ADUAAOR,IJWTF Chapter 15: Someone Strikes First

“Hey, I just put away the dishes and went to clean the table for a while. Who washed them when I turned around?”

“I just picked and washed the dishes. I looked at them. There was a bowl lying there, so I washed it.”

“Sister Ai Cao put it there. Don’t always help me with the work.”

“I can’t handle the firewood piled in the backyard alone. Who of you can clean it up? For a moment?”

“I’ll do it!”

“I’ll go! You guys have a rest.”

“…”

Everyone had a job in their eyes, and everyone was rushing to do it, and there would never be any shirk or laziness.

Su Yujin saw it in her eyes and felt quite pleased in her heart.

A high salary supported integrity and good benefits supported diligence.

This would indeed never change no matter where you go.

However, Su Yujin was very happy, but she did not forget to give her instructions.

It was a good thing to help each other and rush to work, but the premise was that you must do your own duties well, and then help others. You must not neglect one thing at the expense of the other, or sacrifice one thing for the other.

In addition, you should do more work in moderation, and don’t do it too hard to avoid overwork and illness, which is not good for yourself and Su Ji.

Everyone naturally took Su Yujin’s reminder to heart. When working, they worked hard without being too reckless.

Seeing this scene, Su Yujin was completely relieved.

Su Ji had people coming and going, and there was an endless stream of guests, which made many people outside sigh.

“Su Ji’s business is always booming. The business is really good.”

“Yes, this couldn’t be described as getting rich overnight, but it was indeed a continuous stream of wealth. I truly envied it to death.”

“Hey, How much money do you think Su Ji can make in a month?”

“I don’t know, but looking at the situation…it must be dozens of taels a month, maybe hundreds of taels.”

“Oh, was money made like this?”

“No, the price it’s reasonable and fair, and the food tastes good. This Su Ji has a good reputation…”

It has a good reputation.

Shen Cang touched his slender chin.

With good business and a good reputation, a store like this was the most suitable.

And he also heard that this Su Ji was opened by a young girl.

At a young age, and being a young girl, she may not be versed in the understanding of the ways of the world. Since she insisted on personally appearing and taking charge, it seemed that there weren’t many elders above who could help her handle matters.

Such people were most likely to panic and let others take advantage of them when something happened.

As long as the commotion becomes fiercer, you can get as much money as you want, right?

Shen Cang thought for a moment, smiled, spat out a piece of grass in his mouth, reached out, and patted Meng Dahai beside him, “Let’s go.”

“What are you doing?” Meng Dahai hurriedly followed.

“Brother, I’ll take you to dinner.” Shen Cang put his arm around Meng Dahai’s somewhat fat shoulders and raised his chin. “By the way, I can get some more money to help you solve your urgent needs.”

Meng Dahai, being addicted to gambling, originally came from a not-very-prosperous family. However, he was unrepentant. This time, he stole his mother’s dowry silver bracelet as gambling capital lost everything, and was driven out of the house by his parents. They even threatened that if he didn’t go out to work and buy back the bracelet, they would break his legs and sever all ties with him.

Meng Dahai had no talent and no skills. Such a thing was really difficult for him. In addition, at this time, his food and accommodation were very problematic, so he could only rely on his former friend Shen Cang.

Shen Cang usually does some business without capital, not to mention sneaking around. He is also hungry and has no place to live. However, he is quite loyal and cannot see his friend in such trouble, so he decides to help.

When Meng Dahai heard that Shen Cang had a solution, his face suddenly lit up, “What to do?”

“Later, you just…”

Shen Cang whispered next to Meng Dahai.

After hearing this, Meng Dahai frowned, “Can this be done?”

“As long as you listen to me, there is nothing that can’t be done. Brother, I have been doing this for many years. A shop like this is the best place to start. You Just remember one thing, you must hold back later, otherwise, it will be really difficult.” Shen Cang explained.

“Don’t worry, I can bear it!” Meng Dahai nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

In order to make money, he risked his life!

The two agreed and entered Su Ji.

Su Ji’s rule was to order first and then take a seat.

The two of them looked at the food, and one of them ordered a bowl of fried noodles.

Because this meal was destined to be free, Meng Dahai ordered a lion’s head meatball and a piece of pork belly.

Shen Cang asked for another bowl of wontons.

The food was soon ready, and the two of them brought it over and ate it.

The noodles were chewy, the wontons were fragrant, and the lion head and the pork belly were extremely delicious. The two of them ate the food with admiration.

“No wonder Su Ji’s place is always bustling with people. This stuff is really delicious,” sighed Meng Dahai.

This meal would cost them over twenty wen. Eating like this for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, it would be seventy wen a day, and a month would be two taels of silver.

Tsk tsk…

“It would be great if I could eat like this every day from now on.” Meng Dahai said, feeling that he was a bit worthless, but then he thought about it, as long as the food was delicious, what is the distinction between high and low? Then he smiled again.

“After finishing today’s job, are we afraid of not having enough to eat?” Shen Cang reached out and handed Meng Dahai a roasted chestnut.
“Well, that’s true…”

Meng Dahai smiled again and then slurped down the noodles.

When he had almost eaten and burped slightly, Shen Cang winked at Meng Dahai.

Meng Dahai understood, clenched his fists, raised his heart, and opened his mouth slightly…

But before he could bite his lips hard to make it look like he was vomiting blood, he heard a “clang” sound from someone eating at the table next to him. The five or six-year-old child suddenly fell down.

He knocked over the unfinished noodle bowl and wonton bowl on the table and threw them to the floor, leaving the child in a mess. The child’s face turned purple at this time, and he kept beating his chest with his hands. He scratched his neck and looked very painful.

He was so frightened that everyone around him screamed and ran away. A woman in her thirties who was traveling with the child turned pale with fright. She quickly grabbed the child and said, “Brother Yi, please don’t scare me. What’s wrong with you? What’s wrong?”

“Doctor, find a doctor quickly!”

Someone in the crowd shouted, and some even talked about it.

“You’re just eating your meal, why is it like this?”

“I don’t know.”

“Could it be that the food is unclean?”

Hearing this, those who were eating hurriedly put the bowls and chopsticks in their hands on the table.

Shen Cang and Meng Dahai looked at each other.

Why was there still someone cutting off the beard here?

“Brother, this…”

“Let’s take a look first.” Shen Cang whispered.

If the other party is also cheating, then they will definitely not be able to use this trick anymore, but this did not stop the two of them from adding fuel to the flames and fanning the fire. When the other party succeeds, they can also get a share of the pie.

It was hard to say whether the money would be distributed, but the meal could be eaten for free.

“Yeah.” Meng Dahai nodded.

At this time, Su Ji was in a mess because of the child’s collapse.

Su Yujin just came out of the backyard. When she saw this, she frowned and said, “What happened?”
