Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Chapter 170 The delicious food in the courtyard, Jia Zhang's revenge
Yi Zhonghai did not comment on what the deaf old lady said!
To him, the deaf old lady only played the role of a military advisor, checking for omissions and giving advice!

He is responsible for providing meals for the deaf old lady, and the deaf old lady gives him advice. They are exchanging ideas of equal value!

Ever since the person behind the deaf old lady was transferred, he has not been as enthusiastic as before. To put it bluntly, he is of very little use!
If it wasn't for maintaining her character, and the deaf old lady was indeed quite capable, she might not have appeared in the backyard, right?
Therefore, the caring words of the deaf old lady were meaningless to him. It did not cause any ripples in his heart. He was extremely calm. He was no longer at the age where he could be moved!

He cares more about vested interests, everything else is just a passing cloud!

“Zhong Hai, I will pay attention to Jia Dongxu’s situation, but you still have to find a time for me to observe him closely!
Seeing is believing, otherwise I'm not sure!"

Seeing Yi Zhonghai remained silent, the deaf old lady sighed: This is how the world is. Only when both parties are valuable can the relationship be solid. It's a pity that she abused her human relationship and ended up in such a situation!
It’s no use regretting now, I can only do my best to plan for Yi Zhonghai!
Although she is not without a fallback, that is her last guarantee and she will not and cannot use it easily!

We must not let Yi Zhonghai know, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable!

She knew Yi Zhonghai's temper best. She had ways to fight back before, but now, she has become an ordinary old woman!

To put it bluntly, Yi Zhonghai can still live without her. She wants to live a comfortable life without Yi Zhonghai? Dream on!
He's Penthouse
He Yuzhu lay on the bed, carefully thinking about Jia Dongxu's changes!

Could it be that the reports he read in later life were true? When something went wrong in that place, people would slowly change or even become abnormal?
If this is the case, Jia Dongxu's risk factor is much higher!
If the guess is true, then this kind of person has no bottom line, that is, he will do anything to achieve his goals!

If you use any means to achieve your goal, the people around you will be hurt, and it may even be hard for them to defend themselves!
For example, Yi Zhonghai’s goal is to provide for his old age, but he needs to maintain his image, which is his weakness;
Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui and even Xu Fugui all have weaknesses!
But if Jia Dongxu really has a psychological problem, there will be no loopholes, that is to say, his relatives may become tools in his hands!

The most terrifying people are those who have no bottom line. They do anything to achieve their goals!
We must figure out Jia Dongxu's purpose so that we can respond calmly. Otherwise, we can only passively take the beating, which is not his style!
Although everyone has different thoughts, it does not mean that time stops!
After dawn, those who should go to work go to work, and those who should work do work, and a new day begins!

He Yuzhu sighed. No one likes to go to work, but they have to go to make a living!
Qiuyue went to the steel rolling mill and settled the house issue first!
The procedure is not complicated. The steel rolling mill will issue a certificate and a receipt, and you just need to take these things to the street office to confirm the ownership!

“Qiuyue, where did you get the money? This much money is not a small amount!”

"Auntie Wang, Brother Zhuzi gave me one million. I wanted to just rent it, but when he found out, he insisted on buying it, saying it was safer that way!"

"Well, what Zhuzi said makes sense. After all, if you rent something, it belongs to someone else. You may take it back after you get married. If you buy it, there won't be this problem!"

"Brother Zhuzi said the same thing. Aunt Wang, you go ahead and do your work. I have to go to work too!"

"Okay, tell Zhuzi that after a while, Lao Li and I will take people to Fengze Garden and ask him to cook in person. When the time comes, he must use all his skills!

There is only so much we can do. That person is also a foodie. Whether he can be recognized or not depends on his ability!"

"Auntie Wang, what happened to Brother Zhuzi?"

"Didn't he tell you?"

"Tell me what?"

"He wants to work in the steel mill. Your uncle Li and I support him. You know the future development of the steel mill. Working in the factory is a good way out!"

"He really didn't tell me, but you and Uncle Li?"

"It's okay, we are just old friends reminiscing about the past. If the pillars can't impress them, there is nothing we can do!

This guy who is about to serve as a team leader in the steel rolling mill is your Uncle Li’s fellow villager and comrade-in-arms. He loves Sichuan cuisine the most!

We went to have dinner and reminisce about the past. The key is Zhuzi's ability. We won't even tell the person who knows Zhuzi that success depends entirely on ability!"

"Okay, I know!"

"Well, get to work, there's only so much we can do!"

"Thank you, Aunt Wang, I know!"

"Well, let's go!"

Qiuyue felt relieved. She didn't want to owe too many favors to others. If this matter brought a bad influence to the two of them, she would definitely try her best to dissuade them!

Of course, she also knew that the two of them were not people without principles, so this was the best!
Director Wang looked at Qiuyue's back and nodded. She knew this girl's character. On the other hand, if it weren't for this character, they wouldn't be so close!

They will provide funding, but the relationship will not be too close. They are not partial people at all, so naturally they hate people who use connections!
Xu Fugui had already coordinated everything during the day, and the logistics department had someone specially assigned to hand over the supplies!

At night, everyone pushed wooden carts to the steel mill to pull materials!

You know what, the preparations are quite complete, with blue bricks, blue tiles, stone slabs, and cement all available!
"Clang clang clang!"

"Zhu Zi, you haven't been here for a while. Zhong Hai has gone to get materials. I guess you'll have to wait for a while!"

“Aunt, I’m here to get the ingredients. Uncle Yi promised to have dinner these few days. He will prepare the food and I will cook it!

It’s about everyone’s stomach. I’ll be back soon after get off work, so I have to prepare quickly. I don’t know how long it will take to eat!!”

"Oh, the materials are ready, I'll get them for you!"

"Got it!"

He Yuzhu didn't take the things home. He just laid out the Yi family's square table and put everything directly on the table!
It’s not that He Yuzhu is too cautious, it’s best to do things that concern everyone under everyone’s nose!
Lest anyone suspect that he was being cheap and embezzling the ingredients!
Although he looks down on these things, others don't think so. It's better to be careful!

Move out the simple stove and set it up directly in the most conspicuous position in the middle courtyard!
This is a simple stove welded with triangular irons. Just put a pot on it and wood underneath!

"Da Mao, light a fire for me!"

"Brother Zhuzi, does it count as my work if I light the fire?"

"Of course forget it!"

"That's it!"

Dinner is a big pot dish, to put it simply, it is a stew. Lard is put into the pot, and various ingredients are added one by one, and then secret seasonings are added, and the aroma begins to spread!
Many people walked out of their homes and looked from afar. Strangely enough, the simple big pot dish became extremely delicious in He Yuzhu's hands!
He Yuzhu walked to the Yi family’s kitchen and saw the steamed steamed buns were being steamed. It was done!

Outside the Siheyuan
"Hey, the cooking still has to be done by the pillars. Lao Yi, what ingredients have you prepared? Is it meat? Otherwise, why would it smell so good!"

"Old Yan, you really dare to think that. There is no meat in ordinary dishes. I am willing but powerless!"

“Hehe, you do have the strength, but I’m afraid you can’t bear to give it up!

That's strange, can Zhuzi really make flowers out of ordinary vegetables?"

"Haha, everyone, work harder to unload the truck, and you'll know once you get in!"

Yi Zhonghai ignored Yan Bugui’s stubbornness. It was good enough to have something to eat. How could you, Yan Laosty, say that he wanted to eat meat? Ugh!

"Okay, let's get to work. After unloading the truck, we'll go back and eat. This is the first time we've eaten Zhuzi's cooking, so we have to try it carefully!"

"Uncle, you haven't even had lunch yet, so you're just waiting for this meal, right?

It seems like everyone could have eaten it, but unfortunately you messed it up in the end!"

"Of course not, Uncle Third has finally had a meal, and he needs to clean his stomach at noon!
I didn’t get to eat it last time, so I must come back this time, or I won’t be able to spend that little money!”

"Haha, some people say that when the Third Uncle sees a manure cart passing by, he always tastes the saltiness. We all remember what happened last year, how could the Third Uncle forget?
What's more, since Chef He cooked the meal himself, it's normal for him to eat it all at once. Otherwise, how could he be the third uncle? "Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw Sun Kui and Zhang Chao teasing Yan Bugui one by one!
"Xiao Sun, Xiao Zhang, please don't laugh at me. I'm just waiting for Zhuzi's meal. What's wrong? It's not embarrassing, right?"

"Haha, it's really not shameful!"

Sun Kui and Zhang Chao looked at each other. Zhang Chao winked at Sun Kui, and Sun Kui shook his head, indicating that he was speechless!
After unloading the trucks, everyone couldn't wait to gather in the central courtyard with their big bowls. It smelled quite delicious and they all wanted to know how it tasted!
Unfortunately, when they were getting their meal, a magical scene occurred. Not only did Jia Zhang’s super-large “bowl” come out, but also the Yan family’s!
"We made it very clear during the meeting that only those who work can eat. Isn't this inappropriate for you to do this?"

"What's inappropriate? The dishes were prepared by Yi Zhonghai. You're just a cook. You're really meddling in other people's affairs!"

"Ms. Jia Zhang, that's not what I meant. Since I'm in charge of cooking, I must make sure the people working are well fed, otherwise it would be my dereliction of duty!

I'm sorry, those who are not working can't eat until those who are working have finished eating, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

He Yuzhu didn't want to be a bad guy, but these people were too shameless. What they had in their hands was not a bowl? It would be most appropriate to call it a basin, right?

"Zhu Zi is right. Those who don't work should go home and eat. Everyone should be more self-disciplined!"

"Which bastard is yelling and screaming? What if I ate your food?"

"Jia Zhang, I'll give you a chance to reorganize your words!"

Xu Fugui looked at Jia Zhang with sinister eyes. The Xu family was the "number one family" in the courtyard house. Not only did the couple receive wages, they also had a close relationship with Lou Zhenhua's family!

Xu Fugui's wife works as a servant in the Lou family. As the saying goes, being a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister is no joke!

Not to mention that Xu Fugui is very good at networking and has good relationships with many people in the factory. At least no one in the compound who works in the factory wants to mess with Xu Fugui!
Since ancient times, wealthy people have had a certain say in the family or in a small circle, not to mention that the Xu family is rich and has power!
"Xu Damao is eating too? Uncle, you won't abuse your power for personal gain, will you?"

"Humph, I couldn't handle it by myself just now, and you were all busy watching the fun. Who took the initiative to help? Xu Damao was keeping the fire going the whole time, and everyone was watching!
I tell everyone, if you want to eat, start working tomorrow night. As long as there is someone working, there will be food to eat. You get what you sow!
Want to eat without working? Dream on, next one! "

Yan Bugui's son was much smarter. He would slip away if He Yuzhu didn't give him food, unlike Jia Zhang who stood in front of him as if she wouldn't let him get any food!

"Get out of the way, we are still waiting to eat!"

Although Zhang Chao is small, it cannot be said that he is weak. He is called short and capable!

He pushed Jia Zhang aside and stretched his bowl in front of He Yuzhu, making faces and grimacing. It was so funny!

He Yuzhu burst out laughing. This is because Jia Zhang's 'weight loss' was successful. Otherwise, you might not be able to move with your small body!
"Brother Zhang, hold it steady!"

The amount of food is controlled by the chef. He Yuzhu gave him a big spoonful, which was so filling that it was enough to fill him up!
Jia Zhang was so angry that she was about to jump over the wall or ascend to heaven, but she didn't dare to curse!

Just because Zhang Chao was the only factory doctor in the steel rolling mill, and was hired by Lou Zhenhua at a huge price, and was responsible for treating external injuries in the factory!

A factory like a steel rolling mill is bound to have bumps and bruises, so Zhang Chao is someone that many people in the compound dare not provoke!
Doctors kill people without using a knife. This is not said in vain. He may not dare to harm your life, but he can certainly make you suffer a little more pain!
Her son works in a factory, so if Zhang Chao does something bad, there’s really nothing she can do!

Although she is fierce and difficult to deal with, she also depends on who the other party thinks about her. She will stay away from those who she can't afford to offend!
To put it bluntly, it is called looking at the person's situation, to put it nicely, it is called knowing how to adapt to the times. After going through the "experiences", Jia Zhang is much more aware of how to adapt to the times!

Jia Zhang watched as the food in the big pot was reduced at a speed visible to the naked eye. In a short while, He Yuzhu had finished all the food in the big pot!

Jia Zhang immediately glared at He Yuzhu. This silly Zhu was determined not to let her have it. She snorted coldly and turned away!
He Yuzhu looked at Jia Zhang's back and smiled slightly. He had two goals tonight!
First, mobilize all the staff in the hospital to build toilets, which will speed up the process and save trouble;
Second, isn't Yi Zhonghai responsible for dinner? You don't feel any pressure with 20 people, but what about everyone else in the compound?
"Uncle Yi, we will be out of lard tomorrow night, how about buying some cockscomb oil?
By then, we can let everyone eat better. We can’t afford meat, but a plate of cockscomb oil will not be a big problem for you, Uncle Yi!"

A thousand horses were galloping through Yi Zhonghai's mind. Can you please speak a little more quietly when you come to me?

How could he refuse when it was so loud?

"Zhu Zi, it's not that I disagree, but cockscomb oil is hard to buy!"

"Uncle Yi, if you trust me, give me 20,000 yuan, and I will give you a whole set of cockscomb oil tomorrow!"

"Haha, that's a good feeling!"

"Okay, I knew Uncle Yi was a good man. He would definitely not refuse such a small request!"

"Zhu Zi, do you have anything else to do?"

Seeing that He Yuzhu had no intention of leaving, Yi Zhonghai frowned immediately. Could he have any other requests?

"Um, Uncle Yi, you haven't paid yet!"

"How can I miss you?"

"The main reason is that I am short of money and can't afford it!

Look, in order to renovate the house, all the rainwater was dumped into the master's house, because there was no money left!"

"Hey, why renovate the house if you don't have money? Every elder can't help you!"

"I don't want to either, but it leaks in the summer and it leaks in the winter, so there's nothing I can do, right?
Master Kuai wanted to do it right the first time, so I agreed! "

Damn it, you old guy who pretends to be cool and gets struck by lightning, just wait and see, these few days will be too difficult and then you will know how powerful Master Zhu is!
"Okay, here you go!"

"Got it!"

It is true that a bottle of cockscomb oil costs 20,000 yuan, everyone knows that, but there is no demand for it!

Want to get cockscomb oil without any connections? You are dreaming!

Many people may not understand, pork costs only 7,000 yuan per pound, but a pack of cockscomb oil costs 20,000 yuan?
This era is not like the future. People in later times might not even look at cockscomb oil, but in this era, cockscomb oil is more attractive than fat!

Yi Zhonghai still doesn't know the power of He Yuzhu's cooking skills. Others can't bring themselves to do that, but not everyone is as shameless as Jia Zhang!
But everyone smelled the big pot of food and their mouths were watering at the thought of eating it. They thought these days would be painful, but unexpectedly there would be a sudden turn of events!

They all heard what He Yuzhu said, and they were all ready to go out and work as a family tomorrow night!

The conclusion of the discussion was that everyone should go just for this meal, it’s a good deal, a great deal!

If Yi Zhonghai knew about this situation, he would probably want to cry!

Twenty people could reluctantly agree for the sake of character setting, but it wouldn’t be that easy with almost a hundred people!

Men, women, young and old from all over the hospital joined in the action. It didn’t matter whether so many people were needed or not. As long as people were there, they had to eat!
Even lifting a brick is considered work, so can you still refuse someone a meal?

He Yuzhu did not consider the situation that Yi Zhonghai might encounter. What he was considering was that with the assistance of Jia Zhang, the number of people working tomorrow would definitely double. What would he do if there were not enough stoves?
As for the cockscomb oil, just tell Brother Feng tomorrow morning. He will chop the oil residue into pieces and mix it into the steamed corn bread. This way the steamed corn bread will taste different and the demand will definitely be greater. I guess everyone will have to pray to work a few more days!

It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Yi Zhonghai wants to win people's hearts, so how can he not lend a helping hand?

If Yi Zhonghai had not been sent to labor camp, he might have needed to be cautious in winning over people's hearts, but now he doesn't have to care at all!
Especially with the help of Jia Zhang, he mentioned re-education through labor or reform through labor from time to time, trying to blur the two concepts. No matter how hard Yi Zhonghai tried, he couldn't clear himself!
Isn't it good to live a peaceful life? Must he struggle? Is it so difficult to face reality? Isn't it that a smart man like Yi Zhonghai doesn't know that he has completely lost the capital to struggle!
Thinking of this, He Yuzhu almost couldn't help laughing out loud, it was so refreshing!

Jia Zhang thought back to everything He Yuzhu had done and became furious. "Silly Zhu, silly Zhu, since you are deliberately going against me, I won't be polite!"
She had inquired during the day and found out that Sha Zhu spent 2.7 million to renovate the house. How could a young boy come up with so much money?

She was sure that Sha Zhu had done something bad, otherwise Qian Lao Lu couldn't explain it!
Such a large amount of money is an astronomical figure for most families!
Her family could afford it before, but now they don’t even have one million. This is the current situation!
She has already thought of a way to take revenge on Sha Zhu, and that is to report him!
No one can tell about the report, not even my son!

She always remembered what her elder sister said: A secret is only a secret if it is known by one person!
The monthly tickets have been doubled, brothers, if you have monthly tickets, don’t hide them, vote quickly, thank you all!
