Chapter 285 The Thoughts of Yan Jiecheng and His Wife

Li Shengli just felt sorry for Sha Zhu and that Sha Zhu had no conflicts with him, so he mentioned it casually. If Lou Xiaoe hadn't brought the child back to find Sha Zhu, Sha Zhu would have no way of knowing that there was nothing wrong with his health. Now even Xu Damao and Qin Jingru, although they had their ups and downs together, are still on good terms now.

Especially since Xu Damao is quite rich now, Qin Jingru is a vain woman. Now she has become his wealthy wife and has no intention of breaking up with Xu Damao.

Li Shengli no longer cared about what was happening in the compound. It was almost 1984, and he could go south in 1984. Now the incident of the so-called "Eight Kings" of Wenzhou was being studied outside, and there was still a little controversy, but everything would be fine next year.

Li Shengli's words made Sha Zhu's heart feel a little fluctuating. Because he was thinking about something, Sha Zhu looked a little listless. Sha Zhu went back to the backyard while thinking about things.

"Sha Zhu! What's wrong? What did Li Shengli say?" Qin Huairu was still very confident in Sha Zhu. Sha Zhu's cooking skills were considered quite good in the city. As long as Sha Zhu worked hard, it would be easy for him to find a job.

Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huairu absentmindedly and shook his head. Sha Zhu didn't care about his work for the time being, but he was still thinking about what Li Shengli had just said to him.

Sha Zhu originally didn't intend to believe what Li Shengli said, but he thought about it carefully and realized that there was no conflict between him and Li Shengli, and that Li Shengli reminded him out of kindness. Sha Zhu was just wondering whether this was his problem or Qin Huairu's problem.

"Hey, why are you in a daze? Can you hear me talking to you?" Qin Huairu stretched her hand in front of Sha Zhu's eyes and shook her frowning eyebrows at Sha Zhu who was in a daze.

"Ah? What?" Sha Zhu was stunned for a moment and looked at Qin Huairu strangely, not reacting for a moment.

"Are you pretending to be stupid?" Qin Huairu rolled her eyes at Sha Zhu.

"Oh, oh! I asked Li Shengli. There are rules in their kitchen. You are not allowed to take anything out, and you have to work there all day." Sha Zhu slapped his thigh and pretended to be enlightened.

"Hey, what's wrong with Li Shengli? We're from the same compound, but he doesn't even help with this little favor. Besides, this chef is not allowed to keep anything unless he steals it. Isn't this the unspoken rule among chefs?" Qin Huairu was a little exasperated. The salary in this big hotel must be high.

Qin Huairu was still thinking about saving more money, but now this is a bit troublesome. Qin Huairu bit her lips, feeling a little distressed.

Sha Zhu was not too worried. To Sha Zhu, having this part-time job or not did not affect him much. His biggest wish was to own his own restaurant.

"It's not their fault. It's a big restaurant, and I'm just a chef and won't go there until the afternoon. Who would agree to that?" Sha Zhu knew that he had some habits, and to be honest, he was not used to being a second chef for others. It was best for Li Shengli to do this, as it saved face for both sides.

"Then if you can't do it anymore, go to Yan Jiecheng."

After hearing Qin Huairu's words, Sha Zhu immediately became unhappy. With the attitude of Yan Jiecheng and his wife, who would go to his store?

"No, I won't go no matter how much money you offer me." Sha Zhu was very determined. Yan Jiecheng was too careless in his work.

Qin Huairu glared at Sha Zhu and said nothing else. Now their whole family depended on Sha Zhu's salary to live.

After being scolded by Sha Zhu, Yan Jiecheng returned home with an angry face.

"This idiot Zhu is so ignorant." Yan Jiecheng angrily threw his bag onto the table, and there was a clattering sound when the two touched each other.

Yu Li was also very angry. Both of them begged Sha Zhu, but Sha Zhu still acted like he was the boss and he was the third in command.

"Jiecheng, I heard from my dad that Li Shengli's small restaurant has become a hot pot restaurant? Did you know about this?" After being angry for a while, Yu Li thought that this was not a solution. Her restaurant now had very few customers and did not make much money a month. Without a good chef, there was no way to revive the restaurant.

"We have to open a restaurant that doesn't need a chef. I think Lee Seung-ri's method is very good." Yu Liko is much smarter than Yan Jiecheng. She thought of a solution in a blink of an eye. A chef is needed to revive the restaurant. Since Sha Zhu is so difficult to deal with, it is better not to have a chef and just do the same as Lee Seung-ri's restaurant.

"Yes, how could I forget about this." When Yan Jiecheng heard what Yu Li said, he remembered the hot pot restaurant opened by Li Shengli. They had passed by there before, and the hot pot restaurant was doing good business.

"When our hot pot restaurant opens, we won't need Sha Zhu anymore." Yu Li couldn't stand Sha Zhu anymore. To be honest, few people could stand Sha Zhu's temper. It was fine in the kitchen of the steel mill, where everyone was the same and the factory didn't care about him, but it was not okay in this private restaurant. How could we reduce the cost if he wasted like that? "We don't have a recipe for our hot pot restaurant." Yu Li thought of this again. The hot pot base also has a secret.

"This is easy. We just need to go and buy the recipe from Li Shengli. As a chef, he must know the secret recipe of this base." Yan Jiecheng was not worried about this, as there were many people who knew how to cook this base.

Just a few days later, Yan Jiecheng bought everything he needed to open a hot pot restaurant, and then the couple went to Lee Seung-ri's hot pot restaurant to have a meal, intending to see why Lee Seung-ri's hot pot restaurant was so popular.

"It tastes really good." After finishing their hot pot, Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li wiped the sweat from the spicy chili peppers and huddled together whispering.

"Then let's ask the people in the kitchen and buy from them directly. There's no need to go looking for Li Shengli. Who knows if Li Shengli will ask for an exorbitant price." Yan Jiecheng rolled his eyes and began to calculate.

"That's true." Yu Li nodded in agreement after hearing Yan Jiecheng's words.

"Hey, waiter, come here." Yan Jiecheng stretched out his hand and called the waiter.

"Comrade, what's the matter?"

"Is your chef here in the kitchen?" Yan Jiecheng looked around quietly and said in a low voice.

"Comrade, is it not to your taste?"

"No, call your chef over, I have a big deal to discuss with you." Yan Jiecheng's voice was still not loud, he didn't want to make this known to everyone.

The waiter had no choice but to go to the kitchen and call out the chef.

"What's the matter, you two?" The cook in the kitchen thought the two were here to cause trouble.

"Comrade, the soup base here is good. Would you like to sell the recipe? I will pay you 100 yuan for your recipe." Yan Jiecheng said in a low voice.

The waiter and the cook looked at each other, and then the cook shook his head.

"No, I'll give you a little more, how about one hundred and ten?" Yan Jiecheng added ten yuan stingily.

"Okay, no problem." The chef suddenly came up with a bad idea. He told Yan Jiecheng and his wife the method of cooking ordinary hot pot base that he knew. After that, he added that the taste of the base cooked by different people would be different.

Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li didn't care and happily took their things and left.

"Is it okay for you to lie to people like this?" The waiter standing aside felt a little reluctant.

"It's not me who wants to sell it, they insist on buying it. I'll treat us all to a good meal tonight to celebrate my windfall." The cook patted his palms with the money he had just received and said generously with a wave of his hand.

"You have to tell the boss about what happened today." The waiter reminded from behind.

"I know, I know. I'll tell you tomorrow." The cook waved his hand and went back to the kitchen.

The next day, the four of them told Li Shengli about what happened. After hearing their description, Li Shengli recognized that the people who came were Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li. Li Shengli just sneered and then signaled to them not to bother.
