Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

The master and his apprentice were walking on the street when they suddenly spotted a braised meat stall with a cart. Smelling the aroma of the braised meat, Jia Dongxu swallowed and said, "Master, we can celebrate tonight. There is a braised meat stall in front of us. Should we buy some to try?"

Yi Zhonghai's monthly salary was more than 80 yuan. Thinking about Sha Zhu being beaten up by street thugs, he was very happy. Yi Zhonghai thought about it and decided to have a big party tonight. He hadn't tasted meat for a long time, so he bought some braised meat to try. Yi Zhonghai nodded, and Jia Dongxu stopped the owner of the braised meat stall with a smile.

The owner of the braised meat stall was stunned at first, Yi Zhonghai walked over and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, old comrade. My master and I want to buy some braised meat to try. We have no ill intentions." The old man nodded in relief, patted him on the chest and said, "Wow, this tall and strong young man just ran over to me. I thought he wanted to steal my braised meat. Please take a look and decide which part you want."

The old man looked very kind and honest, which made Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai relax their vigilance. Jia Dongxu drooled and said, "Master, this braised meat smells so good." Yi Zhonghai nodded. To be honest, this braised meat is really delicious. The old man nodded with a smile and said, "How is it, comrades? I have been shouting here all afternoon today, and it is dark now. There are only a few things left, why don't you buy them all. Well, I will give you two a discount, what do you think?"

Looking at the red braised meat in the pot and the aroma emanating from it, Jia Dongxu didn't know how many times he had swallowed his saliva. Yi Zhonghai also nodded. He had lived to such an old age, but this was the first time he had encountered such fragrant braised meat. Yi Zhonghai nodded and said, "The master and I will buy all of this. How much do you want?"

When it comes to money, the old man's expression can no longer be so honest, his eyes are full of shrewdness. He smiled and made a five and said, "There are about five or six pounds of things left, including pig eggs, pig lungs, pig penis and some pig skin. There are also braised eggs in it. I guarantee you won't be cheated or fooled."

Jia Dongxu said with a gloomy face, "Hey, old man. You really treat us as fat sheep. It's just a little thing, and you want us to pay five dollars. Are you crazy?" Jia Dongxu inherited his mother's character of not being able to speak, and he said whatever was in his mind. When the stall owner heard this, he said with a gloomy face, "How can you talk like this, young man? Okay, okay, I won't sell it anymore."

Yi Zhonghai hurriedly stopped the old man, kicked Jia Dongxu who was standing beside him and said, "What did your master teach you? The first principle of being a human being is to respect the elderly and love the young. If you can't even respect the elderly, then don't be my apprentice in the future. Say sorry to this old man quickly. You are too impulsive at such a young age."

Jia Dongxu bowed to the old man very reluctantly. In fact, Yi Zhonghai was not really targeting Jia Dongxu. He just didn't want his retirement seed players to develop the habit of disrespecting the elderly. If he doesn't respect the elderly now, who will respect him when Yi Zhonghai gets old?

The old man waved his hands quickly. Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "Shouldn't the young man apologize to the old man? Old brother, I have taught such a disciple and made you laugh at me." The old man waved his hands and said, "Your disciple is very good. You can see that he is very tall and mighty, with a face like what's that called? Guan Yu. You can tell at first glance that he is a handsome man. When he grows up, he will definitely soar to the sky."

Listening to what the old man said, the dissatisfaction accumulated in Jia Dongxu's heart had long disappeared. Now looking at this old man selling braised meat, he felt a little kind. Jia Dongxu smiled awkwardly and apologized to the old man again and again. In the end, Jia Dongxu and his apprentice bought all the remaining meat. The three of them chatted together for a while and then went their separate ways.

After parting with Master and Apprentice Jia Dongxu, the old man lost his kindness and had a stern look on his face. He took off his apron and pushed the cart to the door of a dilapidated courtyard. He knocked on the door and several young people ran out. When they saw the old man, they smiled and said, "Uncle Zhou, how is your business today?"

Uncle Zhou said with a smile, "As your uncle, it will be a piece of cake for me. But where did you get this recipe? No matter whether the pig died of illness or normal causes, the braised meat is very delicious." The young man smiled and said, "That's my exclusive secret recipe. I'm going to use it to marry a wife in the future."

Old man Zhou nodded with a smile and said, "Sanwa is grown up now and is thinking about getting married. Do you want your uncle to find one for you? I guarantee she will be very beautiful." Zhou Sanwa smiled and waved his hand and said, "Forget about that. I just want to make a lot of money now. Uncle, just follow me from now on, and I guarantee you will have a good life in the future."

The young man took the money he earned from Mr. Zhou, and then took out about 20 yuan and handed it to Mr. Zhou. He smiled and said to Mr. Zhou, "Uncle, this 20 yuan is your reward for today's hard work. How about it? I am very good to you. I brought you from my remote hometown to the great capital to make money. There is no nephew better than me in the world."

Old Man Zhou nodded with a fake smile. Although he smiled, he cursed this kid in his heart. If there is any problem with the braised pork, I will be the first person arrested by the government. Do you really think that he, Old Man Zhou, has lived for so many years in vain? He is using him as a shield. Old Man Zhou is very unhappy.

Looking at his nephew who was counting money with a smile on his face, Old Man Zhou had a bold idea in his mind. If Zhou Sanwazi could make a big splash in the capital with such a formula, then why couldn't Zhou Tieqiang do the same? If he could really gain a foothold in the city, then his sons, grandsons, and even great-grandsons, Zhou Tieqiang's descendants, would all be city dwellers who could eat public food. They would become the envy of everyone, and no longer be busy with the crops in the fields.
