Lin Zu opened his eyes suddenly, the green tendons on his forehead protruded, and he glared at the shopkeeper angrily, and his hand was pinching his neck. "Get out! It's not your turn to take care of my business, and you don't deserve to comment on her. ”

"Lin Zu, let go!" Old Yang Tou heard the movement outside and hurriedly rushed in.

Lin Zu regained some of his senses after seeing the person who came, so he let go of the shopkeeper and lowered his head and gasped.

When Lao Yang saw that the shopkeeper was fine, he dragged Lin Zu's hair, forced him to raise his head, and slapped him hard. "He really can't control your business, but that woman, no matter who she is, can not only say but also scold, if he is willing to sleep!"

When Lin Zu heard this, he turned his head sharply and stared at Lao Yang with desperate eyes. "Why, you want to strangle me too? What did I say back then, tell you to stay away from her. If you don't listen, you'll have to ask for your own suffering! ”

Old Yang Tou picked up the shopkeeper, regardless of Lin Zu, who was sitting on the ground with no eyes in his eyes. "Let's go!"

Closing the door of the Lin family, Lao Yang Tou insisted on taking the shopkeeper to see the doctor.

"I really don't need it, you came in time, me! It's not a big deal, just drink some water and take a break and you'll be fine. ”

"Hey! Behold! You'd better give up on him and find someone else! The dishes given by the two couples are not bad, you can go to Nanyang City and find one with a slightly better craftsmanship, and you can do it. You can't sin here. ”

"Old Yangtou, you don't understand this! So that's it! You've been a chef all your life, you can't be a boss. ”

"Tell me, I don't understand anything?"

The two chatted and walked down the long alley. "Look! If I go to Nanyang City and find a random one, he will learn all these dishes in the future, and what if he is poached by that victory fasting again? ”

Lao Yang touched his beard and thought, and the shopkeeper continued: "But if I let Lin Zu regain his strength, it will be different." He remembers my kindness, and he won't betray the prayer tower for your sake, don't you say? ”

"Yes! You have a point. "But what the shopkeeper just said made Lao Yang Tou feel uncomfortable, so after saying this, he couldn't help but sour the shopkeeper." But you just said that I have been a chef all my life, so what's the matter? At least I'm just old and useless, look at you, you're in the prime of life! When a boss collapses the restaurant, you say, who is more useless! ”

"You..." Lao Yangtou's words can be described as hitting the nail on the head, and the shopkeeper was speechless for a while. Fortunately, the relationship between the two is good, and the shopkeeper didn't take it to heart, but he inevitably sighed.

"Yes! If I were really good, the prayer building wouldn't be like this, and my dad wouldn't be lying in bed. ”

"Okay, don't think about it, the first thing to do is to think about how to get my uncompetitive apprentice back on his feet."

"In his case, I am in this capacity, and it's not good to talk about it seriously, so I can only figure it out slowly, come back tomorrow!"

"Hmmm! Then I'll accompany you again tomorrow! ”

At noon the next day, the shopkeeper and Lao Yang Tou came to Lin's house again with food.

"Lin Zu, get over to Lao Tzu." Old Yang Tou pushed open the door and put the food on the table, then turned to stare at Lin Zu in the corner.

Lin Zu was drinking, holding a wine jug and ignoring what he said.

"Stinky boy, I can't call you anymore, can I?"

"Didn't you say you didn't have me as an apprentice? What am I doing... Hiccup~ Still listen to you. ”

Old Yang Tou was so angry that he took a broom from the courtyard and came in, pointed at Lin Zu and said, "If you don't get up again, believe it or not, I'll whip you?" ”

"Then you can smoke it!" looked like he was at his disposal, which made Lao Yang angry and had nowhere to go.

The shopkeeper pulled Lao Yang's head and said, "Okay, he won't eat, let's eat!" ”

"Humph!" Old Yang threw the broom on the ground and pried open the nailed window.

"You drink... Hiccup~ Just drink, why are you here with me, and pry me... Hiccup ~ window. Hmm~" Lin Zu hadn't seen the light for a long time, and as soon as the sun shone in, he narrowed his eyes and resisted weakly.

Lao Yang didn't care about him, still prying the nails, and muttered to himself: "Do you think Lao Tzu is willing to come to your ghost place to drink wine and eat meat!" Look at how I clean you up in the future, no big or small things. ”

The shopkeeper and Lao Yang opened the window, and the two sat in the house and began to drink and chat.

Lao Yang Tou started the topic first. "Hey! This prayer building is like this, and you don't plan to give up? ”

"I also gave up, at the beginning, I couldn't even find a chef, and I drank all day to escape, but how could I escape!"

"If you don't do it, you won't be so tired."

"There are some things that you can't just give up. You see, if I give up, my father will be sick, and the old guests will be gone, and there will be nothing. If I had persevered, I might not have gotten to this point. ”

"Take your time! If you don't want to give up, then maybe there is salvation. ”

"Yes! Fortunately, there is a turnaround. Back then, Deshengzhai poached all the cooks and threatened all the cooks in Yuyang County. Ay! I was really..."

The shopkeeper remembered all the things before, and couldn't help but pick up the wine glass, and after drinking, he continued: "Think about what a coward was like at the beginning! I was drunk day and night, and handed over the mess of the prayer building to my father. ”

"Speaking of which, you are really unfilial! At your father's age, you are struggling to support yourself, and you steal his money to buy alcohol. ”

"Yes! What a bastard I was, robbed him of his last hope and made him sick. ”

"Good thing you woke up in time!"

"No, it's too late, if I had come to my senses, my dad wouldn't be in bed by now. This man! It's okay to be frustrated for a while, but you can't be frustrated for a lifetime! ”

"Yes! You! While your parents are still there, hurry up and be filial to them, but don't let them worry about you anymore. ”

The two sang and harmonized, although they were talking about the shopkeeper's affairs, but they were actually using this to knock Lin Zu.

At first, Lin Zu didn't react, he kept closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, until Lao Yang Tou said the last sentence, he opened his eyes slightly, but soon closed them again.

The two didn't see Lin Zu's reaction, thinking that this strategy had failed again, so after drinking, they cleaned up the table, closed the door of the Lin family and left.

"It still doesn't seem to work! This stinky boy, hey! Old Yang couldn't help but sigh with a worried face.

The shopkeeper patted Lao Yang's shoulder and comforted: "As the saying goes, 'things are not more than three', tomorrow you and I will try again, if he is still like this, I will go to Nanyang City to find one at random, you help me teach, how about it?" ”

"Naturally, you and I are old friends, and it's okay to help you teach someone, but I'm older and less energetic than before."

"It's good to teach more in your free time, after all, even if I go to ask for it, I can't invite a very good and suitable person."

"Then what do you think of tomorrow to deal with that stinky boy?"

"I remember you once said that this Lin Zu is the most filial?"

"Yes! But now! In order to earn him money for drinking, the two old men are doing odd jobs for others every day! I can't help it! If they don't make money, the kid will steal the wine, hey! How could they bear to let their son be beaten and bruised! ”

"You know where they usually do odd jobs?"

"It seems that Lin Zu's mother is helping the family wash clothes in the long alley of West Street, and his father is working as a coolie at the dock."

"At such an age, it's hard for them. Let's take Lin Zu to see it tomorrow! This is also the last resort, if he still doesn't wake up, it's not worth your effort. ”

"Your method is good, it's a fierce medicine. Then let's try again tomorrow! ”

"However, this Lin Zu probably won't follow us obediently, and he has to find a way."

"Then tie it up, if you don't go, you have to go, you can't help him."

"You master is ruthless!"

"Or you have a better way?"

The shopkeeper shook his head and walked forward quickly, the two discussed tomorrow's affairs, and chatted about other topics and returned to the prayer building.
