Siheyuan: What to do if there is no system

The third uncle felt embarrassed when he saw everyone pointing fingers at him. He saw the big grass carp that Xu Damao carried and said quickly, "Da Mao, are you going to treat us tonight? You brought so many dishes, and this big grass carp must weigh six kilograms."

Damao is not so cunning now. When Yan Fugui said this, he immediately said proudly, "Hey, Third Uncle, my dad will treat Shazhu and Second Uncle tonight."

After saying that, Xu Damao deliberately shook the fish in front of the third uncle a few times, which made the third uncle unhappy. The third uncle knew that this was a rejection of him. He knew that he couldn't take advantage of him this time, and he knew that he didn't have the face to approach him, but he felt even more uncomfortable when he thought about these people eating the dishes and fish made by Sha Zhu in the evening. Seeing that there were two yellow croakers, the third uncle became even more upset, and his eyes were straight.

After looking at it for a while, the third uncle said unconsciously: "Oh, there are such big yellow croakers. This thing can be stewed into soup to make a tonic." The third uncle swallowed his saliva as he thought about it.

Seeing that Third Uncle had taken the bait, Xu Damao said with a smile, "That's nothing. There's also that chicken, silly chicken stewed with mushrooms. Third Uncle, have you tried it? It's a real delicacy. But, Third Uncle, you won't have a good time today, hahahaha!"

At this time, Jia Zhang spoke up: "Da Mao, Third Master can't go, how about asking me to go? I, your aunt, have a sore leg lately and need to take some supplements."

When the people around heard this, they burst into laughter. Jia Dongxu felt embarrassed, and even Yi Zhonghai shook his head.

"Go, go, what do you have to do with it..." Jia Zhang roared

Jia Dongxu couldn't bear it any longer, so he pulled Jia Zhang and said, "Mom, Huairu is not feeling well, let's go home."

"What do you mean you are not feeling well? Why are you not feeling well? You are just a useless thing, a country girl. It's okay if you are not feeling well. You will lose a piece of meat." Jia Zhang, who was dragged away, continued to roar.

Jing Hao: "Everyone, stop making trouble. I'm just getting rid of these. The vases are 6 cents each, and these two cabinets are yuan each. No bargaining, take them if you want."

Auntie: "It's so expensive, it's too expensive, they are all from the same compound."

The crowd began to agree, and some people came forward to check. Soon all the cabinets were snatched up. Uncle Zhang in the front yard and Uncle Wang in the back yard each wanted one. Those who didn't get one began to regret it. Such a big cabinet, a new one costs seven or eight yuan. Although it is a bit old, it is still a good deal at two yuan. Several vases, three newer ones were also snatched up by several families, and three ugly ones were sold at 4 cents each. Uncle San thought no one wanted them, and now he didn't get one, he sighed with regret. He raised so many flowers just to sell them and give them to others, and he could sell a vase for two yuan more. Uncle Zhao in the front yard said that the remaining old wood could be made into six or seven small stools. Jinghao discussed with Uncle Zhao and gave Jinghao four of the small stools he had made, and the rest of the stools and loose wood belonged to Uncle Zhao.

The crowd dispersed quickly. With the 6 yuan, 5 cents and 4 cents he had sold before, he now sold it for 7 yuan, a total of 13 yuan, 5 cents and 4 cents, and he was still two cents away from making back his investment. Jing Hao roughly calculated that he could make more than 12 yuan by selling the Yuan Datou, the books he could read, the exquisite small cabinets and the small vases. I have been working for more than half a year before I came across this good thing, but it is too tiring and I stink, so it is not easy to do. When I have money, I will rent a place and I won’t have to be the boss. As for the workers, I think Guangtian and Guangfu are more suitable. Guangtian is 10 years old this year and Guangfu is 1955 years old. I have to endure it. After three or four years, I will be free, hehe! (Some people ask why people don’t get a formal job in this era. Look at the years we were in. Without skills and connections, you can’t do whatever you want. Around August 8, in order to ease the employment pressure in cities, some educated youth took the initiative to go to the countryside or reclaim wasteland in border areas. Don’t look down on scrap collection stations during this period. At least they were a way out.)

After Jinghao washed up, he went to He Yuzhu's house and found that everyone was already there. The second aunt had just finished her work and went back with some dishes and half a grass carp.

Xu Fugui asked He Yuzhu, "Zhuzi, start the whole thing."

He Yuzhu washed his hands and sat down. They clinked glasses and started eating. Xu Damao's sister Xu Yanling and He Yushui ate on the side. Xu Damao's mother was still working at Lou Bancheng's house and usually didn't come back, but she kept He Yushui company. At this time, the third uncle was walking back and forth in front of He Yuzhu's house, holding a bottle of wine in his hand. He weighed his perseverance and knocked on the door. The people in the house probably knew that the third uncle was coming. Generally, the person knocking on the door would shout, knowing that the third uncle was here to eat again.

This time it was Xu Damao who opened the door. When he saw the Third Uncle, he said directly, "Third Uncle, what brings you here? No one invited you today."

The third uncle stood at the door, looking at the food on the table. Wow, chicken stewed with mushrooms, yellow croaker soup, braised pork, stewed grass carp. There are also a few side dishes, fried potatoes, cabbage stewed with vermicelli, fried spinach, peanuts, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes. No wonder I smelled the fragrance at home. I couldn't help it, so I came over with a licking face, thinking that it would be better if I could get a seat at the table. This is not the third uncle's fault. Jia Zhang from next door cursed several times at the door and was glared back by Jia Dongxu. Although Jia Dongxu was kind, he couldn't stand the noise and frowned before closing the door. Qin Huairu was also uncomfortable. It didn't matter if she couldn't eat. The key point was that she didn't understand why these people didn't invite their own men to eat together, and she was used as a punching bag by Jia Zhang, who either cursed or said sarcastic words. The deaf old lady in the backyard also wanted to come, but was persuaded by Yi Zhonghai to go back. The only thing was that Sha Zhu was not familiar with us. Yi Zhonghai was even more angry. Why didn't they invite him to every dinner party? He was the boss in the yard. Until now, Yi Zhonghai couldn't figure it out. Anyway, he would definitely teach these people a lesson when he had the chance in the future.

In other words, when the third uncle saw such a sumptuous table of dishes, he was not calm and wanted to serve them right away. At the same time, the third uncle swore in his heart that he had never eaten like this in his life and was anxious.

At this time, Zhuzi was also blocking the door, but Xu Damao said first: "Uncle, I'm asking you that. Don't just stand there. If you don't have anything to do, go back first and don't delay everyone's meal."

He Yuzhu continued, "Third Uncle, it's not that I don't give you face, you still owe me two tables of food, don't use your watered-down wine to fool everyone, you should go back."

The third uncle was anxious, and quickly shouted to the second uncle: "Second uncle, please say something, and Uncle Xu."

Xu Fugui is a shrewd man, not a good person either, and he has long held a grudge against the Third Uncle. It was because every time he showed something from the countryside or brought it back from the villagers, the Third Uncle would take advantage of it. If he didn't give it to him, he would spread the word in the courtyard that Xu Fugui was greedy for the villagers' things. Afraid that the Second Uncle would give in, he spoke first: "Third Uncle, I'm not saying this as your brother, but these dishes on the table were bought with real money. You can sit down, but you have to reimburse us for the dishes on the table today."
