Comfortable life in Siheyuan

Liu Qingshan made a special trip to find Nan Yi to ask him if he was interested in opening a restaurant with him.

But Nan Yi has now become the logistics director, and the box factory has always been profitable, unlike the steel rolling mill, where there has been no overtime for a long time.

Nan Yi really couldn't take care of both, and was reluctant to leave.

Liu Qingshan thought about it and decided to just open a hot pot restaurant. Then he would ask Sha Zhu to work out a suitable hot pot base. He also knew a little about hot pot bases, so it would not be difficult to make one. In this way, the restaurant could be opened.

Hotpot restaurants are more convenient and do not have such high requirements. The prices are affordable and acceptable to the general public.

He first took some time to find Captain Sun and clean up the house.

This house has two floors, but it is in a dilapidated state. The roof, walls and even the floor need to be cleaned up.

A lot of furniture was damaged, so Captain Sun found a carpenter to help repair it.

Liu Qingshan planned to make the first floor into a dining table and the second floor into private rooms. The style should be kept as much as possible in the original ancient style, which would also save money.

Liu Qingshan had many later decoration styles in his mind, but they were too avant-garde. He couldn't even find a crystal chandelier. Even if he could find one, the price wouldn't be worth it. Not to mention whether the current electricity supply could keep up.

Liu Qingshan doesn't have that much money on hand, so he should take it slow based on the existing conditions and not take too big steps.

Sha Zhu packed up his things early again today, and Fatty packed up the dishes he had prepared long ago and handed them to him.

"You're so sensible, Fatty!" Sha Zhu said with a smile!

"It's my pleasure, Master." The fat man said with a flattering smile.

At this time, Yu Li came over and saw Sha Zhu who was about to leave, and her brows couldn't help but frowned.

"Master He, there are still customers in this store. It's inappropriate for you to leave so early!"

"With the fat guy watching over here, nothing will go wrong." Sha Zhu didn't bother to be polite with her and just walked out the door.

Sha Zhu had no good feelings towards the couple. Although the third uncle was a stingy old man, he at least supported the whole family.

Although the third uncle is a bad person, Sha Zhu doesn't like him. But what Sha Zhu despises the most is people who don't respect the elderly. This is still influenced by Yi Zhonghai.

Sha Zhu walked into the courtyard with a proud look on his face. Several old men who were playing chess in the front yard were completely unable to move their eyes. They stared at the dishes in Sha Zhu's hand with surprise.

Sha Zhu ignored their gazes and walked back home.

"Old Yan, Zhuzi works in your restaurant. Why does he bring so many dishes every day?" Liu Haizhong asked in surprise.

"You are enjoying a good life. Every day your wife comes back and brings you some dishes. You don't have to worry about dinner." Yi Zhonghai deliberately joked.

Yan Bugui's heart was bleeding when he heard this, but he had no choice but to force out an ugly smile.

"What do you mean? We are not going to eat your food, so there is no need to make things difficult for us." Liu Haizhong thought that the third uncle was letting them take advantage of him.

"I didn't mean that. I'm embarrassed to say it. I don't have the face to say it." The third uncle felt a little ashamed.

"Auntie, you came back, but you didn't bring any food?" Yi Zhonghai asked knowingly.

"My son and daughter-in-law would never let their mother bring back any food. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but this restaurant has been open for such a long time and I haven't even tasted a dish of soup." Yan Bugui shook his head helplessly.

"Is this true? It's not possible. After all, you have helped take care of your eldest grandson for such a long time. Don't you have any gratitude at all?" Liu Haizhong almost spit out the tea in his mouth, but fortunately he swallowed it in advance.

"Old Yan, your famous saying that you can live without poverty if you don't plan well has been learned by your son and daughter-in-law. Now they are implementing your family management principles!"

"Old Yi, please don't laugh at me. I have no choice. There are many people in my family, and I'm the only one working. How can I support them all if I don't plan carefully?" Yan Bugui argued.

"What happened later? After the eldest son started working, you also took care of the other children and didn't leave any of them behind. Now, no one comes to see you all year round." Yi Zhonghai criticized mercilessly.

"Old Yi, stop talking. Wasn't it difficult for me too? You didn't have any children at the time and your salary was high, so of course it was easy for you to talk."

"You are wrong. I also have three children, and I work alone to support the whole family. But I don't scheme like you do, do I?" Liu Haizhong followed.

It would have been better if Liu Haizhong didn't say anything. When he spoke, Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui both looked at him.

Yi Zhonghai almost laughed out loud, muttering to himself: "You do have the brains to scheme, and even so, your children are not that strong. Guang Qi has been on the run for more than ten years. How can you have the nerve to say that?"

There were five or six dishes on the dining table at Sha Zhu's house. He Daqing looked at Sha Zhu and asked with a smile, "You don't plan to work in this restaurant for a long time, do you?"

"Hehe! You figured it out!" Shazhu laughed foolishly.

"What kind of cook would bring food home like this? You're obviously going to mess it up!" He Daqing bluntly exposed his thoughts.

"That's not the case. Making money is no problem. It's just that I can't stand the character of the couple. You know me, I have a straightforward temper and I won't be able to work for long." Sha Zhu said bluntly.

"Then you should spend some time observing how other people run restaurants, and then we can find a store and open one. With our skills, it should be no problem for us to run a restaurant." He Daqing said with a smile.

"Then what should I do with my job? I'm a canteen director now, in charge of dozens of people. But I dare not resign!" Sha Zhu said hesitantly.

"You watch here first, and when Qingshan comes back, we'll ask him. I'll also visit my fellow apprentices these days to see how they're doing." He Daqing was tempted when he saw that the Yan family's restaurant was doing so well.

"Okay, I'll figure this out myself!"

In the evening, Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng waited until the restaurant closed and sat together to settle the bill.

"Jie Cheng, I want to fire Sha Zhu. I've been observing these days and I found that the dishes in the restaurant are basically made by Fatty. Do you think we can raise Fatty's salary and fire Sha Zhu directly?" Yu Li said shrewdly.

"I think it's okay. Find some time to talk to Fatty in private and see if this will work."

The couple had long disliked Sha Zhu and had been dissatisfied with him for a long time.

The next day, as soon as the fat man got to work, Yu Li called him over.

"Fatty, you've been here for such a long time, tell me honestly how your sister Yu treats you, is there nothing to say?" In fact, Yu Li has only been polite to him in recent days. She was always picking on him before.

"Madam, if you have something to say, just say it. We have been together for such a long time, and I will definitely not be vague about what I can do." The fat man was not stupid. He said this readily, but in fact he did not agree to anything.
