Sha Zhu suggested cutting all the fish into pieces and frying them. This would not only make it easier to preserve the fish, but also save him from having to do so much work the next day.

Yan Bugui immediately showed an embarrassment on his face: "Zhu Zi, this idea is good, but I don't have so much fried fish at home."

Then he asked for help from the crowd: "Does anyone have any oil at home? Can you lend it to us to fry the fish? I will return it to you after the fish is fried."

As soon as this sentence was said, no one answered the question and the entire front yard fell into silence.

Many people can't even afford oil at home, and even if they do, they will use it sparingly. Who would be willing to lend out good oil and then get back oil that smells like fish?

Seeing that no one responded, Yan Bugui knew that there was little hope, so he asked, "Zhu Zi, is there any other way?"

The dishes that Sha Zhu usually cooks in the cafeteria are mainly vegetarian. Not long ago, there was also fish, but the weather was not hot at that time, so there was no need to worry about the food going bad.

He thought for a while, but there was no better way, so he had to ask Lin Donglai for help: "Donlai, do you have any good ideas?"

Lin Donglai smiled and said, "Uncle, you should be good at this. If there is really no other way, then use your old method to pickle these fish."

At this time, someone in the crowd said, "How can you give people salted fish at a wedding?"

When someone takes the lead, others will follow suit: "That's right, Uncle San, you're going to give us salted fish tomorrow, and we won't be happy about that."

"Yes, yes, that's right. That would make sense unless he doesn't need to accept the gift money tomorrow."

Listening to everyone's discussions that were all unfavorable to him, Yan Bugui quickly said, "Don't worry, everyone. How could the Third Master use salted fish at a wedding banquet? That's impossible."

"Well, we've bought all the fish, so you guys have nothing to do with it. Everyone go away."

After Yan Bugui issued the order to expel everyone, everyone felt disappointed and went home at the same time.

Sha Zhu also wanted to go home like everyone else. When he turned around, he saw Qin Huairu and immediately grinned at her.

Who would have thought that when this woman saw Sha Zhu, she looked as if she had seen a plague. Her nose was not a nose and her face was not a face. She rolled her eyes and quickened her pace back to the central courtyard.

The smile on his face suddenly froze. Lin Dong saw this helpless expression and sighed in his heart that Sha Zhu was a big victim.

"Brother Zhuzi, if I keep looking at your eyes, they're going to fall out. Come back to your senses!" After saying that, she waved her hand in front of his eyes.

"Dongla, you think the cafeteria work is so important? Is she avoiding me just because of this? Like an enemy."

"Brother Zhuzi, you finally realized it. It's not stupid to see a person's true face through this incident."

Yan Bugui was stunned as he listened, not understanding what these two people were up to. After asking the reason, he suddenly understood.

"Zhu Zi, Third Uncle told you before that after he helps me arrange Jie Cheng's wedding banquet, he will introduce you to someone. Have you forgotten this?"

"Qin Huairu is a widow with three burdens and her evil mother-in-law. You two are not a good match for her. Forget about it. Just help the Third Master and think of a solution."

Lin Donglai just wanted to go home at this moment, so he nodded quickly and told Sha Zhu not to think about it anymore, saying that the old ones are the most experienced and he should just listen to the uncle on this matter.

Seeing this, Yan Bugui ordered, "Yang Ruihua, let the two of you and Zhuzi kill the fish together, and I will pay Donglai for it."

When Sha Zhu heard that he was asked to kill the fish, he frowned and said, "Uncle San, you guys should handle the fish. If you hurt your hands, you won't be able to cook."

Yan Bugui and his wife had no way of refutation after all, they could only rely on Sha Zhu to help cook tomorrow, so they had no choice but to agree to whatever he said.

After calculating the bill again, Yan Bugui went home, took out the money, counted it three times, and handed it to Lin Donglai: "Donlai, you must come to Jie Cheng's wedding tomorrow."

After receiving the money, Lin Donglai went home casually. He had a good catch today. He was happy that he had satisfied his fishing addiction and earned money at the same time.

Since we were so happy, we naturally had to celebrate, so I decided not to cook today and take my sister out for a good meal.

When Lin Donglai and his sister returned to the yard after eating and drinking, the three adults of the Yan family were busy as hell, and even the three children were asked to help fetch water.

Sha Zhu did not go home. Instead, he directed Yan Bugui and his wife and Yan Jiecheng to cut the fish into pieces at Yan's house. They finally decided to bake the fish directly.

This method does not require any oil, salt, or anything like that, and the fish will not go bad if you leave it overnight without turning it over. It is perfect.

The Yan family was busy dealing with the fish the entire afternoon. After what had just happened in the yard, they did not dare to ask anyone for help, for fear that others might have bad intentions.

By the end, after they had finished cleaning up the fish, they were so exhausted that they couldn't even straighten their backs.

That night, the Yan family slept extremely soundly and did not even hear the cat's meow in the middle of the night.

After all, they are elderly people and have things on their minds. Yan Bugui woke up the three aunts early as usual, and the two of them got up together.

The first thing Yan Bugui did was to check the table. The fish on the table seemed to be in good condition and the chairs were also arranged properly. Only then did he feel at ease and walked out.

As soon as I walked into the kitchen, two black and white cats quickly squeezed out from a small hole in the roof beam.

He only took one look at the place where the fish were placed, and his face immediately changed. He screamed: "Oh my God! Old woman, come and see!"

The third aunt rushed into the kitchen and was dumbfounded by the scene in front of her. She saw that more than half of the fish pieces in the kitchen were gone, and her face changed visibly.

She cried, "Our fish! Old Yan, who did this? What should we do?"

Yan Bugui thought of the two cats he had just seen and complained distressedly, "It must be those two wild cats that came to steal the food. If I had known, I would not have listened to you and put the fish in the kitchen. What should I do now?"

When Yan Jiecheng heard the noise, he also walked into the kitchen. Seeing that so much fish was missing, he was shocked and thought that the banquet today might not be able to be held.

But it must be said that he was still calm at the critical moment, and said to the couple who were blaming each other: "Dad, Mom, there is still a way to remedy the situation."

"any solution?"

"While it's still light, hurry to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some meat. Stir-fry the cabbage with some meat, and it will be a good dish."

Yan Bugui was still hesitating, and the third aunt hurriedly urged him, "Old Yan, it's already late, don't think about it, go and buy two pounds of meat."

Although his heart was bleeding, the arrow had to be shot, and Yan Bugui had no choice but to take the money and buy some meat.

After everything was ready, Yan Jiecheng borrowed Lin Donglai's bicycle to pick up the bride, while Yan Bugui and his wife, like yesterday, brought the children and helped Sha Zhu.

Early in the morning, the entire front yard was bustling with activity...
