks in restaurants, there were two main consequences. 1 The consequence is the original price compensation, which is better, because the boss is kind and doesn't ask you for more money. In the second case, you may have to pay 10 times the price of the bowl, because in the eyes of these bosses, if their rice bowls are smashed, their business will be destroyed. This is a bad sign for their business, so the boss will ask you to pay 10 times the price compensation. This kind of thing was very common in ancient times. After all, others are open, but you have ruined their jobs. Emotion is unreasonable, so in ancient times, ordinary people were willing to give more money to compensate the boss.

Hotels have always been a special existence in ancient China, because it can provide people with some wine and food, and at the same time, it can also provide people with a place to rest in some remote places, so that people can have a place to stay in the process of traveling. For example, in the Water Margin, Sun Erniang is such a typical existence, but the inn he runs in Sun Erniang is a black shop, because this black shop specializes in slaughtering passers-by to make human flesh buns.

Therefore, in ancient times, some places in these inns were not as good as what we saw in our eyes, or they might be black shops specializing in robbing others. These bosses inside are probably bandits, so if you accidentally smash their jobs, they will probably blackmail you a lot of money until you are penniless.

But when you eat in most restaurants, people won't blame you too much if you accidentally break their wine bowls. After all, they also know that you didn't mean to hit it. You just need to compensate the boss according to the original price of the bowl. This kind of boss is reasonable and doesn't care about this little money, because in the eyes of these bosses, his reputation is more important. By dealing with others, more customers can get to know themselves, thus bringing more guests to their business.
