Chapter 38: Big Brother Sneaks a Peek at Sister-in-law

Shopkeeper Fang ran into the kitchen, shards of the wine jar splattered everywhere, and wine flowed all over the floor.

“What are you going crazy for?” Shopkeeper Fang was so angry that he wanted to beat his chest when he heard what the diners said. Not only did he not smash the scene at Zuixiang Pavilion, but he also lifted a rock and smashed his own foot!

He glared with a gloomy face, and scolded, “I told you to smash the scene, not to give Zuixiang Pavilion a chance to show off! Look at what you’ve done!”

Fang Wuqiong looked at Shopkeeper Fang with red eyes.

Shopkeeper Fang was startled by the fierce light in Fang Wuqiong’s eyes, his face turned black, and he roared angrily, “What are you staring at? You’re more than enough to fail but not enough to succeed! If the business of Fengwei Pavilion is taken away by Zuixiang Pavilion, you can get out!”

Fang Wuqiong lowered his head, his hand hanging by his side clenched into a fist, and the veins on the back of his hand bulging.

Shopkeeper Fang kicked away the shards with his foot, walked to the entrance of the restaurant, and saw that the entrance of Zuixiang Pavilion was crowded with people, his heart burning with anxiety.

Suddenly he had an idea, Shopkeeper Fang planned to dig the new chef from Zuixiang Pavilion.

——

Everyone only had one bite of fish meat, and their appetites were whetted, making them feel particularly uncomfortable.

Everyone wanted to go into the Zuixiang Pavilion for a big feast.

Shopkeeper Xu apologized, “The ingredients in the restaurant are limited, they were all used up at noon today. Everyone come again tomorrow, we will prepare more ingredients.”

Someone asked, “Is the notice you posted still valid tomorrow?”

“Yes!” Su Wan raised three fingers, “This event lasts for three days.”

Only then did the crowd disperse satisfactorily.

The customers in the restaurant paid their bills one after another.

Su Wan collected the money with a beaming smile, and Shopkeeper Xu kept the accounts.

The people who got the free bill were so happy that they were crazy, pushing the atmosphere of the restaurant to its peak.

Gu Huaizhi stood not far away watching Su Wan. She was wearing a simple dress with a hairpin, which she wore with a clear and charming style. All the light was concentrated on her, and she easily caught everyone’s attention even in the crowd.

Gu Baozhu blinked her big, watery eyes, pure and innocent, and asked, “Big brother, isn’t sister-in-law the most beautiful?”

Gu Huaizhi touched her head and did not answer.

Gu Jingyun raised his hand and knocked on Gu Baozhu’s forehead, then frowned, “You’re really stupid! If sister-in-law wasn’t beautiful, would big brother stare at her for so long?”

“Really?” Gu Baozhu covered her forehead, not feeling wronged at all. She smiled foolishly as she said, “Then I’ll tell sister-in-law later that big brother is secretly watching her!”

“I’ll testify for you!” Gu Jingyun patted his chest.

Gu Huaizhi: “……”

The two little guys saw that all the guests had left, and they hopped over to Su Wan.

Su Wan was looking through the contract. After reading it word by word, she told Shopkeeper Xu her plan, “I’m short of money now, selling recipes to you is the fastest way to make money, I never thought you would pull me into a partnership.”

“My main job is a doctor, most of the time I have to be in Xinglin Medical Hall, I’m afraid I can’t spare too much time to come to the restaurant.”

“If you’re willing, I can come to the restaurant six days a month. Normally, I come over at night to teach the chefs of Zuixiang Pavilion, so they can master the tricks of cooking.”

Five thunders striking his head!^[1]五雷轟頂(wǔ léi hōng dǐng) = Five Thunders Striking the Head, is a Chinese idiom. It means that when a person commits very wicked and immoral deeds, they will naturally be punished. But in … Continue reading

Shopkeeper Xu’s fiery little heart instantly fell into the abyss, and shattered to pieces.

“We can also do as before, I sell the recipes to you, including teaching Jiang Baiwei.” Su Wan pushed the contract in her hand to Shopkeeper Xu.

Shopkeeper Xu was very heartbroken, Su Wan’s cooking skills were superb, but it turned out to be just her hobby.

So annoying!

Why isn’t it her main job?

He suddenly couldn’t feel the joy of making money.

“Who still talks about the past now?” Shopkeeper Xu, filled with grievances he had no one to share with, placed the contract in front of Su Wan and accused her, “I’ve even prepared the contract; you can’t refuse to sign it. I’m old, and I can’t handle the ups and downs of life anymore. I’ve agreed to all your suggestions!”

Seeing his stance that he would force her to sign if she didn’t, Su Wan picked up the pen and wrote down her name.
