The booming era begins with the director of the Propaganda Department!

Chapter 278: Broken Basket
"Uncle, you are a senior fitter and have many connections in our factory... Ask around when you get to work tomorrow to find out what's going on." Jia Zhang winked at Yi Zhonghai.

After all, in front of so many people, Yi Zhonghai cleared his throat and said, "As the head of the Siheyuan, I do have the responsibility to find out what is going on."

Well, with Yi Zhonghai's words, everyone just needs to wait for a reply.

Halfway through the banquet, the second uncle Liu Haizhong stood up, looked around at everyone, and shouted: "Comrades, neighbors, and workers from the steel mill, today is the wedding of Comrade Zhang Shenfei and Comrade Tian Xiaozao.

The two comrades were very thoughtful. The banquet had six dishes and one soup, two meat dishes and four vegetable dishes, all of which were very well prepared. The wine was also the best Erguotou.

As the saying goes, if there is wine and meat, there must be singing and dancing. I suggest that the two newlyweds perform a show for everyone. What do you think? ? ? ! ! ! ! "

As soon as the suggestion was made, it was immediately crazily pursued by everyone.

"it is good!!!"

"The groom sings a song, and the bride sings a verse!!"

"Who doesn't sing at a wedding? We must sing a song!!!"

Amidst thunderous applause, Zhang Shenfei and Tian Xiaozao, who were sitting at the main table, stood up and began to perform for everyone.

The two sang the song "The Sea Sailing Depends on the Helmsman" with great emotion, and halfway through the song they triggered a chorus from the crowd.

After the song ended, everyone was still not satisfied, so Zhang Shenfei sang another baritone solo. Of course, it was still a popular song.

Singing red songs at weddings is also a major feature of this era.

After the song, it was time for the bride and groom to toast everyone. Zhang Shenfei had a good alcohol tolerance and could easily drink beer and two and a half kilograms of white wine.

But today is our wedding day after all, and it would not be good to drink too much and stink of alcohol.

Fortunately, he was prepared. With just one glance, Yan Jiefang stepped forward and said, "Brother Dafei, let's go. I'll go with you to stop the drinking."

Yan Bugui, who was standing by, suddenly had a bright look in his eyes: "We are all good brothers from the same courtyard. Jiefang has to help your brother Dafei block the wine...

Well, don't give me too much, Dafei. Just give me two cents for the hangover soup after you finish drinking it."

Ah, this? ? ! ! It has to be you, Uncle Yan, who can never forget the small change!!!

Zhang Shenfei gave Yan Bugui a thumbs up and was about to say something when Yan Jiefang, who was standing beside him, shook his head and said, "Brother Dafei, you don't need me or your money. I'm willing to work for you for free."

What? ? Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui was stunned! !

No, five years!!!

Ever since Yan Jiefang sold him two pieces of toilet paper for two cents in the public toilet, the door to a new world opened up for him.

Normally, when he asked Yan Jiefang to take out the trash, wash dishes or sweep the floor, he would set a clear price for each task.

Why is it that when he comes to Zhang Shenfei, the brat is willing to work for him for free? ? ?

Is this Nima Yan Jiefang Zhang Shenfei's son or his son???
Watching his second son Yan Jiefang following Zhang Shenfei to toast everywhere, Yan Bugui felt heartbroken.

Who says that girls grow up to be troubled by things? Isn’t it the same for their son? ? ?

After a round of toasts, Yan Jiefang was so dizzy that he couldn't walk in a straight line.

Yan Bugui hated him for not fighting for his country, so he asked his other two sons to help him back home.

Zhang Shenfei and Tian Xiaozao returned to the main table to continue eating.

After the banquet came to an end, the couple stood at the gate of the courtyard to see off the guests.

After finally delivering all the things that needed to be delivered, the couple turned around and went back to the courtyard. As soon as they walked into the hanging flower gate, they heard the sound of quarreling coming from the middle courtyard.

"Mine, mine!! These pigskin scraps are obviously mine!!"

"Bang Geng, Bang Geng, quickly pour all the soup from the twice-cooked pork into grandma's bucket. It's so delicious when you take it home to steam buns."

"Zhang Cuihua, you are so shameless. I had already poured the remaining soup for the cold tofu skin into the basin... You are robbing me!"

"Liu Guangtian, what the hell are you talking about? Is your name written on this leftover soup? Whoever grabs it first gets it!!"

Are they going to fight over the leftovers? ? ? ? Zhang Shenfei raised his eyebrows.

This era is different from later generations. Although it is leftovers, it is basically equivalent to leftover soup.

Anything dry inside, even chopped green onions or garlic, will be fished out and eaten.

However, even the leftover vegetable soup still has a lot of oil and water. It is very good to collect all the vegetable soup and eat it with noodles or dip it in steamed buns when you get home.

It has been a tradition for the common people in the city to eat leftovers from wedding banquets. This thing has a special name called "Zheluo".

In the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, there were still street vendors selling folded baskets.

There was a big pot filled with leftovers and slop collected from major hotels.

All the cold and hot dishes, meat and vegetables were mixed together, with a lot of water added in, and boiled with firewood burning underneath.

Those who are poor and have no water in their stomachs will come and spend a big seed, and then use a pair of chopsticks more than a foot long to scoop it out.

Because there was too much water and the fog was so thick, it was completely difficult to see clearly.

After you put the chopsticks in, what you pull out depends entirely on luck.

If you are lucky, you may be able to fish out a bitten chicken leg or a large piece of pig skin.

If you are unlucky, what you fish out are either chicken bones or ribs that have been cooked cleaner than those chewed by a dog.

The boss standing by stared at the customer with eyes sharper than a vulture's and would not allow the customer to grab even a little more food with his chopsticks.

There is a saying about this thing, it is called staring food! !

Seeing that Second Aunt packed up the leftover soup much faster than herself, Jia Zhang suddenly became anxious.

If you want to fight with the other party, ask Lao Jia to come out and help you.
Thinking again about Lao Qin and the second boy she gave birth to, she never dared to use the undead summoning technique.

Fortunately, the wedding was over and it was already past six in the afternoon. Zhang Shenfei was not interested in watching a few middle-aged women picking up leftovers.

He held Tian Xiaozao's hand and walked all the way back to the front yard. As soon as he opened the door of his house, he saw Grandma Zhang and the deaf old lady sitting at the eight-immortal table.

"Dafei, Xiaozao is back. Have you seen off all the guests?" Grandma Zhang asked with a smile as she looked at the two of them.

"They've all gone. I've been so tired that my feet are hitting my head all day..." Zhang Shenfei sat down next to the old lady, and Tian Xiaozao poured him a cup of tea and placed it next to him.

"Good wife, you are such a good wife." Zhang Xuefei curled her lips and smiled evilly, "Your man will try to make you a good mother next year."

Tian Xiaozao's face suddenly turned red. He looked at Grandma Zhang and the deaf old lady beside him, then angrily looked at Zhang Shenfei: "What nonsense are you talking about? You are so annoying."

Zhang Shenfei grinned wickedly but said nothing.

Upon seeing this, Grandma Zhang stretched out her elbow and slapped the deaf old lady.

The deaf old lady rubbed her back and legs, her waist aching, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes, but she still tried to suppress her laughter and said, "Da Fei, I have something to do today, and I have to talk to your grandma all night long.

Let me discuss with you, can I borrow your grandma for one night???"

He smiled happily, but he was actually upset inside.

I am an old widower, without a husband or children, so I am alone and helpless.

I will also be captured by your family, watch your happy life, and even have to act as your grandmother's wingman.

What the hell is this? ? ? ! ! Is there anyone who bullies others like this? ? ? ! !
The most annoying thing is that I was caught as a wingman, but I dared not say anything and could only cooperate... Living in this broken courtyard is so miserable... Sometimes I really want to move away. The deaf old lady felt a flash of sadness in her heart.

What? Let our old lady live with you?

Zhang Shenfei immediately understood that the old lady was making room for him and Tian Xiaodao's wedding night.

Their house has two rooms in the front yard. The old lady's room is smaller and his room is larger. Although the two rooms are connected, they each have their own entrance.

In fact, even if the old lady didn't leave and lived next door, it wouldn't affect his relationship with Tian Xiaozao.

But since the old lady was so willing, he naturally wouldn't refuse.

So he nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, then I'll trouble the deaf old lady to help me take care of our old lady.

You are two years younger than him. I feel relieved to leave her in your hands!!!"

I have to take care of your old lady? The deaf old lady’s face turned even darker.

After seeing off the deaf old lady and his own old lady, Zhang Shenfei couldn't wait to pull Tian Xiaozao to start washing.

"No, Dafei, it's just past seven o'clock and it's not even dark yet..." Tian Xiaozao looked at the sky outside the window and said embarrassedly.

"Well, what's the problem? As long as we do it from day to night, it won't be considered as daytime sex, right?" Zhang Shenfei said, and brought Tian Xiao to the bed.

One step to the stomach.

After a crazy night, Tian Xiaozao got up at around five o'clock the next day.

Seeing her awkwardly getting off the kang and limping, Zhang Shenfei went over to help her: "If you really feel uncomfortable, just lie down on the bed..."

Tian Xiaozao rolled his eyes at him and said, "Whose newlywed bride sleeps till noon?"

On the first day the bride enters the house, it is customary to cook breakfast for the whole family.

Although I worked really hard last night, I still have to follow the rules.

Tian Xiaozao walked into the kitchen step by step, scooped a few spoonfuls of flour and started kneading the dough.

After entering the twelfth lunar month, it gets colder day by day. Nothing can warm the heart and stomach more than eating a bowl of hot noodle soup early in the morning.

He kneaded the dough skillfully, put it aside, and then went out to pick up a cabbage from the cellar.

As soon as I walked into the central courtyard, I met Qin Huairu.

"Hey, Director Tian, ​​you got up so early? What are you doing now?"

"I'm going to the backyard cellar to pick up some cabbage."

After the two exchanged a few words of greeting, Tian Xiaozao limped towards the backyard.

Qin Huairu has been married to the Jia family for six or seven years. She has long since lived up to her youthfulness and is now a woman who has seen and experienced everything.

When he saw Tian Xiaozao walking as if she had hemorrhoids, a hint of envy suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Thinking about her own Jia Dongxu again, her brows slightly frowned.

What a miserable life!!!!

One day before their wedding leave, after eating the hot noodle soup made by Tian Xiaozao, Zhang Shenfei took his wife out for a walk.

They didn't go home for lunch. Instead, they ate at Lao Mo's. They had beetroot soup, braised beef in a can, salad, and a bottle of red wine.

The meal cost five dollars, and Zhang Shenfei didn't even blink an eye.

After dinner, the two went to see a movie and spent the day like this. It was around five in the afternoon when they rode their bicycles back to Nanluoguxiang.

As soon as I reached the gate of the courtyard, I saw Xu Damao standing there.

"Da Mao, what are you doing here?" Zhang Shenfei turned the brake and asked curiously.

Xu Damao's face was still a little gloomy because of what happened yesterday: "Brother Dafei, I'll treat you tonight. Let's get together at Shazhu's house."

Get together??? Zhang Shenfei thought Xu Damao had something to say to his brothers, and nodded: "Okay, you go first, I'll be there soon."

After sending Tian Xiaozao home and locking the car, he walked into the central courtyard carrying a bottle of wine.

When I pushed open the door of Sha Zhu's house, I saw Yan Jiecheng, Liu Guangqi, Cai Quanwu, Xu Damao and Sha Zhu were all there.

The other brothers sat at the octagonal table, drinking tea and chatting.

Sha Zhu was busy in front of the chopping board, muttering that he wanted to cook a good dish for Xu Damao to soothe his wounded little heart.

"What delicious food?" Zhang Shenfei asked curiously.

Sha Zhu glanced at him and said, "Tofu."

"How can tofu be considered a good dish?" Zhang Shenfei sneered.

Sha Zhu said seriously: "There are only cheap ingredients, but no cheap dishes. Brother Dafei, even though tofu is cheap, you can still make expensive dishes.

Let's say I'm going to make tofu today. First, I need to peel the tofu, cut each piece into eight small pieces, and dry them.

Heat lard and sprinkle with salt. Turn over and add a large cup of medicinal wine and 18 large shrimps.
Boil it once in a small cup of autumn oil, add a pinch of sugar and boil it again, cut the scallions into 120 pieces about half an inch long, and finally remove from the pan.

"This is the classic way of eating Tan's cuisine that has been passed down from our ancestors."

Sha Zhu said and did it at the same time, and Zhang Shenfei felt that what he said sounded familiar.

After thinking for a long time, I finally understood, isn’t this what the corrupt officials and gluttons in the TV series I watched before do? ? ?

Tan’s cuisine is indeed official cuisine!!
Minister Jiang's tofu was served on the table, accompanied by fried peanuts, hot and sour cabbage, and shredded pork with fish sauce. The six brothers then sat down together to eat and drink.

Xu Damao drank a glass of wine and put it down: "Brothers, I'm in trouble and feel sad..."

The other five looked at each other, and after a while, Zhang Shenfei tried to speak: "Did my uncle Xu go to the security department to inquire today?"

Xu Damao nodded.

"Then, what did the security department say?" Zhang Shenfei asked again.

Xu Damao frowned and said in a low voice: "The security department means that, judging from the current situation, Liu Lan should not have cheated on her...

I guess someone has a conflict with her and is deliberately trying to frame her. Section Chief Qiao said that once the matter is thoroughly investigated, Liu Lan will be released. "

Sha Zhu slammed the table and said, "That's a good thing, why are you so embarrassed?"

I don’t understand, how can I be unhappy if I’m not cuckolded???
Is there something wrong with Xu Damao???

"You idiot, what do you know?" Xu Damao glared at Sha Zhu.

Cai Quanwu, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up: "It is said that three people can make a tiger. Although Liu Lan did not get into that kind of thing, she was invited by the security department on the day of her wedding...

Even if she is proven innocent and released, there might still be people who will gossip about her behind her back...

Xu Damao, are you worried about this???"

　I'm trying to lose weight. I only ate a pack of spicy noodles and drank a glass of ice water last night. I had diarrhea all night and lost 5 pounds.

　　I still haven't recovered today, so I wrote it as it is, godfathers please read it
