Siheyuan, I became a commercial tycoon in the culinary world

Chapter 15 He Daqing leaves without saying goodbye

Seeing that she couldn't persuade Yi Zhonghai, the aunt had no choice but to give up. After all, it was her inability to have children that led to this incident.

So he had no choice but to deliver food to the deaf old lady.

As the footsteps of the old lady gradually faded away, Yi Zhonghai finally calmed down.

He slowly lit the hookah and took two deep puffs. Amid the smoke, his eyes became deep and complex.

He's thoughts turned around and around. Wasn't He Daqing going to help Bai Guafu? This was a good opportunity.

If Daqing passes away, leaving these two siblings helpless in the courtyard, I just need to give them more help and care. Why should I worry that they will not take care of me in my old age?

But this evening, Sha Zhu's attitude towards everyone suddenly seemed different from before. I wonder if he can be trusted?

Forget it, I'll go to White Widow and stir up some more fires, so that He Daqing can go to Baoding as soon as possible!

This way I'll have time to properly discipline Shazhu.

Yi Zhonghai made up his mind.

Everyone in the compound was making their own plans, and He Yuzhu was even starting to think about his and Yu Shui's future life.

It seems that he can't keep He Daqing. Not only will he have to go to work, but he will also have to take care of a seven-year-old girl and face these beasts in the courtyard. How can he not live a good life?

The weather was about to get colder. According to the memories of the previous life, the winter in the city of Siheyuan was very cold, and it was normal for the entire city to be covered with snow.

The tiles on the roofs of these two houses are very old and it’s time to replace them. Otherwise, it will be a bit boring when it snows heavily.

He had already thought about it. While He Daqing was still here, he would quickly replace the tiles in the two rooms.

So he found an opportunity to explain the matter to He Yuzhu and He Daqing, and He Daqing readily agreed.

The father and son calculated the tiles and materials needed for the two rooms and started to work.

On this day, He Yuzhu had to ask for leave from Li Chuqiu again. At this time, Fengze Garden could no longer do without He Yuzhu!

Whenever a dish that he had not touched was served to a customer, the customer would ask, "Why does it taste different this time?"

Li Chuqiu had no choice but to say, "My apprentice has asked for leave today..."

Seeing that He Yuzhu was asking for leave again, Li Chuqiu was a little anxious, "Zhuzi, what do you want to do? Master can do it for you, can you please stop asking for leave? Master can't stand it anymore..."

"Master, I do have an urgent matter. The roof of my house may not survive the winter if it is not repaired, so I have to find someone to repair it..." He Yuzhu had no choice but to tell the truth.

"Yuzhui! Are you dissatisfied with the low salary I pay you and don't want to work anymore? How about I give you a raise of 5 yuan?" Shen Teng's voice suddenly came, startling Li Chuqiu and He Yuzhui.

When did Boss Shen come to the kitchen? How come the master and the apprentice didn’t know?

Li Chuqiu quickly apologized to Shen Teng with a smile, "Boss Shen, you misunderstood. It's not about your salary, but Zhuzi's purchase of tiles to renovate the house is indeed important..."

"Isn't it just a matter of buying tiles to repair the roof? This is not easy to solve. I will call a master for you now to calculate the square meter of the roof of the house and how many tiles are needed. I guarantee it won't be expensive..." Boss Shen said proudly.

"Then I'll trouble you, Boss Shen..." Li Chuqiu hurriedly thanked him.

"You're welcome, just ask Zhuzi for less leave..." Boss Shen waved at him and turned to leave.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu had no choice but to give up!

Shen Teng is indeed a man of his words.

An hour later, a master was called over.

The master's surname is Chen. He looks to be in his forties, with a simple and honest face and a look in his eyes that reveals a simplicity that makes people trust him.

After he entered the central courtyard of the quadrangle under the guidance of He Yuzhu, he started to check the condition of the house without saying much, and quickly calculated in his mind the number of tiles and roof beams needed.

Soon, Master Chen turned to He Yuzhu and said, "Mr. He, the area of ​​your two houses is not very large, but if you want to renovate them to be durable and fast, I will have to hire three more people to work together for four to five days.

Let's follow the rules, five dollars per person a day, not counting food and drink. So the wages alone will be around one hundred yuan.

There are also materials such as tiles and nails. I estimate that it will cost at least one hundred yuan, so the total is about two hundred yuan."

After hearing this, He Yuzhu secretly compared the prices in his mind and found that the price was almost the same as the one he and He Daqing had privately estimated before. He couldn't help but admire Master Chen's professionalism and honesty.

He smiled and nodded, and said to Master Chen: "Master Chen, your offer is real, I feel relieved listening to it.

The weather is good these two days, which is a good time to start construction. Please make arrangements and bring your people here so that we can settle this matter as soon as possible and renovate the tiles of my old house as soon as possible so that my family can live in peace of mind."

Upon hearing this, Master Chen agreed with a smile on his face.

The next morning, the sun shone through the mist and gently onto the old streets of the capital.

As usual, He Yuzhu got on his Forever brand bicycle with his sister He Yushui on the back seat, and the two siblings chatted and laughed all the way.

After arriving at Hongxing Primary School, I watched He Yushui skipping into the school before I set out on the journey to Fengze Garden and started my day's work.

However, just as he was busy in Fengze Garden, an unexpected visitor broke the peace - Master Chen came to his door in a hurry.

It turned out that Master Chen went to the courtyard as agreed, preparing to move out the items in the house with He Daqing in preparation for the subsequent roof renovation.

But when he arrived at the courtyard, he found that the main door of his house was closed and a big lock was hung on the door. Looking inside through the window glass, the house was empty and He Daqing was nowhere to be found.

When He Yuzhu heard this, he suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart.

The conversation between him and He Daqing last night was still vivid in his mind. His father had clearly promised to stay home and cooperate with Master Chen's work, so how could he disappear without a trace in the blink of an eye?

What made him even more uneasy was that before he left the house in the morning, he had specifically reminded He Daqing that Master Chen would come over, and his father had also agreed. How could he suddenly change his mind?

An inexplicable worry spread in his heart, and He Yuzhu couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the White Widow was behind this again?

Did the woman who always made the He family uneasy use some means to force He Daqing to put down what he was doing and leave with her?

Thinking of this, He Yuzhu could no longer sit still.

He hurriedly asked for leave from the owner of Fengze Garden, rode his bicycle and went straight to the courtyard with Master Chen.
