Siheyuan: Traveling through Cai Quanwu, pretending to be Uncle Shazhu

Cai Quanwu left Guan Jiaqi and her daughter behind and sat with them at the door to chat. Guan Jiaqi looked at the women busy cleaning up the dishes and sighed:

"It's really troublesome to hold a banquet."

"It's a once-in-a-lifetime thing, I'm happy even if it's a little troublesome." Cai Quanwu explained with a smile.

"Xiao Cai is right. What do you know, girl?" Guan's mother was very dissatisfied with Guan Jiaqi's idea.

In Guan's mother's eyes, a wedding without a banquet is the same as no marriage at all.

Unexpectedly, Guan Jiaqi is very opinionated and sticks to her own ideas.

"I wouldn't have such a big wedding. Instead of wasting money, it's better to have a few more meals together as a family."

Obviously, Guan Jiaqi is a pragmatist and is very averse to such scenes.

It may be related to life experiences since childhood.

However, Tsai Quan-wu obviously is not in a position to comment on this issue.

If he agreed, he was afraid that Guan's mother would be unhappy, but if he disagreed, he would offend Guan Jiaqi, so he remained silent and did not say anything.

"You are such an ignorant girl. You don't have a wedding banquet. The neighbors will laugh at you to death." Guan's mother belongs to the older generation and cares a lot about what others think.

"They have made fun of me so many times since I was a kid. I don't live with them, so they can make fun of me whenever they want."

Perhaps because she was upset by what Guan's mother said, Guan Jiaqi spoke with emotion, venting her dissatisfaction.

Seeing that the situation between Guan Jiaqi and her daughter was becoming increasingly tense, Cai Quanwu hurriedly tried to smooth things over.

"Aunt, why don't you go to my room and rest for a while. It's still early."

As soon as Guan's mother heard what Cai Quanwu said, she knew what he meant. She didn't want to argue with her daughter about this matter, so she took the opportunity to agree.

"Okay, I'm old, I can't compare to you young people."

"Jiaqi, please sit down for a while. I will take Auntie to have some rest."

Cai Quanwu said hello to Guan Jiaqi and took Guan's mother to his home.

After making arrangements for Guan's mother, Cai Quanwu turned around and left.

When he arrived at Sha Zhu's house, he heard Guan Jiaqi talking to Xiao Wu in the house. He didn't disturb them, but went to the second uncle's place.

At this time, the second uncle was standing by the sink watching several women washing dishes, and chatting with Master Liu who was cleaning up.

"Old Liu, Master Liu, thank you for your hard work today." Cai Quanwu walked over, took out a cigarette, gave each of them a cigarette, and expressed his gratitude again.

"Mr. Cai, you are too polite. We are all neighbors, and it is only natural for us to help each other. Will you refuse my help next time?"

Cai Quanwu was speechless after hearing what the second uncle said.

He can't just say it depends on the situation. He definitely won't do anything unreasonable. That would be a slap in the face of the Second Uncle.

Before Cai Quanwu could figure out how to answer the second uncle, Master Liu, who was packing up, expressed his agreement with this statement.

"Yes, Lao Liu is right. We are all acquaintances, so it is only natural for us to help each other."

This completely stumped Cai Quanwu, who could only smile bitterly and said, "Yes, yes, I think too much."

"Old Cai, you are right to think so."

"We are a civilized courtyard, and helping each other is a basic requirement for everyone."

"By the way, Lao Cai, there aren't many leftovers on the table. I asked them to pack them up and take them home when they cleared the table."

"It's their hard work fee."

Cai Quanwu didn't expect that the second uncle could speak so clearly and logically.

It seems that just as millions of netizens have said, the second uncle is indeed not completely useless. If you give him a specific task, he can still complete it well.

"Old Liu, you can make the decision on this matter."

Cai Quanwu had no objection to the second uncle's decision to give the leftovers on the table to the people who helped. He had originally planned to do so, but the second uncle brought it up first.

At this time, Master Liu packed up his tools and said goodbye.

"You guys chat, I'm leaving first."

When Cai Quanwu heard Master Liu say he was leaving, he hurried to try to keep him.

"Master Liu, wait a minute. I'll call Zhuzi to see you off."

Cai Quanwu said, and shouted to Sha Zhu's room: "Zhu, come out for a moment, Master Liu is leaving."

He had to call Sha Zhu, as the rule was to pay the master his wages, but Cai Quanwu didn't know what Sha Zhu and Master Liu had discussed.

It would be better to call out Sha Zhu and let him solve the problem.

"coming."

As soon as Sha Zhu finished speaking, he stepped out of the door, took two steps at a time, came to Master Liu, and started to thank him.

"Master Liu, thank you for your help today."

"No way." Master Liu waved his hand when he heard what Sha Zhu said.

After the greetings, Sha Zhu got down to business.

"Master Liu, you go out and cook for people. Two meat dishes, six dollars each. Let's follow this rule."

"You must have left the meat dishes, so I won't say anything. Take this money."

After Sha Zhu finished speaking, he took out some money from his pocket and handed it to Master Liu.

This is why chefs are so popular in this era.

When you go out to cook for others, you can not only bring back meat dishes, but also get paid.

Sha Zhu is also a cook. He knows the rules and speaks directly to Master Liu.

Master Liu looked at the money that Sha Zhu handed over and quickly pushed his hand back.

"Silly Zhu, that's the rule when outsiders invite us to a banquet. We are all acquaintances, so we help each other. We don't care about those things. Just bring some meat back."

Master Liu was speaking from his heart. If outsiders invite him, they must follow the rules.

It is feasible to invite people from the same household, but unlike outsiders, the emphasis is on helping each other.

In the future, when there is a happy event in Master Liu’s family, it is impossible for Master Liu to cook by himself. He must invite someone to prepare the banquet. This is a give-and-take approach.

Therefore, the rules of any industry are for people outside the industry, and they are definitely different for insiders.

Master Liu's attitude made Sha Zhu at a loss as to what to do for a moment, and he looked at Cai Quanwu for help.

Cai Quanwu heard the conversation between the two and understood what Master Liu meant.

Master Liu was thinking of asking Sha Zhu for help if he had any problems in the future.

If he helps you today and he asks you for help later, you will definitely help him.

After figuring it out, Cai Quanwu smiled and said to Sha Zhu, "Since Master Liu is so polite, forget about the money. Zhuzi, go to the kitchen and get two kilograms of meat for Master Liu. I remember that we bought a lot of candy, so get some for Master Liu as well."

When Sha Zhu heard what Cai Quanwu said, he hesitated for a while, took back the money and ran to the kitchen.

Master Liu was polite, and Cai Quanwu thought that they couldn't do any errands, so he gave him something to make up for it.

Everyone interacts with each other and everything goes well.

"No, no, Uncle Zhuzi, you are too polite. I brought two lunch boxes of braised pork, enough for a few meals at home."

When Master Liu saw that Cai Quanwu was so polite that he not only let Sha Zhu take the meat but also the candy, he immediately refused.

He was not stupid. Seeing that Sha Zhu prepared a lot of meat today, he made a lot more braised pork.

Moreover, when he served the meal, most of the meat he served was wild boar meat, with a lot of fat left over.

He filled two lunch boxes with fat meat.

To put it bluntly, if they take it back and boil it into oil, they can at least produce half a pound, which is enough for their family to eat for a month.

He felt ashamed and embarrassed to take other people's things like this.

"Master Liu, Lao Cai said to give it to you, so just take it. Otherwise, people will say that we are not polite people in our hospital." The second uncle interrupted when he saw Master Liu refuse.

In the eyes of the second uncle, Cai Quanwu never treated people unfairly when he asked others to do things for him.

This is what the second uncle admires the most.

Just at this moment, Sha Zhu came over with something, and Master Liu could only take it with a smile.

"Well deserved."
