"So, what kind of work should we assign to Mu Tou?" Yu Dahai asked.
"Why don’t we have him clean the night soil? Our restaurant used to have the staff rotate for this job. Since Mu Tou is willing to do anything, why not relieve the staff of this burden for now!"
Mu Tou obviously didn’t want to do it.
As a respectable chef in a restaurant, he only ca to learn sothing; how could they ask him to clean night soil?
His precious hands could do what even pigs wouldn’t want to do?
"Owner, please ask soone else to clean night soil. I really can’t do it!"
"If you can’t do it, then get lost! Do you think I want to keep a worthless bum who harms others and himself?
Don’t forget, you were the one who wanted to leave our restaurant back then. Why should I feed and take care of you after you hard my interests?"
Mu Shuangshuang questioned him sharply!
Under her intimidation, Mu Tou reluctantly accepted the job of cleaning night soil.
"Owner, don’t get angry. Isn’t it just cleaning night soil? I’ll do it, I’ll do it, alright?"
Mu Tou said as he rushed into the restaurant.
Whether it was intentional or not, he headed straight for the rear kitchen.
He hadn’t even entered the kitchen when Chef Wei Dacong chased him out.
"You bastard, why are you here? Get out of here!"
Wei Dacong was holding a kitchen knife, waving it in front of Mu Tou.
Mu Tou rolled his eyes and said politely to Wei Dacong, "Brother Dacong, don’t get excited; I have co back to Chengfeng Restaurant. From now on, I..."
"From now on, he’ll be cleaning night soil in the corner of the backyard, Master Wei doesn’t have to bother with him! Also, rember to take care of the kitchen, no strangers allowed!"
Mu Shuangshuang’s clear voice ca from behind Mu Tou.
Mu Tou nodded along, "Yes, yes, I will be cleaning night soil in the future! Brother Dacong, I apologize for secretly learning your skills in the past!"
Wei Dacong snorted coldly, waving the kitchen knife twice more.
"In that case, here’s the rule: if Mu Tou ever enters the kitchen again, I’ll chop your head off with this fish-slicing knife! Make you regret ever being in this world!"
Such heavy intimidation made Mu Tou dare not approach the kitchen again.
Unwillingly, he headed towards the toilet in the backyard.
And Mu Shuangshuang gave Wei Dacong a look, signaling him not to get angry!
In the restaurant, the dirtiest place was undoubtedly the toilet, with many diners coming to squat every day.
So were particular and used the toilet properly, while so weren’t, perhaps settling for the side.
Or directly ssing around the toilet basin, and since cleaning night soil, it must all be taken care of!
When Mu Tou reached the toilet area, the nauseating stench nearly knocked him out.
He retreated several steps, turned around, and saw Mu Shuangshuang behind him.
"Owner, why... why are you following ? It stinks here, you better leave!" Mu Tou said grinningly to Mu Shuangshuang.
Although Mu Shuangshuang had just seen his face change, he could now banter lightly with her again.
Mu Shuangshuang didn’t expose Mu Tou.
"I ca to see if you’re willing to do this. If you’re not, I can let others do it!" Mu Shuangshuang said.
Mu Tou quickly waved his hands, "No, I’ll take this job. Just . I’ll make sure it’s clean!"
Saying this, Mu Tou dove into the toilet.
Mu Shuangshuang crossed her arms in front of her chest, she had plenty of ti to waste with Mu Tou!
The entire morning, Mu Tou cleaned up all the toilets, washed them thoroughly.
By the ti he was done, it was already after lunchti.
In the restaurant, al tis were mostly different from normal people.
Either earlier than usual or later!
This noon’s business was booming, so naturally, people ate later.
Mu Tou slled the aroma, his stomach gurgling with hunger.
Thick-skinned, he headed towards the courtyard area in the backyard.
The staff usually ate near the courtyard in the backyard. There was a natural pavilion there.
Comfortable aside, the space was most importantly large enough.
Before Mu Tou showed up, everyone’s voices were particularly loud. When Mu Tou appeared, everyone fell silent.
Especially Wei Dacong, who picked up a big spoon, saying to everyone, "Today’s al isn’t enough, once it’s finished, it’s gone!"
His words were evidently a reminder not to share the food with Mu Tou.
Yet, there were still those who didn’t understand.
Erzhu smiled and said to everyone, "Uncle Wei, get another bowl, how about we each share a bite for Mu Tou? He worked quite a lot this morning!"
Ah Cai frantically signaled Erzhu, but Erzhu just couldn’t see it.
He even asked Ah Cai, "Ah Cai, what’s wrong with your eyes? Uncomfortable? Need to see a doctor?"
Ah Cai was about to explode with anger from Erzhu.
Erzhu, this person, usually loved making friends, casually calling people brother.
Yet, truly he wasn’t a bad person; if he were, Yu Dahai wouldn’t keep him!
"Alright, Erzhu, eat your own al. You don’t need to get involved in Mu Tou’s affairs!" Wei Dacong scolded Erzhu, not even giving him a set of utensils.
Erzhu held back a breath, believing Mu Tou had been good company before parting for so reason.
Everyone treating him like this felt a bit like kicking soone when they’re down!
He held his bowl, walked to Mu Tou, and said, "Brother Mu Tou, I believe you’re a good person! My al is yours!"
This scene was just witnessed by Mu Shuangshuang on patrol.
She stepped forward and said to Erzhu, "Erzhu, I’ll settle your three-month wages, you better head to the accountant later, get your money, and leave!"
Erzhu was startled, an expression of surprise suddenly appearing on his face.
"Owner, why... why am I being told to leave? Because I helped Brother Mu Tou? But do you know, back when the restaurant was still known as the Fulin Restaurant, Mu Tou was already our friend.
I believe Brother Mu Tou has his reasons, and I’m willing, willing to share my al with Brother Mu Tou!"
Erzhu spoke sowhat incoherently.
But overall, his aning was that he had a good relationship with Mu Tou.
He didn’t want Mu Tou to be treated like this.
"You’re leaving for two reasons! First, your sympathy is overwhelming! Second, Mu Tou himself said he wouldn’t eat in the restaurant, bringing his own food, yet you’re asking everyone to share a bite?
Everyone already works hard, and now consider a traitor under such condition?"
Mu Shuangshuang questioned.
Erzhu still felt unjust!
"Nothing more to say! Leave now!" Mu Shuangshuang pointed at the doorway.
The accountant put down his utensils, "Owner, I’ll go settle Erzhu’s wages right away!"
Others seeing Mu Shuangshuang’s fury, didn’t dare speak.
As for the culprit Mu Tou, he stood motionless like a dead man.
