Chapter 1614 Big Pot Dish Exper (2/2)

Li Qi dipped a shrimp in the sauce and laughed. ”Well, isn't that tasty? Uncle Hua is something special. His ancestors used to work in the royal kitchens before. He used to cook in the central government when he was in China.”

Hearing this, Li Du was surprised and asked, ”Since he is so good, why didn't he stay in the old country? He must have been a top chef back home, right?”

The restaurant was tiny, and Uncle Hua in the kitchen overheard every word of their conversation.

The old man pulled back the curtain at the door, popped his head out and smiled. ”Boss, don't listen to Li Qi. How would I be so great? I am a big pot cook. I did cook for the central government in China, but only a few big pot dishes. Haha, it's nothing to mention…”

Li Du's heart was moved by the man's humility, and he asked, ”Does the boss cook good big pot dishes?”

Li Qi nodded, gave a thumbs-up and said, ”I have never seen anyone cook better than him.”

When they were talking, someone pushed the wooden door open with a bang, and a few rowdy young men came in cursing and shouting.

”F**K, get out, get out!”

”Hey, is the money ready? I had given you the last warning on Monday!”

”If you don't have the money today, I swear you are dead... F**k!”

When the young men peered into the restaurant, their mouths suddenly closed, and their eyes opened wide while surprised expressions appeared on their faces.

Li Du looked at these young people and laughed. It was too much of a coincidence. He actually met some acquaintance here; weren't these the same young men that Brother Wolf had beaten up at noon?

The youngsters were the thugs that the old cheaters hired to frighten Li Du and his men before. The result was Brother Wolf beat them up fiercely, and now they had black eyes, swollen lips, and limps.

However, they had nothing to do with the fraud itself, so the police did not bother to seek them out for trouble, and Li Du was too lazy to prosecute them. The two old swindlers were locked up at the police station while their hirelings were free.

The two sides now bumped into each other. Brother Wolf stood up again, and then slowly clenched his fist.

The young menʼs faces were suddenly as pale as chalk and they turned to leave.

Li Du tapped the table once and said, ”Hello, gentlemen, what are you doing here?”

The young men were silent and wanted to leave the restaurant quietly.

Brother Wolf lunged up to block them and said, ”Didnʼt you hear? Our boss asked you something.”

The young man who looked like the leader turned around cautiously and said, ”Excuse me, sir. What can I do for you?”

Li Du asked, ”What did you say just now? You were here to ask for money, right? What are you asking the money for?”

The owner of the restaurant came out, wiping his hands and standing at the kitchen door.

The young man gulped and said. ”Itʼs none of your business, sir...”

Li Du raised his eyebrows, and Brother Wolf slapped the youngster back-handed.

The young men were immediately angry, but they were conscious of danger as they recalled Brother Wolfʼs formidable fighting skills. They could only suppress their anger and stood in the doorway in embarrassment.

Li Du could guess what was going on. These bullies must have targeted Uncle Hua, an old Chinese man. They might have become used to come to his restaurant to eat and drink and blackmailed him for money.

Unless one had local connections, they could not do much against such bullying and intimidation, because the local police could not be bothered to hand this kind of thing. They would not be able to do it even if they wanted to.

Bullies were like a perennial pest. If the victims called the police to deal with them, they would be arrested for a few days, and then the police would release them. When they were released, they would deal with the owners in a worse way.

Whets more, sometimes the police could not even catch them. They would come to the door for money and destroy the shop or restaurant when the owners tried to defy them. Then they would quickly disappear, and when the police came to catch them, there would be nobody in sight.
