Three days later, in order to expand the menu of Xu's Tavern, Fan Jinyou temporarily hired two chefs, one who focused on cold dishes and the other who specialized in hot dishes.

Xu Huizhen watched the two new chefs eating sunflower seeds and chatting, and finally she couldn't hold back her anger.

Xu Huizhen walked up to Fan Jinyou and said, "We are just a small pub. Hiring one chef is already a nuisance! Now that you have hired two, the operating costs will increase significantly! And you insist on promoting hot dishes. If this continues, the pub will inevitably suffer losses!"

Fan Jinyou straightened his clothes and said arrogantly, "Xu Huizhen, don't talk to me about costs! If you want to save money on the pub, it's up to you! In fact, I want to fire a few waiters. You want to save costs, so how about you be the waiter?"

Xu Huizhen became angry when she heard this. She threw her sleeves on the table and left the pub, obviously rejecting Fan Jinyou's proposal.

When Niu Ye saw this scene, he thought it was too much! He could no longer remain silent. He slammed the table and yelled at Fan Jinyou: "Fan Jinyou, you are going too far, aren't you? Abusing the government's power to bully the people, do you think this is right? This tavern is the Xu family's property! First He Yuzhu was fired, and then Xu Huizhen was forced to leave. Are you still the manager of the public office? Is the government using public-private partnerships to seize people's property?" Niu Ye.

Fan Jinyou did not take Xu Huizhen's departure seriously, but walked towards Niu Ye and said, "Your name is Niu Ye, right? It's wrong to say that. He Yuzhu and Xu Huizhen have already shown a tendency to capitalize. I am just reminding them! Moreover, even without them, Xu's Tavern can still operate normally!"

After Fan Jinyou made some unfounded arguments, he walked to the corner and sat down, ignoring Niu Ye anymore.

When Niu Ye saw that Fan Jinyou dared not give him face, he stood up and said to his drinking buddies: "Friends, you can see that the Xu's Tavern is no longer what it used to be! It's really a bastard who is in charge!"

"I don't know what you think, but my words are still here. As long as He Yuzhu and Xu Huizhen don't come back, I will never set foot in this tavern again!" After saying that, he angrily turned away.

After hearing what Master Niu said, the others put down their chopsticks and followed him out. The Xu Family Tavern instantly became empty.

Fan Jinyou was stunned at first, then he quickly spoke to persuade them to stay: "Please stay, everyone. Xu's Tavern is having an event today, and all drinks are free!"

However, no one responded to his offer and everyone left.

These drinkers do not just come to the pub to drink, but more importantly, they come to enjoy the comfortable and relaxed atmosphere in the pub.

However, when this atmosphere is gone, they naturally lose interest.

At this time, after leaving the pub, Xu Huizhen went straight back to her home in Maoer Hutong. When she saw He Yuzhu at home, she said with grievance: "Yuzhu, Fan Jinyou didn't listen to my advice, but he actually asked me to be a waiter! I left the pub in a rage. Whoever wants to care can care. I am so angry!"

Xu Huizhen continued with an annoyed tone: "It's so infuriating! I really regret it now. I shouldn't have joined the public-private partnership!"

He Yuzhu smiled after hearing what Xu Huizhen said, and held Xu Huizhen's hand to comfort her, saying, "Fan Jinyou really brought this upon himself! You don't have to go to the pub for a while, just rest at home for a few days. It won't be long before he comes to us in a humble manner, so just wait and see!"

He Yuzhu was certain that Fan Jinwu would not be able to run the Xu Family Tavern on his own. Without any performance, could he still be the public manager?

Seeing that He Yuzhu didn't seem to be worried at all, Xu Huizhen became even more angry and retorted, "You actually want me to rest? How can I let go of the fact that the pub that my father put so much effort into is now in such a mess because of Fan Jinyou! I'm so fed up!"

Regarding Xu Huizhen's anger, He Yuzhu chose to remain silent, because he knew that Xu Huizhen was really angry.

At this time, Master Zhang Jianguo and his father-in-law Xu Yuanshan came to He Yuzhu's house together.

Zhang Jianguo, holding a wild rabbit in his hand, said, "Zhu Zi, we just caught this rabbit. How about we come to your house and cook it together and have some wine?"

After hearing what his master Zhang Jianguo said, He Yuzhu felt like he had met a savior. He eagerly took the rabbit and ran to the kitchen.

Seeing his father Xu Yuanshan coming, Xu Huizhen's joy extinguished her anger, and she hurried forward to greet him, "Dad, Uncle!"

Xu Yuanshan said seriously: "Why are both of you at home? Isn't the pub open today? The pub can't be open one day and closed the next day, otherwise the drinkers will be unhappy!"

Xu's Tavern embodies Xu Yuanshan's life's work, and he doesn't want to close it so easily.

Sensing that her father Xu Yuanshan was a little angry, Xu Huizhen hurriedly explained: "Dad, you misunderstood! Didn't our tavern recently join the public-private partnership? The public manager Fan Jinyou sent by the Military Officers' Office is a very bad person. He doesn't do his job and only takes the credit. All the credit for the good business goes to him. Now he fired Yuzhu and asked me to be a waiter. I really couldn't stand him, so I ran back!"

Xu Huizhen's words completely ignited Xu Yuanshan's anger: "How can my tavern be managed by an outsider! Who is he? I must have a discussion with him!"

Furious Xu Yuanshan immediately wanted to go to Xu's Tavern to question Fan Jinyou. Zhang Jianguo and Xu Huizhen hurried to comfort the furious Xu Yuanshan.

Zhang Jianguo said, "Old Xu, don't worry! The public-private partnership is really a mess now! Not to mention your pub, even Fengze Garden where I work has been messed up, and the wages of all our workers have been reduced."

Zhang Jianguo then persuaded: "But there is no other way. We are just ordinary people. Wouldn't it be asking for trouble if we go against the government and the military control office?"

Xu Huizhen held Xu Yuanshan tightly and said, "Dad, you can leave the Xu's tavern to me! I will never let it go to waste in my hands! We are staying at home now because Yuzhu has his own plans!"

At this point, Seo Hye-jin called out to the kitchen, “Yu-ju, am I right?”

He Yuzhu, who was busy with the rabbit, quickly replied: "Yes! Yes! That's right!"

He didn't hear the specific content, but it didn't matter. As long as it was Xu Huizhen's words, it must be right.

Xu Yuanshan still believed in He Yuzhu's brain very much. He nodded and said, "Do you want to make him crazy before destroying him?"

Zhang Jianguo was surprised by Xu Yuanshan's words and joked, "Old Xu, I didn't expect you to use such a literary wording."

Seeing that her father finally understood, Xu Huizhen smiled and said, "Dad, why don't you sit down and talk with uncle first, I'll go to the market to buy some more vegetables. It's rare that Yuzhu doesn't have to work in the tavern, let's enjoy this leisurely moment today and drink and eat slowly!"

Xu Yuanshan and Zhang Jianguo both agreed and said yes in unison.

Afterwards, Xu Huizhen went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, and soon she returned home with a large bag of vegetables.

He Yuzhu saw a large bag of vegetables and exclaimed: "Wife, are you going to prepare a full banquet? Can't we just cook some dishes casually? There's even a fat rabbit!"

Xu Huizhen saw He Yuzhu's exaggerated reaction and pretended not to see it, explaining herself: "Since you have nothing to do today, take your time to cook! We are not in a hurry."

Seeing He Yuzhu's unshakable attitude, Xu Huizhen whispered to him, "I can agree to your unreasonable request last night."

That was the thought that He Yuzhu had been thinking about last night.

After saying that, Xu Huizhen winked at He Yuzhu shyly.

He Yuzhu became excited when he heard Xu Huizhen's words: "Did you really agree to that request?"

Xu Huizhen answered quietly "yes" and ran away shyly.

He Yuzhu was so excited at this moment that he looked down at his brother and thought to himself, "As long as I can make my brother happy, I can even cook a hundred meals..."

So He Yuzhu immediately rolled up his sleeves and started to get busy. Not long after, the sound of cutting vegetables could be heard in the kitchen.

When He Yuzhu finished the last dish, the eight-immortal table was already full of dishes.

Everyone gathered around the eight-immortal table to taste He Yuzhu's cooking. Even Li Guodong from next door came over after smelling the aroma and sat down to eat.

Zhang Jianguo took a bite of pork cartilage and said with emotion: "Zhu Zi, your cooking skills are getting better and better. The taste is not inferior to mine at all!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuanshan immediately teased, "Zhang Jianguo, you still know how to flatter yourself! The dishes cooked by He Yuzhu have surpassed yours! As the saying goes, the new generation surpasses the old generation!"

As he was talking, Xu Yuanshan mentioned a recent newspaper article: "Now He Yuzhu has been certified as a god chef by a team of experts from the Bear Country!"

He and Zhang Jianguo have an extremely close relationship and they often joke with each other, and neither of them really cares about it.

However, this made He Yuzhu feel awkward: "Master, Dad, stop joking! If you keep joking like this, I will fill your glasses and 'persuade' you to drink."

When Zhang Jianguo and Xu Yuanshan heard that He Yuzhu was coming to persuade them to drink, their faces turned pale instantly.

After all, the two of them had to compete with He Yuzhu in drinking during the New Year's party. However, they did not gain any advantage at all. Whether it was Zhang Jianguo persuading He Yuzhu to drink or Xu Yuanshan forcing He Yuzhu to drink, they failed to make He Yuzhu drunk. The two of them got drunk first.

The next day after they woke up, the two even reached an agreement to join forces to deal with him, but they ultimately failed because neither of them could drink more than He Yuzhu.

Hearing He Yuzhu saying that he wanted to persuade them to drink, the two of them couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Xu Yuanshan said first: "Drinking should be done naturally, and you can't force people to drink!"

Zhang Jianguo said: "Yes, if you force someone to drink, the taste of the wine will be greatly reduced. When you drink, you have to savor it slowly!"
