The Fiery Era of Siheyuan

Chapter 177, finalized

Seeing that Li Weiguo simply played with the bloodstone and didn't take it seriously, Hong An was a little anxious.

Although he has good decoration skills and a good income, the family has spent a lot of money to provide work for his two sons in the past two years. Now the family really has no savings and cannot give other decent gifts, otherwise he would not be 500 Yuan's blackmail was overwhelming.

"Section Chief Li, look at this."

Hong An hesitated to speak, knowing that others might not be interested in what he brought out, so he gritted his teeth, took out five big black ten from his pocket, and pushed them in front of Li Weiguo.

Seeing that he had misunderstood, Li Weiguo quickly waved his hand and explained: "Master Hong, don't get me wrong. I don't mean to be disdainful. The things are good things, but I can't ask for your things in vain if the matter is not confirmed."

Then, Li Weiguo thought for a moment, and said: "Well, let me find someone to check for you first, and find out what the origin of Cai Chunzhi's family is. If she is really not clean, as you said, then We can do whatever we want, you can see it, right?"

In the end, this matter is not a big deal, and it is within Li Weiguo's ability. Since it is not too troublesome to ask for it, it is irrelevant to help.

If, as Hong An said, Cai Chunzhi and her two older brothers were not clean, then killing a few of them would also give the guards under him a chance to make meritorious deeds, so why not do it.

"Hey, I'm sorry to trouble you, Chief Li."

Hong An and his son were instantly overjoyed, there was finally some hope of a solution to this matter.

After the matter was settled, Hong An and his son finally let go of their worries, and even drank with much enthusiasm.

It took more than two hours for Li Weiguo to return home from Hong An's house.

Before leaving, Hong An also forced the small box containing the chicken blood stone and five big black tens to Li Weiguo, euphemistically saying that the soldiers and horses should go ahead before the food and grass are used. This is the activity funds.

Li Weiguo saw that he couldn't resist him, so he had no choice but to accept it. If he didn't accept it, Hong An and his son would not be able to feel at ease.

When I left Hong An's house and returned to the courtyard, it was already almost nine o'clock in the evening.

Walking into the courtyard, Li Weiguo didn't go home in a hurry, but went straight to the middle courtyard, wanting to find Sha Zhu.

Today I made an agreement with Zhao Guobing to bring the cook and ingredients to help over the weekend. I have to say hello to Shazhu first, otherwise if Shazhu has something to do and can't go, it will be a bad deal.

Crossing the hallway and looking towards the main room in the middle courtyard, the lights are on at Shazhu's house in the middle courtyard, and he happens to be at home.

Li Weiguo didn't knock on the door, walked over and pushed the door open.

Silly Zhu was eating dinner by herself in the room, and the rain was not there, so she probably rested in her own room after eating.

Silly Zhu had just come back from get off work. He heard the sound of the door, turned around and saw Li Weiguo, and immediately asked Li Weiguo to come over and sit down.

"Wei Guo is back. Have you eaten? Let's get ready together?"

"Eat, eat, you don't need to say hello, just eat by yourself."

Li Weiguo waved his hand, letting him do whatever he wanted, and he went straight to the dining table and sat down.

Just as I was about to talk to Sha Zhu about something serious, I looked down at Sha Zhu's food, and couldn't help saying in surprise: "Brother Zhu, you work overtime at night to make a small stove, why do you only eat this?"

It turned out that the lunch box in front of Silly Zhu only contained two sorghum flour pancakes and some potatoes and cabbage. Not to mention meaty, there was not even a drop of oil, and it was no different from the big pot rice in the factory at noon.

Hearing Li Weiguo's question, Shazhu looked bitter and waved his hand: "Forget it, you don't know what the food situation in our factory is like now. Let alone the big pot of rice, I can't even leave anything behind when I make a small stove at night.

Although it's good to make a small stove, but you don't know how clean those leaders eat, good guy, they don't need to wash the dishes after eating.

You said, in this situation, what leftovers can I have left? What I eat now is still the leftovers from the big pot meal at noon, alas. Unfortunately, I have not brought back any leftovers since I worked overtime. "

As he said this, Shazhu became more and more frustrated, as if he had lost dozens of dollars.

When Li Weiguo heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, Shazhu is used to the good life, so where is he now? There will be a year or two of hard life in the future, some of which he has endured.

Li Weiguo shook his head and comforted: "Okay, Brother Zhu, the environment is like this, there is nothing to complain about. In any case, you cooks have no worries about food and drink. You can save a lot of rations every month, like other families." It’s a lot, but it’s just a small ration every month, and it’s hard to even have enough food and clothing, so there’s nothing to complain about.”

When Sha Zhu heard this, it was the same reason, and he immediately felt a lot more balanced.

"By the way, Brother Zhu, are you free on the weekend?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Silly Zhu raised his head and asked.

Li Weiguo explained: "Isn't this because Zhao Guobing is getting married this weekend? I haven't found the chef in charge of the wedding banquet yet, so I asked if you are free."

"Yes, this is too much, you can leave it to me at ease, and I promise to help him make it beautiful."

When it came to holding a wedding banquet, Shazhu got excited and immediately expressed his opinion with a pat on the chest.

Affected by the general environment this year, not only the food in the factory has become worse, but there are also a lot fewer people looking for him to cook weddings and weddings outside.

It's not that people don't want to invite him, but that supplies are scarce, and many people can't afford the banquet.

Some newlyweds just get married with a marriage certificate, give out two wedding candies and it's over, even saving the wedding banquet.

The funeral is even simpler, you don't even need to give out sugar, just notify your relatives and friends, and then send the person to the crematorium and call it a day.

No, even cooks like them who rely on extra money to subsidize their families have no choice but to rely on the dispensable benefits in the unit to make ends meet.

Now I heard Li Weiguo said that there is a banquet, how can there be no time, he is also short of money and extra money.

The person in charge of the table can even eat and take away, and when the work is over, people have to pack a red envelope of three to five yuan. People with good craftsmanship will help introduce business in the future. What a great thing, Shazhu does not hesitate .

Seeing that Sha Zhu was so active, Li Weiguo made a final decision immediately: "Okay, then it's settled, you go with me early on the weekend morning, do you think you can find some helpers from the back kitchen of a cafeteria to help you?"

Sha Zhu waved his hand: "No, I'll go to the back kitchen and order two people later, it's a trivial matter. By the way, Zhao Guobing plans to set up a few tables. Is there a menu?"

When Si Zhu mentioned this problem, Li Weiguo patted his head. He didn't expect this problem at the time and forgot to ask.

However, Zhao Guobing didn't have this menu. He had been looking for ingredients everywhere before today and was not sure where the ingredients came from.

So Li Weiguo thought about it for a while and said: "There are six tables in total, and there is no menu. You can make a menu for each table with 12 people, and make it richer. Zhao Guobing and I will make it according to your list when the time comes." Ingredients."

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll write it for you right now."

With that said, Silly Zhu stood up and went to find paper and pen. He did not doubt Li Weiguo's ability to get ingredients, so he thought about it for a moment, conceived the menu, and then wrote ten words on the paper with a "swish". Here is the name of the dish, followed by the total number of ingredients and seasonings needed, and the last handful is handed to Li Weiguo.

Li Weiguo took the menu, briefly glanced at Shazhu's dog-like words, curled his lips, and held back his complaints.

Although the wording is ugly, the menu is okay. There are eight hot dishes and five cold dishes. There are meat and vegetables, and it is not too ostentatious. It is based on the number of 12 people at a table. Can't fault it too much.

"Okay, I will prepare the ingredients according to this list. I will go to work tomorrow. Remember to find a helper in the back kitchen in advance."

"No problem, don't worry, we will definitely find all the people for you." Silly Zhu promised, patting his chest.

After finalizing the matter, Li Weiguo didn't stay any longer, and went back to his room directly after saying hello.
