The bangs weighed nearly 250 kilograms, just like a big fat pig, plus four to five hundred kilograms of vegetables, weighing nearly 800 kilograms. The donkey, which was riding backwards, squeaked under the weight, and even the wheel collapsed.
Go down.
This was the guy who ate in the Zhang family. Zhang Manshan was so heartbroken that he was bleeding.
He had suggested Liu Haizhong come down and walk several times, but the only response he received each time was that Liu Haizhong pointed at his face and said: "Apprentice, look at the master who has been so seriously injured, you still want to let him walk, and
I don’t have any conscience at all.”
Zhang Manshan: "..."
When grabbing vegetables just now, Liu Haizhong held an old lady with his left hand and a young man with his right arm. He grabbed the cheapest fresh vegetables among thousands of people. His lively appearance was comparable to that of Silly Zhu in the Siheyuan.
.
Now he is pretending to be sick. Who would believe him?
It's just that Zhang Manshan has no choice. He can't throw his bangs off the donkey riding upside down.
Just like that, Zhang Manshan returned to the courtyard on his donkey at the speed of returning home.
It was already getting dark, and the residents of the courtyard got up one after another to prepare breakfast and face a new day of work.
Yan Bugui, who lived in the front yard, had just washed his face in the middle yard and walked back to the front yard with a washbasin in his hand. He saw Zhang Manshan walking towards the back yard carrying a large bundle of vegetables.
Yan Bugui knew Zhang Manshan. He stopped and asked curiously: "Zhang Manshan, are you in the wrong place? Your home is in the courtyard in the backyard!"
Zhang Manshan was overwhelmed by more than two hundred kilograms of cabbage at this time, but he still stopped and forced out a smile: "Mr. Yan, this is a gift for the master."
"Master...this dish is from Liu Haizhong's family." Yan Bugui then remembered that Liu Haizhong's family was going to hold a wedding banquet.
But Liu Haizhong didn't inform him, and Yan Bugui also pretended not to know, laughed twice, and was about to go back to the house.
At this time, Liu Haizhong found a stick somewhere and walked tremblingly towards this side holding the stick.
Seeing Liu Haizhong's unrecognizable appearance, Yan Bugui took a breath: "Liu Haizhong, did you fight with others to get these vegetables?"
Liu Haizhong: "..."
He felt that he couldn't get over this gag.
Liu Haizhong took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said: "It's okay, Lao Yan, don't you have to go to school early to greet the students? Go back to the house quickly!"
Yan Bugui is a teacher. In these days, children usually start class at eight o'clock. As a teacher, Yan Bugui needs to get to school before seven-thirty, so he leaves the compound a little earlier than ordinary workers.
Yan Bugui was scolded, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Really, let's see you then!"
When Liu Haizhong saw that Yan Bugui had softened, he immediately became energetic and left on crutches.
Yan Bugui is a scheming person, and of course he cannot tolerate being humiliated by Liu Haizhong like this.
After he returned home, he picked up his rice bowl and went to the Liu family next door. The Liu family's daughter-in-law had just helped several children get dressed and was urging the children to eat.
Think about it, how can children be honest, especially several children who fight like crazy while eating, making the house very lively.
The Liu family's daughter-in-law raised her head and saw Yan Bugui standing at the door, feeling a little curious: "Third uncle, why are you here to visit us today?"
In courtyard houses, it is very common for residents to squat in front of their neighbors' homes with bowls and chopsticks in hand every time it is meal time.
Occasionally, we can trade dishes with our neighbors. You eat a piece of radish from me, and I eat a mouthful of cabbage from you. It is very common to visit seven or eight houses and eat seven or eight dishes in one meal.
Except the Yan family.
Yan Bugui is a smart man and lives his life carefully. The side dish in the morning is just a peanut, so he has nothing to exchange with others.
Moreover, he is an old teacher, a cultured person, and a person who cares about face, and he cannot do such things as want to eat other people's food out of spite.
Therefore, Yanbu rarely visits from house to house during meal time, carrying bowls and chopsticks.
The Liu family's daughter-in-law felt a little strange when she saw Yan Bugui coming at this time.
Yan Bugui chuckled and licked his lips in the direction of Liu Haizhong: "Did you see just now that Liu Haizhong asked his little apprentice to carry back a big bag of cabbage? The good guy weighed two to three hundred kilograms, and they
On the donkey that rides backwards, there are also hundreds of kilograms of radishes and various green vegetables."
Hearing this, the Liu family's daughter-in-law was stunned for a moment, then understood, patted her thigh and said, "Okay, Liu Haizhong wants to kill us with radish and cabbage!"
You know, when Liu Haizhong's family buys a banquet, each of them has to pay four yuan as a gift. Four yuan can be enough to eat even in a state-owned restaurant on the street.
Yan Bugui looked at the angry look on Liu's daughter-in-law's face and felt very proud. He pretended to say: "Liu Haizhong didn't invite me to his house for a banquet this time. Don't say that I told you."
Yes, otherwise he should be angry."
"I understand, I understand!" As the Liu family's daughter-in-law spoke, she put down her bowls and chopsticks, ignored the children, and strode out of the house.
Yan Bugui looked at the back of the Liu family's daughter-in-law and narrowed her eyes slightly. This little daughter-in-law was a famous loudspeaker in the courtyard. As long as she knew about it, it would mean that all the residents in the courtyard knew about it.
When the time comes....hehe, there will be big trouble in the bangs.
This is Yan Bugui's style. He doesn't fight you head on, but turns to the back and fires a shot quietly, making you unable to bear it.
After breaking it, Yan Bugui felt that the porridge in the enamel bowl had a special taste, so he quickly returned to the house with the enamel bowl in hand.
The other side.
Just as Yan Bugui expected, Liu Haizhong's daughter-in-law quickly spread the news throughout the compound that Liu Haizhong had bought a large amount of turnips and green vegetables.
When the residents in the compound heard about it, their mouths trembled with anger.
"Are you kidding? We have to pay four yuan as a gift, and Liu Haizhong just sends us away like this?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "What can we do! We have agreed to go to Liu Haizhong's house."
"No, absolutely not, let's go find Liu Haizhong!"
....
Although the residents had to agree to attend the banquet at Liu Haizhong's house because of their dignity, Liu Haizhong went too far this time, and the residents felt exploited.
They quickly gathered almost all the residents in the compound and walked to the backyard in a mighty manner. By this time, Shazhu had already finished his meal and was walking outside with Yu Juhua, preparing to go to work.
Seeing so many residents, Shazhu was stunned. He quickly approached and asked, "What are you guys doing?"
"Oh, Silly Zhu, you may not know that Liu Haizhong bought so many radishes and cabbages..."
The residents all talked and told the whole story. After hearing this, Si Zhu's face changed drastically.
As a cook, he does not need to pay gifts to Liu Haizhong's family, but as a cook, he has to cook.
No matter how good his cooking skills were, there was still no use for him with so many vegetables and radishes in Liu Haizhong.
Besides.
Being a cook requires reputation. As long as a banquet is messed up, no one will ask Silly Zhu to make banquet noodles in the future.
In these days, there are still many cooks in the capital, and competition among cooks is also fierce. Shazhu will never tolerate his reputation being ruined.
He said to Yu Juhua: "Juhua, you go to work first, I have to chat with Liu Haizhong."
"I know, but you must remember not to do anything." Yu Juhua nodded and whispered to Shazhu.
Silly Zhu nodded and said: "Don't worry, I understand."
After saying that, Shazhu turned around and caught up with the army, all the way to Liu Haizhong's house.
At this time, Liu Haizhong directed Zhang Manshan to pile the vegetables he bought under the eaves and was about to let Zhang Manshan go back.
Seeing so many people coming, Liu Haizhong was a little confused for a moment, and quickly waved and called Zhang Manshan back.
If there is any conflict, Zhang Manshan, as his apprentice, can help him block the knife.
Zhang Manshan pouted and complained in his heart. He had been working hard for three or four hours and didn't even care about breakfast. Now he is in trouble and he has to help. Is there such a person as a master?
But he had no choice but to stand aside with his head hanging down. At the same time, he also thought that no matter what happened later, he would not come forward.
By this time, the crowd had gathered at the door of Liu Haizhong's house.
Seeing Liu Haizhong's unrecognizable appearance, the residents who were originally angry couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
"My dear, Liu Haizhong, have you gone to steal someone else's house?"
"Tsk, tsk, in order to save some money, Liu Haizhong went to the suburbs to steal vegetables."
"Did someone tie him to a pillar and beat him?"
....
Listening to these discussions, Liu Haizhong almost cried. Is this gag too hard to get past?
He took a deep breath: "Okay, you guys didn't go to work early in the morning, so why are you gathering around me?"
These words woke up the residents in the courtyard.
The little daughter-in-law of the Liu family took the lead, walked out from the crowd, pointed at Liu Haizhong and said: "Second uncle, your family Guangfu came back. You said it was a big happy event and you wanted to hold a banquet. You invited us to attend. We think everyone is happy."
It's for the sake of the neighbor, so I agreed, but you can't use these carrots and cabbage to get rid of us. If you do this, we will definitely not participate!"
When Liu Haizhong heard this, he immediately became anxious. He even pointed out that he was collecting gifts from these people!
But before he could quibble, Silly Zhu stepped forward: "Second uncle, I tell you in advance, if you don't get ten pounds of pork on the day of the banquet, I won't help you make this banquet noodles."
After saying that, he no longer paid attention to bangs, turned around and left.
The residents quarreled around Liu Haizhong for a while and then left one after another.
soon.
In front of the Liu family's house, Liu Haizhong is the only one left.
He slapped his forehead suddenly: "How can we do this? How can we do this?"
The second aunt watched the whole process in the room, walked forward, and whispered: "Haizhong, we really went too far this time. Even if it is difficult for people to buy a banquet, they still have to have meat. How about you?"
Just try to get some meat?"
Liu Haizhong patted his thigh and said, "It's not that I don't want to buy meat. It's just that the supply of pork is so tight right now. Even with a meat ticket, you can't buy it. Let alone our family doesn't have a meat ticket yet. If we go to the pigeon market to buy meat,
If you do, you have to pay a high price, ten pounds of pork costs twenty yuan..."
Liu Haizhong also felt aggrieved.
The second aunt saw his look and sighed softly: "Old Liu, even if we bought meat at a high price, we still make money this time. You just have to find a way to buy ten pounds of meat from the pigeon market, otherwise the residents will
If you don’t come to hand over the gift money, and if Silly Zhu doesn’t come to help with the cooking, then you’ll be in trouble.”
Liu Haizhong was forced to have no choice but to nod lightly.
It's just that it's getting dark now, and the people in the pigeon market have already dispersed, so we can only wait until tomorrow.
Liu Haizhong looked at Zhang Manshan and said, "Apprentice, at two o'clock tomorrow morning, you take the master to the pigeon market."
Zhang Manshan: "..."
Although he was unwilling, he still agreed.
Early in the morning on the third day.
Liu Haizhong thought about going to the pigeon market to buy meat, so he got up at two o'clock.
Just like yesterday morning, he dressed neatly and left the house with his bangs smeared. As soon as he went out, he hesitated for a moment, then turned back to the house and put the flashlight in his pocket.
Liu Haizhong then strode to the courtyard next door.
Even with the flashlight shining this time, Liu Haizhong did not dare to cross the threshold. He always felt that the threshold was his nemesis.
Bangzhong pulled his neck and shouted twice.
Zhang Manshan, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up. He was unwilling to do so and had to get up from the kang.
When he came outside and saw Liu Haizhong standing outside the courtyard, Zhang Manshan shook his head: "Master, why don't you come in?"
"Why do you have so many things to do? Hurry up and push the donkey out and follow me to the pigeon market."
"Okay..." As a disciple, Zhang Manshan didn't even have the right to complain, so he could only push the donkey backwards and leave the courtyard.
After loading Liu Haizhong, Zhang Manshan pedaled hard on the donkey backwards and drove slowly towards the pigeon market.
What?
Why not hurry up.
Liu Haizhong's injury hasn't healed yet. Every time he goes faster, he screams in pain.
The speed of riding a donkey backwards was almost the same as walking. By the time the two arrived at the pigeon market, it was already nearly five o'clock and the sky was already getting bright.
Because the pigeon market is located in a small alley with narrow roads, it is impossible for a donkey to ride in, so Zhang Manshan could only park the donkey outside.
He got off his bangs and rode the donkey backwards, turned around and walked towards Pigeon City. After taking two steps, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
He turned his head and looked at Zhang Manshan who was still staying there and said, "Why don't you go in? Who will help me carry the meat out later?"
Good guy, a seventh-level blacksmith who wields a sledgehammer all day long can't even carry ten pounds of meat...
Zhang Manshan curled his lips cryptically and said: "Master, my reverse-riding donkey does not have a wire lock. What if it is parked outside and someone steals it?"
Liu Haizhong heard that it was really the case. The price of a donkey riding backwards was about the same as that of a bicycle. Besides, there were generally not many good people who came to visit the pigeon market.
Parking it outside without anyone watching it is like giving it away to someone else.
"Then you wait for me outside. I'll come out after I buy the meat." Liu Haizhong held the money in his hand and limped toward the pigeon market with a wooden stick.
Outside.
Zhang Manshan waited for a while, but saw no bangs coming out. Feeling a little bored, he took out a cigarette from his pocket, struck a match and lit it.
Just after taking two puffs, he heard a burst of trivial footsteps in the distance. Zhang Manshan turned his head to look, and was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. The cigarette butt fell from his fingers and fell to the ground.
