At this time, the third uncle spoke up: "Everyone, be quiet, what the second uncle said is not true, it is indeed the matter of Lao Yi and Jia Dongxu recognizing each other, but someone misunderstood. It was Lao Yi who wanted to recognize Jia Dongxu as his godson. The person who said that should go back and reflect on himself, and stop imagining things!"

The third uncle was worthy of being a people's teacher. He corrected the second uncle's linguistic error with just a few words.

The second uncle also said quickly: "Yes, that's what I mean, don't let your imagination run wild..."

"You're just daydreaming!" the third uncle reminded.

"Oh, yes, it's just random thoughts. We need to understand the leader's meaning."

"I understand!" The third uncle reminded again, feeling helpless.

"Yeah, yes, I get it. We need to understand what the leader means. We..." Liu Haizhong started talking again.

Yan Fugui had no choice but to interrupt: "Hey, Second Master, let's get down to business!"

Liu Haizhong was feeling good, not realizing the impatience of the people below, and the dark faces of Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu. He was a little dissatisfied when he heard the reminder from the third uncle. When he saw the third uncle reminding him to look at everyone, he realized that he had offended everyone, so he had to end his speech and said, "Let our third uncle speak now!"

After saying this, he didn't even look at Yan Fugui's aggrieved expression, but sat down and started drinking water.

Yan Fugui had no choice but to say, "This is about Jia Dongxu... um, it's Old Yi who recognized Jia Dongxu as his godson. Today, I want to let everyone know about this letter. Set up two tables in the courtyard this weekend, and everyone will come together to bear witness to Old Yi and Jia Dongxu. Is that okay with everyone?"

"no problem!"

"Okay, if Uncle San had said so earlier, it would have been over."

After everyone in the compound said that it was okay, the third uncle was about to announce the end of the meeting when he saw Yi Zhonghai stand up and say to He Daqing: "Daqing, are you free this weekend? Help me cook a banquet. You are a famous chef in the city, and we are neighbors in the same compound. Cooking a banquet should be no problem, right? It's a matter of helping each other. In the future, if someone has something to do, they will still have to ask you for help."

He Daqing was stunned, then realized that Yi Zhonghai was not honest. You said whether you would charge for preparing the banquet in the courtyard. If you charge, people would say that you are inconsiderate of your neighbors, but if you don't charge, you will be at a loss. Si looked and saw that everyone in the courtyard was looking at him with shining eyes. He Daqing was more certain. If he agreed, he would have no good life in the future. It would be this or that. One day this group of people would definitely find a way to ask you to cook. He knew the people in this courtyard too well.

He Daqing rolled his eyes and spoke: "It's not that I don't give you face, I have something to do this weekend, and I'm also preparing a banquet for someone. It was booked out half a month ago, so you should find someone else!"

Yi Zhonghai was not surprised and continued, "Then let the 4 pillars help, I heard that the pillars have already started cooking!"

He Yuzhu was arguing with Xu Damao. When he heard someone talking about him, he realized that Yi Zhonghai was really something. It had only been a short time and he was already plotting against him again.

He said hurriedly: "I can't do that. I haven't finished my apprenticeship yet, so I can't be a host."

Yi Zhonghai said again: "It's okay, Zhuzi, this is just helping the courtyard, it doesn't count as a feast for you, tell others that you are kind and help your neighbors, don't be too selfish, your brother Jia has helped you a lot in the past, and if you help your brother Jia, his family will help you in the future. If your master knows, he will probably praise you!"

Shang's father also heard that Yi Zhonghai was still not giving up. He had never intended to find He Daqing from the beginning. His target had always been He Yuzhu. He had to trick He Yuzhu into doing something as trivial as this. If He Yuzhu agreed to this, Yi Zhonghai would spread the word that He Yuzhu was taking on guests outside before he even became a chef, and He Yuzhu's reputation would be ruined in the chef circle. He first looked for He Daqing, but he knew that He Daqing would definitely not agree. Then he talked about He Yuzhu and brought up Jia Dongxu to make He Yuzhu feel apologetic. This put He Yuzhu in a difficult position, but Shang's father couldn't say anything because He Yuzhu's biological father He Daqing was still there. If you said something, you would be taking over other people's business, and He Daqing would lose face.

He Daqing also saw it, and just as he was about to start scolding, he saw He Yuzhu speak: "Dad, you tell my brother Dongxu about the rules of our chefs. After that, brother Dongxu asked me to cook this banquet. I also accepted it. I will do it. Just consider it as repaying the favor that brother Jia has done for us brothers and sisters!"

Jia Dongxu was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He really didn't know some of the problems in the chef circle. He looked at He Daqing. He Daqing also knew that Jia Dongxu was a good guy, so he started to explain it to him.

When Jia Dongxu heard this, he realized that this was related to He Yuzhu's future, and He Yuzhu had said that, so he didn't wait for Yi Zhonghai to speak and hurriedly said, "Uncle He, Zhuzi, we really didn't know that you chefs have the rule of not cooking without cooking. This is all my fault. I apologize to you and your son."

He Daqing and He Yuzhu quickly said that they didn't care and that ignorance is not a crime.

Jia Dongxu said to He Daqing again: "Uncle He, I still need your help to find a cook. I will ask him to cook the food while I prepare it. I will ask the aunties in the yard to help with the washing and rinsing. Don't worry, I will pay the cook normally, and the aunties who help can pack up the leftovers according to the rules. You see..."

He Daqing and Yi Zhonghai had a grudge, but he also had high hopes for Jia Dongxu. Besides, Jia Dongxu had also helped He Yuzhu and He Yushui when he was on the run, so he had no choice but to agree to help find a cook. When the time came, Jia Dongxu would negotiate the price with the cook, and he would only be responsible for building a bridge and would not take care of anything else. Jia Dongxu thanked him again.

Just when everyone was about to leave, Shang's father called Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai, and then the two of them came to He's house. He Daqing was surprised to see Shang's father bringing these two people to his house, but he also asked and poured some water for them.

Mr. Shang said, "Jia Dongxu, have you told Master Yi that I will ask you to return to Master Yi's workshop in a few days?"

Jia Dongxu looked at Shang's father and said, "I told my master when I came back."

Father Shang looked at Jia Dongxu with a smile and said, "Jia Dongxu, you go first. I have something to talk to your master."

Jia Dongxu looked at Shang's father, then at Yi Zhonghai. Yi Zhonghai nodded, and Jia Dongxu had to get up and say goodbye.

Father Shang looked at Yi Zhonghai without saying anything. He just looked at him. Yi Zhonghai was able to remain calm at first, but after a while he became anxious and sweat could be seen on his forehead.

Yi Zhonghai said, "Director Shang, is there anything you want to talk to me about? You're looking at me like this without saying anything, and I feel like... That's right. I also have to thank you for transferring Dongxu back to the fitter workshop..."
