In the TV series, once Sha Zhu stopped working at Lou Xiao'e's restaurant, the family started eating noodles for every meal.
It's still plain noodles; there's no meat in the gravy.
Even if Xiao Dang and Huaihua are both unemployed, and Sha Zhu is also laid off, they are all relying on Qin Huairu's retirement pension to support the entire courtyard.
But didn't Uncle Yi and Uncle Er give all their retirement pensions to Qin Huairu?
Qin Jingru also eats here every meal. She is a civil servant with a high monthly salary. Would Qin Huairu let her eat for free?
However, once the money entered Qin Huairu's pocket, it was as if it had entered the belly of a mythical creature. With these terms, take it or leave it...
Speaking of "bang" jokes, the "bang" jokes in TV dramas are awesome.
He drives for a national ministry, always dressed in a leather jacket or a suit, and he also has such a beautiful wife.
Sha Zhu found him the job, but when Sha Zhu fell on hard times and everyone else was eating noodles every day, he didn't have a single penny to his name.
You think you can get a Korean guy to pay you?!
"..."
After Qin Huairu learned that Huaihua had married Yu Qian and was working at Xu Damao's parts factory, the Jia family started eating noodles every day.
Why? Why is it that Huaihua, who lives a life of luxury and wealth, only gets a meager 40 yuan a month? Is there such a thing as this?
A family of three lives on 40 yuan a month. They're lucky if they can even afford noodles! What else could they possibly want? Donkey meat?
Some clever people thought that Qin Huairu had already retired and should be receiving a retirement pension.
Based on the birth dates on her marriage certificate with Sha Zhu that she showed off in the TV series, she is only 51 years old now. Why should she receive a retirement pension?
In the hot processing industry, men retire at 55 and women at 50.
Jealousy, coupled with a severe psychological imbalance, made Qin Huairu increasingly show signs of becoming abnormal.
Banggeng didn't want to see her face, and he didn't want to eat noodles either, but he had no choice but to dawdle and walk home.
As he was walking, he suddenly heard someone call out to him from behind: "Bang Geng?"
Turning around abruptly, the person recognized him and excitedly rushed over, saying, "It really is you! I knew it looked like you."
Banggeng's mouth dropped open: "A smiling tiger?"
During that special campaign to crack down on corruption, Banggeng was arrested, and the smiling tiger in front of us has also disappeared without a trace.
This guy was clever; when he heard the news that Golden Tiger was gone, he went into hiding. No one has seen him since.
Seven years have passed since the end of 1976, and I never expected to meet him here today.
Bang Geng was wondering to himself, what's going on this year? Is it a good time for missing persons to come back? Why are they all popping up one after another?
"Meeting an old friend again," Smiling Tiger seemed very happy: "Don't linger here, come on, come on, I'll treat you to a meal!"
When Banggeng heard that he was going to treat everyone to a meal, he immediately went with him, leaving the lousy noodles for his mother and grandmother to eat!
This time, Bang Geng didn't dare go to Qili Pavilion again, but by sheer coincidence, he ended up at the restaurant owned by Yan Jiecheng's family—Chunfeng Food Stall.
The renovation of Yan Jiecheng's new store is almost complete, and he should move there next month.
It won't be called a street food stall anymore; he's already thought of a name for it: "Spring Breeze Restaurant."
Sha Zhu is still cooking for him. Although Ran Qiuye promised to invest in him, opening a restaurant is not an easy task.
He had previously hinted to Yu Li that he wanted Xiao Dang.
As the saying goes, "Brothers fight tigers together, and fathers and sons go to war together." Since Sha Zhu wanted to go it alone, he urgently needed Xiao Dang, who knew how to run a business and manage, to help him. Yu Li couldn't refuse.
She asked Xiao Dang, and the girl was eager to try, but she was worried that she lacked experience and might embarrass herself.
Yu Li reassured her, saying, "That's your silly dad, what are you afraid of?"
Xiao Dang sighed: "But Teacher Ran paid for the restaurant. If we lose money, she might not blame my stupid dad, but she will definitely blame me."
Yu Li pinched her big face: "You've been learning from me for so long, if you can't even manage a small restaurant, then don't call yourself my apprentice anymore, so as not to embarrass me!"
"..."
Among the Five Tigers of Red Star, Yang Weimin needs no introduction; he's truly a remarkable figure.
He was unpredictable, suspicious, and acted on a whim. No one could fathom his thoughts, yet he was also adept at managing his subordinates. Back then, when Bang Geng faced him, he didn't dare to even breathe loudly.
Golden Tiger is also a character that I'd rather not mention.
He's just like that guy who "never looks up when walking and never bows his head when offering incense"—he's mentally ill.
He'd start a fight at the drop of a hat, and he'd kill them! Banggeng had personally witnessed him smashing someone's hand with a hammer; he still couldn't forget that scene…
The most unpredictable one is this smiling tiger.
In terms of fighting, he probably couldn't even beat Liu Guangtian; and in terms of money, he doesn't seem to be as rich as Jinmaohu.
Yet this unassuming fellow actually had the most men under his command.
Moreover, those people all respected him; even Haozi and Daxiang were recruited by Xiaomianhu. This made Yang Weimin hesitant to fully trust him, yet he had no choice but to rely on him.
The smiling tiger was clearly a regular customer: "Brother, don't let the unassuming storefront fool you, the Sichuan cuisine here is absolutely authentic!"
After saying that, he started ordering food skillfully, not giving Bang Geng a chance at all: "Waiter, let's order! Stir-fried liver tips, twice-cooked pork, spicy chicken cubes, fish-flavored eggplant, and tomato and egg soup."
The waiter asked what kind of wine he would like to drink, but the smiling tiger waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need any.
After the waiter left, he took out a bottle of Erguotou from his pocket, bit off the cap with his teeth, poured a glass for Banggeng first, and then poured one for himself.
The two bumped into each other first, and then Smiling Tiger explained to Bang Geng: "Brother, don't underestimate Sichuan cuisine just because it seems simple. There are many different styles; there's Beijing style, Shanghai style, seafood Sichuan cuisine, and even Sichuan cuisine from beyond the Great Wall. This is authentic Beijing style Sichuan cuisine!"
At this point, Smiling Tiger paused for a moment: "Do you know who their cook is?"
The cook? Bang Geng had no idea. He shook his head blankly like a fool: "I don't know."
The smiling tiger smiled mysteriously: "What a coincidence! He's that silly Zhu from the old Red Star Factory's third canteen!"
Sha Zhu? Bang Geng lost his appetite as soon as he heard that name. How could he possibly cook?
In the past, he wouldn't have eaten here; he felt ashamed!
But who told "Brother Geng" to be down on his luck now? He doesn't have a penny in his pocket, and he's lucky if someone treats him to a meal. How can he be so picky?
