Chapter 262: Jia Zhang is released and plots against Wang Jianye
Years ago, Wang Jianye hired two craftsmen to whitewash the three rooms of his house.
One of them is surnamed Zhang and the other one is also surnamed Zhang. They are brothers and live next to each other.
Wang Jianye went to see them early this weekend and told them that he wanted to build a toilet in their yard.
The two masters followed Wang Jianye to his private courtyard in Qianmen for an on-site inspection.
"Build a toilet here, make it a squat toilet, and then bring tap water into this room. Turn on the switch and flush the toilet directly..."
Wang Jianye talked about a lot of his ideas.
Upon hearing this, Master Zhang couldn't help but shook his head: "I'm afraid that won't work. The sewage pipes in your yard can't go to the toilet and can't be flushed away. I suggest you use a large bucket to collect it instead. This will be much more convenient..."
As masters who specialize in doing these odd jobs and have rich experience, Master Da Zhang and Master Er Zhang gave Wang Jianye some advice.
The existing conditions made it impossible to realize his idea, so Wang Jianye could only take a step back and accept the advice of Master Zhang and his brother:
"Okay, let's do it this way. How much does it cost to build a toilet including the labor and materials?"
"It would take about a week to complete the construction if we used the best materials, red bricks, lime powder, cement, sand, tiles, wooden beams, dung buckets, light bulbs, wires, nails, wires...
The material cost is about 30 yuan, plus our wages, you can give 45 or 46 yuan.
If you use inferior materials, it will be cheaper. For example, if you change red bricks to green bricks, the cost of the materials will be around 25 yuan. It depends on whether you want to use better materials or inferior materials. "
Master Da Zhang wrote and drew on the paper and talked to Wang Jianye.
How much material is needed to build a toilet and how much each material will cost.
Some are expensive, some are cheap, and each one is clearly written on paper.
"Just use the best materials to build your house."
Wang Jianye is not short of money. If he wants to build a house, he should build it first, so as to avoid the need for repairs in the future, which will be annoying and troublesome.
In the morning, Wang Jianye decided to build the toilet with two craftsmen.
Around noon, Wang Jianye rode his bicycle to the vicinity of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang.
I heard a few crows squawking in the sky.
Wang Jianye frowned. This was not a good sign.
Pushing his bicycle into the courtyard gate, Wang Jianye understood why the crows were cawing.
Because Jia Zhang was released.
Yan Fugui in the front yard told him that Jia Dongxu went to the detention center this morning and brought back his mother Jia Zhang.
Moreover, Jia Zhang has lost a lot of weight and seems to have calmed down a bit, but I don’t know how long she can remain calm.
When passing by the central courtyard, Wang Jianye inadvertently glanced at the Jia family in the west wing.
"What are you looking at! You stinky cook."
Lao Jia, who was sitting on the kang in the Jia family, noticed Wang Jianye looking towards her house through the window in the yard.
She felt that the other party must be laughing at her, and couldn't help but mutter something.
The sound was not loud. It seemed that Lao Jia had been reformed well in the detention center.
In the past, if someone dared to laugh at her, she would have cursed at them and spat shit on their face.
Wang Jianye, who was outside the house, didn't hear what Lao Jia muttered inside the house, and continued riding his bicycle forward.
"Mom, Wang Jianye may be tired now, he has already served as a state banquet."
Jia Dongxu was beside her, talking about Wang Jianye jealously.
"What state banquet?!"
After hearing what Jia Dongxu said, Jia Zhang was confused, "What does Wang Jianye have to do with the state banquet?"
"On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month before the New Year, Wang Jianye went to Xiyuan to participate in the preparation of the state banquet."
Jia Dongxu and Wang Jianye are of the same age. The better Wang Jianye does and the more promising he is, the more envious and jealous Jia Dongxu becomes.
"No, what qualifications does Wang Jianye have to host a state banquet?"
Jia Zhang was very confused.
How long has she been in there? Is the world outside developing so fast?
Even Wang Jianye, who was just promoted to a full-time employee, can prepare for state banquets. Is it possible that all chefs in the world have disappeared?
"I heard that Wang Jianye's dishes are particularly delicious, so he was chosen."
"Ah? How delicious can it be? How long has he been learning to cook?"
Jia Zhang was confused, and Jia Dongxu was jealous:
"Mom, I asked Qin Huairu, and she said that because Wang Jianye's braised pork and spicy and sour potato shreds are so delicious, they have become the signature dishes of Fengzeyuan.
Fengze Garden has been very popular recently, and many customers come to Fengze Garden just for these two dishes made by Wang Jianye...
Now Wang Jianye has become a celebrity in Fengze Garden, and his salary is said to be 80 yuan!!!"
When talking about money, Jia Dongxu almost gritted his teeth.
He felt unbalanced. Why did Wang Jianye's salary amount to five or six times his? It was very hard for him to accept.
Little did he know that Wang Jianye's salary was higher than he imagined.
If he knew Wang Jianye’s real income, he would probably be jealous.
"Ah? So much money?!"
Jia Zhang widened her sharp and sarcastic triangular eyes and asked Jia Dongxu in disbelief:
"Is this true? Wang Jianye has only been an apprentice for a few years, but his skills are so good and he can earn so much money?!"
Jia Dongxu nodded unhappily. He didn't want this to be true. Last year, as a worker, he felt superior and looked down on cooks like Wang Jianye.
But now things have taken a turn for the better, and Wang Jianye's salary is several times higher than his.
He has a house to live in, a car to ride, and new clothes to wear. His life is much better than his.
Jia Dongxu certainly felt bad.
Apart from the fact that he married a beautiful wife, no one can compare to Wang Jianye in other aspects.
"Damn it, why is Wang Jianye living so much better than our family?"
Jia Zhang was unhappy.
Like mother, like son, Jia Dongxu learned this from his mother.
Triangle Eyes turned around and came up with a bad idea:
"Does Wang Jianye have a partner now?"
"I haven't heard of it. I don't think there is any."
Jia Dongxu doesn't know much about Wang Jianye.
Because he heard that Wang Jianye was doing so well and had such a bright future, he had a headache and didn't want to ask anyone about it.
Even when others talked about Wang Jianye, he would automatically walk away.
He couldn't avoid knowing the little bit about Wang Jianye, and he accidentally heard it when others were talking about it.
"We can only eat meat once every ten days or half a month, but Wang Jianye can bring home three meat dishes every day.
You and Qin Huairu work so hard, but the money you earn in a month is less than half of Wang Jianye's salary.
This is so unfair!!”
"Mom, what do you mean?"
"He has to share some of the meat and vegetables he brings back with our family!"
In the detention center, Jia Zhang was fed with only plain water and had no oil or anything else to eat.
So after coming out, I had a special craving for meat dishes.
Given the current conditions of her Jia family, it is impossible for them to eat meat every day.
But there was a family in their yard who could eat meat every day.
So Jia Zhang wanted Wang Jianye to share a meat dish with their family so that she could have meat to eat every day. How wonderful that would be.
Jia Zhang swallowed her saliva and talked about the bad idea she had just thought of:
"Wang Jianye doesn't have a partner yet? Then he needs to pay attention to his reputation.
If your reputation is bad, it will be hard to find a partner.
I plan to let Qin Huairu seduce him, and we'll catch them in the act.
After we catch him, we can use this to threaten him and ask him to give one of the three meat dishes he brings back every day to one of our families.
By then, Wang Jianye will have no choice but to agree."
After hearing the bad idea that Jia Zhang came up with, Jia Dongxu couldn't help but say:
"Qin Huairu is my wife, how can I let her seduce other men? No, I won't allow it."
Especially a man like Wang Jianye who is good-looking and capable.
Jia Dongxu was afraid that Qin Huairu would seduce him, so he changed the fake into the real and put a green hat on him.
"You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing your child, and you can't catch a gangster without sacrificing your wife.
I don't think Wang Jianye is a serious person. Qin Huairu is so beautiful. If she came to him, I don't believe he wouldn't be tempted.
Then we can catch them in the act. If Wang Jianye doesn't want to make a big fuss, he will have to agree to our conditions.
Ask him to share the three meat dishes he brings back from Fengze Garden every day with one of us, no, with both of us!"
When Jia Zhang thought about the scene of her family being able to eat two meat dishes every day, she couldn't help swallowing her saliva, and her eyes became even more fiery.
Seeing that Jia Dongxu was still hesitating, Jia Zhang continued to persuade:
"What are you afraid of? It's not a real thing anyway.
This is a trap, designed to trap Wang Jianye.
As long as it works this time, we will definitely have him in our hands in the future.
Think about it, the three meat dishes that Wang Jianye brings back from Fengze Garden every day can be used to feed the two of us.
He earns 80 yuan a month, so we can borrow it if we want.
That’s great. Why are you still hesitating? Are you worried that your wife and Wang Jianye will really get together?
Don't worry, I'm very good at judging people, and Qin Huairu doesn't have such courage. "
After Jia Zhang's painstaking persuasion, he made it clear to them the pros and cons.
Jia Dongxu finally agreed and decided to wait until Qin Huairu came back from get off work.
Talk to her about this matter and persuade your wife to seduce other men...
……
At the same time, Wang Jianye returned to the backyard.
Before he even reached the front door, Liu Haizhong from the east wing and Xu Fugui from the west wing came over.
"Wang Jianye, you're back. I've been waiting for you all morning."
"I have been looking forward to the stars, the moon, and the sun rising from the deep mountains. Finally, Master Wang has arrived."
Seeing Wang Jianye's enthusiasm, the two were confused:
"What do you want from me?"
"It's like this, ever since I ate your specialty dish last time, I couldn't stop lingering, and it was so delicious.
So, I would like to ask you to cook a special dish for my family at noon.
As for the food, my family has already bought it. Money is not a problem. I will definitely give you a higher price.
Wang Jianye, do you think it is convenient?"
