Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

Chapter 98 Boiled Fish

Yan Bugui finally figured it out and stopped pursuing the matter. The two of them went back to playing chess.

After what happened just now, Sun Zhengguo was a little absent-minded, allowing Yan Bugui to win several games in a row.

Seeing that he had won the game, Yan Bugui's mood improved and he couldn't help humming.

"I was watching the mountain scenery from the tower when I heard a commotion outside the city. Flags were waving in the air, and it turned out that they were soldiers sent by Sima. I sent people to inquire, and they learned that Sima was leading his troops westward..."

"Uncle, just say a few words. You can't play chess if you keep grumbling like this."

"Hahaha! You are young after all! You can't keep your cool. You need to learn to control your emotions. Be like Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms period, who remained calm even when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him."

Seeing that Yan Bugui spoke as if it were true, Sun Zhengguo was too lazy to point it out to him. He continued to move the chess piece in his hand, considering his next move.

"Ding ding ding..."

The sudden sound of a car bell caught the attention of both men.

I saw two bicycles coming from far away. The one riding the front one was Xu Fugui, and there was a projector tied to the back seat.

Following behind him was his son Xu Damao. Many local specialties from the countryside were hung on the front handlebar of the car.

You can tell from his posture that he just came back from the countryside and hasn’t even been back to the factory.

When Yan Bugui saw the local specialties hanging on the handlebars, he could no longer sit still and stood up to meet the customer.

"Uncle, you need to stay calm and control your emotions. Learn from Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms period, who remained calm even when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him."

Sun Zhengguo on the side joked.

Yan Bugui didn't expect that retribution would come so soon. The words he had just used to persuade others were returned to him intact.

But who is Yan Bugui?

His face is thicker than a city wall, and even three swords cannot cut into it, yet he still speaks shamelessly.

"As the third uncle in the hospital, it is reasonable for him to think about the people's thoughts and worries and help the people get off the car, right?"

Listen! What a high level of ideological awareness! If people who don’t know him don’t know him, they would really think they have met a person with noble character.

I bother!

"Oh! It's Lao Xu who's back. It's so hot, you must have worked hard! The threshold is too high, let me help you lift it."

"Uncle, thank you very much! Sorry for the trouble."

Xu Fugui knew that this miser was eyeing his things, but since the man had already come, he couldn't just chase him away!

"What are you talking about? It's no trouble, no trouble."

After saying that, Yan Bugui pretended to be working hard and helped Xu Fugui lift the car over, and then helped Xu Damao lift the car over.

"Thank you, Third Uncle!"

Xu Damao said politely.

"It's just a small favor, no thanks!"

After lifting the car, Yan Bugui said nothing and just stood aside, because he knew that Xu Fugui would definitely express his opinion.

"Da Mao! Don't just stand there like an idiot. Get your uncle a bunch of dried mushrooms. You can't let him work for nothing!"

"okay!"

After Xu Damao finished speaking, he took a bunch of dried mushrooms from the handlebars and handed it to Yan Bugui.

"Uncle, take it. Thank you for your help."

"This, this is so embarrassing!"

Yan Bugui said sorry but his hand was already extended.

"Take it! Uncle, the country folks are very friendly and will give it to you for free. You can't refuse it."

Xu Damao was very arrogant and said this with a Versailles look on his face.

"That's right, in this courtyard, your Xu family is the most powerful one."

After Yan Bugui finished speaking, he made another signature gesture and raised his thumb.

Sun Zhengguo on the side had a frown on his face, but why did this action look so familiar?

Oh! Now I remember that Yan Bugui once used this action and words to praise Sun Dajiang.

"Old classmate, you are playing chess here! Come, take a bunch back and try it."

Sun Zhengguo didn't expect that he was also involved. This shows that Xu Damao is quite a good person. He noticed some small details and would not offend people easily.

It would be unforgivable for such a person to fail in life. As for the fact that he ended up in such a miserable state as in the original plot, Sun Zhengguo said that it was just a joke on TV and people should not take it seriously.

In the end, Sun Zhengguo was unable to persuade Xu Damao and had to accept the dried mushrooms.

After the Xu father and son left, Sun Zhengguo looked at his watch. It was getting late and he had to go back to cook.

"Uncle San, let's stop here for today! I have to go back to cook. We'll fight again next time."

Yan Bugui was about to send the mushrooms back, so he agreed.

After returning home, Sun Zhengguo began to clean the herring. His younger brothers and sisters helped him to fetch water. After washing it, they began to slice it and marinate it for later use.

Sun Zhengguo had made this dish countless times in his previous life, so he was very familiar with it now. Although there were fewer seasonings, the dish was still very fragrant.

Especially when the last spoonful of hot oil was poured, the younger brothers and sisters on the side were completely intoxicated.

This brother is really good. Today he made a dish that I’ve never eaten before. It tastes so delicious. What if I can’t eat it in the future?

The two greedy cats in the Sun family were so anxious that they were scratching their heads. The neighbors in the compound were also talking about it. It was the rush hour after get off work and many people passed by the gate.

"Old Yan, what kind of food did the Sun family cook? It smells so good! Look how anxious the old lady is, she's pacing around."

Yi Zhonghai pointed at the deaf old lady and spoke.

"How would I know? I only know that they caught a big fish today. I guess it should be fish meat!"

Yan Bugui only knew this much, how could he know what the dish was? Not only the deaf old lady, but even he himself couldn't stand the smell.

"Hey! Shazhu is back. It's a good time for you to smell this. What kind of dish is this? It smells so good."

"Third uncle, first uncle is here too!"

"Ok!"

Yi Zhonghai answered vaguely.

Shazhu didn't care. Anyway, the relationship between the two families was there. If you don't care, I don't want to bother with you!

"Uncle, I smelled this smell outside just now. I can't tell. It's a bit like boiled pork slices, but not quite. Now I can be sure that this is a dish made in Sichuan style."

If Sun Zhengguo had listened to Sha Zhu's analysis, he would have definitely given him a thumbs up. This dish was improved upon based on boiled pork slices in later generations.

"Even you don't know, where did Sun Zhengguo learn this dish?"

Yan Bugui couldn't figure it out and said in confusion.

Shazhu took note of Yan Bugui's words and will definitely ask for his advice in the future.

Sha Zhu didn't continue the conversation. He just said hello and walked towards the central courtyard. The rest of the people continued to talk there.

At this time, Sun Dajiang and his wife also entered the yard. They saw the neighbors pointing at his house and talking about something. They thought something had happened at home and hurried home.

After they got home, they opened the door curtain and saw the three siblings sitting at the table, and they felt relieved.

"Mom and Dad, you're back. That's great. We can have dinner now."

Lin Wencui smelled the fragrance and looked at the dishes on the table. She finally understood that the group of people outside were attracted by the fragrance. It was really boring. She thought something had happened.

"Eat if you're hungry!"

Lin Wencui waved her hand.

After receiving the instructions, the brothers and sisters started eating.

After washing their hands, Sun Dajiang and his wife also went to the table and several people started to scramble for the food.

Boiled fish is a spicy dish, and the weather was hot, so several people ate it while steaming hot, with sweat all over their faces. But no one cared. If they had to blame someone, it was because the dish was too delicious.

In a short while, a large pot of boiled fish was eaten up. Everyone was full, and the two children even licked their lips as if they were still savoring the taste.

After dinner, Lin Wencui cleaned up the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them. When she saw the oil bottle, she was dumbfounded.

"what……!"

"Sun Zhengguo, you cooked a dish and used my whole bottle of oil."

The sharp roar gave several people in the room a shudder.

Several people looked at Sun Zhengguo with sympathy, saying they could do nothing to help.

"No way! Everyone ate it when we were eating just now."

A few people remained unmoved, it seemed they could no longer be relied upon.

Sun Zhengguo sighed to the sky!

"Why am I always the one who's hurt!"
