Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

Jia Dongxu nodded quickly. Being smart, he quickly followed what Liu Haizhong said. He pretended to be very dissatisfied with Liu Haizhong and said, "Yes, it's OK if he doesn't invite me, Jia Dongxu. Why doesn't he invite you, the second uncle? You are the second uncle who manages our courtyard. You have made great contributions to our courtyard. All the neighbors in the courtyard give you a thumbs up when they mention you. What's wrong with He Yuzhu? Does he look down on you?"

Jia Dongxu's last sentence made Liu Haizhong look very ugly. This sentence really hit his heart, and his face looked very ugly. Jia Dongxu was very happy in his heart. If you dare not invite me, you will be dealt with by Liu Haizhong.

Yan Fugui also came out with a bottle of wine in his hand, smiling. Liu Haizhong asked curiously, "Old Yan, where are you going?" Yan Fugui stopped and said, "Isn't Zhuzi inviting me to drink? I was just planning to go to their house." Liu Haizhong felt like his heart was stabbed again. He felt very uncomfortable that they invited such a sour man like Yan Fugui instead of inviting him, the old uncle.

Jia Dongxu almost laughed out loud. This old man Yan had made a good move. Liu Haizhong would definitely be even angrier. Suddenly, a fragrance appeared in the air. Yan Fugui sniffed, smiled and said, "Hey, Old Liu, I won't talk to you for now." Yan Fugui smiled and went to the middle courtyard, which made Jia Dongxu and Liu Haizhong very angry.

Liu Haizhong snorted coldly and said, "Your Third Uncle is really too outrageous. As the managers of the Siheyuan, how can we go to the neighbors' houses to eat and drink? How should we manage this Siheyuan at that time? This Yan Fugui is really too outrageous."

Liu Haizhong angrily cursed a lot. In short, since He Yuzhu did not invite him, it was a huge mistake for Yan Fugui to go. Jia Dongxu, who was standing by, curled his lips in his heart. Liu Haizhong was used to talking nonsense. But he still smiled and flattered, "Yes, this Third Uncle is really too outrageous. Unlike you, Second Uncle, who is so honest and dedicated to public service."

Liu Haizhong nodded with a smile, very satisfied with Jia Dongxu's flattery. He smiled and said, "Dongxu, you are a child with unique vision. I am very satisfied with you. I should..." Before he finished speaking, Xu Damao ran in from outside. He was also holding two bottles of Xifeng wine in his hands, and his face was full of smiles.

Especially when he ran into the courtyard and smelled the fragrance in the air. Xu Damao almost drooled, and he didn't pay any attention to Liu Haizhong in the courtyard, and went directly to the middle courtyard. This made Liu Haizhong very angry, and he said with a dark face, "It's outrageous, it's really too outrageous. These people don't take me, the second uncle, seriously."

Liu Haizhong snorted coldly, and didn't say anything to Jia Dongxu. He went to the backyard angrily. When he passed by the Chinese medicine hospital, he smelled a fragrance, which made Liu Haizhong very greedy. Xu Lide happened to come out of the backyard, saw Liu Haizhong standing in the middle yard and said, "Oh, it turns out to be you, Old Liu. What are you doing standing in the middle yard in such a cold weather?"

Liu Haizhong snorted coldly and said, "What do you care?" He left a word and went to the backyard with a dark face. Mao Shunhua said unhappily, "This Fatty Liu, our family didn't provoke him." Xu Lide smiled and said nonchalantly, "He's just a clown. Let's go quickly. Well, let's not talk about Zhuzi, his cooking skills are really good."

Xu Lide knocked on the door, and He Yuzhu opened it. He found that it was Xu Damao and his family, and said with a smile, "Quick, quick, Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu, come in." Xu Lide nodded and said, "Oh, Zhuzi, your cooking skills are probably better than your father's! It smells so good. We got two bottles of Xifeng wine, and we'll have a few drinks today."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Isn't it enough for you to come? There is no need for you to spend more money." Yan Fugui saw Lao Xu's family coming in, and he also stood up and walked over to chat. The group sat next to a big table, smiled and said, "In this weather, eating hot pot is the best. Come and try it. This hot pot base is fried by me."

Xu Damao looked at the side dishes on the table and said curiously, "Zhu Zi, what are these things on the table? Except for these meatballs, I don't recognize the others. Why are they in this shape? They seem to be made of glutinous rice, and why are they purple?"

Xu Lide and Yan Fugui were also very curious. He Yuzhu smiled and said, "These things are made by a friend of mine who is a chef. He is best at making hot pot. Isn't there a happy event in our family today? I bought some from him. Lai Fengling, you and Yushui can drink Beibingyang soda, and we old men will drink wine. Huairu and Auntie can have a few glasses if they can drink, it can also help to get rid of the cold in this cold winter."

The people in the room were very happy eating the meatballs cooked in the hot pot. Especially He Yuzhu dipped the meatballs in the hot pot according to the ingredients prepared in his previous life, and they tasted so delicious. Xu Damao burped and said, "Hey, Brother Zhuzi, your cooking skills are really great. This hot pot tonight is also very good, and your dipping sauce is also very well prepared. It's really very good."

Xu Lide and his wife also praised him highly. They also felt that today's hot pot was the most delicious one they had ever eaten. Xu Lide said with a smile, "You are better than your teacher. Oh, it's not bad. "I used to eat hot pot with your father a lot, but your father didn't have such good cooking skills.

Moreover, the purple glutinous rice balls and the fish balls are very well made, especially the fish balls, which are chewy. Come on, Lao Yan, Damao, let's toast to Zhuzi and thank him for inviting our two families to eat hot pot together. Yan Fuguier also nodded with a smile, and the four men raised their glasses and drank them all, laughing.

Xu Damao drank a few glasses of wine and spoke drunkenly. He burped for a long time and said, "Zhuzhu, I used to look down on you, but after getting to know you for a while, I think you, He Yuzhu, are a talent and worthy of being friends with me, Xu Damao. Come, let's have another drink."
