Siheyuan, don't yell at me

Chapter 9: Same Table, Different Faces

He Daqing took out two pounds of meat, some cabbages, and a chicken from the sack and told Sha Zhu:

"Zhu Zi, your father and I will have our wedding banquet soon, go and cook.

Take a pound of meat, chop it into minced meat, and cook it in a pot with cabbage, adding more water.

Steam some more cornmeal steamed bread, more. There are more than ten families in our yard. Each family will receive three steamed bread. I will steam sixty first. I, He Daqing, can't be stingy.

Half of the chicken is fried and the other half is stewed.

Jinhua Matchmaker, go and lend a hand to Zhuzi."

After Shazhu and Jinhua the matchmaker left the house, He Daqing started taking things out of the sack.

He took out a brand new bright red cotton jacket with floral patterns and some cotton pants, which looked very festive.

Qin Huairu's dull eyes lit up again. This dress is so beautiful. It should, should be for me, right?

Although He Daqing is a very old, shameless and despicable man with children, he cares about me and it is not a loss for me to follow him.

Seeing Qin Huairu in a daze, He Daqing kicked her on the butt. He used too much strength and almost knocked her over.

"What are you standing there for? Silly woman, go put on your new clothes. Wearing these rags is embarrassing for me, He Daqing.

That’s right, put this away.

If an old woman doesn't have any gold jewelry, won't she be laughed at?"

He Daqing stuffed a heavy gold bracelet into Qin Huairu's hand and said:

"This is pure gold, don't let it fall off your hand, or I'll skin you alive."

Qin Huairu held a new cotton-padded jacket in one hand and a heavy gold bracelet in the other, and looked at He Daqing in shock.

The surprise came too suddenly, Qin Huairu felt her whole head buzzing and went blank.

The gold bracelet was not bought by He Daqing specifically, but was opened from the silver treasure chest given by the system task.

He Daqing originally planned to wear it himself, but he didn't expect it to be a women's bracelet, so he had to give it to Qin Huairu.

Seeing that Qin Huairu didn't move, He Daqing kicked Qin Huairu in the butt again.

"Damn it, go change your clothes.

Are you a fool? If you are, I won't get married. Please return the clothes and bracelet to me."

Qin Huairu quickly shook her head:

"No, I'm not stupid. I'll go change my clothes now..."

He Daqing was afraid that Qin Huairu couldn't wear Lai Cheng's clothes, so he followed her in and wanted to teach her how to change, but someone was looking for her outside.

After hearing this, He Daqing reluctantly walked out of the door.

It turned out to be Liu Haizhong from the backyard. Liu Haizhong is also a talented person.

The whole family was starving, and he even had a double chin from eating so much.

It was Liu Haizhong who brought his eldest son, moved the tables and chairs from home, and came to greet him.

Normally, when the courtyard held a banquet, they would borrow tables and chairs from Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai.

The conditions of these two families were not bad, with complete tables and chairs, so they were happy to help even if it was just a small favor.

There are families with better conditions, such as Xu Damao's family and Sha Zhu's family.

Xu Damao and his father Xu Fugui are a family that only does immoral things that harm others and themselves, so naturally they would not lend tables and chairs to others.

With He Daqing, a scoundrel, around, no one dared to borrow tables and chairs from Sha Zhu's house.

He Daqing praised Liu Haizhong with a smile.

“Big head Liu, quite sensible.

That damn eunuch Yi Zhonghai is so rude. Go and carry out his tables and chairs.

Today is He Daqing's wedding banquet, so it must be grand.

I went to find Xu Fugui. Damn it, on my wedding day, He Daqing, none of them were able to open their eyes..."

After a commotion in the backyard, Xu Fugui and Xu Damao reluctantly carried tables and chairs to the middle yard, followed by a cheerful He Daqing.

As the tables and chairs were put in place, the residents in the courtyard, with a representative from each family, also sat down one by one, all of them men of all ages.

That's how it is these days. Women are generally not allowed to sit at the table to eat, especially in formal occasions.

Even an elder like the deaf old lady is not qualified to sit at the table. At most, someone can serve a meal to her.

Sha Zhu’s cooking skills are really good, at least he has no problem cooking a few home-cooked dishes, and the aroma of meat soon spreads throughout the yard.

He Daqing sat alone at a table with three plates on it: one plate of peanuts, one plate of melon seeds, and one plate of candy.

The other people in the yard were sitting at two tables, but the tables were empty.

He Daqing didn't care about the people at the two tables. Their ugly faces and the resentment points prompted by the system made He Daqing even more proud.

After eating a peanut, he made a strange noise and gave everyone some scientific knowledge:

"Oh my~

These peanuts are too crispy~

Oh my~

The salty flavor is too strong~

Really tasty~

Do you know why these peanuts are so delicious?

I added more than a dozen spices including bay leaves, cinnamon, peppercorns, star anise, dried red peppers, etc. to stir-fry it. How can it not taste delicious?

Hahahaha~"

Everyone's faces looked as ugly as if they had eaten shit. They wanted to snatch the peanuts from He Daqing's table and eat one to see what the peanuts fried with more than a dozen spices tasted like.

Everyone was hoping that He Daqing would choke to death on the peanut shells. This damn He Daqing was so wicked.

The country was still fighting against the United States and aiding Bang in the north, and all kinds of materials and resources were tilted towards the war.

Prices are soaring, currency depreciation is serious, everyone is tightening their belts and living a hard life. It is difficult to even have enough cornmeal, let alone peanuts and melon seeds.

He Daqing then focused on introducing the taste of melon seeds and candies to everyone, and even showed off his rare literary talent by telling a few short stories about cooking.

After this series of operations, He Daqing earned a total of 7,000 to 8,000 resentment points, and his face was twitching from smiling.

For He Daqing, Siheyuan is a really good place, and everyone here is a talented person.

They speak nicely and have a very good temper. The best thing is that they are all kind-hearted and are trying their best to give He Daqing resentment points.

As He Yuzhu brought out a large plate of minced cabbage and meat, the expressions of the guests at the two tables finally eased.

Everyone thought that this scoundrel He Daqing was finally a decent person. He had cabbage with minced meat and steamed buns made of three-grain flour. He looked presentable. At least he had some meat.

He Daqing grinned, and placed a bottle of bulk white wine and a pack of homemade cigarettes on each table.

The guests were all smiling and praised He Daqing for being a good man. They said the wedding banquet was well organized with cigarettes, wine, vegetables and meat.

He Daqing laughed even more vigorously and waved his hand.

He Yuzhu started serving food to He Daqing's table and immediately served three main dishes.

One braised pork, half a stewed chicken, half a roasted chicken, and a big bowl of white flour steamed buns.

The guests were smiling one second ago, but the next they were all angry and wanted to tear He Daqing to pieces.

He Daqing looked at the guests, their faces looked as if they were dead, and he couldn't help but feel happy.

The system keeps beeping because of the resentment points.

He Daqing chuckled and said this was just the beginning.

Then he spent his resentment points to buy a pack of Huazi and a bottle of Maotai from the system supply and marketing cooperative, and put them on his table, which immediately raised the atmosphere of the wedding banquet to the clouds~
