Ou Chenli had a hard meal. She seemed to be turning her anger into food. Seeing the plates on her table stacked high, Xu Yunjian and Li Tiehan looked at each other and smiled bitterly, "A little girl, who eats so much, aren't you afraid of being overwhelmed?"

"You care." Li Tiehan rubbed his round nose and said, "Actually, if you look closely, you will know that this girl has a big skull. If you look at her shoulders, she will almost catch up with Xiaoxiao."

"It's true. I just pay attention to her face, not to her figure. If you don't eat such a big bone, you'll be fat if you eat it." Xu Yunjian smiled badly and said, "Hey, you said, if she is fat like an old lady, will anyone want it?"

"No matter whether anyone wants it or not, it's not your turn anyway."

"What? Xiaoxiao told me back then, "A family of women, Baijia, how could you know that it's not my turn?"

Li Tiehan smiled. Compared to Xu Yunjian and Lu Li, he had experienced more years in society. With the clear position of the bystanders, it was obvious that the relationship between the man and the woman might not be very simple, especially the girl named Ou, who was so cold-eyed whenever she saw Lu Li, it was not a good sign!

"By the way, where is Xiaoxiao?"

"Who was there just now? Where did you go?"

"It must be because I ran away. I can't afford to mess with you, but I can't afford to hide." Xu Yunjian didn't finish his sentence, and suddenly saw Lu Li coming out of nowhere. He stood in front of the silver table and looked at the store, "How is it, how is the business today?"

"These days have been good..." Li Tiehan returned to his hand and took the account book, opened it and took a look. "By yesterday, until January 23, we opened for 40 days, and a total of 11.454 plates of beef and mutton were sold..."

Luli was startled, "So much?"

"Yes, in the first 6 days, generally, 19 tables are opened every day, and each table consumes an average of 7 plates, and the total number is 798 plates; in the middle 18 days, an average of 24 tables per day, and each table consumes 10 plates, which is 4,320 plates; and in the past 16 days, there are 36 tables of guests every day, and each table consumes 11 plates, which is 6,336 plates. The total number is more than 10,000 plates."

"What about our income?"

"The income is in another account book. Wait for a while?" Li Tiehan took out another account book and opened it to see. The meat product item is 171,810 Hong Kong dollars, which is small, and it is equivalent to RMB and there are 68.602.2 yuan. It should have been more, but we are executing different amounts of plates and different prices, so it will be a little less. And if we count the vouchers of twenty yuan for every hundred yuan, it will be reduced to 54,979.2 yuan."

"This is not a lot! It's only a little over a month! You kid have made so much money!" Xu Yunjian laughed loudly and punched Lu Li hard on the shoulder!

Luli was also shocked by such a number. In 40 days, he made nearly 50,000 yuan. This is just a meat product, what about vegetables and seafood? Where is the wine? "Wait for a while, there will be no customers, let's go to my room upstairs and talk for a while..." He glanced at him and cursed. "This girl is going to make trouble again."

He temporarily let go of the joy brought by the huge profits and arrived at Ou Chenli's table, "Miss Ou, are you full?"

"I'm full." As he said that, Ou Chenli actually burped a big burp! She quickly covered her mouth.

Luli had a sense of disgust for no reason, "Lady, lady."

Ou Chenli was really unable to hold on. For some reason, she couldn't tolerate her side for Lu Li to see. She stood up angrily and walked out, "Hey, you check out!"

Ou Chenli also remembered that she hadn't paid yet! When she opened her bag, she saw that the girl's face turned red in an instant, "I..."

"What's wrong?"

“I didn’t bring any money.”

Lu Li is so angry! What food do you eat without bringing money? Seeing that you are dressed in good clothes, but he was a hollow boss? He said something to her, and the other party was a daughter's house after all, "Forget it, go home, I'll treat you to this meal."

Ou Chenli couldn't even say a single word. She was so embarrassed today! She nodded to Lu Li in shame and turned around and walked away.

Lu Li watched her walk away, angry and funny. What is this? In the end, she had to use the money to fill the gap. When she got the bill, she frowned: "What did she eat? Why did she have so much money? She ate more than 400 yuan alone?"

"It's all seafood, it's a good guy, it's just a waste of money. A girl who is useless."

Lu Li smiled, "It may be a bit too much to say that he has no prospects, she just wants to relieve himself." He took out a few bills from his pocket and placed them on the counter, "seeking change."

Li Xueqing smiled and took out the coin and returned it to him, but he didn't forget to joke with him, "Xiaoxiao, give me some tips?"

"Isn't this given? I served it from beginning to end, so it's not just right for me?"

Li Xueqing burst into laughter.

It was almost nine o'clock, and the night shift staff started to work. After going home for a rest during the day shift, the guests who were preparing to eat hot pot while watching the waves had not arrived yet. The store was a little clean. Lu Li, Gu Zhong, Xu Yunjian and several others sat around the dining table, each holding a pen to settle the accounts: beef and mutton were purchased at 0.64 and 0.56 per kilogram respectively. If the shipping fee on the road was reduced, the cost per kilogram was 0.71 and 0.62 yuan, and it was transported three times in a row from Yangcheng. The beef was 2,645.77 yuan, totaling 1,693.29 yuan; mutton was 1,892.80 yuan and 1,059.96 yuan. The cost of these two items was 2,753.25 yuan."

Lu Li listened to Gu Zhong's report and quickly pressed the calculator with his fingers, saying: "According to this calculation method, since the opening of our hot pot restaurant, the total income of beef and mutton is 52,225.94 yuan."

Everyone cheered! "Don't worry, this is just calculated in RMB. If it is based on Hong Kong dollars, it will be 130,564 yuan! Haha!"

Xu Yunjian jumped up and shouted, "That's great! Xiaoxiao, you have to treat him."

"Please, I will definitely ask. But don't worry, there are other items. How about Ah Zhong, vegetables, seafood and wine?"

"I have to calculate the income of this part carefully. The purchase price is different, so it is very troublesome to calculate. Why not calculate it at night? I will calculate it when I am on duty at night and then tell you tomorrow."

"Okay." Luli had been struggling for a day. He was really tired, so he greeted a few people and went upstairs to sleep.

*********************************************

Luli was sleeping in a drowsy mood. Not long after a while, a yelling sound came from his ears. His sleeping habit was that no one could make noise in his ears. The sound from downstairs sounded in his ears, which immediately woke him up. Get up and see that it was past midnight. "Why is it so noisy?"

When he walked to the stairs and looked down, the lights in the store reflected up, and there weren't many people shouting below, so there was no need to mention the excitement. He suddenly remembered that it was the grandson who stayed up late to watch the football game. It must be the time to see it. If it were someone else, he could shut up with a word, but now, they are all guests! When he promised Gu Zhong to play the TV in the store, why did he forget this?

There was no choice but to turn around and go back to the room, but he couldn't sleep anymore. He tossed and turned around on the bed, turned on the desk lamp, and looked at it. It was less than two o'clock, and there was no sound downstairs. Luli turned over and sat up, put on his clothes and went downstairs.

There was still light downstairs, and it was Gu Zhong who was calculating the accounts. The ashtray was filled with cigarette butts, and a few empty beer bottles were thrown everywhere on the table. I heard the sound on the stairs. I looked up and looked up, "Brother Li, why aren't you sleeping yet?"

"I woke up. When I was sleeping, I was most afraid of sound. Oh, I was so uncomfortable." Luli sat down opposite him and yawned, "How about it, are you done?"

"It's been working on it, there are too many varieties, it's quite troublesome."

"Don't worry, this kind of digital work is sometimes troublesome. I used to leave it to Liang Wei."

Gu Zhong took out a cigarette and said, "Brother Li, can you smoke one to refresh yourself?"

"No, it's better to have less of this kind of thing."

"This is a cigarette, not an opium. One or half of them can't get addicted. Come on, it's midnight."

Luli thought it made sense, so he took the cigarette roll and lit it, took a sip, and slowly spewed out a stream of green smoke, then slapped out the cigarette butt, "It's nothing? Why do you guys love smoking this thing so much?"

"You haven't smoked before, so you think it's nothing. People like me, Brother Jian, can't do it. It seems nothing is great, but it will be uncomfortable to say that you don't smoke for three days."

Lu Li smiled and stopped talking about this topic. Instead, he asked, "A Zhong, I have never heard you mention your family. Are the two elders in the church okay?"

"My dad is gone. He left early and relied on my occasional help. My mom took me, my brother and sister to grow up together."

"Then, where are your mother and your younger brothers and sisters?"

"My mother is working in an umbrella factory in the New Territories, and there are only a few leftovers and are still in school."

Luli nodded, "Where is the cat?"

"His situation is a bit worse. Lao Dou is a seaman and has encountered a shipwreck. His mother ran away with a man, leaving him and his younger sister to live with his grandmother. Fortunately, the house is still their own, otherwise..."

Luli nodded and said he understood, "If that's the case, his life is very difficult?"

"Yes, my sister has to go to school and grandma has to treat her illness. Moreover, Amao once vowed to her grandma to let her enjoy the best life, so she worked tirelessly to support her in private schools, and the tuition fee was more than 30,000 Hong Kong dollars a year."

"So that?" Luli thought for a while, "Let's talk about it tomorrow..."

"Hmm?" Gu Zhong didn't expect that he would only say half of the words, and he didn't dare to ask too much, "Brother Li, you go and rest?"

"No, since I woke up, I can't fall asleep. I'll settle the accounts with you." He took the account book and the calculator, "Where did you calculate?"

Gu Zhong handed over the document, lit a cigarette, and said, "Brother Li, if you can't sleep because of the noise, I think you can prepare another house for living."

Lu Li was stunned, "Prepare another house? You mean, in Hong Kong... can I buy a house by myself?"

"Of course it's OK. When Li Ge returned to the mainland, Lawyer Zhang came once. He talked about this with Brother Jian. I heard it at that time. What he said was that if Li Ge, you own real estate in Hong Kong, it will be of many benefits for you to apply for a formal residence permit in the future."

"I... haven't thought about this problem. But this is indeed a solution. Do you agree with him?"

"Of course." Gu Zhong nodded seriously and said, "Brother Li, you are worth a little now. It is very appropriate to buy a property in Hong Kong. To be honest, it is always not good for you to live in this old martial arts hall."

"Then, if you want to buy a house, how much does it cost in Hong Kong?"

"I don't know that this kind of thing is frugal. If you want to buy expensive things and cheaper ones, you have to choose according to your personal income."

Gu Zhong's occasional thoughts gave Lu Li a great impact. It's true that if he could have his own house in Hong Kong, there were many benefits. First of all, he would not have to endure the noise of late guests here anymore; second, if Liang Wei came to Hong Kong, there would be a more comfortable place to settle in; third, and most importantly, he would have to take his aunt over in the future. Even if the old lady just came here to stay for a few days and then went back, she wouldn't be allowed to live here, right?
