Yan Bugui became alert when he heard this and said quickly:

"Silly Zhu! It's okay! Dumplings made with bacon are delicious too!

Besides, your bacon has just been pickled, so it is almost the same as fresh meat."

As soon as Yan Bugui finished speaking, the neighbors in the yard responded one after another.

He Yuzhu smiled slightly, looked at Yan Bugui and said:

"Uncle, if bacon can be used to make dumplings, doesn't your family also use salted pork?

Uncle One, Uncle Two, you guys pickled a lot of food at home, right?"

And who among the neighbors in the yard didn’t pickle? I guess only the Jia family and the deaf old lady in the backyard didn’t pickle. "

After He Yuzhu said this, no one in the yard dared to speak.

Yi Zhonghai stood up again, he really couldn't help it.

I have to admit that Yi Zhonghai is stubborn.

Although he had just been speechless after being criticized by He Yuzhu, he still wanted to fight for it.

"He Yuzhu, how can it be the same? You are a canteen director and you don't need a mouth.

The neighbors in the yard are still counting on this meat for half a year?"

He Yuzhu suddenly burst into laughter, laughing so hard that tears were almost coming out.

"Yi Zhonghai, do you think what you said is human language? How come my canteen director is not short of words?

In the steel mill, I eat what you eat.

You need tickets to eat, and I also need tickets. Why are you treating us working class differently?

Are you insinuating that I embezzled money in the cafeteria?"

As soon as He Yuzhu said this, everyone looked at Yi Zhonghai.

How could Yi Zhonghai dare to accept such a big accusation? He quickly waved his hands to deny it.

Then he started to defend himself: "He Yuzhu, that's not what I meant.

Putting aside the facts, you can't be too selfish! You are now the canteen director, with a high salary and good benefits.

If you want to eat meat, you can buy it on the black market! It’s only a little more expensive than outside.”

"What? Yi Zhonghai! You actually asked me to go to the black market to buy meat?" He Yuzhu pretended to be surprised.

These days, the existence of the black market is indeed somewhat helpless.

But despite this, everyone knows its special nature, but dare not get involved in it easily.

Even if you want to go to the black market, you have to do it secretly. Who would directly persuade others to go to the black market?

However, Yi Zhonghai openly suggested to He Yuzhu that he buy meat on the black market.

This behavior is truly shocking.

I saw the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a sly smile.

He turned around and said loudly to all the neighbors in the yard:

"Neighbors, did you all hear that? Yi Zhonghai actually asked me to buy meat from the black market!

As to whether this is the right thing to do, I am not sure, I hope you can give me a testimony!

After all, this is what a great old man in our courtyard asked me to do!"

As soon as He Yuzhu finished speaking, the entire courtyard fell into dead silence.

No one was willing to stand up and agree with him, let alone prove it for him.

Everyone knows that this matter involves black market transactions, and once discovered, the consequences will be disastrous.

However, at this moment, a figure slowly stood up.

There was an angry look on his face - it was He Yuzhu's father He Daqing.

He looked at Yi Zhonghai coldly, anger flashing in his eyes, and cursed: "Yi Zhonghai, you old loser!

How dare you instigate my son to go to the black market? If something happens, can you take the responsibility?

Shazhu, let's go to the street office early tomorrow morning to ask.

Let's see whether Yi Zhonghai was right or wrong in asking you to buy meat on the black market!"

He Daqing's voice resounded throughout the yard, like a thunderclap, shaking everyone's heartstrings.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

Yi Zhonghai's face turned pale. He obviously did not expect He Daqing to suddenly come forward and accuse him.

"This... that's not what I meant..."

These words scared Yi Zhonghai greatly.

He was about to speak.

A voice of restraint came from the backyard wall.

"okay!"

As soon as they heard the voice, everyone knew who was coming.

The ancestor of the courtyard is a deaf old lady.

As soon as he heard the voice of the deaf old lady, Yi Zhonghai instantly felt reassured.

He trotted to the archway between the backyard and the middle courtyard and helped the old lady out.

She deliberately scolded him: "Old lady, why did you come over here?"

The deaf old lady pretended to be angry and said, "Zhong Hai! You are confused!

How can you force Zhuzi to pay both money and tickets? The old lady still has some meat tickets here."

As they were talking, the deaf old lady had already arrived in front of He Yuzhu.

After standing still, she took out the cloth bag in front of everyone and reached in to feel around for a while.

Then he took out more than ten three-two tickets from it.

Then, she took out another five yuan from her bag and handed it directly to He Yuzhu:

"Zhu Zi, I paid for this money and ticket. You can use it to buy some meat."

He Yuzhu looked at the deaf old lady's smiling face, her eyes almost narrowed into slits.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that this old deaf man is really a fox.

He pretended to be in great trouble, sighed helplessly and said:

"Old lady, how can I take your money? This meat... I'd better think of other ways."

In fact, he knew it very well.

The deaf old lady did this simply to show her presence.

He knew that the old deaf man was certain that he would not take her money or tickets.

For him now.

Just five pounds of pork was nothing, but he didn't want these people to take advantage of him.

The deaf old lady was delighted when she heard He Yuzhu rejected her kindness.

His expression changed and he said seriously, "Just take it when I tell you to, hurry up! Don't dawdle!"

He Yuzhu knew that the deaf old lady was angry with him.

She thought she would definitely not accept the money and the ticket.

So as a matter of fact:

"Well, old lady, I have the money, but I can't take out the ticket. It would be disrespectful to refuse it."

A sly smile appeared on He Yuzhu's face.

After saying that, He Yuzhu stretched out his hand quickly, faster than lightning.

Like lightning, he quickly took over the dozen or so pieces of meat.

At the last moment, the old lady tightly grasped the hostage in her hand.

But Yu Zhu's move was too fast and she had no time to react.

When she came to her senses, the ticket in her hand had already fallen into He Yuzhu's hands.

At this time, the deaf old lady realized that this idiot Zhu did not play by the rules today?

In a hurry, she looked to Yi Zhonghai for help.

Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai hurried forward.

He knew very well that the deaf old lady was the most greedy and would buy some meat from time to time to satisfy her cravings.

However, what gave him a headache was that He Yuzhu was now also a difficult person to deal with.

It might be a bit of a hassle to get the ticket back from him.

Yi Zhonghai was seen trying to grab the hostage from He Yuzhu's hand.

Unexpectedly, He Yuzhu suddenly let go, and more than ten tickets fell directly into Yi Zhonghai's hands.

Before Yi Zhonghai could react, he quickly stuffed another five dollars into his hand.
