Chapter 1240: Shabu-shabu Hot Pot

Donglaishun

Cao Weiguo treats 'Little Bastard' and Sun Chao to hot pot and drinks.

"Brother! I'm sorry! It's me who caused you trouble!"

'Little Bastard' apologizes with guilt while eating the shabu-shabu mutton.

Cao Weiguo pours a glass of wine for 'Little Bastard': "You did nothing wrong. I know you cut Lu Lei's tendon for my sake. I want to thank you for this. However, you must think three times before you act in the future; you cannot be impulsive or reckless."

'Little Bastard' drinks the wine and swallows the piping hot mutton, nodding honestly: "I'll remember it!"

Sun Chao says with admiration: "Brother Cao! Your martial arts are truly amazing! Can you teach me a few moves!"

Cao Weiguo laughs: "What era is this? What's the use of being able to fight? If you want to have a future, you have to rely on your brain. Sun Chao, you are very smart and quick-witted. Learning martial arts will only delay your thinking. What you need is to read more books, not learn fists and feet."

Sun Chao says: "I'll listen to Brother! Brother! Then can you recommend a few books for me?"

Cao Weiguo: "When you have time, go buy 'The Art of War' by Sun Zi."

Sun Chao: "'The Art of War' by Sun Zi, I'll remember it. Thank you, Brother."

Cao Weiguo laughs: "You're still being polite with me. Drink."

"I toast Brother Cao!"

"Toast Brother Cao!"

"Cheers!"

The three raise their glasses and drink boldly, then devour the shabu-shabu mutton.

'Little Bastard' and Sun Chao have earned quite a bit of money, but eating shabu-shabu at Donglaishun requires not only money but also food coupons.

So, they haven't had many opportunities to come to Donglaishun to eat shabu-shabu.

Now that they have the chance to eat it, of course, they can't help but eat their fill.

Cao Weiguo watches their eating style and understands them in his heart.

Back in the day, they were like this the first time they ate shabu-shabu.

Because their eating style was too crude, they were even laughed at by other guests.

The parents of 'Little Bastard' and Sun Chao are ordinary small folks, and their family conditions are very average, even worse than the Jia family.

The Jia family cries about being poor all day, but at least Qin Huairu is a formal worker, holding an iron rice bowl.

But neither of the parents of 'Little Bastard' and Sun Chao are workers; they all do temporary manual labor.

Especially Sun Chao's family, which has two younger brothers and one younger sister. Before following Cao Weiguo, the family couldn't even get enough to eat, and clothes were patched and mended; the older brother wore them, then the younger brother, then the younger sister...

"Waiter! Three more plates of mutton."

Seeing that the mutton is almost gone, Cao Weiguo raises his hand and shouts.

"Enough! Brother Cao, no more, I'm full."

Sun Chao hurriedly swallows what's in his mouth, patting his stomach as he speaks.

"Brother! I'm full too. If we order more and can't finish it, it'll be a waste."

'Little Bastard' also shakes his head repeatedly. This mutton is too expensive. He has already eaten two whole plates of mutton; this is already luxurious enough. ===== CHAPTER 1242 =====
