Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

Chapter 284 Damao's Gift to Shazhu

Hearing Yu Li's words, Sha Zhu sighed and said, "Well, I am destined to be a hard worker. I have to serve you as soon as you come. I am such a miserable person!"

"Little junior brother, don't be unconvinced. I am only taking advantage of the master. But I won't let you work for nothing. I have a gift for you from your senior brother." Xu Damao said with a smile.

As he spoke, Xu Damao winked at Secretary Xiao Li.

Seeing the boss speaking, Xiao Li immediately opened his bag and took out a box.

"Master He, this is a gift prepared by your boss for you. You may not know that our boss went to a watch shop specially to choose a gift for you!" Secretary Li said with a smile.

"Watch?" Sha Zhu said with a smile, "Nice watch. I don't want this one anymore! I've been wearing it for more than ten years."

"Master He, how can your watch compare to the one your boss bought you?" Secretary Li looked at the watch on Sha Zhu's hand and said disdainfully, "The one your boss bought you is a Rolex, and it's made of pure gold!"

"What? Pure gold! Come on, bring it here so I can see it. I have never worn anything with gold or silver in my life."

As he said that, Sha Zhu snatched the box and opened it impatiently, and then he saw a glittering gold watch.

"Hey, it's really beautiful. I've never seen such a beautiful watch. What's that sparkling thing inside?"

"Master He, that's a diamond," Secretary Li explained.

"Ah? Diamonds?"

"Yes! These broken diamonds weigh several carats in total."

"How much is this watch?" asked Sha Zhu.

"This..." Secretary Li looked at Xu Damao embarrassedly. It was not polite to ask the price of a gift.

"Hey, it's okay. This is my junior brother. He doesn't understand those twists and turns," Xu Damao said with a smile, "Junior brother, this watch is worth about 100,000 yuan according to the money here."

Hearing the price, Sha Zhu was stunned and asked in disbelief, "Brother, you are kidding me, right? This yellow lump, even if it is made of gold, can't be worth a hundred thousand, right?"

"Master He, this is a Rolex, a world-famous watch. What's valuable is not the gold, but the brand and the social status," Secretary Li explained.

"It doesn't matter whether it's a Rolex or a LuxeRoyce, it's just a watch to tell time. I don't believe it's worth one hundred thousand." Sha Zhu said.

"Master, look at this country bumpkin. Why don't you explain it to me?" Xu Damao said angrily. He gave him 100,000 yuan but he still didn't believe it. Isn't that a bit unhappy?

"Zhu Zi, Damao is right. This watch is indeed worth that much money. If you don't believe it, you can go to a watch shop and ask." Li Kangri explained.

When Sha Zhu heard what Li Kangri said, he believed it. He had complete faith in what Li Kangri said.

"Master, it's not that I don't believe it, this, this is too incredible, just a thing to tell time! One hundred thousand yuan, is there anyone who wants to buy it? If I were to make my previous salary, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to afford a watch in my lifetime, right?"

"Haha, it's not surprising, because these watches are not affordable for people like us who earn salaries. They were not intended to sell them to us when they were produced." Li Kangri explained.

"Is that so? Will someone chop my hands off if I wear it?" Sha Zhu asked excitedly.

"Haha, you see, Master also has one. This one costs three hundred thousand! It was also given to me by Damao."

As he spoke, Li Kangri lifted up his wrist and smiled.

"Ah! Three hundred thousand? This..." Sha Zhu was surprised, "Big Brother, I believe it now. Are you rich?"

"Hahaha, little junior brother, I told you a long time ago that I'm a big boss now, but you still don't believe it. How about it? Is this watch enough for you to cook a few meals for me?" Xu Damao said proudly. This was the feeling he wanted, the feeling of returning home in glory.

"Enough, enough, enough for a lifetime." Sha Zhu said with a smile.

As he said this, he took out the watch and was about to put it on his wrist.

"Brother Zhuzi, what are you doing? Can you wear this watch now? It's smoky from the stove, and it won't be good if it gets dirty. Give it to me, I'll keep it for you, and you can wear it when there's a suitable opportunity in the future." Yu Li walked over and said.

"Ah!? Are you going to put it away?" Sha Zhu said unwillingly, "Why don't I wear it for a few days and enjoy it first? Tomorrow is an important moment, right? Cooking with a watch worth a hundred thousand dollars on it will smell so good! Don't you agree?"

"Give it here, we'll talk about it tomorrow. Not now. Don't let me waste something that expensive."

As she said that, Yu Li stretched out her right hand without any hesitation, with an expression that said she wanted to put it down quickly.

"Hey, Lily, okay, okay, you hold it for me first, and I'll give it to you after I finish cooking."

Sha Zhu reluctantly put the watch into Yu Li's hand.

"Go cook quickly! Master and the others must be starving." Yu Li ordered.

"Okay, it will be back soon. Please keep the watch for me and don't lose it again."

After saying that, Sha Zhu reluctantly went to the kitchen, and this scene made the two secretaries laugh.

"Boss, now I know why you miss Master He so much. It's really funny." Secretary Li said.

"Hey, that's just the beginning. The fun is yet to come. You can tell my junior brother's wife what you want to eat and ask my junior brother to cook it for you. I tell you, after eating it for a few days, I guarantee that you won't want to go back to Hong Kong." Xu Damao said.

"Boss, what you said made me drool." Secretary Li said with a smile.

"Haha, comrades, then follow me. There is a menu over there. I will introduce it to you." Yu Li said.

"Boss, don't you want to order?" asked Secretary Li.

"Haha, no need, my junior brother knows what I like to eat!"

……

After a while, a table full of delicious dishes was served.

Smelling the long-lost flavor, Xu Damao's appetite grew. "Master, I won't be polite. I have been craving for this for a long time." Xu Damao said with a smile.

"Whatever you want!" Li Kangri said.

"Then I won't be polite."

After saying that, Xu Damao turned into a glutton and started eating with big mouthfuls, shocking the two secretaries next to him. They had never seen their boss like this before.

"Siying, is this really delicious? Look at the boss, I've never seen anything like this!" Secretary Li whispered.

"You'll know after you try it."

So, soon, the two secretaries also started eating. After just a few bites, they picked up more food without stopping. Sha Zhu, who was standing next to them, was very satisfied. Isn't it satisfying to see that the guests like your dishes?

"Big Brother, how is it? Am I getting better and better?" Sha Zhu said proudly.

"Junior brother, I, your senior brother, am not convinced by anything except your cooking skills. It's so delicious and much better than before. You are born to be a chef." Xu Damao said with a mouth full of oil.
