The old shopkeeper was also a person who had seen the world. It was just that he had been tormented by Zhang Biaode and his gang a few days ago. In addition, he had lost his job and could only rely on a small stall to survive. He had long lost his courage. When he entered the room and saw Zhang Biaode's fierce appearance, he almost knelt down and repeatedly bowed. He said,"Uncle Zhang, this old man doesn't have many days left to live. Please show mercy and let me live.”
At this moment, Zhang Debiao's awe-inspiring aura was fully revealed. He glared and shouted,"Old Man Li, you're so ignorant. I'm giving you a way out.”He pointed at me and said,"This father-in-law is the God of Fortune. If he wants to give you a favor, why don't you quickly kowtow?"”Ever since Little Lian saw Zhang Debiao, she had always felt that this fatty's charming smile was quite amiable. Now that she saw his true nature, she couldn't help but be a little afraid. She held my arm and I smiled as I patted her hand. Then, I turned my head and stared at Old Man Li.
Old Man Li listened to Zhang Debiao and then noticed Little Lian and I sitting next to him. Although I looked young, I was wearing the crown of a fifth-grade eunuch in the palace. In addition, I had a beautiful daughter-in-law by my side. The scene was indescribably strange. I couldn't hold on any longer and knelt down with a plop. "Spare me, Eunuch! Spare me, Eunuch!" he said, kowtowing.”
Little Lian's heart softened and she wanted to get up to help him, but I stopped her. After Old Man Li kowtowed for a while, she said,"Who said I want your life? I'm here to give you money. Don't kneel.”Only then did Old Man Li slowly get up. His legs still looked a little shaky. "I didn't ask for your name."”Old Man Li said,"Replying to the father-in-law's words, I'm Li Yapeng."”As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the room laughed. Even Little Lian couldn't help but giggle. She said,"Duck shed, this name is really interesting.”I heard that the name sounded familiar. It seemed to be very similar to a very famous handsome celebrity.
Then, he asked about his background. It turned out that Li Yapeng was from Shanxi. At the age of eleven, he was guaranteed by a scholar to enter a tavern in Taiyuan as an apprentice. For twenty years, he had done almost all kinds of odd jobs. The shopkeeper was evil. He was considered a teacher in his thirties and became a waiter. After another twenty years, he had a little reputation in their street. Everyone knew that the waiter in this shop would come to work. Later on, the old owner died of an illness. The three sons fought for the family property, and in the end, they fought to the government. They were all beaten half to death by the government, and the tavern was also blacklisted by the government. People thought that Li Yapeng was too old to be a waiter, so everyone else stayed behind and chased him out. Just as he was worrying about not having a way out, he happened to catch up with a restaurant on the same street that was going to the capital to do business. The owner knew that he had materials, so he invited him to the capital to be the shopkeeper. Li Yapeng worked very hard. In three to two years, he had earned a lot of money for the store. The old man had no wife and no children. He originally wanted to be able to rely on this store when he was old, but he did not expect to meet Zhang Debiao, the god of plague. In the blink of an eye, his rice bowl was smashed.
I was overjoyed after hearing him out. This Li Yapeng was indeed a talent. He had worked his way up step by step from the bottom and was quite experienced in running a tavern. He was the most suitable candidate. I immediately asked him if he was willing to be the shopkeeper of my shop. Li Yapeng couldn't believe it and rolled his small eyes at me for a long time but didn't dare to agree. I knew what was on his mind, so I smiled and said," Your original boss wouldn't give you more than five taels of silver a month, right? If you work here, I'll give you twenty taels a month. In the future, when you can't do it anymore, you'll still get this amount every month." If you follow me, you'll have someone to rely on for the rest of your life.”
Li Yapeng was overjoyed when he heard this. He immediately knelt down and said,"Originally, the boss only gave three taels of silver a month. The boss gave too much, and this old man couldn't afford it.”"Twenty taels isn't a lot. If you do well, I'll give you more. Besides, I'm not your boss."”Li Yapeng didn't understand and looked up at me. I patted Little Lian's hand and said,"This granny is your boss. You will follow her in the future. If you do well, I will reward you heavily. If you dare to be two-faced, I will skin you alive.”The last sentence was spoken in a stern voice. Li Yapeng was so frightened that he kowtowed again and said repeatedly,"I don't dare, I don't dare, this old man will never do anything to let down my master.”Seeing that the carrot and stick were quite effective, I nodded in satisfaction and smiled at Little Lian."Lady Boss, do you have any instructions for me?”Little Lian pinched me and said to Li Yapeng,"Shopkeeper Li, get up quickly. Don't kowtow so often in the future. Don't look at our Little Treasure just because he's fierce.”This girl is trying to ruin my stage. But in the future, she will be in charge here. It's up to her as long as she can coax the servants.
Little Lian really had some talent as a boss's wife. After a while, she discussed with Li Yapeng about recruiting waiters and apprentices. I told them that there was no need to find a chef and a waiter. I would be in charge and bring them here in two days. The rest would be discussed by the two of them. Little Lian liked this restaurant, so she immediately started to run it. I was thinking about the imperial chef, so I left Little Lian in the restaurant and let her do whatever she wanted. He went to the casino with Zhang Debiao and the rest.
"Big Brother Zhang, how many of us still have the palace token?" I asked when we reached the casino.”Zhang Debiao said," There are more than 20 people who quit their jobs with me. There are still more than 30 brothers who remain in the palace. They will come over when they are not on duty. There are more than 10 of them in the field now."”I said happily,"Call them all here and let me take them."”Zhang Debiao said to the followers behind him,"Gou 'zi, go and call those who haven't resigned. Eunuch has something important to do."”That dog was very efficient and brought him here in a moment. I shouted,"Brothers, follow me to capture him.”The warriors cheered and excitedly followed me into the palace.
When the group entered the palace, a warrior had already asked for their purpose and ran to the cloth warehouse to pull people. Not long after, they rushed over with more than ten warriors. I looked at them and saw more than twenty men. They were very imposing. I want these twenty plus people to go to the imperial kitchen to pass on a message and order Li Fugui to gather all one hundred and twenty-seven imperial chefs. Then, I will run back to my residence to get the book that Li Fugui recorded.
By the time I arrived at the imperial kitchen, Li Fugui had already gathered all the imperial chefs together. A hundred or so people were squeezed into the courtyard, trembling with fear as they discussed in low voices, not knowing what their fate would be. More than 20 warriors stood on the steps around them, staring at them like tigers eyeing their prey. Seeing me arrive, the crowd quieted down. Li Fugui brought a few managing eunuchs and ran over to cheat. I ordered the others to stay and only led Li Fugui into a side room.
When Li Fugui closed the door and turned around, I fiercely smashed the notebook in my hand on his face.
***
Li Fugui said," Tomorrow night at midnight, the author is going to hold some kind of enhancement session. The few of us also want to participate. It's just that Eunuch Gui lost his temper today. I don't know if he can get through this. If he can't go, wouldn't it be a pity for the author's painstaking efforts?"”
