Chapter 213 Power
Chapter 213 Power
The seed of 'power' was planted in Tang Yichen's heart.
He didn't want to endure the despair of not being able to protect his family anymore.
He wants to become stronger and have the power to protect his family.
Tang Luwu was slightly injured, and not wanting to worry Tang Yixiao, she refused to go to his clinic to get medicine. Li Taohua took her to another pharmacy, and after getting the medicine, she returned to her sister's restaurant.
Qin Huiyin was going to prepare for the thank-you banquet later, so she took Song Ruize back home first. Tang Yichen and Tang Dafu came over to help.
It rained today, so we closed the store early and there were still a lot of ingredients left in the kitchen.
Qin Huiyin arranged today's dishes based on the available ingredients, and then prepared the oven so that they could grill some meat and eat it right away.
Song Ruize borrowed the waiter's bathroom to take a shower. He was also wearing the waiter's clothes. After all, it had rained so hard just now that his clothes were already soaked.
A waiter came over and handed him the new clothes in his hand: "This is the boss who asked me to buy it. Try it on. If it doesn't fit, I'll go get another set."
Song Ruize looked at Qin Huiyin who was busy in the kitchen and said to the waiter, "Okay, thank you."
"The boss wants to invite everyone who worked hard today to have some skewers. I called them, but they said they didn't dare to act without your permission." The waiter continued, "There are not many customers today, so there are a lot of ingredients left, and the soup base is ready. Master Song, why don't you tell them to come in for a simple meal?"
"Tell them I agree, and they'll be allowed in," Song Ruize said. "But make sure they behave themselves. If they don't, I'll throw them out myself."
The guy has already wiped a cold sweat for those little brothers.
The boss is so fierce, it's really hard for them to work under him. Unlike their boss, who smiles all day long and is so cute, working under her is really a pleasure.
Qin Huiyin was preparing a roast chicken. Li Taohua walked in and said, "There are twenty tables outside."
"Let them eat as much as they want. There's a lot of food left today, so take as much as they want." Qin Huiyin said, "Also tell the staff not to neglect them. Treat them like guests as usual."
Tang Luwu said: "Don't worry, they are all people who have helped me. I will definitely not let them suffer any injustice."
Although they also obeyed Song Ruize's orders, she survived the disaster today because everyone here contributed. In her opinion, they were all benefactors who needed to be grateful.
The beggars sat at eighteen tables, and Skinny Monkey and his brothers sat at two tables.
"Boss, you're really rude. Are you really letting these beggars eat the Qin family's daughter?" Scarface said, "We're doing business. These beggars sitting here are just insulting us."
"The beggars discovered the whereabouts of that little girl today. No matter what, they did something practical this time." Skinny Monkey said, "Also, I heard that the boss wanted to take in these beggars."
"What's the point of accepting them? They're just a bunch of old, weak, and sick people."
"Those who are strong can work with us, and the old, weak, and sick can be assigned other tasks. We have to trust the boss's brain; he will definitely not do business that loses money."
"I used to think Ze Ge was cold, but now I realize I misunderstood him. Even though he looks cold, he's actually very kind at heart."
The skinny monkey who had seen how Song Ruize tortured people to death: "..."
These brothers are still too naive.
But it doesn’t matter. After they follow Brother Ze for a long time, they will understand what it means to be a true person who hides his true identity.
"I, Skinny Monkey, only know that my good life today is because of Brother Ze. Brother Ze has done me a favor. From now on, if he tells me to go east, I will never go west. Even if he tells me to jump into the river, I will do it." Skinny Monkey said, "The same goes for you. If you want to quit, just say so openly. If anyone dares to stab me in the back, I will be the first one to not let him go."
"Brother Skinny Monkey, we will definitely listen to Brother Ze."
Captain Feng brought the yamen runners to the door.
Li Taohua personally greeted them and took them to the upstairs room.
Captain Feng and Song Ruize sat at the main table, along with the Tang family's hosts. His subordinates were seated at three separate tables.
Everyone else was seated, and the last two seats were reserved for Tang Lvwu and Qin Huiyin. Qin Huiyin was still preparing the last dish, while Tang Lvwu went downstairs to greet the others.
"Sister Luwu hasn't come up yet?"
"She said she'd go downstairs and be back soon," Li Taohua said. "Sit down and wait for her."
Qin Huiyin's gaze rested on the two empty seats.
One was next to Song Ruize and the other was next to Tang Yichen.
The two people are facing each other, looking close, but actually quite far away.
If she chose one, she would have to stay away from the other. In this situation, she didn't seem to have a choice. She couldn't let Tang Luwu sit next to Song Ruize, right?
She walked towards Song Ruize.
Although Tang Yichen had expected this result, he still felt a little disappointed.
He also knew that under such circumstances, Qin Huiyin would not leave the empty seat next to Song Ruize for Lvwu. Lvwu was timid, and the fact that she had the courage to thank Song Ruize was an improvement compared to before. Song Ruize was always cold to others, and if Lvwu sat next to him, she would probably not even be able to eat.
Tang Luwu came back and sat next to Tang Yichen.
"I haven't cooked for a long time since I opened this shop. You can try it and see how it tastes. If it's not well done, please give me some suggestions." Qin Huiyin greeted.
"We've seen the girl's cooking skills before, and the aroma is making us hungry." Captain Feng said, "Then I'll start eating."
Song Ruize poured wine for Captain Feng.
Captain Feng wanted to fill Song Ruize's glass, but he was given a look by him.
Captain Feng: “…”
This kid is quite good at pretending.
Tang Yichen poured himself a glass of wine and said to Captain Feng, "Thank you for what happened today, Captain Feng. As Lu Wu's elder brother, I'd like to offer you a glass of wine as a token of my sincerity."
"Then you have to thank this kid. He led people to rescue your sister."
"No need. I just don't want Yinyin to worry." Song Ruize said calmly, "She came out to look for you, got bumped into, fell in the rain, and had her purse stolen."
The last sentence was said to Tang Luwu.
Tang Luwu looked at Qin Huiyin with emotion: "Yinyin..."
"Stop." Qin Huiyin tried to stop Tang Luwu's tears. "Let's just celebrate today and stop saying those cheesy things. Brother Feng, when you're free, come over for a quick meal. I'll help you find a table. Also, this stove is for grilling meat. I'll make an example for everyone. After grilling, brush it with this sauce and then use a packet of green leaves. It's absolutely delicious."
Qin Huiyin was making delicious food, and Song Ruize stood up and rolled up her sleeves.
There were twelve dishes on the table: fish, chicken, shrimp, meat, and soup...
The most important thing is the function of this oven. It can not only grill meat, but also grill other ingredients later.
On a rainy day like this, a group of people gathered together to eat steaming hot food, chat and talk, and their bodies and minds felt warm.
"Why didn't Gong Qi come?" Li Taohua asked.
Tang Dafu said, "He was in a hurry to report back. When he saw that the people of Luwu were safe, he returned to the store and told me before he left."
