Siheyuan: Start with a big car

Chapter 382 The Yan Family's Meat Is Lost
Just as Li Weidong expected, Qin Huairu did not dare to expose the fact that Chen Yuanyuan dribbled the ball into someone in front of everyone.

Instead, like a real matchmaker, he was busy in Yan's house.

Her dedicated performance attracted unanimous praise from the residents.

Several families planned to hire Qin Huairu as a matchmaker after the wedding banquet.

No matter in which age, the most important thing is the banquet.

How intoxicated the bridegroom and the new daughter-in-law are at this beautiful moment, I hope time can stop at this beautiful moment.

The guests next to them had only one thought, and that was when the food would be served.

At this time, the cook is extremely important.

It's just that this important person today seems a little dazed.

Nan Yi squatted among a large pile of cabbage and radishes, looking a little hopeless.

He felt a little regretful in his heart. If he had known that the Yan family was so stingy, he shouldn't have taken over the work of the Yan family.

Nan Yi also knew something about the Yan family's reputation.

What a shrewd plan.

If you don't pick up money when you go out, you will lose it.

What big dung trucks pass by should taste salty.

As a cook, the most fearful thing is that the master is stingy.

Without ingredients, even the best cook is helpless.

It's just that when Yan Jiecheng came to the door with the can of tea, Nanyi found that he couldn't say the word "refusal".

He remembered that Ding Qiunan liked to drink tea the most.

Ding Qiunan would definitely be happy if the century-old Dragon Well was given to Ding Qiunan.

Thinking about it this way, Nanyi can only go against his will for the next job.

He thought, today is a big day for the Yan family, no matter how stingy Yan Pugui is, he would not be reluctant to buy ingredients.

As it turned out, he was still too young.

After greeting the guests, Yan Jiefang, chief executive of the wedding banquet, came to inspect the work in front of the fire stove.

Seeing Nanyi sitting there blankly, he immediately became anxious.

"Master Nan, it's almost noon, hurry up and cook!"

"Fried vegetables?" Nan Yi pointed to those green vegetables and said, "Just these things, do you want me to cook a table of vegetables for you?"

"Oh, so it's because of the ingredients."

Yan Jie breathed a sigh of relief, walked over with a smile, picked up a white radish, and said with a smile: "Look, there are four kinds of vegetables here: white radish, carrot, Chinese cabbage, and small cabbage."

"Each dish, fried separately, is four plates."

"Then."

"White radish and carrots are a dish."

"Stir-fried white radish with carrots is a dish."

"Stir-fried Chinese cabbage with small cabbage."

"Stir-fried cabbage with Chinese cabbage is a dish."

"Stir-fried white radish with Chinese cabbage is a dish."

"Look, so many dishes, isn't it enough?"

In the blink of an eye, Yan Jiecheng listed more than a dozen dishes.

Nan Yi was dumbfounded.

He has been a cook for so many years, and this is the first time he has encountered such a stingy person.

Nan Yi swallowed: "Won't the guests be angry if you do this?"

"Angry? Heh, why are you angry!" Yan Jiecheng pinched his waist with both hands: "They each handed over fifty cents as a gift, and they still have the face to be angry."

Fifty cents is a lot.

The dining tables in this era are all Eight Immortals tables, and each table usually seats four people, and if it is squeezed, it can seat eight people.

People at this table can contribute a gift money of 4 yuan.

Take 2 yuan out of it, and Nanyi can make several plates of meat dishes.

It's just that the owner arranged it this way, and the cook just listened to it.

Nanyi nodded, and was about to get up, when he seemed to think of something again, he turned to look at Yan Jiecheng.

"What about the woman's relatives? You can't let them have a vegetarian feast too?"

"Of course not." Yan Jiecheng looked around, seeing that no one was paying attention, he dug out a piece of fat from under a pile of vegetables.

He said proudly: "Did you see it? It's a full two catties. Wait a minute, you can use this piece of meat to fry a few meat dishes alone."

"."

Nanyi was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, what do you say, what should I do!"

Seeing Nanyi's cooperation, Yan Jiecheng shouted excitedly: "Yan Jiekuang, Yan Jiedi, light a fire!"

Faint green smoke rose from the two cauldrons built in front of Yan's house, and the green smoke scattered around, filling the courtyard with the smell of fireworks.

Li Weidong returned home with his hands behind his back, and Yu Li had already made breakfast.

Two bowls of cornmeal porridge with sweet potatoes in them, a plate of pickles and a plate of scrambled eggs.

These meals seem simple, but they are already rare in this era.

Only dual-career families like Li Weidong and Yu Li can enjoy it.

After taking a sip of the sweet porridge, Li Weidong remembered what happened to Yu Haitang and asked with a smile.

"Daughter-in-law, what's the situation with your sister?"

Speaking of Yu Haitang, Yu Li, who had been beaming just now, became gloomy.

Putting down the bowl and chopsticks, sighed: "I don't know which man has seduced this girl. Aunt Wang next door introduced her to a young man from a large courtyard. She refused even to meet her." gone."

"I forced Yu Haitang to tell the man's name, but Haitang refused to say anything."

As she said that, Yu Li became resentful, her eyes widened and rounded: "If you let me know who that man is, I'll tear him apart!"

"Cough cough."

Seeing Li Weidong coughing, Yu Li hurriedly stood up and helped him beat his back, complaining in a low voice, "How old is he, I can still choke on gruel."

I was not surprised by your words.
Li Weidong was a little guilty, and smiled: "It's okay, Yu Haitang is still young, so you have to persuade him slowly, and you can't use force."

He was really worried that Yu Haitang couldn't bear the pressure, so he confessed himself.

That's the end of the calf.

Fortunately, Yu Li's next sentence made Li Weidong feel relieved.

"Of course you can't do it, that's my own sister."

Yu Li drank two mouthfuls of porridge, then suddenly raised her head and stared at Li Weidong.

That look was a little creepy.

"Brother Weidong, why don't you go and persuade Haitang, she respects you the most."

Yu Li's words are not without basis.

Yu Jia, there can't be any bad words about Li Weidong, or Yu Haitang will get mad.

So much so that Yu's mother sometimes said that this girl Yu Haitang would definitely want to find a husband similar to her brother-in-law in the future.

If Li Weidong were to persuade Yu Haitang, maybe Yu Haitang would really listen.

Call ~
Heaving a sigh of relief, Li Weidong nodded: "Okay, if I'm not busy with work in a couple of days, I'll find time to talk to Yu Haitang."

"Brother Weidong, you are the best!"

Hearing this, Yu Li smiled.

"Hehe, we are a family, and Yu Haitang is also my younger sister, so it is only natural for me to care about her."

The two were chatting when there was a commotion outside.

"Where's the meat! Why is the meat I just washed gone!"

"Yan Jiefang, hurry up, hurry up, the meat is gone!"

"Meat? The Yan family actually bought meat this time?"

Yu Li froze for a moment, stood up and was about to go out.

"No, the Yan family has lost meat, and something serious may happen. I have to go and have a look."

"Let's go together."

Yu Li's body was getting heavier and heavier, and Li Weidong was a little worried, so he took out a coat to help her put it on, and the two came to the front yard together.

At this time, the front yard was already full of people.

Among the crowd, Nan Yi was holding a kitchen knife, his mouth was trembling, and his face was full of tears.

After cutting the vegetables, he was about to dispose of the two catties of fat, but they disappeared in the blink of an eye.

For ordinary people, it's nothing if they lose a little meat.

But the two catties of fat are for the distinguished guests.

If the family members of the new daughter-in-law thought they had been slighted because they could not eat delicious dishes, and then took the new daughter-in-law to leave the banquet angrily, then his sin would be serious.

At the wedding, because of the ceremony or other reasons, it is not unheard of to break up.

When Yan Jiefang heard the shout, he rushed out in a hurry, ignoring the excitement with his friends.

"Master Nan, what's the matter?"

"The meat is gone, I put it there just now."

Yan Jiefang looked along the tip of the knife, and sure enough, he saw a greasy trace on the chopping board.

At this time, Yan Bugui also came out with his hands behind his back, his face was as black as ink.

"The meat is gone, someone must have stolen it!"

Hearing this, the faces of the residents changed.

"What, stealing meat in front of so many people, this thief is really brave enough."

"You said it might be done by people from our compound."

"Impossible. We've been here for so many years, and we haven't even lost a thread. It must be someone from outside."

"The people outside are either friends of the Yan family or relatives of the Yan family, and they did such a thing."

For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the compound.

If you buy two catties of meat at the vegetable market, it costs nearly four yuan, and you have to ask for a meat ticket.

Even if you buy it quietly from the pigeon market, it costs three yuan and fifty cents.

This is already considered a major case.

As the second uncle, Yu Li turned her head to look, but did not find Qin Huairu in the crowd.

"Let let."

She strode in.

Yan Bugui's eyes lit up when he saw Yu Li: "Second uncle, Director Yu, you have to help our family, this piece of meat is for entertaining distinguished guests, if you can't find it, what about the luncheon banquet?"

As soon as these words came out, Yu Li was about to speak, but her voice was suppressed by the discussions of the surrounding residents.

"What, isn't that meat for us to cook?"

"Heh, I told you that Yan Bugui is not so generous as you. Let's see what dishes Master Nan cooks?"

"Good guy, stir-fry carrots with white radish, stir-fry Chinese cabbage with small cabbage, are we all rabbits in love?"

"The Yan family is really nothing!"

Amidst the discussion, Yan Pugui's expression did not change, but his eyes widened: "For a gift of fifty cents, do you still want to eat delicacies from mountains and seas?"

"Old Yan, when Li Weidong got married back then, we each paid [-] cents as a gift. At Li Weidong's banquet, there were three plates of meat and vegetables!"

"That's right, it's not that you want to make money through banquets."

"My son's banquet is full of radishes and cabbages, I don't think it's shameful!"

The people's discussion was like a sharp knife piercing into Yan Bugui's heart. He felt that the five internal organs were randomly twisted by the point of the knife, and the empty space in his abdomen made his face turn red, and he could hardly say no. Speak up.

Seeing that the situation is not going well, the third mother quickly stood up and said loudly: "The key to the problem now is to quickly find the piece of meat that was lost. As for the issue of vegetarian dishes, we will discuss it later."

Yan Bugui took a deep breath, regained his composure, and looked at Yu Li: "Comrade Yu Li, you are the second uncle of the courtyard house, and you are also working in the street. If you encounter such a thing, you can't ignore it."

Oh, is this glued?
Li Weidong was about to step forward, but Yu Li agreed without hesitation: "Don't worry, Third Master, if something is lost in the courtyard, we naturally have to find out."

Alas, this Yu Li is just too kind-hearted, and doesn't understand the dangers of the human heart.

Li Weidong didn't intend to take care of this matter at first, but for his own daughter-in-law, he had no choice but to step forward.

Seeing Li Weidong appearing, Yu Li seemed to think of something, smiled apologetically at Li Weidong, and whispered, "Brother Weidong, I seem to have made my own decisions again."

"Forget it, it's okay, isn't it just investigating cases? I'm good at it!"

Li Weidong is not bragging. He has experienced the Liu family's affairs for a while, and his detection skills, with the blessing of ten thousand times of experience, are already equivalent to the old police.

I saw Li Weidong walking slowly to Nanyi with his hands behind his back.

"Name?"

"???"

"Name!"

"Nan Yi."

"age?"

"33 is old."

"Hey, I'm old enough."

"."

Seeing Nanyi's face flushed, Li Weidong stopped chatting and turned the topic back to the theft case.

"Where is the fat hidden, when did you take it out, and who are around?"

"You, how do you know that fat is hidden."

Nanyi didn't like Li Weidong.

Although Li Weidong is married, it is impossible to have anything to do with Ding Qiunan.

However, the scene where Ding Qiunan distributed food to Li Weidong in the cafeteria was like a thorn in Nanyi's heart, which could never be pulled out again.

"It's not easy? Although Yan Bugui is stingy, he is not a fool. Fat is used to entertain distinguished guests. If the residents see it, they must make trouble with him."

Li Weidong smoked, pointed to the pile of green vegetables and said, "If I'm not wrong, the fat is hidden in the green vegetables, right?"

"You, how do you know?" Nan Yi was shocked.

Yan Bugui's eyes also became serious.

He was already prepared to find no meat.

It is impossible to entertain distinguished guests without meat.

In the courtyard, only Li Weidong's family has meat at this meeting.

Pulling Yu Li into the water was to pave the way for picking up meat from Li Weidong's family later.

You see, if you can't find the thief, you can't just watch the distinguished guests of our Yan family leave in a huff and watch Yan Jiecheng's marriage mess up, right?
Yan Bugui knew Yu Li well. This girl seemed tough, and she acted swiftly and decisively, but she had a good heart. When she was in trouble, she would definitely help.

It's just that now Yan Bugui has changed his mind.

This kid Li Weidong saw through his arrangement after just a few glances, maybe he could really get the meat back.

Yan Bugui looked at Nan Yi with a smile: "Master Nan, Director Li is the leader, and now he is in charge of investigating this matter, so you should quickly tell what you know."

Nan Yi was still a little reluctant. After all, Li Weidong was his half-rival in love, so he felt really uncomfortable just following his arrangement.

"Nan Yi, did you hide the meat yourself?"

A voice came from the crowd.

Nan Yi turned his head to look, and when he saw the person clearly, his eyes turned red.

That person is the eighth-level chef Sha Zhu.

The failure of the last competition did not convince Shazhu.

In his opinion, the people responsible for scoring at that time were all employees of the machinery factory.

Naturally, their buttocks were tilted to Nanyi's side.

So, knowing that Nanyi was coming to cook, Shazhu, who always liked to watch the excitement, didn't show up.
