After leaving the black market, Hu Zi said to Chen Yuan, "Brother Yuan, that woman treated us last time, so it doesn't count as my treat. Today I'll treat you."

Chen Yuan originally wanted to get two dishes to take home for Sun Weiwei and Yiyi, and he also brought a lunch box.

Seeing Hu Zi's sincere look, Chen Yuan did not refuse because if he didn't agree, Hu Zi would always be thinking about it.

"Okay, I'll treat you to a meal next time I have the chance."

The two walked happily towards the Wuxiang State-owned Restaurant.

To get to the Wuxiang State-owned Restaurant from the black market, you need to go through an alley.

As soon as Chen Yuan and his friends arrived nearby, they heard shouting from over there.

"Damn it, we've been looking for you for days!"

"Tell me, when can we get the goods to our boss?"

A familiar voice sounded, and Li Shanghai asked with a smile: "Goods?"

Soon, Li Shanghai realized who their boss was.

"Let your boss pay off the debt first!"

Chen Yuan recognized the voice as that of the man from the black market and couldn't help but become curious.

The gang stretched their necks, raised their sticks, and cursed, "Bah!"

"What debt? I don't know!"

"I only know how to get things done for money! If you mess with my boss, I'm going to get you!"

"Brothers, come on!"

They saw that Li Shanghai was here to sell goods today, so they came to block him.

A group of thugs rushed towards Li Shanghai. Li Shanghai had been in the black market for so long, but this was the first time someone had robbed him so brazenly.

At least before, they could negotiate, with both sides making concessions and living in peace.

Seeing that the stick was about to hit him, Li Shanghai closed his eyes and prepared to take the hit.

However, the pain did not come for a long time. He looked up and saw that it was the two people who were selling things together in the black market!

The gang leader was furious. Who on earth was so blind to ruin his plans?

Last time, they failed to complete the task assigned by Zhang Hao and were scolded a lot when they returned.

I finally got the chance this time and took another job to teach Li Shanghai from the black market a lesson.

Most people living in the county town know Li Shanghai, a black market trader.

They had been blocking the way for several days, and finally got their chance today.

If they fail to complete this mission, how can they continue to live in the underworld?

Chen Yuan curled the corners of his lips and sneered, "Your grandfather!"

The gang leader then realized that the person in front of him looked familiar, as if they had seen him somewhere.

He just felt a chill in his crotch and thought to himself, this is not good!

Damn! Isn't this the guy who beat them down that day?

"Ouch! Grandpa!"

"My Lord, it is our honor to meet you here. It is such an honor!"

Li Shanghai was completely confused by this group of people.

Chen Yuan smiled and waved to the gang leader. After the man came over, he put his hand directly on the man's shoulder and squeezed hard.

The gang leader was immediately frightened, "Have mercy! Grandpa, spare my life!"

Chen Yuan's voice was as cold as the wind outside. "Are you scared now?"

The gang leader immediately apologized with a smile, "We were blind and didn't know Li Shanghai was your friend! We're leaving right now, right now!"

Chen Yuan let go of his hand with satisfaction, "Get away from me! If I find out you're causing trouble for him again, I'll get you!"

"Yeah, yes, yes!" the gang leader said with a nod and a bow.

He turned around and said viciously to a group of his brothers: "Why don't you retreat!"

After the gang left, Li Shanghai picked up the bicycle that had fallen to the ground and said with a smile, "Thank you so much for today!"

"My name is Li Shanghai, and I live in Da'an Village."

Chen Yuan pointed in the direction of Chenjia Village and replied, "My name is Chen Yuan, and I'm from Chenjia Village."

Li Shanghai was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Chen Yuan was from the village next to theirs.

"Our place is not close to the county town. You don't have a bicycle. It must be hard to come to the city every day, right?"

Chen Yuan hummed, "Our two villages are quite close!"

Li Shanghai nodded. "Hey, I think this is fate. You saved me today, how about I treat you to a meal?"

"Let's go, let's go, it's settled!"

After saying that, Li Shanghai didn't care whether Chen Yuan and Hu Zi agreed or not, and directly pushed them towards the Wuxiang State-owned Restaurant.

Hu Zi:?

The three of them arrived at the Wuxiang State-owned Restaurant, where Zhou Lili was also on duty today.

Zhou Lili has been feeling conflicted ever since he told her last time that Chen Yuan was married and had children.

She likes Chen Yuan, but morally she cannot destroy Chen Yuan's family.

When Zhou Lili saw Chen Yuan and the others come in, her heart seemed to skip a beat.

Several waiters gathered together and saw Chen Yuan coming in. They immediately recognized him.

"Hey, Lili! Isn't that your Brother Chen?"

"Oh, this is an opportunity!"

"Come on over, this table is for you!"

"..."

Zhou Lili quickly explained: "Don't talk nonsense, Brother Chen is already married, I just regard him as my savior."

Everyone was amazed, thinking they were going to see something good!

Zhou Lili's inner conflict deepened, but she didn't show it on her face.

"Brother Chen, what would you like to eat today?"

Chen Yuan glanced at Li Shanghai, and Zhou Lili immediately reacted and said, "Big brother, what would you like to eat?"

"I want a plate of this braised pork, and a plate of dried tofu with hot peppers. Oh, I want a plate of everything on the menu today!"

"More rice and steamed buns."

Zhou Lili agreed with a smile and turned to go to the kitchen.

While waiting for the food, Li Shanghai couldn't help but ask curiously, "Chen Yuan, why are those hooligans so afraid of you?"

Chen Yuan shrugged and replied nonchalantly, "On the second day of the Lunar New Year, I took my wife and children back to my parents' home. They came looking for trouble and I beat them up. After that, they were afraid of me."

Li Shanghai gave Chen Yuan a thumbs up.

Zhou Lili got the food and brought it over directly.

"Brother Chen, your meal."

Chen Yuan was thinking about the rabbit farming in the village, so he said to Zhou Lili, "Comrade Zhou, I have something I want to ask you."

"Is it convenient for me to take a step to talk?"

Zhou Lili suddenly felt nervous, her heart began to beat wildly, and she followed Chen Yuan out the door.

"Brother Chen, what can I do for you?"

Seeing that no one was around, Chen Yuan lowered his voice and asked, "Does your state-owned restaurant accept rabbit meat?"

Zhou Lili was stunned at first, then realized that she had lost her composure and pinched the corner of her clothes awkwardly.

"Yes! But rabbit meat is in short supply. It's hard to sell, so I only buy it at certain times."

Chen Yuan understood. It seemed that rabbit meat was only cooked to make up the number when entertaining VIPs.

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "To be honest, we raise rabbits in our village, and my wife's family's ancestral recipes have two ways of cooking rabbit meat."

"If possible, I would like to talk to your manager about delivering goods to our state-owned restaurant in the name of the village."
