A Siheyuan Home Brings Good Fortune

Chapter 93 Dinner Party
Xu Damao and He Yuzhu began the preparation work happily, and everyone was very happy today.

Yan Bugui had never expected to encounter such a thing and was worried that something might happen to Yi Zhonghai.

"Uncle, don't worry. It's just a rage. You can spit it out. Don't leave. Let's eat together."

Yan Bugui didn't expect such a good thing to happen, but he had never eaten He Yuzhu's food.

Now that I can taste it, Yi Zhonghai has long been forgotten.

At first, I thought it was just a fight between He Yukai and Yi Zhonghai, and He Yukai was bound to lose.

A dead end question with no solution.

Unexpectedly, He Yukai turned the tide and old man Li saved the day.

Now I see Zhuzi cooking, I feel happy. Nothing is more important than the food I save. Besides, can anyone eat Zhuzi’s dishes?

"Zhu Zi, are you and Damao just going there like this? You can't buy meat without a ticket."

Yan Bugui looked at He Yuzhu who was about to leave. He didn't go home to get the ticket. No one carries a hostage ticket with them, right?

"Yeah, idiot, you can't buy meat without a ticket now."

"Hey, Uncle San, just wait for the food. Silly Mao, just follow me, I will definitely let you eat meat."

He Yuzhu had already thought of it. Relying on you, Xu Damao? Forget it!
I asked you to follow me to get something, don't worry about it for nothing.

After arriving at the vegetable market, He Yuzhu walked towards the butcher shop without stopping.

As for the dishes, I have an idea in mind that braised pork, pig's trotters and these three do not require tickets. The offal, pig's trotters and large bones do not require tickets.

There is no need to buy big bones, they are picked very cleanly, and if you can find shredded meat, you win.

"Lao Zhang, come out to meet the guests"

"Get lost, idiot. I think you are itching for trouble. What if I am from the Eight Great Hutongs?
They also asked me to entertain customers. That's not right. Now the Eight Great Hutongs have become decent people and there is no one entertaining customers anymore.

I said, you didn't even come to wish your brother Zhang a happy new year on New Year's Day, what are you yelling about here?"

"Hey, good guy, I just said one sentence, look, how many sentences have you said?"

"I was supposed to take a day off today, but Lao Zhou had something to do at home, so he asked me to cover for the day. I was already in a bad mood, and you wanted to tease me. Who can I blame? What do you want?"

"How many pig trotters are there, and what pig organs are there?"

"There are five pig's trotters and a set of internal organs."

"Okay, I want them all."

"You're crazy. You want so much. You have so much money to burn. Can't you just eat while you buy? It's still fresh."

“Hey, my big brother is in a good mood, let me treat you.

It was just after the Chinese New Year, and we didn’t have any meat coupons, so we bought these things.”

At this time, any meat coupons available at home would be used to buy fat meat.

No one even wants spareribs, mainly because there is no fat on them and they lack oil and water.

"Haha, that's great. Do you want half a pork chop?"

"No, let's count the money."

"Okay, five dollars and eighty cents."

After paying the money, He Yuzhu looked at the half piece of chicken comb oil on the chopping board and his eyes rolled.

"Lao Zhang, look, I've helped you get rid of so many unsalable items, would you like to make a deal?"

"Oh? Tell me and listen."

"Hey, give me a few bucks for your half-cockroach oil."

"OK, no problem"

Old Zhang is also a generous person. He Yuzhu's small canteen purchases meat from him. Although it is a public-private partnership, he still gets dividends from the butcher shop.

"Okay, thank you."

After paying the money, he took the cockscomb oil but did not give it to Xu Damao.

Looking at Xu Damao with eager eyes, He Yuzhu seemed to have done something against the will of heaven and earth.

“I told Xu Damao, there’s no oil at home, so you should stop watching.

I'll talk to Lao Zhang and I'll save some cockscomb oil for you next time, okay? Don't try to get my hands on it."

"Thank you, Shazhu. We just happened to be out of oil at home. I haven't eaten chicken comb oil dumpling for a long time."

At that time, cockscomb oil was a hot-selling product, and it was impossible to get it without some connections.

Cockscomb oil is refined to produce a lot of oil, and the oil residue buns can satisfy your craving, it is very precious!
After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he took Xu Damao to Zhengyang Gate to buy some wine. His aunt's wine was delicious, and the important thing was that he didn't need a wine ticket because it was his own wine.

There is definitely no problem buying wine from the tavern.

There is a fixed quantity of wine, which is brewed from grain. Now, with food shortages, if anyone dares to brew wine privately and is caught, it will be a serious crime.

"Shamao, let's go to my uncle's place to buy some wine.

Maybe we will have pork by then. Now we don’t have meat coupons, so we can only find a way.

It was just after the Chinese New Year, so there wasn’t much food.

But my uncle has some, we can just change them."

"Oh?"

"When I went there during the Chinese New Year, I saw a whole pig's neck of wild boar meat, which my eldest brother gave me."

"Your uncle has it, why don't you just take it?"

"Hey, you silly guy, you are so casual. It's okay to change it, but buying it is speculation. Are you setting a trap for me?"

"Silly Zhu, don't talk nonsense. Where did I set a trap for you? Don't look at people with old eyes."

"You are a bad guy, don't talk nonsense when you go back.

Have you forgotten the last time my family was reported because of the fish? Our compound is small and the demons are strong, so we still have to be careful. If someone reports us, I will tell my eldest brother that it was you who caused it. Anyway, you are the only one who knows it."

"Silly Zhu, the market is going up. Are you setting a trap for your Master Mao?"

"Hey, I don't care"

After some chatting and joking, they soon arrived at the tavern and explained their purpose.

"Zhu Zi, didn't you just go back? Are there any guests coming out?"

"Uncle, it's nothing. My brother is happy and wants to invite a few people to dinner. There is no food in stock at home, so I came to get some."

After saying this, He Yuzhu told Cai Quanwu the whole story.

Xu Huizhen sneered after hearing this.

"I have already told your eldest brother to move here. We have enough space, but he is unwilling to do so. Look at the people living in your compound.

I heard from Quanwu that the old lady was too scheming when Xiaokai got married.

Now look at your so-called uncle and Jia Zhang, I don’t understand.

There are so many things going on in this small courtyard. Isn't it better to live your own life well?

Why are you making such a fuss every day? If you don’t have a child to support you in your old age, you might as well adopt one.

Since life at home is difficult, we try to find ways to increase income and improve our lives.

You want to rely on someone, fine, heart for heart, I'm too lazy to say anything, take this meat pillar back with you."

"Okay, Auntie, give me some more wine."

"Look at you, you were originally a simple and honest child, but after following Xiao Kai for a long time, you have become a cunning person.

Afterwards, Yan Bugui and Xu Damao took the things and went back. It was almost afternoon, so they had to go back and cook.

It’s difficult to do it after dark.

After drinking and eating, everyone went home.

The factory will start work tomorrow, so it’s not suitable to stay up too late.

"Silly, you are really awesome. Look at Yi Zhonghai's expression. Even such a hypocritical person is so angry that he is vomiting blood."

"Wife, remember, never underestimate Yi Zhonghai. This man is too obsessed.

But once you break through the obsession, it will definitely be different.

The reason why you keep getting defeated in front of me is because you have too many concerns and want both fame and retirement. You are greedy.

Otherwise, I might not be the opponent."

"I didn't expect that our Silly Boy would change so much. According to your previous temper, you would use your fists and couldn't stand any grievance.

Nowadays, many things are planned before action.

If you can be like this in the army, you will have a bright future."

"Wife, being an official is not what I want to do. Let's see if the times change.

Everything is pretty good now. I have a wife, children and a warm bed. I have a virtuous wife, smart children and a lovely sister.

I also have a younger brother and sister-in-law who care about me all the time, so I should be content.

If times change, maybe I can still achieve something.”

He Yukai's eyes were deep and pointed.

"I know you have a lot of ideas, but I still don't understand your thoughts"

"Wife, I don't like the intrigues in the officialdom. My dream is to work in the real economy and make money.

But the current environment is not suitable. Wait, when the environment allows, you will see a different me."

"But..."

“Wife, stop talking, I know my abilities.

In the current environment, I can’t do anything big.

What I want to do requires me to have absolute authority and cannot have too many restrictions.

I won’t say any more. I’ll just say this once. Don’t discuss this again unless the time is right.”

"I understand. No matter what you do, I support you."

At this time, Yi Zhonghai was still unhappy, mainly because he was too embarrassed to go back.

"Lao Yi, go back! The doctor said you can be discharged from the hospital."

"I'm too embarrassed to go back. I'll be in a public toilet for a month. What do you want me to do or not?"

"How about I do it for you?"

"No, if I don't do it myself, He Yukai will definitely make a fuss. Besides, you are not in good health, so I'd better do it myself. I have embarrassed myself today. The public toilet is outside and the whole alley can see it. Where can I put my face?"

Yi Zhonghai knew that his prestige had been completely destroyed by He Yukai, and he felt a little regretful when he thought of this.
