Siheyuan: I have traveled through time and space and still can’t eat enough?

So after the two of them left, Yan Jiekuang also followed them out of the courtyard and went straight to Courtyard 83.

Now only Xiaolong and Xiaohu are at home. Zhang Xiaobao is more motivated and was admitted to university through his own efforts.

After Yan Jiekuang entered the room, he didn't exchange too many pleasantries and went straight to business.

"Do you remember a few years ago, I asked you to follow a man named Cheng Jianjun?"

This incident is funny. When Yan Jiekuang saw Cheng Jianjun for the first time, he thought that he would influence him in the future, so he sent people to follow him.

But until two months later, the younger brother still found nothing.

Only then did he realize that Cheng Jianjun had just been admitted to university and stayed in school every day. He could not do anything bad, let alone affect him.

After several months of useless work, Yan Jiekuang ordered the people who were following him to withdraw.

Now that Cheng Jianjun has gone to work at the Inspection Department of the Industry and Commerce Bureau, Yan Jiekuang feels that he must be on guard.

"Send a few more people to follow him. I want to know who he met."

The two brothers naturally did not refute Yan Jiekuang's request: "Okay, I will arrange someone now."

Yan Jiekuang thought about it and still felt that it was not safe.

Then he said, "Find a few brothers to follow Cai Xiaoli, the female owner of Chabalou, to see if she has any abnormal behavior recently, especially if she has had any contact with Cheng Jianjun."

The two brothers nodded and went out to make arrangements.

Yan Jiekuang had nothing to do alone, so he decided to give the money to Han Chunming while it was still early.

However, he should be at work at this time, so Yan Jiekuang went directly to the place where he collected waste.

Sure enough, from a distance, Han Chunming was seen holding a loudspeaker and shouting, "I have junk for sale."

Seeing that he was wearing tattered clothes, Yan Jiekuang said jokingly, "This job really suits you."

Han Chunming rolled his eyes: "Why are you here?"

Yan Jiekuang lifted the bag in his hand and said with a smile: "I have nothing to do now, so I brought the things to you."

Han Chunming took a look at it, then took it and said, "Let's drink together when I get off work!"

"No, I've been busy these days, so I'll leave first."

After Yan Jiekuang finished speaking, he left.

But he did not go home, but came to the restaurant.

"Little lazy cat, your brother is here to see you."

Yan Jiekuang saw that Guan Xiaoguan was the only one in the office, so he walked up to her and hugged her.

Before he could take the next step, he was pushed away.

"Do you remember there is a restaurant? We just opened it and I'm too busy to take care of it. Why don't you come and help?"

Yan Jiekuang chuckled and hugged her again: "I won't come over here. Besides, don't I believe in your ability?"

The two of them stayed together until the afternoon, when Guan Xiaoguan went to deal with the restaurant's affairs. Yan Jiekuang felt bored and secretly returned home.

When he passed by the front yard, he was stopped by his elder brother and his wife.

"Jie Kuang, come in for a moment."

Yan Jiekuang walked into the room and found that not only Yan Jiecheng and his wife were there, but also Yan Bugui and his wife were sitting at the table.

So he asked, "What's wrong?"

"I talked to Sha Zhu with your brother, and it was just as you said. He wants a salary of 2500 yuan a month, and he has to bring four dishes home every day."

"This way, we won't make as much profit as Sha Zhu every month. Just like you said, we'll be working for Sha Zhu."

Yu Li sighed, with the word "heartache" clearly written on her face.

After hearing this, Yan Jiekuang chuckled and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. I have already thought of a solution."

At this time, the three aunts sitting at the table asked hurriedly: "What is the solution?"

There was a reason why she was so anxious. After all, she had a share in the job. If the store couldn't even be opened because of the chef's problem, where would she find such a good job?

Yan Jiekuang didn't keep everyone in suspense and directly told them the method used in the original play to make Yan Jie a couple.

"It's not difficult for a small shop like this to make a living, but it's hard to make it popular, and that requires a good chef."

"In fact, it's not just Shazhu. If you hire any good chef, even if he doesn't charge as much as he does, it won't be cheap either. And a skilled chef won't settle for a small shop like this."

"So why don't we just not hire a chef and open a hot pot restaurant directly? That way, we can solve all the problems."

Yan Jiekuang's words made several people fall into deep thought.

They all knew that what he said made sense, otherwise they wouldn't have gone to invite Sha Zhu even though they knew of his bad temper.

But no one knew whether opening a hotpot restaurant would be successful, after all, no one had ever tried it. In the end, Yu Li gritted her teeth and made the decision.

"Okay, let's open a hot pot restaurant. We can't let Sha Zhu get away with it for nothing."

After the few people confirmed it, Yan Jiekuang took out a wad of money from his pocket and handed it to Yan Jiecheng.

"Brother, this is the money I invested. Let's make it clear first. You can open a store, but you must complete all the formalities."

"The hygiene and food ingredients in the store must also be ensured. Don't cause any more trouble just to make money."

"I'll let our mom keep an eye on these. If you don't do as I say, don't blame me for not giving you face."

Yan Jiekuang was afraid that Yan Jiecheng and his wife would use some stale ingredients in order to make money. It would be a small matter if the customers got sick, but it would be troublesome if they got food poisoning.

Yu Li, who was sitting opposite, nodded and assured, "Don't worry, Jie Kuang. Although your brother and I are stingy, we are still clear-headed in this regard. We will not give the leftover stale ingredients to our guests even if we eat them ourselves."

In fact, Yan Jiekuang still believed what Yu Li said.

After all, in the original drama, the couple has run the restaurant for so long, and it is becoming more and more prosperous, so there must have been no problems with hygiene and food.

If they had not been dragged into smuggling by the brothers Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangtian, they would have lived a very comfortable life relying on that restaurant.

"Sister-in-law, no one can eat unfresh ingredients. It's inevitable to waste ingredients when running a restaurant. Don't feel bad about this little bit."

None of the three paid any attention to what Yan Jiekuang said.

They all came from an era of food shortage, and their thinking was different from that of later generations like Yan Jiekuang. They all couldn't stand waste.

Seeing that everyone had finished talking about their business, Yan Bugui, who had been sitting nearby without saying anything, couldn't help himself.

"Old Three, you all have things to do, and I'm the only one sitting idle."

"Why don't you arrange a job for me, even if it doesn't pay!"

Yan Jiekuang thought about it and felt that it would not be a good idea to leave Yan Bugui alone.

He didn't actually want the money, but he felt uncomfortable seeing others having jobs while he was just sitting around waiting to die.

Looking at his father's expectant expression, Yan Jiekuang suddenly had a good idea.

He did not answer Yan Bugui's question, but pointed in the direction of the back house and asked, "Dad, do Uncle Liu and Uncle Sun have any idea of ​​moving to a new house?"
