Siheyuan: What to do if there is no system

Jing Hao said, "It's simple. No matter if Jia Dongxu or Yi Zhonghai comes to you and asks you for help, you can just say that you can't do it during this period. Just say that the chef of the restaurant has to go back to his hometown for something and now he has to work overtime. It will probably be dark when you return to the yard. Also, say that you can't take a leave at all and come back later these few days. Then they won't have anything to say."

He Yuzhu said: "Then I can't go to Jia Dongxu's house for the full moon banquet, what a pity!"

Jing Hao said impatiently: "If you are cheap, just treat it as a fart I just farted. Don't worry, with Jia Zhangshi here, the food and wine will definitely be good. Brother Damao, I will give you fifty cents later. When the time comes, you can help me give a gift to Jia Dongxu. I don't plan to come back."

Xu Damao said, "Haozi, why did you give so much money? I think a few dimes would be enough. Why did you give so much?"

Jing Hao replied, "Everyone else in the compound gave five cents. If I gave two cents, I don't know how Jia Zhang would scold me behind my back. Most importantly, Yan Fugui is definitely the one who sits at the gift table. If I give too little, I'm afraid Yan Fugui will say I'm poor. How can I accept that?"

He Yuzhu said, "I was originally planning to give one dollar, but since I'm not planning to cook for the Jia family, I'll ask Yushui to give five cents too, so she can eat for me and save me some peace."

Jing Hao said, "It's getting late. I have to go back quickly. I have a lot to do tomorrow. Let's go, my two friends."

The next day, early in the morning, Jia Dongxu went to Yi Zhonghai to discuss holding a full-month banquet for Banggeng. Yi Zhonghai was very happy. Jia Dongxu now listened to him very much and even asked for his opinion before holding a full-month banquet. Isn't this just like when the child has problems, he has to ask the father for his opinion.

Yi Zhonghai made up his mind that in addition to the gift money, he planned to give a big red envelope to Jia Dongxu alone. After all, he gave the name Banggeng himself, so what was the difference between him and his grandson?

Afterwards, the two men approached He Yuzhu, and Yi Zhonghai said to him, "Shazhu, take a leave this weekend. Your brother Dongxu is going to hold a full-month banquet and is in need of a cook. It's up to you then."

He Yuzhu didn't expect that he would come early in the morning just after he mentioned this last night. He smiled and said, "Oh, uncle, brother Dongxu, this is a happy event. But, it's really unfortunate. I guess I really can't help here. These days, a chef in our kitchen went back to his hometown, and my senior brother also went back with him, saying that he would take care of him. Now the kitchen is short of people, and I have to work overtime in the afternoon during this period, and I am not allowed to take leave. However, I will give the gift money to Yushui and let her sit at the table at your house for me."

Jia Dongxu didn't think much about it and replied directly: "This is really unfortunate, Zhuzi, it's okay, just do your thing, I'm looking for a cook."

Seeing that Sha Zhu answered without even thinking, Yi Zhonghai thought that what Sha Zhu said was true, so he asked again: "Sha Zhu, can't you take a leave to help your brother Dong Xu?"

He Yuzhu scratched his head pretending to be embarrassed and said, "Hi! Uncle, you don't know me yet. I like to be lively. I have a good relationship with Brother Dongxu. If I am free, I will definitely help."

Yi Zhonghai could only sigh and asked again: "Do you know any chefs here who can help introduce us? Then your brother Dongxu and I will have less worries."

He Yuzhu thought: Even if I have one, I dare not introduce him. What if it is really as Jinghao said, he will hate me to death.

He Yuzhu immediately shook his head and replied, "I'm not very familiar with the chefs outside. Uncle, you should ask for Brother Dongxu. I want to ask for leave to have a drink with Brother Dongxu. Really, how can this be so coincidental?"

Jia Dongxu said: "Zhu Zi, work is important. If you can come back early on the day of the work, we can have a good drink."

At this point, Yi Zhonghai also smiled and said: "Okay, listen to your brother Dongxu, work is important, we will go first."

As soon as Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu left, He Yuzhu thought that he had performed well. Fortunately, he had prepared a speech in advance, otherwise he would definitely be morally blackmailed by Yi Zhonghai. It seems that he will not be able to attend the Jia family's full moon wine party.

He Yuzhu thought about it and realized that he really couldn't come back too early during this period. Anyway, he was a bicycle owner, so he could go and talk to Gaizi these days. No, he should go and talk to Jinghao.

A few days later, Jing Hao said to Huang Chuang, "Old Huang, you should just come over recently. You didn't even bring anything. Hey, our relationship has faded!"

Huang Chuang replied: "You can't say that. I brought a person and a mouth. This is not right."

Jing Hao was holding a piece of tinfoil in his mouth, blowing smoke rings, and said, "Go to hell, brother. Let's have some dignity, brother. Let's not talk about the cigarettes. You bastard, you have been eating and drinking here for free these days. You didn't see that Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai looked at you strangely. If I let them go, you probably won't see the sun tomorrow. You are really a coward, Da Huang, please be a human being and leave a way for Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai to live."

Huang Chuang said disdainfully, "It just so happens that I haven't eaten dog meat for a long time. Master He is here too. You can cook the two beasts, one braised and one stewed. Don't blame me for being stingy. At most, I'll give you some money. We can buy three or four bottles of Maotai, and you can tell me if it tastes good or not."

Jing Hao angrily said, "Fuck you. I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as you. I really don't know how you've lived these years. You haven't been beaten to death when you go out. This is intolerable."

Huang Chuang, holding a cigarette in his mouth, squinting his eyes, sitting on a stool, and stretching his legs, said again with disdain: "Xiao Liu, this is your fault. Do you know what it means to respect the elderly and love the young? As a man among men, we must carry forward the spirit of shamelessness. If you can't learn it, give me some money and I will teach you. It will be your tuition."

Comrade Li Gai beside him was laughing. He Yuzhu heard Li Gai laughing so happily in the kitchen and quickly came out to ask, "What are you guys talking about? Why are you so happy?"

Zhang Ergou, who was standing by, replied, "We were listening to Huang Daxian talk about how shameless he is. I told you about Master He. You don't know that I, Zhang Ergou, have lived for so many years and have never seen someone as shameless as Master Huang. How should I put it? He is so shameless. His face is twice as thick as the dirt on the city wall."

Huang Chuang rolled up his sleeves and said, "Zhang Ergou, you still have the nerve to criticize me. Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? Look at your ugly face. The house is rented, and you still have the nerve to talk nonsense here. Believe it or not, I will let Xiao Liu bite you."

Zhang Ergou looked at Jing Hao and said, "Stationmaster Liu, don't say anything. Let's confront him."

Jing Hao was so angry that he laughed. This Old Huang really lived up to his surname. When he talked, he was even more reserved and reserved than himself. No wonder Old Huang's wife was so beautiful and she was a doctor. Even a dog wouldn't believe it if he told him that.

He Yuzhu came out again, knocking on the vegetable basin with his cooking spoon, and said, "The pump is on, let's cook. I made braised pork which is Gaizi's favorite. Wash your hands quickly."

Huang Chuang said to Zhang Ergou, "Ergou, I'd like to borrow the words of Stationmaster Xiao Liu. Stop licking here and go back to your doghouse. If you go back too late, be careful that the doghouse will be occupied by others."

Zhang Ergou said, "Humph, you are such a good Huang Daxian. Let's talk about this later. Comrade Xiaogai, I'm going to go back first. I'll come back to you to help me weigh the junk tomorrow when I receive it."

Comrade Li Gai had long been accustomed to this. These people were not bad people, but they were a little silly. Li Gai replied, "Brother Gou, drive slowly. Collect more junk tomorrow so you can come earlier."

After hearing what Li Gai said, Li Ergou smiled as if he was eating honey, and nodded and bowed quickly, saying, "Don't worry, I will definitely collect more junk tomorrow and come early. You should go eat quickly, I'm leaving now."
