Chapter 108 Uncle Chen Yonghe!
The next day, Chen Le arrived at the restaurant entrance.
Then I saw Brother Erniu and his wife busy doing things.
The entrance has also been rearranged, filled with various flower gift boxes.
People came and went in an endless stream, and many relatives from Chenjiagou also came.
I asked around and found out they were all there to help out.
After all, Chen Tieniu couldn't afford to pay salaries for the time being.
When they saw Chen Le, Chen Tieniu and Li Hong hurriedly and warmly greeted him.
"Ah Le, you've finally arrived!"
"If you hadn't come to the ribbon-cutting ceremony today, I was planning to postpone the opening until tomorrow!!"
Chen Tieniu grabbed Chen Le, his face beaming with joy.
People are happy when they are happy.
At this moment, Chen Tieniu was beaming with joy.
She also gained a lot more confidence.
However, he knew that all of this was given to him by Chen Le.
Chen Le knows how to repay kindness, and Chen Tieniu is no less grateful!
Li Hong patted Chen Le's shoulder with a doting expression and said.
"Ah Le, your sister-in-law made your favorite braised tofu and also brought you some pickled vegetables. I knew you loved this, so go and eat!"
Chen Le grinned and said, "My sister-in-law knows how to care for me. Look at my brother Erniu, I was only a little late and he's already upset."
The next second, Chen Tieniu laughed and scolded, "You're always just being cheeky. Hurry up and go eat, or you'll starve yourself."
And so, the three of them walked into the restaurant in high spirits.
Chen Le ate while looking around.
I saw that the employees were all undergoing training.
Many girls from Chenjiagou also came here to work.
Erniu kept everything simple. Although he seemed a bit nervous, it was clear that he had done a lot of preparation the night before and had the air of a restaurant owner.
All of this made Chen Le feel much more at ease.
at this time.
A middle-aged man walked in.
Upon closer inspection, the man appeared to be in his fifties or sixties, with dark skin, covered in mud, wearing camouflage clothing for farm work, and even rubber shoes.
Chen Le frowned slightly.
A fishmonger in the market?
What are we doing here?
Upon seeing the man, Chen Tieniu quickly limped over to him.
"Second Uncle, has the 100 jin of river seafood been delivered?"
"We're opening soon, so please don't run out of stock!"
Chen Tieniu nervously gave instructions, then turned to Chen Le and introduced, "Le, this is my second uncle, Chen Yonghe. He lives in Dashu Village and raises river fish!"
Chen Le had a general idea of what was going on.
He remembered Dashu Village; it was located in the suburbs of Tianzhou.
Those areas are all reservoirs, perfect for raising freshwater fish.
This small village, through its own efforts, actually supplies most of the river seafood market in the entire Tianzhou!
Chen Le thought of the previous strategic plans and his mind was suddenly moved.
Acquiring the aquaculture reservoir in Dashu Village is much easier now than before!
However, we should still test the waters.
"Hello, Second Uncle! Do you still remember me?"
Chen Le greeted him with a smile.
Chen Yonghe turned his head and saw a young man standing in front of him.
Dressed casually, he looked tall and handsome.
I couldn't help but rub my eyes and asked curiously, "You are...?"
"I am Chen Le!"
Chen Le quickly replied, "I used to go to Uncle's Village a lot when I was a kid!"
"Haha, it's you, Little Lezi!"
"Now that you mention it, I remember!"
"Back in Chenjiagou, you were just a naked kid, chasing after my oxcart every day, setting off firecrackers to smear cow dung all over your face! You were such a troublemaker!!"
Chen Yonghe exposed Chen Le's true colors right to his face.
The couple, Chen Tieniu and his wife, laughed so hard they couldn't straighten up.
"Second Uncle, I'm all grown up now, can you please stop bringing up embarrassing things from when I was little!"
Chen Le blushed and scratched his head in embarrassment.
However, thinking back to his childhood, he also felt a sense of warmth.
Although we don't keep in touch much, Chen Yonghe is still a senior figure to us!
"Alright, alright, I won't say anymore. What have you been busy with lately? Why are you messing around with Erniu?"
Chen Yonghe said with a smile, and then glared at Erniu, "Erniu, you little rascal, how could you still fool your second uncle?"
"You're ordering 100 jin (50 catties) of fresh river seafood all the time? How much does your little restaurant charge for that?!"
"You're really being arrogant. Don't let this get stuck in your hands. I only gave you thirty pounds. It's on the truck. I'll unload it in a bit. Let me rest for a bit first..."
As he spoke, Chen Yonghe sat down on the ground and began to pant.
It was obvious that he had been busy all morning and was exhausted.
Chen Tieniu quickly helped Chen Yonghe sit down in a chair, patting his chest with a grin and saying, "Second Uncle, let alone 100 jin of river delicacies, even 200 jin would be useful!"
His face was filled with a happy smile.
His small restaurant used to receive 20 to 30 kilograms of fresh river seafood every day, but he couldn't sell it all.
There's not much I can do to help.
But it is different now.
With this Ruyi Restaurant, business is booming. Although river seafood dishes are not popular, they can still be sold by lowering the price. Selling 100 jin a day is not a problem.
As they spoke, they winked at Chen Le, exchanging a secret signal.
The meaning is clear: to give Uncle a surprise.
Chen Le was both amused and exasperated, and chose to remain a bystander.
"What!?"
Chen Yonghe was so startled he almost jumped up. He quickly asked, "Tie Niu, what's going on? Your little restaurant is almost going to go out of business, and you're still behind on the rent. Why do you suddenly want so many river delicacies?"
After a quick assessment, a conclusion was reached instantly.
He reached out and grabbed Chen Tieniu's ear.
He twisted it hard and yelled, "What's going on? Have you gone astray? Are you trying to ruin freshwater fish? Are you trying to do some kind of marketing campaign like short videos, giving everything away for free?!"
"Losing grain prices hurts farmers; isn't this just wasting the fruits of the fishermen's labor?"
"puff……"
Chen Le chuckled as he read it.
Brother Erniu, oh Brother Erniu.
Serves you right for hiding things!
"Ah, it hurts..."
"Second Uncle, let go! Let me explain!"
Chen Tieniu was in so much pain he almost fainted, so he quickly explained, "There's some great news I didn't tell you last night. I was thinking of giving you a surprise when you came over!"
To my surprise, my second uncle got angry and huffed, "What surprise? Tell me!"
Chen Tieniu grinned and said in a mournful voice, "See this restaurant? It's mine and Ah Le's now!"
"You came in such a hurry, you probably didn't see the sign!"
"Doesn't it say 'Ruyi Restaurant' up there?"
"It was just my little restaurant, and now it's become a big hotel!"
Chen Yonghe was stunned, filled with suspicion.
I only remembered it when it was mentioned.
Isn't this Juxianju?
It's a restaurant that's quite well-known far and wide.
I thought Erniu was here to apply for a cook job.
How did Juxianju become Ruyi Restaurant in the blink of an eye?
Chen Yonghe let go of his ears, lingered at the shop entrance, and then was dumbfounded.
