The Boss of the Yan Family in Siheyuan

Chapter 220 Treating guests to dinner

The third aunt was a little surprised to see Yan Bugui coming back dejected. "What? The boss didn't agree?"

"Don't mention it, I raised him like this for nothing, and he didn't even have to pay for a TV." Yan Bugui said angrily. She had already planned it, but something went wrong with the boss.

This was something he didn't expect.

"If the boss doesn't pay for it, why should our family buy a TV?"

The third aunt was a little hesitant. After all, this was not a small amount of money. Besides, the family had just given money to Xie Dian to find a job, and they were not rich either.

"Buy. No, let's buy it in partnership with Wu Juan. Anyway, we can't let them see the joke." Yan Bugui said through gritted teeth.

After saying that, Yan Bugui went out to discuss it with Wu Juan. He originally wanted to ask Yan Jiecheng to pay a penny so that the two of them could spend less. However, Yan Jiecheng didn't fall for the trick. Wu Juan saw that there was no advantage to be taken, so immediately

Quit.

Yan Bugui had no choice but to compromise and agreed to buy a TV set for Wu Juan and the others to watch for twenty days a month and for him to watch for ten days. The family would pay half of the money, so Wu Juan agreed.

Yan Bugui promised to invite the people in the courtyard to dinner but never did so, and was often criticized by everyone for this matter.

This time I took advantage of the opportunity to buy a TV and invited him together. Anyway, he was not the only one to be invited. Xu Damao, the first uncle and the second uncle were also with him. After thinking about it, four meals for ten yuan was not too bad.

Anyway, their family has four grandchildren, not counting sons, daughters-in-law, and daughters. How can they count their family? If they can’t let each of the three children give him three yuan, then he doesn’t have to pay.

.

So on the weekend, Yan Bugui went door to door and informed everyone to have dinner in the front yard tomorrow night.

Early the next morning, I went to a place by the river where I often fish, and spent four yuan to buy a large bucket of small fish and shrimps.

In the afternoon, I asked the third aunt to go to the vegetable market and buy dozens of kilograms of leftover vegetable leaves and five kilograms of bulk wine. I didn't use up the five yuan I brought with me, and saved a few cents.

After coming back, Yan Bugui went straight to the middle courtyard and wanted to ask Sha Zhu to come over and cook the spoons, but Sha Zhu opened his mouth and asked him for a dollar for the craftsmanship fee. He also said that it was for the sake of everyone being neighbors, otherwise it would cost him just one dollar to come.

Not coming.

Yan Bugui thought for a while, it only cost me more than eight yuan to entertain the guests by riding a horse, and you asked me for a piece of it as soon as you opened your mouth. Wouldn't this horse riding cost my life? So he ignored Silly Zhu and turned around and walked back.

They called Yu Li and Wu Juan over and asked the third aunt to take charge and let the daughter-in-law do the work.

Originally, Yu Li among them was the best at cooking, but Yan Bugui disliked her for wasting cooking oil.

Yu Li came over and was speechless when she saw the vegetables bought by the third aunt. Their family paid three yuan, so they just gave them this.

Originally, last time Yan Bugui bought a TV, Yan Jiecheng didn't agree to pay for it. This time, Yan Bugui wanted to treat a guest and asked each family to pay three yuan. Yu Li thought about making peace with him, so she took three yuan directly without asking Yan Jiecheng.

The bucks come out.

Unexpectedly, she still underestimated this old father-in-law, maybe he didn't contribute anything. But after all, she, a junior, couldn't say anything.

Yan Bugui looked at his two daughters-in-law with somewhat surprised expressions and didn't care. Anyway, getting things done with minimal or no money was the purpose of his life.

Not only did he not spend any money this time, he also made a few cents. As for being looked down upon by others, he was thick-skinned anyway, so he just pretended not to be seen.

Yan Bugui looked at his busy wife and daughter-in-law, turned around and informed everyone to bring their own dry food for dinner in the evening. He also asked the first and second uncles to bring over the tables and benches from home, plus the difference between the houses in the front yard.

That's enough.

Everyone didn't think much about it. They all knew that food was rationed now, and no one could give out so much food at once for a treat.

But when they came over and sat on the table, they realized that the third uncle was indeed the third uncle.

There were a lot of vegetables, one after another, and there was a big pot of stewed fish in the middle.

But why are the leaves of this vegetable all yellow? This fish, this horse is a fish. The small one can't even reach it between the teeth. Moreover, this vegetable has no other taste except salty.

Silly Zhu took a bite and spat it out. He pointed at the food on the table and shouted to Yan Bugui: "Third uncle, who made this!"

"It's okay to eat some of them, you don't care who made them." Yan Bugui glanced at Silhu with dissatisfaction. Their family bought this dish with money. You don't like to eat it, but you can't throw it up. It's not a waste.

Well.

"No, I just want to know which master made this. This craftsmanship is amazing. When our factory makes Yiku rice in the future, I have to ask him for advice."

What Silly Zhu said made Yan Bugui feel a little embarrassed. He also knew about Yiku Rice. Their school also did this. It was not for human consumption. Good big steamed buns had to be mixed with sand, and they had to be put in the vegetables.

earth.

Silly Zhu saw that Yan Bugui didn't say anything and wanted to give him a few words, but was stopped by the uncle on the side. For someone like Yan Bugui, it would be great if he could invite people from the courtyard to dinner. How can you expect him to do so well?

, at least the wine is still okay and you can drink it. Their table also has a plate of peanuts, and the treatment is better than other tables.

"Master, it's not me who said that these three masters are so bad. They even came to me just now and asked me to cook for him. That's it. No matter how much money he gives me, I can't come." Silly Zhu pointed out.

He said mockingly while looking at the vegetable leaves in the basin.

"Okay, if you don't like eating, then drink. Don't find anything to talk about."

The uncle saw that Yan Bugui's face was not very good, so he pulled Si Zhu down and whispered to him. Didn't you see that everyone was busy eating? What kind of day is it now?

It's hard to eat when you have memories of hardships. The old man can't do anything about Silly Zhu. He doesn't know how to change his words and offends people everywhere.

Due to Yu Li's advance reminder, Yan Jiecheng did not let the two children come over. He scrambled a plate of eggs for them to eat at home and kept the boy Qing.

He only drank wine and ate peanuts here, and didn't touch any other dishes.

Wu Juan frowned and hugged Xiao Ziming, and couldn't help but bleed. Their family was deceived by Yan Bugui into paying three yuan. If she had known she would have eaten this, she wouldn't have paid a penny.

In fact, this dish is quite good, but Yan Bugui couldn't bear to use oil and it was not cooked well. He didn't even have any seasonings and put some salt in it. This would only be delicious if it tasted good.

In the next few days after eating this meal, Xu Damao, the first uncle and the second uncle invited people in the compound to eat for three days.

Sha Zhu helped to cook everything, and Sha Zhu bought the food himself. They just had to pay for it. After all, they were not as thick-skinned as Yan Bugui and were not afraid of the neighbors gossiping.

Yan Bugui didn't care about this, as he happened to be able to get his money back.
