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

After lunch, Cai Quanwu sat in the room and took a nap.

I opened my eyes drowsily when the bell for work rang.

After standing up and stretching his muscles, Cai Quanwu went out to wash his face.

Because I just woke up, my head was not very clear and I felt a little dazed.

After washing his face, Cai Quanwu still felt a little heavy-headed, so he sat there in a daze, supporting his chin with his hand.

"Xiao Cai, Xiao Cai."

It was unknown how long it had been before Cai Quanwu came to his senses when he heard the master's voice.

Coming back to his senses, Cai Quanwu looked at the master who entered the room. He looked like a human being and started joking with a smile:

"Then Master, you are here."

"You look quite refreshed today. You look several years younger than yesterday."

When the master heard Cai Quanwu's compliment, he took a stool and sat down, saying proudly:

"That's right. I specially found a master to cut my hair and trim my beard. Then I went to the bathhouse to soak for a long time and let them rub my hair."

"I went to the department store and bought this dress this morning."

"Not bad right."

The master was also quite satisfied with his outfit today.

Looking at the proud master, Cai Quanwu praised:

"Not bad."

"As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and gold makes the Buddha. This outfit suits you very well, Master."

"If you go out like this, people will believe you if you say you are fifty."

This time, Tsai Quanwu did not tell a lie.

After the master tidied up like this, he was like a completely different person from yesterday.

The previous master didn’t dress well and was rather sloppy, so he looked a bit old.

In fact, the master had never suffered any hardship and had always had good living conditions. If it weren't for the death of his wife and children, which dealt him a blow, he would probably have lived for many more years.

"Xiao Cai, you are exaggerating."

"I'm old. I'm almost sixty."

The master was self-aware and knew that Cai Quanwu was praising him on purpose.

"Really not, then, Master."

"You don't look like someone who's almost sixty today."

Cai Quanwu did not admit that he was praising the master and insisted that what he said was the truth.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

When the master heard Cai Quanwu say this, he could only end the topic and get down to business:

"Xiao Cai, has anyone replied?"

Cai Quanwu saw that the master was a little impatient, so he didn't keep him in suspense and replied with a smile:

"Jia Zhang agreed."

"You can go and book a hotel now."

"Just agree."

When the master heard Cai Quanwu say that the other party agreed, he was so happy that his face was full of smiles.

His Yang Guidian can't run away.

"By the way, Xiao Cai, where do you think is a good place to book a restaurant?" Thinking of booking a restaurant, the chef asked Cai Quanwu.

He didn't know much about the Jia family, so he wanted to ask Cai Quanwu for some advice.

When Cai Quanwu heard the chef asking him which restaurant he wanted to book, he thought, how would he know?

The hotels are of different grades and the prices vary greatly.

In an ordinary state-owned restaurant, this meal would probably cost only 10 or 20 yuan.

If it was at a restaurant like Quanjude or Fengzeyuan, even if the entire Jia family went out, the bill would cost at least 50 or 60 yuan.

Take Quanjude for example. If the Jia family really wanted to eat to their heart’s content, each person could easily get a roast duck.

Not to mention placing it in Fengze Garden.

So it is really difficult for Tsai Quan-wu to come up with this idea.

Thinking of this, Cai Quanwu did not give the master any advice, but instead gave a tactful reminder:

"Then Master, the Jia family members all have big appetites."

"You can choose the place that suits you best."

When the master heard Cai Quanwu say this, he understood what he meant.

Having a big appetite just means being able to eat a lot.

Normally, you would go to an ordinary restaurant and eat large portions to fill your stomach.

However, the master thought about it and did not accept Cai Quanwu's kindness. Instead, he said:

"Why not Quanjude?"

"The roast duck tastes good. I haven't been there for a long time. I'm a little craving for it."

Cai Quanwu knew that the master's claim that he was greedy was just an excuse.

The real intention is probably to save face, or to show off.

Cai Quanwu didn't care. He had already reminded everyone. Since the chef said to go to Quanjude, then they might as well go to Quanjude.

Anyway, he doesn't have to spend any money.

However, Cai Quanwu still gave the chef a warning: "Chef, when we go to Quanjude, you must choose a big duck. I'm afraid if it's too small, it won't be enough to eat."

The master paid no attention to Cai Quanwu's reminder and said generously:

"I understand what you mean. I'll just order a few more ducks."

"I don't eat it every day, but I can still afford it if I eat it once in a while."

The master had said this, so Cai Quanwu was not dissatisfied and smiled:

"Okay, that's settled."

"I asked them to go directly to Quanjude tomorrow night. We will wait for them at Quanjude."

When the master heard what Cai Quanwu said, he agreed:

"okay."

"I'll go and reserve a seat."

"Xiao Cai, when you get off work tomorrow, go directly to Quanjude. I won't come here and wait for you at Quanjude, okay?"

"Row."

Cai Quanwu had no objection to the master's arrangement and agreed immediately.

"Then I'll go first."

Seeing that Cai Quanwu agreed, the master immediately got up and left.

He rushed to Quanjude to reserve a seat.

After the master left, Cai Quanwu smiled and shook his head.

I thought to myself, if this old house caught fire, there would be no way to save it.

……

After get off work, Cai Quanwu rode his bicycle with Xiao Wu sitting on the back seat, carrying a chicken coop in his hand, and headed towards the courtyard.

Back at the courtyard, Xiao Wu got off the bicycle and Cai Quanwu pushed the bicycle into the courtyard.

The third uncle who was standing guard at the door looked at the chicken coop in Xiao Wu's hand and said enviously:

"Hey, Lao Cai, your company is really good. They are giving you benefits again."

The third uncle was really envious and jealous of Cai Quanwu.

This unit has great benefits.

It’s not even the holiday season yet, but they’re already giving out benefits every now and then.

Think about their school, they haven’t even given out a single chicken feather until now, the difference is so huge.

"Old Yan, you think too much. There are not so many benefits to be given out."

“I bought this myself.”

"The chickens are fed with rainwater. Zhuzi killed one last time. She begged me to buy her two more yesterday to feed them for laying eggs."

"Look, I bought two for her when I passed by the market after get off work."

Cai Quanwu stopped and gave a half-true and half-false explanation.

The Third Uncle is not a good person. If I don't explain, he might really write a letter of denunciation to report me out of jealousy.

While Cai Quanwu was talking, Xiao Wu smiled at the third uncle, picked up the chicken coop and walked straight into the yard.

The third uncle looked at Xiao Wu's departing back, his eyes fixed on the chicken coop, until Xiao Wu disappeared from his sight, then he turned around and replied with a smile:

"Oh, I see. I thought your company was distributing benefits again."

Cai Quanwu's explanation made the third uncle feel much better.

Otherwise he would feel really unbalanced. We are all serving the people, so why should your grain store distribute things every now and then?
