Master Luo left without even making lunch. He just left like a gust of wind.
Tao Ji looked at the backs of his departing comrades with mixed feelings. He suddenly understood the feelings of Jiang Wei of Shu Han.
We were ready to fight to the death, why did you surrender?
Director Kong who rushed over was also stunned. Tao Ji told him yesterday that Master Luo wanted to challenge Xu Shang. He thought this would be a good show, so he agreed immediately. But today...
Master Luo has surrendered.
They raised the white flag faster than fucking France.
"Um, director. Shall we shoot this?" The host, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but ask the director.
“It’s better not to shoot!”
Although this scene was indeed very dramatic, Director Kong looked at Tao Ji's desolate face and shook his head.
If this was filmed, he himself would feel that the live preview of this program seemed like it was bought by Xu Shang's family, but it was obvious that he was favoring Tao Ji.
After shaking their heads and sighing, they all went back to their own business, leaving Tao Ji alone in the desolate place.
But Tao Ji didn't stay alone for long, a certain foreman came to him tremblingly and cautiously and asked: "Master Tao, now that Master Luo has left, what do you think about our meal?"
Tao Ji glared at the contractor in anger, but he was not unreasonable. He said, "Just hand out the meal allowances and let them eat on their own!"
"Oh! Ok, ok!"
The contractor was actually very happy, because this way, he didn't have to pay out of pocket. The program crew returned the meal allowance he had received at the original price, and then returned the money Tao Ji had given him. Even if the workers had to pay an extra three yuan per person to make it 18 yuan, he would not lose out.
Because at least now I don’t have to pay for the meals of those part-time workers.
After all, it was Master Tao's generosity that the canteen provided meals. Now that the canteen is gone, there is no reason for us to continue providing meals.
After hearing that the meal allowance would be paid directly, the program crew was very happy because they indeed preferred to eat at Xu Shang's place. The construction team was even happier because Xu Shang gave them a preferential price. The 18 yuan meal allowance actually had a few yuan left over, which was equivalent to a salary increase.
The only unhappy ones are the part-time workers who have to find a way to make ends meet after only having a few free meals.
"Hey, I have to bring steamed buns again tomorrow morning!"
"Master Luo's cooking skills are actually quite good! Why did he leave?"
Not everyone is willing to go to Xu Shang's place for breakfast. For many villagers who have to spend every penny carefully, spending a few dollars on breakfast is still too luxurious. Even though they have heard that it is very delicious, they are still reluctant to enjoy it.
…
It was noon.
The contractor stood outside Tao Ji's room, pacing back and forth for a long time before he finally mustered up the courage to gently knock on the door and said, "Master Tao, shall we go eat too?"
"roll!"
Tao Ji's angry shout came from the room:
"I, Tao Ji, would rather die of starvation today, die outside, or jump off a building than eat a single bite of Xu Shang's food."
The contractor shrank his neck, thinking that he had to bring a meal to Master Tao, so he followed the group of people who were going to eat and came to Xu Shang.
While waiting in line, he saw today's main course and couldn't help swallowing.
Grilled eel!
It is somewhat outrageous to be able to eat grilled eel in the migrant workers' canteen.
Xu Shang was grilling eels, which were not alive but freshly caught.
There was no other way. In Yunnan Province, the price of live eels was too high. Moreover, Xu Shang was not reluctant to give back to his fellow villagers. The point was that he wanted to buy live eels, but he couldn't find anyone to sell them to.
The taste of cold and fresh food is indeed incomparable to that of fresh food, but with our craftsmanship, the taste will not be too different.
The important thing is that Xu Shang actually likes to bring some new experiences to the folks. You know, in the central and western parts of China, many, many people have never eaten eel rice in their lives.
"This must be fish from the sea! It's so delicious!"
"The fish in this ocean tastes different! Thanks to Brother Xiao Xu, otherwise I would never be able to eat them in my lifetime!"
Hearing the villagers' discussions, Xu Shang became happier.
As a chef, the happiest thing is never making money, but getting happy comments from customers.
But just when Xu Shang was happy, he suddenly discovered something that made him not very happy.
Xu Shang raised his eyebrows, walked to the food counter, faced the man who was handing him five dollars that made him not very happy, and uttered a word.
"roll!"
The contractor was stunned for a moment. Apart from Tao Ji, no one here dared to talk to him like this. He raised his head, turned his face up, and questioned fiercely:
"What the hell did you just say to me?"
"Didn't you hear me? I told you to get out! We don't want you here!"
"Who are you to speak to me like that!?"
"I'm Xu Shang."
"you……"
The contractor was stunned for a moment. Only then did he realize that the person in front of him was Xu Shang who had competed with Tao Ji.
However, he respected Tao Ji from the Architects Association, but did not take Xu Shang seriously. He immediately said in a stern manner: "What do you mean? You opened a shop and I am a customer! If you treat me like this, do you believe I will smash your shop?"
"You mean you want to destroy my store?"
Xu Shang slightly raised the tone of his voice, and at this moment, with a "swish", the entire cafeteria, all the people in Tianya Village, stood up, all eyes were fixed on the contractor.
