Wow! My wife is beautiful and obedient, everyone envies her!

Chapter 123 Trouble?

After tasting the steamed buns, several shop owners sat together and talked about their flavor.

Have you tried the new dishes at Mr. Qiyuan's restaurant?

"I ate it, and the employee said it was called a meat bun. It was really delicious! The outside was soft and the inside was juicy. It looked very ordinary, so how could it be made so delicious?"

"Didn't everyone say that Dongzhou cuisine was terrible and even poisonous? But ever since Mr. Qi Yuan opened that restaurant, I've been wondering who's spreading these rumors? Is he trying to monopolize all of Dongzhou's culinary delights by saying it's so bad?"

"Exactly! If it weren't for Mr. Qi Yuan's restaurant, I wouldn't have known that Dongzhou cuisine was so delicious!"

"Aren't you taking any orders?" a shop owner suddenly asked.

The other shop owners were puzzled. "What order?"

“Isn’t our shop next to Mr. Qi Yuan’s restaurant? A lot of people have asked me to buy dumplings for them. Last night I received requests from 15 people, and I charged each of them 2 yuan for my service. I made 30 yuan from those 15 people. Look, my husband is over there, first in line.”

The shop owners were suddenly taken aback. Although 30 yuan wasn't much, it was money they could earn just by helping someone buy dumplings next door and standing in line. Why not do it?

Qi Yuan was unaware that the shop owners in the vicinity had found a new way to make money and were still diligently making steamed buns in their kitchens.

The restaurant hired three new employees, who were mainly responsible for making steamed buns.

The staff was found by Qi Yuan through his butler, and coincidentally, the servants of the Davis family introduced their own family members to work at Qi Yuan's restaurant.

After conducting interviews, Qi Yuan selected three women who regularly cooked at home and had basic cooking skills. With Qi Yuan's guidance, they quickly learned how to cook.

However, following Qi Yuan's previous practice, before a new product is launched, he will give one to a customer for free to see their reaction before making a sale.

After working for two hours, Qi Yuan gave one hundred meat buns to the tasting stall to be given away for free to people at the church.

We're not in a rush to sell the steamed buns today. Instead, we'll give two free steamed buns to each table that spends 100 yuan or more. There's a limit to how many buns you can get this time, so you won't be able to order too many.

After making another hundred steamed buns, Qi Yuan asked the three aunties to learn how to make dumplings.

As soon as the restaurant door opened, the kitchen immediately became busy.

At this time, the busiest places are dumplings and beef noodles.

Other employees who weren't so busy also came to help make dumplings and cook noodles.

Soon, this busyness gradually eased.

Suddenly, an employee rushed in, saying urgently, "Boss, someone is looking for you. He says he's an old friend of yours and wants to see you."

"My old friend?"

Qi Yuan racked his brains but couldn't recall any friends he could have in this world.

The employee said, "Boss, that guy is blocking customers outside. He says he won't leave unless you come out to see him."

Qi Yuan's face darkened.

What kind of friend is this? Would a friend stop their friends from making money?

"He's got some nerve. Doesn't he know whose restaurant this is? How dare he cause trouble here?"

Qi Yuan really wanted to invoke Noah's name to intimidate the other party, but then thought that if it wasn't a big deal, he would handle it himself.

So I decided to go out and find out who was causing me trouble.

Upon arriving at the front hall, I indeed heard the commotion of the queue outside the door.

Qi Yuan also saw who was at the center of the commotion and shouted, "Rost!"

Rost was originally a petty thug who hung out with Carlisle.

When Rost saw Qi Yuan, he smiled happily, patted Raymond beside him, and then walked up to Qi Yuan with Raymond and a smile without saying anything more.

"Qi Yuan, it's been a long time. You look much better than when you first came out of prison. It seems the Davis family is doing well, they've kept you so healthy and radiant."

Qi Yuan was indeed thin after being released from prison, with little flesh on his face. During the time he recuperated at Davis's house, he ate and drank well every day without having to be on guard, which made him much more relaxed. He ate quite a lot, and his face became fuller and rosier. He looked much better than before and more lively, without the lifelessness he had when he first came out of prison.

Faced with the other party's flattery, Qi Yuan did not smile. He simply glanced at him with his dark eyes and said indifferently, "Long time no see. Something's up."

"What are you saying? Can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong? Qi Yuan, although our relationship isn't exactly great, I was the one who brought you money when you were in prison. Based on that alone, our relationship can't be considered bad, can it?"

Rost's words were full of flattery, and Qi Yuan had no intention of standing and talking to him, so he said, "Sit down and let's talk."

"Ok."

Rost sat down without ceremony. Qi Yuan picked up the teapot to pour him tea, but Rost immediately stopped him, snatching the tea away: "Let me do it, let me do it. We can't accept it if you, in your current position, pour us tea."

As he spoke, Rost quickly poured some tea.

Qi Yuan looked at them and asked, "Why did you come to see me? Just say it directly, no need to beat around the bush."

Rost chuckled. "Qi Yuan, since you put it that way, I won't stand on ceremony and will just say it directly."

"...So, could you find me and Raymond some jobs?" As he spoke, he scrutinized Qi Yuan's expression. "Boss Kalis was put in jail by Mr. Noah. Was that on your orders?"

Qi Yuanting wanted to say, "I did not give any instructions."

But even though he didn't give the order, Noah stood up for him. To outsiders, this just added another piece of irrefutable evidence of how much Noah doted on him.

After thinking for a moment, Qi Yuan nodded and replied, "Yes."

Rost smiled again. "Mr. Noah is quite ruthless. He threw Boss Kalis into prison and confiscated all the money Boss Kalis had earned. I heard that money was donated to the church in your name."

Qi Yuan paused for a moment.

Just how many things did Noah do behind his back?

“Mr. Noah only dealt with Boss Kalis. He didn’t touch us. It’s just that everyone in Juecheng knows that Boss Kalis offended Mr. Noah. Other organizations were afraid that taking us in would also offend Mr. Noah, so they didn’t dare to take us in.”

“Some brothers have gone back to their original homes. Raymond and I are from the slums of Juecheng. This is our hometown. We don’t know where we can go if we leave here, but we can’t find work in Juecheng. We had no other choice but to come to you.”

Rost explained his predicament.

Despite him recounting his recent predicament, Qi Yuan's expression didn't change much. Instead, upon hearing his words, he even started calculating the costs.

“My people just told me that if I don’t come out to see you, you’re going to cause a scene at my restaurant.”
