"This...Brother, what's going on?" The fourth brother was a little confused.
So Kuiwu explained the matter to the two of them again.
"So that's how it is. Since the second and third brothers have agreed, we definitely don't want to be separated from you. After all, it doesn't matter where we work!" said the fourth brother.
The old man smiled and said, "Since you are all willing, then I will give each of you three taels of silver a month, how about that?"
"This... Old man, is this too much?" asked the second brother.
"It's not much. Watching the scene is not a good look. You might get hurt or in danger. The money is reasonable. What's more, you are all Kui Wu's brothers, so you are one of our own. It's worth it." said the old man.
"Thank you very much, old man. Kui Wu will take note of it!" Kui Wu said. He knew that the old man was giving him face and his heart was full of gratitude.
"How about I treat you at noon and let's go to Zuixianlou for a couple of drinks?" said the old man.
They looked at each other, and when they saw Kui Wu nod, they nodded in agreement.
The second brother said, "We've rented this house for several years. We're really reluctant to leave it so suddenly!"
The old man said, "Don't worry, everyone. We will take care of all your food and accommodation."
After the group agreed, they locked the gate and headed towards Zuixianlou.
Arriving at the entrance of Zuixianlou, Shopkeeper Tong was surprised to see the old man and said, "Brother, how come you have time to come here? Come in and sit down."
The old man smiled and said, "I came here today for something important to do. Please ask Brother Tong to send someone to invite Boss Qian over."
Although Shopkeeper Tong didn't know what the old man wanted to talk to Boss Qian about, he called the shop assistant without saying a word and asked him to invite Boss Qian over.
It's not lunch time yet, so there are not many customers.
Shopkeeper Tong saw that the old man was followed by several unfamiliar burly men, so he took them all into a private room.
After the waiter brought the tea, Manager Tong did not leave but sat down to chat with the old man.
"Brother, why did you suddenly think of looking for Boss Qian? Is there something wrong?" Shopkeeper Tong asked after personally pouring a cup of tea for the old man.
"To be honest, my family is planning to open a new store in Qingyun City, so we wanted to cooperate with Boss Qian."
"Brother, business is not easy in Qingyun City. Are you planning to open another barbecue restaurant?" asked Shopkeeper Tong.
"No, it's other food. I happened to have brought all the necessary ingredients. Why don't you borrow the kitchen of Zuixianlou? Brother Tong, you can try the new food my family has developed and see how it tastes. How about it?" said the old man.
"That's great." said Shopkeeper Tong.
"Why don't I go to the kitchen to prepare now before Zuixianlou starts serving customers, so as not to delay the chefs' work." said the old man.
Shopkeeper Tong knew that this was someone's secret recipe, so he didn't ask too much. He could only say, "Okay, if you need any help, ask the chef for help."
The old man nodded and pulled Qibao towards the kitchen of Zuixianlou.
Fuqiu also followed behind Qibao. She spoke very little along the way, for fear of annoying the young lady.
Although the old man had tasted the delicious hot pot last night, he was afraid that he would mess it up if he really made it alone, so he dragged Qibao along. When the time comes, he will just do whatever Qibao says.
Manager Tong also stood up and followed behind. Kui Wu was arranged to talk with the five brothers in the box.
Several people came to the kitchen, where the chef was preparing food. When he saw the three people coming in, he hurriedly greeted them.
The old man and the others all knew each other, and they also knew that the vegetables used in Zuixianlou came from the Xu family, so they were all very polite.
Shopkeeper Tong said, "Mr. Xu is planning to make a new dish. Two people will stay to help. Everyone else please leave!"
"Yes, shopkeeper!"
After Qibao entered the kitchen, he asked the two chefs to cut each type of meat into thin slices and place them directly on the plate, and asked the vegetable washer woman to wash some vegetables.
Following the steps from last night, Qibao gave instructions and the old man did as he was told. Although his technique was unfamiliar, they cooperated well with each other.
When the base ingredients were almost cooked, Fuqiu asked the chef to light a small stove and bring it into the private room.
After a while, the aroma of the hot pot base filled the entire kitchen, and gradually the aroma drifted away.
Now, Shopkeeper Tong and several chefs at the kitchen door could also smell the fragrance.
"Boss, this smells so good, right? It smells spicy and fragrant. I've been a chef for so many years, but this is the first time I've smelled such a fragrance!" said a fat chef.
"Yeah, it feels fresh and spicy. I wonder how it will taste." Another chef continued.
Shopkeeper Tong nodded. The smell made his mouth water.
After a while, the old man came out with a small iron pot, and a pot of red soup appeared in front of everyone, still steaming.
When Shopkeeper Tong saw the pot of boiling red soup, he was afraid that it would burn the old man. Now was not the time to ask questions, so he immediately moved away.
The old man carried the soup back to the box.
At this time, Master Qian had also arrived. When Qibao went in, he saw him chatting with Kui Wu and others.
The old man put the iron pot on the small stove and then greeted Boss Qian.
Boss Qian said with a smile: "I heard from the clerk sent by Manager Tong that the old man wants to cooperate with me on business. I, Qian, finally have this opportunity."
The old man said, "Boss Qian, you're too polite. Why don't we try the new food we've developed first? It won't be too late to talk after we're done."
