I asked you to cross the courtyard, why do you say such things to everyone you meet?

Several days had passed since the drunkards’ fight, and life in the courtyard had gradually returned to normal.

However, to everyone's surprise, Xu Damao's restaurant business was getting better and better.

Everyone was puzzled. Wasn’t it said that Xu Damao’s restaurant was opened not far from the Lin family’s big restaurant?

How could his small restaurant compete with the Lin family's big restaurant?

Are the dishes delicious?

That shouldn’t be the case!

What good cook could Xu Damao find? Everyone in the courtyard really didn't believe that Xu Damao could find a cook who was better than Sha Zhu.

As he said, there are many people who are better at cooking than Master Sha Zhu and his apprentice, but Xu Damao doesn't know any of them.

The eldest brother Yan Jiecheng and his wife saw that Lin Yi and Xu Damao were both successful, and they also wanted to get a piece of the pie.

They can't rely on Lin Yi. He's a big boss and he's rich, right?

But they felt that Xu Damao could still be asked, so Yan Jiecheng and his wife came to see Xu Damao early in the morning.

"Good morning, brother Damao!" Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng came with gifts.

Xu Damao glanced at the gifts that Yan Jiecheng and his wife were carrying with some disdain.

But he thought about it and didn't refuse.

Signaled to the couple to put their things down.

When Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li saw that there was a chance, they happily sat down, chatted with Xu Damao about some random things, and then got down to business, asking for advice on opening a store.

Xu Damao started to make excuses: "Jie Cheng, Yu Li! Logically speaking, we are not outsiders. Jie Cheng, we are almost brothers-in-law, right? Our relationship is beyond doubt."

"Yes, yes, yes." Although Yan Jiecheng felt annoyed, he agreed in order to get rich.

"But, again, brothers still have to settle accounts. I know the tradition of your Yan family. Let me pass on my experience in running a restaurant to you. If you run a restaurant and don't make money, I won't take a penny.

But if we make money, I want 20% of your shares." Xu Damao held up two fingers, his face full of confidence.

"What? 20%? No, no. Xu Damao, you are robbing us! You don't do anything, but you want 20% of our profit. This won't work. It means we are working for you for nothing! No."

Yan Jiecheng got anxious when he heard this. What? I just came here to learn from you and talk to you. You actually want to take 20% of the profit from me? You must be joking.

Xu Damao was not annoyed after hearing what Yan Jiecheng said, and still had a confident look on his face: "Jiecheng, this is meaningless. I am also making a profit. I am not taking your money for nothing. I am doing real work. So, I will give you another convenience. If you two don't have enough funds, I can lend you money. I won't ask for any interest from you. How about it? That's good enough!"

Yan Jiecheng was surprised to hear this. Just as he was about to speak,

Yu Li grabbed Yan Jiecheng and pinched him hard, then she said to Xu Damao with a smile: "Da Mao! This matter! As you know, this is a big deal for our family. Let's go back and discuss it. We'll come back to you when we've made up our minds. Is that ok?"

"Okay, why not? Sister Li said this. This business is something that both of us are willing to do. You two should go back and think about it carefully. As the saying goes, opportunities are rare and never come back. Come to me as soon as you have made up your mind!"

Xu Damao escorted Yan Jiecheng and his wife out.

"Brother-in-law, do you really want to teach them both?"

When Xu Damao came back, he saw his brother-in-law Qin Yingjun looking at him with burning eyes.

"Of course! We are all from the same courtyard, so we can make money together! Hehehe!"

Qin Yingjun was full of admiration and felt that his brother-in-law was very generous.

But Qin Jingru rolled her eyes. She didn't even know what kind of person her husband was. He must be up to something bad again!

"Yingjun, don't blindly follow your brother-in-law. Just work hard and try to bring your parents, your wife and children to the city as soon as possible."

"Okay, sister. I got it." Qin Yingjun ate his food, listened to his sister and nodded.

"Hey! Jingru, this is meaningless. What do you mean by blindly learning from me? I have real skills. Just talk about our restaurant! What if it wasn't me?

It was able to be revived. Now it has a constant stream of customers, and it is not much worse than Lin Ergou's. I'm telling you, Jingru, I'm not bragging, but within half a year, I will bring down Lin Ergou's restaurant.

Not only did I defeat him, I also took him in. I asked Lin Ergou and Sha Zhu to work for me to earn money, believe it or not."

Xu Damao gritted his teeth, held his head high, and looked arrogant.

"Come on, don't you know how much meat you have? You still accept it from others. You'd be lucky if they don't accept it." Qin Jingru was not happy after hearing her husband's bold words. Instead, she felt a little worried.

Others might not know, but how could she not know?

Although their business seems to be booming, they don't actually make much. After all, the prices are low and the portions are large, and their main selling point is affordability, which is what attracts many customers.

Moreover, because their house was close to the Lin family's restaurant, they picked up many customers who couldn't wait, so they made a lot of money.

"By the way, Yingjun, does your dad know how to make wine?"

Hearing Xu Damao's greeting, Qin Yingjun was stunned, then thought for a while before nodding.

"Yes, brother-in-law, Dad does make some wine, but he doesn't have the skills, he can only make some for himself to drink."

"That's enough. So, you go back tomorrow, no, today, take some money and food, and ask him to make some wine for me. Once it's brewed, I can use it."

Xu Damao said to Qin Yingjun without even raising his head.

Qin Yingjun said "oh" to indicate that he understood, and he didn't ask Xu Damao what he wanted to do.

Just because he didn’t ask doesn’t mean Qin Jingru won’t ask!

"Xu Damao, what do you want to do? I'm telling you, don't think of any bad ideas! Our business has just started, you can't mess around!"

Qin Jingru is very satisfied with her current life. Although she cannot compare with Lin Yi, He Yuzhu and others, she lives much better than others!

Although they don't earn much in the restaurant, it's still much more than those working in the factory.

If she hadn't been so confident at the beginning, she would have wanted to quit her job and help out in her own restaurant.

"You know nothing, go back to work. Women, don't interfere in our men's affairs. Yingjun, remember my words! You will have a good life if you follow me, your brother-in-law.

When the time comes, it will be no problem to bring my parents, wife and children to the city.

It turns out that Lin Yi, who lives next door, knows about this! Ha, didn’t their family just buy a small courtyard?

When we have money, we will buy this courtyard house. Your sister and I will live in the backyard, your parents will live in the front yard, and your family will live in the middle yard. Right!"

Xu Damao tempted Qin Yingjun and nodded.

"Haha! Haha! Brother-in-law, that won't work, that won't work. You have to live in the middle courtyard with my sister."

Qin Yingjun smiled in a silly and naive way.
