Siheyuan: Started in 1950, third-level cook

"The guy who stole our Fengdeng Building's business hasn't been here in the past few days!"

"What exactly is the problem?"

Shopkeeper Liu looked at the turnover on the account and scratched his head in confusion.

Could it be that Fengdenglou’s business was snatched away by that guy named Chen Jun outside?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

How could an apprentice who was fired by Fengdeng Tower and had never even worked in the kitchen take away their business?

If he really had the ability, he wouldn't have been kicked out of the kitchen in the first place.

The kitchen is Chef Liang’s territory. You can say that he has a bad temper, but you can never say that he has bad vision.

If Chen Jun had good talent and ability, Master Liang would not have sent him to the hall to do odd jobs.

If this kind of apprentice who is not presentable could take away Fengdenglou's business, then Fengdenglou would just close down.

Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Liu closed the account book helplessly and planned to go out for a walk to see if the guy who had set up the stall before had gone to set up the stall at the easternmost end.

If he were to encounter this situation, he would have to offer a high salary to invite him back to Fengdeng Tower. By then, he, the shopkeeper Liu, would have his people in the kitchen.

In this way, his control over Fengdeng Tower will be more comprehensive.

On the other side, Chen Jun and Lin Yao had already pushed the cart back home.

On the way, Lin Yao couldn't help but approach Chen Jun and whispered, "Brother, guess how much we earned today."

Chen Jun glanced at the small bag on Lin Yao's body and said with a smile, "More than 120?"

Lin Yao patted her bulging bag and said excitedly, "It's almost 140. We can maintain a stable 130 every day."

After saying that, Lin Yao suddenly changed the subject and said to Chen Jun: "Brother, we have made a lot of money. Is it necessary to ask Yan Jiecheng to help?"

"After all, it costs thirty dollars a month..."

Although they could earn a lot of money every day, Lin Yao was still reluctant to spend the thirty yuan, and also didn't want others to know how much money they made from setting up the stall.

Chen Jun naturally understood Lin Yao's concerns. After thinking for a while, he patiently explained, "Asking Yan Jiecheng to sell cooked food can just affect the judgment of the people in the courtyard about us."

"This cooked food is different from stir-fried dishes. It's expensive and sells in small quantities. As long as we can make a stable profit of 30 or 40 yuan a day, we'll be good."

"Besides, we can't sell them for a few months. When the weather gets warmer, we won't be able to do business as a stall vendor. So we should make more money during these few months."

Lin Yao asked in confusion: "Why do you always say that you won't set up a stall next year? Setting up a stall is so profitable. Are you afraid that Fengdenglou will cause trouble?"

"They are causing trouble, why don't we just go somewhere else?"

"It's not because of Fengdeng Tower..." Chen Jun said with some emotion, but did not explain much.

Lin Yao did not ask any further questions when she saw this. The brother and sister returned to the courtyard, washed the dishes and other things, and went back to their room to take a nap.

There is no way. Setting up the stall at noon is quite tiring, especially for Lin Yao, who is skinny to begin with. She can't bear it without more rest.

After sleeping until after four o'clock, Chen Jun called Lin Yao to go out. The two first went to the office on East Street to apply for a temporary stall permit.

Just as Mr. Liu said, I can get the procedure for two dollars, and I don’t need to register any detailed information.

Seeing that she had to pay two dollars for a piece of paper, Lin Yao felt a little distressed.

This is too expensive. No wonder most of the vendors on East Street don't have stall permits. Most people can't afford this price.

"If we had known it was so expensive, we wouldn't have applied for the stall permit. We won't be setting up a stall in a few months anyway."

Chen Jun put away the paperwork, patted Lin Yao's head and said, "This is called spending money to buy peace of mind, just in case. What if someone covets our business and deliberately makes trouble?"

"Two dollars isn't a lot, let's not feel bad about it."

Although setting up a street stall is a small business these days, Chen Jun’s stall is so popular that there are so many people queuing up every day.

It is better to be safe than sorry. The better your business is, the more likely people will keep an eye on you.

Let’s not talk about the big trouble of Fengdeng Building for now. There are several stalls selling stir-fried dishes on East Street alone.

People in the same industry are enemies and it is easy to get conjunctivitis.

"Okay, I just think it's a bit expensive." Lin Yao nodded and said.

She is afraid of being poor. Even though she can earn more than 100 yuan a day now, she still feels sorry for the two dollars.

In the past, two dollars to buy cornmeal was barely enough food for a family for two or three days.

Chen Jun also understood. After all, they had only been wealthy for a few days, and their previous ideas would definitely not change in a short period of time.

But the money should be spent. Not to mention two dollars, even if it was twenty dollars, Chen Jun would be willing to go through the procedure.

Master Liu is not ordinary. He spoke up to remind me, which shows that he must have sensed something.

After leaving the street office, the brother and sister walked towards Qianmen Street, their destination being Xueru Silk Shop.

On the way here, Chen Jun carefully recalled his memories of his previous life. In the play, there seemed to be several enemy spies living behind Chen Xueru's silk shop.

If we can find an opportunity to neutralize the enemy spy, it would be a great achievement.

Not to mention the bonuses, the street will at least give him a certificate of honor.

With this thing, plus their status as martyr's family members, everything will be 100% secure in the future.

But we can't rush this matter. We need to investigate first and then take action after we are sure.

With his current ability, it would be no problem for him to beat down an enemy spy, but the question is how many people live in the backyard?

Do you have a weapon in your hand?

And you have to find a suitable opportunity to contact them.

As they were thinking about it, the brother and sister came to Xueru Silk Shop.

"Oh, I thought you weren't coming today, Boss Chen!"

Chen Xueru was a businesswoman and had a good eyesight. She saw Chen Jun and his sister from a distance.

The two of them are now quite familiar with each other, and Chen Xueru even dares to make jokes.

Chen Jun smiled and explained, "I took a break at home. Even though we only work for two hours a day, we are not idle at all during these two hours. We are very busy."

"Hey, you, as a brother, don't feel sorry for your sister. You've forced her to do hard labor when she's still so young." Chen Xueru took Lin Yao's hand familiarly and said with a smile, "Come on, sister, I'll take you to change clothes."

Lin Yao was not so timid this time and followed Chen Xueru to the back.

After a while, Lin Yao came out wearing a beautiful silk dress, and Chen Xueru even put a nice little earring on her ear.

As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and in this dress, Lin Yao looks very pretty.

Looking at her carefully, she is actually a little beauty.

In fact, Lin Yao's facial features were very beautiful, but long-term malnutrition caused her face to look very pale.

Recently, my food has been improved and my face is much rosier than before.

"Brother, this dress is so beautiful!" It was also the first time for Lin Yao to wear such expensive clothes, and the joy on her face was overflowing.

Although she is a little girl, she has reached the age where she loves beauty. After all, which girl doesn't like to wear beautiful clothes?
