Fisherman Fubao made his fortune by fishing

Chapter 207 Employee Dinner

Li Yuer and the others were also shocked. They didn't expect that there was another hidden story behind Lai Zi's parents.

Li Laosan said: "That man was the one who wanted to buy Xinxin's big gold tooth, and Chen Tianshun was the one who started the commotion."

After Li Laosan mentioned this, several people recognized them at once.

"These people are so vicious. I don't know how many people they have harmed." Li Dalang looked at the people who were dragged away like dead dogs by the yamen runners, his eyes full of satisfaction.

Li Erlang sighed and said, "Lai Zi will definitely be very sad when he knows the truth. He has misunderstood Aunt Qiao all these years, thinking that Aunt Qiao didn't care about his life or death at all, and cruelly chose to jump into the river not long after his father passed away."

Li Yuer sighed and said, "Aunt Qiao didn't want to tell you back then, probably for the sake of her reputation, that is, to protect Lai Zi. But fortunately, the ending is good. Mother and son don't hold grudges overnight. I believe that after knowing the truth, the misunderstanding will be resolved, and the relationship between Lai Zi and Aunt Qiao will be better. Now Aunt Qiao has found her home. Captain Zhong is a good man and will definitely treat Aunt Qiao well. Lai Zi also has the ability to make a living, and his life will get better and better in the future."

Seeing Lai Zi coming down from the hall with a pale face, his friends surrounded him with concern.

"Laizi, are you okay?" Li Laosan said, putting his arm around his shoulders.

Lai Zi shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Third Brother. I'm fine. I'm just a little angry. Chen Tianshun, this evil man, caused me to misunderstand my mother for many years. I'm not a good son."

Li Erlang thought about the suffering he had endured over the years. He was an outsider who had lost his father and had no relatives or friends to rely on in Xinpu Town. It was easy to imagine how difficult life was for them as an orphan and a widow, struggling to support themselves.

"Laizi, don't let your imagination run wild. You are awesome. I, Li Erlang, admire very few people in my life, and you are one of them!"

Lai Zi's mouth twitched and he said, "Since you admire me so much, why not give me your waist ornament?"

"This..." Li Erlang subconsciously covered the tassel around his waist with his hands, his eyes full of confusion.

"Hahaha!" Lai Zi suddenly laughed out loud, "I was just teasing you! I told you not to be unhappy with me these past few days! You're a man who values ​​women over friends!"

"Haha!" Li Erlang and the others also laughed. "I feel relieved to see that you can still joke. But don't talk nonsense. I don't know what you are talking about, 'I value women over friends.'"

Lai Zi rolled his eyes at him and said, "Of course I'm fine. What kind of person is Chen Tianshun? Is he worthy of my grief for him?"

Boss Li patted Lai Zi on the shoulder and said, "Good brother, I, Li Yanshou, have recognized you as my brother."

Li Yuer interrupted them helplessly. If they were not stopped, they would all become the three sworn brothers in Peach Garden.

"It's great that the evildoer has been punished. Everyone has worked hard these days. Why don't we take this opportunity to hold a staff dinner today?"

"What is a staff dinner?" Li Dalang asked curiously.

Li Yuer explained: "It's when all the employees of our stall get together and have a meal together to reward everyone for a job well done, and at the same time to motivate everyone to keep up the good work in the future. Of course, the money for the employee dinner comes from the stall's public account."

Li Erlang said happily: "That's great! But Shitou and the others are still at the dock, and Sister Mei'er is still at home."

Li Laosan said, "I will drive the donkey cart to pick them up. I will ask the village head's wife, Uncle Jiu, to cook lunch at the dock and pay her ten cents."

Li Laosan immediately went to the town's carriage and horse storage office to pick up the car and started picking up people.

When leaving the gate of the county government office, Li Yuer saw many victims sitting at the gate of the government office crying, slapping their thighs and saying that they should not have believed the nonsense of the witch Ma, and that they were bewitched and that was why they sent their daughter away.

Listening to their sad cries, Li Yuer felt sad and a little hateful towards them.

If their feelings were deep, and if they didn't favor boys over girls, how could they be easily fooled?

Fortunately, her family treated her very well. Even when her father broke his leg and her mother had difficulty giving birth, her family did not think of selling their daughter. In the end, they decided to sell the boat which was their livelihood.

Li Yuer made a big investment and booked a private room in Nongchao Tower. Lai Fu was now the accountant, and they also knew the new manager. Knowing their relationship with Young Master Jing, the manager gave them a 20% discount.

However, even so, this meal cost ten taels of silver, and they had not ordered those particularly expensive dishes and drinks, and the tea was delivered by Lai Fu.

Shitou sat on the solid wood carved chair, not daring to sit all the way.

"This meal costs ten taels. My goodness! It's worth two lives of mine."

At the beginning, Shitou's father and stepmother sold the stone to the mine for just five taels, and basically, none of the stones that were sold in came out.

"Snapped!"

Li Laosan knocked him on the head and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? You have saved more than five taels of silver now. Your life is your own, it is priceless and does not need to be measured by others."

Because they opened two stalls, Li Yuer raised their wages to fifty cents a day. Shitou and his friends often went fishing, and they had to work overtime a lot recently, so their wages were doubled. Shitou not only paid back the five taels of redemption money, but also saved a lot of money.

But people are used to being poor, and their consumption concept cannot be changed in a short time.

Jia Que'er tasted the golden abalone and whispered, "It's not that good, not as good as our braised seafood."

Li Laosan picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork for him with chopsticks and said, "I am impressed by you. You come here and order seafood? Eating meat, eating meat is the main point."

Jia Queer tasted a bite of the sweet and sour pork, which was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. "It's delicious. We ordered a plate of seafood to see how the seafood in Nongchaolou compares to ours."

Li Erlang smiled and said, "Now you know, it's just like that."

"That's right." Jia Que'er said, "It's definitely not as good as ours, and it's so expensive. The ladies at the market still say our seafood is expensive. We should really let them spend a few hundred coins to try this dish, then they will know that our food is cheap and delicious."

In the end, all the dishes were eaten up, except for the golden abalone, which had a lot left.

"Package?" asked Shi Tou.

Li Yuer smiled and said, "There are only a few abalones left to pack. Besides, will you guys eat them after we pack them up?"

Big Head touched his round belly and said, "I can't eat any more."

"I can't eat anymore either."

So they paid the bill and left.

The waiter who cleared the table was surprised to see that there were still some golden abalones left. Golden abalone is the signature dish of their restaurant. There are six abalones in a plate, and after each customer eats one, there is basically nothing left.

The owner of Nongchaolou was kind-hearted. The waiters could keep the leftover food from the guests for themselves, and the leftovers would be shared with beggars in the town.

The guy happily kept the abalone. He hadn't eaten golden abalone for a long time. There were four left, just enough for each member of his family.
