He Yuzhu nodded: "Fried bean sprouts, vermicelli and meat at noon."
"Are the workers in the steel rolling mill so happy?" Lou Xiao'e said with some envy.
Being able to eat He Yuzhu's cooking every day is something Lou Xiao'e looks forward to very much.
happiness?
He Yuzhu glanced at Lou Xiao'e with complicated eyes, smiled and said nothing.
It must be Lou Xiao'e, a wealthy lady, who doesn't understand how tired the workers are.
I thought that being able to eat a big pot of food every day would be a happy thing.
Seeing that He Yuzhu didn't answer, Lou Xiao'e didn't care and said jokingly: "Master He, can I come to work in your cafeteria?"
"I can wash the vegetables and sweep the floor."
He Yuzhu knew she was joking and pointed in the direction of the canteen director's office: "You go find Director Song. As long as he agrees, I have no objection."
The two of them were chatting like this.
It wasn't until Director Yang came to find her that Lou Xiao'e was reluctant to leave the kitchen.
After Lou Xiao'e left, there was nothing to do in the kitchen, and He Yuzhu was free until get off work.
Return to the courtyard.
He Yuzhu found that many women gathered in the front yard, which was very lively.
what's the situation?
Is today the Siheyuan Women’s Conference?
"Third aunt, what are you talking about so lively?" He Yuzhu greeted the third aunt with a smile.
"Hey, He Yuzhu, Jia Dongxu will hold a banquet tomorrow, will you follow the rules?"
When the third aunt saw He Yuzhu coming back, she quickly waved her hand and motioned for him to join the group chat.
Is Jia Dongxu hosting a banquet?
Yo!
This topic is interesting.
He Yuzhu was not in a hurry to go home. He parked his bicycle on the spot, grabbed a horse and sat down.
The third aunt acted as the narrator and recounted the topics of their chat.
It turned out that Jia Dongxu was arguing with Feng Hong today and wanted to hold a banquet tomorrow.
Today, Mrs. Jia Zhang notified the whole hospital and invited everyone to have a banquet.
"There are dozens of households in our hospital, with a population of more than 80. Does the Jia family have such great ability to arrange it?"
He Yuzhu was stunned when he heard this: "All invited?"
This Jia Zhang family is really awesome!
It's not that banquets have never been held in the courtyard, but no one has ever held such a big party.
There are more than 80 people, plus Jia Dongxu's close co-workers, there are still ten tables no matter what.
There were so many people that the entire middle courtyard could not fit.
"Yes, everyone was invited, even the ancestors were spared!"
"Oh, this is really worrying us. Just like the Jia Zhang family, we will definitely lose money if we eat the banquet with the guests."
"Our family is already in dire straits, how can we have any money left for a meal!" The third aunt looked sad.
The second aunt nodded sharply, and then agreed: "The most important thing is that there will be a banquet tomorrow, but there has been no movement from the Jia family until now."
"I didn't buy any meat or vegetables, I didn't prepare tables and chairs, and I didn't borrow bowls, chopsticks or plates! What kind of banquet is this?"
Hearing this, He Yuzhu understood.
Jia Zhang is trying to get away with nothing!
According to the current living conditions, anyone who holds a banquet has to borrow tables, chairs, benches, bowls, chopsticks and plates from neighbors.
Otherwise, just relying on what you have at home won’t be enough.
No wonder the aunts want to hold a conference here.
The third aunt patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder and said urgently: "Do you want to take the money with you?"
He Yuzhu smiled and joked: "Fine, I'll give my best wishes to Brother Dongxu!"
When the three aunts and others heard this, they all slapped He Yuzhu twice.
You kid has a bad relationship with the Jia family, so no one will say anything.
But they are different. Their relationship with the Jia family is okay on the surface.
"Stop making trouble and get down to business!"
He Yuzhu then smiled and waved his hand: "There's nothing to say. Jia Zhang didn't prepare anything. It's clear that he wants to trick us."
"If I guess correctly, there should be a bowl of cabbage for each person at the table tomorrow."
The aunts all nodded after hearing this. This was pretty much what they had guessed.
After a pause, He Yuzhu spread his hands and said nonchalantly: "We can unite the front and don't go."
"If you stay at home and don't go out, can Jia Zhang still break down the door?"
The second aunt frowned and didn't agree with this opinion.
"Zhuzi, this idea of yours is unreliable. It would be very unpleasant if word spread about it!"
The Jia family has fought with He Yuzhu so many times, but they have never won once.
The aunts all put their hope in He Yuzhu, hoping that he could come up with a more reliable idea.
"Reliable ideas? It's not like there aren't any." He Yuzhu touched his chin and said meaningfully.
"Oh, stop being so pretentious and tell me quickly." someone in the crowd urged.
He Yuzhu didn't have any ink, and he said frankly: "Rather than being tricked by the Jia family, it is better to come to my house for a banquet."
"Anyway, the banquet between me and Huai Ru hasn't been held yet!"
What the hell?
The aunts were shocked by He Yuzhu's words.
You kid is such a quick learner, why are you trying to trick the big guy?
Seeing that everyone looked like they had seen a ghost, He Yuzhu explained with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry, I am different from the Jia family, I am here to benefit everyone!"
He Yuzhu first raised his head and looked in the direction of the courtyard to make sure that Jia Zhang was not eavesdropping, and then lowered his voice and said: "Instead of going to Jia's house to eat cabbage with the ceremony, why not come to my house and have a feast with the ceremony!"
"Everyone in our courtyard counts and collects money per household. You don't need to give this money to me. Give it to the third uncle."
"Let the third uncle be the accountant and put the money for the gifts together, and then we will use the money to hold a banquet."
"Although it's a banquet for Huai Ru and I, in the final analysis, it's a meal that our hospital pays for together."
"As for me, I don't pay a penny. All the gifts are spent on the banquet. I also help you cook for free!"
"How about it, is it a good deal?"
After hearing He Yuzhu's plan, the aunts in the courtyard felt numb!
hiss!
It makes sense, but something feels wrong.
But they really couldn't tell what was wrong.
From this point of view, it doesn't seem to be a loss. Everyone spends money to host a banquet, and everyone can eat good food. It doesn't seem to be a loss.
Besides, He Yuzhu is cooking for free, and the taste is absolutely amazing.
The aunts whispered among themselves and couldn't make up their minds for a while.
He Yuzhu saw that they were still struggling, so he struck while the iron was hot and said: "If you guys have no objection, let the third uncle collect the money tonight!"
"Then we will buy ingredients early tomorrow morning. Let's have a good lunch and treat it as our first team building in the courtyard!"
Team building?
What is this? It sounds weird.
The aunts did not understand the meaning of this word, but they also understood what this sentence meant.
The aunt who had remained silent was the first to agree!
"Okay, I agree!"
Auntie's relationship with the Jia family is now like water and fire, and she is happy to see the Jia family embarrassed.
The rest of the people looked at each other and agreed to the plan one after another.
It's not that cabbage is unaffordable, but He Yuzhu's is more cost-effective.
