The Fiery Era of Siheyuan

Chapter 12, dinner

At twelve o'clock at noon, Shazhu's meal was already ready.

Big bone stewed soup, braised pork ribs, steamed pork ribs, sour cabbage, stir-fried lettuce, stir-fried pork, dry-stir-fried beans, a total of six dishes and one soup, which is the standard for New Years and holidays.

The dishes were placed on the table, ready to let the rain call people.

First of all, we have to call the deaf old lady. The old lady took good care of Li Weiguo, and she also contributed to Li Tieniu's funeral, so it doesn't matter if she shows some filial piety.

It's not appropriate to call the third master, but it's not appropriate to call the first and second masters.

Although Li Weiguo didn't like the second uncle Liu Haizhong, he would rather offend a gentleman than a villain, not to mention that he helped make a fortune.

He asked Yuyu to call the second uncle and the deaf old lady together, and he went to call the first uncle himself, and they gathered together at a table to celebrate their integration into this era.

In the middle courtyard, in the east wing, a man and a woman live here.

Li Weiguo knocked on the door and shouted inside: "Master, are you at home?"

"Here you are, the door is unlocked, come in." A man's voice came from inside the room.

Pushing open the door and entering, the uncle is sitting there drinking tea.

"It's Weiguo, why are you here when you're free?" the old man asked with a smile.

Li Weiguo smiled and said: "Master, haven't I joined the steel rolling mill? I made an appointment with Shazhu a few days ago. I will cook and he will cook, and we will celebrate together. No, there is no elder at the table, so big A table of dishes doesn't taste good, so I'll ask you to come with Big Mom."

"Okay, since you've come to call, I'll eat you up, hahaha." Being respected and filial by the younger generation makes the uncle very happy.

The east wing room in the backyard, the second uncle's house.

Liu Haizhong's family was sitting at the dining table and was about to eat when Yushui knocked on the door and shouted, "Second uncle, brother Wei Guo asked you three uncles to come over for dinner. There is wine and meat, and we will wait for you."

"What day is it today? How come Weiguo invites guests to dinner?" the second uncle asked in confusion.

"Brother Wei Guo was assigned to the steel rolling mill by the street a few days ago. He just made a table and it was lively. Come on, I'll call the old lady." With that, Yuyu turned around and walked into the old lady's house.

A few days ago, Li Weiguo joined the security department and the whole hospital knew about it, but he was a little puzzled. This Li Weiguo sold his job in the rolling mill, and then assigned him back. What's the situation?

After the rain went away, the second uncle was puzzled, but he didn't take it to heart. How could the sub-district office's allocation of work be accurate?

Pointing to the door, he said happily: "See, we are the second uncle in the courtyard, the sixth-level blacksmith in the factory. He Li Weiguo has joined the job, and he will have to rely on us in the future. No, please come for dinner."

"Well, if you want to put it another way, if you are a leader, the people below you have to fawn over." The second aunt agreed with a smile.

Hearing the words of the second uncle and his wife, the three brothers Liu Guangqi, Guangtian, and Guangfu couldn't help curling their lips secretly: I invite you to have a meal, you play so much, those who don't know think you are the leader of the factory.

A house with a back cover in the backyard, a house for a deaf old lady.

The old lady usually hangs out shoe soles and sews clothes in the house, but she is busy now.

Yushui entered the door and said to the old lady: "Old lady, brother Weiguo invites you to dinner today, let me come over and invite you to come over."

"Are you going to eat? Is there any meat?" The old lady stopped her work and asked with a smile.

Yu Yu was angry and funny, and said: "Yes! There is meat and big bone soup, just wait until the ancestors come over and use the chopsticks."

"Okay. Let's walk then." After that, he put down the needle and thread in his hand, got up and followed the rain.

At Shazhu's house, the dishes are already set on the table, six dishes and one soup, a large bowl of steamed buns with white noodles, and two bottles of Red Star Erguotou.

After a while, the first uncle, his wife, the second uncle, the third uncle, and the deaf old lady all arrived.

Li Weiguo helped the old lady to the main seat, and the others took their seats.

"Okay, in the blink of an eye Weiguo has grown up and established a family, hahaha." The old lady patted the back of Li Weiguo's hand and said.

"Hey, it's all the elders who are helping me." Li Weiguo said modestly.

Picking up a bottle of Red Star Erguotou, he poured a glass of wine for everyone present one by one according to their seniority.

After pouring for a long time, he picked up his wine glass and said: "Some time ago, my father passed away, and I was not at home. Thanks to the help of the elders and neighbors, the funeral can be done well. Today, I would like to respect all the elders and neighbors. , Gratitude is in the wine." After that, he raised his glass and drank it down.

The old man shook his head: "We are all neighbors, and we should help each other. There is no need to express gratitude. Just have this intention and come have a drink." As he said this, he invited everyone to raise their glasses.

The second uncle, the third uncle, Sha Zhu and others also toasted and echoed: "The first uncle is right, neighbors should help each other, come to drink."

Everyone raised their glasses together, and the old lady also took a sip, smiling as she watched the others drink.

After drinking the first cup, the old lady took the lead to move the chopsticks, and everyone also picked up the dishes by themselves.

Fat and thin, spicy and delicious fried pork, salty, crispy, fragrant but not greasy braised pork ribs;

Soft and sweet, white and big steamed buns with white noodles, and rich and delicious big bone soup, the old lady and a few uncles present were full of oil, calling them prodigals.

Can you not lose your fortune? The materials for this table of lunch alone cost about ten yuan.

One meal was almost half of his salary. Only Li Weiguo would dare to do it. No other family in the courtyard would be willing to live up to this standard even during the Chinese New Year.

After eating for almost two hours, the old lady, Da Ma and He Yushui left after eating.

It was mainly Li Weiguo, Sha Zhu and a few uncles who were drinking and spanking. The four of them had two catties of wine, and they would be half drunk before leaving.

After lunch, Li Weiguo strolled slowly towards Shichahai. Nanluogu Lane is very close to Shichahai. He wanted to see if he could collect some fish and shrimp here, so as to enrich the biological species in the secret place.

Although fish, shrimps and crabs are not popular, it is still good to raise some to improve your diet.

It took about ten minutes by car to reach Shichahai and Houhai. After getting off the bus, we walked there.

There are many old men fishing in Houhai every day, and the third uncle often goes here to fish to support his family.

Finding a place where no one was around, Li Weiguo squatted down by the lake, and his thoughts stretched ten meters to sweep under the water.

There are relatively few fish within ten meters of the lake, and most of them swim in the center of the lake.

I took some corn kernels from the space and sprinkled them into the lake. After a while, the small fish and shrimps in the lake gathered here.

When the mind sweeps away, there are probably dozens of fish of various colors, including carp, grass carp, catfish, silver carp, and crucian carp. There are also some small shrimps, small crabs, loaches, and eels at the bottom of the lake, which are quite rich in species.

Li Weiguo's mind was moved, and all the fish, shrimps and crabs swept by his mind were sent to the space fish pond.

As soon as the fish and shrimp fall into the fish pond in the space, they instantly add a lot of vitality to the space.

I didn't care about the fish pond anymore, and sprinkled a lot of steamed bread crumbs into the lake, and continued to make nests to lure fish.

Soon, another wave of fish and shrimp gathered by the lake, this time the fish were bigger.

There are five or six three-finger-wide grass carp, herring, and bighead carp, and the rest are a dozen slightly smaller miscellaneous fish.

No matter how big or small, all the brains were collected into the fish ponds in the secret realm. At the same time, some aquatic plants were collected from the bottom and edge of the lake and planted in the fish ponds.

After collecting two batches of fish and shrimp, Li Weiguo didn't get too greedy, got up and left, and walked leisurely along the lake.

Walking slowly from Houhai to Qianhai, there are many old men and children sitting on the lakeside fishing, each with a boom and a bucket, and more or less something is gained.

Feeling the beautiful scenery around, I have to sigh that Shichahai is a good place.

It not only has beautiful scenery, but also has many classic hutongs and courtyards, such as the Big and Little Jinsi Hutongs in the Jinsitao area, the North and South Guanfang Hutong and the Ya'er Hutong on the northern edge of Houhai, as well as Baimi Xiejie and Yandai Xiejie.

Looking at the classic courtyard buildings around him, Li Weiguo felt itchy. In the future, building a house with a single courtyard here was just a small goal. A courtyard with two entrances and three entrances was more expensive, and it might not be possible to buy it if you have money.

If it weren't for the house sale now, he would have wanted to buy thirty or fifty houses here.

There is no point in being greedy. If you want to buy a large number of courtyard houses, you will have to wait until the state returns the private properties.

In order to realize his wish to buy a luxury house in the imperial capital as soon as possible, Li Weiguo decided to go to the ghost market at night to see if he could try to make some money by selling some food.

　A friend once commented that the courtyards are all beasts, there is no good person, and they are not worthy of the protagonist.Here, Sweet Potato makes a statement that he will not lick anyone for no reason in the future, and of course he will not turn himself into a lone ranger and fight against the whole world.As long as he is a person, he must have selfishness. After all, the one who loves the most is always himself. We don’t want to be a moral bitch, so we don’t ask others to be moral saints. Everyone is an ordinary person with various defects. Novel, just watch and play It's fine, don't be too serious.In addition, this book is chronological, and the courtyard in the studio is too hostile, and I can’t stand it after reading too much, and we don’t know how to write it. If there are readers who like the courtyard that is overwhelmed, you can change it. Try other sites.
