1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 171 The Blind Bird Chooses the Dead Tree

Uncle Jin is too angry. If the price is not suitable, can we negotiate slowly?
"Don't be angry, we can talk again, really..."

Before he finished speaking, Uncle Jin pushed him out, "Uncle Jin, please wait a little longer."

Luo Tao was dragged out by Uncle Jin all the way, the door slammed shut, Luo Tao outside the door was still in shock, still thinking about how I got out, after thinking about it, he couldn't help feeling that Uncle Jin really has a lot of strength.

Seeing that there is no hope, I have to go back. I really don't have the face to stick to it. After all, I am also an authentic gentleman from the capital.

I rode my bike to Ya'er Hutong, and when I saw the distance, I cursed: "Pi Xing, why are you pretending to be an uncle? When my brother's family was from the capital, your ancestors were still herding and wandering."

"Ahem, this old man has such a fucking personality. He is dressed in rags. He has never seen any money. He returned 20, thinking it was a ghost coin. How dare he speak."

Complaining about Uncle Jin all the way, we crossed Yinding Bridge to Xichang Tower.

When I saw everyone there, I said, "Where are they all?"

Everyone is clearing away tables and chairs and making preparations for decoration.

"Hello, Mr. Luo."

"Hello, Mr. Luo."

"........."

When the employees saw Luo Tao coming, they greeted him politely with smiles on their faces.

"Hello everyone, everyone is busy with their own business. Qin Qiu, have you met Mingzi?" Luo Tao asked Hou Ming when he saw his cousin here.

"Mr. Luo, Brother Ming is in the next box." He whispered the best words. In front of others, the two sisters called Luo Tao Mr. Luo like everyone else.

"What's wrong?" Luo Tao was a little confused.

"Go and see for yourself!" She said and turned back to work.When they knew that Luo Tao was the owner of this store, the two sisters would not talk to Luo Tao more about anything.

They were afraid that if they said something bad and Luo Tao punished his colleagues, they would alienate the two sisters in disguise.

When Luo Tao saw her like this, he knew it was not a good thing and did not continue to ask. He knew it at a glance.

When you go upstairs, you can hear Hou Ming's scolding inside.

"Bai Er, Sun Wu, Wang Shi, please pat your conscience and tell me how Xichang Tower has treated you badly. Do you remember what you said when Master Hong brought you here? Now you pay 100 yuan a month. Is this price available in Beijing?"

"People can't do things like this. If you have any difficulties at home, you can tell them. As long as the store can help you, you will never look at it. There is no need to do this! Xichang Building is currently closed, but Mr. Luo promised you that your salary will be paid as usual. Well, why are you leaving?"

"Brother Ming, I really have something to do at home. My dad asked someone to find it for a state-run restaurant. The harvest is guaranteed in drought and flood. If you have a lot, please raise your hand and let me have enough to eat!"

"Yes, Xichang Tower is good to us, but we just want to have a solid meal."

"Wang Shi, you, Bai Er's family found a job, do you have it?"

Hou Ming said that Wang Shi had a guilty conscience, but he was stubborn, "You don't have to worry about it. Once you settle our wages, I will leave immediately."

"That's right, Mr. Luo said at the beginning that you are free to come and go. I remember this correctly!"

The one who spoke was Sun Wu. This guy was a ghost, and he usually didn't follow the food in the store. For Master Hong's sake, Luo Tao knew about it and didn't punish him much.

Hou Ming wanted to say something, but the door was suddenly pushed open, "If you want to leave, just leave! I can't accommodate three chefs in this small temple, and I have wronged three of them in the past two years."

"Mr. Luo, this is serious. We really have a special situation in our family..."

Sun Wu reacted quickly. Seeing that he was going to suffer again, Luo Tao stopped him. "Chef Sun, I knew the situation at your house just now outside the door. Didn't you tell me at the beginning? You can come and go freely. You can go as well. As long as Master Hong says it's okay, I will pay the bill for you immediately."

Then he said to Hou Ming: "Mingzi, have you called Master Hong?"

"No, I'll call someone right away."

well!This is still inexperienced and not thorough in handling things. His apprentice has committed a crime, how could he not inform him first.

Why did Master Hong come? Luo Tao wanted to know if his three apprentices were instructed by him. If not, it would be better to leave it to him. It's up to the owner to beat the dog.

"By the way, call Master Wu and Master Zhang."

Hou Ming agreed and took the opportunity to go out.

These Masters Wu and Master Zhang were the ones that Hou Ming went to great lengths to invite last time. Masters of Shandong cuisine are also proficient in Beijing cuisine and imperial cuisine. They were taught by the same master. They are both from the capital, and they are both in the official business. I work in the big dining hall of Yangmen, and my family lives in that area.

"Mr. Luo, this is unnecessary! You pay us and we will leave. There is no need to trouble my master."

"Yes, Mr. Luo."

Seeing them like this, Luo Tao guessed in his heart that Master Hong probably didn't know, but he can't be too arbitrary now.

"As the old saying goes, the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, I think it's better to get his consent. After he comes, if you insist on leaving, I will never stop you. I have something to do when I go down, so you should think about it carefully here. To go or not to go.”

Luo Tao said and went out. What could be wrong with him, but he just didn't want to look at their three traitorous faces.

When Luo Tao went downstairs, the three of them closed the door softly, and said in a low voice, "Sun Wu, I just said don't come, why don't we just leave? Everyone surnamed Jiang promised to open twice as much for us." You’ve already received your salary, but you still want to covet the 100 yuan. It’s okay now. It’s up to you to figure out what to do when the master comes.”

"It's not senior brother. I didn't force you to come. Let's not blame each other. Did you come here just for the 100 yuan? How did you get it? Now it's all my fault."

Wang Shi saw these two people quarreling and was busy trying to break up the fight, "Two senior brothers, what time has it been? We are still in the mood to quarrel. What we want to think about now is, what will we do when the master comes?"

The three of them fell silent for a moment, each searching for a countermeasure.

"In my opinion, Luo Tao just asked the master to come here just to give him face. Didn't he say that when the master comes, he will pay us the bill and leave. After a while, he will go over there, but there is an opening over there. Two hundred months, we can't give up the big one just because of the small one."

Not only was Sun Wu's analysis clear and logical, he was also good at fanning the flames.

"That is, if we work here for a lifetime, as long as there is still a master above us, when will we be able to get through it? What did you say Hongshan taught us? Aren't we the ones who know how to do it now by ourselves?"

Bai Er has been with Hong Shan for ten years. Although he has become a master, he has never held a spoon. Hong Shan is also a conservative disciple. It is impossible for Bai Er to survive all these years without resentment.

"Elder brother is right. The three of us are just a name. If we don't work for ourselves, the sky will fall."

Wang Shi was filled with indignation when he heard what Bai Er said. He had been following Hong Shan for five years. He had only a short time to learn the art, and his understanding was still poor. He could only scratch the surface of cooking, but he used this idiom vividly.

"Ahem, old ten, don't use words if you don't know how to use them. That's why people don't want to kill themselves."

Sun Wu was shocked by his strange usage.

"Show you, I'm just looking for someone else..."

Seeing that his pretense failed, Sun Wu continued: "Ahem, find another way."

"Yes, why are you everywhere?"

When the three of them were discussing countermeasures, the three old masters came one after another.
