Chapter 19: Come to the door? Kowtow?
In the evening, in the lobby of Zuixianlou.
As usual, there were four dishes, a soup and some steamed buns on the table. Wang Ye and Chen Chong were sitting around the table eating dinner.
"Aji, you little bastard"
At this moment, Wang Ye took a bite of the steamed bun in his hand, looked at the open door, and frowned slightly: "Let him go out to play and relax for a day, but he went crazy and has n't come back yet!"
"Aji is usually very noisy. Today, he got the chance and he will never come back unless he has a good time."
After hearing Wang Ye's words, Chen Chong picked up a piece of mutton with chopsticks and spoke.
"Come to think of it, Chen Chong, you are quite calm and composed."
Seeing Chen Chong talking to him, Wang Ye's eyes turned and fell on Chen Chong: "You are busy in the kitchen every day, but you don't complain."
When it comes to Chen Chong, Wang Ye is absolutely confident.
Since hiring Chen Chong as the cook, Wang Ye has never worried about kitchen matters.
When it comes to buying groceries and cooking every day, Chen Chong is always in control and her accounts are clear and measured.
There have been cases of chefs stealing in other restaurants, and other owners have turned a blind eye to it, but this has never happened to Chen Chong.
Not only that, Chen Chong never wastes the meat and vegetables she buys every day and makes the best use of them.
Especially his knife skills. The slices of meat he cut were as thin as cicada wings and cooked through in oil. In Wang Ye's opinion, even a knife master with many years of experience could not achieve such a level.
"Thank you for the compliment, shopkeeper"
After hearing what Wang Ye said, Chen Chong chuckled and said, "You pay much more than other cooks. If I still cheat, I 'd be conscienceless..."
"Besides, I'm just a cook. Cooking good food is my job. Why would there be so many things to do?"
Honest man!
After hearing Chen Chong's words, Wang Ye sighed.
There are countless people like Aji who are cunning and deceitful, but there are not many people like Chen Chong who are down-to-earth.
"Chen Chong, I see you are not young anymore"
Thinking of this, Wang Ye changed the subject and asked, "Where is your hometown? Do you have any family?"
"If you are willing, lend me your wife to do odd jobs. I will definitely pay you less!"
Ever since the official document was posted, Zuixianlou's business has improved a lot, with a constant stream of diners every day, which also exposed the problem of staff shortage.
So Wang Ye thought of finding another handyman.
Chen Chong is honest and reliable, and his wife must be a virtuous person. Hiring her to work as a handyman not only solves the problem, but also provides Chen Chong with an extra source of income.
Chen Chong blushed as soon as he said this: "Boss, I haven't married yet!"
"Not married?"
Hearing this, Wang Ye was a little surprised.
Originally, he thought Chen Chong was a family man because she was so honest and decent.
Unexpectedly, Chen Chong is still unmarried.
Thinking of this, Wang Ye suddenly became interested. He put down the steamed bun in his hand and said, "Is there anyone you like? Do you want me to help you find a matchmaker?"
"There are quite a few female workers in Shopkeeper Wang's cloth shop. Although they look ordinary, their figures are really curvy..."
"Find one and I guarantee you won't be able to hold a knife the next day!"
As he spoke, Wang Ye patted Chen Chong on the back, with a hint of obscenity on his face.
"Shopkeeper..."
After hearing what Wang Ye said, Chen Chong collapsed and said, "I think it's not safe for Aji to call you a money-grubber..."
"Rather than being a money-grubber, I think it's more appropriate to call you an old pervert..."
"Hey!"
After hearing what Chen Chong said, Wang Ye's face changed and he said, "Chen Chong, I noticed that you are being led astray by that little bastard Aji!"
"No, today I have to have a serious talk with you and change your mindset that has been distorted by Aji!"
Having said that, Wang Ye straightened his chair and prepared to give a long speech like Chen Chong!
"Shopkeeper!"
Just as Wang Ye was about to speak, a shout was heard.
Following the sound, I saw Aji walking in while eating a roast chicken.
Because of eating roast chicken, his face was covered with grease: "I'm back!"
"You still remember to come back?"
Looking at Ah Ji's expression, Wang Ye said, "I let you play for a day and you've gone crazy until now. You even bought a roast chicken to eat. Isn't Chen Chong's cooking delicious?"
"There's nothing wrong with what Chen Chong makes, but you can't stand eating it every day."
After hearing what Wang Ye said, Aji said, "I just bought a roast chicken to improve my mood."
"Besides, I bought you a present!"
As he spoke, Aji took out a rectangular object from his arms and placed it in front of Chen Chong: "This is the whetstone I bought for you. Every time I get up in the middle of the night, I can see you sharpening your knife in the backyard. With this whetstone, you can save a lot of effort."
Chen Chong was slightly startled when he heard this, but then he smiled again: "You didn't eat my food in vain!"
After giving the whetstone to Chen Chong, Aji placed a pot of wine in front of Wang Ye: "Boss, this is for you!"
"You little bastard, do you have money to burn?"
Looking at the wine pot in front of him, Wang Ye said, "When have we ever been short of wine as the innkeeper? Are you trying to fool a fool like me by buying me a pot of wine?"
"Boss, you don't understand this, do you?"
Hearing what Ah Ji said, Ah Ji smiled slightly and said, "This is Huichuntang's newly brewed tiger penis wine. After drinking it, it is not only good for your health, but also very nutritious. It is especially effective for those with deficiency of yang energy, weakness and frailty!"
"Hey, you little bastard!"
After hearing what Aji said, Wang Ye's eyes widened: "When did my vital energy become deficient and weak?"
"Okay, boss, I understand everything !"
Looking at Wang Ye's appearance, Aji smiled and nodded: "Doctor Zhu of Huichuntang told me that people like you who are tall but have no physical strength are mostly caused by deficiency of Yuanyang!"
"If you drink this pot of tiger whip wine, it will surely make you vigorous and energetic, and your fighting spirit will be high!"
"Fuck me!"
After hearing what Ah Ji said, Wang Ye slammed the table and said, "That old bastard Zhu from Huichun Hall is making fun of me!"
"I'm going to the gate of Huichun Hall right now and spread the news that this old coffin guy is eating and drinking in Yihong Courtyard without setting off any fireworks."
"See if he still has the nerve to sell tiger penis wine!"
Having said that, Wang Ye was ready to get up and rush to Huichun Hall.
However, at the moment Wang Ye stood up, a figure staggered in and knelt down in front of everyone with a plop.
? ? ?
Seeing this scene, everyone looked at each other.
This is strange, what happened today?
Why would someone come to kowtow when it’s not a festival?
"Sir, please stand up quickly!"
Thinking of this, Wang Ye stepped forward to support the figure: "We can't afford such a generous gift from you!"
As soon as these words came out, the figure suddenly raised his head.
When Wang Ye saw the appearance of this figure, his heart skipped a beat.
