Courtyard House: A Great Musician! Red Songs Resound Worldwide

After all, ten yuan was a lot of money back then. If you paid ten yuan for each dish, and you sold five dishes, that would be fifty yuan, which was a whole month's salary.

As a professional chef, Sha Zhu should have been the first to stand up, and his instinctive reaction made him stand up, but he quickly sat down again.

"It only costs sixty yuan to cook six dishes for him, and I have to watch his mood, serve him, and be his slave. What's in it for me?"

"Do I lack money now? As long as I sell this musical score, I will become richer than Li Chaoyang. It would be great if I could have him make it for me then."

The sheet music hasn't even been sold yet, and Sha Zhu is already getting cocky. He's even unwilling to make money from it anymore. Seeing that Sha Zhu hasn't come out, Li Chaoyang really wants to try Sha Zhu's cooking. He finds it quite strange.

Qin Huairu was feeling quite upset after being rejected by Li Chaoyang, and she was too ashamed to stand up for herself. However, Madam Jia didn't care about that and urged Qin Huairu on.

"Qin Huairu, were you just scared out of your wits by Li Chaoyang? Didn't you hear what he said? This is an opportunity. Cook him a couple more dishes."

“If you make him ten or eight, then he’ll earn about eighty or ninety yuan.”

"You're not taking advantage of such a good opportunity? What are you still doing there? Hurry up and go!"

Qin Huairu hadn't expected that after being rejected, her mother-in-law would force her to cook for someone else. Faced with money, Qin Huairu had no choice but to bow her head.

“I’ll cook for you. Just tell me what you want to eat. You won’t find this kind of food in a courtyard house. No other family would have it.”

"But it's okay, I think your price is acceptable, I'll make it for you right away."

Li Chaoyang had no appetite for Qin Huairu's cooking, and naturally, he had no appetite for it either. Just as he was hesitating, Xu Damao suddenly appeared.

"Who says I don't have any? I do!"

"But I'm not short of money. I just want to have a good chat with you, Brother Li Chaoyang."

“Actually, you and I are both cultured people. How about we get together and have a chat? I’ll serve the food and the drinks, and you can just chat with me for a while.”

Li Chaoyang didn't have a good impression of Xu Damao. Both on and off screen, Xu Damao was a shrewd and cunning person who would never suffer a loss.

Xu Damao, who is serving drinks and food today, is having an in-depth conversation with Li Chaoyang, so he must have other motives.

........ .... 0

However, how could one know Xu Damao's purpose without getting close to him?

Thinking of this, Li Chaoyang happily agreed.

"It's so much more enjoyable to be with people who have plenty of money. Okay, shall we go to my place or yours?"

Li Chaoyang was never afraid to approach anyone, even someone like Xu Damao, whom he wanted to observe closely.

Xu Damao really hadn't expected Li Chaoyang to agree to this so readily, which made Xu Damao quite excited.

"Look, I'm just coming in with wine and food. Go to your place."

As he spoke, Xu Damao took the wine and dishes and went to Li Chaoyang's house.

Qin Huairu was thus thwarted. She had already made plans and thought she could make a profit, but unexpectedly, Xu Damao appeared out of nowhere. Qin Huairu was furious.

"Xu Damao, don't you know any order of precedence? You're so annoying, how can you be so rude!"

"I don't even care. You're bringing wine and food to other people's places. I don't know what you're rushing to do on '840'. You haven't fallen for Li Chaoyang too, have you?"

Li Chaoyang and Xu Damao had just stepped inside when they heard Qin Huairu say this. They knew that Qin Huairu was angry because she hadn't gotten the opportunity, but these words directly enraged Li Chaoyang.

Li Chaoyang stopped in front of the door, then suddenly turned around, walked angrily to Qin Huairu, and pointed at her nose to warn her.

"Qin Huairu, you'd better watch your words from now on."

"You need to know that the thing you use to speak is called your mouth."

"I've already put up with you twice today. If you dare to talk nonsense again, you'd better watch out or I'll sew your mouth shut."

Li Chaoyang once again frightened Qin Huairu so much that she couldn't even speak. Xu Damao looked at Li Chaoyang's appearance and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. Xu Damao had also argued with Qin Huairu before.

However, Qin Huairu was unforgiving and started arguing with Xu Damao in the courtyard. Now that it was Li Chaoyang's turn, Qin Huairu didn't dare to utter a single word, which made Xu Damao somewhat admire her.

"Hey, bro, you're really something! You've wronged these women, but you've got some tricks up your sleeve. Qin Huairu was so scared by you just now, she didn't dare to utter a single word."

Li Chaoyang had already turned around and gone back into the house with Xu Damao, leaving Qin Huairu standing there in a daze. For some reason, Qin Huairu's tears seemed unstoppable, flowing directly from her eyes.

Qin Huairu had never experienced such humiliation before, nor had she ever felt that being insulted by someone was such a heartbreaking thing. Perhaps Qin Huairu had already fallen in love with Li Chaoyang without realizing it.

Jia Zhangshi saw everything clearly from her home, when Li Chaoyang pointed at Qin Huairu's nose and cursed her.

Instead of defending her daughter-in-law, Jia Zhangshi approached Qin Huairu with a disgraceful expression after Qin Huairu had been severely scolded.

"What are you still standing there for? Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough? Get back inside right now!"

"You're really useless. You don't even have this much ability. You can't even handle a man. What else can you do?"

In any case, Li Chaoyang got his wish tonight; he was able to have a very sumptuous dinner without having to cook for himself.

Xu Damao is really extravagant. He's having a feast late at night, with roast chicken and pig's trotters. It's exactly what Li Chaoyang wanted.

Knowing that Xu Damao had other motives, Li Chaoyang just ate and drank, without saying a word or discussing anything, which made Xu Damao feel a little awkward.

"Is this food to your liking?"

"To be honest, I really have something to tell you today!"

Li Chaoyang was enjoying his meal when he heard Xu Damao say it, but Li Chaoyang didn't want to give Xu Damao a chance to speak.

"I bought all these vegetables. You said they were free, but if you ask me to do something for you, then I'll have to pay you."

"Xu Damao, I'm not trying to remind you, but look at our relationship, we have absolutely no connection. You want me to do you a favor?"

"You've brought out four dishes in total. I'll pay you fifty yuan, and that covers the cost of the drinks. If you're full, you can leave now. I'll drink by myself."

Xu Damao only knew that Li Chaoyang was always very capable and never showed any mercy to the people in these courtyards, but he did not expect him to be so direct.

However, Xu Damao felt that it was really a bit too exaggerated. They hadn't even said anything yet, and Li Chaoyang hadn't even asked them.

Xu Damao felt extremely helpless. After drinking a glass of wine, which is said to embolden even a bear, Xu Damao finally had the courage to speak.

"Why didn't you ask me what I needed? You didn't even ask, and you didn't help me. You really have no human touch."

"You didn't owe me anything before, but now that you've eaten my food, don't you owe me something?"

"Besides, maybe he's not short of money. I'm not asking you for money, so what are you afraid of?"

Li Chaoyang had no desire to deal with Xu Damao in any way. If Xu Damao hadn't insisted on bringing it to him today, Li Chaoyang wouldn't have eaten Xu Damao's food.

Now that Xu Damao is saying this, Chaoyang is quite curious and wants to hear what tricks Xu Damao is up to and what he wants.

"Okay, then tell me what you need?"

Xu Damao was so angry that he was about to leave, but he didn't know who to talk to about this matter, except for Li Chaoyang, who had prestige throughout the city.

Xu Damao felt that no matter who went, the matter might not be accomplished, so he shamelessly sat down again.

Li Chaoyang really didn't want to get involved in anything. In fact, he had just said that, and he had already made up his mind that no matter what Xu Damao was talking about, Li Chaoyang would definitely just ignore it.

Li Chaoyang ate and drank his own food and drinks without even glancing at Xu Damao.

Xu Damao was quite angry just now, but he was no longer angry at all. Instead, he immediately placed a glass of wine in front of Li Chaoyang, looking ingratiating and offering him a toast.

"Come, come, let me toast you."

"I really admire you so much. How do you come up with so many creative ideas? How do you write songs? Could you teach me sometime when you have time?"

Unexpectedly, Xu Damao had this idea. Li Chaoyang looked at Xu Damao with a strange and peculiar gaze, which made Xu Damao realize that Li Chaoyang would definitely not agree.

However, what Xu Damao was asking Li Chaoyang for was not this matter. Before Li Chaoyang could even speak, Xu Damao had already contradicted himself.

"Okay, okay, I don't have that talent either."

"Fine, I admit I misspoke. You talented people have such strange tempers. If you don't want to pay, fine. But the way you're looking at me gives me goosebumps."

Even after Xu Damao said that, Li Chaoyang still warned Xu Damao once again.

Chapter 118 Even Xu Damao was bowing his head, starting to flatter! [Please subscribe]

“Xu Damao, let me tell you, don’t be fooled by my quiet demeanor.”

"But you better behave yourself and don't get any ideas about my lyrics. If I find out you have any designs on me, I'll make sure you can't stay at the steel mill right now. Do you believe me?"

Although these words were meant to reprimand Xu Damao, Xu Damao was also very clear that Li Chaoyang had this ability.

With his two patriotic songs, Li Chaoyang has now become a cultural singer and a very famous songwriter in the city and even the whole country.

He has received numerous awards from the steel mill, and his home is now filled with award certificates. Xu Damao is very envious, but he doesn't dare to offend Li Chaoyang.

"Look, don't be so anxious. I was just kidding."

Just ignore what I just said.

Xu Damao was relatively well-behaved, and now that we hear what Xu Damao said, we know that he doesn't intend to make any more futile struggles.

As long as you're obedient, you can manage to get by with Li Chaoyang.

"Actually, I have something else I'd like to ask you. Could you please give me a heads-up?"

In Li Chaoyang's view, these words were even more shameless.

However, Li Chaoyang was also very surprised, never expecting that Xu Damao would ask him for help with this matter.

Li Chaoyang felt that he and Xu Damao were not yet that familiar. Although they hadn't had any major falling out, they had had their share of disagreements. Now, Li Chaoyang didn't find Xu Damao annoying at all.
