Siheyuan: Started in 1950, third-level cook

"And I won't touch anyone's gifts, so every penny will be used for the banquet."

Chen Jun's words immediately silenced the aunts.

They looked at each other, and all felt that this arrangement sounded strange, but they couldn't tell exactly what was strange about it.

Use their money to hold a banquet, then invite them to the banquet, and in the end you have to thank Chen Jun for inviting them to the banquet?

hiss......

The more I think about it, the more I feel that Chen Jun’s brain is very useful!

The family didn't spend a penny to give Wang Xia a grand birthday party, and everyone should remember his kindness.

But even though I feel a bit at a disadvantage, it’s better than going to the Jia family, right?

When they go to Chen's house for a banquet, they can enjoy a very sumptuous meal, and all the gift money will be spent on the food, how sumptuous can it be?

Ordinary people probably can’t even eat so many delicious foods during the Chinese New Year.

Seeing that the three aunts seemed to be hesitant to speak, Chen Jun smiled and waved his hand: "I just said that. If you agree, I will let the third uncle collect the money later. If you don't agree, forget it."

This matter was insignificant to Chen Jun. The reason why he gave this idea to the three aunts was because he had a conflict with the Jia family.

The aunts looked at each other, and finally the second aunt spoke up and said, "Your idea is a good one. I agree with it."

"I agree too. Giving the money to the Jia family would be a waste of money. It would be better for us to have a lively meal together." The third aunt also nodded.

After that, the third aunt added: "Chen Jun, you know the rules of our courtyard. Your third uncle is busy all the time, collecting money and being the accountant. Can our family follow him less?"

In the past, whenever there were weddings or funerals in the courtyard, the third uncle would be asked to be the accountant. Of course, this was not a job for nothing, as the host would usually give him a small red envelope as a fee.

"Don't worry, everything will be done according to the rules. The writing fee will be indispensable. After all, this matter depends on Third Uncle to take care of it." Chen Jun nodded with a smile.

When it comes to organizing a banquet, no one is more professional than the third uncle. You only need to tell Yan Bugui the number of people, including how many peanuts, melon seeds, and candies to buy and how many dishes and meat to prepare, and he will make a detailed list for you.

Just buy the things on the list and they will basically be enough.

Therefore, it is reasonable to give Yan Bugui a small red envelope, and other people in the hospital will not have any objection.

In theory, this money was not paid by him, and whatever was spent was the money of the people in the hospital.

He was only responsible for bearing the pressure from the Jia family and was able to hold a birthday party for his mother without spending a penny.

Others might be afraid that Jia Zhang would come and cause trouble, but Chen Jun was not worried at all.

If you dare to make trouble, I will beat you out in minutes!

This was a "team-building" activity for all the people in the hospital. Everyone contributed money and effort. Let alone Jia Zhang, even if Yi Zhonghai came to cause trouble, he would be kicked out.

The idea was finalized, and the aunts and old sisters-in-law were no longer so worried. They sat down and complained about the shamelessness of the Jia family for a while, and then went home.

Chen Jun also pushed his bicycle to the backyard.

He knew that Jia Zhangshi didn't want to be criticized, but he didn't expect her to be so unappreciative!

The family was out of money, so they tried to make money by fleecing the newly born corn stalks, and involved everyone in the hospital.

What a courage!

This operation is like playing with fire. If it goes well, you can fleece everyone in the hospital. If it goes badly, you will have to suffer from everyone in the hospital.

Tsk tsk, you are not afraid of ruining your reputation.

Alas, Jia Zhang is indeed not afraid. Her reputation is already like this, so why is she worried about it getting worse?

However, after this fundraising for the wedding banquet, people in the courtyard might follow suit. In the future, when someone gets married, they will collect gift money in advance and use this money to hold the wedding banquet. This will greatly reduce the financial pressure.

But there is also an advantage to doing this, which is that the standards for banquets will become unified in the future, and there will be no need to worry about owing money for gifts, because the standards will be the same every time, and you will spend as much as you receive, and everyone will feel more comfortable.

Around six o'clock in the afternoon, Yan Bugui, who had just got off work, came to the door in a hurry.

"Hey, hey, Chen Jun, how come you mobilized the whole hospital without saying a word, and assigned me a task without saying anything? Tell me, you..."

"Hey, I know you have an idea in mind, but we need to discuss this important matter. Forget it this time, but you have to discuss it with me next time."

Although Yan Bugui complained a little, his hands were very quick and he had already put the paper and pen on the table while he was talking.

It is obvious that the third uncle Yan Bugui has got into the state. From this moment on, he has become the accountant of the courtyard.

Chen Jun nodded with a smile, then poured a cup of jasmine tea for Yan Bugui.

The tea was brewed just a few minutes ago, and he had already expected Yan Bugui to come and visit.

"Uncle, this is not my fault. When I came back this afternoon, Aunt and the others surrounded me and forced me to come up with a solution."

"In order to prevent everyone from being cheated by the Jia family, I can only come up with this idea reluctantly. However, I'll have to ask you to take care of my mother's birthday. This is the extent of your business ability!"

After saying that, Chen Jun gave Yan Bugui a thumbs up, which made Yan Bugui feel very relieved.

It's a feeling of being recognized.

In fact, among the three uncles in charge of the courtyard, Yan Bugui is the least conspicuous one. His work is not as good as Yi Zhonghai and others, and his salary is not as high as theirs.

Even though there are only two managers now, Yan Bugui's presence has not increased much.

"Hahaha, don't worry. With Third Uncle here, he will definitely do everything beautifully and clearly for you." When saying this, Yan Bugui's eyes couldn't help but brighten up.

He had been an accountant for all these years, but he had never come across such a wealthy account.

All the gift money would be used to hold the wedding banquet. Generally, people could make some money from holding a wedding banquet, so on the way here, Yan Bugui had already started to plan how many pork elbows and chickens to put on the table the day after tomorrow.

The most important thing is that Yan Bugui was taught a lesson by Chen Jun today. How did this guy use other people's money to hold a banquet for himself?

It seems that in a few years, his eldest son Yan Jiecheng will be looking for a matchmaker to arrange a marriage. When he gets married, he will have to give a dowry and buy some new furniture. By then, money will definitely be tight.

Chen Jun's operation provided him with a new idea: collect the money first and then hold the banquet. Not only would people in the hospital not find fault with him, but they would support this method instead.

After all, doing this will make the banquet more sumptuous.

Wow, I learned something new.

Spreading the big red paper he brought with him on the table, Yan Bugui took out a brush and wrote two big words on it.

Catering list!
