Siheyuan: I stand for Xu Damao because he is my brother

Yan Jiecheng was a little flustered. This was one of the first batch of waiters he hired. During the period when business was difficult, everyone else left and only she stayed.

Yan Jiecheng asked her why she didn't leave. She said, "I escaped from home. After I came to my home, I had no relatives and no money. If you hadn't taken me in, I would have starved to death."

Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but imagine "a gambling father, a sick mother, a domestic violence ex-husband, a two-year-old child, and a younger brother who went to school, but none of them overwhelmed her miserable life"...

After a while, they became each other's closest people and the most trusted partners.

However, Yan Jiecheng became completely desperate when he thought about the fact that his two previous wives had children with other men as soon as they divorced him, and that he was infertile.

Unexpectedly, Yan Jiecheng's appearance of being uninterested in women made him look like a "gentleman" in the eyes of the waitress.

Instead, I fell in love with him...

Yan Jiecheng let her help him straighten his collar before going inside with a face full of question marks.

As soon as they met, Yan Jiecheng was stunned, because he knew this woman. Isn't this Liu Yueru!

How did she get here?

When Yan Jiecheng saw her, Liu Yueru also saw him and waved, "Brother Jiecheng, come quickly. I have a college classmate who is from Shancheng and he keeps praising your hot pot for its authentic taste."

In business, harmony brings wealth. When people praised his authentic food, Yan Jiecheng could only respond in a friendly manner: "You are too flattering. I wonder if you are satisfied with the dishes today? If there is anything that is not fresh, please let me know and I will remake it for you immediately."

A woman with Liu Yueru couldn't help but give a thumbs up after hearing this: "That's great, Boss, you have not only learned the flavor of our mountain city, but also the way we do business!"

Yan Jiecheng glanced at the table and saw that they indeed knew how to eat.

There are only garlic and sesame oil in the oil dish, nothing else. Its main purpose is to reduce the temperature and enhance the fragrance.

The dishes ordered were all classic "water hotpot" dishes, such as old pork slices, fresh tripe, fresh goose intestines, hairy squid, fatty intestines, etc.

Why is Chongqing hotpot divided into 9 grids? It is not to distinguish the taste, the taste is the same in the pot, it is to control the temperature in different areas.

The one in the middle is used for blanching, such as tripe, pork loin slices, and duck intestines; the four on the sides are used for boiling, such as large squid, old pork slices, and brains; the four outermost ones are used for stewing, so there are certain rules for what dish to put in which grid.

But unfortunately, Liu Yueru and the other two were a little lacking in spirit, especially the woman with glasses, who poured a bowl of water and rinsed the cooked dishes in the bowl before eating.

But even so, my lips were red from the spiciness, I was sweating, and I drank 5 or 6 bottles of soda...

"..."

Liu Yueru could eat spicy food. She stood up, wiped her mouth, and said to the other three women, "I have something to talk to the boss about. You guys take your time eating."

The woman with glasses even winked at her and said, "Don't worry, we will help you keep it a secret from your husband."

Who is it...

Liu Yueru rolled her eyes and said, "Alright, alright, stop guessing. The boss here is my neighbor who lives in the same courtyard as me."

The woman with glasses then stuck out her tongue embarrassedly and said nothing.

Yan Jiecheng followed Liu Yueru to a quiet private room in a daze and asked him in confusion: "What are you doing?"

Liu Yueru was very straightforward: "Let's get straight to the point, Brother Jie Cheng, are you in urgent need of money recently?"

Yan Jiecheng said unhappily, "Our family's affairs have long been a laughing stock in the compound."

Liu Yueru didn't beat around the bush with him at all: "I can help you with the money."

"What did you say?" Yan Jiecheng tilted his body and almost broke the stool.

He quickly straightened himself up, with an expression of disbelief: "Are you serious?"

Liu Yueru smiled and said, "I can't come all the way here, bringing along my three college classmates, just to tease you, right?"

The Yan family is very calculating, and Yan Jiecheng is naturally a person who "hears the music and only has elegant thoughts": "You are not so kind, are you?"

Liu Yueru shook her head: "You know the relationship between our two families."

"So what are you trying to do?" Yan Jiecheng was puzzled.

Liu Yuru said bluntly: "I want your house."

What?! Yan Jiecheng was horrified.

Liu Yueru said calmly: "I heard that you moved out of your home and haven't been home for more than half a month."

"So you are targeting my house?" Yan Jiecheng found it unbelievable.

Liu Yueru sighed at this time: "It's not me who is eyeing your house, it's our Dacan. To be honest, I don't understand what he is doing. I asked him, and he said he just wanted to make trouble for your father."

Yan Jiecheng's face was uncertain, and his brain was working at full capacity. He put himself in Xu Dacan's shoes and calculated for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what Xu Dacan was up to.

Yan Jiecheng cautiously probed: "What price can you offer?"

Liu Yueru said: "My Dacan said that he will help you through your current urgent needs. Other than that, there is no room for bargaining."

Yan Jiecheng blurted out: "Is there a way to do business like this?"

Then he immediately realized that he had said something wrong and quickly tried to make amends: "No, how would this benefit Xu Dacan?"

Liu Yueru said tiredly, "You're asking me? I want to know! When it comes to using my brain, even if there are ten of me, I can't be a match for our Lao Xu. I'm worried every day because I've never really seen this man clearly."

Yan Jiecheng believed this. Xu Dacan was indeed an unpredictable person. Yan Jiecheng knew this when they played throwing eggs together.

Xu Dacan wanted to buy his house? Yan Jiecheng thought about it and didn't say it outright: "Well, I'll think about it and do it another day..."

No! I will give you a reply in three days at most, is that ok with you?"

Liu Yueru stood up and said, "Okay, Brother Jie Cheng, I just came here to pass on a message today. I've got your message. Okay, I'm going to continue eating hotpot with my sisters."

Yan Jieben originally wanted to say, "I'll skip this meal for you," but when he thought about the current situation, he didn't say it in the end.

All I can say is: "I'll give you another dish as a token of my appreciation."

"..."

When Yan Jiecheng came out, the waitress came up to him and said, "Boss, are you okay? I see you don't look well."

Yan Jiecheng shook his head and said to her, "Xiao Man, go tell the kitchen staff to send some yellow throat to that table."

The waitress's name was Li Xiaoman. After hearing this, she looked at Yan Jiecheng with a worried look on her face, then went to the kitchen without saying anything else.
