Siheyuan: living in a prosperous era

Chapter 20 Preparations for the Wedding Reception
In the early morning, the first ray of morning light fell through the window and fell into the house. Yang Shuning got up and changed into a set of clothes. In the blink of an eye, he saw Lou Xiao'e cutting the sheets with scissors, and felt a little weird in his heart.

"Brother Shu Ning, please go and do your work first." Lou Xiao'e's brows and eyes were full of charm. She couldn't help but glance at Yang Shu Ning shyly and said in a low voice.

"It's okay. I'm going to buy some breakfast first and we'll eat together later."

If Yang Shuning really leaves now, it will be almost as ruthless as pulling an X.We walked to the state-owned breakfast shop at the entrance of the alley, took some money and bought meat buns, fried dough sticks, and soy milk before heading back.

"Brother Shu Ning, I'll help you wash up first." As soon as Yang Shuning entered the courtyard, he heard Lou Xiao'e speaking to him with a face in his hands.

"Who taught you this? Wait for me to wash up?" Yang Shuning was also a little surprised. This is a new society now.

"This is how my mother serves my father, and so do my aunts."

Well, Yang Shuning finally understood. The Lou family still maintained the style before liberation. This style allowed Yang Shuning to criticize: "It smells so good."

I just don’t know if my cheap father-in-law, Lou Bancheng, is still in good health, having to deal with so many wives, big and small.

Lou Xiao'e helped Yang Shuning wash up, and then the two of them had breakfast together, lovingly like a newly married couple.

After the meal, Yang Shuning went out to do errands, while Lou Xiao'e continued to stay in this courtyard. She was not doing well today.I have to wait for my driver at home to pick me up.

Yang Shuning bought some fruit bread produced by Yili Food Factory on the way home.

This kind of fruit bread has carefully selected ingredients, is delicious and nutritious, and is a relatively luxurious and high-end snack that is very popular in the capital.

Under the White Tower in Beihai Park, when young men and women fall in love, they hand over a piece of fruit bread. This is a transmission of love.If you love her, treat her to the fruit of righteousness! (In the drama "Under the Zhengyang Family", the bread that the male protagonist Han Chunming gave to the female protagonist Su Mengshun was Yili fruit, so he was reported by the villain Cheng Jianjun and lost his job.)
It is said to be luxurious because it costs thirty-eight cents per piece and costs three taels of food stamps.

As soon as Yang Shuning entered the gate of the courtyard, he saw the third uncle concentrating on watering unknown green plants. What was strange was that the right bracket of his glasses was wrapped with white tape.It was fine for the past two days. Was it broken by a boy from the Yan family?
She walked up to him and said hello with a smile, "Teacher Yan, have you eaten? I've watched you water these little plants every day, but why haven't I seen them bloom?"

"Hey, isn't it time yet?" Yan Bubu straightened up, turned his head and glanced at what Yang Shuning was holding in his left hand, and smiled mysteriously.

"Third uncle, I think with your style, you should plant onions, garlic, ginger, etc. in these pots and jars. This can save a few cents of vegetable money every month." Yang Shuning pointed with his right hand. Pointing to Yan Bugui's green plants, he said jokingly.

"You don't understand. 'It's better to eat without meat than live without bamboo.' Of course, we can't plant any bamboo here. Planting some flowers and plants is also a sentiment." The third uncle said again. book bag.

"Well, I have learned a lesson, but you are still highly educated. No wonder you can become the third uncle. Come on, smoke." After Yang Shuning finished speaking, he gave a thumbs up and complimented him against his will.Then he took out the big front door and handed one to the third uncle.

"Where?" Yan Bugui waved his right hand and happily took the cigarette from Yang Shuning. Then he pointed to what Yang Shuning was carrying in his left hand and said, "Did you go out to buy this snack just now?"

Yang Shuning looked as usual after hearing the third uncle's words. Could he say that I didn't come back last night?

"Well, I went out shopping for a while when I was bored. I saw that this bread is good. I bought some and gave it to my family to try."

Yang Shuning, who had already walked back, suddenly thought of something, "Third uncle, could you please help inform our neighbors in the courtyard that I will hold a wedding banquet on Sunday, and the location will be at the guest house of the Red Star Rolling Mill. If you have time, you can come over and have fun. .”

"We're going to have a banquet. It's a good thing. Do you need help from me and your third aunt?"

The third uncle, Yan Bugui, started to make small plans again, but Yang Shuning did not disappoint him. "I'm just asking for your help. Could you please help me write dozens of happy words so that I can stick them up. I'd also like Third Auntie to come to the guest house on Sunday to help with the work."

"Okay, I'll go get the happy words right away. I happen to have some red paper at home, so I'll give it to you in the afternoon."

The third uncle was very happy when he heard that Yang Shuning was willing to let him and his wife help.As an elder in the courtyard, I have the obligation to help the neighbors.

Helping others may only cost you three melons and two dates, or even pay for it, but Yang Shuning's family spends a lot of money. For example, the banquet for college entrance a few years ago, although it was divided between three families, still allowed the family to eat meat for several days.

This time Yang Shuning gets married, it will definitely be a bigger event and more exciting.

Yang Shuning is also willing to let the third uncle take advantage of this. He has helped the Yang family for so many years, and the third uncle is a teacher and speaks well. It will not be a shame for him to help on the wedding day.

Yang Shuning is also willing to hire a grand master. He is an eighth-level engineer in the steel rolling mill. He behaved appropriately before Jia Dongxu's accident. Generally speaking, he is a good master.

Second uncle, forget it, don't make a fool of yourself then, just enjoy his wedding banquet.

After returning home and putting away the buns, Yang Shuning got on his bicycle and rushed to the machine repair shop affiliated to the steel rolling mill.

When they arrived at the guard office, even though the people from the security department of the machine repair shop knew that Yang Shuning was the son-in-law of their immediate boss, they still asked about Yang Shuning's purpose and registered.

After registering, Yang Shuning asked the security staff for the location of the canteen, then got on his car and rushed to the canteen.

When they arrived at the kitchen, they saw the busy figure of Nan Yi. At this time, he was still cooking a large pot of food and struggling to provide lunch for the employees of the machine repair shop. "Master Nan, it's been a long time."

Nan Yi turned around and said, "Hello, Chief Yang." After saying that, he wiped his hands on the chef's uniform and caught Yang Shuning's hand for a handshake.

"Don't call me sir, just call me Shu Ning or Xiao Yang. I have something to ask for today."

Yang Shuning wanted Nan Yi to help host Sunday's wedding banquet.

"You asked me to come over and help with the cooking?"

Nan Yi also knew that for a person with such a high reputation, it would be too late for others to hide. The only thing about him that could impress the officer Yang Shuning was his cooking skills.

Nan Yi is still very confident about his cooking skills. He is the successor of the authentic No. [-] Cuisine. If it were not for the high ingredients, he would be able to enter the Yuyuantan Diaoyutai.

"Yes, I'm holding a wedding banquet on Sunday. There will be about six or seven tables. Please help me."

"No problem, you just need to prepare the dishes yourself. I will prepare the seasonings, and I will charge you two yuan per table for the seasoning fee and the craft fee. How about that?"

"no problem."

After negotiating the price with Nan Yi, Yang Shuning rushed home.He also had to take his younger brother to the steel rolling mill to earn money from his father-in-law.Who told him he couldn't cook?
