Chapter 137 Inviting Master Quan Two days later, Zhou Yimin returned to the city early and went to the courtyard next door to look for Master Quan. I have to find a chef for my grandmother's 60th birthday. If the current environment doesn't allow for a big celebration, I would definitely prepare a good one. This time I plan to set up a few tables in the village and just celebrate. After a moment, he walked to Master Quan's door. He is now a famous person on the whole street. Many people know him, not to mention the yard next door, so he was not stopped from entering and leaving. Instead, people greeted him one after another. Zhou Yimin knocked on the door and said loudly, "Master Quan, are you home?" The door opened and a little kid walked out, asking, "Big brother, why are you looking for my dad?" Zhou Yimin said, "Little boy, is your father home?" After saying that, he took out a handful of White Rabbit milk candies from his pocket and shook them in front of the child. This trick works every time on children. The child saw the candy in Zhou Yimin's hand and his eyes were immediately attracted. You know, since he was a child, he could only eat candy during the Chinese New Year, but he had never eaten White Rabbit milk candy. He quickly turned around and ran inside: "Dad! Someone is looking for you." Zhou Yimin had no choice but to put the candy back into his pocket before taking it out.
Then, a middle-aged man came out. It was Master Quan. When he saw Zhou Yimin, he asked enthusiastically, "Yimin, how come you have time to come to see me today?" You have to know that Zhou Yimin is famous for his generosity. If we can establish a good relationship with him, he will be able to help us if we need anything in the future. Zhou Yimin said, "Master Quan, my grandmother is about to celebrate her 60th birthday. I plan to set up a few tables in the village and would like to ask you to help cook. Do you have time?" When Master Quan heard this, he thought this was a good opportunity to get closer to them, so he certainly couldn't miss it. Even if he wasn't free, he had to say he was free: "I've been quite free lately. How many tables do you want to set up? I might want to bring one or two helpers with me then?" After all, I am a master chef. It is impossible for me to do everything by myself. Things like cutting and washing vegetables must be left to my apprentice or the kitchen helper. "No problem. I wonder if Chef Quan has any menu recommendations?" Zhou Yimin asked. I am not familiar with this area, so I should leave professional matters to professionals. It mainly depends on what the chef’s specialty is. Chef Quan was not sure about Zhou Yimin's ability, so he thought for a while and said, "Three fresh vegetables, braised pork, steamed fish, stir-fried beef and a birthday bun? Take a look at these dishes, what do you think?" If it were someone else, I wouldn't dare to order these dishes. Basically, except for one vegetarian dish which is vegetables, the other three are meat. Meat is so scarce now, so if there is meat, I will definitely keep it for myself to eat slowly. Zhou Yimin thought it was good, but added: "Let's add another dish! It's a good omen. I just got some prawns. How about adding another dish of braised prawns?" When Master Quan heard this, he was slightly shocked, thinking that he had overestimated Zhou Yimin's ability. Who knew that he had underestimated it after all? It seemed that he had to build a good relationship with him, so he agreed: "No problem, I'll follow your arrangements." Zhou Yimin said: "Then I'll trouble you, Master Quan." After saying that, he was ready to leave. At this time, the child was anxious. Didn’t you say you would give me White Rabbit Milk Candy? Why are you leaving now? Don’t you want to give it to me? He hurriedly reminded her, “Brother, didn’t you say you would give me White Rabbit Milk Candy?” Upon hearing this, Master Quan patted him on the head and said, "What did you say, you little bastard? How can you ask others for things?" He is a chef and his family has no shortage of food, but they don't have extra money to improve their lives. You know, the price of White Rabbit milk candy is about yuan per catty, and he only earns more than yuan a month. Zhou Yimin apologized: "I'm sorry, little boy. I forgot." Then, Zhou Yimin took out the White Rabbit milk candy from his trouser pocket and put it in the child's hand. Master Quan was shocked when he saw it. The handful Zhou Yimin grabbed was at least half a pound, worth at least one dollar. He said hurriedly, "Yimin, you gave too much. Just one or two to taste."
Zhou Yimin shook his head and smiled, "Master Quan, it's just some candy, given by a friend. I don't really eat candy myself." The little guy took the White Rabbit milk candy from Zhou Yimin's hand and couldn't wait to taste it. After Zhou Yimin gave him the candy, he didn’t stay any longer as he had other things to do! Master Quan sighed in his heart, no wonder so many people praised Yimin for his generosity. He then walked to his son, took all the White Rabbit candies from his son's hand, and said, "Children, you can't eat so much candy, it's easy to get cavities." After saying that, he ate one himself. It was indeed much better than the candies he usually bought, and it was also sweeter and had a milky flavor. No wonder they say three White Rabbit candies are equivalent to a cup of milk; it really is expensive for a reason. "Dad, this was given to me by my brother, you can't eat it." The little guy said anxiously. He only ate one, and there were only a dozen or so in total, which were not enough for him. He even wanted to take the candy back to school to show off and let them all know that he had eaten White Rabbit milk candy. Master Quan felt embarrassed immediately. He didn't expect that his son would be dissatisfied with him just after he ate one. If you don't beat him up, he'll become an ungrateful little wolf. So he immediately slapped his son on the butt. The little guy was immediately beaten and started crying. The crying was so loud that it attracted everyone else in the house. A woman saw her son being beaten and quickly stepped forward to defend him: "Lao Quan, stop beating him." Master Quan glared at his wife and said, "A loving mother often spoils her son. Look at what you've done to this brat. If he turns out to be an ungrateful person, I'll see how you'll end up." White-eyed wolf? The woman was stunned. How did he get involved in this ungrateful person? Master Quan told his wife what had just happened. After hearing it, not only did his wife take away the White Rabbit candies, she also beat her son. I can accept everything else, but I cannot accept an ungrateful person. You don't want to beat him, but keep him for the New Year? In the next street, there was a person who raised his child to be an ungrateful person. He sold all the valuable things in the house and finally abandoned his elderly and sick parents and ran away. In the end, the two old people died with regrets. Such examples serve as a great warning to people around us, as they are all afraid that such a thing will happen to themselves. The elderly in the family, seeing their son and daughter-in-law educating their grandson, did not intervene. They waited until the fight was over before coming out to act as good people and "saviors". They are not like some elderly people who would immediately come out to stop it when they see their grandchildren being beaten. As the older generation, they know one thing very well: Without beating, there will be no success! What child doesn’t get beaten? Isn’t that what everyone goes through? Thanks to brother cyndi1982 for the 100 reward! (End of this chapter)
