Strange Chef

Chapter 5: Young Master trio

“No one in my family has anorexia. But my grandpa has a stomach problem and doesn't want to eat.” No matter who it is, there is always a reason for spending ten thousand yuan on a meal.

Bai Lu was typically the type who yielded to softness but not to hardness. Seeing Gao Yuan like this, he was a bit hesitant.

Just at this moment, three young men strolled over from the left side of the road. Wearing white vests, with short hair and tattoos on their bodies.

They first walked into the steamed bun shop. After a moment, the boss's loud voice came out. “As long as the Five-Star Grand Hotel pays, we'll pay immediately.”

Hearing this sentence, Bai Lu and Gao Yuan looked over at the same time. Both were a bit puzzled.

The three men in white vests came out of the steamed bun shop and pushed open the door of the Five-Star Grand Hotel. “Who is the boss?”

Bai Lu coughed by the roadside. “I am.”

“Well, starting from this month, the market management fee will be collected by us. Your store is so big. Let's calculate less. A thousand yuan a month. Pay up.” The one who spoke was a bald guy. His head was shaved shiny. Different from Bai Lu's baldness. Bai Lu had a head of stubble and looked very much like someone who had been in prison or reform-through-labor.

“Are you guys from the underworld?” Bai Lu asked with a smile.

“What nonsense? Hurry up and pay. Otherwise, we won't be responsible for anything that happens.”

“Get out of here quickly!” Bai Lu laughed. At the same time, Gao Yuan shouted loudly. “Get out of here quickly.”

Bai Lu looked at him in doubt. Gao Yuan said, “I'll solve this matter for you. You make food for me.”

Seeing this guy keep giving in, Bai Lu was a bit at a loss. Did he have to break the rules just after opening?

When the three men in white vests heard them scolding, they all chuckled at the same time. It was as if they had heard some joke. After laughing for a long time, the bald guy said, “Very good. I hope you still don't pay tomorrow.” After saying that, he turned and left. He didn't collect fees from other stores either.

Gao Yuan said, “These guys are going to cause trouble. Still the same sentence. You make food for me. I'll solve them for you.”

Gao Yuan's actions confused Bai Lu. How many personalities did this guy have? On one side, he was a proud, selfish, and cold rich and handsome guy. On the other side, he was a filial child who cared about his family. It was really too schizophrenic.

After thinking for a while, he sighed and said, “I can't break the rules, so I won't sell...”

“What did you say?” Gao Yuan was furious. It was completely different from his earlier stance of being in the same camp and there was no more of the soft and gentle tone from before.

“...What's the rush? I haven't finished yet. You have to change your temper. Otherwise, you will definitely suffer losses. I'm only giving you a few words of advice because you are young...”

“What the hell are you talking about? Believe it or not, I'll tear down your store?” Gao Yuan rolled up his sleeves as if he wanted to start a fight, but unfortunately, his short-sleeved shirt had no sleeves.

“I just said you have a violent temper. Look, look, and you still want to start a fight? Why can't you listen to people? I mean I won't sell you food, but I can give you a portion.” Feeling that this guy wasn't bad, Bai Lu didn't care about his rudeness.

“What? Are you crazy? Just now you extorted ten thousand yuan from me, and now you give it as a gift?”

“You are the one who is crazy.” Bai Lu confirmed that this guy was a typical brainless rich second generation. Fortunately, his heart wasn't too bad.

“Stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and cook for me.”

Bai Lu shook his head and walked into the restaurant. “What should I do if there are no lunch boxes?”

Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment. “What kind of restaurant is this? There are no lunch boxes?”

“No.” A voice came from the kitchen.

Gao Yuan had no choice but to drive out to buy lunch boxes.

When he came back, he saw only a large bowl of soup on the table. He was furious. “Are you kidding me? You just give me a bowl of soup? I bought five lunch boxes. And you give me just a bowl of soup?” As he spoke, he threw five insulated lunch boxes on the table.

“You, ah. Sigh. Haven't you been beaten a lot usually?”

“Who dares to beat me?”

“Your father.”

“How do you know... Stop talking nonsense. Why is there only one bowl of soup?”

“Just take it back. Let your grandpa drink three small bowls. Don't use a large bowl. Give the rest to others to drink. Don't keep it until tomorrow.” He opened the largest insulated lunch box, went to the kitchen to clean it, brought it back and poured the soup. “Take it away. I'll count to ten. If you don't leave, I won't even give you this bowl of soup.”

Gao Yuan was so angry that he had no choice. He was having an intense internal struggle. Anyway, getting a bowl of soup was better than nothing. He shouted, “You wait.” Then he took the insulated lunch box and left.

“Do you want these lunch boxes?” Bai Lu asked.

Gao Yuan didn't reply at all. He angrily rushed out of the restaurant and drove away.

“This guy really can't take a joke.” Bai Lu put away the other four lunch boxes. Just at this moment, a white van drove over on the street. The doors and windows were all open. Four plastic bags were quickly thrown out. Then the van left.

The plastic bags hit the door and the wall and burst open with a loud noise. Immediately, the smell of feces and urine filled the street.

Bai Lu came out to look. “This is interesting.” He went back inside, connected a water hose, and flushed the door and the wall vigorously. He sent all this fertilizer into the sewer.

The owners of several nearby shops came out to look. The boss of the steamed bun shop was named Li Huang. He asked Bai Lu, “What should we do?”

“What should we do about what?” Bai Lu didn't understand.

Li Huang said, “We rent your house. You have to settle this matter for us. You can't affect our business.”

“What? This house belongs to my second uncle?”

Li Huang nodded. “In the past, your second uncle would solve this kind of thing. I guess these guys are new here and don't know your second uncle. That's why they dare to make trouble.”

“Is my second uncle quite famous?” Could it be that that crazy guy is very powerful? It's hard to tell.

“Your second uncle has the nickname Xiao Wang. This is Xiaowangcun Road. Do you think he is famous?”

This is quite interesting. Bai Lu stroked his chin and asked, “How did my second uncle solve these things?”

“I don't know. Anyway, you have to quickly deal with those people. You can't affect our business.” The boss of the steamed bun shop said.

The boss of the pulled noodles shop echoed, “That's right.”

Wang Ruomei came over. “Call your second uncle.”

Looking at this very charming middle-aged woman. “Are you also renting a house from my second uncle?” He had always thought that his second uncle was a poor devil. Unexpectedly, he was actually a landlord.

Wang Ruomei didn't answer the question. “Just make the call.”

Bai Lu was a bit depressed. Did this woman take him as his second aunt? Thinking for a moment, he asked, “Isn't calling the police okay?”

Speak of the devil. Policewoman Sun Min in civilian clothes passed by here. Seeing several people gathered together and discussing animatedly, and the road was all wet. She came over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Bai Lu raised his hand and said, "Police sister, I'm reporting a crime. Someone threw dung in front of my house."

"Have you offended someone just after coming to Beicheng?" For some reason, Sun Min felt uncomfortable when she saw Bai Lu.

"No way. It's the underworld collecting protection fees. I didn't give it."

"Nonsense! How can there be underworld in the capital?" Sun Min glared angrily.

Well, it's impossible to reason with you. Bai Lu simply stopped talking and took a broom to sweep the water. "Make way."

"What's wrong with you? I'm asking you a question." Sun Min had a big temper.

Bai Lu ignored him and muttered softly, "I met two ancestors today." One was Sun Min and the other was Gao Yuan.

"What are you talking about? Looking for trouble, aren't you? Identity card!" Sun Min suddenly realized that this guy had a suspicious air. No wonder she felt uncomfortable looking at him.

The boss of the steamed bun shop was a bit confused. "Xiao Sun, others are making trouble. Why are you checking him?"

"It's no harm to check more."

Bai Lu had to go back to the room to get his identity card. Sun Min took it. "Have you applied for a temporary residence permit?"

"Fairy sister, I've only been here for three days!" Bai Lu was a bit angry.

"You're lying! Clearly it's four days!" Four days ago, Bai Lu asked Sun Min for directions.

Okay, you win. This damn girl has a good memory. Bai Lu remained silent.

"If you are here for tourism or visiting relatives, just stay put and don't cause trouble. If you are staying for a long time, take relevant certificates to apply for a temporary residence permit."

"What are relevant certificates?" Bai Lu asked.

But Sun Min ignored him. She put down the identity card and turned around and left.

Damn it. In the desert, I would definitely deal with this damn girl properly. Bai Lu was very angry.

Li Huang was a bit confused and asked Bai Lu, "Did you offend her?"

"Why would I offend her?"

"Then why is she treating you like this? This girl is usually very nice. She has a good heart and is kind. Not to mention she is good at work and beautiful, and she doesn't have a boyfriend yet..." Li Huang advertised for Sun Min. Wang Ruomei and others agreed.

Bai Lu was speechless. "Your requirements for being good are too low." He continued to sweep the water.
