After dinner, Qin Huairu tidied up and placed a plate of peanuts and a pot of scattered baskets on the table.
The wine pot was just the appearance, but inside it was the Erqu wine that Li Wuwei took out from the market. In the future, it would only cost more than ten yuan per bottle, but the taste was very good. It was just that drinking too much would make one dizzy.
After a while, he went to invite them over.
Yan Bugui secretly gave him a thumbs up. Li Wuwei's way of doing things was wild and shameless. He really invited people over.
"Come, come, please come inside! Huai Ru, come and pour the wine."
Li Wuwei put this on the table first. Don't underestimate peanuts to go with wine. Not everyone could afford it.
"Alright, brother!"
Qin Huairu poured four glasses of wine from the flagon and said,""Third Master, Uncle He, Silly Zhu, you guys drink, I still have work to do in the kitchen.”
"Okay, okay. Sister Qin, go ahead.”
Silly Zhu held his wine glass and thought to himself, Sister Qin is such a good person, he must prepare the banquet tomorrow.
"Ahem…"
He Daqing coughed. This disappointing son of his was still watching even though he had already left the house.
"Li Wuwei, tell me about this first."”
"Alright, this is what happened."
Li Wuwei explained," Tomorrow, I've invited everyone from the entire academy to have a drink. Third Master will be the accountant. The money has already been collected. We plan to have ten tables."
Then, I even invited five tables in the factory. These workers only eat lunch.
In other words, fifteen tables were set up for lunch, and hard dishes were served. Ten tables in the evening, half of the dishes were served.
Other than the betrothal gift from the hospital, my co-workers expect to receive about 120 yuan.
I spent all my money just so that everyone could happily attend my wedding with Qin Huiru.”
Yan Bugui nodded and continued," Including Old He's gifts, we can use about 200 yuan for this banquet.
I was thinking of leaving 50 yuan to buy peanuts, melon seeds, candy, and cigarettes.
At noon, there were fifteen tables. Each table cost eight yuan, so he spent 120 yuan.
Three yuan for ten tables at night. Thirty yuan was enough for dinner.”
He Daqing thought for a moment and said," If that's the case, then with the alcohol and tobacco, each table will be worth ten yuan. It's a sumptuous meal."”
"That's right. This time, our academy will have to show its face. It's a big happy occasion.”
As Yan Bugui spoke, his hands weren't idle. He picked up the peanuts and put them into his mouth. He also took a sip of wine. Wasn't it beautiful? He had earned a lot.
Li Wuwei suddenly interrupted." There's no problem with the plan. It's just that I don't have the money. Those workers can only give gifts when they want people to come."
"But we have to buy supplies this morning. Why don't we do this? Uncle He, you have a strong family background. You can cover the gap first. It's only about 100 points.”
"Me? That's not good!"
He Daqing's chopsticks paused. He was here to drink, yet he still gave gifts and brought his son to help cook for free. After that, he still had to borrow money? He might as well go to the Jia family to have a drink.
Who knew that Li Wuwei's words would change," Silly Zhu, you've been an apprentice for almost a year. You've paid quite a bit to your dad, so you should have saved up all of it for you."”
Shazhu said happily," That's for sure. I pay 15 yuan a month. Dad, you can take out my money first. It's just a matter of handing it over."”
He Daqing's face darkened." What do you mean by your money? You don't usually eat or spend money. And your sister, Yu Shui, spends a lot of money too.”
"Uncle He, don't tell me you can't even take out a hundred yuan? Silly Zhu's hard-earned money, don't let it go to waste. Did you give the money to that White Widow who ran away?”
Li Wuwei had many ways to force He Daqing to pay up, but he still said, don't push him too hard. If he used croton or something when cooking, it would be a mess.
When Silly Zhu heard this, he became anxious." Dad, did you let Li Wuwei hit the nail on the head? Where's the money I gave you?”
"Yes, they're all here. It's only a hundred yuan. I'll pay for it.”
He Daqing's eyes were a little evasive. He did have a family background, but he really didn't think as much as Silly Zhu.
Yan Bugui pushed up his glasses, thinking that widows were really harmful. If he remembered correctly, He Daqing's father had run away with a widow.
Silly Zhu looked at his father and suddenly felt a little suspicious. Was his money still there?
How about he stop paying his salary from next month and give his father some living expenses every month? He would save the rest of the money so that he could get married in the future.
"Alright, alright, it's settled. Third Uncle, discuss the purchase list with Uncle He and then assign tasks to the aunties.
We're eating and drinking by ourselves. I've already thrown in the gifts from my workmates. We must make the noodles for tomorrow's lunch and serve more hard dishes.”
Li Wuwei stopped while he was ahead and tried to smooth things over.
"I've already drafted the list. Old He, come and see if this arrangement is okay. Tomorrow, you and Silly Zhu will be the head chefs.
Every family will send someone to help you. Everyone will make this wedding lively and lively.”
No matter how Yan Bugui calculated, he had profited.
Because the workers gave more betrothal gifts, fewer people came. There were more people in the courtyard, so the betrothal gifts were relatively small. They could still eat two meals.
Although Li Wuwei held a grand wedding for free, he didn't make any money. He couldn't say anything about it, so he just cheated the old Jia family.
Just as Yan Bugui and He Daqing were discussing, Li Wuwei quietly called Silly Pillar outside.
Silly Zhu absent-mindedly looked towards the kitchen, wondering if Sister Qin was done with her work. She didn't know if she should come out and say a few words.
"Silly Zhu!"
"What are you doing?"
Silly Zhu regained his senses and was shocked.
"Smoke!"
Li Wuwei sent a cigarette over. This idiot also smoked.
"Oh, okay!"
Silly Zhu happily lit one, thinking that the kitchen helper would have to bring a pack of cigarettes tomorrow to slowly smoke.
"Silly Zhu, you're eighteen this year.
You have to think about yourself. Your father almost ran away with the widow last time. It's hard to say that there won't be a next time.
Therefore, you have to save up your own money.”
Li Wuwei patted Shazhu's shoulder. He was the only one lying flat in the courtyard. He Daqing was only forty years old. He couldn't just rest in the courtyard. He had to be forced to go out to work.
"That's right."
Silly Zhu thought of the look in his father's eyes when he borrowed money.
Wait a minute, Silly Zhu suddenly realized that Li Wuwei didn't pay a single cent for Sister Qin's banquet this time.
It was all thanks to the gifts given by the hospital and the salary saved by him. Later, he would have to rely on the gifts from his colleagues to make up for it.
How could this be done? Didn't he scam more than a hundred people to pay for the wine?
