Chapter 531: The Reopening Of Bayview Seafood Restaurant

It was an afternoon when the sun shone brightly and the wind blew gently.

The people in the provincial capital felt unsure when they heard about the reopening of Bayview Seafood Restaurant.

They were happier than everybody else when it was closed down.

The big bully of the provincial capital was finally gone!

Yet, someone wants to reopen it now!

Wouldn’t it be the same no matter who the boss is?

The new boss would probably be another corrupt scammer, scaring away all the merchants and causing the provincial capital to be unable to prosper.

In the end, the fishermen and the farmers would be the ones who would suffer.

The only thing that made them less wary was that the new boss of Bayview Seafood Restaurant bought it at a sky-high price. Furthermore, the boss would examine the goods at the main entrance, right in front of the watching crowd, and paid for them directly in cash!

This was something unprecedented.

Previously, they had never been paid accordingly when they sent goods to Bayview Seafood Restaurant.

Sometimes, the fishermen would lay their hands on some precious seafood. A huge lobster would be worth five silvers, but the restaurant would only pay them one.

It was because these transactions happened secretly behind the kitchen, and the superiors did not bother to supervise it.

Now, they would be paid in cash instantly in front of everybody, and at a great price no less…

A lot of the people were very tempted, but they would merely peer in from the main entrance of Bayview Seafood Restaurant. They were afraid to go near it due to the notorious reputation it previously had.

Helian Wei Wei sat by the window on the second floor of the restaurant, holding a cup of tea in one hand and supporting her chin with the other, as she gazed out the window with her celestial eyes.

“The time is almost up.” Helian Wei Wei stood up and stretched lazily, saying, “Bring me the wok, we’ll go out now.

Da Xiong and Chen Liang nodded and walked over to the big iron wok, trying to lift it up together.

However, before they had even bent down, the little one had already picked it up single-handedly. He turned his eager little face toward them and stared at them cutely while biting a meat bun in his mouth.

Da Xiong and Chen Liang were speechless…

“What are you waiting for?” Helian Wei Wei raised her brow and marched toward them.

Da Xiong instantly burst into tears, crying, “Ahhh, boss, both of us lost again!” The Seventh Prince was merely a toddler who could barely walk properly, how could he have such Herculean strength? Both of them were gigantic three-feet men, how could they continue living with shame like this? It was simply a crushing defeat for them.

Helian Wei Wei laughed evilly and ‘comforted’ them, “It’s fine. He’s still young, both of you are 15 years older than him. He can’t steal your girlfriends no matter how good he is.”

Da Xiong and Chen Liang were rendered speechless again…

The more their boss ‘comforted’ them, the more they felt that their lives were a failure.

“Third Aunt, I carried firewood for you too.” The Seventh Prince was eternally bursting with passion, and he seemed like a mini grown-up when he spoke.

Da Xiong and Chen Liang were extremely taken by surprise!

“Your Highness, please put it down. Let us carry the firewood instead!”

“Yes, let us do it!”

We need to stop being decadent and show them our worth!

Little Seventh Prince stopped and stood still, staring at them arrogantly as he said warningly, “Be careful, make sure you don’t scatter Third Aunt’s firewood.”

“No, of course, we won’t…”

Thud!

Da Xiong and Chen Liang had dropped the firewood on the floor during their scuffle. They froze, staring at the firewood scattered on the ground, and exclaimed, “Are we that dumb?”

The little one glanced at both of them and did not bother to nag them. He bent over and picked up the firewood with his toes, one by one, onto his shoulder. Then, he carried all of them in a huge bundle and left.

The sight that unfolded was witnessed by the entire crowd. The little one walked over in the front, carrying the firewood on his left shoulder and holding a big iron wok with his right hand. Two gigantic men followed quietly behind, holding nothing in their hands…

Governor Chen saw it and quickly pulled his son toward him, “Liang Zi, how can you let the Little Seventh Prince carry so much stuff?”

Chen Liang opened his mouth, trying to explain.

However, his father quickly interjected, “Even if we ignore his identity, he is still a child! How have I taught you? You have to respect the elders and love the children! You, you are such a disappointment!”

Chen Liang had not uttered a word, but he could feel the piercing gaze from the surrounding onlookers. Their disapproving eyes were just like his father’s.

“Little Seventh Prince, please say something to help us!” he cried.

Little Seventh Prince ignored him, pointing his finger at a crab as he asked Helian Wei Wei, “Third Aunt, the crab that the grandfather is holding is so big, it looks really delicious.”

Helian Wei Wei glanced at the direction of his finger and casually asked, “Old man, are you selling the crab?”

Her tone was calm but very respectful. After all, she was simply doing business, she would not treat him differently because of his status.

The old man never thought the new boss of Bayview Seafood Restaurant was Lord Wei, the person who overthrew the Liao family. His feelings became even more complicated, and his expression was filled with uncertainty.

Helian Wei Wei did not force him, saying, “You can consider for a moment first.” Then, she turned around and ordered quietly, “Da Xiong, Chen Liang, light up the firewood and set up the wok”.

“Yes!”

The two of them seemed highly motivated!

One of them would be responsible for holding Little Seventh Prince back, while the other would burn the firewood and set up the wok.

This time, we must not let the Seventh Prince steal our job or we will be cast aside!

This truly proved that Da Xiong and Chen Liang were overly imaginative…

Little Seventh Prince paid no attention to them. His huge, fiery eyes widened as he ogled excitedly at the crabs, shrimps, and kelp around him.

Only one word was flooding his mind. Food! These are all food!

Pluck!

The first firewood was ignited.

Everybody turned their eyes toward the Bayview Seafood Restaurant.

Most of them were still wondering why Helian Wei Wei had brought a wok out.

The two merchants aforementioned exchanged quick glances with one another and showed Helian Wei Wei what the wooden barrel contained, saying, “These are the freshest seafood here. We have a sea fish, two lobsters, and two crabs. Lord, this seems far more complicated than we initially thought. The villagers are not very willing to do business with us because of the previous Bayview Seafood Restaurant incident.”

“Hmm, I can understand.” Helian Wei Wei replied calmly as if she had already expected this outcome, “Don’t worry, somebody will do business with us very soon. Please move this barrel and place it in front of the chopping board.”

“Yes!”

Everybody had something to do, even Little Seventh Prince was kneeling on the ground and dutifully watching the crabs crawling about.

The shadow guards were originally worried that the Seventh Prince might eat whatever he saw. However, they were relieved when they saw him.

They kneeled down on one knee, reporting, “Master, everything is normal,”

Baili Jia Jue was in the teahouse across the street, fiddling with a ceramic cup in his hand, as his black, elegant eyes darted around, scanning over the crowd beneath him. Then, with a little smirk on his face, he uttered in an effortlessly regal voice, “She has moved all the kitchen utensils out to the front. Do you call this normal?”
