Siheyuan: The Villain's Cool Life

"Master Shen, this fish is good, quite wild."

"Don't worry, it's definitely worth the price you gave."

"That's right, that's right. We feel like we've gotten a great deal."

"Since I'm being paid to do something, I have to make you feel good about it."

Shen He pointed at the bag and said, "This is feed. Please find another bag to use. This bag also belongs to the previous owner. I have to return it to him."

"Okay, wife, find a bag. Big brother and second brother, go and help."

The family was busy for a while, and Shen He took his things and went out.

After tying up the bike, he told the family to arrive at 9 a.m. the next day, pushed the bike out the door, rode it twice, turned two corners, and disappeared.

"Hey... Old Wu's, where did you buy this chicken? It's so fat."

"I asked someone to buy this from the countryside with great difficulty. When my daughter-in-law gets married, I have to take good care of myself so that I can have a grandson next year." Mrs. Wu said with a smile.

"Old Wu's family, please give me two. Everyone knows that my daughter-in-law is not well-nourished. This child was born not long ago and is as thin as a little mouse."

"This..." Wu looked at her man. She had to let her man handle this matter.

"Auntie, you know my family's situation. My child is getting married soon... Well, we're not unkind. I'll give you one for ten dollars. I have some chicken feed here, and I'll share some with you."

"How much... ten yuan? Old Wu, we have been neighbors for more than ten years." The old lady's originally cheerful expression changed in an instant.

"Whether it's worth 10 yuan, ask Old Sun to take a look. He is the old man in the yard and he often runs around. He must know the market price." Old Wu's face was not very good either. You should be happy if he can give you one.

When Old Sun heard that there was something going on with him, he happily squeezed into the crowd. He had just heard the rooster crow, but hadn't seen it yet.

When he saw it, his eyes lit up. What a guy! He started to pad and press his hand.

If this chicken is put on the black market, it will be snatched up immediately if you put it on the market for 10 or 15 yuan, and there will be people who want it even if it is 20 yuan.

Now there are fewer things but more money.

"Ahem... Auntie, just listen to Old Wu. It's ten dollars, really worth it. If you don't want it, I will."

Before the old woman could speak, Old Wu spoke up, "Since Old Sun is sure that I didn't cheat you, and because you thought I was cheating you, I won't give you the chicken. We'll raise it ourselves so that you won't be accused of taking advantage of yours.

It’s getting late, and we’re busy tomorrow, so let’s all go home.”

Old Wu chased people away.

Upon hearing this, the old woman became unhappy and her kind expression immediately turned sour.

"You just said you'd give us one. You're a man of your word."

"Didn't you just say you didn't want any? Everyone heard it. I only gave them to you for 10 yuan each because I felt sorry for your daughter-in-law. You disliked them, but it has nothing to do with me.

Besides, what happened just now is now, and I don’t want to sell it now.”

The old woman was not willing to do that and immediately started throwing a tantrum.

"Aunt, my child is getting married tomorrow. Are you sure you want to make such a scene?" Old Wu narrowed his eyes like a poisonous snake, staring at the old woman who was throwing a tantrum on the ground.

At this time, two young men rushed in from outside, "Mom, there are so many people here, what are you making a fuss about? My dad wants you to go home." As they said that, they carried the old lady away.

After a while, one of the young men came back and said, "Uncle Wu, my mother is worried about my wife. Don't argue with her. I know you care about me and my wife.

Please give me one, uncle. Just name the number and I won’t bargain.”

"Okay, okay, am I that kind of person? Give me 10 yuan, go get a bag, and I'll pour some chicken feed for you.

If you want to know whether this issue is worth the price, ask Old Sun." Old Wu waved his hand.

Old Sun smacked his lips and said, "You've got a good deal, thank you, Uncle Wu. This is a good chicken. You can't even get it for 15 yuan on the market. If someone tries to raise the price with you, you can't take it away even if it's 20 yuan.

Okay, Old Wu, I'll have a good meal tomorrow when we meet."

"Okay. I guarantee you'll want to try it again after you've had this one."

The young man thanked her a few more times and ran out. After a while, he took out a small bag. Mrs. Wu gave him a small amount and stopped when the bag was half full.

The young man said a lot of nice things and went back home with the chickens and feed.

There was also a chicken coop at home. The old lady who had been making a fuss just now clipped the chicken's wings with a bitter face and then marked it.

You can tell from his face that he was taught a lesson.

Fortunately, Shen He didn’t know, otherwise, he might have been able to watch a good show here.

Chapter 159 Every Family Has a Hard Time

Shen He got up early in the morning.

After eating, I cleaned up, cleaned the knife, carefully sharpened it, oiled it, and put it into the scabbard.

"Little brother, come back early this afternoon. It's hot outside."

"Okay, I understand, don't worry."

Shen He went out, leaving behind his two sisters and a little girl who was studying hard.

After riding for a while, we arrived at the place where the wedding was being held.

"Master Shen, you are here."

"Here you are, are you ready?"

"I'm ready. Come this way."

Shen He was taken to the backyard.

The stove here has been set up, and several helpers have already lit the stove.

Some aunties and grandmas who came to help were washing vegetables and dishes.

These bowls are borrowed from neighbors. Who would have the time to sell so many bowls?

Shen He arrived at the place and started to make arrangements.

The cutting board needs to be cleaned.

Place the vegetable bowl in place and put the cut vegetables in the bowl for later use.

There are only 4 tables, so not much space is needed.

Of the four chickens that were promised, only two were slaughtered, and even the fish only had two.

"Master, isn't it four chickens and four fish?"

"Hey... Master Shen, we had already made the arrangements last night, but some issues arose. The bride wanted two chickens and two fish to be carried to the reception because they looked good.

Alas, after I took it away, I never thought about taking it back.

Last night, the neighbor in the yard bought another chicken. My wife at home didn’t have enough nutrition, and the child was crying with hunger. I couldn’t bear it. My wife will need nutrition supplements in the future after she gets married.

Alas, I can only use two chickens and two fish now. Please trouble Master Shen."

"It's okay, I understand. Don't worry, there are ways to cook these eight dishes. You won't lose a lot of money."

"Then wait for Master Shen's craftsmanship."

"Please do it."

The two chickens have been killed, and the chicken blood and chicken intestines have been taken out. It seems that the chicken intestines have also been washed.

No one throws this stuff away these days.

When killing the chicken, the aunts took a long time.

It was the same with Mrs. Wu. She touched several chickens for a long time before finally settling on these two.

The youngest daughter at home was sad for a long time.

I had a plan in mind and started to do it.

He took out the boning knife and began to remove the meat from the two chickens.

The chicken bones will be used to make soup later.

Served with green vegetables and chicken blood.

A bowl of chicken blood soup is also delicious.

The chicken is fried and the potatoes and chicken are stewed later.

For fish, have some fish fillets in tomato sauce.

There are only two fish heads, so I can’t make a dish out of them. I’ll keep them for the host so they can make a soup or something.

Braised eggplant, stir-fried vegetables, and a few other dishes.

Make a total of eight dishes and a soup, it’s a sure thing.

For all dishes, add a little oil made from chicken fat before serving.

The taste came right up.

The bride was taken back.

She looks very quiet, but...

My mother’s family directly asked for two chickens and two fish... Tsk tsk, this family will have a hard time in the future.

"Master Shen, you are this..." The host came over with the groom and bridesmaid to toast and gave a thumbs up.

"You pay me and I do the work. Since you've come to me, I can't let this matter fall on the floor. I'm just a cook. If everyone enjoys the meal, I'll be satisfied."

“Satisfied, quite satisfied.

"Master Shen, your price is too high. If it were cheaper, many people would definitely want to hire you."

"The host is joking. Cooking is just a hobby for me. I don't specialize in this. If I sell it cheaply, the people around me who eat this kind of food will hate me to death.

We can’t do things to people completely, we have to leave them a way out.”

"Master Shen, you are so generous."

"This is your wedding gift, it's a token of respect." The groom handed over a small red cloth bag.

"Thank you both, I wish you both a happy family and a happy life, and may you have a son soon."

"Thank you for your kind words."
