Chapter 113 The building collapsed

Gradually, towards noon, Shazhu had almost prepared the meal, and the tables in the courtyard had been neatly cleared, waiting for the food to be served.

The Jia family was fully prepared for the full moon wine this time, and Shazhu also showed his skills to make a name for himself in front of the neighbors in the yard.

There were two pots, and one person was wandering around in front of the pot. In half an afternoon, he made four meat dishes, four vegetarian dishes, and two cold dishes.

The meat dishes include stir-fried pork with cabbage, stir-fried pork with mushrooms, stir-fried pork and boiled meat slices, served on a small plate.

The vegetarian dishes are spicy cabbage, retorted potato shreds, radish stewed with vermicelli, and fried eggplant, all served in a large bowl.

The cold dishes were pickled cabbage contributed by Shazhu, and pickled radish from Dama, two plates were filled.

Finally, there is a pot of Erhe noodles per table, which is large enough to fill up.

The pots and bowls borrowed from various houses were filled with food one by one, waiting to be brought to the table and the banquet started.

At noon, Yang Xiaotao made two roujiamo buns at home. The palm-sized white flour buns were fried in a pan with half an inch of fat residue in the middle. A layer of Pixian bean paste was spread on top and a few pieces were sandwiched between them.

Cabbage leaves taste oily, crispy and dry.

Holding a small bench, Yang Xiaotao sat at the door, holding a meat bun in one hand and a kettle beside him, eating and watching.

It's like a village showing movies and watching big plays.

In the middle courtyard, five tables had been put together. Jia Zhang saw that it was getting late, so she urged people to help set the dishes.

With the help of the first aunt and the second aunt, the dishes were served quickly. He Yuyu also came over to bring tea and water, and several people quickly put the dishes on the table.

Seeing the festive atmosphere, Mrs. Jia Zhang felt much less stingy in her heart.

I originally calculated that the cost of a table would be less than three yuan, but when I started cooking, I realized that the ingredients I prepared were simply not enough.

It was customary for Man Yue Jiu to eat noodles, so the steamed buns originally served were replaced with noodles made of white flour, which cost twenty kilograms.

Considering that it was not enough to eat, I added some more vegetables, but fortunately no meat was added.

But there was wine on the table, so when all was taken into account, the price of the table was more than five yuan.

Five tables of twenty-five and six double the cost.

Fortunately, these people came to have a meal and made a lot of money, especially Yang Xiaotao's twenty yuan, which was earned in vain.

Thinking of this, Jia and Zhang also risked their own money. When their eldest grandson celebrates the full moon, he must do it openly.

Let those crooked melons and slanted jujubes see that her Jia family is proud.

On the other side, when the three uncles saw that the dishes had begun to be served, they got up and walked to the head table.

Of course, the third uncle went first and came to the small table beside him, straightened his clothes, sat upright, took out a pen from his pocket, and then opened the red leather book on the table.

"Yan Laoxi, you did this business in a timely manner."

Seeing this, Liu Haizhong joked, and Yan Fugui was not annoyed. He raised his head, showing the appearance of a cultured man.

"I can't help it, I was born to eat this kind of rice."

"Hey, hurry up and let me write your name first."

Liu Haizhong was very pleased with these words. The old man has not spoken at this moment. If his name is written on this, he will be the first one to leave his name on it.

Liu Haizhong, who compared everything with Yi Zhonghai, felt that this was necessary. Only in this way could he demonstrate his status in this compound.

So, without even thinking about it, and without even having time to greet the uncle, he took out five yuan and handed it to Yan Fugui.

Yan Fugui was surprised. It was only five yuan. How much should he take?

I was a little surprised, but I was not slow at work.

"Second uncle, Liu Haizhong, congratulate me on five yuan!"

Liu Haizhong watched as he finished writing, then nodded happily and walked towards the main seat.

Jia Dongxu quickly stepped forward to greet him, and Jia Zhang on the side also showed a smile.

At this time, the first man, Yi Zhonghai, took out ten dollars from his pocket.

"Oh, why don't you say that this gentleman is so grand?"

Yan Fugui said, but he raised his hand and wrote the first man's name in front of his bangs, which made Yi Zhonghai very happy.

A ghost like him, Yan Fugui, how can he not leave some backup plan?

When I was wearing my bangs, I deliberately left a little blank space in order to please Yi Zhonghai.

In this way, both of them feel that they have face, neither of them is offended, and both of them make a profit.

This is the benefit of calculation.

When the Jia family heard that Yi Zhonghai directly gave him ten yuan, they immediately walked away from Liu Haizhong and came to Yi Zhonghai.

"Master, please come and have a seat!"

Yi Zhonghai waved his hand, "Just go and do your work, you're not an outsider."

Jia Dongxu was even happier, but instead of walking away, he greeted the person respectfully.

Liu Haizhong lowered his head to drink water, feeling uncomfortable.

Today, I'm a little shorter again.

If I had known earlier, I should have given it later.

On the other side, Yan Fugui wrote down his name, then took out a red envelope from his arms, put it into the box proudly, and then wrote his name behind the bangs.

"Third uncle, Yan Fugui, three yuan!"

These three dollars were spent on my little daughter's full-moon wine, so I won't lose money anyway.

Otherwise, he would feel distressed even if he took a piece of it.

Not only did the people around him not laugh, but they were a little surprised.

When did Yan Laoxi stop being stingy?

Regardless of everyone's reaction, Yan Fugui felt satisfied and waited for the people behind him to come.

Mrs. Jia and Zhang counted on their fingers, the three families would be worth eighteen yuan together.

You will get your money back soon.

Looking at the people around me, as long as everyone comes, we will make a lot of money.

However, Yan Fugui was sitting there in front, waiting, but no one came forward.

The strange thing is that the people around him gradually dispersed, and some people even went back to the house, closed the door and never came out.

Yan Fugui didn't say anything. He was just a bookkeeper. He really couldn't care whether others came or not.

At the main table, Yi Zhonghai looked at Si Zhu who had finished his work and smiled happily, "Zhu Zhu, hurry up to the backyard and bring the old lady on your back."

Hearing this, Silly Zhu nodded with a smile and was about to run to the backyard, but he remembered something and walked up to Yan Fugui, took out two dollars and said, "Third uncle, please mark it down."

Originally, Silly Zhu was planning to get more, but today his efforts are worthy of the Jia family, not to mention the two yuan of contribution money, which is only a lot more than the third uncle.

"good."

"He Yuzhu, two dollars."

The third uncle played a long tune and his voice came out, hoping that the people in the courtyard would come over quickly and not make him wait too long.

Otherwise, we won't be able to make hot meals in time.

Silly Zhu ran away, and Yan Fugui continued to sit, a little anxious.

I scanned the people around me, and there were even fewer people at this time. There were only a few half-year-old children left, and the old women and young wives watching the fun. I didn’t see any of them who were in charge of the family!

Yan Fugui suddenly thought of something and realized what was going on.

Looking back at the smiling Jia family at the main table, I suddenly felt the urge to watch a show.

He raised his head, greeted Yan Jiecheng, and soon whispered a few words in his ear. Then Yan Jiecheng walked away with a confused look on his face and went to talk to Yan Jiefang.

When Jia Zhang heard that Sha Zhu gave him two yuan, she felt unhappy.

In her opinion, Silhu had nothing to spend money on, so he should give him more, at least five yuan like the second uncle.

However, thinking that this afternoon was all Shazhu’s work, I buried this reluctance in my heart.

After a while, Silly Zhu came from the backyard carrying the deaf old lady on his back. Yi Zhonghai hurried over and helped the deaf old lady to the main seat together.

"The inheritance from our ancestors is endless!"

"You, the Jia family, are finally settled. From now on, there will be no shortage of people offering incense and kowtow!"

The deaf old lady smiled and said to Jia Zhang, "On this day, no matter how many good things you say, no one will dislike it."

"Old lady, you are the most respected person in the compound. You are here today to add glory to our Jia family."

Mrs. Jia Zhang responded with a smile, while Yi Zhonghai stood by to help, "Yes, old lady, this is the treasure of our courtyard. With you here, our courtyard will have the Dinghai Shenzhen, the treasure of the house."

As he spoke, he looked at Shazhu's innocent smile and felt satisfied.

How he treated the deaf old lady, Silly Zhu will be able to treat him in the future.
