Siheyuan: Traveling through Cai Quanwu, pretending to be Uncle Shazhu

Cai Quanwu walked out of the house and arrived at the Jia family after just a few steps.

Looking at the open door, Cai Quanwu walked in without any courtesy.

When Cai Quanwu entered the room, he saw Jia Zhangshi, Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu sitting around the table. The little brat Banggeng was crawling around under the table, having a lot of fun.

And the table was placed with prepared food.

It's not even five o'clock yet, and Shazhu doesn't even know whether they have started cooking, but the Jia family has already prepared the meal.

It seems that the Jia family had planned this long ago.

Cai Quanwu even suspected that the Jia family had wanted to invite him over at noon, but he left early and the Jia family didn't have time to say hello to him.

I prepared the meal and waited for him to come back, but he didn't come home at noon, so he had to come back in the evening.

His suspicion was not without basis.

Because he had just returned not long ago, even if the Jia family started cooking from the moment he came back, it would be impossible for them to prepare the meal so quickly.

When Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu saw Cai Quanwu coming in, they immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile:

"Uncle Cai."

"Uncle Cai."

Jia Zhang sat there without saying a word, but her expression was completely different from when she saw Cai Quanwu before. She looked at Cai Quanwu with a rare smile on her face.

You should know that Jia Zhang had never had a good face when she saw Cai Quan before.

It was the first time that Cai Quanwu saw Jia Zhang greet him with a smile.

Seeing Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu greeting him, Cai Quanwu smiled and nodded.

Then he walked to the table and praised the food on the table:

"Oh, this dish is quite rich, Dongxu, thank you for your expense."

Cai Quanwu did not mean this as a joke, but rather spoke from the heart.

The fact that the Jia family could prepare such a table was already far beyond their usual meals.

There was not only meat on the table, but also eggs, peanuts, and a bottle of Erguotou.

Normally, the Jia family would definitely not be willing to eat like this.

Facing Cai Quanwu's praise, Jia Dongxu felt a little uneasy, not knowing whether it was true or not, and acted very modestly:

"Uncle Cai, this is just a common occurrence. Huairu's skill is not as good as Shazhu's, so you have to put up with it."

Jia Dongxu knew that Cai Quanwu and his family ate well, because he could smell meat coming from Sha Zhu's kitchen every now and then.

When it comes to cooking skills, Shazhu is far better than Qinhuai.

So he really didn't know whether Tsai Quanwu had any hidden meaning in what he said.

"Yes, Uncle Cai, my craftsmanship cannot be compared with Zhuzi's." After Jia Dongxu finished speaking, Qin Huairu agreed with a smile.

After Jia Dongxu and his wife finished their pleasantries, Jia Zhang greeted Cai Quanwu very politely:

"Uncle Zhuzi, please take a seat. Although Huairu's cooking skills are not as good as Shazhu's, his home cooking is still pretty good. You can try Huairu's cooking skills later."

Cai Quanwu was not used to Jia Zhang's good attitude. She was completely different from the Jia Zhang he had met before.

He still found Jia Zhang's unruly look pleasing to the eye.

Unfortunately, I can only think about it in my heart. He came to visit others, not to cause trouble.

"Okay, I'll try Dongxu's wife's cooking today." Cai Quanwu sat down on the stool and started joking.

Seeing Cai Quanwu sit down, Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu followed and sat down.

After everyone was seated, Jia Zhang said to Jia Dongxu, "Dongxu, open the wine and have a drink with Uncle Zhuzi."

"I got it, Mom."

After hearing the order, Jia Dongxu opened the bottle of Erguotou on the table and poured wine into the glass in front of Cai Quanwu.

After filling Cai Quanwu's glass, Jia Dongxu also filled his own glass. Then he put down the bottle, picked up the glass, and said to Cai Quanwu: "Uncle Cai, I toast to you."

As he said that, Jia Dongxu drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Seeing this, Cai Quanwu could only pick up the wine glass and drink it all.

After they finished drinking, Qin Huairu smiled and greeted them:

"Uncle Cai, Dongxu, please eat your food."

"Mom, you eat too."

"Together."

After Cai Quanwu finished speaking, he picked up a peanut and put it in his mouth.

It’s no secret that Qin Huairu has really controlled the temperature when frying the peanuts.

It seems that I must have fried a lot of peanuts at home before.

No wonder people in TV dramas give peanuts to Sha Zhu for no reason.

Cai Quanwu ate a few peanuts, then took a few more chopsticks to taste the other dishes, then smiled and praised:

"Dongxu's wife, you have good skills."

"Uncle Cai, if you like it, just eat a few more bites." Qin Huairu replied with a smile when she heard Cai Quan praising her.

In fact, she knew in her heart that Cai Quanwu’s words should not be taken seriously. The dishes she cooked were definitely not as good as those of Sha Zhu. Cai Quanwu was probably giving her face.

When Jia Zhang heard Cai Quanwu praising Qin Huairu's craftsmanship, she rolled her eyes. Such words could only fool fools.

But she would not say this out loud. She just followed Qin Huairu's words and said:

"Huai Ru is right, Uncle Zhuzi, eat more."

After saying this, Jia Zhang turned to Jia Dongxu who was concentrating on eating and said:

"Dongxu, don't just focus on eating the food, pour some wine for Uncle Zhuzi."

Cai Quanwu finally saw another side of Jia Zhang today.

He used to think that Jia Zhang was just a unreasonable person, but now it seems that everyone underestimated Jia Zhang.

Look at the way he treats people now, there is no trace of unreasonableness at all.

Jia Dongxu was eating when he heard the instruction. He immediately put down his chopsticks, refilled Cai Quanwu's glass of wine, and started drinking with him.

Just like that, after three rounds of wine and five dishes, Jia Zhang started talking about business.

"Uncle Zhuzi, my family and I have discussed the matter you mentioned last time. Do you think we can meet first?"

"Otherwise we won't have a clear idea in our hearts."

Jia Zhang is not one of those young girls who have never seen the world and would foolishly take other people's one-sided words seriously.

Jia Zhang didn't believe a single word that came from other people's mouths.

Thinking back to the time when she was able to marry Lao Jia from the countryside, she gave the little pocket money she had saved to the matchmaker. Later, with the help of the matchmaker's eloquence, he praised her like a flower in front of Lao Jia.

After hearing this, Lao Jia was moved and agreed to meet him.

Finally, when they met, she was able to take the risk again and slept with Lao Jia directly, and only then did she get Lao Jia into her hands.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be that easy to marry into this city from a rural village.

She is the only one in their village for all these years.

She is still very glad that she made such a decisive decision.

After being married in the city for so many years, she knew more about the matchmaker's tricks through what she had seen and heard.

Not only did she have to meet and talk first, but she also had to conduct an on-site inspection to confirm whether it was true as Cai Quanwu said that the old man had a two-story courtyard.

It's not like she hasn't heard of people borrowing houses and furniture to get married.

Not only had she heard of people borrowing houses and furniture to get married, she had also heard of people changing partners after a blind date.

There are so many tricks here that you can easily be deceived if you are not careful.

Cai Quanwu certainly didn't know what Jia Zhang was thinking. In his opinion, there was nothing wrong with Jia Zhang's request.

Isn’t this a blind date? A man and a woman first find a place to chat and see if they like each other and if they want to continue the relationship.

It’s just that the man and woman are a little older now.

However, Cai Quanwu did not agree immediately because he had to put pressure on Jia Zhang.

Cai Quanwu pretended to think for a moment before saying:

"I can't make the decision on this matter. I just heard about it."

"If you're interested, I'll have to tell my colleague at work tomorrow and ask him to ask the other party what he thinks."

"If the other party agrees, then we can find a place or I can bring the old man over so you can talk."

"I don't think it will happen that soon."
