After the guard was pulled out of the hall, he broke away from Yang Haicheng and asked: "Brother, what happened?"
"What's going on? A shabby shop opened in the back, setting off firecrackers, disturbing my dream. Come with me to deal with them! By the way, do you know where I can buy firecrackers?"
"I know, I know... there is something for sale not far away..." The guard who followed Yang Haicheng looked like a loser and nodded quickly in reply.
"Okay..." Yang Haicheng shouted, took out a handful of ocean, weighed it, and threw it to the guard.
"Buy it according to the money, buy it at a bigger store, and let's go to 'Congratulations' too. Hurry up...don't be stunned..."
"Okay..." the guard responded and ran out. Not long after, he commanded three or four people and came over carrying a large box of firecrackers.
"Brother, we have bought them all. There are four- to five-meter-long ones, and the ones that are full of big firecrackers. There are still a few large boxes that have not been moved. We will move them after the bombing. I will make sure to congratulate them."
"Let's go..." Yang Haicheng roared, and aggressively led a group of people out of the small door next to the kitchen of the restaurant to meet the owner of the restaurant.
"Congratulations, business is booming..."
The shop owner didn't know Yang Haicheng, but he still held hands and expressed congratulations. Unexpectedly, Yang Haicheng waved to a few people behind him and said: "Come on, put it up and congratulate the boss..."
"Bah bang bang..." The guard demolished a large plate of firecrackers, placed them four to five meters on the ground, and lit them directly.
"Please, please... distinguished guests, please go up to the second floor." The shop owner thought that setting off cannons in front of his shop was to give him face and congratulate him, so he quickly smiled and invited Yang Haicheng to go up to the second floor.
Yang Haicheng did not hesitate, walked through the first floor, went up the innermost staircase to the second floor, and sat down by the window facing the street.
"Bah bang bang..." Hearing the wild firecrackers exploding at the door, the store owner slowly came back to his senses and knew that the person in front of him was probably not here to congratulate him.
The shop owner grimaced, and took advantage of the time when the explosion was over to ask: "This boss, I don't know where I offended you, please make it clear."
"No, no..." Yang Haicheng waved his hand and said, "I'm just a resident of the restaurant opposite. I heard about the opening of your restaurant early in the morning and came here to congratulate you.
Don’t worry...there are enough firecrackers today. Once these boxes are blown up, we can continue to move them. It won’t be a problem to move all of Nanjing!”
Hearing this, the shop owner's heart dropped to the bottom. He knew that the price of the restaurant across the street was extremely expensive, and the people who could live there were either rich or expensive, so he definitely couldn't afford to offend it.
The shop owner wanted to beat himself to death, why did he forget about the restaurant, and set off the firecrackers so proudly in the morning, he was afraid that it would disturb...
The shop owner was stunned on the spot. After several minutes, a big firecracker was set off downstairs, which brought him back to his senses.
He wanted to speak, but he looked at Yang Haicheng with his eyes closed, shaking his head, opened his mouth, and finally said nothing. He gritted his teeth and quietly went downstairs to the kitchen.
The young post was set up so high that it flew up downstairs, blowing up this and that. Anyway, every inch of the ground in front of the breakfast shop was blown up, and the ground was covered with red confetti.
Many residents in the surrounding area went out and craned their necks to look around. Most of the residents of the restaurant also opened their windows to watch the excitement.
Ten minutes later, the shop owner brought a rich breakfast and carefully placed it on Yang Haicheng.
"Master, try it and see if it suits your taste. If not, I'll make it for you. I will definitely satisfy you today."
Yang Haicheng picked up the chopsticks and tasted a few bites, and his eyes lit up. Although it was not as good as Old Man Zheng's craftsmanship, it was still top-notch. The main reason was that the taste of the dishes was different and quite fresh.
Downstairs, the guard was busy putting away a few boxes. He looked up and saw Secretary Lan and Manager Lu on the fourth floor looking down. They were so frightened that they turned around and ran into the store.
"Brother..." Yang Haicheng was tasting everything when the guard rushed upstairs, shouting as he ran.
He ran to Yang Haicheng, squeezed the shop owner away, and said in a low voice: "Brother, sister-in-law is here, is she watching from upstairs? Can you let her go..."
Yang Haicheng stood up suddenly, glanced up secretly, and then looked at the red confetti on the ground, his face full of anxiety.
After playing for a while, Yang Haicheng seemed to suddenly think of something. He hurriedly took out a pen and paper from his body and drew an arrow piercing a heart on the paper. In one of the hearts, he wrote the words "Blue Hibiscus Bamboo".
I held it and looked at it excitedly for a while, then modified it and photographed it with the shop owner.
"Take it, sweep up the scraps of paper below and arrange them like this. Then the matter of you disturbing my dream today will be wiped out."
When the shop owner heard this, he picked up the paper and looked at it. He looked embarrassed and said, "Sir, I can't read. How can I do this..."
"I don't care, that's your business. If you do it well, you will be rewarded. If you don't do it well, then I will continue."
After hearing this, the shop owner cried sadly, gritted his teeth for the last time, went out, and ran to a house not far away. After begging for a long time, he finally pulled over a young man.
Although the young man looked unhappy, he still took the clerk's broom and started sweeping it. After a while, the general shape appeared. The shop owner breathed a sigh of relief and went upstairs.
"Sir, that guy outside is the best-reader around here, and he's also good at handwriting. I'm sure he can do something beautiful for you."
"Well..." Yang Haicheng took a look, nodded with satisfaction, sat down and continued to taste. Seeing that the guard and the shop owner were still standing, he motioned for the two of them to sit down and eat.
The young guard is named Wang Xiaolei. He is a local and has been working in a restaurant for a year. With his sharp eyesight and cleverness, he has become very successful in the restaurant.
After a few days, I had figured out how to get along with Yang Haicheng, so as soon as Yang Haicheng greeted me, I sat down and started eating. The shop owner was a little restrained and hesitated for a while before sitting down.
"Boss, your craftsmanship is pretty good? You made it yourself, right? Where did you learn it?"
When the shop owner heard this, he hurriedly said: "It's a small business. If you open a shop and run it by yourself, you won't deserve the praise of me."
The craftsmanship is passed down from our ancestors. My ancestors were chefs of wealthy families. When it was passed down to me, I only have some breakfast skills. I feel ashamed!"
"Oh... and given your background, with your skills, why don't you find a prosperous place to open a store? If you open it here, it would be a bit remote, right?"
"Alas..." The shop owner sighed, lowered his guard a lot, and said with a wry smile: "I have lost so much of my craftsmanship, and my family has long been ruined.
Then... let me know, this is the only small building left now. If you want to open it, you have to have the capital.
Before, I opened a small breakfast shop downstairs, and a family was crowded upstairs. Basically, the neighbors were buying the food and barely making ends meet.
Fortunately, recently, many neighbors have found some valuable things from their homes, wages have also increased a lot, and business has become better.
I gritted my teeth and asked my family to rent a house outside the city, tidy up the second floor, and expand the business. I was excited this morning and set off the firecrackers early. I didn’t want to disturb you..."
"Don't talk about this..." Yang Haicheng waved his hand, looked at the street, and saw that he had already shot an arrow through the heart. He nodded with satisfaction and waved to the fourth floor of the restaurant.
"Well done, let's get over it like this..."
"Thank you for your generosity and understanding..." After the shop owner said this, he leaned up to the window excitedly and asked the clerk downstairs to take care of the pattern so that no one would damage it.
"Come, come, come... sit, sit, sit... eat, eat, eat..." Yang Haicheng was satisfied and asked the shop owner to sit down and accompany him.
After finishing his meal and taking a sip of tea, Yang Haicheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "The craftsmanship is really good. If you are bolder, boss, and sell this house, you should be able to open a store in the downtown area."
This craft, with a little bit of management, is guaranteed to attract a large number of guests, but the money is coming in like a flurry, so why not just keep it here!"
"Alas..." The shop owner sighed and said helplessly: "What I said is true, but I just don't have the courage!
More than ten years ago, the rice store behind the building offered a very high price to buy it. To be honest, I was very tempted and had this idea at the time.
But think about it, this is the only small building that has been handed down from our ancestors. If we sell it and re-open the store, we will only have enough money to rent a house. If something goes wrong, we won’t even have a place to stay."
"That's right...it's better to be on the safe side. Although you won't get rich, at least you won't have a problem supporting your family, right?"
"Yes, yes..." the shop owner responded, chatting and eating with Yang Haicheng.
After a while, Yang Haicheng checked the time, and it was almost breakfast time in the restaurant, and said: "It's almost time to leave, you are good at your craftsmanship, I will stay here for a while, and send me one every day.
I'm in room 306. If you can't get in, find this guy. He's at the door and ask him to take it up to me.
And more! Prepare another one for me, one that suits a lady’s taste, and I’ll take it away later.”
Upon hearing this, the shop owner gritted his teeth, nodded heavily, and was about to leave. Yang Haicheng knew that the other party had misunderstood, so he took out one or two small yellow croakers and put them on the table.
"This..." The store owner was stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he quickly said: "Master, this... this is too much..."
"Just take it, don't talk too much, it's annoying..."
When the store owner heard this, he couldn't take it or not. In the end, Wang Xiaolei winked hard and took it away.
"Pah..." Yang Haicheng threw a small yellow croaker to Wang Xiaolei, who quickly caught it with a smile on his face.
"Okay, you know what to say when you get back, right? Don't ruin my reputation..."
"Brother, I understand, you are here to express your love for your sister-in-law today, and also to support the store owner who is living in poverty.
Brother, don’t worry, what my sister-in-law hears will be your glorious deeds, loving deeds, and romantic sentiments..."
After flattering Yang Haicheng, Wang Xiaolei changed the topic and said with a worried look: "Brother, the old guy who pestered my sister-in-law the day after tomorrow is coming, so you have to be careful."
"That's right..." Yang Haicheng responded, frowned, and said, "It's just the two of us. We are too weak. We need to find some helpers, so..."
Yang Haicheng asked Wang Xiaolei to come over and give instructions.
"High, really high..." Wang Xiaolei flattered Yang Haicheng and said, "Invite all the people in the restaurant to speak for you, and the old guy can't run away? Brother, you are really amazing..."
"Now that you know, why don't you hurry up and get ready?" Yang Haicheng interrupted Wang Xiaolei's flattery.
"Let's go now..." Wang Xiaolei responded and immediately went downstairs to ask the shop owner to prepare more.
After preparing several lunch boxes for breakfast, Yang Haicheng went downstairs and took it with him personally. Wang Xiaolei also had several of the breakfasts he wanted for the lady.
After walking a few steps, Yang Haicheng turned around and said to the shop owner: "Boss, I'm not the only one who woke up today. Almost all the tenants in the restaurant woke up, so why don't you give me some as a gift?
Your craftsmanship is good, and the breakfast is better than the restaurant. The restaurants are full of people who are not short of money. You understand what I mean..."
"Thank you for your advice..." The shop owner bowed his hands and immediately turned back to the kitchen. After a while of busy work, he got seven or eight lunch boxes, took them with the clerk, and caught up with Yang Haicheng and the other two.
The people in the restaurant did not embarrass the breakfast shop owner. After all, the breakfast in the restaurant was provided for free. If someone brought it, they would not lose anything, and they could even work less.
After entering the restaurant, they separated. Wang Xiaolei carried the lunch box and called the restaurant employees to come and eat. During this period, he kept speaking for Yang Haicheng.
Although the restaurant employees were paid a lot of money, the restaurant also provided them with breakfast for free. They didn't even pay attention to the breakfast shop outside the back door. They all gave it a thumbs up.
The shop owner took his staff with him to apologize to the restaurant guests and served breakfast. The shop owner took some care and opened the lunch box when serving breakfast so that people could see and smell it.
The breakfast presentation was good, the ingredients used were honest, and the aroma was sufficient. Many guests accepted it, and some even long-term guests ordered breakfast for a few days.
As for Yang Haicheng, he went up to the fourth floor with breakfast to please Lan Jinzhu. Lan Jinzhu did not refuse and ate there in small bites while Yang Haicheng watched blankly.
Lan Jinzhu was the manager's secretary and worked in the manager's office. Lu Shaoting was the manager and was also in the office. Watching this scene, his brows furrowed slightly.
Yang Haicheng was on the side, "silly" watching Lan Jinzhu finish eating, and then he "silly" reacted and asked Lu Shaoting if he wanted to eat, which made Lan Jinzhu chuckle.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This smile made Yang Haicheng "dumbfounded" again. It took him a while to react, he stammered, turned around in three steps, and reluctantly left.
Lu Shaoting was "so angry" that he slammed the office door and listened outside the door to make sure that the person was gone before turning around.
"What on earth are you thinking? The target is coming, how do you provoke such a person? What if you screw up in the end?"
There were no outsiders around, so Lan Jinzhu was too lazy to continue pretending, and replied calmly: "I was in a daze that day, and I accidentally exposed it. How did I know that he would stick to me?
As for the target, I can deal with it myself. If it is easy to get, I will not cherish it. I just want to use this little guy to make him anxious and whet the old guy's appetite.
Besides, the above is asking you to cooperate with my actions, not asking me to obey your orders. Please correct your attitude."
After hearing these words, Lu Shaoting fell silent. He knew that some of the words were excuses, but there was nothing he could do.
Although he didn't know what level the person in front of him was, but based on just a few words in the order above, he knew that he wouldn't be much lower than him, and in some aspects, he might even be higher than him.
The above order was only given to him alone, and he was asked to destroy it immediately after reading it, and was not allowed to reveal anything about it.
What's more, even the orders were extremely vague. He only asked himself to cooperate fully, but nothing else happened. The superiors were so defensive in front of him, and the other party's identity was definitely much more confidential than himself.
But in the past six months, he always felt that the person in front of him seemed to have other thoughts, but he was unable to contact his superiors to inform him because the order prohibited him from using any method to convey any information related to the other party.
I hope everything goes well! Lu Shaoting thought to himself and complained a little to his superiors, why not let that guy who I haven't seen for ten days and a half take over? At least he is of a higher level than me!
