Siheyuan: Started in 1950, third-level cook

"Why don't you let our family participate?" Jia Zhang jumped three feet high and started arguing with Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haizhong was speechless.

You want to participate in the event without paying, how can you be so shameless?

Looking at Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu, they both looked as if nothing had happened and didn't seem to feel embarrassed at all.

"Why should you be allowed to participate if you don't pay?"

"If you don't pay the money, you are no longer a member of the courtyard? Liu Haizhong, you damn bastard, do you still have any shame?" Jia Zhang's saliva sprayed all over Liu Haizhong's face.

Liu Haizhong wiped his face in disgust and became angry immediately.

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Yi Zhonghai walked out with a headache.

"Stop arguing, stop arguing, I'll pay for it!"

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhang reluctantly nodded.

But he cursed Yi Zhonghai in his heart. As a master, you should have taken out one dollar and fifty cents long ago. Why are you so hesitant?

After collecting all the money, the last academy meeting of the year came to an end.

The residents in the courtyard also went home and began to prepare today's New Year's Eve dinner.

This meal is arguably the most important and sumptuous meal of the year.

Chen Jun put on an apron after returning home. Soon, the sound of tinkling was heard in the kitchen.

Hearing the noise coming from the Chen family, everyone in the courtyard was very envious.

The fact that the clanging sounds lasted for so long meant that a lot of dishes were prepared. The Chen family usually eats well, so how sumptuous must the New Year’s Eve dinner be?

The situation was pretty much as they had guessed; the Chen family's New Year's Eve dinner was indeed very sumptuous.

What about stir-fried pork intestines, twice-cooked pork, mapo tofu, braised pork, mouth-watering chicken, steamed spareribs, beef stewed with potatoes, hot and sour soup...

Actually, we could have made more dishes, but there are only three people in their family, and if we made too much, we would have to eat leftovers for the next two days.

Of course, in addition to these dishes, Chen Jun also prepared a lot of snacks, such as milk candy, soda, and fried food made yesterday.

It was so full that the square table for dining could barely hold all the food.

Everyone who passed by Chen's house drooled with envy.

The most envious family among them is the Jia family.

The Jia family has lost a lot of money recently and they didn't even prepare the New Year's Eve dinner. When she smelled the fragrance coming from the backyard, Jia Zhang couldn't help but go to the backyard to take a look.

After watching it, I went home and cursed for more than ten minutes.

"That damn Chen Jun cooked a huge table of food, but he used all our money!"

Jia Zhang had previously compensated Chen Jun with twenty yuan, as she believed that those dishes were bought with their family’s money.

When she thought about how her family was so poor that they couldn't even prepare a decent New Year's Eve dinner, while the Chen family could eat so well, Jia Zhang was so angry that she was about to spiral to the sky.

"Mom, are we going to have stewed cabbage tonight?" Jia Dongxu was already feeling a little depressed after smelling the fragrance in the yard.

It’s okay to eat cabbage and potatoes on ordinary days, but we also eat cabbage for the New Year’s Eve dinner!

"If you don't want to eat, get out of here, you spendthrift. Why are you buying clothes for no reason? Wouldn't it be better to buy a few pounds of meat?" Jia Zhang said unhappily, "Find a way to pay back the money you borrowed. I won't help you."

After teaching this prodigal son a lesson, Jia Zhang angrily opened the door and took a look towards Yi Zhonghai's house.

If nothing unexpected happens, Yi Zhonghai, the aunt and the deaf old lady will go to Sha Zhu's house to have the New Year's Eve dinner like last year.

Sha Zhu is a chef after all, so he naturally has some skills, and Yi Zhonghai is rich, so he will definitely be willing to buy things.

I looked back at the stewed cabbage on the table, and an idea suddenly came to my mind.

Yup!

Why do we have to stay at home? Can't we follow Yi Zhonghai's example and go to Sha Zhu's house for dinner?

Although the relationship between herself and Sha Zhu is a bit awkward, Jia Zhang is not afraid of embarrassment!

As long as you are not embarrassed, the one who is embarrassed is the fool.

Thinking of this, Jia Zhang expressed her thoughts.

When Jia Dongxu heard this, he was so excited that he almost slapped his thigh.

This method is feasible. Yi Zhonghai is his master. His master bought the meat. As his apprentice, can't he get a free meal?

Not only do you have to eat for free, you also have to bring a lunch box with you. After eating, you have to pack up the leftovers and eat them again tomorrow!

Qin Huairu was also very excited after hearing this. The food at the Jia family had been so bad recently that she felt like she was a little malnourished these days.

It’s New Year’s Day after all, but Jia Zhangshi is reluctant to buy even a piece of meat. Is this acceptable?

Even in the countryside, people have to buy some pork and kill two chickens for the New Year.

It's a good opportunity to go to Sha Zhu's house for a big meal and talk to Sha Zhu at the same time. Maybe I can get Sha Zhu to resume the supply of lunch boxes.

Moreover, Yi Zhonghai is rich, so the things he buys must be good. Even if he is not as good as the Chen family, he can still rank second in the Siheyuan.

So the three of them had a brief discussion and sent Qin Huairu to find Sha Zhu.

Seeing Qin Huairu's sudden visit, Sha Zhu seemed a little at a loss.

Sha Zhu has been feeling complicated these days. On the one hand, he wants to get close to Qin Huairu, but on the other hand, he feels embarrassed.

After all, he and Jia Zhang had an affair that was too painful to recall.

But who is Qin Huairu? Just a few words from her made Sha Zhu feel so comfortable, and he immediately agreed to the Jia family's request to celebrate the New Year together.

Qin Huairu was very happy and went home happily to report the good news.

The deaf old lady who witnessed the whole process looked very unhappy.

The deaf old lady doesn't like the Jia family, especially Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu treated Sha Zhu like a dog. Not only did she suck his blood, but she also affected Sha Zhu's search for a wife. That's why the deaf old lady didn't like Qin Huairu.

Not to mention Jia Zhang, she is the most disgusting person in the whole hospital, and she wanted to marry Sha Zhu a while ago. She is so shameless.

However, today is New Year's Eve, and before the deaf old lady had a chance to dissuade him, Sha Zhu agreed.

In order to have a peaceful New Year's Eve dinner, the deaf old lady had to suppress her dissatisfaction.

When Yi Zhonghai learned about this, he was quite willing to have Qin Huairu and the others come together for the New Year's Eve dinner.

The incident of Jia Zhang was over, and he was no longer worried that Sha Zhu would become confused.

If he could let Sha Zhu continue to support the Jia family in the future, he would feel less pressure.

It would be better if Jia Zhang didn't come.

On the other side, Jia Dongxu was overjoyed when he heard the good news.

Finally I can have a good meal!

So he ran out proudly, strolled from the front yard to the back yard, and took a look at the New Year's Eve dinner of everyone in the yard.

Hey, it’s not as rich as the one at Shazhu’s house.

But when Jia Dongxu strolled to Chen's house, he felt a little uncomfortable.

The table was full of delicious food, not only dishes, but also snacks and soda.

Tsk tsk, soda, I haven’t had it for almost half a year, I’ve even forgotten what it tastes like.

The more Jia Dongxu looked at it, the more unbalanced he felt.

Why does Chen Jun eat so well?

There are only three people in their family, but they cook more dishes than Sha Zhu's family. It's damn annoying.

"Oh, what's the point of cooking more dishes!" Jia Dongxu said sourly, "It's not as lively as ours. We four families get together to celebrate the New Year. Eight people use two tables and can play cards after dinner."

"It's much better than someone else's."
