Courtyard House: The Chef's Intelligence System

On the second day of their marriage, the couple slept until late morning.

Bingbing isn't that virtuous; she wouldn't expect to endure her discomfort and cook for you early in the morning.

Want to eat farts~

Fortunately, his second brother was sensible. He prepared breakfast and went to school. Li Jiuzhou was very pleased, feeling that he hadn't raised his younger brother in vain.

Returning to the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China as a person from the new century, Li Jiuzhou initially found it very difficult to adapt.

For him, the quality of the food he eats is not a big deal, as long as he is full.

The only downside is not having a phone to play with; that's the biggest adjustment.

Of course, time is the best healer; as time goes by, you have to accept many things, whether you like it or not.

The female bodhisattvas on Douyin are gone, and there are no more beautiful wives to see.

It's like liking someone else's wife; you have your own wife but don't like her, so you like someone else's wife.

You can't let other people like your wife, and you even stare at her all the time. What kind of illness is that?

—A common problem among men!

Li Jiuzhou and Bingbing took 5 days off, which they considered their wedding leave.

In this day and age, five days off is considered a lot; the idea of ​​a honeymoon lasting half a month or a month, like in a past life, is pure nonsense.

Going on a honeymoon when you don't have any money in your pocket?

This is something that only the wealthy and middle-class would do.

For ordinary people, a wedding lasts only a few days, and after the wedding, they go back to work.

At noon, Li Jiuzhou stewed an old hen, which he had prepared in advance.

I need to give my wife some nourishment.

Bingbing, experiencing her first sexual encounter, had a fair complexion with a rosy glow.

Although Bingbing felt a little unwell, she still wanted to pluck the old hen's feathers with her husband, which is called "husband and wife in harmony".

Women of this era are amazing; they can do anything and endure hardship.

Li Jiuzhou had seen Bingbing work; she was capable of carrying heavy loads and had no trace of the delicate, sickly type.

Not to mention housework, she does it very efficiently.

As a man, no matter how many girlfriends Li Jiuzhou had in his previous life, his standards for finding a wife never lowered.

He's a bit of a chauvinist. He earns a decent income as a head chef and hopes to marry a gentle and virtuous woman.

He doesn't want his wife to go to work; he just wants her to take good care of the home. He's content as long as he has a hot meal to eat when he gets off work.

In his previous life, Li Jiuzhou had witnessed too many cases of infidelity between couples, so he didn't want his wife to go to work; it was too dangerous.

Being good-looking is dangerous, being bad-looking is dangerous, and being ugly is fucking dangerous!

Li Jiuzhou hates men who steal other men's partners the most; they are purely morally corrupt.

This kind of person deserves to be cuckolded until death, and their sons and grandsons will all be someone else's children!

Of course, the 50s were relatively safe, and people paid more attention to their reputation.

Moreover, if caught, you could easily be shot; this is considered a problem with your lifestyle, and people will stab you in the back.

The children are also subjected to insults and disdain.

There are obvious examples in the plot of "Full House of Love".

There were so many rumors about Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu dating that Jia Banggeng got beaten up and had a pair of worn-out shoes hanging around his neck!

This is a humiliation that a sensible child who is about to grow up will never forget!

How could he not hate Sha Zhu?

There are also Liu Guangfu and Yan Jiekuang.

Of course, Xu Damao, the instigator, can't escape blame either; he's rotten to the core.

At noon, the two of them drank chicken soup and ate some chicken to fill their stomachs, and then took a nap.

Don't get me wrong, it really is just a nap...

Bingbing's job was changed by her second uncle half a year ago; she now works in an office as a human resources receptionist.

In other words, it's very easy to handle onboarding and other related matters.

When there's work to do, I do it; when there's nothing to do, I knit sweaters with a group of women in the office.

Over the course of six months, she knitted sweaters and scarves for Li Jiuzhou and his two siblings.

Promotions at her job are based entirely on seniority; once you've served enough years, you'll naturally get promoted.

Similarly, when Bingbing married into the family, her father-in-law gave her a lot of dowry items.

She owns a women's bicycle, which is the only one of its kind in Nanluoguxiang. It is the envy of many women and young girls.

In this era, it's rarer for women to ride bicycles than for men.

Even if a man is riding a bicycle around Beijing, he's still the coolest guy!

There's a saying that's very true: even if you're a pig, the moment you get behind the wheel of a Mercedes, you'd have to call him Marshal Tianpeng!

In this day and age, owning a bicycle is tantamount to having priority in choosing a partner.

Boasting isn't enough; you can't make a train move by pushing it.

After the two woke up in the afternoon, they finally had time to count the monetary gifts.

The names and amounts on the gift list are clearly written down.

To be fair, Yan Bugui's calligraphy is quite good; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to set up a stall in the courtyard to sell Spring Festival couplets.

They do have some skills.

The bulk of the gift money came from Li Jiuzhou's major clients.

The most extravagant were the remnants of the previous dynasty. They were good eaters and often invited Li Jiuzhou to their homes to cook, spending lavishly.

The monetary gift presented this time is 200 million, enough to host a banquet.

Lou Bancheng: 188 million; Bai Qiye: 166 million.

The remaining dozen or so people all started at 66, which gave Li Jiuzhou a lot of face.

For these people, money is a small matter; they are not short of money at all. Hundreds of thousands of yuan is just the cost of one meal for them.

Then there are my master's old brothers and my second uncle's comrades-in-arms.

They're quite generous, starting at 100,000 each time.

The next level down is the most ordinary and down-to-earth gift money.

There are prices ranging from ten thousand to twenty thousand, thirty thousand to fifty thousand.

Only one person gave a gift of 10,000 yuan. I don't know why. Maybe Yan Bugui did it on purpose. He put his mother first, which was very conspicuous!

This person is Jia Dongxu!

Good heavens, that's really good heavens!

Back when he got married, Li Jiuzhou had his second brother, Shanhe, give him 2 yuan.

Although you made 86 yuan by hosting Jia Dongxu's wedding banquet, you're still incredibly stingy.

Yan Bugui must have known this, which is why he put Jia Dongxu's name first.

Whether it was Jia Dongxu's own idea or his mother's, Li Jiuzhou was more inclined to believe it was Jia Zhangshi's idea.

That old woman is really cunning; she calculated that Li Jiuzhou wouldn't come looking for trouble, which is why she did this.

That's right, it was Jia Zhangshi's idea.

Jia Dongxu gave her 20,000 yuan to give as a gift, but she just pocketed 10,000 yuan of it. She's really outrageous!

The reason given was that Li Jiuzhou had made too much money from the banquet his son hosted after his divorce, and since he had plenty of money, he didn't care about losing a few thousand.

If it weren't for the fear of losing face, Jia Zhangshi would have wanted to give 5000 yuan.

Yan Bugui was stunned when he saw her open the red envelope and take away 10,000 yuan.

That's disgusting...

At that time, Li Huaide's wife silently accepted the money and gestured for Yan Bugui to write it down.

Yan Bugui shook his head inwardly and wrote Jia Dongxu's name first, because Jia Zhangshi was the first to come and give her gift money.

At the time, Jia Zhangshi was quite proud of herself, as her Dongxu family ranked first!

The neighbors in the backyard who came to give gifts all glanced at it, intentionally or unintentionally.

They might not be able to see other people's names clearly, but the name at the top of the list is definitely the most eye-catching.

After seeing the amount of money Jia Dongxu gave as a wedding gift, they all cursed inwardly, "You're really something else."

The other neighbors were morally upright and did not follow the example of Jia Zhangshi, preparing only what they had prepared.

Yi Zhonghai gave 10 yuan as a gift, which was very generous. When he saw that the first name on the list was his dear apprentice, he even smiled.

When he looked back and saw the amount, he thought he was seeing things. He rubbed his eyes and looked again, but he was dumbfounded.

Yi Zhonghai has a toothache, what the hell is going on?
