Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Chapter 581 Leftovers Are Not Leftovers
"Master, this time is really thanks to you. If you hadn't stopped Sha Zhu in time, I don't know what Xie Cheng's wedding would have been like."

Yan Bugui supported Yan Jiecheng, turned his head, and spoke to Wang Weidong with a grateful face.

"This is what I should do as a courtyard man." Wang Weidong nodded.If Shazhu beat Yan Xiecheng violently outside, even if Yan Xiecheng beat Yan Xiecheng to a cripple, he would not make a move.But it is different in the courtyard house. As the uncle of the courtyard house, he has to bear corresponding responsibilities while being respected by the residents because of this status.

At this time, Yan Jiecheng had been beaten bruised and swollen, his mouth was broken, his hair was messy, there was a wound on his eye, and there was blood at the corner of his mouth.

The new Chinese tunic suit on his body was also torn.

How embarrassing it looks, how embarrassing it is.

Seeing this, the third mother was so distressed that she jumped up and scolded: "Damn silly Zhu, he is a lunatic, today is the day of our family's big wedding, he beat us like this, and There is no reason! No, I have to report to the police station."

"Okay, I'll go to the police station later and let them take Sha Zhu away."

It was a good thing to send Silly Zhu in, so Wang Weidong naturally nodded in agreement.

Unexpectedly, Huang Xiaocui, who had been sitting on the bed watching the play, stood up at this moment.

She gracefully walked up to Wang Weidong, and said softly, "My lord, our family was beaten by a silly Zhu, and my heart aches so badly that I wish I could send him to the fence, but today is ours." Great day. If the police station is alarmed, I’m afraid.”

Speaking of this, Huang Xiaocui paused, and continued: "The influence is not very good."

"I just got married, and I brought disaster to my husband. If it spreads, someone will definitely chew their ears."

"This..." Wang Weidong frowned.He was a little confused about Huang Xiaocui's intentions.

In this era, breaking superstition is in full swing, even if someone is jealous of Huang Xiaocui's beauty, they dare not call her Kefu.

The reason why Huang Xiaocui didn't want to report to the police station must be for another reason.

It's just that due to the lack of key information, he couldn't guess it for a while.

Yan Bugui was born before liberation, and he had always believed in these things, his face turned pale with fright, and he looked at Wang Weidong and said.

"Grandpa, they are all residents of the same compound. Although silly Zhu is too much, there is no need to send him into the fence."

"Also, when Old He left, I also promised him to take care of Sha Zhu and He Yushui."

The three mothers also echoed: "Yes, yes, today is Xie Cheng's big day. It was originally a happy event, so there is no need to make such an unpleasant incident."

Since the Yan family didn't pursue the matter, Wang Weidong would not take the initiative to stand up for them: "Okay, then it's decided like this. Xie Cheng, hurry up and wash it, change your clothes, and you have to toast your relatives and friends later."

Huang Xiaocui glanced at Wang Weidong reluctantly, turned around and helped Yan Jiecheng walk to the back room.

At this time, the young people who were making trouble in the bridal chamber in the house lost their interest when they saw that things had turned out like this, and wandered out of the house.

When attending a wedding banquet, there are two eternal themes, one is to have a bridal chamber, and the other is to have a banquet.

Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangtian didn't even eat breakfast in the morning, just to have a big meal at the banquet.

Although it was not yet noon, they were already hungry.

"Let's go to the cook to get some food."

The two brothers rubbed their stomachs, smiled at each other, and walked quickly to the door.

Wedding banquets these days are not so particular, especially for wedding banquets like Yan Bugui who hold a banquet in front of their own house, guests can go to the cook to get some food at any time.

"Hot and sour cabbage, it smells good."

"Look, how delicious this little cabbage is fried."

"My dear, the radish slices are all the same thickness, this cook is amazing!"

The two brothers took chopsticks and tasted the dishes one by one. It has to be said that Nanyi, as a chef, has a level of cooking skills that surpasses that of Shazhu.

Rao only had green vegetables, which also made Liu Guangfu a feast.

But after taking a few mouthfuls, Liu Guangfu felt something was wrong.

He stopped his chopsticks and pushed Liu Guangqi who was picking up Chinese cabbage: "Hey, don't you think something is missing?"

Liu Guangqi put down the bowl and chopsticks and scratched his head: "What?"

His eyes scanned the dishes for a long time, his face suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but exclaim.

"My God, there's no meat!"

That's right, the plates on the table were full of vegetables, and even with a magnifying glass, it was impossible to find any minced meat.

If it's a home-cooked dish, it's okay if there is no meat dish, after all, life is hard for big guys these days.

but.

This is a wedding banquet, and each of the big guys paid a full [-] cents as a gift. There is no meat, so it makes sense!

Liu Guangqi's call quickly alarmed the guests who came to the wedding banquet, and everyone gathered around.

"Really, there's not even any meat!"

"The Yan family is really too much. I haven't eaten for two days, so I just pointed out that I had a big meal at noon today."

"Tsk tsk, I've attended seven or eight wedding banquets today, and this is the first time I've seen one without meat."

"Yan Laogou, Yan Laogou, you are so shrewd in your calculations!"

These days, meat is in short supply, and meat tickets are needed to buy it.

Most people can't get meat tickets at all on weekdays.

However, people who hold weddings and funerals can apply to the street office, and the street office will distribute a certain amount of meat tickets to them.

The guests came to the wedding banquet, on the one hand, to congratulate the couple, and on the other hand, to eat meat.

Now there is no meat, it is really unbearable!
"Come on, let's talk to Yan Bugui!"

I don't know who took the lead, the guests all rushed into Yan's house.

At this time, Wang Weidong was sitting on a chair drinking tea, and he was shocked when he saw so many people coming in.

"Da Mao, what's going on?"

"The Yan family didn't provide meat and vegetables this time." Xu Damao recounted what he saw outside just now.

Wang Weidong's eyes widened suddenly, good guy, Yan Pugui didn't even want face in order to save money.

Judging by the posture of the guests, it is impossible to hold the banquet today without talking about it.

Fortunately, after listening to Guan Tingting's advice this morning, I was full.

Wang Weidong was also happy to watch the excitement, sipping tea from an enamel mug.

Yan Bugui next to him felt a little uncomfortable, looking at the guests surrounding him, his forehead was dripping with sweat.

"Everyone, everyone, listen to my explanation!"

"Explanation? Can explanations be eaten as meat? We don't listen to explanations, we want to eat meat!"

The older ones among the guests, caring about Yan's family's face, did not act excessively, those young lads could not control so much.

"Everyone, calm down first."

"Calm down? How can we be calm without meat?!"

"Yeah, we're going to eat meat!"

"Master Yan, if you don't give an explanation, don't even think about having a banquet today!"

Yan Bugui was so anxious that he almost burst into tears. He never expected that just that bit of meat would be so attractive to the guests.

No wonder.

Yan Bugui often went fishing, and every time he could get a few fishes, and occasionally had a tooth-making sacrifice, he was not so gluttonous.

It's different for others. If you can't eat a bite of meat all year round, you'll be too hungry for a long time.

Yan Bugui is too late to regret it now, if he had known this was the result, he would have gritted his teeth and bought half a catty of meat.

But it was almost ten o'clock in the morning, and even if I wanted to buy meat, the meat in the vegetable market was sold out.

On the one hand, there is the dilemma of not being able to buy meat, and on the other hand, the guests who must eat meat, the situation has fallen into a stalemate.

Just when Yan Bugui didn't know what to do, a crisp voice came from behind the crowd.

"Father, my uncle has meat at home. If you don't mind, I will go to my uncle's house by bicycle and get some."

The voice was like the sounds of nature echoing in Yan Bugui's ears. Yan Bugui raised his head and looked at Huang Xiaocui with emotion.

"Xiaocui, thank you, dad, thank you so much."

"Father, you are welcome, we are all a family, there is no need to distinguish so clearly."

Huang Xiaocui smiled, then turned to look at Yan Jiefang: "Brother Jiefang, can you and sister-in-law go get the meat together?"

"Yes, yes." Yan Jiefang nodded hastily.

The two left the courtyard on bicycles, and within half an hour, they brought back about four or five catties of meat.

"Father, I'm sorry, you also know that meat can't be stored for a long time, and my godfather doesn't have much meat at home."

"Son, don't say such things, dad really wants to thank you this time."

Looking at the brightly colored flesh, Yan Bugui's eyes became moist.

He sighed in his heart, Xie Cheng really married a good wife this time!

He is beautiful, has a rich family background, and is very capable.

It's good luck to solve this kid.

When the guests saw that there was meat to eat, they also praised Huang Xiaocui.

"Look, how good Yan Jiecheng's daughter-in-law is."

"Yeah, Yan Jiecheng is really lucky. The former daughter-in-law Yu Li is very good."

"With Huang Xiaocui in the Yan family, the future will definitely be more prosperous."

With the meat, Nanyi also breathed a sigh of relief, took out what he had learned in his life, and used the four or five catties of meat to make more than a dozen delicious dishes.

Yan Jiecheng's wedding banquet ended with the compliments of the guests.

Nanyi is preparing to take the rest of the dishes back according to the previous agreement.

Although there are not many dishes left, most of them are cabbage and radishes, but they can also let the children fill their stomachs.

Yan Bugui, who was seeing off the guests, saw Nanyi putting vegetables in the bag, and strode up to Nanyi without bothering to greet the guests.

"Master Nan, I'm sorry, those dishes are not leftovers, you can't take them away."

These words made Nan Yi dry, he looked at the radish in his hand, then raised his head, and looked at Yan Pugui with a puzzled expression.

"Third Master, these dishes are leftovers, why do you say they are not leftovers! Are you trying to play tricks?"

"Ahem, what nonsense are you kidding! I, Lao Yan, am an old teacher and the third master of a courtyard house. How can I play tricks!" Yan Bugui's small eyes behind the tortoiseshell frame blinked: "The leftovers have been taken away by the guests Let’s eat, the dishes in your hands are not leftovers!”

"The ones that were eaten are leftovers, these are not leftovers." Nanyi seemed to understand Yan Pugui's thinking a little bit.

"That's right, that's right, I've made an appointment with Lao Wang in the vegetable market in advance for these dishes, and I can return them to him." Yan Bugui nodded heavily.

Nan Yi clutched the radish and stood there in the cold wind. Even though he was ignorant of the world, he knew at this moment that he had fallen into a trap designed by Yan Bugui in advance.

The leftovers are eaten, and the ones that are not eaten are not leftovers and must be returned to the grocery buyer, that is to say, he cannot take anything away.

He has been busy all day in vain for his feelings!
Clay figurines are still hot, let alone Nanyi, a chef.

He grabbed the carrot and stared at Yan Bugui with wide eyes: "Yan Bugui, are you kidding me!"

"Ahem, look at you child, what are you talking about, we agreed before, you come to cook the noodles, we don't pay, you are allowed to take the leftovers away, now there are no leftovers, we have What does it matter." Yan Bugui shook his head and said, "I heard that you came from a family of royal chefs, so you should know that what you say is like a nail."

"You're lying!" Nan Yi glared at Yan Pugui.

"Haha." Yan Bugui's hearty laughter sounded: "So what if you play tricks? Anyway, neither of us has lost money."

As he said that, his face became cold, and he said threateningly: "Also, it is illegal to do private work. If you dare to make a big fuss, I will sue you at the rolling mill."

Nanyi has been a cook for so many years, and he has done a lot of private work, and he has never met such a master.

But he couldn't ignore Yan Bugui's threat.

The director of the canteen is also aware of the private work of the cooks, but he just turns a blind eye.

If Yan Bugui reported to the rolling mill, even the director would not be able to keep Nanyi.

Nan Yi was a very arrogant person in the past, he would rather bend than bend. He could be fined to clean the toilet for not yielding to the deputy factory manager.

but.

Now he is not alone, he has a wife and children to support.

If he lost his job in the canteen at the rolling mill, how would he support his wife and children.

For a moment, various thoughts flashed through Nan Yi's mind, and finally he gritted his teeth and endured it.

"Okay, okay, Yan Bugui, you're fine."

"Of course, of course I'm fine, hahaha~"

Seeing that Nanyi had subdued, Yan Bugui smiled excitedly.

He looked at the three moms behind him: "Did you see that? Today I saved at least two yuan for our Yan family!"

"Awesome, if it comes to calculations, no one in the whole capital is as good as you!" The third mother gave a thumbs up.

Nanyi left the courtyard and walked in the cold wind pushing his bicycle.

I've been busy all day and haven't earned a penny, so what should I tell Liang Ladi when I go back!

Liang Ladi is now pregnant and needs nutritional supplements to replenish her body.
Alas, life is hard!
Just when Nanyi looked at the fallen leaves fluttering in the wind on the side of the road, he was deeply moved.

A voice came from behind.

"What? Was played by Yan Pugui?"

It was Wang Weidong who came.

He had seen Yan Bugui arguing with Nanyi just now, so he deliberately waited here for Nanyi.

"It's Factory Director Liu, it's really been played." Nanyi smiled wryly, with a trace of doubt on his face: "Director Liu, tell me why some people in this world have such bad hearts!"
