Chapter 55 Jia Family Banquet
"When my father passed away, your Jia family sent Qin Huairu to serve the dishes. I remember."
"I also remember that the Jia family gave a gift of three cents and brought all five of them to the feast. Not only did they eat and take things, they also stole things from my house and brought them back."
"The Jia family has done a great job. Everyone should follow their example and give a gift of three cents, and then the whole family can have a good meal."
Chen Jianye said loudly.
"Chen Jianye, you are talking nonsense! I will tear your mouth apart!"
Jia Zhang was anxious.
If everyone followed the example of the Jia family, she would lose a lot of money if she hosted the banquet.
Three cents is enough for everything.
"It's recorded in my family's gift book. Do you want to ask someone from the compound to come and take a look?"
Chen Jianye sneered.
"I won't tell you anymore, you are a heartless person!"
Jia Zhang's chest heaved with anger and she fled in panic.
"Immortal."
Chen Jianye looked at Jia Zhang's back with a gloomy look.
Originally, after killing Jia Dongxu, he wanted to take a break for a while and wait until his locksmith and cooking skills reached level three before doing anything else.
People died too frequently in the compound, which easily caused panic and attracted the attention of the police.
It is not conducive for Chen Jianye to kill them one by one.
Now Chen Jianye could no longer suppress the murderous intent in his heart.
After closing the door, he returned to the dining table and continued eating.
Jia Zhang suffered a loss in front of Chen's door and ran to the backyard, still feeling indignant.
"Damn it! My son must have been dragged down by Old Chen. The Chen family is nothing but a bunch of bastards."
"I haven't asked to borrow the coal briquettes yet."
"Just wait, you will be in trouble sooner or later!"
Jia Zhang cursed at the air, venting her dissatisfaction.
After cursing for a while, Jia Zhang felt a little better and went to the backyard to invite people to a banquet.
Except for Chen Jianye, all the residents in the compound gave face to the Jia family.
After all, death is a big deal.
This traditional thinking is deeply rooted and will not change in the short term.
All hatred and grudges will be wiped out when the person dies.
noon the next day.
After finishing his work, Chen Jianye cleaned up his workbench and walked out of the workshop.
"Hey, Jianye, you're going to attend the Jia family's banquet too, right?"
Yi Zhonghai shouted.
"Not participating."
Chen Jianye replied.
"Jianye, it is better to resolve a feud than to create one. The Jia family has been unfair to your Chen family before, but we have returned those items in the end."
Yi Zhonghai persuaded.
"Will you pay for the gift?"
Chen Jianye said unhappily.
"Look at you, how do you talk like a young man?"
Yi Zhonghai felt a little embarrassed.
"Why are you so eager to persuade me to pay? I thought the money would go into your pocket."
Chen Jianye speaks very hurtfully.
Yi Zhonghai always does this, spending other people's money to build a reputation for himself.
Chen Jianye hates this kind of people the most.
Yi Zhonghai remained silent.
The two of them went back together, in silence all the way.
There was nothing wrong on the road, so Chen Jianye opened the panel.
Name: Chen Jianye
Skills: Yang Style Tai Chi (Perfect)
Cooking Level 2 Experience Points 45/500
Fitter LV2 Experience Value 423/1000
Chen Jianye felt very comfortable when he saw how the experience in the locksmith industry was accumulated.
People don’t actually hate working, they just hate working for others.
He can now gain about 100 points of experience by working all day and studying at night.
It only takes six working days to upgrade the benchwork skill to LV3.
And a round of lottery will start.
It is worth looking forward to.
Although his cooking skills were improving a bit slowly, Chen Jianye was not very anxious.
The main reason is that there are too few dishes for him to practice on.
You should try different cooking methods so that your cooking experience can grow faster.
He has no chance now and can only speed up the experience of locksmith.
Return to the courtyard.
Chen Jianye saw Yan Fugui sitting at a table in the middle courtyard with a gift book in front of him.
"Hey, Jianye, are you attending the Jia family's banquet today?"
Yan Fugui said with a smile.
"Not participating."
Chen Jianye said with a cold face.
“It’s fine not to participate.”
Yan Fugui smiled and consciously did not try to persuade him.
This is where Yan Fugui’s cleverness lies.
It is true that he takes advantage, but he only says nice things which makes people happy.
Chen Jianye glanced at the yard.
At this time, the guests who were supposed to be at the table had already taken their seats, and the place was bustling and noisy.
Sha Zhu stood in front of the steamer, staring at the fire.
The fried dishes are placed on the wooden board.
There are fried black fungus, fried shredded potatoes, and fried cabbage.
There are two meat dishes, one is scrambled eggs with cucumber, and the other is fried meat with lentils.
But the meat in the bowl was like stars in the sky, one by one.
Too few.
The steam from the dishes in the steamer floated in the yard.
Chen Jianye took a sniff and didn't smell any meaty smell.
"Mrs. Jia is really stingy. Fortunately, I didn't attend the Jia family's banquet."
Chen Jianye thought to himself.
There is a saying that is really true.
Dogs cannot change shit.
Jia Zhang loves to take advantage of others, how could such a person allow others to take advantage of her?
Chen Jianye shook his head and entered the Chen family.
He also had to prepare his own lunch.
The courtyard is very lively.
Sha Zhu took a whole morning off to host a banquet for the Jia family.
Although there are many vegetarian dishes, Shazhu tries his best to make them well.
Soon, as the dishes in the steamer were ready, Sha Zhu gave an order and Liu Haizhong called on Liu Guangtian, Yan Jiecheng and others to help bring the dishes to the table.
When the dishes were served, everyone looked unhappy.
There is too little meat.
Even with Sha Zhu's cooking skills, dishes without meat are not appetizing.
The main reason was that the previous banquet hosted by the Chen family was too sumptuous, which raised everyone's expectations for the banquet hosted by the Jia family.
If Jia Dongxu walked in front of the Chen family, everyone would be able to accept the high-quality banquet in front of them.
Compared with the banquet hosted by the Chen family before, the banquet hosted by the Jia family was really bad.
"I am very grateful to everyone for taking the time to come and attend the banquet hosted by my Jia family today."
Qin Huairu was busy greeting guests.
The guests sitting at the table responded with smiles, saying things like the Jia family had made a good arrangement.
A few words of flattery.
"Everyone, enjoy your meal. You're welcome."
"Everyone who was supposed to come has come, and I am very happy. If some people don't come, I don't mind it."
"That person has lost his conscience, and he will definitely be punished in the future!"
Jia Zhang also shouted with a look of joy on her face.
He cursed someone specifically.
She saw Chen Jianye coming back.
As a result, Chen Jianye did not come to the banquet, but hid in the house.
Jia Zhang was really furious.
This time no one responded.
Everyone knew who Jia Zhang was talking about. Chen Jianye was staying in the room. If anyone responded to Jia Zhang's words, it would be a clear provocation to Chen Jianye.
After everyone sat down to eat, Jia Zhang ran to Yan Fugui and made faces.
"Just let me finish my meal, and then I'll settle the bill with you."
Yan Fugui held the bowl in his hand and immediately guessed Jia Zhang's intention.
"Give me a rough estimate of how much money you received."
Jia Zhang felt uneasy and wanted to get to the bottom of the matter.
"About ten dollars?"
Yan Fugui said uncertainly.
"That's all?"
Jia Zhang's eyes almost popped out and her breathing became heavy.
The Jia family set up eight tables for the banquet!
Although Jia Zhang saved a lot and even borrowed pots, pans, and honeycomb coal, she only bought two taels of meat and eight eggs.
But when it is evenly distributed, the cost per table is more than one yuan.
After this calculation, the Jia family not only failed to make money, but also lost money.
"You should lose money when you hold a funeral. Why do you still want to make money?"
Liu Haizhong said unhappily.
Weddings and funerals are both big events.
Jia Dongxu died young, so this is not a happy funeral. If everyone can come, it will be a huge honor for the Jia family.
"That's not the case. I just think the gift money I received is a little too little."
Jia Zhang looked unhappy.
"Then wait until Old Yan finishes his meal and I'll settle the bill with you. Why are you in such a hurry?"
Liu Haizhong said unhappily.
After being scolded twice in a row, Jia Zhang left with her arms swung and a gloomy face.
She looked around deliberately to see how many people each family brought.
Both the Liu family and the Yan family sent out their entire families.
There is not enough space for one table just for these two families.
"Eat, eat, eat. Why don't I eat you to death?"
Jia Zhang gritted her teeth in anger, thinking about waiting and seeing how much gift money the Yan and Liu families had given.
If she didn't send enough, she would go to the doors of these two houses and curse at them.
