Seeing that Yang Ruoqing, who had always been so amiable, smiled as calm as a breeze, and paid the purchase price without saying a word, Boss Wang thought that Yang Ruoqing was a woman and easy to talk to.

But unexpectedly, seeing her indifferent eyes mixed with sullenness and her firm refusal attitude, Boss Wang suddenly panicked.

He quickly bent over and offered Yang Ruoqing's hands, apologized, and said nice things.

"My boss, you are a living Bodhisattva. Please have mercy on me. I am old and young. It is not easy to run a business to support my family..."

"If I had known this today, why did I do it in the first place?" Yang Ruoqing glanced at Boss Wang and said calmly.

"Let's go. Once I have decided, there will be no change. Don't waste each other's words and tear up the last face." She said coldly.

Then he turned around, clasping his hands behind his back, not wanting to look anymore.

Boss Wang stared blankly at Yang Ruoqing's back. She was obviously a thin but graceful woman, but why did he feel a strong sense of oppression?

He felt that he had really drifted and gone blind before, and he dared to despise this female boss.

If such a big and stable business is gone, the future will not be easy.

Boss Wang's knees went weak, and he wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy, making a final struggle.

Chef Zhou had already grabbed him first, "Don't do this. You must not anger our boss girl. We will hold you responsible for adulterating bad rice later. Why don't you leave quickly?"

Boss Wang was so frightened that he trembled all over.

Chef Zhou directly stuffed all the money that had been packaged on the table into Boss Wang's arms, "Let's go, let's take your money and I'll take you out!"

When they arrived at the door of the restaurant, Boss Wang took out a silver coin and stuffed it into Chef Zhou's hand.

"Lao Zhou, we are old acquaintances. You can at least say a few words to me. This business really cannot be lost..."

Boss Wang pulled Chef Zhou into a nearby alley and begged pitifully.

Chef Zhou glanced at the ingot of silver stuffed in his palm, with a strange smile on his face.

Boss Wang paid close attention to the changes in Chef Zhou's expression, gritted his teeth, and added another ingot of silver.

This ingot of silver is five taels, and two ingots are ten taels.

He inquired and found out that Chef Zhou's monthly salary was only three taels or less.

These ten taels of silver are enough for him to work hard for three months. Boss Wang doesn't believe that Chef Zhou is not interested.

Therefore, he continued to increase his verbal offensive.

"Old Zhou, you are the right person around my boss. One sentence you say is worth ten words I say."

"We are all from the same town and are familiar with each other. Please help me keep this deal. I will never forget your kindness in the future!"

Chef Zhou raised his eyelids and looked at Boss Wang who was smiling obsequiously in front of him, "Some things cannot be bought with money. They are the bottom line of a person's life and the principles of doing things!"

He threw the two ingots of silver back into Boss Wang's hand, "Take your money and leave quickly. No wonder you were tricked by Yang Huaming. You are also a person with evil intentions in the first place. You are from the same group!"

Boss Wang was stunned for a moment, and then showed a somewhat sarcastic sneer.

"Lao Zhou, I really don't understand why you are so upset?" he asked.

"Even if you work here for the rest of your life, his surname in Tianxianglou is not Yang, but your surname is Zhou?"

"You're just an old guy in this restaurant. How come you can't get along with money like this?"

Boss Wang shook the two ingots of silver in his hand again, trying to make a final win over.

For the first time, Chef Zhou did not get angry. Instead, he took a deep breath and said to Boss Wang:

"Everything you said is correct. I am indeed just an old guy in the restaurant. The restaurant belongs to the girl who owns it. I am just paid to work as a errand."

"However, from the first day Tianxiang Tower was established in Qingshui Town, from the decoration of the shop to the recruitment of waiters to the research of dishes, I, Old Zhou, have been involved."

"My hostess is kind to me, trusts me, and leaves the entire kitchen to me. I can't live up to her trust."

"Take your money and go, so you can take care of yourself in the future!"

After saying these words, Chef Zhou returned to the restaurant without looking back.

Boss Wang looked at Chef Zhou's back as he entered the restaurant, and stamped his feet angrily. Finally, he looked up at the three gilded characters on the lintel, sighed, and turned around in frustration.

Chef Zhou returned to the elegant room in the backyard of the restaurant. Mr. Zhang, who managed the finances, had left. Yang Ruoqing was sitting at the table drinking tea alone.

There were two notes in her hand.

Seeing Chef Zhou come in, Yang Ruoqing pushed the two notes in front of him.

"One is an IOU from my fourth uncle to Boss Wang, and the other is the stub that Mr. Zhang left earlier," she said.

Chef Zhou looked at the two notes in his hand and his face turned black with anger.

"Obviously, your fourth uncle has already withdrawn one hundred taels of silver from the accountant to buy rice and grain. Why are you still in arrears with Boss Wang? It's so embarrassing, my boss, that you paid twice for one batch of grain. This, this...

"

Yang Ruoqing handed over a bowl of tea to Chef Zhou, "Uncle Zhou, have a sip of tea to calm down."

Chef Zhou took a sip of tea, but still couldn't get rid of his anger.

"My boss girl, how should we deal with this matter?" he asked cautiously.

Obviously, the boss girl's fourth uncle did this behind the boss girl's back. The boss girl must be in a very bad mood now.

Yang Ruoqing played with the tea bowl in her hand, "The first thing is to replace all the rice in the warehouse. Yellowed rice, moldy rice, even if it is 10% or 20%, must not be mixed into the rice cooker for customers to eat,"

"Diseases enter through the mouth. It's a taboo for us to open our doors for business and catering," she said.

Chef Zhou nodded: "It is not difficult to change the warehouse from bottom to top, but the problem is, if this rice is replaced, how will the rice supply of our restaurant and the county restaurant be adjusted?"

Yang Ruoqing said: "My father's two new crops of rice harvested this year are still in the granary. I will go and get them out later. It will last for two or three months. It will be no problem."

"During this period, I will find a reliable rice and grain partner to replace Boss Wang," she said.

Chef Zhou absolutely believes in Yang Ruoqing's ability to do things.

"Okay, I'll give the order later. In view of the impact of this matter, I will change it quietly to avoid any gossip outside," he said.

Yang Ruoqing smiled and nodded, "Uncle Zhou is thoughtful."

Chef Zhou asked again: "What should I do with the rice that I replaced? It would be a shame to throw it away. Eighty-nine percent of it is good rice."

Yang Ruoqing thought for a moment and said: "Keep it first, I will use it for myself."

They were sold to Zhou Wang and Xiaohuan at a low price to feed the chickens in the chicken farm, and some were used for fermentation and as bait for Blacksmith Luo's fish pond.
