Siheyuan: Master of the Fire, Eating Watermelons Online

Chapter 131: Finding information from Master Niu, the taste of mature sister Chen Xueru
It has to be said that the Jia family had a very bad impression of the young policeman who came to their doorstep.

From the way Jia Zhang just now accused and speculated about Wang Weiguo, to knowing their previous grievances, it is difficult to identify with and like what they did.

As for Jia Dongxu, the other party also learned from people in the hospital what happened at the steel rolling mill yesterday. They also learned that Jia Dongxu was demoted by the factory leaders for reform because of causing trouble and malicious reporting.

If he didn't have the identity of a police officer, he would have wanted to curse that the top beam is crooked and the bottom beam is crooked.

Not to mention that they came here so early in the morning without even having time to eat, running around, and even ran back to call to verify the situation reported by Jia Zhang...

It took them a lot of effort to find out the situation, but then Jia Dongxu said he would not pursue the matter, and all their efforts were in vain. It was simply a joke.

not to mention.

Just like he said just now, even if Jia Dongxu had to bear the loss himself, they couldn't let those "bad guys" go unpunished.

They have to be responsible to the rest of the population.

Otherwise, if something happens because of these people, and the leaders above blame them, they will not be able to bear the responsibility.

Compared with Wang Weiguo, Jia Dongxu really made the other party look down on him, otherwise his reaction just now would not have been so intense.

"Okay, Xiao Zhou, let's go back!"

The older policeman waited until the young policeman named Xiao Zhou had finished venting his anger before he spoke softly.

Although he didn't say anything about Jia Dongxu, he also looked down on him.

As the two police officers left, the crowd who came to watch the excitement also dispersed one after another. However, in everyone's eyes, Jia Dongxu now looked like a cowardly joke.

He was robbed and beaten so badly that even the police showed up, yet he just let it go.

The previous reputation of being a coward was indeed well-deserved.

at the same time.

Policeman Xiao Zhou, who came to the outside of the courtyard, still looked angry.

Being young and energetic, he hated to see this the most.

The old policeman next to him didn't care about it. He just frowned and suddenly asked, "Xiao Zhou, don't you think there's something wrong with Jia Dongxu?"

"has a problem?"

The young police officer was stunned, and then he began to think seriously. He quickly answered, "It is indeed a bit strange. Others would not be so timid if they encountered such a thing."

"There's something wrong with this Jia Dongxu."

After pulling out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and lighting one for himself, the old policeman continued to analyze: "I feel that this incident was more likely done by an acquaintance. When asked about the robbery, Jia Dongxu seemed very nervous, afraid that we would ask him something. There might be something we don't know."

"What should I do?"

The young police officer spread his hands helplessly and complained: "That Jia Dongxu is unwilling to cooperate. We are police officers, not clairvoyant. We can't know everything, right?"

"No hurry, go back and have a meal first, then go to the place where the other party mentioned the crime took place, and ask around to see if anyone has been dishonest recently."

“What if nothing is discovered?”

"Then let's check this Jia Dongxu."

"Check him?"

“This is a solution when there is no other solution.”

"..."

……

Siheyuan, front yard.

Yan Bugui, who had just returned from the Intermediate Courtyard and looked thoughtful, could not help but ask curiously, "Weiguo, do you think there is something wrong with Jia Dongxu?"

"What's wrong?"

Wang Weiguo discovered that the calculating Yan Bugui had also noticed something, but he pretended to be stupid and tested it.

He naturally also noticed Jia Dongxu's abnormality, but that was all, and he didn't know more about the inside story.

Hearing this, Yan Bugui shook his head and said helplessly: "I can't explain it, but I just feel that his reaction is not normal."

Yan Bugui couldn't say anything, and Wang Weiguo had even less to say, so the two of them quickly ended the topic.

After returning home, Wang Weiguo continued cooking.

After finishing the breakfast I made myself, I quickly rode my bike towards Fengze Garden.

After successfully completing his apprenticeship and becoming a full-time chef in the kitchen, Wang Weiguo naturally no longer needs to come to the store early to practice morning exercises like before.

If it was before, or before the awakening system was built, in order to improve his cooking skills, Wang Weiguo would never have fallen behind in the basics, and the basics rely on these little bits of accumulation over time.

But now Wang Weiguo has a shortcut. He doesn’t have to work hard, and it won’t take long before he can reach the level of his master. Why bother?

What is the meaning of effort?
For Wang Weiguo, who has a lazy personality, the meaning of hard work lies in having the qualifications and ability to enjoy.

Today, he is already the youngest level five cook in the entire Fengze Garden, so there is no need for him to "put himself in a difficult position".

Of course.

Wang Weiguo was not so proud of himself. After all, in front of all the state banquet-level chefs, a level five cook was nothing and was still just a little brother.

But no matter how you put it, compared with my previous apprenticeship, it’s already pretty awesome.

Today in the kitchen of Fengze Garden, nothing as exciting happened as yesterday at the steel mill. It was still an ordinary day.

Although it seems busy and fulfilling, it is extremely relaxing for Wang Weiguo.

After get off work in the evening, Wang Weiguo did not return to the courtyard, but came to the tavern.

As soon as he came in, Wang Weiguo saw many familiar faces.

"Master Niu, Master Pian, good evening!"

Seeing Niu Ye and Pian Ye sitting together drinking, Wang Weiguo smiled and said jokingly, "Do you mind if I join the table?"

The tavern's business has been as good as usual these days. Although it cannot be said to be full tonight, there are indeed no extra tables.

"Welcome!"

Niu Ye couldn't help but smile, looking at Wang Weiguo and asked, "Weiguo, why haven't I seen you come over these few days?"

It's rare to meet someone who can chat with you and have similar conversations with you. Although he is much younger than you, Niu Ye really likes Wang Weiguo.

These days when I came to the tavern to drink, I couldn't help but see if Wang Weiguo was there.

"Hey, busy!"

Wang Weiguo smiled, and then said to Xu Huizhen who had just returned from the kitchen: "Sister Huizhen, bring me a plate of braised beef and cold kelp shreds, and a pot of the best wine."

Hearing this voice, Xu Huizhen also noticed Wang Weiguo who appeared in the store, and a smile immediately appeared on her face.

After instructing the others in the store to prepare, she walked over here and complained to Wang Weiguo pretending to be unhappy: "Brother, you haven't come to my place for several days. Do you dislike this tavern of mine?"

“How could that be possible!” Wang Weiguo shook his head and said with a smile, “Sister Huizhen, your tavern is doing so well that I came here a few days ago, but when I saw that there was no room for everyone in the store, I didn’t dare to come in.”

"Then the business is so good that it becomes my fault, sister?"

Xu Huizhen glanced at Wang Weiguo with a hint of resentment.

But to be honest, thanks to Wang Weiguo's two secret recipes for braised beef in soy sauce and cold kelp salad, the business of her tavern did immediately become prosperous again. As a strong woman, Xu Huizhen was very happy.

"That can't be! It's my fault. I'll drink three cups as punishment!"

Just at this time the wine was served and Wang Weiguo "admitted his mistake".

"No, I'm not an unreasonable person." Xu Huizhen quickly stopped him and sat down in the empty seat next to him. "How about you have a couple of drinks with me?"

"What's the problem?"

If a beautiful woman wanted to drink with him, Wang Weiguo would certainly not refuse.

Seeing this, Niu Ye and Pian Ye, who were sitting at the same table, couldn't help but smile.

And Niu Ye even laughed and joked: "Weiguo is still very impressive. As soon as I got here, Manager Xu came to drink with me. Others don't get this treatment."

"Master Niu, look at what you said."

Xu Huizhen rolled her eyes and said directly: "This Weiguo is my brother, how can it be the same?"

When Pian'erye heard this, he couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Manager Xu, isn't Weiguo Manager Chen's younger brother? When did he become your younger brother?"

"She is allowed to be recognized as a brother by Chen Xueru, but I, Xu Hui, cannot be recognized as a brother by her?"

Xu Huizhen was unwilling to admit defeat and started to get serious.

"Hiss~, Manager Xu, I don't mean that, please don't misunderstand me!"

Pian'er Ye didn't dare to offend Xu Huizhen, so he quickly explained.

If it were someone else, people might think he was looking for trouble!

Of course Xu Huizhen wouldn't be so petty, but she just couldn't let Chen Xueru outdo her.

Speaking of which, the way she and Chen Xueru get along with each other and the way they work together are quite interesting.

Four people gathered at the table, eating braised beef with soy sauce and cold kelp shreds and drinking some wine, and soon started chatting.

In the middle of the conversation, Niu Ye suddenly asked, "Weiguo, I heard that there is a chef in Fengze Garden who passed the fifth-level cook exam right after graduation. Is that person you?"

"Master Niu, you are well-informed!"

Wang Weiguo was a little surprised, but knowing that this Mr. Niu was well-connected among all kinds of people, he was not too shocked.

Not many people know about this matter about me, but it is not a secret.

Niu Ye smiled happily, but said modestly: "Oh! What do you mean by well-informed? I just heard it from a friend, and then I immediately thought of you."

However, Xu Huizhen and Pianerye, who knew this for the first time, were extremely surprised.

He became a level 5 cook right after he started his apprenticeship. What kind of incredible talent is this?

Especially Xu Huizhen.

She knew that this new brother she had just adopted was very capable, but she didn't expect that she had underestimated him. Wang Weiguo always managed to refresh her cognition inadvertently.

Now it seems that by recognizing Wang Weiguo as her brother, she is actually taking advantage of him.

"Wang Weiguo, you didn't tell me about such a big thing. Do you still regard me as your sister?"

Looking at Wang Weiguo, Xu Huizhen suddenly felt a little angry.

"Sister Huizhen, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but I'm only taking the assessment these two days. Yesterday I was out helping out at another company. You see, I came right over today when I was free, didn't I?"

Wang Weiguo explained.

When Xu Huizhen heard this, her expression eased a little.

She wasn't really angry, she just cared whether Wang Weiguo really regarded her as a sister. After all, she took the matter of recognizing her as a brother seriously, not just talking about it.

Then, Xu Huizhen stood up and said to everyone in the store, "Everyone, the person next to me is my younger brother, Xu Huizhen's chef. To celebrate his successful passing of the fifth-level cook assessment, I, Xu Huizhen, will pay for two taels of wine and a plate of cold kelp shreds for each guest present today. I hope everyone enjoys drinking tonight."

As soon as these words were spoken, they won cheers from the entire audience.

Who wouldn't be happy to have free wine and snacks?

Wang Weiguo also truly felt the charm of wealthy lady Xu Huizhen.

Even though I'm not footing the bill for tonight's spending, it's almost there.

Looking at the lively atmosphere in the tavern, Xu Huizhen couldn't help but smile more.

"Sister Huizhen, I'm sorry for the expense."

Although Wang Weiguo did not gain any substantial benefits from Xu Huizhen's actions, he was still very happy that someone cared about him.

"You want a beating, huh?"

Seeing Wang Weiguo's seemingly polite attitude, Xu Huizhen scolded him with a smile in annoyance.

Facing the teasing brother and sister, Uncle Niu and Uncle Pian couldn't help but smile.

After drinking a few more glasses of wine, Wang Weiguo, who didn't feel drunk at all, was already in high spirits. He seemed to remember something and asked Niu Ye directly: "Niu Ye, can you please do me a favor?"

"you say!"

When Mr. Niu heard this, the expression on his face became more serious.

He didn't agree directly, but when he said these two words, as long as the matter was within his ability and did not violate the principles, it was basically the same as agreeing.

"Aren't you well-informed? I have a neighbor named Jia Dongxu. It seems that he had a conflict with someone outside last night, or something happened. Can you help me find out?"

It just so happened that Uncle Niu was here. He had dealt with all kinds of people and had his own connections and information channels. Wang Weiguo thought of Jia Dongxu, who had not returned home last night and returned covered in injuries, and he became interested.

Wang Weiguo himself is not a particularly gossipy person, but this may involve Jia Dongxu's secrets and hide a big melon. If he digs it out, he will not only have one more handle on Jia Dongxu, but also make some money. Why not?

"Oh? What's your relationship with this neighbor?"

Without rushing to agree, Uncle Niu asked first.

Wang Weiguo heard this and did not hide it. He said, "We are not friends. We still have some grudges. But don't worry, Master Niu. This is a new society. I don't intend to cause trouble for myself. It's just..."

After hearing Wang Weiguo recount his past grievances with Jia Dongxu and what happened last night and this morning, Niu Ye understood.

This is more than just a little grudge, it's almost become a feud.

Pian'erye, who was listening on the side, didn't say a word, but Xu Huizhen spoke up for Wang Weiguo and said, "Neighbors like this are really hateful. Brother, you are just too kind."

Facing Xu Huizhen's defense and indignation, Wang Weiguo smiled slightly.

He is not a kind person. Jia Dongxu still doesn't know that he has been secretly forgiven by him several times.

"Okay, leave this to me. Although I can't guarantee that I can find out anything, I will try my best to help you."

Although he was confident in this regard, Niu Ye did not say too much.

But now that he has said this, everyone who knows Niu Ye knows that he will take it seriously and will even use all his connections.

As for the questions I asked just now, on the one hand it is my habit, and on the other hand I need to understand enough of the situation.

It's not that he would agree to help anyone without hesitation. At least he has to like the person or think highly of the person, just like Wang Weiguo in front of him.

After the story was told, Wang Weiguo quickly started toasting with Niu Ye and the others.

The matter about Jia Dongxu was just a small episode and did not affect their mood for drinking at all.

Soon.

Just as they were drinking, Chen Xueru appeared at the door of the tavern with a small bag.

As soon as she appeared, she attracted the attention of many people in the tavern.

No one doesn't like a pleasing-to-the-eye beauty, especially one with such personality and charm as Chen Xueru.

However, Chen Xueru glanced at Wang Weiguo who was drinking with Xu Huizhen, and walked in with a slightly sour tone, "Hey, isn't this my brother Weiguo? Why don't you come to my place, but come here to drink instead?"

Chen Xueru was obviously well prepared for this attack.

Before Wang Weiguo could speak, Xu Huizhen spoke first and retorted: "My tavern has both good wine and good food, why can't you come to my place?"

"It's like no one has good wine."

Chen Xueru covered her mouth and smiled, but the tension grew.

As soon as the two met, they started to confront each other.

Faced with such a scene, the old customers in the store were accustomed to it, and some even laughed and made a few comments.

But Chen Xueru ignored these voices.

When she came over, she found that the table where Wang Weiguo was sitting was occupied by Xu Huizhen, Niu Ye and Pian Er Ye, so she said without hesitation: "Pian Er Ye, give me a seat!"

"Yes, please!"

When Pianerye heard this, he tactfully picked up his wine and snacks and went to the seat next to him.

Seeing this, Chen Xueru sat down next to Wang Weiguo with a smile. Just as she ordered two taels of wine, she heard Xu Huizhen say, "Give Manager Chen some cold kelp shreds and a plate of braised beef in soy sauce. It's my treat."

"Wow, Manager Xu is really generous today."

Chen Xueru didn't like to take advantage of others, nor did she lack these small things, but Xu Huizhen's approach really benefited her.

But what Xu Huizhen said next made her a little unhappy.

"Chen Xueru, don't think too much. I'm not just being polite to you today. I'll give every guest who comes to the store tonight two taels of wine and a plate of cold kelp shreds for free."

Xu Huizhen said with some pride.

"Tsk, Xu Huizhen, you must have encountered something good."

Chen Xueru didn't care and asked casually.

"Good thing! What a great thing!"

Xu Huizhen first glanced at Chen Xueru, and then continued, "My brother passed the fifth-level cook assessment right after he graduated. Now he is the official chef of Fengze Garden. How can I not be happy?"

When Chen Xueru heard this, she couldn't laugh anymore and looked at Wang Weiguo with some unhappiness.

She knew nothing about this.

Wang Weiguo is not only Xu Huizhen's brother, but also hers!
As a fellow sister, I only found out about such a big thing now. I feel outshined by Xu Huizhen.

"Sister Xueru, this happened to me in the past two days. I just came here today when I had some free time, and I haven't had time to tell you yet."

Wang Weiguo's explanation seems like an explanation, but it is actually an explanation.

As a smart person, Chen Xueru immediately realized that Xu Huizhen had just found out about this, and she felt a lot more balanced.

Seeing that she couldn't make Chen Xueru angry, Xu Huizhen glanced at Wang Weiguo speechlessly.

Can't you just let her have more fun?
Being sandwiched between Chen Xueru and Xu Huizhen, both of whom were very sharp-tongued, Wang Weiguo felt a little depressed.

But all this is enviable in the eyes of others.

They also want to be surrounded by two such beauties, but they don't have that blessing.

After a round of drinks, Wang Weiguo, who was envied by others, felt relieved.

Soon, Wang Weiguo said goodbye to Xu Huizhen, and at Chen Xueru's initiative to invite them to go together, the two left together.

However, when the two of them walked outside Chen Xueru's silk shop, Chen Xueru suddenly invited him, "Brother, do you want to come up and sit for a while?"

"convenient?"

Wang Weiguo couldn't help but probe.

"Why is it inappropriate?"

Chen Xueru rolled her eyes at Wang Weiguo and said unconvincedly, "This good wine is not only available at Xu Huizhen's place, the wine I have collected is no worse than Xu Huizhen's.

It's unfortunate today. I just found out about your big wedding and didn't make any preparations. I'll give you a generous gift later. I see you haven't had enough to drink just now. Can we have a few more drinks together?"

Wang Weiguo found it somewhat funny.

It is obvious that Chen Xueru is still competing with Xu Huizhen.

But how could he bear to refuse the invitation of a beautiful woman?
The two entered the silk shop. It was getting late, so Chen Xueru asked everyone in the shop to go home, and then took Wang Weiguo upstairs.

Not long after.

Chen Xueru returned to Wang Weiguo, holding a small jar of old wine sealed with cellar mud.

As soon as the mud seal was removed, an intoxicating smell filled the air.

Wang Weiguo didn't know much about wine, but he could feel that this wine was special.

After Chen Xueru brought over two cups, she quickly filled them up and the two of them started drinking.

There were no snacks to go with the drinks, and as they were in a good mood, the two of them just drank without any change, and the atmosphere was not affected much.

After his physique was strengthened, Wang Weiguo's tolerance to alcohol increased greatly. He couldn't say that he could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, but at least the little bit of alcohol in front of him was nothing to him.

But Chen Xueru can't do that.

She had already drunk some in the tavern, and when she came back here, she drank one cup after another. Soon, Chen Xueru fell into Wang Weiguo's arms.

When Chen Xueru took the initiative to throw herself towards him, Wang Weiguo was stunned for a moment, but did not choose to push her away.

"Defending the country~"

"Sister Xueru..."

"Am I pretty?"

"Pretty!"

"kiss Me!"

"Sister Xueru..."

"..."

Before Wang Weiguo could react, Chen Xueru wrapped herself around him like a water snake, looked at him with blurry eyes, stood on tiptoes, and pressed her sexy red lips against Wang Weiguo's face.

Feeling Chen Xueru's initiative, Wang Weiguo's body reacted and he also began to respond actively.

For a moment, the room was filled with spring scenery.
