Siheyuan: Started in 1950, third-level cook

After the people in the yard packed up the leftovers on the table, they started cleaning up spontaneously.

I have to clean it up. The plates, bowls and chopsticks used for the banquet were basically collected from various households. I can't take them back if I don't clean them up.

The third uncle Yan Bugui returned to the backyard contentedly and took the youngest child of the family from Lin Yao.

"Chen Jun, come on, let's go inside. I have something to tell you."

After saying that, he carried the child into the house.

Seeing this, Chen Jun followed.

When they got into the house, Yan Bugui put today's account book and money on the table: "These are gifts from the people in the steel mill. Please keep them."

After that, he took out a small stack of bills from his pocket and put them on the table: "These are the money left over from the banquet. There are still eight dollars and seventy-five cents."

Upon seeing this, Chen Jun took the first gift he had paid in advance and pushed the remaining money back.

"Uncle, you've been busy all the time, so you should at least get two dollars as a reward."

Ok?

Yan Bugui's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he took out two yuan from the bank with a smile: "Then I won't be polite, Third Uncle. You know what, I've been busy all morning, and my arms and mouth are a little sore."

Chen Jun smiled and asked. Are your arms and mouth tired from working?

Are you sure you weren't eating too hard just now?

The third uncle looked quite thin, but his appetite today really shocked Chen Jun. He ate almost from start to finish without drinking a sip of water.

"What about this money?" Yan Bugui pointed at the remaining six dollars and seventy-five cents with his eyes.

What he meant was that he wanted Chen Jun to just take the money. After all, it was a wedding banquet, so how could he not take a penny?

But Chen Jun said bluntly: "I can't take this money, and it's not appropriate for you to take it either. We're going to drink tea and play mahjong in the afternoon, so just use the money to buy peanuts, melon seeds, candies, and some fruit desserts for the children."

Spent it all?

Yan Bugui looked at the money, then looked at Chen Jun, and felt a little painful.

This is six dollars and seventy-five cents!

It was equivalent to an ordinary worker’s weekly salary, but Chen Jun pushed it out without even blinking an eye.

"Hiss, you don't plan to take a penny?" Yan Bugui couldn't help but say.

"No, this money is collected by the people in the hospital, and it has to be spent on them." Chen Jun's attitude was very clear.

In fact, Chen Jun doesn't really care about this amount of money. Six dollars is not six thousand dollars.

"Well, since you said that, I don't want my two dollars anymore. Let's use it to buy things. We can have fun together and it can also enhance the atmosphere in the courtyard."

"By the way, Chen Jun, I have to ask you a favor."

Suddenly, Yan Bugui changed the subject and became serious.

"Uncle, you say."

"Your family hosted a very impressive banquet. I guess people will talk about it in a few years. My Jie Cheng has a job now. I plan to find him a wife in a year or two. You can come and help cook when the time comes."

Whether before or now, the taste of the banquet is the most impressive.

People who come to the banquet don’t care how lively your wedding is or how beautifully the bride is dressed. They only care about whether the gifts they give are worth it.

If the taste is very good, you will have to give it a thumbs up when you mention it in the future, and praise so-and-so's wedding and the wedding banquet were really well organized.

But if it doesn't taste good, you can expect to be bitten by crickets.

Yan Bugui's plan is to ask the deputy director Chen Jun to be the chef. The taste will surely be even better than today's. How proud their family will be then!

"No problem, I'll take a leave and come when the time comes!" Seeing Yan Bugui suddenly become so serious, Chen Jun thought he wanted to ask for something important, but he didn't expect him to just cook a meal.

This little thing is nothing. We can ask Sha Zhu to come and help. If we give this guy some time, he will probably be able to completely break away from the Iron Triangle.

Even if Yi Zhonghai intensified his deception, Chen Jun would not panic at all, because he had a trump card in his hand.

Once the fight breaks out, Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu will break up completely.

After discussing the matter, Yan Bugui and Chen Jun returned to the courtyard.

At this time, the people in the courtyard had already started sitting at the table to drink tea and chat. Xu Damao was already dizzy. Instead of going home to sleep, he pulled others to play cards.

The weather is nice today, and the sun is very comfortable in the afternoon.

"Oh, after having this meal today, I realized that all these years I have lived in vain."

"I'm not bragging, but the food I had at Fengze Garden couldn't compare to what I had today, and that was the same with the curly tip. It was really amazing."

"The pork elbow is really good. It smells so good that it makes me dizzy. If I could have a meal like this every now and then, I wouldn't trade it for an emperor!"

"Have you tried the candied sweet potatoes? They are even better than the candied haws sold outside."

"The meatball soup is also good. The meatballs are chewy and firm, and the soup is sour. After drinking it, my body feels warm."

"I recently heard people say that the food in the canteen of the steel mill is delicious, but I didn't expect it to be so delicious. You people who work in the steel mill are really tight-lipped. Are you afraid that we will go to the steel mill to steal food?"

"Hahaha, if you have the ability, come on. It's awesome that you can get into the factory!" Xu Damao suddenly interjected.

Nowadays, there are many people who want to make a living in a steel mill, but only a few can get in.

Do you really think the people in the security department are just there to do nothing?

Listening to the discussions in the yard, mother Wang Xia and sister Lin Yao felt very proud.

They looked so beautiful after just a meal.

But their meals are so delicious.

Liu Haizhong was lying happily in a chair basking in the sun. Second Aunt had just come back from the house. Liu Guangqi was already drunk and was sleeping soundly.

The second aunt glanced at Liu Haizhong, then at the empty bench next to Wang Xia, thought about it, and then sat down next to Wang Xia.

She wanted to chat more with Wang Xia and bring the two families closer together.

When Liu Guangqi holds a banquet in the future, he will see if he can invite Chen Jun to cook.

It is such an honor to have the deputy director of the canteen take charge of cooking. Even if Chen Jun doesn’t have time, he can send the chef from the factory.

In Second Aunt’s opinion, the cooking skills of Master Li and Master Liu who came to cook today are as good as those of He Daqing.

In fact, it was not just Second Aunt and Yan Bugui who had this idea, but other people in the yard, and even the neighbors in the next yard had this idea.

There was no way. Today's banquet was so extravagant that they were very greedy.

"Hey, Jie Cheng, come here." Yan Bugui shouted loudly on purpose to attract the attention of the people in the yard.

"Here is eight dollars and seventy-five cents, leftover from the wedding banquet. Go buy some peanuts, melon seeds, candies, and some desserts and fruits for the kids in the yard. I only ask that you spend all the money!"

After these words were spoken, the way people in the courtyard looked at Chen Jun changed.

You really don't want to keep a penny?

In fact, given the level of satisfaction with today's banquet, no one would have said anything if Chen Jun had left some money, but Chen Jun didn't take a penny.

atmosphere!
