Chapter 129: At the Jia family’s funeral banquet, only one person from each family can come?
"This..."
"Let's wait until Dongxu's funeral is finished,"
Although Jia Zhang was a little moved by what he said, she was not in a hurry to let Qin Huairu discuss the matter.
After all, the most important thing right now is the funeral of his son.
Especially,
In the absence of Shazhu’s help as a cook,
It’ll be a while,
It is also difficult for the Jia family to find a second replacement cook.
What's more,
Even if you hire a cook from outside.
The cost of these chefs is definitely much higher than that of Shazhu!
Thinking of this,
Mrs. Jia Zhang also had a look of anger on her face and couldn't help but say.
"I still don't believe it,"
“Without Zhang Butcher, we can’t eat pigs with hair on them!”
"At worst, I'll go out on my own, and I'll just cook a few tables of food?"
"If others don't come, our family will save a lot of hard work!"
Soon,
Jia Zhang went to the vegetable market with confidence,
When I come back,
There is a piece of pork belly as big as a palm in my hand,
There is also an old hen,
Three palm-sized fish that have been dead for a long time.
In addition to these meat dishes,
The rest are a large basket of big white radishes and some dried vegetable leaves.
"..."
And seeing these ingredients prepared by my mother-in-law,
Qin Huairu opened her mouth, but still didn't say anything more. She just helped Jia Zhang to start,
Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are preparing for the funeral banquet tonight! ——
At night,
The Jia family has already set up several tables and chairs in the middle courtyard.
Of course,
These were borrowed from neighbors.
It is also the rule of the courtyard,
Generally, when a family has weddings or weddings and their own tables and chairs are not enough, they will ask their neighbors to borrow tables and chairs.
Even...
Just remove the door panel and use it as a table,
As for the Jia family’s funeral banquet in the yard,
All the residents already know this,
Although on weekdays,
They are more or less at odds with the Jia family,
But after all, the deceased is the most important person,
Especially now that the Jia family is missing its backbone, it’s time for them to go through the motions
There is no need to make the relationship too tense!
Soon,
A group of residents came to the central courtyard to prepare for a feast,
And Jia Zhang also specially set up a table in front of the mourning shed in front of her house,
Yan Bugui, a master of calculation, was responsible for keeping accounts.
It’s just that
Although many residents came to Jia's house to have a meal.
But I had known for a long time that not only did Jia Zhang not hire a cook this time, but she also did it herself.
Including prepared ingredients,
It’s also quite cheap, probably less than ten yuan in total!
So,
All the residents also commented that your family would pay 30 cents, and mine would receive 50 cents. They just wanted to say it casually, and they had no intention of giving a penny more!
Seeing this scene, Mrs. Jia Zhang couldn't help but look a little ugly.
Originally she thought,
Through this funeral banquet, the family can earn some money from other residents in the courtyard.
But I didn’t expect that
Each of these residents is more sophisticated than the last, and they are all stingy!
I’m a little annoyed at the moment,
"Dongxu, please open your eyes and see, these people in the courtyard are bullying our family,"
"Everyone wants to come to my house to eat and drink for free and take advantage of my house."
"No,"
"You just gave me such a small amount of money, which is not even enough for the capital."
"What I said today is that each family can only have one person at most, and every additional person will have to pay extra!"
Hearing this,
Many residents are also a little annoyed.
"I said Jia Zhang, have you fallen in the eyes of money?"
"With these meals at your house, if we hadn't seen that we are all neighbors in the same courtyard, do you really think that we would rarely come to your house for dinner?" "That's right,"
"Jia Zhang, you still dare to promote feudal superstition in public, we will report you to Director Wang later and arrest you."
Jia Zhang heard this,
Naturally, I didn’t dare to continue wailing on the ground, so I quickly stood up and patted the dust on my butt,
He stretched out his arms to stop in front of everyone.
"I don't care, you don't want to take advantage of my family anyway,"
"Whoever dares to take advantage of my family, I will put Dongxu's funeral shed at the door of their house in the middle of the night, and let my Dongxu come and talk to you!"
After these words came out, many residents suddenly turned pale.
All I can say is,
Jia Zhang’s idea is really too bad!
It’s the Chinese New Year right now,
Who would want such an unlucky thing to be placed on their doorstep?
The most terrible thing is that they have been neighbors for many years,
They knew that Mrs. Jia Zhang could really do such an immoral thing under impulse!
Finally,
I can only hold my nose and admit this dumb loss!
Soon,
As the residents in the courtyard arrived one after another,
It can be said that
Except for Yi Zhonghai, who was still imprisoned in the police station, people from almost every family in the yard came.
Even the aunt,
For the sake of my family and Jia Dongxu being neighbors for many years,
I also paid a dime of silk money.
However,
Seeing the food brought out by Mrs. Jia Zhang, all the residents couldn't stand it anymore.
I saw that almost all the dishes on the table were vegetarian.
Either Chinese cabbage stewed with radish, or radish fried with Chinese cabbage,
One of the few meat dishes,
They are radish stew, braised fish, and a big pot of chicken soup!
It’s just that
Among the radish stew,
There are only a few thin slices of hairy pork on a plate of white radish, which is not enough to fill a gap in one's teeth!
As for braised fish,
It is also only about the size of a palm, and the flesh is not as much as the thorns on the body!
And chicken soup,
It is also a clear soup with little water, as if you can see to the end at a glance.
There are also a few pieces of chicken bones, necks, chicken feet, etc. floating in it.
"Say Jia Zhang, is this the funeral banquet you prepared?"
"I think your family is just pretending to be fat. If you don't have the ability, you still have to learn how to do funerals."
"I think Jia Zhang just wants to defraud us of our silk money. Otherwise, why would we only let one person from each family come?"
"No, I regret it, Jia Zhang, please refund the money!"
Seeing all the residents protesting, Jia Zhang's face turned completely dark.
Money back?
Not to mention that I had been working for a long time to prepare these tables of dishes, and I almost died of exhaustion.
And I received this little bit of silk gold today,
Take out the cost of buying groceries. I earned three yuan after all the calculations!
If we refund the money to these residents, let alone no one will eat the cooked meals
She still has to pay everything?
"Want to get your money back?"
“If you don’t need money, you need your life!”
"If you can, take away the life of this old woman like me!"
"Anyway, after Dongxu leaves, I don't want to live anymore. If I die early, I can go down and be with Dongxu!"
As he said this, he looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.
And seeing Jia Zhang’s face,
All the residents were once again helpless.
No way,
It is said that those who are bold are afraid of being stunned, and those who are stunned are afraid of losing their lives.
And Jia and Zhang are now,
It can be regarded as being barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes.
I really want to beat the opponent to death,
I and others will have to face a lawsuit and lose my life in vain,
This is so unworthy!
Thinking of this,
All the residents couldn't help but look at each other and sat back down.
Got it,
It's better to sit down and figure out how to get your money back.
