Chapter 419 The Broken Lunch Box
"Hey, I said you're boring now." Shazhu was dumbfounded. Why did this guy keep changing his mind?

"Silly Zhu, you are violating the restaurant's rules. This was already agreed upon before. I didn't bother with you before, but now I can't. After all, this is also a business for me."

Lou Xiao'e spoke in a completely businesslike tone, and then she told the restaurant manager to take note of the matter. She was still giving face to Sha Zhu, otherwise he would have fired him. The most important thing was that the kitchen staff of the restaurant were basically all Sha Zhu's apprentices. If he really fired Sha Zhu, what would happen if these people made a fuss?

Sha Zhu can't leave until a suitable chef is found.

"Lou Xiao'e, this is meaningless. After all, you live in this compound. These people are your neighbors and your elders."

After having more contact with Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu now basically adopts Yi Zhonghai's way of thinking, and his mouth is full of the flavor of moral kidnapping.

"Silly Zhu, I know the people in this compound better than you do. You have not been harmed by them. If you want to support them, then go ahead. The rules of my restaurant are here. You knew these rules on your first day here."

If it was something else, Lou Xiao'e might have given Sha Zhu this face, but since it involved the people in the compound, Sha Zhu's words only made Lou Xiao'e feel a little disgusted. At this moment, Lou Xiao'e was not in love with Sha Zhu.

"Hey, I have a bad temper." Sha Zhu has a bad temper. He got angry when he heard Lou Xiao'e say that. "Lou Xiao'e, when you lived in the compound, everyone took good care of you. Why are you saying that now? You don't know how to respect your elders at all."

If Lee Seung-ri were here and heard Sha Zhu's easy-to-understand words, he would have to laugh. He is truly Yi Zhonghai's good son. He speaks and acts more and more like Yi Zhonghai.

"Stop, stop, stop." Lou Xiao'e felt a little headache and quickly made a pause gesture to Sha Zhu.

"I say, Silly Zhu, my elder is not here. Besides, what have the three uncles in the courtyard done? The first uncle is only busy helping you, and Liu Haizhong almost raided my house. Yan Bugui is always calculating this and that. Which of the three has ever helped me?"

Lou Xiao'e was speechless: "Rather than helping me, these three people are more like enemies with me."

Later, when Lou Xiao'e saw that Sha Zhu still had something to say, she didn't want to listen to what Sha Zhu said anymore.

"Okay, stop talking. These are the rules. It's okay for you to take things from the steel mill, but it's not okay to take things from my store. My rules are posted on the wall. This matter is resolved today. If you break the rules again next time, I will deal with it according to the rules."

Lou Xiao'e still didn't go too far, and it was Sha Zhu who did the unkind thing first. If the restaurant was not short of chefs, then it wouldn't matter if Sha Zhu was fired.

Now Lou Xiao'e is worried that if she closes Sha Zhu's shop, what will happen if all his apprentices follow him? Then the business of this shop will be ruined.

After Lou Xiao'e finished speaking, she did not give Sha Zhu a chance to explain himself. She turned around and waved to the restaurant manager to go with her.

"Hey, this woman." Sha Zhu cursed with some distress.

"Boss, is this matter resolved like this?" The restaurant manager thought that Lou Xiao'e's approach was not appropriate.

"Let's do this first. Go find some good chefs. We can't let Sha Zhu control us."

Lou Xiao'e was disgusted by Sha Zhu's words today. If she had thought the same as Sha Zhu during her years in Hong Kong, she would have been eaten by the jackals and tigers in Hong Kong until nothing was left.

"Okay, I get it, boss." Don't think that Sha Zhu is popular just because of his good cooking skills. The manager of this restaurant has long been fed up with Sha Zhu's foul mouth and the bad habits he brought from the state-owned factory.

People who come from the kitchens of state-owned factories have a common problem, which is waste. They cut half of the dish and throw away the other half, and don't use the meat if it's not fresh, etc. Ordinary restaurants can't afford to do that. What is the kitchen of Sha Zhu's restaurant like now? These dishes are all cooked by his apprentices. He watches from the side and gives instructions when he has time. When it is almost time for lunch in the afternoon, he asks someone to cook two hard dishes and then goes home with his lunch box.

When Sha Zhu saw Lou Xiao'e leaving with the restaurant manager, he cursed inwardly and finally went home with his lunch box.

When he returned to the courtyard and stepped through the door of his own house, the whole family was already sitting there waiting for the lunch box in Sha Zhu's hand. There were also a few plates of fried vegetables on the table, but most of them were potatoes, cabbages and the like.

"This is the last meal today." Sha Zhu put the lunch box on the table first, and then said this while taking off his clothes.

Sha Zhu's words shocked everyone else. Why did eating this meal feel like the last meal before execution?

"Zhu Zi, what nonsense are you talking about?" This old man couldn't stand to hear such things. Yi Zhonghai was frightened and yelled at him, "Sha Zhu".

"That's right, why do you say such unlucky words?" The other five old men and women were also unhappy. Why were they so fed up with them that they were going to send them away?
For a moment, no one dared to touch the lunch box that Sha Zhu brought back.

"Shazhu, what do you mean by that?" Qin Huairu paused for a moment, then remembered Shazhu's broken mouth, and thought that Shazhu must have said something wrong again.

"Hey, my mouth is broken. I said the wrong thing."

Sha Zhu laughed twice, and not only that, he also gently slapped his mouth twice with his right hand.

"Silly Zhu, what do you mean by that?"

"From now on I can't bring anything home from the restaurant anymore." Sha Zhu didn't keep the secret this time.

"Ah?! Why, didn't you bring it well before?" Jia Zhang was unhappy at first. This silly Zhu brought food home from the restaurant, and each of his two meals a day had two or three main dishes. She had long been accustomed to it.

"Well, nothing. The restaurant doesn't allow you to bring anything in." Sha Zhu didn't say that Lou Xiao'e didn't allow people to bring anything in. He just said that from today on, the restaurant wouldn't allow him to bring lunch boxes out.

This sounds like all the fault lies with Lou Xiao'e.

"Lou Xiao'e is so stingy. Why doesn't she let me take the child with me?" Jia Zhang completely forgot that Lou Xiao'e had helped their family before. Nothing was more important to her than having enough food to eat.

"From the beginning I didn't think she was a good person." The second aunt also pouted and criticized Lou Xiao'e.

The three uncles and aunts did not blame Lou Xiao'e. They were just thinking that since Lou Xiao'e did not allow Sha Zhu to bring things home, the food for their whole family would be greatly reduced.

"Okay, if we are not allowed to bring it, then let's just buy some vegetables and cook for ourselves." Yi Zhonghai didn't have too many requirements for food. He could eat white flour and rice, and he could also eat millet and corn flour.

Qin Huairu was relieved. Lou Xiao'e was divorced, and she was still afraid that Sha Zhu would run away with Lou Xiao'e. After being relieved, Qin Huairu became worried again. If Sha Zhu didn't bring any vegetables home, then her family's food expenses would increase again, and the living expenses paid by the old ladies would not be enough.
