The Heroes of Gulong: Great Chefs from Past to Present

Chapter 140 Shut up and stay safe (800 monthly ticket)

At night, on the rooftop among the water and clouds, a man was holding a white jade gourd and drinking wine to the moon.

Well, Li Chaofeng, he is very irritable.

The world is bitter.

Suffering comes from the fact that things in the world are ruthless, but people are affectionate.

He felt that if he had done something wrong, he should go to Yahang and buy a bunch of indentured servants, and then rely on the court's laws to ensure the shopkeeper's loyalty to Shui Yunjian.

Instead of empathizing with your subordinates, following their eyes, you see that life is miserable and things are impermanent.

Shouldn't happy heroes be happy?
  Why couldn't he be happy at all?

While he was drinking wine, Li Chaofeng's face turned serious and he said calmly behind him.

"Now that you're up, come over."

Guo Dalu came over holding two wine jars. This was new wine shipped from Shuiyunjian Winery in Anqing Prefecture.

Wang Dong and the others finally drank the wine from Shui Yunjian and knew what the wine tasted like.

Guo Dalu sat next to Li Chaofeng, picked up the wine jar and took a sip of wine, using the strength of the wine to build up his courage again.

"Boss, I still want to resign?"

Li Chaofeng looked at Guo Dalu's face. Guo Dalu was sincere. Li Chaofeng refused once, but he couldn't keep refusing. Guo Dalu was the shopkeeper and also a master.

He respects himself, and he must at least respect him.

"reason?"

Guo Dalu looked sad: "I want to take Zhu Zhu and the two children back to my hometown to farm."

Li Chaofeng thought hard for a long time, looking directly at Guo Dalu's face, with a hint of anger in his voice.

"I persuaded Yan Qiquan until her mouth went dry, so she let her wear women's clothes again."

"And now that she's wearing women's clothing, why don't you say you don't understand what she means?"

"I can see that she likes you, and I can also see that you like her."

"Since we like each other, what are you doing?"

"No matter how kind-hearted you are, you have to act within your capabilities. Does that woman have anything to do with you?"

Hearing Yan Qi's name, Guo Dalu started scratching his head and finally smiled bitterly.

He did not answer Li Chaofeng's question, but followed Li Chaofeng's gaze to the sky.

Today is fourteenth, the moon is very full and very bright.

"The moon waxes and wanes, and people have joys and sorrows. This has happened since ancient times."

"Yan Qi and I can only say that we are destined to be together but not destined to be together."

"Zhu Zhu is very pitiful. Only I can help her."

Li Chaofeng snorted, and his questioning words were fired like a barrage of cannons.

"You don't need to resign to help others. What can you do when you return to your hometown?"

"Cultivation?"

"Do you own land?"

"Farming for others?"

"Oh, if I could live by farming for others, there would be no robbers in the world!"

"Do you think your martial arts skills are too wasteful to be a shopkeeper for Shui Yunjian, and you want to become a robber who robs homes?"

Li Chaofeng laughed loudly, his front teeth showing when he laughed.

"This is indeed a good way for people in the world to make a fortune! My restaurant has indeed delayed your good future."

As the word "robber" came out, Guo Dalu's expression changed, but Li Chaofeng didn't want to let it go, so he just asked word by word.

"Guo Dalu, do you know what the result of your decision will be?"

Guo Dalu fell silent, took a big gulp of wine and wiped the corners of his mouth. He was just honest, never stupid.

He knew that without Shuiyunjian, he would be nothing.

But unless he can drive Zhu Zhu away cruelly, he has no choice but to leave.

Guo Dalu did not answer any questions and just answered calmly.

"Zhu Zhu's children can no longer stay in Shuiyunjian. They will scare the customers and affect the business."

Li Chaofeng was stunned. He thought Guo Dalu wanted to leave because he didn't want to choose between Yan Qi and Zhu Zhu.

But he didn't expect that Guo Dalu was just thinking about Shui Yunjian.

After taking a sip of wine, Li Chaofeng glared at Guo Dalu with an angry face.

"So you came to me to resign?"

"In your eyes, am I just a person who doesn't show any affection?"

Guo Dalu was speechless because he could not watch Zhu Zhu burst into tears, let alone leave her to fend for herself.

He is a good person and has always helped others, not to mention the women he once liked.

But Zhu Zhu's two children would scare the guests, and he could no longer be the shopkeeper of Shuiyunjian.

Guo Dalu did not answer the call because he calculated very clearly that if Shuiyunjian wanted to operate normally, these two children could not stay. Even if no one is allowed to enter the backyard, these two children cannot stay there.

After rubbing his forehead and thinking hard for a long time, Li Chaofeng spoke with complicated emotions.

"Go and ask her if she is willing to work at the Menstrual Workshop?"

Guo Dalu was still entangled at first, but when he heard this, his expression was stunned for a moment, then he nodded in surprise and expressed admiration for Li Chaofeng.

"Boss, you still have a way."

Li Chaofeng: "Get out!"

Guo Dalu heard that Li Chaofeng was in a very irritable mood, so he stood up holding the wine jar, but he came back before he could go far and sat directly next to Li Chaofeng.

"Boss, do you want to drink together?"

Li Chaofeng looked at Guo Dalu with a bad expression.

Guo Dalu is a smart man and a good man.

After draining the gourd of wine, Li Chaofeng stared at the moon in the distance and read half a poem to himself.

"The moon is always full, and people are often miserable. Only by abandoning one's faith and being ungrateful can one gain sweetness."

"The sky has no limit, and the sea has no corners. Even human beings are ruthless and unjust."

After reading the words, Li Chaofeng looked at Guo Dalu's confused expression and asked Guo Dalu with some emotion.

"After hearing these two words, do you still want to drink with me?"

Guo Dalu has read books and can naturally understand the meaning of Li Chaofeng's poems, but he has never heard such poems with all the reverse meanings.

But when he looked at Li Chaofeng, he always felt that there was something wrong with these words. He crossed his arms and felt that the atmosphere was a bit cold, but he still answered seriously.

"The moon is not always round, so people are not always miserable."

"Of course there are ends of the world."

"So the boss is reminding me that it's not good to be ungrateful and unjust?"

Speaking of this, Guo Dalu reminded carefully.

"The word boss has a fairly smooth meaning and a positive connotation."

"But no one will listen to this kind of poetry that does everything in reverse. It's too brain-consuming."

Li Chaofeng looked sad, and his voice was slightly lonely.

"The moon. Why can't it always be round?"

Guo Dalu swallowed his saliva, but still pointed to the full moon in the sky and started making gestures.

"Boss, the moon is indeed a bit round today, but in a few days, it will not be round."

"This is called seeing is believing, yes, seeing is believing."

Li Chaofeng nodded, his face returned to calmness, a smile appeared on his lips, and his tone became gentle.

“Seeing is believing, so well said!”

Looking at the moon in the sky, Li Chaofeng was also generous for once.

"Go ahead, I'm the boss, and the boss needs some style."

"It's a good thing that the matter has been resolved. You can drink. I'll treat you today."

Guo Dalu nodded, Li Chaofeng had always been like this, he was kind-hearted, but always rejected people thousands of miles away.

This is a strange boss.

Putting down the wine jar, Guo Dalu returned to the second floor and saw Yan Qi, who was glaring at him, and Lin Taiping, who looked concerned.

Of course, there is also Wang Dong who has a straight face.

Guo Dalu really wanted to leave, and the three of them felt it was a pity, but they couldn't change Guo Dalu's mind.

His reasons are very good, so good that unless Yan Qi puts aside his body and actively pursues her, the two of them will have no choice but to be destined to each other.

And the conversation between Li Chaofeng and Guo Dalu was not avoided, but they could be heard clearly.

Guo Dalu looked at Yan Qi with some embarrassment, but the other person turned around and wanted to go back to his house.

Liking someone and being with them are two different things.

Yan Qi didn't want to take care of her husband and raise her children, so her husband had to accommodate her.

Yan Qi wanted to leave, but Lin Taiping didn't want her to leave and stopped her directly.

"Didn't you hear that the boss wants to invite us to drink? So today we can drink freely."

"Even if the sky falls, we can't avoid this kind of thing!"

The new wine in Shuiyunjian has just come out. Lin Taiping has tasted it and it is indeed good. Guo Dalu's stay is a great joy and it is natural to celebrate.

Especially Li Chaofeng opened his mouth, that is, unlimited drinking.

Li Chaofeng, who was on the top of the building, held up the wine jar and began to drink heavily while listening to the noise on the first floor.

And he silently recited the remaining half of the poem in his mind.

Don't ask, don't doubt, the world has never changed since ancient times.

I don't speak, I don't speak, the world still enjoys peace.
