Golden Color Xiangjiang: A Young Man's Dream in a Siheyuan

Chapter 19: It’s all the fault of the braised pork

After Zhou Jin left the steel rolling mill, he rode his bicycle to the supply and marketing cooperative. Although there were a lot of things in his space, they were all staple foods, so he still had to go to the supply and marketing cooperative for many things.

Zhou Jin bought some vegetables such as cabbage and potatoes, as well as ingredients such as onions, ginger, and garlic. He also bought 20 kilograms of corn flour. Of course, Zhou Jin did not intend to eat the corn flour, he just used it for cover-up.

On the way home, Zhou Jin found a deserted place, took out five kilograms of pork, twenty kilograms of rice and ten kilograms of flour from the space, and tied them together on the bicycle.

There is no way. The people in this courtyard are the ones who hate you for what you have, laugh at you for nothing, despise you for being poor, and fear you for being rich. If you are not careful, you might be reported by this group of people.

Although Zhou Jin was not worried about this, going to the police station would still waste his time, and other rumors might even spread.

When passing by the Central Courtyard, I happened to meet Jia Zhang who was strolling home. Her triangular eyes were staring at the meat and food on the bicycle, and she kept swallowing her saliva. The traditional skills were at her fingertips, and she wanted to use them at any time.

Unfortunately, Zhou Jin had been beaten before by Jia Zhang and had to pay compensation, so this time Jia Zhang did not dare to do anything excessive. He only dared to mutter and curse Zhou Jin in a low voice.

Today was Zhou Jin's first day of cooking in her new home, and she didn't want to be disgusted by this old thing. Seeing that she didn't dare to cause trouble, she felt much better. It seemed that she had to do more to beat her into submission so that she wouldn't dare to show her teeth anymore.

After Zhou Jin returned home, he put the rice, flour and cornmeal into jars respectively, and then packed up the other things.

Then she went to the kitchen and started cooking. With the help of advanced cooking skills, Zhou Jin felt like she had fallen in love with cooking. She wielded the kitchen knife very smoothly and the spatula danced up and down in the pot.

An hour later, three delicious dishes, braised pork, spicy and sour potato shreds, and spicy stir-fried cabbage, were placed on the table.

Zhou Jin took off her apron and went out to call He Yushui to come for dinner. She had not been in the courtyard all day and did not know whether the girl had any food to eat.

What Zhou Jin didn't expect was that when he went to call He Yushui to eat, the courtyard became lively because of his braised pork.

At the Jia family, Jia Zhang lost her appetite when she saw the steamed buns, fried cabbage and pickles on the table, and then she started cursing Zhou Jin.

"This little bastard who brought his parents to their deaths eats meat, but he doesn't even think of bringing a bowl to our house. He has no conscience, no manners, and isn't he afraid of being stuffed to death."

Bang Geng smelled the meat and started to cry out, "I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat, mom, I want to eat meat, grandma, I want to eat meat."

"Good boy, eat first. Mom will buy you some meat tomorrow."

"No, I want meat now, I want meat."

Jia Zhang said, "Qin Huairu, didn't you see Banggeng wanted to eat meat? Why don't you go to Zhou Jin's house and bring the meat over?"

"Mom, our family is not familiar with his family, and we had a conflict a few days ago. How could he give us meat?"

"I don't care. Bang Geng wants to eat meat, so you, as his mother, have to get it. I'll give you this bowl."

After saying that, he handed Qin Huairu a large bowl.

While Qin Huairu was hesitating, Jia Dongxu also urged her.

"Hurry up and go, do you want to starve Bang Geng to death?"

At this time, Qin Huairu could only walk to the backyard reluctantly with her big belly and the bowl in her hand.

In the backyard of the deaf old lady's house, Yi Zhonghai had just brought dinner to the old lady when he smelled the aroma of meat. The deaf old lady asked Yi Zhonghai directly.

"Xiao Yi, go see if Zhuzi is roasting meat. It smells so good. The old lady hasn't eaten meat for a long time. Go and bring her a bowl."

"Okay, old lady, don't worry. If Zhuzi is really cooking meat, he will definitely bring you a bowl. I'll go to Zhuzi's house and ask him to do it."

After saying this, Yi Zhonghai went out to the middle courtyard, came to Sha Zhu's house, opened the door and went in.

"Zhu Zi, the old lady is craving for meat. When you have cooked, bring a bowl to her."

But before Yi Zhonghai could finish his words, he saw Sha Zhu eating peanuts and muttering something.

"Zhu Zi, you didn't cook?"

"No, you've been bringing me meals these past few days. My injury hasn't fully healed yet, so I don't dare to cook."

Yi Zhonghai finally reacted and slapped his forehead. He thought to himself, "Yes, Zhuzi has only been discharged from the hospital for a few days. Now his family sends him meals. How could he possibly make braised pork?"

"Zhu Zi, who made this meat? It smells so good. Besides you, is there anyone else in our hospital who can make it?"

"Uncle, I smell this smell coming from the backyard."

"Backyard? There are only a few people in the backyard besides the old lady. Could it be Zhou Jin?"

"It should be. The other companies don't have this skill."

"Okay then. I'll go back to the old lady first. Your aunt will bring the food over later."

The deaf old lady stared at the bowl of cornmeal porridge and fried cabbage. She couldn't eat after smelling the braised pork. At this time, Yi Zhonghai pushed the door in.

"Madam, the braised pork was not made by Zhuzi, it should be made by Zhou Jin."

"No matter who cooked the meat, they have to bring a bowl to me, the ancestor. Xiao Yi, go to Zhou Jin's house now and ask him to bring me a bowl of meat as a token of his filial respect."

After hearing the deaf old lady's instructions, Yi Zhonghai had to go out again and walk towards Zhou Jin's house nearby.

As a result, as soon as she arrived at Zhou Jin's door, Qin Huairu came with a large bowl. Yi Zhonghai knew at a glance that she was also here to ask for meat. However, the bowl she gave was a bit too much. She wanted to take the pot as well.

Qin Huairu saw Yi Zhonghai staring at her bowl and explained embarrassedly.

"Uncle, there are many people in my family, and Banggeng needs nutrition right now, so my mother-in-law gave me this bowl."

Yi Zhonghai didn't think much about it. He knew what kind of person Jia Zhang was, so he waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to say more, as he knew it all.

Then he walked straight forward, ready to push open the door of Zhou Jin's house and go in directly, but found that the door was locked from the inside and could not be pushed open at all. He could only knock on the door and call Zhou Jin.

Zhou Jin and He Yushui had just sat down and hadn't even taken two bites when they heard Yi Zhonghai calling them from outside. He knew that he must be here to ask for meat, and he immediately felt very unhappy.

It seems that this group of people still haven't learned their lesson. This time, I will use you, Yi Zhonghai, as a warning to the monkeys. Zhou Jin stood up and told He Yushui not to worry about it and to eat in peace.

Then Zhou Jin walked to the door and opened it, but did not move aside to let them in. Instead, he stood blocking the door.

"Yi Zhonghai, you are so old now. Didn't your parents teach you not to visit others when they are having dinner? You are really uneducated."

Yi Zhonghai never expected that one day he would be called uncultured by a 20-year-old boy. But the most frustrating thing was that it seemed like he was really uncultured by doing this.

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai was like a gas tank filled with air, which could explode at any time, but Yi Zhonghai didn't dare to explode in front of Zhou Jin. During this period of time, Yi Zhonghai also realized that Zhou Jin was different from the people he had met before.

He does things without any scruples. As long as he is reasonable, he dares to take action no matter who it is. Moreover, he has a strong background, so if there is no definite evidence, nothing can be done to him.

However, if Yi Zhonghai didn't release the anger in his heart, he would probably suffer internal injuries. So Yi Zhonghai immediately thought about it in his mind and suddenly thought of a breakthrough point.

"Zhou Jin, since you are young and outspoken, I will not bother with you this time. But tell me, who allowed you to lock the door?"

Yes, the breakthrough point that Yi Zhonghai thought of was that Zhou Jin locked the door. You know, under his leadership, this courtyard house has been improving year by year, relying on not locking the door, giving the street office a perfect image of a place where no one picks up things on the road and no one locks the door.

Since you, Zhou Jin, dare to break this rule, I must seize this opportunity to punish him most severely! Let him know what the price of breaking the rules is!

"Yi Zhonghai, are you an idiot? It's none of your business if I lock my own door. What? Do you live by the sea?"

Yi Zhonghai didn't know what Zhou Jin meant by this, but he was definitely scolding him. It was definitely not a good thing.

"You are simply hopeless. Didn't your parents teach you to respect the elderly and love the young? I am older than your father, but you dare to scold me again and again. You are really uneducated and unworthy of a son."

"Yi Zhonghai, are you mentally ill or have you been kicked by a donkey? Don't use your twisted logic to talk to me. I have said it many times that in my eyes, you are just an ordinary neighbor.

You still want to be my elder? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? It's a joke that a person like you who is a dead end is qualified to be an elder.

By the way, do you have something to say? If you do, just say it. If not, just get out of here. You won’t let me have a quiet meal in the middle of the night. You are such a beast.”

Zhou Jin's explosive attack directly beat Yi Zhonghai without any chance to fight back. At this time, Yi Zhonghai was so angry that it seemed as if a colorful plate of all colors was poured on his face.

But who is Yi Zhonghai? He is the second most important person in the Siheyuan Courtyard after the deaf old lady. He is the Lord of Morality and a man of forbearance. He forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart.

Although his face still looked ugly, it was much better. He couldn't talk about this with Zhou Jin anymore, otherwise he would not only fail to get his job done, but also be scolded by Zhou Jin for nothing.

The key point is that there are already a lot of people surrounding us, and we must bring the topic back to ourselves.

"Okay, I won't talk to you about anything else. I just want to ask you, why did you lock the door? Don't you know the fine tradition of our courtyard house? Don't you lock or bolt the door?

We are all neighbors and should trust each other. What you are doing is destroying the unity of our Siheyuan and breaking the fine traditions of the Siheyuan. If you don’t give me a reasonable explanation, I will immediately convene a meeting of the whole courtyard to criticize you. "

"Yi Zhonghai, how come I didn't know when our Siheyuan had this fine tradition? I remember I've only been away from Siheyuan for five years, how come there's suddenly a fine tradition.

Hahaha, five years can be considered an excellent tradition. You must be joking. You didn’t come up with this, did you? "

After Zhou Jin finished speaking, he looked at Yi Zhonghai coldly. He Yushui in the room also put down his chopsticks and looked at Zhou Jin nervously. The tall figure blocking the door was like a hero.

Yi Zhonghai also reacted at this time. When Zhou Jin left the courtyard, they had not yet become the manager, so naturally they didn't know what happened later.

"Zhou Jin, you left the courtyard at that time, so you may not know that in order to select the advanced courtyards, the three of us uncles discussed and finally decided that all the houses in the courtyards cannot lock their doors.

It is precisely because of this rule that our courtyard is recognized as an advanced courtyard by the street office every year. If you didn’t know it before, I won’t say more. Now that you know it, you must remember it in the future and never lock the door. "

"Yi Zhonghai, you are really good. You can come up with such a dirty trick just to show off in the street office. But it has nothing to do with me. If you want me to unlock the door, that's fine. You just need to sign a guarantee that if my house is robbed in the future, you will pay compensation according to the price."

"You're dreaming. Your house was robbed, why should I pay for it?"

"You are the one who made this rule. Since you don't allow me to lock the door, if my house is robbed, who should I go to if not you?"

"you you you"

Yi Zhonghai thought for a long time but couldn't figure out how to break Zhou Jin's trick.

"What do you mean by you? Do you want to sign this letter of guarantee? If not, get out of here. Stop pretending to be a leader. You're disgusting."

The crowd watching saw Yi Zhonghai once again being embarrassed by Zhou Jin, and they also began to have new ideas about the rule of not locking the door. Everyone felt that Zhou Jin was right.

Since you didn't allow us to lock the door, if the house gets robbed, we will definitely have to find you, the person who made the rules.
