Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Chapter 115 The Role of Yan Bugui
The next few days were relatively peaceful. Occasionally, there were quarrels among everyone, but Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui would come out and say a few words and the matter would be resolved.

After all, they are just liaisons, so everyone should give them face.

He Yuzhu introduced a new dish, boiled fish, which is a common dish in later generations, and the recipe is available online. He did not know the history of boiled fish, but just saw the restaurant bought grass carp and said something about it.

After hearing this, Wu Bangming asked him to make it. After it was made, it was praised by Wu Bangming and Manager Zhao for its characteristics of being oily but not greasy, spicy but not dry, numb but not bitter, and tender meat.

After discussion, the two decided to make this boiled fish one of the signature dishes of Emei Hotel, and He Yuzhu became the spokesperson for this signature dish.

After Manager Zhao's recommendation, many diners fell in love with this dish, and boiled fish became a must-order dish for many diners.

He Yuzhu's salary also increased a little, and he could get 600,000 yuan every month. After the salary increase, He Yuzhu bought some things to honor Wu Bangming. This time, Wu Bangming did not refuse, but just told him not to be so extravagant in the future.

Just when He Yuzhu was about to take He Yushui home, his mistress suddenly stopped him and said, "Zhuzi, don't mention the cellar to Teacher Yan in your courtyard whenever you see him. You didn't want the cellar in the first place."

Wu Bangming thought for a moment and said, "What your mistress said is right. There are not many good people in your courtyard, but it is Yi Zhonghai who is targeting your family. You should make more friends and fewer enemies.

You can try to win him over appropriately."

He Yuzhu smiled and explained: "Master, this matter is not that simple. Yan Bugui has no position at all. As long as you give him benefits, he will betray. No matter how hard I try to win him over, it will be useless."

The master's wife asked in confusion: "Then don't offend him. If you do this, won't you be pushing him towards Yi Zhonghai?"

Normally this is true, and in practice this is also the case.

For ordinary people, try not to offend those who have an unsteady stance.

This situation is different for Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui has no stance. If he is given benefits, he will betray. Sometimes he will play both sides.

Even if he offended Yi Zhonghai, Yan Bugui would not easily side with Yi Zhonghai unless Yi Zhonghai gave him enough benefits.

He let Yan Bugui take the blame and mentioned it from time to time to let Yan Bugui remember this lesson.

After Yan Bugui remembered this lesson, he would not think of taking revenge on He Yuzhu, but would ask for more money when Yi Zhonghai tried to win him over.

The purpose of doing this is to increase the difficulty for Yi Zhonghai.

After He Yuzhu explained this, Wu Bangming understood: "Are you so sure that Yi Zhonghai will be fooled?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "He will definitely be fooled. Yan Bugui lives in the front yard and is the most informed person in the yard. If Yi Zhonghai wants to control the courtyard, he must rely on Yan Bugui.

Liu Haizhong in the backyard was not very smart, and he often felt that he was not appreciated for his talent. He often wanted to usurp the throne. Yi Zhonghai had to suppress him.

Therefore, Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to win over Yan Bugui even though he knew that Yan Bugui would take advantage of him. "

The master's wife opened her mouth wide, turned around and glared at Wu Bangming: "Back then, you robbed houses for the Qing Dynasty, how come you robbed such a beast's nest."

Wu Bangming said with some injustice: "I heard that the yard was the house of a high-ranking official and it was well maintained. We thought we would take a good one if we wanted to occupy it. Who could have thought that the people who moved into the yard were a bunch of beasts."

He Yuzhu said: "This is also normal. A good courtyard will naturally attract many people."

When Wu Bangming heard what He Yuzhu said, he said, "Look, it's not our responsibility!"

The master's wife sighed and said, "It's too late to say anything now. You must take good care of Yu Shui and don't let her get bullied."

He Yuzhu nodded: "I will take good care of her."

The mistress pointed at He Yushui, who had become as fat as a ball, and said, "You can tell by looking at Yushui's appearance."

He Yushui knew that she was fat, and immediately pulled the master's wife's arm in dissatisfaction. The master's wife teased her for a while, and then reminded He Yuzhu: "Don't forget to buy winter vegetables and coal briquettes."

He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly. Winter vegetable storage is usually in November, so it is indeed time to prepare.

"I remember."

Speaking of winter vegetables, he remembered that the first favor Sha Zhu owed Yi Zhonghai was winter vegetables. At that time, Sha Zhu's salary was only enough to ensure the food and drink of the brother and sister, so how could he have the money to prepare winter vegetables and coal.

Yi Zhonghai appeared as a savior and paid for Sha Zhu to buy winter vegetables and coal. He suddenly became Sha Zhu's benefactor from an ordinary neighbor.

Wu Bangming also helped Sha Zhu, but he was two days later than Yi Zhonghai. When he heard that his neighbor had helped prepare, Wu Bangming said that his neighbor was very enthusiastic.

Little did they know that it was in this way that Yi Zhonghai gradually gained a great deal of influence in Sha Zhu's heart, and finally alienated the relationship between the master and the apprentice.

Of course, Sha Zhu didn’t get much of the winter vegetables and coal briquettes that Yi Zhonghai bought. At least most of them were used by the Jia family.

Sha Zhu didn't care.

He Yuzhu knew that Yi Zhonghai had put the winter storage of the Jia family on Shazhu's head on the pretext of helping each other. Everything the Jia family ate and used was a favor he owed Yi Zhonghai.

Later, it even evolved into a situation where he owed the Jia family a favor, and Yi Zhonghai used this excuse to trick him into helping the Jia family.

This is also the reason why he doesn't want a cellar. The cellar belongs to his family, but it also belongs to everyone. There are three courtyards and three cellars, which are basically shared by everyone.

If he kept the cellar and didn't put anything in it, people would gossip about him. But if he put something in it, it would be a disguised support for the Jia family. The Jia family didn't have the awareness that they couldn't take other people's things.

Carrying He Yushui back to the courtyard, he ran into Li Dagen: "Zhu Zi, is your family preparing winter vegetables?"

"Yes. Uncle Li, has the Military Control Commission issued a notice?"

"The day after tomorrow it's our turn. I'll go and queue up then."

Since that day when he invited Li Pan to dinner, He Yuzhu's relationship with the Li family has improved.

"Uncle Li, let me go and queue up!"

Li Dagen refused, "It will take midnight to queue up. It's not very convenient as there's still rain at home. I'll go instead! After breakfast, you and Zhenjiang can go together. I borrowed a floor car in advance."

He Yuzhu sighed inwardly. When Yi Zhonghai asked Shazhu to buy vegetables for winter storage, he never considered these things. Not only did he ask Shazhu to queue up in the middle of the night, he even asked Shazhu to pull the floor cart. His beloved apprentice didn't have to do anything, just watch over there.

The deaf old lady, the Yi family, the Jia family, and the He family’s things were all done by Sha Zhu alone.

He Yushui, who stayed at home, woke up and couldn't see Shazhu. She thought Shazhu had abandoned her and cried loudly. She was tired of crying and fell asleep on the bed without eating breakfast.

By the time Shazhu finished his work, it was already noon.

He took out two packs of cigarettes from his pocket and handed them to Li Dagen: "These are cigarettes given to me by others. I don't know how to smoke. Uncle Li, take them while you're waiting in line. Smoke a couple when you get sleepy."

Li Dagen felt a little embarrassed and took the cigarette: "Zhu Zi, no thanks."

He Yuzhu didn't care and said, "Take it! I picked this up when I was serving dishes in a restaurant. Some people were drunk and couldn't remember anything. They couldn't remember the remaining cigarettes. The half-packs were divided up, and I secretly kept the two packs that were not smoked."

Li Dagen took the cigarette with envy and said, "Then I won't be polite. Your aunt is very strict and won't let me buy cigarettes carelessly."

After returning home, He Yuzhu suddenly thought that Yi Zhonghai should be back tomorrow.
