Siheyuan: Crossing the two worlds, if you don't obey, you will be a beast

Chapter 151: Looking at the ingredients, the chef is in a dilemma

Unlike everyone who was celebrating, the most helpless person was Sha Zhu who was preparing the banquet.

Over the years, Sha Zhu has helped to prepare wedding banquets for so many people, but he has never had a chance to display his skills like this time.

Sha Zhu looked at the food in front of him and was speechless. There were only two kilograms of meat, ten kilograms of Chinese cabbage that looked like it had been picked, and twenty kilograms of sweet potatoes on the table. Apart from that, there was nothing else. What was even worse was that big bag of rotten leafy vegetables made Sha Zhu so angry that he stamped his feet.

Sha Zhu reluctantly searched through all the ingredients, and when he was sure that he couldn't find any other ingredients, he angrily threw down the spoon in his hand and shouted, "I won't do it anymore!"

These ingredients were so simple that even the dogs of wealthy families ate better than him. Sha Zhu felt that he was greatly insulted. This was not a banquet at all, but a perfunctory one.

Sha Zhu walked out of the kitchen angrily and came to the yard. He saw Qin Huairu busy helping, and he was even more dissatisfied. He couldn't help but complain to Qin Huairu: "Sister Qin, look at the ingredients for the banquet, they are too shabby, aren't they?"

Qin Huairu smiled helplessly and explained: "Zhu Zi, there is nothing we can do about this. You know who Yan Bugui is, and it is not easy to gather all these things. How about Second Uncle Yan Bugui is over there, why don't you go and talk to him to sort it out?"

Sha Zhu stared at Yan Bugui not far away, his anger growing. He said hello to Qin Huairu and strode towards Yan Bugui. Qin Huairu smiled knowingly, thinking that Sha Zhu would definitely get Yan Laokou to come up with some good things later. She planned to sneak into the kitchen to make out with Sha Zhu and pack some food to take home.

Not long after, Sha Zhu walked up to the second uncle Yan Bugui and questioned him bluntly in public: "Second uncle, did you forget to buy vegetables? As the dinner time is approaching, I, the chef, found that there are no vegetables in the kitchen! There are only less than two kilograms of lean meat, ten kilograms of leftover cabbage, twenty kilograms of sweet potatoes, and a pile of rotten vegetable leaves. Are you going to use these junk to entertain your relatives and friends?" As he spoke, Sha Zhu deliberately raised his voice.

Yan Bugui was embarrassed after hearing what Sha Zhu said, "Hey, how can you talk like that! What's wrong with these dishes? When there was a famine, we didn't even have these to eat! Just be content!"

"I am content?" Sha Zhu's eyes widened. "Second uncle, you are treating beggars like a fool! Although I am not a great chef, I have prepared banquets for many families. This little bit of yours is not even enough to feed a cat!"

The two of them argued back and forth until their faces turned red. The neighbors also gathered around to watch the fun.

Li Dongyu was thinking that since he was on vacation, he would come over to take a look today. He just happened to run into this and couldn't help but admire Yan Bugui, the stingy old man. He really made the most of such a good day.

This silly Zhu is really an idiot. On this wedding day, wouldn't you tell someone in private? It's like making a scene at the wedding by saying it directly.

In fact, Li Dongyu guessed correctly. This Sha Zhu was indeed a bit interesting. After all, apart from the monster Li Dongyu, the one with the best conditions in this compound was Sha Zhu. How come he was not included in the list of people to get married?

Even Yan Bugui's stupid eldest son, who had no job at all, married the beautiful Yu Li for only ten dollars. He felt really uncomfortable. Couldn't Shazhu vent his anger by taking advantage of Yan Bugui's behavior?

Anyway, hasn't he offended enough people? He's used to it.

In the end, because it was their family’s wedding day, it would not be nice to make a scene, so Yan Bugui could only smile and comfort the relatives and friends around him, then he dragged Sha Zhu into the kitchen.

"Zhu Zi, just be quiet for a moment, okay? Your red envelope uncle will never let you down. Can we get started right away?"

When Sha Zhu heard this, the corners of his mouth slowly rose, and then he said directly: "Second uncle, you should have said so earlier, but you have to give this red envelope now, five dollars, not a penny less, otherwise I, He Yuzhu, will not be able to prepare this banquet, after all, the ingredients are too simple. Without me as a chef, I am absolutely sure that other people will mess up your banquet this time, and then you, the second uncle, will lose face."

When Yan Bugui heard this, he cursed in his heart: "This kid is really asking for too much!" But he also knew that if he didn't agree to Sha Zhu's request, it would be difficult to hold this banquet. So he gritted his teeth, took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu took the red envelope, opened it and saw that there were indeed five one-dollar bills. He nodded with satisfaction, put the red envelope in his pocket, and then said to Yan Bugui: "Second uncle, don't worry, with these five dollars, I promise to make your banquet a grand one! Isn't it just simple ingredients? I will show you how a real chef can turn rottenness into magic, and how simple ingredients can be turned into a luxurious meal in the hands of a chef."

Although Yan Bugui was somewhat reluctant, he still nodded with a smile. He thought to himself: "As long as today's banquet can be held well, it is worth spending a few more dollars. Zhuzi, you have to fight for me, the second uncle."

Sha Zhu started to prepare the dishes for the banquet. He skillfully cut and cooked vegetables, his movements were smooth and flowing, as if he was an experienced chef. Yan Bugui looked at Sha Zhu's busy figure and secretly felt lucky: "Luckily, Sha Zhu helped, otherwise, with other people's cooking skills, they would definitely not be able to make such delicious and beautiful dishes."

Soon, delicious dishes were served on the table. The guests tasted the food and praised it highly. Yan Bugui also showed a satisfied smile on his face.

However, at this moment, Sha Zhu suddenly shouted: "Second Uncle, I see this banquet is so good, why don't you give me another five dollars!"

When Yan Bugui heard this, he felt dizzy and almost fainted. He stared at Sha Zhu with eyes wide open in disbelief. His lips trembled with anger and he couldn't say a word for a long time. The other guests also put down their chopsticks and looked at Sha Zhu in surprise, not knowing how to deal with this embarrassing situation.

However, Sha Zhu acted as if nothing had happened and continued calmly: "Second Uncle, look how successful today's banquet was! Everyone enjoyed the meal and you are so proud! Don't be stingy, give me another five dollars, and I promise to make you more face!" As he said that, he winked at Yan Bugui and showed a sly smile.
