Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

After the song, Wen Zhi came on stage to give a speech, blessing the couple's marriage, encouraging the couple to work together, give birth to more children, and contribute to the country's construction. After the speech, the couple faced the photos hanging on the wall, bowed deeply three times, and the marriage ceremony ended successfully.

Chen Xueru became a newlywed and was led into the boudoir by Yu Shui to chat about trivial matters;

As the groom, Li Aiguo held out melon seeds and candies to those who came to celebrate, and the room was filled with laughter and joy.

After eating two very sweet candies in the sea, he was eager to return home to attend his own dinner. At this time, two large hot pots had been set up in front of the house.

Master chef Lao Yang was cooking at the stove, while Fu'er and the second aunt were busy side by side.

"Master Yang, remember to use less oil when cooking. The price of oil is so high now!" Haizhong reminded again.

Suddenly, there was a loud "bang" and the spatula hit the cutting board hard. Lao Yang said angrily, "Brother Liu, if you continue like this, I won't be able to attend the banquet today."

Originally expecting a generous extra income, Lao Yang was full of hope, hoping to become famous with this job and live a worry-free life with this income. But reality soon shattered this dream, and the reminder in the sea revealed that this job was far from being so simple.

The dishes prepared by the Liu family were all simple vegetables such as cabbage and radish, with no combination of meat or vegetables. How could they prepare a banquet like this?

At Haizhong's strong request, Lao Yang used his unique skills - he designed several delicacies, including: "Stir-fried Chinese cabbage with baby cabbage, stewed radish and carrot together; stir-fried Chinese cabbage with baby carrot, stir-fried small and large vegetables. Stir-fried Chinese cabbage and large vegetables together" and so on.

For students with a good foundation in mathematics, can they estimate the total number of dishes?

The original stir-fry of vegetables is not simple enough to begin with. If not enough oil is added, wouldn’t it be enough to feed even cows and horses?

Seeing this, the fat master was obviously unhappy. Liu Haizhong frowned and said, "Fat master, do you not want to take your salary anymore?"

The fat master did not respond.

The plight of living under a roof forces one to bow his head, and the fat chef seems to have decided to challenge the rules of his predecessors in the culinary world.

After successfully suppressing the fat master, Liu Hai broke off his hands and put them on his waist, and came to Yi Zhonghai's house.

He planned to set up a table outside the lobby for Yi Zhonghai to collect the money donated by all the owners - collecting gifts is an honorable task. In response, Yi Zhonghai immediately nodded and agreed, completing this obligation without hesitation.

Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai lifted the table together and walked outside.

As I stepped into the yard,

Liu Haizhong saw Yan Bu leading a group of residents to unload vegetables and meat onto Wang Dagui's cart:

Celery, Chinese cabbage, green vegetables, and a dozen large fresh carps.

Surprisingly, a piece of pork belly weighs more than 20 pounds! There are also a variety of seasonings and ingredients.

Liu Haizhong's heart suddenly trembled, frowned and looked straight at Yan Bugui and asked: "Master Yan, you bought so many ingredients, are you preparing a feast for the guests?" Yan Bugui accidentally bumped into Liu Haizhong, his eyes flashed and changed, and replied: "This is not my own purchase, it is all the joint efforts of the residents. "

When he heard that they didn't do it alone, the doubts in his bangs were slightly alleviated. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he couldn't help but ask, "The residents gathered together to buy these foods in order to have a feast at your house at noon?"

At this time, the frame of the glasses was gently adjusted, and Yan Bugui smiled and said, "Old Liu, things may not be as easy to explain as you think. Everyone in the big family donated collectively to hold a wedding banquet for Li Aiguo. So I will not go to your house for lunch."

Upon hearing the news, Liu Haizhong's face suddenly changed, and his heart felt as cold as a pouring summer rain.

In the past few days, he always felt that something was wrong with these neighbors. Those people acted very strangely and hid when they saw him.

Looking back at the current situation, on this scorching hot summer afternoon, cold sweat soaked his clothes.

Now thinking back on the signs of the past few days, everything seemed to have an answer. It turned out that these people had already made their wishful thinking!

"Yan Bugui, what you did is really unkind." Liu Haizhong cut off the conversation, unafraid of the situation, "Old Liu, the decision to raise funds collectively to hold a banquet for Li Aiguo has been supported by District Director Wang. If you have any questions about this, you should go and communicate with Wang to resolve it now."

Faced with this situation, Liu Haizhong's face showed humiliation and embarrassment, and he couldn't say a word.

Yi Zhonghai, who just learned about this news, thought about it and seemed to understand the reason. He thought: Maybe the beginning of all this was the shock caused by your two-yuan red envelope, which led to everyone's withdrawal!

He tried to calm the emotional Liu Hai: "Old Liu, don't be too anxious. You see, you are a second-generation rich kid, and Li Aiguo is just an ordinary resident. How can he compare with you?"

The dishes for the wedding banquet have been arranged and the stove has been set up; at this moment, Liu Haizhong seemed more like he was forced to carry out a task, appearing helpless and unwilling.

There's no use regretting it.

Liu Haizhong could only grit his teeth and said, "I don't believe I will lose to Li Aiguo."

The story is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue exploring!

Then, the two of them moved the table and walked outside. Yi Zhonghai sat down at the table steadily, put the gift on the table, and waved his hand towards the table. "Lao Liu, I'll prepare this gift for you first."

This behavior is simply stealing the show.

I felt much more comfortable in the middle of my fringe.

After all, the preparations for the banquet have been fully revealed, and the previous secret battle has now turned into an open competition. Neighbors in the community are no longer hiding their identities.

Yan Jiecheng brought a few young children with him and set up two large stoves next to Li's house as cooking equipment.

Yan Bugui took on the overall responsibility of preparing for the banquet and notified each neighbor one by one.

So, under the leadership of Xu Damao, Zhang Gangtie, the new daughter-in-law of the Zhang family and the older women of the Liu family, they took out tables, chairs and benches from each room and placed them in front of the Li family's door.

The originally silent courtyard suddenly became bustling.

But because both families were located in the backyard, when Liu Haizhong returned to the front door, he saw the busy scene outside and his mood instantly became depressed.

Liu Guangqi realized that something was wrong, so he walked up to Liu Haizhong and asked in a low voice, "Are we still going to prepare for the banquet? Are we going to stop now?"

"We have to do it!" Liu Haizhong pursed his lips tightly and responded, "Should I give in and let them all dance around Li Aiguo and let him be complacent?"

Liu Guangqi could not interfere in this matter.

The only thing he could do was to ask Fatty to be more careful when cooking the dishes next time so that everyone would be attracted to come here for the meal.

But thinking of the performance of the chef god Nan Yi on the opposite side, the fat man frowned and his eyes turned slightly red.

The chef's cooking skills were no less than Zhang Gangtie or Sha Zhu's. Moreover, the other side had abundant ingredients, such as chicken, duck, fish and meat.

On the contrary, his culinary team is only good at preparing some vegetarian dishes, without too many luxurious dishes.

How does this compare?

Just like that, without any warning, a secret competition began at the banquet between the Li family and the Liu Haizhong family.

The two sides arranged the allocation of the banquet venue in an orderly manner, using the old camphor tree in front of the deaf old lady's house as the boundary, and neither side would step into the other's area.

During this banquet, although it was a family dinner hosted by Mr. Li, he was able to chat and drink tea with several colleagues from the engineering workshop in a relaxed manner, enjoying his own quiet moment.

However, at the other side of the scene, Xu Damao was sweating profusely and panting while moving the table. He saw Mr. Li across from him leisurely and relaxed.

He immediately threw down the table in his hands in anger.

"Today is my wedding banquet. Why am I as tired as my grandson? But he is so relaxed?"

Facing Xu Damao's puzzled look and reproach, Zhang Gangtie frowned and replied: "You want to go to Liu Hai's house to pay the two-yuan entrance fee. No one is stopping you. Go over quickly."

At this time, Xu Damao could only lower his head and remain silent.

Although two dollars of wedding money is insignificant, I, Damao, am not short of wealth.

The key point is that when he saw the lush green ingredients in Mr. Liu’s pot, he became intimidated and had no appetite at all.

Then I glanced at the Lijiayuan hot pot, which had braised pork, duck, and braised fish.

What’s amazing is that even in big hotels, the food is just like this, and you can enjoy the delicious food for only 3 cents?

Although Damao is not kind, he is not clumsy.

The ease of the choice is self-evident.

"Oh, I'm tired. There's nothing to worry about!" Damao laughed awkwardly and continued to move the table.

Zhang Gangzhu took this opportunity to teach him: "If we were in front of Li Aiguo, our lives would be so difficult. People should know how to repay their gratitude."

Damao was about to burst into tears.

She scraped together the gift money for his wedding banquet, and also helped with the housework. At the end, she had to thank Li Aiguo.

Why is this world like this!

The other homeowners living in the courtyard were much more aware than Damao. With his organization in a short period of time, the tables and stools were all arranged.

then,

The two sisters-in-law then instructed everyone to place bright red paper wedding characters on each table, put teapots, and spread out fruit plates filled with sunflower seeds - even weddings held in large restaurants could not enjoy such treatment.

After all, the residents live nearby!

The tea sets and plates were all brought from home, and the sunflower seeds were a public financial expense.

Jia Zhang originally planned to go to Liu's Mansion to attend the banquet, but as soon as she smelled the tempting fragrance, she went straight to Li's Mansion.

She was unaware of the people staring at her, and simply sat down and picked up the sunflower seeds, intending to put them into her pocket.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, what are you doing!?" Damao happened to see it and walked over with a grim expression.

Zhang refused to give in. She puffed out her chest and glared at Damao with crooked eyes: "Brother Damao, this is not your family's banquet, why do you interfere with me?"

Damao laughed and said, "Zhang, this is not right. I also paid for the food for the banquet. If you secretly took it home, it would be the same as stealing my private property."
