Chapter 273: Liu Guangtian Teaches His Younger Brothers
At the main table.
The three senior gentlemen sat together, each accompanied by his own wife.
Yi Zhonghai was steady and composed, in a celebratory mood, and said to the three senior gentlemen:
"Seniors, your family's matter also needs to be settled quickly."
"If you don't settle it, what will Xu Damao do? If Xu Damao doesn't settle it, what will Yang Qing do?"
"Don't forget, we've already given the banquet money to Yang Qing; if you don't settle it, you'll delay everyone's improvement in meals."
The three senior gentlemen originally thought they could definitely escape this time, but who knew that in the end there was still Yi Zhonghai, this guy, coming to ruin things for him, especially since Yi Zhonghai put on an act of doing good for everyone.
This left the three senior gentlemen unable to refute.
The second senior gentleman also said:
"By year's end, my family's Guangqi will return, and then we'll also settle it."
"Old Yan, you need to straighten your attitude, don't have so many petty thoughts; you can't escape it, sooner or later it must be settled."
The three senior gentlemen were pressured by the two people, and at that point he could no longer shirk responsibility; he nodded reluctantly.
"Fine, fine, fine, can't I just not do it?"
"Let's wait a few more months; I'll save up money, that should work."
Yi Zhonghai and the second senior gentleman were then satisfied.
The three senior ladies did not join the men's conversation; they were merely talking about the quality of the food.
First senior lady: "Nan Yi's cooking skills are really good, they can compete with Zhuzi's."
Second senior lady: "We haven't eaten Sha Zhu's dishes many times, so we really don't know, but Nan Yi's cooking skills are truly good."
Third senior lady: "Liang Ladi has really hit the jackpot."
The people in the compound ate voraciously, and the dishes were quickly emptied.
After Mao Yi made a round of toasts, he brought out the remaining dishes to serve everyone more.
Liu Shumin ate Nan Yi's dishes, praising them in her mouth.
"The rice Nan Yi made can compete with yours."
"He Yuzhu, when you have free time, you two should exchange ideas."
She hoped Sha Zhu would learn it, then teach it to her own younger brother.
He Yuzhu is an expert, having already grasped the essence; he introduced it to Liu Shumin.
"This is Shandong cuisine style, the flavor emphasizes heartiness."
"Although I can also do it, I'm not as proficient as he is."
"Of course, compared to others, you guys, you're not afraid of him either."
He Yuzhu said this, while inside he already had the desire to befriend Nan Yi; speaking kindly, it's mutual admiration.
Speaking frankly, he's a bit itchy to show off his skills, wanting to spar with Nan Yi.
In a compound, only one can be the head chef; the rest can only be assistants, and he doesn't want to be an assistant.
Xu Damao noticed the change in Sha Zhu's expression and mocked:
"Sha Zhu, if I hadn't eaten your dishes, I'd believe it; Nan Yi obviously has been guided by a famous master."
"Moreover, they do it very conscientiously; I've seen it, every table's dishes are made very carefully."
"Unlike you, who often just go through the motions for work, at least in attitude you're inferior to them."
He Yuzhu's deadpan face glared, and his voice suddenly rose a bit.
"Xu Damao, you don't know shit; they eat the people's fat and oil every day, and I still have to wholeheartedly serve them?"
"As long as the flavor is there, it's fine."
"We are workers; we most dislike those who eat and drink extravagantly."
He Yuzhu spoke with righteous confidence, but in an instant Liu Shumin twisted his ear.
"He Yuzhu, are you sick? What does other people's eating and drinking have to do with you? Just do your job as a cook."
"I say your rank can't go up; the reason is right here."
Just now still arrogant Sha Zhu instantly became a timid lamb, grabbing Liu Shumin's hand and repeatedly begging for mercy.
"Wife, I was wrong, it hurts, hurts, hurts, quickly let go."
Afterwards he whispered:
"Out there, can you give me some face?"
Liu Shumin snorted and let go of his hand.
"Hmph, I'll deal with you again at home."
Xu Damao saw this and almost burst out laughing.
Yu Li then looked toward Yan Jie Cheng's ears.
Lou Xiao'e didn't pay much attention to their squabble; anyway, she had no worries in that regard.
Liu Guangtian then sat at a table with a group of children, each child getting one pair of chopsticks and a portion of food, the rest being his.
He is now the kids' king; no one dares to object, and his distribution is also fair, so there's usually little left over.
It can be said that their table is the most civilized when it comes to eating.
Unlike other tables, where hands and chopsticks fly about, eating a meal is like fighting.
While eating, Liu Guangtian also educated his little brothers.
"Quality, quality, do you see it clearly? This is what we call quality."
"We are aspiring youth of the new era; we can't learn to be like them, lacking quality and awareness."
"What is the result of their scrambling and grabbing?"
Have they eaten more? No, you've eaten too much from this plate, so that plate has less.
In the end, they might not be able to finish all the dishes.
Why is it like this?
Because they have no rules, each doing as they please; if they had the same default distribution principle as us, would they still end up red-faced and fighting over it?
Without contention, people become modest and acquire quality.
This is the power of rules.
A group of little brothers admiringly looked at Liu Guangtian; this big brother is simply too awesome.
Liu Guangtian waved his hand at that moment.
Liu Guang Fu brought several people, carrying basins and baskets, and rushed out.
Just then, Nan Yi was about to bring out the leftover dishes.
Several people swarmed forward, first filling their own plates, then helping Nan Yi add dishes to the other tables.
After they all returned, Liu Guangtian began educating them again.
Did you see? A team, even with rules, is not enough; it also needs a leader.
Did you see just now? Only our table had someone take the initiative, so our basin is full, while others only have half a basin.
This is the role of a leader.
Why is it like that?
Because we have rules, unlike them, who fight and quarrel, dislike each other; most people just want to reap without effort, and even those who want to act become unwilling to act because of their attitude.
This is like the former Nationalist government and the previous dynasty, constantly fighting internally and never achieving anything.
We, however, are united as one, sweeping across the world.
So, brothers, whoever engages in internal strife brings disaster; only by standing united can we slay gods and Buddhas alike.
A bunch of little brats, admiringly looking at Liu Guangtian, felt that the big brother was incredibly awesome and really knew a lot.
The nearby tables, hearing Liu Guangtian's words, unconsciously slowed their speed of picking dishes.
Reading makes one wise, who would have thought that the blockhead Liu Guangtian would actually turn out like this?
Yang Qing, hearing Liu Guangtian's words, felt relieved and had a sense of pride as if his own child had grown up.
Just based on his current persuasive talent, his future prospects are limitless.
He hasn't done much, just occasionally clearing up his confusion.
All of this is Liu Guangtian's own effort.
Given Liu Guangtian's current influence, the hope for Er Da Ye to attack him is becoming increasingly slim.
These are still those little brats, not grown up yet; when they get older, who will be in charge of this estate?
No matter who becomes the elder, they will have to listen to Liu Guangtian's opinion.
As the sky grew darker, the banquet slowly dispersed.
After a feast, both hosts and guests were happy.
