Chapter 133 Gambling House
Xu Shu didn't know whether Mu Jinghua agreed or not.
But he didn't ask. After sending Qi Huairen to Huimin Hall, he went straight to Muyi Building.
Today is the second day of training, and it is obvious that everyone is much more proficient than the first day. As soon as Xu Shu entered, he could feel that everyone's mental outlook had improved significantly.
He took a look around, sent Mu Jinghua to the kitchen, and explained everything to the chef in charge of training over and over again before he felt relieved.
As a result, as soon as he walked out of the kitchen, he saw Du Wanbai. Xu Shu couldn't help but be surprised: "Didn't I tell you to rest at home for a while before coming back? Are you okay?"
Du Wanbai's face was still a little pale, but he was in good spirits. He bowed to Xu Shu and replied, "Cao'er is still young, and mother has to worry about the funeral, so I dare not rest."
Xu Shu sighed, as if to agree, and said, "Don't try to be stubborn."
Du Wanbai nodded in agreement and watched Xu Shu leave.
But as soon as Xu Shu left, someone came up to Du Wanbai and said with a low laugh, "It's only been a few days since we last met, and your relationship with Master Xu is so good?"
Du Wanbai pushed the man away embarrassedly: "Don't talk nonsense, Mr. Xu likes Brother Mu, how can I..."
"Oh," the man snorted disdainfully, "Brother Mu? He just relies on the fact that he knew Master Xu earlier. It's true that Master Xu dotes on him, but he's also been nice to you."
Du Wanbai shook his head. He still remembered what Xu Shu said when he tested him that day. His heart and eyes were full of him, not including anyone else.
That's what it means to really care and really like someone.
Du Wanbai did not elaborate on this matter, but the person next to him started to think about it and said to him, "But Brother Mu is also here to participate in the training at Muyi Building, mainly to learn how to cook from that fat chef."
"I said that Master Xu would never give Muyi Building to Brother Mu completely. After all, Master Xu bought it at a huge price. Why should he give it to someone who has no relatives or friends?"
Du Wanbai shook his head and went straight to the kitchen.
Because Xu Shu had given special instructions, the chefs were particularly concerned about Mu Jinghua. Of course, the chefs in charge of the training were either from Wu Yong's restaurant or Xiao Ran's residence. Even if they had never met Mu Jinghua, they had all heard of Mu Jinghua's name, so it was natural for them to be enthusiastic.
As soon as Du Wanbai arrived at the kitchen, he saw several chefs surrounding Mu Jinghua and asking him many questions enthusiastically.
The girls and boys who had been learning to cook from the chef were left aside, looking a little embarrassed.
As soon as Du Wanbai came in, he hurriedly asked, "Everyone is busy?"
The leader was a chef named Xie, from Xiao Ran's mansion. He had studied with the imperial physician before. He was very capable but not arrogant. When he saw Du Wanbai, he smiled and said, "You're a stranger. Are you here to learn how to cook as well?"
Du Wanbai shook his head and shook the notebook in his hand: "I'm the manager here. I was delayed by something yesterday. I came to you today to ask about the situation."
"Oh, you must be Du Wanbai." The chef smiled and said, "Master Xu has told us that if you want to know anything, just ask."
Chef Xie called out to the others again, "Everyone come here, I have something to ask you."
Du Wanbai asked some questions as usual, and finally looked at Mu Jinghua: "Brother Mu, don't tire yourself out."
Mu Jinghua nodded, smiled at him, then turned around and took the vegetables to wash.
When Chef Xie saw him washing the vegetables, he hurriedly said, "Brother Mu, Brother Mu, you don't have to wash the vegetables. Master Xu has told you that you are the boss and you are here to learn. How can we let you do such rough work?"
He pointed at someone casually and said, "Hey, little guy, can you please wash the vegetables here? Come on, Brother Mu, I'm going to make this Kung Pao Chicken, just watch."
Mu Jinghua was a little flattered.
Someone next to him couldn't help but roll his eyes.
……
After Xu Shu left the Muyi Building, he headed towards the gambling house. According to the information Wu Yong provided, there were at least ten gambling houses in Qingshui Town, and Wang Po was in charge of eight of them.
But Xu Shu had looked through Wang Po's own bills. Although the gambling house was hers, she only got a share of the profits every month at most, and she did not have much say.
After all, people who can open a gambling house are not good people. No matter how capable Wang Po is, she can't defeat those big men who can hack people at will.
Xu Shu had no intention of confronting them head-on, so of the eight, he only picked the one to which Li Ziguang owed money, called Xingping Gambling House.
Xingping, Xu Shu looked at the plaque and couldn't help but chuckle. A gambling house was given such a name, and no one knew whether it was intentional or not.
But Xu Shu had no intention of ruining the place this time. As soon as he entered, he played two rounds symbolically.
He had been involved in gambling before, but his family had no gambling business and he had strict upbringing, so he was really not good at it.
But he was lucky. After playing twice, he won money every time.
Although the winnings were not much, it was enough to buy Mu Jinghua a new set of clothes.
Xu Shu walked to the counter in a good mood and asked the clerk to pick up the money. After receiving the money, he said, "Little brother, where is your boss? I have something to ask him."
"Are you looking for our shopkeeper?" The man saw that Xu Shu was dressed neatly and his attitude was not bad. "Then wait, I'll go call him. I'm just not sure whether the shopkeeper is willing to come."
Xu Shu was not arrogant and explained with a smile: "Then please tell the shopkeeper that I am the one who bought Yichunlou."
"Wow." The man frowned, looked Xu Shu up and down for a while, and said, "I really can't tell, you are it? Then aren't you our boss?"
Xu Shu waved his hand and said, "I don't dare to be the boss. I just came to ask about the situation. I am not familiar with this gambling house. I hope your shopkeeper will give me more face."
The man was obviously not ignorant of the situation. After hearing what Xu Shu said, his attitude improved a lot: "You are quite sensible. Wait, I will go find the shopkeeper now."
Xu Shu didn't have any temper, so he just stood in front of the counter and waited.
After waiting for about a cup of tea, the man came back and said to Xu Shu with a smile: "Our shopkeeper invites you to go upstairs, Tianzihao."
Xu Shu agreed with a smile, and went up three floors with the man to the so-called No. 1 private room.
Just looking at the scale and size of this place, Xu Shu estimated that this gambling house was the largest one in Qingshui Town. No wonder Wang Po couldn't control these gambling houses at all. The scale was actually not much different from Yichun Tower.
Xu Shu entered the private room, but did not see the so-called shopkeeper. The man told him to wait for a moment, poured him a cup of tea, and then turned and left.
Xu Shu took a bite and found it quite ordinary. He immediately understood the shopkeeper's attitude.
