Chapter 326 He Yuzhu's Business

After visiting Li Yunlong,

Whether it is Fengze Garden or the militia, He Yuzhu's work is on the right track.

By the end of December, the east wing of the front yard was renovated, and Yan Bugui and Jia Zhangshi both clamored for He Yuzhu to arrange the banquet.
"Zhu Zi, look, Zhang Chengsheng has been disturbing everyone for so long while he's been going in and out of the courtyard to help you renovate the house.

Now that the house is renovated, you should treat everyone to a nice meal.
Firstly, it is a way of expressing gratitude to our neighbors. Secondly, it is a new house after all, so we are here to warm it up for you.

Everyone, do you think so? "

Yan Bugui's words were immediately approved by Jia Zhangshi, who followed suit and said,
"Yes, Zhuzi, you have caused us a lot of trouble in the past month or so while you were renovating the house. It was very inconvenient with so many things piled up in the yard.

You have to treat me to a good meal anyway."

Seeing Yan Bugui and Jia Zhangshi come forward, the other neighbors in the courtyard also started to make a fuss.
He Yuzhu is not an unreasonable person. In the past period of time, the front yard was indeed filled with various materials, which did interfere with the normal lives of the neighbors.

Besides, living in a new house was indeed a happy event, so he nodded and agreed.

"Okay, the renovation of the house is indeed a happy event. I am really sorry for the trouble you have had during this period of time.
It is only right to treat every household to a meal.”

Seeing He Yuzhu agreed, Yan Bugui immediately said happily,

"Zhu Zi, since we are going to do it, then do it well. Prepare more meat dishes. It would be best if we could prepare eight large dishes like we did when we came back last month."

As soon as Yan Bugui finished speaking, before the neighbors had time to make a noise, He Daqing had already started to retort.

"I say, Old Yan, that's enough!

Some time ago, Lao Zhang helped Zhuzi renovate his house. There were always various materials missing in the yard for unknown reasons, so Lao Zhang ended up only bringing the materials he needed that day.

If we hadn't given all the renovation work to Zhang at a flat price from the beginning,

These lost things should be blamed on us.

Now that we are celebrating the new house, it is good enough that Zhuzi can treat you to a meal, and it is eight bowls, why don't you go to heaven?

You have already embarrassed yourself and thrown yourself out of the courtyard, and you still want to eat good food, what are you thinking about? "

After being scolded by He Daqing and suspected of stealing various raw materials from the yard, Yan Bugui immediately retorted unhappily,

"He Daqing, what do you mean?
Since you suspect that we took the materials from the yard, then produce the evidence. If you don't have any evidence, don't talk nonsense here.

Everyone, please judge for yourself. Listen to what He Daqing said. Isn't this just smearing the neighbors' faces? "

"Hey, Old Yan, I never meant that.
Our family didn't spend a penny extra from beginning to end, so there's no need to look for evidence to prove anything.
Anyway, I have really troubled everyone during this period. There is no problem with eating, but as for the eight bowls, I am sorry, it is not possible.
We had the Eight Big Bowls in our courtyard. One time was when Jia Dongxu got married and Lao Yi paid for it. Another time was when we came back from Shangzhuzi and everyone paid for it together.

No matter how much a house renovation is, it can't be as big as Dongxu's wedding.

How could our family possibly pay for you to eat the Eight Big Bowls? This is clearly showing disrespect for Mrs. Zhang. I must be mentally ill to do this.

Of course, if you guys come up with some of it like last time, then just ignore what I said." After listening to He Daqing's long and eloquent speech, the core idea was similar to what He Yuzhu said when he returned from his post last month.

You can eat there, but if you want to eat well, you have to pay for it yourself.

As for the matter of paying for the meal, the neighbors still held the same idea as before. They didn't lose anything by paying for a good meal because it was Lao He's business.

Moreover, after such a long period of fermentation, He Yuzhu's cooking skills, which were comparable to those of Mou Changxun and Wang Shizhen, had spread throughout Beiping.
Naturally, everyone wants to try it.

"No problem, Lao He. We don't need the money anyway. But you and Zhuzi have to do a good job for us.

At least it should be worthy of your father and son’s Fengze Garden’s craftsmanship.”

Seeing that the neighbors actually agreed to He Daqing's idea of ​​paying for it themselves, Yan Bugui suddenly became a little angry.

But when he thought about how he almost had a vegetarian meal last time and was almost accused of being disunited, he opened his mouth but didn't say a word in the end.

Seeing this, He Daqing agreed with a smile just like last time.

But at this time, He Yuzhu has something to say,
"Dear uncles and aunts, I have no objection if you want to eat good food. My father will cook it for you.
But I have other plans, so I definitely don’t have the time.”

The neighbors all knew how good He Daqing's cooking was. They actually wanted to try He Yuzhu's cooking this time. When they heard that he had other plans, they were immediately unhappy.

"It's not a pillar. You are not going to use it to rub us.

It was fine before, but now that we are talking about cooking in the courtyard, something has happened?"

"That's right, Zhuzi. Everything was fine some time ago. How come you have made arrangements when the critical moment comes?"

Seeing everyone talking and looking at him, He Yuzhu denied it with a smile.
"I really didn't mean to shirk responsibility this time. It's really something important."

When Yan Bugui and the others heard He Yuzhu say that he had something important to do, they thought he was using this as an excuse to shut them up, and they were very dissatisfied.

"What else can you do?
Didn't Fengze Garden just hold a reception a few days ago?
It is the "Package of Economic and Technical Cooperation Projects" signed with Big Brother in October that Lao He mentioned.
Big Brother's experts finally came to Daxia a few days ago, and the State Council held a grand banquet in your Fengze Garden.

It's over now, why are you still bothered by it?"

"Yes, yes, yes, Zhuzi. You and your father didn't go home for three days when Fengze Garden was hosting the state banquet. How come there is something going on again now?"

Not to mention the strict security at Fengze Garden and the long line of luxury cars at the door on the day of the banquet,
It's just that my father and I haven't been home for two or three days.
He Yuzhu also knew that the Fengze Garden's reception would definitely not be hidden from the Siheyuan's neighbors, so he didn't find it strange at all.
When they finished, they talked about their own affairs.
"It's nothing. You know the State Council hosted those experts from the Russians two days ago.
The leader is preparing a family dinner at home to entertain a few key leaders, so he asked me to go to the West Flower Hall to cook.
You think I can refuse this?

So if you want to eat good food, just go find my dad. I really don’t have the time.”

Although I don't know the exact layout, as a Beijinger, I know what the West Flower Hall is.

When I heard He Yuzhu say that he was going to Xihua Hall for a family dinner, I was shocked.
