Chapter 257: Banggeng's Small Mind
With the advent of reform and opening up, vegetable greenhouses began to be built in the suburbs of the old city like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. Thanks to these vegetable greenhouses, Li Shengli's small restaurant is no longer particularly short of vegetables.

Even in winter, fresh vegetables have started to be sold in the vegetable markets in the old city. Li Shengli got up early as usual and prepared to go to the vegetable market to buy the fresh vegetables he would need for the day. Now that everyone's living conditions have improved, more people are buying vegetables early in the morning. If he doesn't go there early, it will not be his turn to buy the fresh vegetables in the morning.

After leaving his house, Li Shengli put two bamboo baskets on both sides of his bicycle. Li Shengli was already considering whether he should buy a tricycle.

Li Shengli pushed his bicycle towards the door. Just after he walked out of the gate of the courtyard, Li Shengli found Bang Geng coming towards him from the opposite side. Seeing Bang Geng yawning from time to time and holding some breakfast in his hand, Li Shengli was quite puzzled. Did Bang Geng go out to steal?

Li Shengli ignored Bang Geng and rode past him on his bicycle, pretending not to see the man.

Bang Geng squinted his eyes and looked at Li Shengli's back. With Jia Zhang's words and deeds of swearing at home, Bang Geng didn't have a very good impression of Li Shengli. At this time, Bang Geng remembered that during the Chinese New Year, he wanted to pry open the door of Li Shengli's house but failed. In addition, both his grandmother and mother at home envied how rich Li Shengli's family was.

Banggeng immediately had an idea in his mind and planned to teach Li Shengli a lesson.

But he will have to live in this compound in the future. As the saying goes, even rabbits don't eat grass near their burrows.

There are people coming and going in this compound all day long. He has not yet planned to attack Li Shengli's house. Banggeng plans to practice on Li Shengli's restaurant first.

Lee Seung-ri, who was out buying groceries, didn't notice that Bang-geng had targeted his restaurant, but he wouldn't care even if he did. He would take the day's cash flow home every day. After all, his home was safer than a restaurant.

Li Shengli first went to the vegetable market to buy the vegetables he needed for today. On the way to the cafeteria by bike, Li Shengli felt more and more that something was wrong. Looking at his bicycle loaded with vegetables, Li Shengli thought to himself that as a boss and chef, he also had to be responsible for a series of purchasing matters. Why did he feel that he was getting busier and busier?

After delivering the vegetables back to the store, Li Shengli decided to take his two new apprentices with him when buying vegetables in the future. He taught them carefully again how to select and cut vegetables and finally cook them.

Because Li Shengli was worried about something at the moment, he kept thinking about other things when he was resting after work today, and he looked a little absent-minded.

"Master, why are you so absent-minded today?" Fang Yonglin and Liu Haoyuan looked at each other, and then Fang Yonglin asked after Liu Haoyuan's eye contact.

"Oh, nothing." Li Shengli, whose thoughts were interrupted, said perfunctorily.

"By the way, you two should discuss it. Starting tomorrow, you two will take turns following me to the market to buy vegetables. Let's see who will go first." Li Shengli suddenly spoke to his two apprentices as if he remembered something. However, he did not say that he wanted to teach them the skill of identifying and buying vegetables. He just wanted to see what they would think.

If they complain in their hearts and say one thing in public and another behind their backs, Lee Seung-ri will no longer teach them anything.

"Okay, Master." Neither of them had any complaints and agreed without hesitation.

After a day's work, Li Shengli found his two apprentices.

"Have you discussed it? Who will go shopping with me tomorrow?" Li Shengli looked at the two people in front of him. Li Shengli did not hear any complaints from them all day.

I barely passed this level.

"Master, I will go with you tomorrow." Fang Yonglin glanced at Liu Haoyuan and told him what they had discussed today.

"Okay, wait for me at the entrance of Dongdan Vegetable Market at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning." Li Shengli stated the specific time and place. It didn't matter who went first. As long as they didn't complain and didn't say one thing in front of them and another behind their backs, Li Shengli would teach them some real skills.

After agreeing on a time, Li Shengli locked the door of the shop and rushed home with a lot on his mind. Banggeng estimated the time in the courtyard and planned to go out after Li Shengli came back. He had already made plans that when Li Shengli came back, his restaurant would close.

Li Shengli walked to the gate of the courtyard and saw a man standing at the gate of the courtyard, staring at the alley he was walking on. After seeing him, Bang Geng turned around and went back to the courtyard.

Lee Seung-ri was full of questions after seeing this series of actions. What was this guy planning?
Banggeng saw Lee Seung-ri coming back on his bike, and he went back to the Central Courtyard and said hello to his family who was watching TV.

"Mom, I'm going out." After saying that, Banggeng turned around and walked out. There was no time to waste.

"Hey, wait a minute, where are you going so late?" Qin Huairu shouted anxiously.

"I'm going to my classmate's house." Banggeng walked out anxiously without looking back.

"Then come back earlier. It's very chaotic outside recently." Qin Huairu shouted at the back of Banggeng as he walked away.

Li Shengli, who had just entered the house, heard Qin Huairu's shouting, and thought to himself that Banggeng went out so late, who knows if he was going to steal something.

Banggeng did not answer Qin Huairu's words. When passing by Li Shengli's house, he glared at Li Shengli's house fiercely.

"Hey, where is this guy going so late at night?" Qin Huairu was still a little worried at home.

"Mom, you don't have to worry about this. It's normal for my brother to have a girlfriend and go out to play." Xiao Dang comforted Qin Huairu without turning his head while watching TV.

"Yes, Mom, my brother didn't often come home late before." Huaihua didn't care much.

Xiaodang and Huaihua have a little understanding of what their brother is doing. He is the only one who bullies others and no one else can bully him.

Although Qin Huairu was still a little worried after hearing what Xiaodang and Huaihua said, he could no longer care about Banggeng's affairs.

Banggeng walked out of the courtyard, dodging patrols along the way and headed straight for Li Shengli's restaurant.

When they arrived at Li Shengli's restaurant, there was no one around. Banggeng was very brave. He pretended to be the owner of the restaurant and poked the wire into the keyhole of the door lock on the door.

Seen from behind, Bang Geng looks like he is using a key to open a lock.

Maybe Banggeng really has some talent. With a "click", the door lock of the restaurant was quickly poked open by Banggeng using a piece of wire.

Bang Geng almost laughed out loud, luckily he still remembered that he was doing a bad thing and couldn't make too much noise. Bang Geng pushed the door open and got in, then closed the door again. From the outside, no one knew that a thief had entered the house.

As soon as Bang Geng entered the store, he went straight to the restaurant counter. Normally, the money is placed on the counter.

But to Bang Geng's disappointment, there was not a penny in the drawer of the counter, only some miscellaneous items.
