National Tide 1980.

Chapter 626 Fighting poison with poison
Obviously it was a good thing, but Ning Weimin has been unhappy for several days since the No. [-] courtyard of Dongsi Sitiao was completely vacated.

I don't know why, but my heart is full of panic.

He kept thinking about the pitiful appearance of the old lady who owned the house and the desolation of Uncle Zhai when he picked up old things.

For this reason, he kept telling himself repeatedly that if someone gets something, someone will lose it.

Although the zero-sum game advocated by the West seems cruel, sometimes this is an unavoidable reality.

At least the problem with the house is like this, it is impossible to satisfy everyone.

After all, there is only one Dongsi Sitiao No. [-] Courtyard in the world, and no one can conjure up another one out of thin air.

Then if this courtyard house falls into my hands, others will disappear, which is normal.

Although the old lady's family lost the pain of that yard, he could empathize with it.

But he can't be polite about this matter.

Could it be that the precious courtyard house that I finally obtained can still be given up?
What's more, it was originally the old lady who found him and begged him to buy the house.

He is helping others, so can you blame him?
It's the same with Uncle Zhai.

Although the old man had a quarrel with his son and caused family conflicts, it was indeed inseparable from him.

But in the final analysis, moving is just an incentive.

This matter basically has to be blamed on his son's ignorance, ignorance of the old father's heart, and ignorance of Uncle Zhai's real needs.

He has already done what he can do, enough to put himself in the shoes of the Zhai family, what else can he do?

Frankly speaking, whether it is the old lady of the landlady or Uncle Zhai, if there is anything wrong with them, it is their lack of ability.

That's why I can't protect what I want.

To put it bluntly, this can only be attributed to the powerlessness of the people at the bottom for their lives.

As a weak person in life, he can only face such an objective reality, which is the same everywhere in the world.

It was their luck to meet someone as soft-hearted as him...

However, this kind of self-comfort, which is similar to self-hypnosis, seems to have little effect.

I don't know what happened, but he seems to have become as soft-hearted as a woman, and he is still immersed in negative emotions and can't let go.

Therefore, he had to break the original plan, and no longer waited for the day when all the houses in the Majia Garden would be returned and renovated.

He decided to tell Kang Shuode the good news of taking back Ma's Garden in advance.

It's good to take advantage of the old man's joy of regaining his loss to offset the uneasiness and awkwardness in his heart, so as to obtain peace of mind.

This can be regarded as fighting poison with poison.

On the afternoon of April 4th, Ning Weimin got off work early and came back to No. 30 courtyard of Fan'er Hutong.

When entering the house, he first put the two jars of Jimo old wine and court pastries brought to Kang Shuode on the table of the Eight Immortals.

Then he searched around and found that the old man was resting on an armchair near the window in the back room with his eyes closed and a newspaper lying beside him.

He walked over, deliberately knocked on the door of the inner room, and said a word as if he was bored.

"Grandpa, do you have anything to eat? If you don't have any ready-made ones, just make a bite. Cook a bowl of noodles, just a couple of eggs..."

Kang Shude was woken up by his noise.

Opening her eyes slightly, she took a quick look at him, seeing his hot skin, she couldn't help feeling angry.

"Why are you pretending to be a wolf with a big tail? You are a big manager of a dignified restaurant, how can you still be hungry? Tell yourself, what is the difference between you and a beggar now? Are you decent? You don't think it's shabby."

"Besides, it's only five o'clock in the afternoon. It's an inappropriate hour. Let me cook some noodles for you! Sincerely, you..."

"Hey, I slept soundly. You messed it up for me. Play with a spoon for me. I'll punish you for cooking for me at night..."

Kang Shuode recounted, sighed and closed his eyes again, as if he was going to continue to doze off.

But when Ning Weimin provoked the old man, it would be so easy.

He knocked on the door loudly again, and continued to be provocative with a playful smile on his face.

"Old man, tomorrow is May Day. I came back early on purpose to spend the holiday with you. Is that how you treat me? I'm so chilled. You don't miss me at all?"

"Okay, didn't you just ignore me, then I won't deal with it today. Let me tell you, I can't get rid of noodles today. I want to eat fried noodles."

"You have to prepare all the four cold and four hot ones for me. And you have to stretch the noodles yourself. I don't eat the cut noodles from the grain store."

The "stir-fried noodles" mentioned by Ning Weimin is not something like "lentil stewed noodles" or "chowder fried pancakes".

It is a kind of civilian banquet unique to the people of the capital in order to cope with weddings and funerals.

Although it belongs to the Zhuangguan, it is disdainful to do it, and the "waiting table" that only Kouzichu and his family can cook, but it also has unique exquisiteness.

What is chow mein?

First of all, to eat noodles, you must prepare a bowl of stewed noodles and a bowl of sauce, that is, two kinds of stewed noodles and fried noodles.

The top-quality brine can be seen with mushrooms, sea cucumbers, pork belly and tenderloin slices, etc.

The poor ones use ordinary mushrooms, yellow flowers, fungus, and ordinary meat slices.

The worst is tomato and egg stew or eggplant stew.

Then there must be at least four and a half vegetarian dishes.

For example, stir-fried celery with shredded pork, fried tomatoes with eggs, sliced ​​pork with cucumber, and a vegetable dish such as fried bean sprouts or green and white snake.

The principle is to focus on seasonal dishes, and by the way, it can also be used as a noodle code for eating fried noodles.

If you are a more affluent family, you can add four cold dishes.

Generally, it is fried peanuts, preserved eggs, cold jellyfish skin, rice noodle sausage or sauced meat, etc.

If you are a higher class, you can add four more meat dishes.

There are also four kinds of braised sea cucumber, fried shrimp, sweet and sour carp, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, rice noodle meat, and stewed pork ribs.

Finally, drink some wine.

The people in the capital have high or low family backgrounds, and they often see the truth based on the contents of these banquets.

This kind of banquet is more troublesome to make. What is lacking is grade and taste, but what is more affordable and sincere.

Especially for small-scale family banquets, the host and the invited guests often arrange it together.

Just like making dumplings for the Chinese New Year, everyone chatted and communicated happily while laughing, each showing their skills.

So, Ning Weimin proposed to eat this, in fact, in a way of teasing, revealing that he wanted to find trouble for Kang Shude.

"Old man, let me tell you to hurry up, don't get up and make trouble now, and it will be time for dinner later, but there will be no time for dinner..."

Listening to the apprentice's request.

Kang Shude didn't lift his eyelids at all, he just snorted coldly.

"Good boy, don't you want to challenge me? I owe you what I owe you? Return the fried noodles? The tone is not small. If you want to go, you dream of marrying a wife. Close your eyes and sleep for a long time. There is everything in the dream..."

"Aren't you bored? Eating your stir-fried noodles has become a wishful thinking. It's not a swallow's wing banquet. I have gone through such a lot of trouble and run around for you, and I am a little wronged... ..."

As Ning Weimin said, he took out a big thick envelope from his purse, shaking it in his hand as if showing off.

"Grandpa, please open your eyes and twitch. Look at what this is. I have brought back your two yards and hundreds of rooms for you. Shouldn't you be rewarded! Eat your fried noodles What's the matter? Tell me yourself, do I have the qualifications?"

At this moment, Kang Shude heard that the words were wrong, but he opened his eyes, and was taken aback when he saw the things in his hand.

"What is in your hand?"

"Hey, what could it be? Isn't it just the photo of Ma's garden that I want to take back. Everyone has moved, and I took this photo for restoration and restoration."

Ning Weimin smiled and showed off his achievements. "I really listen, Master, I am lucky enough to bring back two-thirds of the Ma Family Garden for you as your apprentice. Congratulations, you are now the first and second richest man in the capital. Can stand up to the three ministers..."

Kang Shude's eyes widened and he jumped up, snatching the envelope from Ning Weimin's hand.

He flipped through the photos one by one, his eyes widened in disbelief.

Not only the wrinkled hands, but even the gray beard and purple lips trembled.

"Really, really...really back! My room...my yard..."

At this moment, Ning Weimin finally got what he wanted, and felt a kind of long-lost comfort and satisfaction.

He was convinced that the prescription he had prescribed for himself was correct.
