Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

"Third brother, how is it?"

In the small house, there was a hunched old man sitting, but this old man made sounds that were different from his body.

"It's a bit strange. Today I saw the government officials going to the restaurant to eat. Did Mr. Cao notice something?"

"Not really?" The old man was slightly startled, then shook his head: "Probably not, Samadhi Tower, I guess I'm just going there to have a meal. Now in the whole city of Sijiu, everyone knows that the food in Samadhi Tower is delicious."

"Yeah, I'm probably overthinking it." Ye San also felt that he was worrying too much.

You won’t let people eat?

Besides, if they really went there to investigate, they wouldn't wear casual clothes. I guess they were just having a gathering.

"Damn it, these officials must have taken a lot of money on weekdays, otherwise how could they afford to eat at Samadhi Tower? There are nearly ten of them, and Xiaoliu even said that they booked a private room."

"Tsk, why envy them? We succeeded this time and earned much more than them."

"Too."

"Be smart, don't show it."

"Do not worry."

the next day.

Cao Wei acted as if nothing had happened and went back to work.

Ye San didn't show up either.

He was not in a hurry, just waiting for the other party to make a move.

"There really is someone eyeing Samadhi Tower." Fei Quan muttered to himself.

After returning yesterday, Wu Changshun said he took the matter seriously and didn't take it seriously either, so he sent someone to investigate.

Of course, you can't investigate someone openly.

First of all, let's make it clear that at least the person has not yet committed a crime, he is just in the preparation stage. In other words, it is another matter whether he is a criminal or not. If you find out later and find that the person has escaped, then it would be a real sin.

Fei Quan rolled his eyes and walked over naturally.

He took out a cigarette from his pocket, which was not a very good one, and handed it to the person who was following him.

"Hey, buddy, let me ask you something."

The person who was following was startled by Fei Quan's sudden appearance, but when he saw Fei Quan handing him a cigarette, his eyes rolled and he took it with a smile: "What's the matter? What do you want to know? Don't worry, just ask me about things around here, I know everything."

"I just want to know when this Samadhi Building will recruit workers." Fei Quan sighed, "Hey, you don't know. It's really embarrassing to say that the cafeteria in our factory can't be run anymore. Now it's not profitable every day. I heard in the newspaper that many people eat at this Samadhi Building and the chefs are paid well, so I thought about coming here to try my luck. Hey, do you know what's going on here?"

After listening to Fei Quan's words, the people who were following him felt much more at ease.

Came here to inquire about the job.

If we don’t meet two or three such people on this day, it would be a shame for the reputation of Samadhi Tower.

"Hey, forget it. Whenever Samadhi Lou recruits, the positions are filled immediately. They won't recruit unless they are short of people. You have to have confidence in your skills. There are many restaurants on this street. Just ask around."

"Ah." Fei Quan sighed, found a place, squatted down, and looked at the Samadhi Building: "Tell me, if I keep watching like this, will I be able to finish this job one day?"

"I see, it's pretty bad." Ye Liu laughed: "How can you tell it's work? There are so many people watching here."

"Aren't you watching here too, buddy?"

"I'm different from you."

"Tsk." Fei Quan took a bite and said, "What's the difference? It's all for a bite of food. Well, I won't say any more. I'll go in and ask."

"It's a waste of effort." Ye Liu shrugged.

Sure enough, Fei Quan came out dejected just a few minutes after he went in.

Feeling a little annoyed, he searched his pocket again, only to find that the cigarette box was still empty.

"Dude, I just gave you one, you have to give me one back anyway, right?"

"Hey, I'm talking to you, you're so shameless." Ye Liu didn't get angry. He took out a bag of Peony and handed one over.

"Oh my god!" Fei Quan was shocked: "Mudan? Are you a cadre?"

"What department, what department." Ye Liu couldn't hold back his smile: "I made a little money, I made a little money."

"Make money? How do you make money? Hey, can you show me a little bit?" Fei Quan immediately came over.

"I say, you are such a shameless person." Ye Liu frowned.

"Hey, I have parents and children to take care of. To be honest, I am the only one working in my family. The rest of us are all asking for money." Fei Quan sighed and lit a cigarette. "Twenty years ago, I was the king of the world, but not now. Hey, brother, seriously, do you have any way to make money? If you have a way to make money, please take me with you. When the time comes, I will give you half of what I earn."

"You can't do it." Ye Liu waved his hand.

"Hey, why can't I do it?" Fei Quan quit.

"Don't you still have a job?"

"50 yuan a month." Fei Quan was a little depressed: "It's not fun to work. I don't want more, yuan a month is enough."

"Fifty dollars? Look at what you have achieved." Ye Liu snorted coldly.

"Then show me the way. I'll work with you as long as I can get more than I have now. As I said before, we can split it 50-50. How about that?"

"Why didn't you say you wanted fifty miles?"

"That won't work." Fei Quan shook his head.

"why?"

"Think about it, if you can help me earn 500 yuan, and in the end, I will only get 50 yuan, would you dare to let me make money with you? Everyone can make money, that's the money to be made. It's impossible for me to work hard and get nothing, right?"

"Hey, that's interesting. If you really want to do it, go to XX Street at 7 o'clock tomorrow night and wait. I'll arrange a job for you."

"What kind of work?"

"You'll know when it arrives."

"Okay then, it's settled. Don't fool me."

"Why should I fool you? You're just a little short of that. But let me make it clear first, fifty-fifty." Ye Liu stretched out five fingers and moved them back and forth.

"Don't worry, it's okay. I'll give you as much as I deserve. Besides, aren't you the one who's leading me in this matter? If I don't give it to you, you can just stop leading me."

"Then it's done, it's settled."

"My name is Fei Quan, what do you want to be called, buddy?"

"Ye Liu."

When Fei Quan heard the name, his heart trembled.

Ye Liu, that’s interesting.

"That's a simple enough name. Hey, you're the sixth child in the family?"

"That's what I mean. Why don't you go home? Are you planning to stay here for a while? Is Samadhi Tower hiring?"

"How can that be possible?" Fei Quan smiled, showing his big white teeth: "Okay, I have work to do. I'll go back first. Tomorrow night, 7 o'clock?"

"Yes, don't be late."

"Don't worry, I'm always on time."
