Get something in the courtyard

Chapter 1595 High Price
"One hundred and fifty dollars."

Seeing that Sha Zhu was really about to leave, Yu Li became a little anxious and opened her mouth to name a price.

This price was different from what the couple had agreed on in advance. It was much higher than that price, and Yan Jiecheng wanted to refuse.

Yu Li reached out to stop him and told him not to speak. This price was indeed something Yu Li had proposed on the spur of the moment. She had this idea after seeing Guo Xianghong.

There is a big boss standing behind Guo Xianghong, and these are connections and customers.

As soon as the one hundred and fifty yuan was paid, before Sha Zhu did anything, people in the yard gasped.

One hundred and fifty yuan is more than the monthly salary of an eighth-level worker. Why should Shazhu get so much for just cooking a few dishes?

Qin Huairu's eyes turned into the shape of Kong Fang, and she couldn't help but say, "Silly Zhu, what are you still doing standing there? Hurry up and agree."

Sha Zhu glared at her unhappily: "What do you have to do with this?"

"You." Qin Huairu couldn't say the rest when she saw Guo Xianghong's unfriendly look.

Yi Zhonghai said angrily: "Silly Zhu, why are you bullying Huairu again? Huairu is doing this for your own good."

"I don't need it. Yi Zhonghai, if you dare to say another word, I will beat you up."

Facing Sha Zhu's threat, Yi Zhonghai was furious, but he didn't dare to take any risks, fearing that he would really be beaten by Sha Zhu.

Not wanting to embarrass himself in the courtyard, he threw away his sleeves and turned away.

Yi Zhonghai left, and Qin Huairu followed Yi Zhonghai away.

Sha Zhu took a look at Li Gao and was tempted. This price was more than what he earned from cooking for others in a month.

"Aren't you two afraid of losing money?"

Yu Li said confidently: "Don't worry about it. Just tell me whether you agree or not!"

Sha Zhu glanced at Guo Xianghong, and seeing that he had no objection, he said, "I have a few conditions."

Yu Li was delighted when she saw Sha Zhu agreed: "You go first."

"First, your salary will be based on this for the first six months, and the calculation will depend on the situation after that. Your salary must be paid on a daily basis; second, add twenty yuan; third, you know my rules, I have to bring a few dishes." Sha Zhu stated all his requirements in one breath.

Yan Jiecheng was anxious and kept saying, "No. This is absolutely not possible. Your salary is less than 150 yuan. Why do you have so many conditions?"

Yu Li ignored him and said directly: "I agree."

Sha Zhu smiled with satisfaction: "Yan Jiecheng, did you see that? Your wife has much better vision than you. Yu Li, just because you are so straightforward, there is no problem on my side. Let me know when you start working."

Yan Bugui finally reacted and couldn't help but stand up and said to the two men, "What's wrong with you? Why are you paying Sha Zhu such a high salary? You have too much money to spend, right?"

Yu Li said directly: "Dad, if you don't understand, don't get involved."

Yan Bugui didn't want to argue with his daughter-in-law, so he said to Yan Jiecheng: "How about you also arrange a job for me?"

Yan Jiecheng looked unhappy: "What are you talking about? We are a small business."

Yu Li didn't say anything and went back to her room to rest.

Yan Jiecheng ignored Yan Bugui and followed him back to the house: "Lily, you are crazy. You agreed to Sha Zhu's outrageous conditions."

Yu Li smiled and said, "Is it outrageous? I don't think it's outrageous at all. Let me tell you, we made a lot of money."

"No, what are you talking about? We both work in a factory, and our combined monthly salary is less than a hundred dollars. You gave Sha Zhu fifty dollars, so we are losing a lot." Yu Li knew that she had to explain it clearly to Yan Jiecheng, so she said, "If I didn't make any money, would I be able to give Sha Zhu that much?

I ask you, how is Shazhu's craftsmanship?"

Yan Jiecheng did not deny this.

Yu Li continued, "Haitang told me that many factory leaders like to eat Sha Zhu's food. As long as we can invite Sha Zhu, those leaders will know the news and go to our restaurant for dinner. Those people are all rich people, do you think our restaurant will not be very popular?
As long as the restaurant is popular, that little money can be easily earned back."

Yan Jiecheng thought about it and realized that this was indeed the truth, so he stopped objecting: "What does this have to do with Haitang?"

Yu Li rolled her eyes at him and said, "What do you think? Most of the money I borrowed from my parents' home was from Haitang. He is also a shareholder of our hotel."

Yu Haitang divorced a few years ago and has been living in her parents' home ever since. Every time she sees Yan Jiecheng, she will criticize the Yan family. Yan Jiecheng gets a headache when he thinks of his troublesome sister-in-law. He is not willing to go to Yu Li's parents' home unless it is absolutely necessary.

Meanwhile, Sha Zhu kept showing off to Guo Xianghong at home: "Wife, with this job, our family's life will be better."

Guo Xianghong smiled and said, "Okay, aren't you afraid that the couple will cheat you?"

Sha Zhu said proudly: "I let them make one payment a day to prevent them from playing tricks. With their tricks, they want to cheat me, dream on."

Guo Xianghong asked again: "What do you want the twenty yuan for?"

Sha Zhu said, "Isn't this to compensate Fatty? I left in such a hurry that year that I forgot to tell my two apprentices. Ma Hua, that fool, was lucky. He got the recipe from Yu Shui and his cooking skills are pretty good. Fatty was delayed.

I want to take her to Yan Jiecheng's shop, so that he can practice his cooking skills and make some money. It can be regarded as compensation for him."

Guo Xianghong thought about the fat guy. Although he was rather slick and unpleasant, Sha Zhu did owe him something, so he didn't say anything.

"Don't take too much leftovers. Just enough for our family. There's no need to get into a fight with Yu Li over a few leftovers."

Sha Zhu said nonchalantly, "It's okay, I know what's going on. They are a smart family. They are willing to spend 150 yuan to ask me to cook, so they will definitely not lose money.

I didn’t expect that they had been working so hard for so long to open a restaurant. They must have thought about it a long time ago and wanted me to be the chef.”

Guo Xianghong also thought so. Otherwise, Yu Li and her husband would not have come to find Sha Zhu until the restaurant was about to open.

But this is also good for their family. At least Shazhu doesn't have to walk so far to work.

Yan Bugui angrily complained about Yan Jiecheng with his third aunt at home.

The third aunt asked distressedly: "They pay Shazhu such a high salary, won't they lose money?"

"They deserve the loss. Once they have some money, they don't know east, west, south, or north." Yan Bugui snorted.

Yi Zhonghai sent Qin Huairu away and looked at Sha Zhu's home. He finally understood why the deaf old lady valued Sha Zhu back then. Not only was Sha Zhu's cooking delicious, but Sha Zhu could also make money.

As the eldest uncle in the courtyard, he knew very well how stingy the Yan family was. Even the stingy Yan family could give Sha Zhu such a high salary, which showed that the cook really made money.

Unfortunately, it was too late for him to regret now. Whenever Sha Zhu saw him, he was like an enemy. No matter how he tried to trick him, Sha Zhu would not change his mind.

If only the deaf old lady were here, she would be able to find Sha Zhu’s weak spot.

Qin Huairu had just cried for a long time in his room. It was clear that she wanted Sha Zhu to help take care of her. If he had a way, he would have done it long ago. Why would he wait until now?

Yi Zhonghai, who was feeling somewhat depressed, suddenly smelled the fragrance of food in Sha Zhu's house and immediately perked up.

"I can't lose heart. Since Shazhu has money, he should take care of the elderly in the hospital."
