Chapter 226 The Old Man Plays with Jia Zhangshi
Seeing that Chen Feng agreed without any hesitation, Director Wang was happy, but he also felt a little guilty about asking him to go up the mountain as the New Year was coming soon.
"Wait a few days, and I'll bring you something good."
What good stuff can you have?
Chen Feng wasn't looking forward to it very much.
The guests had all left, the wild boars had been divided up, and some had stayed behind.
Jia Banggeng and Meng Xiaoxing stared at Chen Hao and Chen Li. Chen Li held two cans tightly, while Chen Hao held the other two. They waited at the door eagerly for Chen Feng to finish his business.
Chen Feng came out and saw Director Wang off from the compound.
Widow Meng was about to step forward, but Jia Zhangshi Zhang Cuihua took the lead and walked up to the old man and said, "Brother Chen."
"No, don't call me big brother. I'm not worthy of being your big brother." The old man said quickly: "Just call me Chen Yuhu."
Jia Zhang was slightly embarrassed, and she reorganized her words and said, "Then I will call you uncle."
"No, no!"
The old man shook his head and said, "Yi Zhonghai is your uncle!"
Well, that makes a lot of sense!
Why do I always feel that there is something wrong with this sentence!
A group of people pondered over this sentence, with something wrong in their eyes.
Jia Zhang had no choice but to say, "Chen Yuhu, it's like this, I want to borrow some..."
"I can't lend it to you. You know my family is building an army, and I have many comrades to take care of. There are still many debts that have not been collected yet."
The old man didn't wait for her to finish, interrupted and sighed: "At the beginning, we agreed to return it within a year, but year after year, you never return it."
"But there's nothing we can do. It's difficult for everyone!"
Jia Zhang's face turned black. Time and time again, the old man was deliberately playing with her!
The old man smiled and asked, "I heard from Sha Zhu that your daughter-in-law borrowed a fish from them in November. This half-pound crucian carp was borrowed from us by Sha Zhu. Has your family returned it?"
Jia Zhang was dumbfounded!
What the hell!
My daughter-in-law borrowed the money based on her own ability, so why should she pay it back?
"Zhang Cuihua, you didn't return it?" The old man shook his head and said, "That won't do. You have to return things you borrow, not to mention that it's flesh. If you don't return it, who will lend it to you?"
"Did Shazhu lend you money?"
The old man looked at Qin Huairu and asked with a smile.
"Have you paid it back?"
Qin Huairu was very embarrassed, her face turned red, and she felt like her face was swollen.
It's so embarrassing that it has spread to the next yard.
He wanted to leave by pulling Zhang Cuihua.
She had wanted to "borrow" one from Chen Feng before, but Chen Feng was not fooled at all.
Many times I went to the vegetable market early in the morning in the cold wind to queue up, but in the end I couldn't even buy a stinky fish.
In the end, I had to borrow from Sha Zhu.
Now that it's brought up by the old man, it's really embarrassing.
"Hehe!" Meng Xiaoxing couldn't help laughing.
Several people present shook their heads.
They actually came here to borrow some meat as well, and now they are thankful that Zhang Cuihua was faster, otherwise, they would be the ones to be embarrassed.
Jia Banggeng's face turned red with shame.
Children have strong self-esteem.
Jia Zhang was so angry that she didn't dare to argue in front of everyone. She found that her eloquence and fighting ability were no match for the old man.
After comprehensive assessment, she decided to make a strategic shift.
"We can't buy fish at the market, so when we can, we will definitely return it."
She actually still has her dignity to save now. It's not like after Jia Dongxu dies. For the sake of her family's good food, she can allow Qin Huairu to wander between men and turn a blind eye to her affairs. As long as she doesn't bring a man home, she won't care.
He glared at Meng Xiaoxing fiercely, and even transferred most of his anger towards the old man to her.
"Let's go back!"
The corners of Chen Feng's mouth twitched.
Judging from the personalities of these bored aunties, rumors will probably spread again tomorrow. Who knows how they will make up a story about Qin Huairu borrowing fish from Sha Zhu.
"Uncle Chen, we want to exchange some meat. You can even use money to exchange it." Widow Meng whispered.
The old man wanted to refuse.
Chen Feng said, "Xu Damao's family has a dressing table. Can you give it to my sister?"
Before Xu Damao got married, Chen Feng went into the room to take a look.
The workmanship of the dressing table was average, but the material seemed to be rosewood, a high-grade wood.
Huanghuali is the main material for hardwood furniture in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is highly favored by craftsmen in the Ming and Qing Dynasties because of its yellow color, fine material, soft texture and sweet fragrance. It is recognized as the most noble material for furniture and wood carvings in the world.
Since red sandalwood and huanghuali grow slowly, they are still too thick to be held in one hand even after a hundred years. In addition, the predatory logging by the rulers of the Ming and Qing dynasties caused the raw materials to become increasingly scarce by the late Qing Dynasty, and are now extremely rare.
"You want that stand?" Widow Meng calculated in her mind and said, "I can give it to Little Lily, but you have to give me three pounds of meat."
"Row!"
Chen Feng smiled and nodded.
"Mom, I'll go move it!"
Meng Xiaoxing excitedly pulled Meng Xiaozao home to move the dressing table.
In order to prevent them from falling, Chen Feng winked at Hu Bayi.
"Let's go and help!" Hu Bayi pulled Fatty Wang and went to Compound No. 95.
After Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang brought the dressing table over, Chen Feng cut three pounds of meat, weighed it, and gave it to Widow Meng.
"Aunt Meng, remember, this meat is a gift from us to you."
"Also, don't tell anyone about this."
Although everyone is exchanging in private, it is always better to be low-key.
The old man squinted at the dressing table, smiled and said nothing.
Chen Feng is taking advantage of the fact that Xu Damao is not at home, and Widow Meng is a person who doesn't know what's good.
If Xu Damao were here, with his cleverness, he would definitely doubt the value of this dressing table.
Of course, Xu Damao didn’t really know what value was, otherwise he wouldn’t have given such expensive antique furniture from the mid-Qing Dynasty to Widow Meng.
"Big pot, is this mine?" Chen Li asked happily, grabbing two cans.
"Well, I give it to you!"
Chen Feng said with a smile, placing the dressing table in front of his kang.
The little girl followed him in and followed him out.
A complete little follower.
When he came to the kitchen, he prepared to cook the pig's head.
Chen Hao kicked Fatty Wang.
Fatty Wang asked cheekily, "Brother, can we open a can?"
He ate canned food.
Chen Feng used a small sharpener to shave the hair off the wild boar's head.
"Is your family still lacking this thing?"
Although his father's rank is not high, his grandfather's rank is high enough.
Wang Kaixuan said depressedly: "Of course we are short of it. Our family consumes several bottles a year."
Chen Feng was stunned for a few seconds.
The deputy director of the Sijiucheng branch is at the deputy-department level, but he can’t eat too many canned foods?
Come to think of it, it's really possible!
No matter what era, those who don't follow the rules always gain the upper hand, while the honest people are always the ones who get hurt.
His grandfather is an upright person, so he naturally doesn't eat more than a few cans a year. Otherwise, he might eat a few cans every month. What's the problem?
"Eat it, half a can per person, open the cans, and save the remaining two for tomorrow!"
"Thank you Cauldron!"
"Thank you, brother!"
Wang Kaixuan couldn't wait to say, "Haozi, turn away."
There was no way Chen Li would give them to him. The little girl took the two cans directly to the study and planned to hide them in her own small cabinet.
