Chapter 110 Full Moon Wine
Hearing the knock on the door, Xu Damao seemed to have found a savior. He quickly got up and threw the bowl on the table, ran to the door and opened it.
Outside the door, Jia Dongxu looked at Xu Damao with a smile on his face, as if he was showing off, which made Xu Damao feel uncomfortable.
Don’t you just have a son? After a while, my brother drank Dabu Decoction, and we also have a son.
Hmph, who are you looking down on?
"Dongxu, what's wrong? No money to buy milk powder?"
Xu Damao deliberately rubbed salt into the Jia family's wounds. Who doesn't know that the eldest grandson of the Jia family can eat it? Where can I afford it?
Jia Dongxu’s face trembled, which really made Xu Damao collapse.
Seeing that their son's full moon was coming soon, several members of the Jia family discussed setting up a few tables and collecting some money.
Of course, in order to maximize profits, the Jia family spent a lot of brains.
First of all, the number of tables to be placed must be calculated.
The people they plan to invite are basically people from the courtyard, and some acquaintances from the alley.
According to Jia Zhang, anyone who can speak a few words will be sent an invitation. I believe these people will definitely come for the sake of face.
A few people calculated the circle and found that according to ten people per table, almost five tables could be set up.
Of course, this is just for adults. For weddings these days, one family has to pay a share, but when it comes to meals, everyone in the Hula family goes.
Just these five tables were left after removing half of the adults. If women and children were included, the number of invitations they sent would probably be doubled.
After determining the number of people to invite, you have to order the dishes on the table.
So, the second step is to prepare the meal.
Normally speaking, this kind of happy event requires the presence of meat and fish dishes. It would be too embarrassing to fill the table with vegetarian dishes.
But buying meat requires not only money but also meat coupons. With the ability of the Jia family, they can buy a pound of meat as a tooth sacrifice. If there are five tables, how can one pound of meat be enough to share?
In the end, Jia Dongxu gritted his teeth and went to Pigeon Market to buy three kilograms of pork, which was regarded as having noodles.
As for the cook, several people unanimously decided to let Shazhu help.
There are so many benefits to letting Silly Zhu cook.
Not only do you save on oil, salt, soy sauce, etc., not to mention making free money, you don’t have to pay wages.
I believe Yi Zhonghai can handle this matter.
Calculated in this way, the cost of a table of dishes, coupled with steamed buns and two boxes of steamed buns, is only about two and a half yuan.
Finally, it’s time to calculate the gains and losses.
Qin Huairu was taking notes on the side. After some analysis, Jia Zhang estimated that it would cost seventeen or eighty yuan this time, but the profit was hard to say.
Usually, ordinary people’s banquets only cost fifty-eight cents. If the whole family comes, they will take care of the host’s family and get a piece.
Calculated in this way, more than thirty households were invited to the entire banquet. Calculated based on an average of eight cents, it is twenty-four to five, which can net more than half of the profit.
However, Mrs. Jia Zhang was not satisfied with this amount of money at all. She wanted to borrow more money from the full moon wine, which would not only solve the problem of feeding her eldest grandson, but also make the family richer and be generous during the Chinese New Year. .
So, there is the final step.
That is the minimum standard for clarifying member money.
According to Jia Zhang, their family bought a lot of pork and hired a chef like Sha Zhu. They also spent on drinks and divided the candies, and everyone who came got at least two pieces. money.
So, in the last column of the invitation, Jia Zhang added on her own initiative that each household should give at least two yuan.
Qin Huairu objected to this, but no one in the Jia family listened to her voice.
And Jia Dongxu also fantasized that if he really received fifty or sixty yuan, it would be enough for them to earn two months' salary.
Now, Jia Dongxu takes on the task of sending invitations and sends them door to door.
No, let’s start from the backyard. The first one is Xu Damao’s house.
"Da Mao, this is a full moon. I will set up two tables in the courtyard and invite you to have a drink!"
With that said, Jia Dongxu handed the written invitation to him, and Xu Damao took it without looking at it.
“Oh, you are so heroic in doing this.”
Xu Damao didn’t expect that the Jia family would actually do something like this, it was unexpected.
"No, this is also a good thing for our hospital. You have to go and have a drink when the time comes."
"How much does it cost to have a drink? You should prepare more wine then. We will never return until we are drunk.”
"Come on, just your two taels of wine must be lying on the table."
"Remember to go early, let's go!"
Jia Dongxu joked, but in his heart he was like a mirror, Never buy too much wine, otherwise the cost will increase.
Xu Damao knew how much he drank and didn't mind. He was polite and Jia Dongxu walked to the second uncle.
He returned to the house with the invitation, sat at the table and threw it to Lou Xiao'e. Xu Damao picked up the bowl again.
He worked hard to give his son a full moon next year.
Lou Xiao'e on the side watched Xu Damao hold his nose and down a large bowl, smiled knowingly, and then looked at the invitation.
"Da Mao, this, the Jia family is quite interesting."
"What's wrong?"
Xu Damao was holding back vomiting, holding his breath, smelling Two words were spoken.
"Look. This Jia family lets people have a banquet and also stipulates the share price."
Lou Xiao'e walked up and pointed to the words on the back of the invitation.
Xu Damao glared and said, "Wow, this Jia family is so poor."
"I want to eat shit. If the family pays two yuan, why do we have a wedding banquet? Why don't we just go Let's go to a restaurant." Lou Xiao'e also nodded after hearing this. Two yuan per family and more than ten yuan per table is enough to prepare a table of delicious food in a small restaurant.
"Then, are we still going?"
"Go? If I go, I will be a fool?"
Xu Damao shouted, took the invitation, examined it twice, and tore it into pieces. , threw it under the corner of the table.
"It's so poor that we are crazy. The plan is on us."
"Huh, just wait and see how they end up."
Xu Damao said viciously, while Jia Dongxu continued to distribute invitations.
After inviting the second uncle to be the host, the second uncle happily accepted the invitation. His inner excitement was beyond words. He finally had the opportunity to stand at the front desk and express his feelings.
After leaving the second uncle’s house, Jia Dongxu distributed invitations in the backyard again, even the deaf old lady was not left behind. Finally, he walked around the middle courtyard and front yard before leaving the courtyard to send invitations in the alley. post.
In the front yard, the third aunt was lying on the bed waiting for her little daughter. Yan Fugui stood aside and listened to Yan Jiefang reading the invitation. After listening at the end, the eldest brother Yan Jiecheng sneered.
“Is there anyone else who issues invitations like this?”
"Let's make it clear and let people take the money. This Jia family is really interesting."
After Yan Jiecheng finished speaking, the third aunt on the bed became energetic.
In the past few days, she has been able to make all the good things at home, and her mouth has been fed by food and water. If it weren't for her poor family background, she would have thought that Yang Xiaotao would eat meat all the time for a few days.
Unfortunately, family conditions do not allow it.
Hearing what the Jia family did, he immediately shouted to Yan Fugui, "His dad. Look..."
Needless to say, Yan Fugui knew what she meant. He just wanted to imitate her, but this was something that would offend others. For the long term, he really couldn't do this.
Waving his hand, he stopped his wife from saying, "This is about killing the chicken to get the eggs, eating the grain, and fishing in the lake. After this time, don't try to take advantage."
"Besides, the people in this yard are also You’re not a fool, how many of you think you can afford this kind of money?”
After thinking about it, this is really the case.
Not to mention anything else, except for Yan Fugui’s salary, and now Yan Jiecheng’s occasional work, it is just enough to maintain food and clothing, and let them take two yuan to eat. Isn't that heartbreaking?
"Dad, shall we go?"
Yan Jiecheng asked.
Yan Fugui took off his glasses, put them in his mouth, and then wiped the remaining dust with the corner of his clothes.
“Go, why don’t you go?”
“Let’s give you two yuan. When Jie Di is one month old, his Jia family will have to get back two yuan and one.”
"Every dime earned in vain is just a dime, just treat it as an investment."
When several people heard this, they all laughed. After all, they could scheme against the Jia family and still have a delicious meal. That's enough for them to be happy.
In the middle courtyard, Shazhu personally sent Qin Huairu out, with a smile in his eyes and a spring breeze on his face.
"Zhu Zhu, I'll trouble you then!"
Qin Huairu stood at the door, looking back with a charming smile, which made Zhu Zhu stare.
"Okay, okay."
"Leave this matter to me, don't worry."
Silly Zhu patted his chest and promised, all the reluctance at the beginning was forgotten.
According to the usual rules of chefs, it is not a problem to get some benefits from such a meal, but the host has to give you a bonus after the meal is over.
But this is not a bad thing. Not only are you working hard in vain, but you are not making any money, and you have to pay for a lot of condiments. It is a real loss.
Especially after cooking for yourself, you still have to be a guest, and you must pay every penny. Who would be offended by this?
But looking at Qin Huairu's appearance, Shazhu didn't care anymore.
The Jia family is in such a difficult situation, why can't he, a cook, get something to eat?
“Just think that I feel sorry for Sister Xiao Qin!”
Looking at Qin Huairu’s plump back after leaving, especially the roundness after giving birth to a child, Shazhu swallowed his saliva, Go back to the house and continue to work.
Silly Zhu can see clearly, but that does not mean that others can also see clearly.
Some people started shouting in the middle courtyard, especially the grumpy ones. They looked at the invitation in their hands and immediately started to curse.
“Isn’t this a good thing?”
Wang Dashan next door walked out of the door and shouted to the Li brothers who also came out.
“Who says it’s not the case? The minimum price is two yuan. Why the hell is this table so expensive?”
"Isn't it? We have been old neighbors for many years. Wouldn't it be a slap in the face if we don't give it to you?"
"A slap in the face? Does the Jia family still have any shame?"
A group of people gathered together They started complaining together, and the elder Yi Zhonghai sat at home, looking at the invitations on the table, sighing in his heart.
Can he not hear the sounds outside? But he doesn't dare to go out and be this evil person.
When the eldest mother heard this, she was also embarrassed, "Old man, where is the trouble in the Jia family?"
"Inviting people to eat noodles, why are you doing this?"
Yi Zhonghai sighed, "What's the trouble? It's not because we don't have money."
After hearing this, the aunt immediately Lowering his head, everyone knew that the Jia family had spent everything they had for their children.
Of course, it’s not like theirs. How big is the pot and how much rice is in it? Don’t you know what’s going on at home?
I have to make a fool of myself and drag the whole hospital to give money to their family members. It’s really a beautiful idea and makes others think they are fools.
"Then what should we do about this matter?"
Auntie asked if she wanted to go, but Yi Zhonghai said firmly, "If others don't go, we have to go too."
Hearing this, The aunt was secretly sad.
This is the pain of not having children. When asking for help, you have to look at the person’s face.
