Chapter 2493
People's Thoughts
The third senior brother remained quiet throughout the entire day.
He used to be much more enthusiastic than he is now.
But after being arranged by Lao Lu to go to Hong Kong Island, he stopped gossiping in front of outsiders.
Of course, that depends on the person.
It should be said that he is quite talkative when he has a private get-together with He Yuzhu or in front of his apprentices.
Outsiders, even Old Xiao, who had once been kind to him.
He was full of polite words, but he didn't say many of his true feelings.
He Yuzhu could also see this.
Once the two were standing at the restaurant entrance, watching Lao Xiao get into a yellow Daihatsu and drive away, the third senior brother said to He Yuzhu, "Come to my place for a cup of tea?"
He Yuzhu nodded.
He glanced back at the departing yellow van.
Some aspects of life change without us even realizing it.
"...I still remember the scene when we accompanied Master, Mistress, and Stone to find Doctor Xiao."
At that time... "Third Senior Brother was less thinking of inviting He Yuzhu for tea and a chat, and more thinking that seeing Old Xiao made him miss Wang Furong a bit.
He Yuzhu sat close to his third senior brother, holding a hot teacup in both hands, and he was also not fond of talking.
Today, he accidentally drank too much alcohol because he was talking to Lao Xiao about Lao Lu.
The key is that he understands his third senior brother's feelings for the Wang family, so he can't interfere in this matter.
how to say.
The Wang family is very good, Xiao Er is very good, and Qin Jingru and Da Zhuang are also very good.
But the Wang family has become distant from Wang Furong's apprentices.
In He Yuzhu's view, this was like a dream come true, something he couldn't have gotten any better than he could have imagined.
But for the third senior brother, it would definitely be a blow.
The person he treated like a brother is now treating him like an outsider.
How could he not be heartbroken?
The young man and his wife got the storefront back from their third senior brother.
I opened a small restaurant.
The beginning was indeed quite eventful, and Xiao Er almost got a divorce from Qin Jingru.
But now that everything has been resolved, the business has finally resumed.
Furthermore, the Wang family's small business is quite profitable.
That's where the problem lies.
In order to change Qin Jingru's mindset of always thinking about subsidizing her family, He Yuzhu and his third senior brother played the villains.
He Yuzhu had long anticipated that helping with this kind of thing wouldn't end well, so even when he encountered Qin Jingru on the road, she turned her head and pretended not to see him, he didn't care.
At worst, we'll just cut off all contact.
But it was clear that the third senior brother couldn't accept this.
She was pulling He Yuzhu aside to confide in him.
"…Old Qi's apprentice, Xiao Dong, was someone I introduced to help the couple with cooking."
Hiring a chef at a private restaurant will cost at least 150 yuan.
"Guess how much Jingru gave Xiaodong?" Third Senior Brother was indeed getting old, and perhaps he trusted Ren Yuzhu too much, so he spoke of these things in a wronged tone in front of him.
He Yuzhu rested his chin on the lid of the teacup; it was a little prickly and a little hot.
But the heat escaping through the lid and the faint aroma of jasmine tea made him feel very comfortable.
That's what human enjoyment seems to be like.
If you want comfort, you have to suffer.
The richer a person is, the more comfortable they are, and the more they suffer.
They gave me seventy.
I went to the waiter to settle the bill, but he stammered and mumbled. Jingru, however, chimed in, starting to calculate the smaller charges, saying that Xiaodong had broken several plates and wasted food…
"Which table of guests ate too much salt and didn't pay..." He Yuzhu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
He looked up at his third senior brother, and seeing the older brother's worried face, he didn't think of comforting him. Instead, he said with a bit of schadenfreude, "Now you're going to have a hard time explaining to Senior Brother Qi, aren't you?"
The third senior brother slapped He Yuzhu directly on the shoulder.
The "Brother Qi" they mentioned was the Shandong cuisine chef that He Yuzhu met at a chefs' gathering when he was first reborn.
Their branch, amidst the storms, wasn't doing too well because of the past incident involving catering.
Although Senior Brother Qi's treatment has been restored, his health has also deteriorated.
Furthermore, his disciples, lacking the support of their master and sect, had long been marginalized.
Even now, he still has several apprentices, but none of them are even qualified to be chefs at their workplaces.
How should I put this?
寸!
Actually, hiring a chef isn't a big problem. For example, when Wang Furong worked at the Emei Tavern, he also hired a chef.
Public-private partnerships should be abolished where necessary, and reported where required.
He made a self-criticism, and then his apprentices and kitchen helpers provided a statement proving that Wang Furong had never withheld their wages.
That's the end of that.
But the matter concerning Senior Brother Qi is more complicated.
The restaurant where he worked had been served by generations of masters and apprentices.
That is, the owner of that restaurant is a typical wealthy landlord, and he has been operating a catering service for decades.
There are many things here that are hard to explain.
Let alone Senior Brother Qi, even if it were He Yuzhu, he wouldn't be able to betray the employer who once supported his family.
To this day, that restaurant is still state-owned.
The landlord was wealthy, so when things went wrong, he found a way out and left.
Therefore, Senior Brother Qi and his group were even more unlucky.
It was just a casual conversation between two fellow students, yet it revealed the ups and downs of a person's life.
"...I paid out of my own pocket to make up for Xiao Dong's lost wages."
I told Xiao Dong to find somewhere to stay for a few days.
Once my restaurant is up and running, I'll have him come and help out.
"Sigh..." The third senior brother sighed repeatedly.
He Yuzhu asked in surprise, "Why don't you let him go to my family's restaurant?"
“It’s not just one person; he has several fellow apprentices, and their skills vary greatly, so they’re not suitable for your restaurant,” the third senior brother explained.
This is somewhat like a showdown with He Yuzhu, explaining why he wanted his apprentice to open a restaurant.
Regardless of whether we make money or not, we should always find a place for our fellow apprentices and nephews who aren't doing so well to eat.
All I can say is that after what happened with the Wang family, the third senior brother's mind has become more somber.
He had already lost a good younger brother and didn't want to lose He Yuzhu, another brother.
A person like him must have a very tiring life.
If it weren't for reform and opening up, and if society hadn't become wealthier, people like him would be so eager to help him that they would probably have worked him to death.
Of course, this also confirms another statement.
Good deeds will be rewarded.
Those people he painstakingly helped in previous years, including the last few, later became his apprentice Xiao Liu's biggest support in starting his own business.
No wonder, in his previous life, Xiao Liu was able to turn his business into a nationwide chain.
The third senior brother desperately gave a drop of water as a gesture of kindness, but in the end, everyone repaid his disciple with a torrent of gratitude.
"I'm fine here, senior brother. You don't need to beat around the bush with me. When is Xiao Liu thinking about starting his own business?"
I will release them unconditionally. ......(End of Chapter)
