At an old man's house.
Yi Zhonghai ate happily.
On the dining table, there was a plate of multigrain steamed buns, a plate of salted vegetables, and a plate of cabbage and tofu soup.
The food looked simple, but it was actually not bad in the courtyard.
Yi Zhonghai was a Grade 8 fitter with a monthly salary of 99 yuan. However, in this era of planned economy, money was useless. One had to have tickets to buy goods.
Pigeon City didn't require a ticket, but it was more expensive.
Although Yi Zhonghai was rich, he was not willing to eat meat unless it was a holiday.
Therefore, when the rich fragrance of meat entered his nose, Yi Zhonghai swallowed his saliva.
"Whose red braised pork is this? It's too extravagant.”
"It's Li Shengguo." A middle-aged woman looked at Yi Zhonghai's expression and whispered,""I saw him bring back a piece of pork belly.”
"What is it? This kid even eats meat."
Yi Zhonghai's face darkened, and his good mood was instantly ruined.
Li Shengguo's rebuke had caused him to lose a lot of prestige in the entire Council.
Judging from Li Shengguo's attitude, Yi Zhonghai felt that it was impossible for Li Shengguo to be his retirement tool.
It was actually like this…
"Go to the deaf old lady's house and take a look. She smelled this smell and is probably craving for it.”Yi Zhonghai's face darkened as he came up with an idea.
If he didn't take care of him in his old age, he wouldn't be able to live a good life in this hospital.
"This?" A middle-aged woman looked troubled. She instantly understood what Yi Zhonghai meant.
Although the Deaf Old Lady was old, she was very greedy. If she went, she would definitely ask her to ask for red braised pork.
"But, will Li Sheng give it to you?"
"Humph! The Deaf Old Lady is the ancestor of our courtyard. Just eat a few pieces of her meat. Just go ahead and don't ask so much.”
Yi Zhonghai's face darkened as he urged.
A middle-aged woman had no choice but to go out and walk to the backyard.
……
The second uncle's family also swallowed their saliva when they smelled the meat.
"I really underestimated Li Shengguo in the past. I didn't expect him to not only dare to provoke Old Yi, but also get such a big piece of meat.”
Liu Haizhong was eating a steamed bun that tasted like wax. His nose twitched from time to time as he smelled the fragrance of the meat.
In addition to being greedy for power, he also had a great hobby of eating. Otherwise, he would not have grown into a fat man.
The second aunt also knew his temperament and immediately suggested.
"Old Liu, why don't we go and get it…"
"No."
Before the second aunt could finish her sentence, Liu Haizhong interrupted her.
"I'm the dignified second uncle. How can I put my face aside when I go to someone else's house to ask for food?”
Liu Haizhong was a big vegetable addict. After becoming a sesame-sized second uncle, he often claimed to be a leader.
He would rather not eat if he had to put down his pride.
"But don't worry. When I become a leader in the future, I'll make that kid Li Shengguo deliver himself to my doorstep.”Liu Haizhong chuckled.
He wanted to be an official, not to serve the people, but to have special privileges and reap benefits.
For the sake of this goal, he could temporarily endure it.
"Tsk ~"
Hearing these familiar words, Second Aunt rolled her eyes. How many times had she heard this? Her ears were already callused.
……
Yan Bugui's eyes turned green when he smelled the meat.
" Smells so good! It smells so good!"
Without another word, he picked up the bowl and left.
He was not poor in food, clothing, and he did not expect to be poor.
It would be a waste not to take advantage of it.
As for face, it was worth a few catties of rice.
……
Li Shengguo was wearing an apron and holding an old wooden shovel. He scooped a big pot of braised pork into the basin one by one.
A rich fragrance assaulted his senses. The neat pieces of meat were glowing with an alluring luster. They were bright red and shiny, making his stomach crave for food.
In a good mood, the sound of spatula and iron pot colliding was especially pleasant to the ears.
He shoveled all the meat into the basin, not leaving even a trace of soup. He brought it to the table and started cooking.
Li Shengguo scooped himself a big bowl of rice, picked up a piece of braised pork, and threw it into his mouth.
In an instant, a wonderful taste exploded in his taste buds, and his eyes lit up.
The color was rosy, the meat was rich, and the sauce fragrance was everywhere. It was fat but not greasy, thin but not dry. It was simply perfect.
"As expected of me!"
After boasting, Li Guosheng picked up another piece.
At this moment.
"Knock, knock, knock ~"
There was a knock on the door.
Third Master Yan Bugui's voice came from outside the door." Li Shengguo, open the door. Third Master is looking for you."”
What's the matter?
"What can happen? Don't even think about taking advantage of me.”
Li Shengguo sneered, but he was not surprised. Everyone knew that Yanbu loved to take advantage of others.
He was definitely here to eat, but he did not intend to spoil her.
He stood up and opened the door, preparing to send Yan Bugui away.
However, when he opened the door, he saw Third Uncle standing there awkwardly.
From the corner of her eyes, she saw two other people. They were a stick and an auntie.
The two of them stood not far away, but their eyes were fixed on this place.
Ha! They were all here to take advantage of him?
Li Shengguo was numb. It was indeed the " Full of Birds in the Siheyuan ". He couldn't even have a peaceful meal.
Li Shengguo wanted to close the shop and ignore these animals.
But in the next moment, he changed his mind.
Haha!
It was such a good opportunity to tease the birds and have some fun.
His expression relaxed. He glanced at the stick guy and the auntie with a faint smile and then focused his gaze on the third uncle.
"Third Uncle, I can give you the meat."
"It's true!" "Thank you so much…" Yan Bugui was pleasantly surprised.
Li Shengguo's smile became even more obvious." Don't thank me yet. I have a condition."”
"Ah! The conditions?"
