From Siheyuan to Hong Kong Island Tycoon

After hearing the bell for the end of get off work in the evening, the workers of the steel mill began to walk out of the gate one after another.

The workers walked and discussed the interesting things that happened during work today.

A worker said: "Ever since Sha Zhu and Nan Yi resigned, the taste of the food in our factory has really plummeted."

"The cabbage we stewed at noon today must have beaten the person who bought the salt to death."

Another worker said: "Shazhu and Nanyi are now the chefs of Longteng Hotel. I heard that many people go to the restaurant to eat."

The worker just now said: "Come on, I'll treat you today, let's go and try it."

Yan Jiefang excitedly said to his brother Yan Jiecheng: "Brother, I've asked around, the special dishes at Longteng Restaurant really are only a few cents."

"It seems that our father has to treat us to this meal. I can even imagine the bitter look on his face."

"Hahaha".

As he laughed, Yan Jiefang sighed again. Yan Jiecheng asked, "Jiefang, what's wrong with you? Didn't you sound very happy just now?"

Yan Jiefang said: "Brother, I'm worried that our dad will cheat. What if he doesn't admit it?"

"Plus with our mother helping out, I think this matter has a good chance of failing."

Hearing Yan Jiefang's worries, Yan Jiecheng was speechless.

After all, they know their father too well. Given Yan Bugui's character, he would definitely do such a thing.

Yan Jiecheng said: "If our father cheats, we will not give him our food expenses anymore."

Yan Jiefang clapped his hands and said, "Brother, your idea is good."

"Every meal we eat is just steamed bread and pickles. With this money, I might as well go to Longteng Restaurant for dinner."

"Then we can eat whatever we want and we don't have to suffer the humiliation at home."

Yan Bugui and his wife, Aunt San, were also sitting at home worrying. Today, when Yan Bugui got off work, he went to the entrance of the restaurant on purpose.

When I saw the vegetable prices written on the cardboard at the door, they were indeed as cheap as Yan Jiefang said.

When he saw this, Yan Bugui suddenly panicked. It seemed that he was bound to lose this bet.

The third aunt said: "Why don't we just pretend that we don't know, so we can save money."

Yan Bugui squinted his eyes and thought that what the third aunt said was feasible, so he simply pretended to know nothing about anything and wanted me, Yan Bugui, to pay for the restaurant, which was simply impossible.

Soon, the two brothers of the Yan family returned to the yard and ran home excitedly.

Yan Jiecheng said with a smile: "I have asked around with Dad and Mom, and the prices of dishes in the restaurant are just that cheap."

"So you two lost the bet yesterday."

Yan Jiefang also said: "Brother, you are right. I will admit defeat if I lose the bet. You have to treat me to this meal."

"Sister-in-law, brother and sister, please pack up and let's go to a restaurant together."

Yu Li, Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi also responded happily.

Yan Bugui said with a straight face: "What bet? How come I don't know about it?"

"You two brothers, stop making noise here."

"Besides, your mother has already prepared the meal, so why go to a restaurant? Just eat at home."

The third aunt also shouted in the kitchen: "Your father is right, how can a son make a bet with his father? I think you two brats deserve a beating."

Seeing his father playing tricks, Yan Jiecheng said: "Dad, there is no one like you. You are an educated man, how can you go back on your word?"

Hearing his son's words, Yan Bugui's old face blushed, but when he thought of the money and bills in his pocket, Yan Bugui still said: "Steamed buns and porridge are also delicious."

"When cutting the pickles, I asked your mother to drop two drops of sesame oil on them."

Yan Jiefang snorted coldly and said: "Dad, since you are so unkind, don't blame us brothers for being unjust."

"From tomorrow on, my brother and I will not pay for food."

"Anyway, it won't cost much to eat out in a restaurant in the future, so why should we just eat steamed buns and pickles at home every day?"

Upon hearing that the two brothers were not going to pay for their meals, Yan Bugui said anxiously, "You two little bastards, is it easy for me to raise you to this age?"

"Besides, even if the restaurant's food is cheap, don't you still need a ticket?"

"How much would it cost if you ate in restaurants every meal?"

Yan Jiecheng said: "Dad, you don't have to worry about this."

"At worst, we two brothers can go to Pigeon Market or get some tickets from other people. It's not a difficult task."

Yan Bugui pointed at the two brothers angrily and shouted, "You, are you trying to piss me off to death?"

The third aunt also hurried out from the kitchen and said, "Jie Cheng Jiefang, how could you make your father so angry?"

Yan Jiefang said confidently: "My father was the first to break his promise, so it's not our fault."

After a heated discussion, Yan Bugui finally compromised and agreed to the bet of treating the guest to a meal at a restaurant.

The third aunt then said: "But I have prepared today's meal, let's go tomorrow. Anyway, we have a day off tomorrow, so there is no rush."

The two brothers of the Yan family laughed and said, "Okay, then it's settled, we'll go tomorrow.

At the same time, Qin Huairu sat listlessly in a chair in a daze. Yi Zhonghai asked, "Huairu, did you go to the restaurant today?"

"Are there many people in the restaurant? And have you seen Shazhu, Xu Damao and the others?"

Qin Huairu poured a cup of boiled water and said, "The factory was busy today and we got off work a little later than usual, so I didn't go."

Ever since Yi Zhonghai applied for early retirement from the factory, Qin Huairu's life in the factory has become much worse than before.

In the past, she had Yi Zhonghai, an eighth-level worker, protecting her, so even if she was lazy and slacked off, although others were resentful, they still had to give Yi Zhonghai some face.

But now Yi Zhonghai is retired, who will take care of her?

This afternoon, Qin Huairu scrapped two parts again and was scolded by the team leader and workshop director again.

Not only that, she was also asked to go to the warehouse and move back five boxes of spare parts, which made Qin Huairu very tired.

Around seven o'clock, Sha Zhu and his friends returned to the yard, talking and laughing.

Xu Damao said: "Zhu Zi, Nan Yi, you didn't see it. Today, two groups of people outside almost got into a fight because of queuing."

"Fortunately, I stopped it in time and avoided a conflict."

Sha Zhu: "Stop being so cocky, this is what you should do."

Qin Jingru smiled and said, "You two have been arguing for so many years, and you don't feel tired."

"By the way, my two younger brothers from my hometown want to be apprentices in the kitchen. Brother Zhuzi and Brother Nanyi, you have to take good care of them when the time comes."

Sha Zhu and Nan Yi: "What do I take it as a big deal? It's just a small matter."
