But he found that the other two hiding places had more food.

There was even more cash, totaling 100 million yuan.

Converted into today's currency, it is approximately equal to 10,000 yuan.

At this time, He Yuzhu had become a real rich man.

Therefore, he planned to buy one or two more courtyard houses.

The next day,

Like the old days, He Yuzhu went to Huaxing Building to work.

At noon, Yi Zhonghai appeared in front of Huaxing Building again.

And the people accompanying him at this moment are not only him, but also two friends - Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong!

All the members of the first group of Siheyuan have arrived.

The three of them waited for the person who received the message to come and pick them up, while looking at the magnificent facade after renovation and decoration. They couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in their hearts.

He Yuzhu walked out from inside.

He Yuzhu's temperament at this time is different from before.

Seeing him coming out, Liu Haizhong was the first to greet him. "Zhu Zi... I heard that you are now the chef of Huaxing Building?" He Yuzhu nodded slightly. "Yes, that was a long time ago." "What kind of big event could bring the three of you together?" At this moment, both Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui showed a fawning look, especially Yan Bugui. Now that He Yuzhu has achieved success, their attitudes are even more respectful. Only Yi Zhonghai remained calm, neither too humble nor too arrogant. Yi Zhonghai explained, "Today is the weekend, isn't it? We were walking around and met here." "I just thought of coming to see you." In this regard, He Yuzhu admired Yi Zhonghai's smooth way of doing things; on the surface, he never revealed his actual intentions, but only said some nice words to cover up his true intentions. It's really smart. Yi Zhonghai continued, "There is another thing, remember?" "Tomorrow is Dongxu's wedding, you promised to attend before, you can't forget it." "I'll make a note of it." After saying that, He Yuzhu turned around and was about to go back. However, at this moment, Yan Bugui was not happy. Everyone knew that Yan Bugui was known for taking advantage of others, and he would not let go of even the smallest benefit. Therefore, Yan Bugui immediately said, "Hey, Yuzhu." "Don't leave in a hurry." "You are the chef here." "You are considered a figure in Huaxing Building now." "Look, the three of us came to see you specially, at least you can treat us to a cup of tea." He Yuzhu couldn't help laughing at what Yan Bugui said. This is indeed the person who likes to take advantage of others. So he just shook his head slightly. "No more." "You are late, and the remaining food has been fed to the dog. If you still want to eat, see if there is anything in the dog bowl." "It's just right to make up a table." After saying that, he left.

The remaining three people stayed where they were, their faces flushed with anger, especially Yan Bugui. After He Yuzhu walked away, Yan Bugui started to curse: "What kind of character is he, to treat us like this?!" "Isn't this saying that we are competing with dogs for food?" "Doesn't he ignore the friendship between us neighbors just because he has become famous?" "You will definitely be punished for doing this, and I don't know when I will become destitute." Yan Bugui was so angry that he spitted everywhere. Yi Zhonghai looked at Yan Bugui with disdain and said: "Shouldn't you correct your old problem of greed for small profits?" "If you didn't mention this to my face, He Yuzhu wouldn't have said those ugly angry words." "I didn't agree to bring you here in the first place, but you insisted." Yi Zhonghai left helplessly. Liu Haizhong followed him, and before leaving, he glanced at Yan Bugui with dissatisfaction and said: "Uncle Yan, your realm is still low, and you are too narrow-minded." "Now we are all implicated and scolded."

All the pressure fell on Yan Bugui! After being reprimanded by He Yuzhu, he was also criticized and disgusted by the other two. This made Yan Bugui extremely angry.

...

The next morning.

Because today is the wedding of Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu, the courtyard is particularly lively.

Whether it was the front yard, the middle yard or the back yard, tables and chairs were set up everywhere.

A stove and a big pot were temporarily set up in the backyard.

Some people were preparing dishes, while others were chatting with each other, and the whole courtyard was filled with laughter.

Many residents also came to help.

Jia Zhang was having a great time chatting with the neighbors who came and went, and her face was full of joy.

Although there is some expense in hosting a banquet, it is just a drop in the bucket compared to the gifts received.

Today is the Jia family’s money-making day, and it is also a happy event.

At present, Jia Dongxu has rented a room of similar size next to Liu Haizhong in the middle courtyard as a wedding room for the newlyweds. The rent is not high, only a small part of the monthly expenditure.

At this moment, Qin Huairu was wearing a slightly bulky red dress and sitting with her relatives and friends from her mother's family.

The house was almost filled with people.

Even Qin Jingru came to participate.

Although she was still young, Qin Jingru knew that she would eventually get married like other women.

Qin Jingru, who has been living in poverty, longs for life in the old city.

However, she did not want to marry a poor man like Jia Dongxu, or even a well-off family. She hoped to marry into a wealthy family.

At least the conditions should be better.

The more Qin Jingru thought about it, the more she looked forward to the future.

It is morning, around ten o'clock. It is time to prepare for cooking. The ingredients are ready.

Now we just have to wait for the cook to show up.

When holding a banquet in the city, an experienced chef is usually hired. This not only makes the dishes more delicious, but also makes the banquet look more solemn.

Regardless of whether this chef is famous or not, his cooking skills are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Seeing that the preparation time was running out and the cook still hadn't shown up, Jia Dongxu was extremely anxious, so he hurried to find Yi Zhonghai to ask. "Master, when will He Yuzhu arrive? He said he would come to cook today, why is he still nowhere to be seen?"

Yi Zhonghai was also very anxious, and even had a negative expectation for his friend He Yuzhu, who had been in a very unstable mood recently. "Maybe he will be here soon." "Don't worry, even if he doesn't have time to come to help, the women in the courtyard can prepare the dishes."

Yi Zhonghai tried to appease Jia Dongxu, but they knew in their hearts that this was only the worst-case scenario. Then, Yi Zhonghai took the initiative to wait for He Yuzhu's arrival at the gate of the courtyard.

However, with each passing minute, there was still no sign of He Yuzhu.

This scene made Yi Zhonghai feel very nervous.

He thought to himself, "Is this guy trying to trick us on purpose?"

The time was approaching eleven o'clock in the afternoon.

Everyone was looking forward to the delicious food.

But at this critical moment, He Yuzhu still did not show up.

Yi Zhonghai was so angry that his face turned red, "This guy."

"That's too bad."

"Why are you so unreasonable?"

His body was shaking. At this critical moment, Jia Dongxu ran over in a hurry, "Master!"

"It's time to cook! If you keep procrastinating, we'll have dinner in the afternoon."

“My mother is very worried now.”

"There are still many important steps to be taken and we cannot delay any further."

"If that person named He Yuzhu doesn't show up, forget it."

Yi Zhonghai took a deep breath, feeling extremely angry.

"Go ahead." He said in a deep voice, "Find a few people to cook."

Yi Zhonghai was in charge of everything today, but such a mistake happened, which made him very unhappy. His prestige in the hospital would also be greatly affected.

Yi Zhonghai turned and walked into the inner room.

After solving the cooking problem, Jia Zhang's mood finally calmed down. For her, what made her happy was not only that Jia Dongxu was going to get married soon, but also the money for the wedding gift.

Once she collects all the membership fees, she will be able to greatly supplement her own funds and even make a profit!

As a teacher, Yan Bugui was tasked with recording this matter. He sat behind a small eight-person table in the front yard and wrote down the name of each person who received a share of money.

At this time, He Yuzhu was walking into the gate of the courtyard.

Yi Zhonghai saw him and immediately went forward to greet him. "Zhu Zi, you are finally here."

"Everyone is waiting for you to take charge."

"What time is it?"

As He Yuzhu appeared and Yi Zhonghai ran forward, Jia Zhangshi on the side also noticed this scene, and she moved slightly closer to He Yuzhu.

After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, He Yuzhu pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Chief chef? What chief chef?"

Yi Zhonghai was so anxious at the moment: "Hasn't this been decided a long time ago? You will be the chef."

He Yuzhu then pretended to be enlightened:

"Oh! That's it."

"But I'm afraid that's impossible."

"When I agreed to help you, I was just an apprentice. Of course, no one would say anything if I went to help you then."

"But now I am the head chef of Huaxinglou."

"As a chef, you are not allowed to take private jobs."

“This is also the industry rule.”

"So, I'm afraid it's impossible."

After these words, Jia Zhangshi and Yi Zhonghai felt extremely annoyed and almost rushed over to slap He Yuzhu.

But we have to admit that what He Yuzhu said makes sense.

Yi Zhonghai's eyes were filled with anger. "Why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have counted on you."

"It's almost twelve o'clock."

"If we keep dragging it out like this, the wedding lunch will definitely have to be postponed until the afternoon."

"After all, the bride and groom still have to follow the auspicious time procedures at the wedding."

"It's all because of this incident that disrupted the subsequent arrangements."

In response to Yi Zhonghai's words, He Yuzhu looked innocent: "I'm sorry."

"In that case, I'll drink three cups as punishment later."

Seeing He Yuzhu's attitude, Jia Zhang was almost furious. What was originally a major event became as trivial as a child's game in his mouth.

Even though they were furious and trembling all over, neither Yi Zhonghai nor Jia Zhang dared to actually attack He Yuzhu; in the past, they could only use violence or verbal abuse.

But now, they no longer dare to offend this person whom they can no longer reach.

Not only does the Military Control Commission support him behind the scenes, he is now also the head chef of Huaxinglou, and the entire Huaxinglou has his backing.

With such a background, who can afford to offend?

At this moment, Xu Damao was also nearby. He felt particularly relieved when he saw what He Yuzhu did.

This He Yuzhu is really different. He is no longer the honest and obedient coward in the past. Now he has become so shrewd and cunning!
