Siheyuan starts to eat the old man

Chapter 199 Chapter 199
"Brother Damao, you're too polite for such a small matter. Besides, didn't I take your money? You don't need to kill a chicken to entertain me." Li Pingan grabbed Xu Damao's arm and said with some embarrassment.

How could Xu Damao let Li Pingan go? There is still something he wants to ask Li Pingan for help: "Brother Pingan, do you look down on brother I am a worker and don't want to go to my house for dinner?"

"That's not true. I just had a treat from Deputy Factory Manager Li. I ate in the factory and I was full. Now I really don't have room in my stomach."

After hearing that Li Pingan had dinner with the factory leaders again, Xu Damao's eyes flashed a look of envy, but he quickly restrained himself, and now he decided to build a good relationship with Li Pingan.

"In this way, if I stew chicken soup at night, I can't eat much meat, but the chicken soup can still be drunk?"

After some tugging, under Xu Damao's strong invitation, Li Pingan really couldn't refuse, and finally agreed to go to Xu Damao's house to drink chicken soup at night.

Talking and laughing, the two came to the middle courtyard together. As soon as they entered the middle courtyard, they smelled a strong aroma of meat and vegetables.

Xu Damao raised his nose, and asked vigorously about the fragrance in the air. When he smelled it from the silly house, his face immediately showed a disdainful expression.

"Brother Zhuzi's craftsmanship is getting better and better, this taste is really amazing." Smell the aroma of fried chicken made by Shazhu, Li Pingan moved his index finger, and admired Shazhu's craftsmanship from the bottom of his heart.

Silly Zhu and Xu Damao have been rivals since childhood. Hearing Li Pingan's praise of Shazhu's craftsmanship, Xu Damao's expression became even more ugly, so he couldn't help but sneered: "No matter how good the craftsmanship is, it's just a waiter." Silly cook, if he hadn't been introduced to someone by you, he would still let Widow Qin hang around and beat him as a bachelor."

Knowing the situation of the two of them, after listening to Xu Damao's words, Li Pingan just smiled and didn't answer.

"Okay, Brother Pingan, I'll go back to kill the chicken first, and remember to come over to drink chicken soup at night." After leaving these words, Xu Damao hurriedly pushed his bicycle through the Moon Gate and headed for the backyard.

After Xu Damao left, Li Pingan did not choose to go back to Yi Zhonghai's house, but walked directly into Shazhu's house, so that he could eat freshly baked melons.

"Brother Zhuzi, your fried chicken is delicious enough. I can smell it from a long distance away." Entering Shazhu's house, Li Pingan nodded at Xu Yanxia first, and then pointed at Shazhu who was cooking. Stupidly laughed.

Silly looked up and saw that it was Li Ping'an, and smiled triumphantly: "That is, I really am not bragging to you, your brother and my craftsmanship, if you ask around in four or nine cities, it will definitely be ranked first."

"Brother Ping'an, sit down quickly, can you have some food here tonight?" Xu Yanxia got up and invited
Li Pingan waved his hand, smiled and said to Xu Yanxia: "Sister-in-law, no need, I just promised to go to Xu Damao's house to drink chicken soup later, so you don't have to worry about me."

Here, Xu Damao went back to the backyard, parked his bicycle, and after taking down the bottle of Fenjiu, he thought about going to the chicken coop to catch chickens.

I just squatted down to look into the chicken coop, and found that there were only two chickens in the coop, but now there was only one left, so I hurriedly stood up and shouted to the back room: "Ezi, Ezi, our family! Why is there one less chicken?"

Lou Xiaoe, who was lying in the room, heard the movement outside, and just got off the bed after getting dressed, when she heard Xu Damao's shout.

So he quickly opened the door and went out, glanced at Xu Damao, and said with a smile: "I don't know, I had a headache when I came back, and I lay on the bed for a whole day, I thought you gave away the chicken."

Seeing Lou Xiaoe's nonchalant expression, Xu Damao frowned, and said helplessly, "Who can I send it to? This is what the People's Commune gave me when I went to the countryside to show a movie."

Hearing this, although Lou Xiao'e didn't care much about the chicken, after all, it belonged to her family, and it was lost inexplicably, so she was still a little anxious.

So Lou Xiao'e put away her smiling face, and said doubtfully, "Then you can't run away in the cage by yourself?"

"I just came back from get off work, I don't know, why don't I look for it quickly?" Xu Damao hurriedly urged Lou Xiao'e to look for chickens in the yard.

In this way, Lou Xiaoe and his wife started their journey of finding chickens all over the compound.

Because the chicken was fried this time, Shazhu added a lot of seasonings and peppers. Xu Damao could only smell the aroma of cooking, which was not the same as in the original drama. Following the smell of stewed chicken, he came to Shazhu's house.

Xu Damao and his wife searched around the yard, searching for all kinds of horns and bumps, but they still didn't find any trace of their old hen.

Xu Damao stood in the front yard with a mournful face. He couldn't find the whereabouts of the old hen, and finally accepted the fact that he had lost an old hen, and his heart ached.

"Da Mao, we also looked for that chicken, but we couldn't find it. I said let's forget it. Isn't it just a chicken? Our family does not lack this chicken."

After looking around for Lou Xiao'e, it's not that she doesn't want to look for it anymore. After all, Lou Xiao'e comes from a wealthy family, and the family is very rich. Let alone a chicken, even if there are ten or eight chickens, she can't see it. go.

"Okay, don't look for it. I think there are thieves in our yard. Now go to the backyard to find the second uncle. I will ask him to hold a meeting of the whole yard. I don't believe it. Someone stole such a big chicken. No one saw it?" After Xu Damao finished speaking, he took the lead and walked to the backyard angrily, ready to go to Liu Haizhong.

When he came to the middle courtyard and passed Shazhu's house, Xu Damao stopped and smelled the smell in the air. Although he didn't know what kind of meat it was, what was certain was that the meat fried at Shazhu's house was definitely not pork.

So Xu Damao changed his footsteps, turned around and walked towards Shazhu's house. When he came to the door of Shazhu's house, he opened the curtain and walked in without knocking.

After entering the room, without saying hello to Li Pingan, he walked directly to the side of Sha Zhu who was frying chicken, and stretched out his head to stare blankly at the chicken nuggets that Sha Zhu was frying.

After Shazhu saw Xu Damao coming in, he stared straight at his frying pan, and couldn't help scolding: "Hey, hey, where are you looking, don't drop the halazi into my pot?"

Xu Damao looked up at Shazhu angrily, and said angrily: "Shazhu, let me ask you, where did you come from?"

Shazhu has always been a deadly enemy with Xu Damao. After getting married, his temper became better, but when he met Xu Damao, he became that stubborn again. Naturally, he would not follow his words and say: "You don't care about me, steal Yes, grab it, it's none of your business"

At this time, Xu Damao was so angry because he was looking for chickens just now, and now he heard what Shazhu said, and immediately shouted at Shazhu angrily: "I went to the countryside to show a movie, and the two old hens sent by the commune came back from work today." One is missing, and now you have fried chicken in the pot, tell me, who stole it if you didn't?"

Lou Xiaoe also followed behind. Unlike Xu Damao, after Lou Xiaoe came in, she nodded with Li Pingan and Xu Yanxia before looking at her husband and Shazhu.

Glancing at the chickens in the pot, Lou Xiaoe remembered that the yard was full of chickens just now, and immediately complained to Shazhu and said: "Silly, you are too greedy, you are such a big man, why do you still steal my chickens?" , my chickens are kept to lay eggs.”

Silly stunned by Lou Xiao'e's words, after realizing it, when he opened his mouth to say something, Xu Yanxia stopped him.

"Da Mao and Xiao'e, have you misunderstood? I bought this chicken at the vegetable market in the afternoon. How could it be your chicken?" Xu Yanxia could see that the two of them were very excited at the moment. , so he stood between the two of them, and said to Xu Damao with a smile.

Xu Damao naturally wouldn't believe Xu Yanxia's words, and glanced at Xu Yanxia, ​​Xu Damao said angrily: "You are a couple, who knows if you are telling the truth or lies, maybe you are helping Silly Zhu to cover up "

The silly Zhu who was behind Xu Yanxia heard Xu Damao say this, and immediately couldn't bear his temper, and pushed Xu Yanxia aside and wanted to clean up Xu Damao.

Xu Damao here is not a vegetarian either, seeing that Silly Zhu wanted to make a move in front of his wife, he was not timid at all.Picking up a kitchen knife from the cabinet, he gestured a few times in the air, holding the kitchen knife to frighten the idiot.

When the two women saw that they were grabbing the guy, they quickly stepped forward and grabbed their respective men to prevent the two of them from doing anything later.

Lou Xiaoe here snatched the kitchen knife from Xu Damao's hand, and said to Li Pingan who was standing happily watching the fun, "Brother Pingan, why are you still standing there, why don't you hurry up and persuade him?"

Li Pingan, who was standing next to the show and watching the play, heard Lou Xiao'e calling him out to try to persuade him to fight. Although he knew that the two of them would not fight, if he continued to watch the show regardless, it would definitely affect his reputation. So he had no choice but to walk between the two of them and separated them.

"Okay, okay, let me save face, isn't it just a chicken, why did you take out all the kitchen knives, put them away quickly, if you have anything to do, sit down and talk calmly."

In fact, when Xu Damao pointed at the silly pillar with a kitchen knife just now, Xu Damao was scared, but he still wanted to save face in front of his wife. With a harsh word: "Okay, today is Brother Ping An, if I wasn't afraid of scaring Brother Ping An, I would have to bleed Shazhu today"

Knowing what kind of idiot Xu Damao is, he just wanted to reply a few words, but Xu Yanxia hugged him tightly around his waist, so he had no choice but to let it go.

After seeing that both of them were quiet, Li Pingan said: "What's going on, I heard it from the side just now, didn't it mean that the old hen of Brother Da Mao's house was lost, and I saw it on the stove of Brother Zhuzi's house?" Fried chicken, I thought it was brother Zhu who stole his own chicken."

"Yes, Brother Ping'an, please judge and see if it is silly to steal my old hen." Xu Damao glared at Shazhu angrily, and said to Li Pingan.

Silly Zhu became anxious when he heard it, and he was not used to Xu Damao's opening: "Come on, ask it, do you think it is your home?"

"Brother Pingan, look, look, Shazhu is anxious, he is anxious, if he didn't steal my chicken, would he react like this?"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Li Pingan quickly stopped the quarrel between the two, looked at Xu Damao with a smile and said, "Brother Damao, as far as I know, the two old hens in your family should be two or three years old." "

Hearing the age of the chicken, I was a little puzzled, why should I talk about the age of the chicken.

Although he couldn't figure it out, he still explained, "It's been more than two years, almost three years, what's wrong? Does it have anything to do with Shazhu stealing my chicken?"

"Brother Damao, let me ask you a question, have you ever seen an old hen that has lived for almost three years for frying?" Li Pingan looked at Xu Damao with a half-smile and said.

The meat of the three-year-old hen that has been free-range in the countryside is firm after all, and it can't be stewed in a pot for two or three hours, let alone fried.

After Xu Damao listened to Li Pingan's words, he was taken aback for a moment, and immediately realized that the chicken sitting in the pot was absolutely impossible to be his old hen. It was his own mistake, which was a bit embarrassing.Standing where he was, he opened his mouth, but didn't speak for a long time.

On the other hand, Lou Xiao'e, who was next to her, reacted, and quickly apologized to the couple: "Sizhu and Yanxia, ​​I'm really sorry, look at this trouble, my Damao is also because of the loss of the old hen, I feel a little distressed, That's a little impulsive."

The fool who cleared his grievances originally wanted to open his mouth to mock Xu Damao, but was pinched by his wife, so he didn't open his mouth to mock Xu Damao.

"Xiao'e, from what you said, this is a misunderstanding, let's make it clear, then there is no apology or not." Xu Yanxia was relieved when she saw that she no longer asked about the chicken, and said to Lou Xiao'e enthusiastically.

Although he knew that this chicken was not foolish enough to steal Xu Damao, but this half chicken came back from the rolling mill.

Stealing the chickens from the rolling mill is much worse than stealing Xu Damao's chickens. If Li Pingan hadn't offered to help, and if it really got into an all-hands meeting, his family would really have to bite the bullet and admit to the crime of stealing chickens .

After the two women exchanged pleasantries, Lou Xiaoe pulled the silent Xu Damao away from the silly house.

After seeing Xu Damao leave, Li Pingan knew that today's first show was over, and if he wanted to continue watching the show, he had to wait until the hospital meeting after dinner.

After all, he lost an old hen, so forget it, Xu Damao would definitely not agree.When he goes back, he will definitely go to Liu Haizhong immediately, and wants Liu Haizhong to help open the general meeting, and find out the chicken or the person who stole the chicken.

"Okay, dinner should be ready at this point, I'm going back now." After Xu Damao left, Li Pingan immediately bid farewell to the silly couple.

"Don't, save some food. If it wasn't for you today, I think Xu Damao's grandson would die unjustly." Seeing that Li Pingan was about to leave, Silly proposed to keep him.

"Forget it, eat alone, I'm going back." After finishing speaking, Li Pingan left the silly house regardless of Shazhu's persuasion.
