Get something in the courtyard

Wang Kun was quite surprised to hear Sha Zhu coming to him to borrow money.

"The sun is rising from the west, and you actually come here to borrow money. If I remember correctly, you make a lot of money in Yan Jiecheng's restaurant!"

Sha Zhu said with dissatisfaction: "Don't mention it. You know the temper of the Yan family. They fired me."

Wang Kun thought that Sha Zhu would be fired, but he didn't expect it to be so early. Although Sha Zhu's salary was a bit high, Yan Jiecheng and his wife definitely didn't lose out. Those who went to eat were more or less well-off. Why did they go to their restaurant? Wasn't it just for Sha Zhu's cooking skills?

Unless they can find a chef who is better than Shazhu.

"Who did they replace you with?"

Shazhu looked a little embarrassed and was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

Guo Xianghong said, "Who else could it be? The apprentice he brought over, Fatty. Fatty seemed nice enough, but he stabbed Shazhu in the back. Shazhu felt that he had treated his apprentice unfairly, so he specially brought him to the restaurant to practice."

In the steel mill, the chefs were Sha Zhu and Ma Hua, so Fatty had no chance to practice. You can't learn cooking just by listening and memorizing. Usually, Fatty can only practice with big pot dishes.

This resulted in the fat man's cooking skills improving very slowly. It was only after working in Yan Jiecheng's restaurant for almost a year that his skills improved as he had more opportunities to practice.

Sha Zhu said with some shame and anger: "Don't mention that bastard to me. I have already kicked him out."

With Sha Zhu's temper, he couldn't do anything to Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu, two tough guys, but he had no problem dealing with the fat guy.

The day after he was fired, Fatty was kicked out of the cafeteria and became a full-time chef at Yan's Restaurant.

In order to save face, Sha Zhu said, "Yan Jiecheng and his wife are short-sighted. They will cry one day. Just wait and see the day when they beg me for mercy."

Forget it, let’s not talk about them. Wang Kun, I have found that it is more comfortable to live outside. Lend me some money first, and I will move out after I have renovated the house.

Ran Qiuye asked, "You've figured it out and are no longer attached to that ancestral home."

Sha Zhu nodded: "I've figured it out. That place is not a place for good people to live. If I move out, I won't worry about my son learning bad things from him."

Wang Kun asked, "How do you plan to renovate your home? How much money do you want to borrow?"

"About this, you can ask my wife. She is the one who makes the decisions in our family. I have been thinking about finding another restaurant these days and try to pay you back as soon as possible." Sha Zhu said.

Wang Kun was not optimistic about Sha Zhu's situation. His temper had improved a little, but that was only when he was dealing with acquaintances like them. When facing other people, he still had the same bad temper.

There is another more crucial factor, that is, Sha Zhu offended his master in the past and did not officially become a master.

In other words, his cooking skills were not recognized by orthodox chefs. Those big restaurants would definitely not hire someone like him when they were looking for a chef.

As for small restaurants, few are willing to spend so much money to hire him and put up with his bad temper.

As expected, for the following period of time, Sha Zhu couldn't find a suitable job even though his legs were worn out.

Some restaurants could accept his salary but could not accept his request to bring meals.

Guo Xianghong advised him not to bring food home, and he agreed. But Xu Damao found out and ridiculed him. He couldn't stand the provocation, so he went to tell his boss that he wanted to bring leftovers, and was fired again.

Everyone in the courtyard was watching the fun, and Qin Huairu's thoughts started to move again. "Uncle, I think this is our chance. Sha Zhu doesn't have a job. If we open a restaurant with Sha Zhu, we can also take the opportunity to get closer to him."

When Yi Zhonghai heard about the money involved, he had a headache: "Huai Ru, this method won't work. Can Sha Zhu agree?"

Qin Huairu was very dissatisfied when he saw Yi Zhonghai retreating, and he persuaded him, "Uncle, this is what I think. This time we will open a restaurant together with Sha Zhu, and we will not take advantage of him. I will take out 1,500 yuan, and you can take out some more, and then we will split the money according to the amount of money contributed."

Worried that Yi Zhonghai would disagree, she continued, "There are three benefits to opening a restaurant with Sha Zhu. First, it can ease the relationship with him. As long as our relationship with him eases, you can educate him well. Second, opening a restaurant will definitely make money. The money we put in will not be a loss, and we can also improve the family's food at that time. Third, whether Sha Zhu is willing or not, in everyone's eyes we are a family, and he must respect you in the future.

"Master, we should hurry up while Shazhu hasn't found a job. Once he finds a job, we won't have a chance to ease the relationship with him."

After hearing Qin Huairu's analysis, Yi Zhonghai was somewhat moved. He thought more than Qin Huairu. If they did business together and made money, he would have more money for his retirement. With so much money in hand, Qin Huairu would definitely take good care of him in his old age.

When Banggeng finds a wife and has children, he will also be able to leave money for the Yi family.

Yi Zhonghai agreed to Qin Huairu's proposal, but he was still not satisfied. He had fallen into trouble once with Sha Zhu, and he definitely didn't want to fall into trouble again.

He is a person with a strong desire for control and does not allow anyone to go against his opinion. This time when opening a restaurant, Sha Zhu must be controlled.

"Huai Ru, just cooperating with Sha Zhu doesn't guarantee that he will listen to us. I think we must take control of the hotel."

The villain in Qin Huairu's heart kept nodding. That's what she thought. The money that Sha Zhu earned was hers and could not be used by other women.

"Uncle, I will listen to you."

Yi Zhonghai was very satisfied with Qin Huairu's reaction and said, "You take 2,000 yuan, and I take 2,000 yuan. The remaining amount will be paid by Sha Zhu. When the time comes, we will split the money with Sha Zhu 80:20.

Shazhu only owns 20% of the shares, and his say in the hotel is not as strong as ours. If he doesn't listen to us, we will fire him."

Qin Huairu was of course happy to have an 80% share, but she was a little unhappy to be asked to take 2,000 yuan. Those were all the money she had saved with great effort.

"Uncle, I, I don't have that much money."

Yi Zhonghai didn't know how much money Qin Huairu had, but past experience told him that Qin Huairu would definitely be able to come up with it.

"Huai Ru, the overall situation is more important. I don't have any extra money. Didn't you say that once the restaurant opens, I can make back the money quickly?"

Qin Huairu brought up all the tricks but failed to get Yi Zhonghai to give in. In the end, he could only grit his teeth and say that he would go to Jia Zhang to discuss it.

Yi Zhonghai ignored him and sat in the yard waiting for Sha Zhu.

When he saw Sha Zhu coming back without a lunch box, he thought his chance had come: "Sha Zhu, you haven't found a job yet, have you?"

Sha Zhu said angrily: "What do you mean I haven't found a job yet? It's because I don't want to find one. As soon as I say I'm looking for a job, people who want to hire me will line up all the way to Dashilan."

Yi Zhonghai said disdainfully: "Just brag. If someone hired you, you would be working in a restaurant by now. You don't have to look for a job. I have discussed it with Huairu. She plans to open a restaurant. You happen to be unemployed. For the sake of our neighbors, I will let you work as a cook in the restaurant."

Sha Zhu thought to himself, "I knew you guys would scheme. How could he not know what kind of person Qin Huairu is? It would be strange if she was willing to spend the money."

"You don't have to consider me for the sake of our neighbors. I won't work, and I won't go to your restaurant. Please find someone else!" (End of this chapter)
