"We already ate."
Jiang Xiaobai looked at the stall Ma Liu and the others had prepared and laughed, "You guys are really willing to invest, huh? You could just keep it simple. Get a pot and start cooking. You spent a lot on this setup, didn't you?"
Da Gao used to work at a big restaurant. He doesn't fuss about most things, but he's particular when it comes to cooking and dishes, using only high-quality cookware like pots and spatulas.
"Da Gao said we need to have the proper tools ready, or we won't be able to work efficiently," Ma Liu laughed.
Jiang Xiaobai said, "Work hard. Oh, by the way, if anyone comes to ask for protection fees, just give them what they ask for. Don't argue. Remember, you're here to make money, not like before when you were running wild."
Ma Liu said, "Got it, got it. We know the rules better than you do, brother."
Jiang Xiaobai said, "This spot is just like any other restaurant. It'll get busy around mealtime. Are your ingredients prepared?"
