After clearing the stalls, Zhang Dagui called Chen Youcai and Zhao Xiaolin over, and stood behind the counter together.
"The total income tonight is more than 300, which is much higher than yesterday!"
Zhang Dagui looked left and right, and then said happily in a low voice.
"That's really great. If this goes on, our booth can make a lot of money!"
Zhao Xiaolin and Chen Youcai looked at each other, and cheered softly.
"Hehe, thanks to Youcai's secret recipe."
Zhang Dagui smiled with emotion: "You are talented, this kind of love, Uncle Dagui will remember you forever!"
"Uncle Gui, you are too polite."
Chen Youcai smiled modestly, and was quite happy in his heart.
"Hey, three hundred per person, don't say that Uncle Gui has a dark heart. When the business is on the right track in the future, I will give you a salary increase!"
Zhang Dagui took out six hundred-yuan bills and handed them to Chen Youcai and Chen Youcai respectively. His posture was really heroic.
The main source of the cost of a teppanyaki stall is the stall fee, but the cost of ingredients is a small part.
Now that the business is booming, it can be said that it can be described as making money every day. Besides making money, Zhang Dagui will naturally not treat Chen Youcai and Chen Youcai badly.
"Uncle Dagui, this, this is too much."
Just when Zhao Xiaolin happily accepted the money, Chen Youcai was a little bit troubled and smiled wryly.
You know, in the past, he and Zhao Xiaolin only earned 50 yuan after working all night.
But after these two days, Zhang Dagui was willing to give them 600 yuan... almost half a month's salary.
This made Chen Youcai happy, but also a little embarrassed, as if he had taken advantage of Zhang Dagui.
"Take it, you deserve it!"
Zhang Dagui stared, and forced the money into Chen Youcai's palm.
"Without your help, the stall would have been closed for a long time. How could it be in the current situation?"
"Yeah, Brother Talented, Uncle Da Gui is a good man, if you don't charge him money, he will feel uneasy!"
Zhao Xiaolin also quickly persuaded her.
"You have the nerve to say that you used to be the one who liked to be lazy the most."
Chen Youcai was amused, and rolled his eyes at Zhao Xiaolin: "With so much money, I see how you will be lazy in the future!"
"Okay, okay, I will work hard in the future, and I promise I will never be lazy again!"
Zhao Xiaolin's face turned red when she was told, and she stuck out her tongue.
Farewell to Zhang Dagui, the time is only nine o'clock in the evening.
Zhao Xiaolin yelled that she had made money and wanted to celebrate, and without further ado, she dragged Chen Youcai to a nearby milk tea shop.
"Bring a cup home for Aunt Xu."
Honestly paying the bill, Chen Youcai thought about it and said to Zhao Xiaolin.
"Okay, then bring a cup for Uncle Zhuang!"
Zhao Xiaolin looked indifferent, and took small sips from the cup of milk tea, since Chen Youcai paid for it anyway.
"Forget it with my dad, he hates me spending money to buy these things for him."
Chen Youcai shook his head, looked at the nearby supermarket, and planned to buy a new electric razor for his father.
After a while, the two headed towards Chenjia Village along the original road.
The bustling lights of the town gradually fade away behind him. Compared with the dark Chenjia Village, it is like two worlds.
"Brother talented, if I have money, I will build a cement road for our Chenjia Village, and install bright street lights!"
Zhao Xiaolin took out her mobile phone as a flashlight, and said as she walked.
"If you drink less than two cups of milk tea every day, I guess you will have enough money."
Chen Youcai joked with a smile, but he didn't take it to heart. After all, he had thought too much about such bold words.
However, the burden of life fell on his shoulders early, so he didn't dare to think about it anymore.
It is Chen Youcai's biggest wish now to earn some money so that his father can live a stable life.
"Tch, how much does it cost people to drink milk tea?"
Zhao Xiaolin pursed her mouth in displeasure, then rolled her eyes wide.
She smiled slyly: "I heard people say that the Liu family village is looking for a son-in-law."
"Brother talented, why don't you try it?"
"..."
Chen Youcai's old face darkened, and he rolled his big eyes: "Who did you listen to?"
"It's the people in the village. It seems that they want to congratulate the richest man in Liujiazhuang, the daughter of Liu Wanwan... I don't know what congratulations are."
Zhao Xiaolin was talking to herself, not seeing the slight change in Chen Youcai's face, staring at the direction of her small courtyard.
A brand new Audi sedan, with high beams on, was parked at the gate of the courtyard.
Someone was smoking a cigarette in the car, and a dark red flickered on and off under the night.
The corners of Chen Youcai's eyes twitched, and his heart suddenly became awe-inspiring.
He had actually seen Liu Wanwan's driving seat, especially the eye-catching "888888" license plate number, which was still fresh in his memory.
And at this moment, the car with the license plate number was parked not far away... Could it be that Liu Wanwan couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to arrest people himself?
"Xiaolin, you go home first, they may have something to do with me."
Walking to the gate of Zhao Xiaolin's small courtyard, Chen Youcai forced a smile and waved his hand to signal the other party not to follow.
"Oh, then go to bed early."
Zhao Xiaolin didn't think much about it, she looked at the car rather curiously, and then got into her small courtyard.
"Hmph, are you finally back?"
Secretly vigilant, Chen Youcai walked up to the car step by step, and saw clearly the face of the man on the co-pilot.
The suit is wearing a sweater vest, and the hair is long and messy, as if it hasn't been washed for several days.
If Chen Youcai hadn't seen him from afar, it would be really difficult to associate this image with a millionaire boss.
It was Aunt Wang who spoke.
I haven't seen her for a few days, and she seems to have lost a lot of weight. It seems that what happened last time really made her life very difficult.
With a bang, the right rear door of the car was pushed open by Aunt Wang.
She said with a cold face: "Come up, Boss Liu wants to talk to you."
"There's nothing to talk about. I won't go to Liu's Village and bark in."
Chen Youcai pursed his lips and spoke slowly, but his eyes were fixed on Liu Wanwan in the co-pilot.
"I never like to force others, but this time is different."
Liu Wanwan rolled down the car window, threw the cigarette butt far away, and looked at Chen Youcai calmly.
"As long as you agree to be my Liu family's door-to-door son-in-law, I can pay off your family's debts, as well as your father's medical expenses."
It has to be said that if it was Chen Youcai in the past, hearing such a condition might really make him very excited.
However, after awakening the merit book, Chen Youcai became more confident.
"Thank you, but I don't need it, money... I can earn it myself."
"Chen Youcai! Don't be ignorant of flattery. Boss Liu came to see you in person. It's enough to give you face. Don't go too far, brat!"
Before Liu Wanwan could speak, Aunt Wang scolded him strangely.
"Young man, is it really so difficult to be my son-in-law Liu Wanwan?"
Liu Wanwan frowned, and took a deep look at Chen Youcai: "Sometimes, there is only one chance!"
"Let me call you Uncle Liu."
Chen Youcai smiled, and said, "Excuse me, even if I agree to come to your house and open the door, will your daughter's illness be cured suddenly?"
Liu Wanwan narrowed his eyes, and his brows furrowed a little deeper.
"Instead of wasting time on me, you might as well take your daughter to a big hospital."
The voice fell, and everyone inside and outside the car fell into silence.
"If the hospital can see it well, why should I force you like this?"
After a while, Liu Wanwan opened the car door and slowly came to Chen Youcai: "Do you smoke?"
Chen Youcai shook his head.
"Yuanyuan's strange disease cannot be cured by regular medical methods... You don't understand, I don't blame you, even if Uncle Liu begs you?"
Liu Wanwan stared at the dark sky and took a deep breath between his cigarettes.
Under the night, the dark red cigarette butts illuminated his face flickeringly.
"...Why does it have to be me?"
Chen Youcai hesitated for a while, and finally asked the biggest doubt in his heart: "There should be quite a few people with the same horoscope as me, right?"
