Chapter 279

Shazhu looked at Yan Jiecheng, smiled, and said:

"Sure enough, it's San Da Ye's son; he must be his biological child."

"He has a bit of that calculating nature, huh."

"Alright, bring it over, ah."

"You handled this matter so efficiently; you must have discussed it with my disciple beforehand."

"I'm leaving, he stays behind."

Pangzi had already overheard their conversation; hearing this, he hurriedly slipped away to the side.

Shazhu has a short temper; he really doesn't want to provoke this bad omen.

Yan Jiecheng laughed and said, "Everyone has their own ambitions, right?"

Shazhu nodded and said, "Got it; then Pangzi, you settle this bill today."

Yan Jiecheng readily replied, "No problem; if you're straightforward, I'll be straightforward too."

Shazhu nodded again and said, "Bye-bye."

Having said that, he turned and left.

Yan Jiecheng saw that the sleeve cover was still in Shazhu's hand, and hurriedly shouted after his back:

"Hey hey, Shazhu, the sleeve cover, our family's sleeve cover."

Shazhu stopped, turned to glance at Yan Jiecheng, took off the sleeve cover and threw it to him.

Then.

He left.

Yan Jiecheng looked at the sleeve cover, muttered softly:

"Ant meat is still meat, right? This is all money."

Shazhu felt very depressed.

He really wanted to cause a big scene.

He also really wanted to find Pangzi to question him clearly.

But after thinking it over, he decided to let it go.

He also figured it out: Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li must have already reached an agreement with Pangzi.

Otherwise they wouldn't dare to dismiss him.

Blind as a bat, taking on Pangzi as a disciple.

Shazhu's intestines regretted turning green.

Of course.

The main reason is that he had long been on guard against Pangzi as a disciple.

So he also kept a trick up his sleeve.

Relying solely on Pangzi, Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li's restaurant would soon go bankrupt.

By then they'll still come begging him.

Holding that thought, he walked out of the Chunfeng Fandian's main door.

After stepping out, he only then realized there were no vegetables.

So many people in the courtyard were still waiting for him to bring vegetables back.

If he didn't bring vegetables back, they'd be terribly disappointed.

Others' disappointment doesn't matter, but how could he let Qin Huairu be disappointed?

After thinking, he bought two big bags of buns and headed toward the Siheyuan.

Arriving at the front yard, San Da Ma was watering flowers by the door.

He greeted, "San Da Ma."

San Da Ma didn't speak, but fixed her gaze on the buns in his hand.

Shazhu smiled, lifted the two big bags of buns, and said:

"You want to see the buns too? These are just bought; I didn't take them from your daughter-in-law's restaurant."

San Da Ma snorted coldly and said:

"Who would believe that."

"I'm not someone who hasn't worked there before."

Shazhu: "San Da Ma, I'm now just like you, also let your son and daughter-in-law fire me."

San Da Ma looked him up and down, then said:

"I don't believe it."

Shazhu: "You see, you still don't believe me."

"They've bribed my disciple."

"If you don't believe me, go ask them."

After saying that, Shazhu hurriedly trotted toward the Zhongyuan, his heels kicking up.

Watching his back, San Da Ma stared blankly for a moment, then rushed home.

While running, she shouted:

"Old man, old man, my son fired Shazhu."

Zhongyuan.

Everyone was eating peanuts on one side while waiting for Shazhu to bring back vegetables.

Shazhu walked over and said:

Everyone's seated neatly, huh?

Liu Haizhong asked: "Shazhu, how come you're back so early today?"

"Huairu hasn't cooked yet."

Shazhu put the two big bags of buns on the table and said:

"Don't bother making it; today we'll eat ready-made food—buns."

Qin Huairu heard this and hurried out.

This doesn't seem like a good thing.

Yi Zhonghai frowned and asked:

"Is the Sichuan restaurant not doing well?"

Shazhu: "What? It's booming."

Yi Zhonghai asked again: "Then why did you come back?"

Shazhu chuckled, indifferent, and said:

"Same fate as Third Great Mother."

"Let Yan Jiecheng get you fired."

Hearing this, Qin Huairu's face fell.

We barely made over sixty bucks a day and got to eat such delicious, hearty dishes—now it's gone?

And Shazhu still grinned, not taking it seriously.

Hmph, truly a hopeless A Dou.

Good thing I didn't marry you!

Yi Zhonghai smiled, looked at Shazhu, and asked:

"Is it because you keep taking things home and causing trouble?"

Shazhu smiled, shook his head, and said:

"Others... certainly, this is also a factor, but not the main one."

Liu Haizhong picked up: "The main factor is Old Yan meddling over there."

Saying this, he stood up and continued:

"I—I'll go find him—how unreasonable, how unreasonable, this Old Yan."

"If he can't eat, he won't let us eat either."

Shazhu hurriedly said: "Why go find him?"

"It's not him."

Liu Haizhong stopped.

Qin Huairu: "What do you mean it's not him? I think it is."

"Second Elder, go ask Third Great Master what's really going on."

"He can't just stop us from eating because his son and daughter-in-law's restaurant won't serve him, can he?"

Jia Zhangshi chimed in: "Exactly, we should find him—this is outrageous."

Shazhu raised his voice: "No, no, it's not like that."

Saying this, he pointed at himself and laughed:

"It's me—I'm too expensive!"

Qin Huairu deadpanned: "Your expensive ass!"

You still have the nerve to laugh.

Everyone's been fired, and you still can laugh?

Shazhu unfazed: "If I don't laugh, should I cry? Geez."

Liu Haizhong smiled, sat down, pointed at Shazhu, and said:

"You're still happy after being fired?"

Jia Zhangshi: "Indeed, Shazhu, you're not ambitious either."

Shazhu: "No, you guys, don't rush—just get by for a couple days."

When they come begging me.

In a couple days we'll double.

By then we'll have eight plates and eight bowls each day.

Qin Huairu glared at Shazhu and snapped:

"Just keep bragging."

Shazhu: "Hey, I'm really not bragging—just wait."

Enough talk, Huairu, sit down and let's eat.

That's it—no dishes today.

Qin Huairu snorted coldly and walked home.

Liu Haizhong glanced at her back, then turned his gaze to Shazhu and said:

Don't worry, don't worry.

You, you just keep nagging me.

Otherwise I won't be able to sleep at night.

Shazhu smiled, waved his hand, and said:

Don't mention it, nonsense—don't mention it.

Liu Haizhong: "You want Second Elder to not be able to sleep all night tonight?"

Shazhu: "What should we do?"

"I really won't say, I really won't say, ah."

"In a few days, you'll know everything."

"Please stay calm, please stay calm, ah."

In a short while, Qin Huairu walked over holding a bowl and chopsticks.

Then.

She placed them on the table, glared at Shazhu, then left again.

She maintained a black face the whole time.

Yi Dama and Second Aunt saw everything, but they didn't dare say anything.
