Courtyard House: The Chef's Intelligence System

Hearing his master describe the situation as so serious, Jia Dongxu scrambled to his knees before Yi Zhonghai, wailing and crying:

"Master, I won't do it again. I was just doing it for fun. I was blinded by greed and greedy for small gains."

"Please forgive me this time. I will definitely learn the skills from you properly in the future. If it happens again, I will figure it out myself without you having to tell me."

Yi Zhonghai stared intently at Jia Dongxu:

"Are you sure you want to change it? Then how do we handle this situation?"

Jia Dongxu hurriedly said:

"I'll return the things, I'll buy ribs, and I'll exchange the dumplings for money and put it back in the pillar's ice tank."

"Just pretend nothing happened."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai frowned: "Why don't you go and talk to Zhu Zi about it?"

"You're all young people, it's just a joke. It's not hard to set up a banquet and apologize."

Upon hearing this, Jia Dongxu's face was filled with complex emotions, and he said:

"Master, you don't understand. Sha Zhu is younger than me, but he's doing better than me, and the wife he married is just as good as mine."

"My house is not as nice as his, and I don't earn as much money as him."

"They all live in the Central Courtyard, their homes are so close."

"When we were kids, Shazhu was always my shadow, but now he's stood up for himself!"

"I took his things purely to give Sha Zhu something to do."

"Master, it's so uncomfortable that Sha Zhu is pressing down on me like that!"

The silly pillar on the other side of the wall: "Thanks the hell to you for giving me something to do!"

At the same time, Sha Zhu felt a little smug; he thought, "I'm definitely living a better life than you, Jia Dongxu."

Li Jiuzhou smiled slightly; he could understand Jia Dongxu's feelings.

As the oldest among the younger generation in the hospital, he was the first to start working and the first to get married, so you could say he has a very fulfilling life.

But his former underling suddenly rose to prominence and was living a better life than him, so it's normal for him to have some changes in his mindset.

This is the psychology of a normal person. Jia Dongxu is still young, and it is only natural for him to compare himself with his peers.

Moreover, Sha Zhu doesn't know how to be low-key. If you ask him how much money he has in savings, he will definitely refuse to tell you.

But if you ask him how much he earns a month, he'll have a lot to talk about, and he'll even bring it up all the time.

He once said this to Jia Dongxu, and Li Jiuzhou overheard it clearly:

"This guy works in the first canteen of the steel rolling mill. He's a small team leader, and his monthly salary is 68.5 yuan, plus a subsidy of about 70 yuan."

"70 yuan isn't much; I can't possibly spend it all, I simply can't..."

"Jia Dongxu, you only have about 40 yuan? You've given all your money to your wife, haven't you? Are you so poor you're practically urinating blood?"

Who the hell would feel comfortable listening to him talk like that?

Jia Dongxu already showed leniency by not actually stealing your money.

If it were someone narrow-minded and hot-tempered, they might have taken your house!

Although Yi Zhonghai found it hard to understand his apprentice's words, he understood the competitive nature among young people, as he had done it himself before.

So he tried to persuade him again:

"Don't compare yourself to others anymore. People have different levels of success. Dongxu, you're still young. You might not necessarily do worse than Zhuzi in the future."

Everyone has their lucky days; who can predict the future?

"Just listen to your master and learn the skills honestly from now on."

"If you have a wife and children, don't do things you shouldn't do. Even if you do them, you should consider all aspects before doing them."

"Do you understand?"

Jia Dongxu nodded solemnly: "I understand, Master."

Yi Zhonghai nodded in satisfaction: "Pack up and go back."

"Yes, Master, I'm coming right now."

After the master and apprentice left, Li Jiuzhou and Shazhu came out.

Sha Zhu said, "Senior brother, what should we do? The Jia family mother and son stole our spare ribs and dumplings, and we overheard it."

Li Jiuzhou countered, "Then what do you plan to do?"

Sha Zhu scratched his head: "I don't know what to do either. I feel it's not right to beat him up, but Jia Dongxu just got a really bad beating from Yi Zhonghai."

"Didn't Jia Dongxu say he was going to return the things? Senior brother, why don't we wait a couple of days?"

Li Jiuzhou nodded: "Okay, we'll talk about it later."

It wouldn't be difficult to expose this matter, but it would just mean another fight with the Jia family.

The two brothers came here to check on the progress of the construction site.

Li Jiuzhou had previously suggested building a pigsty on the abandoned vacant lot to raise several pigs in case of emergency.

There's plenty of dishwater and rotten vegetable scraps in the cafeteria.

As for leftovers? That's impossible.

Some were even bought back by people to eat for their families.

Even if there were any, they would be shared among the cafeteria staff.

This open space is quite large. Li Jiuzhou estimates that he can raise about 30 pigs and 50 chickens and 50 ducks each without any problem.

As for who will raise them, it certainly won't be him; the factory can arrange for the breeding staff.

Don't underestimate this job; it's a full-time, paid job, and people outside are scrambling to get in and raise pigs.

Li Jiuzhou mentioned it to Li Huaide at the time, and he immediately took action.

After discussing it with the factory leaders, we felt that this was a feasible project.

Just in case, in case the purchasing department is not up to par, then we'll have to use it.

Moreover, it doesn't cost much money, and a few more staff members will suffice.

Li Jiuzhou thought raising some poultry for meat was fine, but growing vegetables was out of the question.

He wouldn't know anything about greenhouse farming.

It's not like the factory can't get fresh vegetables; the purchasing department can just find a way to buy them. Why is he worrying about all this?

Let's talk about Xu Damao. This morning he made an appointment with Liu Guangqi to go to a bathhouse together.

After the massage, there was a Su Mei who talked about love.

That's where things got complicated; Su Mei was targeted by someone.

She was good-looking and naturally attracted men, but this man was a vagrant, an unemployed street thug.

Xu Damao and Liu Guangqi were stuck on their way home.

The man in the lead arrogantly stepped forward:

"You donkey-faced brat, trying to steal my woman?"

Xu Damao wasn't made of clay; he wasn't afraid of being surrounded by people, and calmly said:

"Brother, everything has to be done in order of arrival. Su Mei and I were classmates in school. Don't use that to argue that you're competing with me for a woman."

"What, resorting to underhanded tactics after failing to win her over?"

Upon hearing this, the man in the lead snorted coldly: "Don't give me that nonsense. If you know what's good for you, don't come looking for Su Mei again, or you'll be sorry."

Xu Damao flew into a rage upon hearing this: "You think I'm afraid of your insults? Do you even know who my elder brother is?"

"You'll be shocked if I told you!"

The man asked with interest, "Who's your older brother?"

"My elder brother is He Yuzhu, the freakish chef at Fengzeyuan!"

The leader's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, becoming even more sinister, and he shouted:

"Damn it, it's better if you don't mention Bao Chu, it just makes me angry."

Xu Damao and Liu Guangqi were puzzled by the man's words, but the man continued:

"What does my sister have to do with the Wang family at Zhengyangmen refusing to pay for the 'bad chef'?"

"That bastard forced my sister and me to fight without saying a word!"

"My sister did absolutely nothing and got beaten up twice. Isn't that incredibly unfair?!"

"Now that the wedding is off, and since you've brought up the chef, that's perfect, let's settle all our old and new scores together."

Then he waved his hand:

"Brothers, get them! Beat them to death if you can't kill them already!"
