Chapter 65 Is it still too late (4)
"We don't need to rush to pay for the ordered ingredients. Uncle Chen and his younger brother stayed to receive the ingredients and tried to make the person who delivered the ingredients postpone paying for half a day. We pooled the money to buy the remaining ingredients that were not ordered. Recently I I also went to the vegetable market a few times, and I know a little about which ingredients are good or bad, besides, Aunt Yin often goes to buy vegetables and returns home, so Aunt Yin and I went to the vegetable market to buy leftover ingredients." Brother Nuomi said.

"I agree. We brothers only have ten taels of silver on hand. This is our net worth. We will take it all out. I believe that the little boss will return the money to us after this incident." Brother Zongzi immediately echoed.

"I don't have much money in my hand, I don't know if this is enough." Yin Hehua frowned.

"The bosses are so kind to us, so we can pay as much as we have. If we don't compare, we will lose. Everyone can only drink the northwest wind, and we are not reconciled!" Brother Nuomi said.

Yin Hehua thought for a while and said: "The bosses are really kind to us. We take back the untouched dishes in the restaurant on weekdays, and the little boss trusts us so much that he even shows us the recipes of the imperial chef, so no matter for The bosses are still for our own sake. We can’t let the Brothers and Sisters restaurant close. I still have 30 taels of silver at home. When I go to buy ingredients, I will withdraw the money by the way. Fortunately, his father is away these few days, so I will go back and get it. He doesn’t know the money, otherwise he might not have asked me to take all the money.”

"Uncle Chen, we all took out all our savings, what about you?" Brother Zongzi stared at Chen Jiu with burning eyes.

"I, my family doesn't have much money, so I'll take ten taels of silver." Chen Jiu said with a embarrassed expression.

"Is that so? As far as I know, the condition of your family is much better than that of Aunt Yin's. Not to mention anything else, the dozen or so big pigs in your family are fed with leftovers from the restaurant for three meals a day. Although these leftovers are not worth a lot of money, but in the belly of the pig, they will grow a lot of fat, and the growth is all money. If you say that there is such a little money, who will believe it?" Glutinous rice Brother laughed immediately.

How does this kid even know how many pigs his family has?Chen Jiu cursed secretly in his heart, but under the eyes of everyone, he could only secretly say that he was unlucky, and said angrily: "I also pay 30 taels of silver, there is nothing more!"

Brother Nuomi did the math and said: "70 taels is almost enough to buy the rest of the vegetables." "Then let's divide the work. I really know the vegetable market better. Going with Brother Nuomi will definitely be able to buy the remaining ingredients." Buy them all back." Yin Hehua said confidently.

Chen Jiu curled his lips: "It is much easier for you to buy ingredients than ours. If the person who delivered the ingredients is not willing to postpone the payment and take the dishes back, what can we do? Besides, you can be sure that the boss and the others will buy the ingredients today. Will it be there?"

Brother Nuomi looked up at the plaque of "Brothers and Sisters Restaurant" hanging above his head, and said firmly, "They will definitely arrive!"

"Uncle Chen, you don't have to worry about persuading the person who delivered the ingredients to pay later. I don't dare to say that I am the best, but I am good at eloquence." Brother Zongzi immediately pushed Chen Jiu into the restaurant .

Brother Nuomi and Yin Hehua also went to buy ingredients immediately, and after [-] minutes, they bought the leftovers, and Zongzi lived up to expectations and persuaded the person who delivered the ingredients to delay the payment for half a day.

However, the brothers and sisters of the Gu family were still delaying their future, which made everyone lift up their hearts that had just been let go.

"We can't wait any longer. We must move all the things we need to the square first. If the bosses come, they will go directly to the square." Brother Nuomi said.

"That's right, if they don't have enough time, they should go directly to the square." Yin Hehua nodded.

Brother Zongzi naturally agrees with what the elder brother said.

Chen Jiu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, and followed a few people to move things across the square.

The square is located in the center of the city. During the festival, the county magistrate will lead the whole people to worship the gods here, so the place is wide and flat.When Brother Nuomi and the others went, the people from Zhouji Restaurant had already arrived, and the people who wanted to arbitrate also came one after another.

Yesterday, the two restaurants set up greenhouses on the left and right sides of the square, with Brother and Sister Restaurant on the right and Zhouji Restaurant on the left.

Zhou Ji restaurant puts all the cooking utensils in front of the shed, and Zhou Liang and a 60-year-old man are sitting under the shed, sipping tea leisurely.Zhu Mei was walking back and forth in front of the shed with a smile on her face, checking whether the things prepared by Zhou Ji restaurant were complete.

After a while, two men in gray clothes suddenly emerged from the crowd, ran to Zhou Liang and whispered in their ears: "My lord, everything is going well!"

A big smile immediately appeared on Zhou Liang's face, and he threw out two pieces of silver: "Well done, this is for you."

"Thank you, young master!" The two hurriedly caught Shangyin, thanked him and retreated to the side.

Zhou Liang looked excitedly at the still empty shed on the right, but was blocked by Zhu Mei who was walking back and forth, and couldn't help but angrily said: "I said, can you stop for a while, don't keep walking back and forth in front of me! "

Zhu Mei was not annoyed either, she turned around and came back to sit on the chair behind Zhou Liang, and said with a smile, "It's better to have everything ready, just in case."

"It's nothing in case, the Gu family is doomed!" Zhou Liang sneered, his eyes dark.

Zhu Mei disdainfully glanced at Zhou Liang who was sitting with his back to her. An impatient person can't be successful. Without her, how could Zhou Liang, a dude, win over the brothers and sisters of the Gu family?There was a sneer at the corner of her mouth, and when she brought down the brothers and sisters of the Gu family, she would deal with the second son of the Zhou family. Everything in the Zhou family should belong to the eldest son, and even more so, the child in her belly!
No matter how Zhou Liang and Zhu Mei were arguing, the old man didn't say a word, he was only here today to cook, and everything else had nothing to do with him.

Seeing the people from Brothers and Sisters Restaurant moving their things to the opposite side of the square, Zhou Liang walked over enthusiastically, stepped on a bag of ingredients that brother Nuomi had just put down, and said arrogantly: "The boss is really not in a hurry, buddy! Your boss You are going to be late, and you are still moving things here, isn't this a waste of work?"

"Take your dog leg away, or I will break your dog leg!" The spatula that had not been put down in Zongzi's hand turned sideways, and he stared at Zhou Liang's leg threateningly.

"Do you dare to call me a dog?" Zhou Liang pointed at Zongzi in disbelief, unexpectedly that even a little guy would dare to call him a dog.

"You are a beast, and only a beast will disregard the kinship of flesh and blood, and only a beast will do whatever it takes to fight against the kinship of flesh and blood!" Zongzi's good eloquence seemed to have finally found its place, cursing and forcing Stepping forward, Zhou Liang involuntarily took two steps back with his menacing appearance.

"Who said we have flesh and blood ties with the Gu family brothers and sisters? There is only hatred between us!" Zhu Mei followed and said coldly.
