Butler Shi is the former butler of the Lu family and the grandfather of Shi Liaoliao. He has passed away and is buried in the western suburbs. Before his death, he advised Lu Yanzhou that Shi Liaoliao does not like to talk and should be treated as mute. His legacy influences Lu Yanzhou's initial perception of Shi Liaoliao. The mention of his burial site prompts Lu Yanzhou to make a dark joke about comparing the age of fried chicken to his foot calluses.
