King of Industry

To be honest, the pickled fish dish made by Zhao Guoyang is not perfect. After all, the meat quality of silver carp is still a bit older than black fish.

However, in the early 1990s, when Sichuan cuisine was not popular all over the country, this dish appeared to be quite standard.

Bai Rou picked up the fish fillet that Zhao Guoyang gave her, and took a sip. Suddenly, a strong spicy smell choked her entire head from her nasal cavity.

Just when she was so hot that she was about to cry, a unique fragrance slowly evaporated from her tongue coating, slowly covering up the previous spicy taste.

This feeling is like taking a sip of iced sour plum soup in summer, it starts to feel cold, and then feels very comfortable.

Just when Bai Rou closed her eyes and savored this delicacy, Zhao Xiaojing, who was sitting on the other side, yelled out hotly: Ah, it's so spicy, so spicy!

As for Zhao Xiaoyong, because he ate too fast, he felt a little hot when he ate it, but he didn't feel anything afterwards.

This guy didn't believe in evil, and quickly picked up a second piece, put it in his mouth and ate it.

This taste is really delicious! At this time, Zhao Xiaojing has gradually felt the deliciousness of this dish from the spicy, and clapped her hands repeatedly.

Putting down the chopsticks, Bai Rou turned to look at Zhao Guoyang and said, Guoyang, what's the name of this dish, it's really delicious!

Well, it's called pickled cabbage fish, and it's a type of Sichuan cuisine.

Zhao Guoyang pointed to the pot and said, Generally speaking, black fish is used as the raw material for pickled fish. Today there is only silver carp. You can eat it later...

The New Year's Eve dinner ended when Zhao Xiaojing and Zhao Xiaoyong competed for fish soup.

Today's New Year's Eve dinner, what left the deepest impression on everyone is this pickled fish.

Not only the fish and sauerkraut were eaten up, but in the end, there was not even a little soup left, and they were all used to make rice.

After dinner, the young people naturally gathered together to chat and watch TV.

The old couple Zhao Jingzhong and He Huifen were leisurely rolling out noodles and kneading dumplings, preparing to cook glutinous rice balls and eat them while watching the Spring Festival Gala.

Bai Rou originally wanted to help, but was rejected by the old couple in unison.

After sitting for a while, seeing that the time was almost up, Zhao Guoyang wanted to say goodbye to his parents and prepare to send Bai Rou back.

Just as he was about to speak, a series of barks from Xiao Hei suddenly sounded in the yard outside.

Hey, who will come for the New Year's Eve? He Huifen, who was rubbing the balls, raised her eyebrows.

I'll go out and have a look! On the other side, Zhao Jingzhong snorted and put down the work of making noodles.

Zhao Guoyang didn't care about this, he was cheerfully telling Bai Rou about some customs of the Xiahe area in Jiangnan Province during the Chinese New Year.

Not long after Zhao Jingzhong went out, there were a few quiet arguments outside the house.

Elder sister, second child, third child, two younger siblings, this year's New Year's Eve, can't we talk about it on another day? Must it be today? The one who spoke was naturally Zhao Jingzhong.

Brother, this matter can't be delayed. The longer it is delayed, the more difficult it will be. It just so happens that our family is here today, so let's solve it so that we won't bother you later in the year. said a smooth voice.

That's right, brother. It's been almost three years since our parents passed away. It's time for us to sit down and talk about the distribution of their old house. It can't just fall into your hands alone. ?” said another gruff voice.

Third brother, what are you talking about? Is our eldest brother that kind of person! Another female voice who was quite familiar reprimanded him.

Okay, okay, Jingzhong, we're all here, let us go in and sit down. Things, we still need to talk about things. You can take the house by yourself, but you have to give it to the two brothers Divide into 20%, right?

Hearing the voice of the right and left, Zhao Guoyang immediately realized, isn't this the aunt who introduced him yesterday?

Maybe because he didn't want to make the incident known to the neighbors, although Zhao Jingzhong was uncomfortable, he still let a group of relatives into the house.

Looking at the crowd who filed in, Zhao Guoyang couldn't help showing a cold look on his face. He was really ashamed to be with these relatives.

When grandparents were alive before, several people pushed back and forth to support the elderly. They always pushed back if they could, and gave up if they could. They were not happy to contribute money, let alone contribute.

Now that grandparents have passed away, a few people have the nerve to start thinking about the ancestral house.

After Zhao Guoyang's grandparents passed away, they left an old house in the urban area of ​​Jianghai County. Although it is a one-story house, it has an area of ​​two hundred and sixty-seventy square meters, with several rooms inside and out.

Although the house is not worth much these days, it still costs three or four hundred yuan per square meter. With such a large area, it can be calculated as 60,000 to 70,000 yuan.

Zhao Guoyang, the two cheap uncles and aunts, had been trying to sell the house for a penny.

But before the old man passed away, he made a will. The boss of the Zhao family, that is, Zhao Guoyang's father, took 70% of the house, and the remaining 30% was divided between the two brothers and the daughter.

One of the reasons for this distribution is that Zhao Jingzhong is filial and has taken care of the two of them for many years without any complaints.

Another one, the three brothers of the Zhao family, gave birth to two sons in Zhao Jingzhong's family. Zhao Guoyang is also the eldest son and grandson of the Zhao family, which naturally has additional attribute bonuses in the eyes of the older generation.

Because the old man made the will in front of the whole family before he left. Therefore, the two brothers of the Zhao family did not dare to say anything about the result of the distribution.

The only thing the two of them hoped for was to sell the house as soon as possible so that they could take away their share of the money. Similarly, the eldest aunt Zhao Guoyang also had this idea.

After several relatives entered the house, He Huifen told Zhao Xiaojing and Zhao Xiaoyong to go back to the room.

Originally, she wanted Zhao Guoyang and Bai Rou to leave first, but seeing her son shaking his head at her, she swallowed the words that came to her mouth.

Ah, Guoyang, this girl, we meet again! Seeing Zhao Guoyang and Bai Rou, the aunt suddenly became a little timid, with an unnatural smile on her face.

Obviously, Bai Rou's extraordinary shot yesterday left a deep impression on her.

Zhao Guoyang's two uncles and aunts didn't know what to do, so they immediately asked the aunt suspiciously about the situation.

Although seeing these unlucky relatives was not happy, but the elders are elders after all, Zhao Guoyang still greeted them.

Called the second uncle by Zhao Guoyang, he has a smooth temper. He patted Zhao Guoyang on the shoulder with a smile and said, Guoyang, it's not bad. In a blink of an eye, you've grown into a young man. I heard that you entered the technical department of Hongda Machinery Factory. , This is amazing, the future is boundless!

Zhao Guoyang smiled indifferently and did not answer.

After a few opening remarks, it was Zhao Guoyang's third uncle who finally opened the conversation.

Brother, sister-in-law. We are here today for no other purpose than to get back what should belong to us!

Yes, my parents did make a will. Most of the old house was left to my eldest brother, but we brothers also have a share, right? You can't keep giving it to us, can you?

After hearing this, He Huifen frowned: Third brother, this house is a whole, how can I give it to you? Is it torn down to give you and the second child a room, or what?

Big brothers and sisters, that's not what they said.

The aunt said with a smile on her face, Of course this house cannot be split, but it can be sold. After the sale, according to my mother's last wish before she died, 70% of the loyalty will be paid. The three of us 10% per person. The three of us didn’t want to take too much.”

I won't sell the house, so you should give up on it! Although Zhao Jingzhong is honest, he is very principled.

Brother, are you a little unreasonable? It's true that you occupy the majority of the house, but how to deal with it should be discussed with everyone, right? How can you decide the result of the disposal by yourself? Zhao Guoyang said The third uncle said with some displeasure.

Yes, brother. You don't live in this house anyway, it's too wasteful to leave it empty. Why don't you sell it to improve your life.

The three children in your family are under a lot of pressure in life. We all know this. After selling the house, you get a sum of money, which is enough to raise Xiaojing and Xiaoyong in your family.

Second brother, I don't need you to worry about the upbringing of our children. If you want me to sell the house, just two words - no way! Zhao Jingzhong replied very simply, without sloppy at all.

Jingzhong, what you said is not right, it seems like our siblings are coming to seek your property. The aunt said a little annoyed.

The woman from the second family also chimed in and said, Yes, big brother. Whether or not the house will be sold is up to everyone to vote on it. You can't make the decision alone.

That's right! Otherwise, big brother, you can take a sum of money and compensate the three of us, so that we have nothing to do with whether your house is sold or not. Another younger sibling of Zhao Jingzhong said.

Compensation? We don't have the money to compensate you! Guoyang has just started working, and he will be looking for a wife in a few years. Xiaojing and Xiaoyong are still in school. What do you think I will compensate you! He Huifen said As he spoke, his eyes turned red.

Seeing this, Bai Rou next to her quickly walked to her side and whispered comfort.

The situation was almost understood, and Zhao Guoyang, who had been silent all this time, had some ideas in his mind.

He coughed and said, Auntie, two uncles and aunts. We already know the reason for your visit. Indeed, what you said is also reasonable. If my father doesn't sell the house, I should compensate you.

After hearing this, the elders of Zhao Guoyang all smiled happily.

Hey, let's just say that intellectuals understand the truth.

That's right! Guoyang was right when he said that. It doesn't matter whether the house is sold or not. As long as your family gives the compensation to the three of us, everything will be easy to talk about! Uncle San nodded cheerfully.

Zhao Guoyang nodded, and then said something.
