Chapter 48 - She Is So Different
Little Shi , was what manager Wang named the server? boy? even? though there was? nothing little about? him anymore? , Manager Wang? who had no family and adopted Little Shi ( Xiaoshi) and Little? Coa( Xiaocao ) still liked to call them Little Shi and Little Cao . As per Little shi 's report , eat delicious? was once a famous restaurant? at the dock but then more and more? people started? selling food and opened up stalls and restaurants.? The food in 'eat delicious? ' wasn't? anything special nor did it had any secret ingredients? either? , so it was really easy for their competitors? to recreate? the taste of their signature? dishes , the competing restaurants? even? modified the dishes so that it tasted? better than theirs .
Manager Wang? brought up this matter many times in front of Su Bai , but Su Bai was only interested in counting the silver taels? and nothing? more .? A lazy ,? good for nothing? like him - will he ever work hard and try to think of new ways to sell the? restaurant's? dishes ? Of course not . In the end not only did Su Bai admonished? manager Wang? for being an useless old man , he also scolded the chefs? of the restaurant? for not doing their? job? properly.
While scolding Su Bai went too far and ended up offending? the Shen family 's chefs completely? , the old chefs who were responsible? for their signature? authentic dishes quitted? at once . Manager Wang? tried? to stop them but Su Bai who was drunk? on the success of becoming a rich land lord? in his village? stopped? manager Wang? and insulted the old chefs saying that the old chefs were worth nothing? and his family's? restaurant? would be fine without them . After? that Su Bai kicked those? old chefs without? giving them a single? coin and hired? a cutting edge type of chefs whose cooking was so bad that even? Little shi? and his brother? couldn't? eat it much less their customers .
After listening to Little shi 's report? Su Wan? clicked? her tongue in discontent . If she wasn't worried about being thrown? into jail , she would have beaten Su Bai so badly that even? his mum would refuse to acknowledge? him as her son .
That idiot? not only offended? those skilled old chefs he also made this restaurant? lose its integrity? . Even? if she introduced? a new signature? dish? now , what was the point? if there wasn't? even a single customer? to test that dish out. ?
" Su Bai did that ?" asked Lin Yan just like Su Wan he really wasn't? fond of this? father? in law of his not to mention , their family 'brought ' Su Wan? instead? of just marrying her.? The day when they paid ten silver taels to the Su family? , Su Wan? was no longer related to the? Su family anymore .
Little shi? nodded , looking extremely pitiful as he unhappily? sighed " we don't? even have much money? to buy cooking ingredients? , those chefs? that master hired also? left when we couldn't? pay? them their salary . Now its only me , my brother? and? manager Wang? - we are already like this but? the Su family? still took away a major? of our earnings today "
'The Su family? again !' Bristled Su Wan? angrily? ,The Su family? had? really refreshed? her three point of views - its not even noon yet the Su family? sent their servants? to snatch? the earnings from? the original owner's? shops……Were they worried? that she would come and claim it before them or they just couldn't? sit still because she took the ten silver taels from them yesterday? ? Su Wan? bit her bottom lip in frustration? , if she knew that the Su family? would be so fast she would have? been? faster than them !
" What master ? Don't? call that shameless family masters anymore? " slapping her thigh Su Wan? lightly chided Little shi? " I no longer have any relations with them and now that my relations? are severed with them , they have no right to interfere? in my mother's? dowry shops? . The next time they send their servants? to collect money? , you better? beat those servants? until their masters could feel the burn of getting slapped on their? thick faces !"
" I understand? ! " Little shi? who was bullied? under the Su family? for so many years agreed at once , his dark eyes lit up? with hope for future? but then a second later that light? vanished and his? hopeful expression? dropped? .
" wh……at's? w……rong? ?" asked Lin Yu when he saw? little shi? drooping and wilting? like a weak flower? in heavy rain .
" Our restaurant 's? is already facing? bankruptcy? , even? if the Su family? comes we won't? have to work so hard to protect our? earnings? because there won't? me any earnings? at all ! Aye , its already the second? day of the month and we had no customer? today? either? "
" Just? this ?" snorted Su Wan? as she confidently? leaned back on her chair " who says there won't? be an earnings? if you follow me , I promise I will? make this restaurant? hustle and bustle like before "
Little Shi was already? Su Wan's? little fan the moment she gallantly stepped in the fight? and saved manager Wang? from getting killed ( Su Wan? : I didn't? )? and now that he heard her say that she will make the restaurant? booming once? again , he couldn't? help but look at Su Wan? with a worshipping? gaze .
Su Wan who? received? the worshipful gaze couldn't? help but shiver , what - what ? Why was this little boy was looking at her like she was just skinny dipped in gold and came out looking like a golden midas statue ?
" Cough " Lin Yan? who noticed? Little shi? looking at Su Wan? a bit frantically coughed? but even then Little shi? didn't? look away? instead he was still? staring at Su Wan? with a burning gaze .? Instantly? ; Lin Yan 's feathers puffed out like an angry chicken , if only he had a sharp beak , he? would have pecked this shameless? boy to death !
( Little shi? : I'm? innocent ! I'm? wronged ! I just think Miss Su is dashing and cool )
" ahem " Su Wan? noticed? her husbands? angry and flustered expressions and coughed then she cleared? her throat and started ordering people around , whatever? just? make them busy? enough that they? couldn't? think of anything else " Little shi go and set up the small stall in front of our restaurant, Ah Yan take out the fish meat and bread crumbs and start cooking , Jing ge - you are responsible? for wafting the smell of the cooked food with? a paper fan , as for Ah Yu and Ah Rui? you two are responsible for attracting customers? and collecting? money "
The Lin brothers? who were ordered around? didn't? even blink before diving? right into action the only? person? who stupefied was Little shi , this - this …… what was this? The wife was sitting? calmly inside while munching on melon seeds while the husbands? follow their? wife's? orders like? trained dogs ?
Seeing little shi standing? in shock , Su Wan? raised a brow " what ? you want me to work ? I didn't? marry five? husbands so that I will run around? flying on my foot , I married them because I wanted a comfortable? life "
'Aren't? you a bit too comfortable ?' mused Little shi? blinking? his eyes? in confusion ; generally? when a woman became a shared? wife she? was no different? than a slave but his mistress was clearly different? ! Not only did she lazed around , she also ordered? her husbands around , sure? enough? his mistress was? no simple lady !
