Siheyuan: Superintendent at the beginning, wife Reba!

Being squeezed by her own grandson, Grandma Zhang gave him the bag without saying a word.

There is never a time when an old lady educates her children! !

"I'm going to hit you with a crooked head! Don't talk nonsense. After dinner, go to bed immediately. Tomorrow, I'll go to the vegetable market and department store to buy things for the New Year."

----Ever since Zhang Chengfei joined the army and her old son died in 62, she spent the Chinese New Year with her boss outside the customs.

But this year is different. Zhang Chengfei is back, and she wants to stay and celebrate the New Year with her eldest grandson.

Zhang Chengfei rubbed his head and had no objection to the old lady's arrangement. He didn't ask her whether her uncle and aunt would come during the Chinese New Year. It would be useless to ask because they would definitely not come.

Nowadays, in addition to weekends, there are only nine legal holidays every year, namely the Spring Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and National Day.

During the three-day holiday during the Chinese New Year, my uncle and aunt got on the train and had to rush back before they even got off the train. There was no time to reunite, no time at all! !

After eating and drinking, Zhang Chengfei asked the old lady to wash the dishes, while he went back to the back room and started to sleep.

I made an appointment with Fatty to treat them to Lao Mo’s dinner tonight! Now that I’m full of sleep, I won’t eat at noon, so I can eat more at night!

......

As soon as he closed and opened his eyes, a whole day passed by. Zhang Chengfei got out of bed and looked at the sky outside. It was very good. It was evening, probably around five o'clock in the afternoon.

He took out a few pieces of red sausage from the system vegetable market and the soft heart-protecting meat in the marinade. He took it to the kitchen and handed it to the old lady, "I bought this in the morning. I put it in the bag and forgot to give it to you. You can make it tonight." Tang, cut some cooked food and eat and drink by yourself, I will go find the fat man later and eat with them."

The old lady has never been interested in Western food. Besides, today Gangzi is taking Jingqiu there. If an elder like the old lady comes there, the standards will be different, so we might as well let her eat at home.

After settling his grandma, Zhang Chengfei started to wash up, thinking about going to the department store tomorrow to buy a clock and radio.

With a clock, you don’t need to check the weather. If you have a radio at home, the old lady can listen to it when she is bored.

Dong-dong-dong, there was a knock on the door.

"The door is not closed, come in." Zhang Chengfei turned around and found the wilting Silly Zhu standing at the door.

"Dachengzi, tell me the truth, does Han Zongrui's piece of shit use that pot? Use it..."

When Silly Zhu said this, he couldn't help but retched.

As soon as I entered the factory today, the police from Nanluoguxiang Police Station surrounded the canteen of the steel rolling mill. He watched with his own eyes as they entered the utility room and took out a few heads and pieces of meat. They also dismantled the large pot in the kitchen and carried it away.

That’s a big pot with a diameter of 1.3 meters! ! It can serve more than 100 dishes! !

There is no airtight wall. After the police left, some people in the factory spread the news that Han Zongrui had killed the people who were cooking in that pot. They also said that every time he finished cooking, he would taste whether the meat was soft or rotten. Whether the saltiness is moderate...

Silly Zhu has been using that pot, and he also eats his own food every day. Hearing these words, he was so disgusted that he didn't eat lunch today, and he didn't bring any leftovers back in the evening! !

As soon as I got off work, I ran to Zhang Chengfei's house, "Brother, tell me the truth. He really cooked human heads and human flesh in there?"

--He now knows why Zhang Chengfei didn't let him eat what was cooked in that pot in the morning.

Zhang Chengfei took out clam oil and wiped his face, and said casually, "It's hard to say more about the case now, but as a cook, you have killed so many animals, why are you still afraid of this?"

"Can this be the same? This is a human being, a living and talking person!!"

The cook has seen a lot of blood. Silhu started as an apprentice and killed a lot of chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, and even sheep, but he really didn't dare to do it.

Silly Zhu remembered that when he was an apprentice, his master once told him that in ancient times, there were people who ate human flesh and called people two-legged sheep. But he didn't expect that such a person was right next to him...

Thinking of this, he sighed again, "I really didn't expect it. Han Zongrui usually seems so honest, why? Dachengzi, tell me, how does he find the target of his murder?"

Thinking of how he always bullied Han Zongrui, Shazhu felt a little guilty.

Zhang Chengfei deliberately scared him, "Don't look at him pretending to be so honest. In fact, he is a biting dog but doesn't bark. After he was caught, he said it himself that he would kill anyone who bullied him."

hiss! Silly Zhu sat down on the ground with a plop, feeling a chill on his back, and cold sweat running down his back.

"Dachengzi, you are my brother's reborn parents!!! No one in Daqing is worthy of you being my father!!"

That guy He Daqing ran away with the widow and didn't want him anymore. But Zhang Chengfei saved him from the fate of becoming a two-legged sheep! !

After teasing Silly Zhu for a while, Zhang Chengfei rode his bicycle to the police station, ready to pick up Reba, but when he arrived at the door, he found that Jia Zhang was also standing here.

He was dressed quite neatly, with an indigo short jacket on his upper body and a pair of black trousers on his lower body. Hu Lan didn't know what he put on his head, making it shiny and smooth.

Seeing Zhang Chengfei, Mrs. Jia Zhang seemed a little embarrassed and said, "Dachengzi, aren't you off work? Why are you back again? You can't risk your health for work."

"It's not work. Why don't you take my partner to dinner?" Zhang Chengfei looked at Jia Zhang's expression, "Aunt Zhang, if you don't go home for dinner right now, what are you doing here?"

"Ah, um..." Ms. Jia Zhang hesitated, "I'll go back right away, right away. Aren't you going to pick up Reba for dinner? Go quickly, don't make people wait."

Zhang Chengfei shrugged, knowing that she was prevaricating him, but he didn't ask further, since it had nothing to do with him anyway.

Zhang Chengfei picked up Reba and rode his bicycle straight to Lao Mo. Not long after crossing the Xizhimen Bridge and heading west, he could see the Soviet-style pointed roof of the Forty-Nine City Exhibition Hall. Turn right along the path next to the exhibition hall, and Lao Mo appears in front of you.

Lao Mo is the first furry bear restaurant in Sijiu City. It was founded in 1954. At first, it only received foreign guests and government receptions, and later it began to open to the outside world.

This place is expensive and high-end. Ordinary people, let alone eating, have to jog when passing by the door, for fear that they will have to pay if they walk slowly.

As soon as Zhang Chengfei and Reba got off the bus, Fatty, Siyaner, and Ergouzi arrived.

The first time Fatty saw Reba, his eyes went straight.

Damn it, I really sucked.

They are all buddies, and they grew up photographing mothers-in-law together. It would be fine for Zhang Chengfei to find his partner first, but the key partner is actually so beautiful! ! Who wouldn’t break your guard after seeing this! !

My own failure is certainly terrifying, but my friends’ success is even more chilling, brothers! !

Zhang Chengfei introduced a few people, and Fatty and Siyaner shook hands with Reba.

When she got to Ergouzi, all she could see was eating. The fat man couldn't help but sneer, "You haven't even grown your hair yet, and your walnut-sized brain can only think about eating."

Seeing the tall carved European-style pillars, the seven- to eight-meter dome, and the revolving door, Ergouzi rubbed his hands in excitement, "Are we really going to eat here?"

"This is it, brother, please, everyone is free to eat today." Zhang Chengfei didn't care about the price at all. Even if one person eats to his heart's content, it only costs eight yuan.

This may seem like a big deal to others, but to him, who owns a zero-yuan grocery store, it's a big deal.

Ergouzi heard Zhang Chengfei's words and excitedly counted on his fingers how many large white steamed buns he could eat.

When Si Jian'er saw what he said, he immediately sneered, "Ignorant thing, why don't you go to a Western restaurant to eat steamed buns? Why don't you have a few big pickled radishes?? All they eat in that place is bread!! Bread ) Have you heard it? Didn't you read it in the book? 'There will be bread, there will be milk, there will be everything.'

Er Gouzi was very humble. He was not angry when Si Yan'er pushed him so hard. Instead, he leaned over and begged his brother to come in and take care of him later. Don't let a person like him who knows nothing enter the Western restaurant. It's embarrassing to be in circles.

Si Yan'er patted his head and said, "Don't worry, brother will protect you!! When you get there, just follow me and learn."

With his brother's words, Ergouzi entered the restaurant boldly and proudly, and was immediately greeted by a waiter in a black tuxedo.

Several people, led by the waiter, slowly walked into the restaurant.

The restaurant is large, broad and bright, with white tablecloths, white floor-length gauze curtains, huge crystal chandeliers, and solid wood floors throughout, all of which shocked Fatty and the others.

Compared to them, the well-informed Zhang Chengfei was very calm.

Under the guidance of the waiter, everyone found Gangzi and Jingqiu.

The two people were sitting at the table cautiously, one holding the tablecloth and the other holding the hem of his clothes. Seeing Zhang Chengfei appear, Gangzi couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother Da Fei, you are finally here."

He was the first to arrive with Jingqiu, because he felt like a fool waiting at the door, so he went in first. Who knew that once inside, he would actually look more like a fool! !

"We're here, why don't I introduce it to everyone." Zhang Chengfei pulled out a stool and motioned for Reba to sit down, while smiling at Gangzi.

Gangzi quickly introduced him, "This is our neighbor. His name is Zhao Jingqiu. He works in the meat factory and is responsible for killing pigs and sometimes washing pig intestines."

Jingqiu stood up under his introduction, and Zhang Chengfei's eyes suddenly changed. Good guy, this girl is as tall as himself! ! It must be more than 1.8 meters.

It was the first time for the brothers to meet Jingqiu. They each greeted her, and then Zhang Chengfei introduced Reba. They went back and forth like this. After a few minutes of tossing, they finally sat down and prepared to order.

The waiter handed over a few pieces of paper, and everyone looked at it, dumbfounded.

The price of the above dishes is astronomical in this era. Even an ordinary salad costs [-] cents, which is enough to eat five bowls of rotten meat noodles outside! !

Several people looked at each other, a little afraid to order.

"You can't finish this meal for forty or fifty? Da Fei, you really invited me. Don't bite your pillow towel and cry when you go home at night!" The fat man looked at the menu and said quietly.

"Fuck you, uncle, do you think I'm you?" Zhang Chengfei scolded him, "Don't worry, don't be polite."

"Sure, if you say this, then you won't be polite." Si Yan'er took the lead in ordering.
