The battle of wits and courage between Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui started as soon as they became the three managers of the courtyard, and until now, no one has been able to decide the winner.
"Guangfu, come here quickly."
After scolding Yan Fugui, Liu Haizhong immediately called his second son, Liu Guangfu.
"Dad, what's the matter?" Liu Guangfu walked over stupidly.
"Hey, take these two dollars and buy a few bottles of beer."
Liu Haizhong took out two dollars, which was a whole dollar higher than Yan Fugui's. His belly was a little bigger, and he deliberately straightened it in front of Yi Zhonghai.
"Little bastard, don't spend your money on anything else on the way. Buy me beer. Do you hear me?"
"I heard you, Dad."
Although he couldn't buy anything else, Liu Guangfu still happily took the money. When he was about to leave, Yi Zhonghai also spoke.
"Guangfu, please buy me a few bottles and bring them back."
Yi Zhonghai took out three yuan and waved it in front of Liu Haizhong as if unintentionally: "Here, three yuan, take it. Come back immediately after buying the wine. Don't knock or bump the wine on the way."
"I understand, uncle."
Liu Guangfu never thought that he would have five yuan in his hand one day. He happily called Yan Jiefang: "Come on, Yan Er, let's go buy some wine."
Yan Jiefang was still looking at Yan Fugui at this time. He thought that Yan Fugui would also be able to take out some more money. However, when Yan Fugui saw that Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong took out more money, he rolled his eyes and turned his head away without even mentioning to pay more to buy more wine.
Jia Dongsheng saw all of this and was in a good mood. It was much better for these three old guys to bleed a little than for him to bleed alone and treat everyone to meat.
Soon, as the seasoning was sprinkled on the meat, the aroma of barbecue instantly began to spread in the yard.
Even though there was smoke everywhere, no one in the yard suggested going home and coming back later. Instead, they were all choked by the smoke, but still eagerly waiting to eat meat.
"Wow, this smells so good!"
Suddenly, a familiar voice called out exaggeratedly, and then Xu Damao led Lou Xiao'e into the middle courtyard.
"Xu Damao?"
Sha Zhu was more familiar with Xu Damao's voice than his father He Daqing's. He had just finished grilling a bunch of beef skewers when he saw Xu Damao and couldn't help but complain, "I didn't see him come back yesterday. How come I see him as soon as I eat meat?"
"Uncle One, Uncle Two, Uncle Three, and the big guy, what are you doing? Why are you all gathered in the middle courtyard? Aren't you here to smell the aroma and go to the bar?"
Well, this one sentence offended almost everyone in the courtyard.
Isn't it obvious that everyone in the courtyard can't afford to eat meat and can only satisfy their cravings by smelling the aroma of meat from other people's homes?
"Da Mao, stop talking nonsense."
Yi Zhonghai glanced at Xu Damao unhappily: "You're about to get married, why are you still acting like a child? You should be more mature!"
"Today is Dongsheng, let's invite our neighbors to have a roasted whole wolf meal together. If you don't know, don't talk nonsense."
"Roast a whole wolf?"
Xu Damao didn't care about what Yi Zhonghai said. Instead, he became curious when he heard this word he had never heard of before, and looked towards the source of the fragrance involuntarily.
"Dongsheng, what is roasted whole wolf? Why haven't I heard of it?"
"Yes, Dongsheng, what is roasted whole wolf? Is it the same as roasted whole lamb?" Lou Xiao'e also followed her husband's lead and asked after Xu Damao.
"You'll know when you come and see."
Jia Dongsheng, who was roasting a wolf, looked up and greeted them, asking them to come over and take a look.
"Come on, Xiao'e, let's go and take a look."
Xu Damao led Lou Xiao'e to Jia Dongsheng's grill. Lou Xiao'e looked at the terrifying wolf head, covered her mouth, and said in surprise, "How ugly!"
"Haha... This is a wolf's head. It would be strange if it looks good."
Sha Zhu, who was standing nearby, came over carrying a skewer of grilled meat. "Xu Damao, you were born in the Year of the Dog, right? How come you have such a keen nose?"
"I wonder if you can catch up and eat meat when we have a roasted whole wolf dinner in the courtyard today."
"That's right, don't you see who I am? What good thing can befall me?"
Xu Damao refuted with a smug look on his face, but then he realized that Sha Zhu was scolding him, and he couldn't help but yelled angrily: "Sha Zhu, who are you calling a dog?"
"Guess who I'm scolding?"
Glancing at Xu Damao, Sha Zhu said to Jia Dongsheng, "Dongsheng, take a look at the skewers I grilled. Are they cooked?"
"Well, let me take a look."
Jia Dongsheng didn't care about the bickering between the two enemies. He reached out and took the skewers. He took out a skewer and took a bite of the meat. After chewing it twice, he said, "It's cooked. It's ready to eat."
"Silly Zhu, sprinkle some chili powder on it to make it more fragrant."
"Come on, Damao, Xiao'e. It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. Take two skewers each." Jia Dongsheng took the skewers and gave them to Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e.
"Thank you Dongsheng, I'm drooling just looking at it."
Lou Xiao'e was a very straightforward person. She didn't hesitate or act pretentiously. She took it directly, expressed her gratitude, and started eating.
"Hmm, delicious, really fragrant, is this beef?"
"It's beef. It's delicious. Eat more later. There's also wolf meat."
Jia Dongsheng said with a smile, then looked at Sha Zhu: "Sha Zhu, send the skewers to the uncle and the others, and tell them that the wolf meat will take a while."
“It’s delicious. So delicious.”
Xu Damao took two bites and was immediately won over. He couldn't help but say, "Dongsheng, this barbecue smells so good. I didn't know about this today, otherwise I would have asked my father-in-law to get some meat back and grill it together."
"Haha, don't worry, there will be another chance next time."
"Hey, let's do this, Dongsheng."
Xu Damao suddenly thought of something and said, "How about we have a barbecue on the day Xiao'e and I get married?"
"You want to get married and have a barbecue?"
Jia Dongsheng looked at Xu Damao with a very strange look. Could a barbecue wedding be held sixty years ago? Isn't it a bit too avant-garde?
"Da Mao is right, Dongsheng, how about we use barbecue as the banquet when we get married?"
Lou Xiao'e also felt that Xu Damao's proposal was very consistent with her ideas. She took another bite of the skewers while speaking and nodded heavily: "It smells so good. If we can have barbecue at our wedding, that would be so happy."
"Isn't this a complete foodie?"
Looking at Lou Xiaoe, Jia Dongsheng complained in his heart, then said, "It's not impossible, but do you have anything to barbecue?"
"Hey, this isn't that simple."
Xu Damao patted his chest generously and said, "Dongsheng, if you think you need anything for the barbecue, just tell me directly, and I'll tell my father-in-law, and we'll take care of everything."
Well, having a father-in-law who is a wealthy man, one can indeed be so arrogant.
