Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

Seeing that the time was almost up and there was no time to delay any longer, Sun Dajiang winked at his two sons. The brothers understood immediately that this was a prior agreement, so they walked to the front.

When the people below saw the protagonist appear, they all quieted down.

After the two brothers stood up, they first bowed to the audience. Then, Sun Zhengguo cleared his throat and spoke loudly.

“Dear leaders, dear teachers, dear classmates, and elders and brothers and sisters who care about me:

Good afternoon everyone!

I am very happy that you can take time out of your busy schedule to attend our graduation banquet. First of all, on behalf of my family, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all the guests for coming! "

"Papa..."

"People often say that when you drink water, remember its source. ..."

"Finally, I wish everyone here good health, smooth work, and everything goes well."

"I hope everyone eats and drinks well."

"thank you all!"

After Sun Zhengguo finished speaking, the banquet officially began.

Master and apprentice Liu Dachuan hurriedly got busy. Liu Dachuan heated oil in a wok, and when the oil was 70% hot, he put in onions, ginger, garlic, red peppers, and bean paste. After stir-frying evenly, he put in the prepared dishes and skillfully swung the wok, turning left and right. His movements were graceful and fluent, and he controlled the heat just right, which was pleasing to the eye at first glance.

As the food in the pot continued to roll, a rich aroma wafted through the entire courtyard. In a short while, a delicious dish was presented in front of everyone.

"Serve!"

Following Liu Dachuan's loud shout, the helpers began to bring the dishes to the table in an orderly manner.

The guests in the courtyard were already starving, and when they smelled this fragrance, they could no longer resist. After a moment of restraint, they began to wave their chopsticks around rapidly.

"This dish is really delicious, better than anything Sha Zhu makes."

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Master Liu is Sha Zhu's master! If you are not as good as Sha Zhu, then what is the point of being here?"

"Yes, yes, let's eat the vegetables. Oh my god! My favorite braised pork is here. I haven't eaten meat for a long time. I won't say anything more. Let's eat the meat quickly."

Neighbors from the compound were sitting in the front yard, talking while eating.

Compared to the front yard, the guests in the middle yard were much more elegant. They ate and chatted leisurely, and laughed from time to time.

At the cadres' table, the dishes were hardly touched. Everyone seemed to have a special liking for wine, toasting each other with glass after glass. Of course, the main target was definitely Deputy Director Yang, because he was the most senior official!

"Deputy Director Yang, I'd like to offer you a toast to thank you for your steel rolling mill's support for our subdistrict office's work. I hope that in the coming year, Deputy Director Yang can pay more attention to the employment issues of our subdistrict office."

"Director Wang, what you said is wrong. We support each other. We are all part of each other, and none of us can be missing. So, this glass of wine is for everyone present."

"Yes, yes, everyone, come on, let's drink this cup!"

"Dry……!"

"Hahaha……."

The atmosphere at the cadres' seats gradually spread to other tables, and everyone followed suit. The atmosphere in the entire Central Court became more and more lively.

After three rounds of dishes and five flavors of wine, Sun Dajiang led his family to start toasting table by table.

When the toast was delivered to the cadres' table, Deputy Director Yang made a joke and said that in the future, when the two children were assigned jobs, they should both come to the steel mill. In this way, it would be a good story for the whole family to work in the steel mill.

Sun Dajiang could only say that he would obey the leadership's arrangements, and his opinion on the specific assignments would not count.

After the toast, people began to leave slowly, and Sun Dajiang and his sons began to see them off again.

They didn't return to the courtyard until all the guests had left. Liu Dachuan and his friends had just finished eating and were dismantling the stove. Several aunties were helping to clear the table, hoping to take some leftovers back.

But the dishes Liu Dachuan cooked today were so delicious that there was almost nothing left at the other tables. There was quite a bit left at the cadres’ table, and several aunties each got a little, so it was not in vain.

After everyone had finished their work, Sun Dajiang saw Liu Dachuan was about to leave, so he quickly took out the red envelope he had prepared and said with gratitude.

"Director Liu, thank you so much for today. The dishes you cooked were absolutely amazing and everyone was very satisfied with the meal. This is a small token of my appreciation. I hope you don't think it's too little."

Sun Dajiang was indeed satisfied today, so he gave a lot of red envelopes, with 20 yuan wrapped in a red paper slip. It was obvious from the appearance that how Liu Dachuan divided it was none of his business.

When Liu Dachuan saw the red envelope, he didn't try to be humble and just reached out to take it. He made a living by his cooking skills, so there was no need for him to be humble.

"As long as Section Chief Sun praises me and everyone is satisfied, I, Old Liu, will accept the money."

"It should, it should."

Liu Dachuan got the money, called several people to Sha Zhu's house, and divided the money on the spot.

Liu Dachuan took 10 yuan for himself, gave 6 yuan to Sha Zhu, and gave 2 yuan to each of the two helpers.

The two helpers had no objection and accepted it happily, but Sha Zhu disagreed, thinking that the master gave too much.

I have to say that Liu Dachuan was really nice to Sha Zhu. In the end, Sha Zhu was scolded by Liu Dachuan, and then he took the money with a smile.

After the few people divided the money, Liu Dachuan also wanted to leave. After all, it was very tiring to cook for 10 tables of people, so he wanted to go back and rest early.

In front of the courtyard gate, Sha Zhu waved his hand and said goodbye to his master.

"Master, please slow down."

"Go back!"

Liu Dachuan rode his bike away without even looking back.

With Liu Dachuan's departure, today's banquet came to a successful conclusion.

After finishing his work, Sun Dajiang returned home tired as a dead dog. He lay on the bed and snored loudly.

Seeing that her husband was so tired, Lin Wencui did not disturb him. Instead, they went to the ear room and started chatting.

"What? Mom and Dad, you're leaving tomorrow. You guys are not going to stay for long. You guys finally came here. Why don't you wait until Dajiang wakes up?"

Inside the room, seeing her parents were about to leave, Lin Wencui tried to persuade them to stay.

"Wen Cui, don't stay. It's too inconvenient for so many of us to be here. Besides, our family also needs people, right?"

The people nearby couldn't help but nodded when they heard what grandpa said.

What can Lin Wencui say?

Never mind, let’s wait until Sun Dajiang wakes up before making a decision!
