Siheyuan, I, Silly Zhu, picked up the Qinman script

Three years ago, Sha Zhu hired a master named Lei to enclose the area that was originally a small garden, built a new house, and merged it with the previous courtyard house with a single entrance to form a courtyard house with two entrances.

This has led to the current situation of wealthy and powerful families.

Some people who once laughed at Sha Zhu for having so much money but nowhere to spend it are now looking at all this with envy and jealousy.

Including Yu Li and her husband who came in person this time, they were also part of the group that laughed at Sha Zhu.

It's a bit like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden. Looking at the surrounding layouts, I have a weird feeling. My eyes are not enough, and I feel that the building they live in now is not nice anymore.

The advantage of living in a building is that you don’t have to queue up at the public toilet outside. When they entered the courtyard, they saw a house with the word "Bathroom" marked on it. There was no need to guess, it must be a toilet.

I praised him a few times with envy.

A barely perceptible hint of satisfaction flashed across Li Xiuzhi's face, and then she pushed the blame on Sha Zhu.

"This is all caused by my husband. I didn't do anything to help."

"Very good. I didn't expect that Master He has such leisure time."

Yu Li was worried that Yan Jiecheng would not lock the door and call out Sha Zhu, which would annoy Li Xiuzhi and make Sha Zhu unhappy when he appeared in front of them with his old daughter in his arms, thus ruining their plan to recruit Sha Zhu as a chef. She was even more worried that Sha Zhu, out of resentment, would ask for a higher price, so she decided to lose more than she gained, so she took the initiative to talk to Sha Zhu before Yan Jiecheng could open his mouth, calling him Master He all the time.

"Master He, our boss came to learn from you that day."

Yan Jiecheng knew what Yu Li meant by that. He was not angry but felt very happy. If Yu Li had not spoken first, he would have really called him "Shazhu".

Not to mention the deputy factory director's experience, just this unique two-courtyard courtyard in front of Houhai is enough to make anyone look up to Sha Zhu, especially since Sha Zhu has made a name for himself in the antique business.

It is not an exaggeration to call him a master.

His name is Shazhu.

How can I get closer to Shazhu?

He forced a smile and said something following Yu Li's lead.

"Master He, you have to teach me."

"We are all neighbors in the same compound. We will meet each other sooner or later." Li Xiuzhi smoothed things over and asked Yu Li and her husband to sit on the rattan chairs next to them. "Sit down, sit down and chat. I'll make tea for you."

During the renovation, the front yard was slightly expanded and a red plum tree was transplanted. Next to the red plum tree is a small pavilion with a wooden table inside and some rattan chairs around the table. In the summer, Li Xiuzhi and her family would eat at this small table, and in the evening when they had nothing to do, they would sit in the pavilion to enjoy the cool air.

There was a teapot and a thermos next to them. Even though Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng repeatedly said they were not thirsty, Li Xiuzhi still poured them each a cup of tea. The eldest son of the He family brought some snacks such as melon seeds from the inner room and placed them on the table.

Sha Zhu greeted Yu Li and her husband, while Li Xiuzhi stayed beside them.

The little girl Jiujiu was carried away by her brother and sister.

The two parties exchanged a few simple greetings.

Seeing that Sha Zhu was slow to ask them why they were there, Yu Li became impatient and went straight to the point.

"Master He, sister-in-law, you are all here. I think you already know why my husband and I are here. Just like my father said, Jie Cheng and I opened a restaurant specializing in Sichuan cuisine. Business was okay at the beginning, but it has been getting worse and worse recently. Let's close it. We have invested so much money and can't even make back the cost of renovation. If we open it, the chef's salary and the service staff's expenses are all expenses. We really have no other choice, so we come to Master He for help. I would like to ask Master He to come to our restaurant to help."

"I'll pay you 400 yuan a month."

Yan Jiecheng didn't have as many thoughts as Yu Li. He thought that Sha Zhu didn't say anything because he must not know how much monthly salary he paid him, so he had the idea of ​​throwing money at him.

The current salary of an eighth-level technician is around 150 yuan. Paying Sha Zhu 400 yuan a month is equivalent to the salary of two and a half eighth-level technicians.

I think I am very sincere.

If you don’t consider the friendship between neighbors, you have to consider the friendship based on money.

Yan Jiecheng had never seen a person who had money but didn't want to earn it in his life.

Yu Li's foot touched Yan Jiecheng. If Sha Zhu and his wife hadn't been sitting opposite her, she really wanted to slap Yan Jiecheng twice.

Does anyone talk like this?

It has already happened, it's too late to say anything, now it depends on what response Sha Zhu gives.

"Jie Cheng, Yu Li, when I saw the third uncle today, I told him that it's not that I don't want to be a chef in your restaurant. The fact that you hired me shows that you have me in your heart and think highly of me. But unfortunately, I have also been thinking about opening a restaurant recently. Now that the economy is good and people's pockets are bulging, my husband and I are planning to open a high-end restaurant that caters to the upper class elite. I can only appreciate your kindness."

Yu Li's heart.

It's completely cold.

Yan Jiecheng also felt bad.

When they came, the couple had plans A and B. For the former, Sha Zhu disagreed and just threw money at them. If they didn't work for 400 yuan a month, he would give them 500 yuan a month. If they didn't work for 500 yuan, he would give them 600 yuan. There would be no more from 600 yuan. Otherwise, the restaurant would be like running it for Sha Zhu. For the latter, he thought that Sha Zhu saw their difficulties and was deliberately holding them back. He wanted to wait until they were penniless and then take over the restaurant at a low price. They didn't even need to change the signboard and could just open the restaurant and make money.

I underestimated Sha Zhu. Sha Zhu didn't like their current restaurant at all, and I didn't hear Sha Zhu say he wanted to open a high-end restaurant.

What is high-end.

Naturally, spend money.

Yu Li’s restaurant doesn’t even have a private room.

The couple lost hope instantly.

Just as they were about to get up and say goodbye, Sha Zhu stopped them again.

"Yu Li, Jie Cheng, your restaurant's business is not good. Is it because the prices are high, or something else?"

"Master He, I'm embarrassed to say it."

Seeing Yu Li's embarrassed look, Sha Zhu guessed that the chef's cooking skills were not good.

In fact, the money is still not enough.

of course.

Some people still hold on to the old mindset and would not go no matter how much money they are offered, just because this restaurant is private, not public.

"I have several apprentices. Ma Hua is now the monitor of the second canteen of the steel mill." When he met Ma Hua that day and knew that Ma Hua was in urgent need of money, Sha Zhu mentioned Ma Hua's name, "There are a few others who are deputy monitors. If you want to change chefs, you can go find them. You can discuss the specific conditions with them. Ma Hua has learned most of my skills. He should be able to run your Sichuan restaurant."

Yu Li and her husband thought they had no way out.

I felt happy again all of a sudden.

He smiled and thanked Sha Zhu for introducing the chef, got Ma Hua's address, and left Sha Zhu's house.

The two of them left.

Xu Damao followed closely.

Biesun did not consider himself an outsider. He walked around the courtyard with a happy face.

He sat down on the stool and saw four cups of tea and some snacks on the table. He knew that a guest had arrived, so he asked.

"Could it be that the person coming is Li Huaide?"

"Why do you ask?" Sha Zhu said, "It's Yu Li and her husband."

"They want you to be a chef?"

"Boy, you are really well-informed."

"This is no longer a secret in the courtyard. The couple opened a restaurant, but they didn't have enough money, so they borrowed part of it from Yan Fugui. Yan Fugui also charged interest. Since the restaurant couldn't continue, they had to pay the interest. They had no other choice, so they came to you for help. Did you agree?"

"No."

"Four or five hundred yuan a month, not earning money?"

"Bullshit, I also want to open a restaurant, a high-end Sichuan restaurant."

Xu Damao stared at Sha Zhu like a stranger.

He thought that the reason why Sha Zhu refused to agree was that he also wanted to open a restaurant. He was half right. Sha Zhu wanted to open a high-end Sichuan restaurant.

Some words.

So I didn’t say anything more.

Then he thought, what is the relationship between him and Sha Zhu? How can he not tell him? So he told Sha Zhu his intention.

"I originally wanted to open a restaurant with you, but you wanted to open a high-end restaurant, and I don't have that much money. Forget it, I'd better do something else."

"You don't want to work at the steel mill anymore?"

"Just like you, I also applied for unpaid leave."

Even though Sha Zhu doesn't work at the steel mill, he knows about those things happening there. After all, Ma Hua is his apprentice, and Liu Lan is someone he brought up. Xu Damao was promoted to the head of the Propaganda Department three years ago. He has done a good job in the past three years. I heard that he will be promoted to deputy director in charge of propaganda. At this critical juncture, he is taking a leave of absence from his job and going into business.

It’s really Xu Damao.

"Does your wife know? Does she agree?"

"I have convinced her. Why would she disagree? You know Liu Haizhong. It's only been a few days since he got rich. I know his tricks. He just relies on his official apprentice to get approval. At most, we can get the goods from Liu Haizhong first and hold them for a few days. We can make at least five yuan for every hundred yuan. This money is better than working."

Xu Damao is eloquent.

Good at interpersonal relationships.

He was born to be a businessman.

In the script, Xu Damao was the first one to wear a suit, leather shoes, and a big gold chain. He even showed off the brand of his clothes, Pierre Cardin, to Sha Zhu, who was wearing a steel mill work uniform. He was also the first one to use a mobile phone. If Lou Xiao'e had not brought her son He Xiao back to look for Sha Zhu, which stimulated Xu Damao, Xu Damao would not have been able to risk everything on doing business with You Fengxia, and ended up having all his net worth taken away by You Fengxia.

"Okay, that's how the money comes." Sha Zhu thought of what Xu Damao had just said about Li Huaide, and asked, "You just mentioned Li Huaide, what happened to him? Did you see him?"

Li Xiuzhi also turned her gaze to Xu Damao.

Three years ago, Qin Huairu misunderstood something about Li Huaide and You Fengxia, and she even made a scene.

"Yes." Xu Damao said seriously, "A few days ago, I went out to eat with a few people from the publicity department. After dinner, they went to sing."

Now there are places dedicated to singing in the capital.

It is not a box design, but a large hall with flashing or rolling lights for singing and dancing on the roof. On one wall is a large screen similar to a movie screen, which plays videotapes of some songs.

The kind of song tapes that are sold specifically from Hong Kong Island.

The singer sings along with the lyrics on the screen.

Everyone takes turns to request a song, and whoever's turn it is takes the microphone and sings.

There are some semi-public sofa booths around the hall. In front of the booths are tables with some drinks such as beer and food.

The business is booming. Before Bang Geng went in, he would often hang out in these places with others.

"While singing, I found that the person next to me sounded very familiar. After thinking for a while, I realized that this must be Li Huaide. Then I went over with my glass of wine and chatted with Li Huaide for a while."

In the script, Xu Damao ran into Li Huaide when Qin Huairu invited the neighbors to dinner in order to show off that the Jia family had taken over the restaurant opened with money from Lou Xiaoe. She met Li Huaide and You Fengxia in the karaoke bar.

In reality, I met Li Huaide again in the karaoke bar.

"Li Huaide was alone? Didn't he see You Fengxia?" Sha Zhu quickly added, "Three years ago, Li Huaide invited me to dinner, and You Fengxia showed up halfway. Later, Qin Huairu came to me and made a scene, saying that Xiao Dang ran off with You Fengxia, and she insisted that I give her an explanation."

"Yes, when I walked in, the pretty girl singing was You Fengxia. I didn't know about this until she sat down next to Li Huaide. Guess who else was there?"

Silly pillar's heart.

A move.

Who else?

Could it be Xiao Dang?

At the beginning, Xiao Dang followed You Fengxia and kept saying that she wanted to make a lot of money. It was impossible that You Fengxia would come back with Li Huaide and Xiao Dang would disappear.

If this were really the case, Qin Huairu, who knew about this, would probably want to tear You Fengxia apart.

"Xiaodang?"

Li Xiuzhi tried to say a name.

Under the couple's attentive gaze, Xu Damao nodded heavily.

Sha Zhu's heart almost flew out.

Good guy.

It’s really that yellow-haired girl Xiaodang.

"Silly Zhu, sister-in-law, you will be shocked when you see Xiao Dang. She is just like the concubine of a rich landlord in the movies, wearing heavy makeup and nestling in Li Huaide's arms. She is Li Huaide's woman now."

"Hey."

"Why are you sighing? If it weren't for Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai's repeated pressure, Xiao Dang wouldn't have ended up in this place. Besides, I have money to spend now."

"Xu Damao, have you decided what kind of business to start? A shell company?"

"Silly Zhu, you are amazing. You all know the name of the shell company. To be honest with you two, I really think so. We don't have the capital, so we can only rely on personal relationships. Liu Haizhong is also a person living in the backyard. I have done nothing these days, just flattering Liu Haizhong. Liu Haizhong agreed to give me 100 tons of rebar. Let's see what this is."

Xu Damao took out a piece of paper with his name on it from his bag.

Handed it to Shazhu.

With the help of the lights in the courtyard, it was clear that it was something like a note with the words "receive 100 tons of rebar" written on it, and below it was the official seal of the steel plant and the signature of the factory manager.

I remember that Liu Haizhong finally cheated his apprentice who was the manager of the rebar factory.
