Siheyuan: Grassroots Counterattack

When everything was done, it was almost noon. Sha Zhu brought Ma Hua to Yan Jiecheng's restaurant. There were only a few people in the restaurant at that time. Yu Li sat behind the counter bored, while Yan Jiecheng was waiting for the dishes in the kitchen.

When Yu Li saw Sha Zhu coming, she hurried forward to greet him. Sha Zhu didn't waste any words and went straight to the kitchen in Ma Hua. The chef in the kitchen was a young man who was busy at work.

After Sha Zhu came to the kitchen, he asked Yan Jiecheng directly what dishes he wanted. After Yan Jiecheng told him the names of the dishes, Sha Zhu asked Ma Hua to prepare the dishes, while he came behind the chef. After watching the chef's cooking skills, Sha Zhu shook his head.

At this time, the chef also realized something was wrong. After copying the dish, the chef called Yan Jiecheng over and asked what was going on. Before Yan Jiecheng could say anything, Sha Zhu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Man, your cooking skills can't support the business. Now the boss has hired me, so I have the final say in the kitchen from now on."

The man ignored Sha Zhu and saw Yan Jiecheng. Yan Jiecheng nodded. The man immediately got angry and yelled at Yan Jiecheng to pay him his salary and he would not work here anymore.

While Yan Jiecheng was arguing with the chef, Sha Zhu had already started cooking. To be honest, Sha Zhu's cooking skills were really amazing. If he were in other big restaurants, with his skills, he would have to be at least a level 5 chef.

It was at the steel mill that all the work was delayed. Yan Jiecheng and the chef were arguing fiercely at first, but as Sha Zhu's dishes came out of the pot, their voices became lower and lower.

After the dish was served, Sha Zhu signaled Yan Jiecheng to bring the dish to the front, while the chef, Chef Xiao Wang, kept his eyes on the dish.

Sha Zhu was a little disappointed with this man's problem, so he said sarcastically: "Hey, man, don't drool on anything, this is for the guests to eat."

Xiao Wang subconsciously wiped the corner of his mouth and found that there was no saliva at all. Then he realized that Sha Zhu was playing a joke on him.

At this time, Xiao Wang's arrogance was not as high as before. From this dish, Xiao Wang could tell that Sha Zhu was a master, but he didn't expect that such a small restaurant could attract such a master. He wanted to get close to Sha Zhu, but Sha Zhu ignored him, so he had no choice but to go to Ma Hua.

Yan Jiecheng, who had gone out to deliver the dishes, came back at this time and praised Sha Zhu highly. After the guests outside tasted the dish, they said that they had changed the chef and this dish was much better than the previous one.

Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng were very happy. This was a good start. It seemed that it was a good decision to invite Sha Zhu over.

In this way, Yan Jiecheng's small restaurant became famous, and more and more people knew that the food in this restaurant was delicious. Xiao Wang did not leave either, but stayed here to help Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu usually doesn't cook. He only cooks one dish for each table. He has already told Yu Li and the others about this in advance. Yu Li also made it clear to the diners that a master chef should behave like a master chef.

The other dishes were all made by Ma Hua and Master Xiao Wang. When Sha Zhu was teaching Ma Hua, he would prick up his ears and eavesdrop. Sha Zhu didn't care about this. After all, these were not exclusive secret recipes or special skills, so he could listen if he wanted to.

Several months have passed, and now you have to make a reservation to dine at Yu Li's restaurant, otherwise you won't be able to get a seat. As for why such a small restaurant is so famous, one is that the food is delicious, and two is that compared to big restaurants, the food here is relatively cheaper, but the taste is as good as that of big restaurants.

However, as the hotel's performance became better and better, Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng were not content to run just a small restaurant, so they came to Yan Bugui, hoping that Yan Bugui would continue to increase his investment. With the money they earned during this period, they would rent a bigger restaurant, believing that business would definitely be better.

They first mentioned this idea to Sha Zhu, who thought about it and agreed. Now this small restaurant has indeed restricted the flow of customers, so many customers are unable to dine.

But Yan Bugui had already taken out most of his savings last time, and the money he had left now was for the couple to live on, so of course he couldn't take it out.

So Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li hit a snag with Yan Bugui, but they did not give up and went to find other people they could find to borrow money. At that time, people generally didn't have much money, so where could they lend it to?

There was no other way, so Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li came back to Yan Bugui for help. Yan Bugui thought about it and realized that Yi Zhonghai used to be the richest man in the hospital, but now he was just living on his pension.

Other people are just ordinary people. How can they come up with several thousand dollars at once?

Finally, Yan Bugui thought of the Li family. Before the Li family moved away, he had a good relationship with them.

Now, of the two sons of the Li family, the eldest son has become a high-ranking official, the second son has gone abroad, and the youngest daughter is said to have married an officer and came back once a few years ago.

Moreover, when Li's father and his family came back last time, they left the address of Li Tian's family. Yan Bugui thought about going there himself to see if he could borrow some money.

Although this would seem too abrupt, Yan Bugui had no other choice. His disappointing eldest son brought his grandchildren home every day, and Yan Bugui had no choice but to help him for the sake of his grandchildren.

That's why Yan Bugui came to the compound today. He didn't feel anything when he saw the address before, but when he saw the sentry standing guard at the gate of the compound, Yan Bugui realized that this was not a simple place.

Yan Bugui explained his purpose and reason for coming, and Li's father and mother looked at each other, and they could see reluctance in each other's eyes.

It’s not that they don’t believe that Yan Bugui won’t pay back the money, but they are afraid that if they open this door, what will happen if someone comes to borrow money in the future?

Seeing that Mr. Li and the others were silent, Yan Bugui knew that they did not want to borrow money, so he said that he would write a promissory note and would definitely pay back the money.

When Li's father heard Yan Bugui say all this, he also expressed his concerns. Li's father and his family had money. In addition to the money they had saved over the years, they also had the pocket money Li Tianyi gave them every month, plus their pension, so they now had more than 2 yuan in their hands.

Yan Bugui borrowed 6000 yuan this time, so they could lend the money to Yan Bugui without going through Li Tianyi.

After listening to Mr. Li's concerns, Yan Bugui immediately promised that he would never tell anyone about Mr. and Mrs. Li's affairs, and promised to pay back the money within a year.

In the end, Yan Bugui even wrote an IOU. Li's father and Yan Bugui went to the bank to withdraw the money and gave it to Yan Bugui. Yan Bugui was also deeply moved.

After Yan Bugui returned home, he called Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng to his house and told them that the money issue had been resolved, but the money must be returned to him within one year and he needed to pay it back to others.

Yan Jiecheng was still curious about who lent them the money, but Yan Bugui didn't say a word about it. Yu Li was a person who could read people's expressions, so she quickly pulled Yan Jiecheng and told him not to ask any more questions.
