Chapter 266 Contrast
Little did they know that all this was because Li Guoqiang wrote another letter to Sha Zhu on behalf of Lou Xiao'e.
Sha Zhu was the kind of person who cared more about his reputation and was nostalgic. Of course, he didn't want to be looked down upon by Li Guoqiang, so he could only keep a certain distance from Qin Huairu.
Therefore, the only one who can defeat the licker is the licker himself.
Jia Zhang thought about it for a long time but couldn't come up with an answer, so she could only wave her hand angrily and said, "Forget it, since he doesn't pay attention to you, don't pay attention to him either. Don't act like we are begging him."
"Ok!"
Qin Huairu was not surprised when she heard this.
Because she knew that Jia Zhang would definitely understand that free meat was worthless.
While the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were thinking about their own affairs, the beautiful woman Wu Cai'e also brought her husband Song Guochang to the gate of the courtyard, and happened to run into Li Guoqiang who was waiting at the gate in advance.
"Aunt Wu!"
"Qiangzi, come here, let me introduce you. This is your uncle Song Guochang. Guochang is the child of my poor senior sister whom I told you about."
"Yes, this child really looks like your senior sister. He is a very handsome man."
"That's right, don't you see whose nephew this is!"
"Aunt Wu, Uncle, thank you for your praise!"
When Li Guoqiang saw Wu Cai'e and Song Guochang praising him in unison, he quickly waved his hands and spoke modestly.
After saying that, he turned sideways, made a gesture of invitation, and then continued, "Well, you two, please come in!"
"Ok!"
Seeing Li Guoqiang looking so generous and decent, Wu Cai'e and Song Guochang nodded with satisfaction, and then followed Li Guoqiang into the yard.
Then, as soon as they walked into the courtyard, they smelled the delicious and tempting aroma of food, and couldn't help feeling a little surprised.
In fact, before they came here, they had never thought about how good a meal Li Guoqiang could prepare to entertain them. At most, he could just make some pork and dumplings or something.
However, the aroma I smell now is obviously the product of delicious fish and meat.
It seems that their eldest nephew does have some real abilities!
Soon, Li Guoqiang brought Wu Cai'e and Song Guochang into the house.
When Li Dawei and Yao Meilan saw the guests coming, they hurriedly stood up and went forward to greet them.
Among them, Li Dawei, Wu Cai'e and Song Guochang had known each other for a long time, and Yao Meilan had also heard about them from Li Dawei, so she was not unfamiliar with the reception.
After some greetings, Li Guoqiang hurriedly asked everyone to sit down.
Then, Luo Huijuan, who heard the noise, hurried over from the kitchen, greeted Wu Cai'e and Song Guochang very enthusiastically, and was busy making tea for them.
"Qiangzi, your little wife is so pretty!"
Wu Cai'e looked at Luo Huijuan's voluptuous and charming figure, as well as her forthright manners and behavior, and immediately couldn't help but praise her.
"what!"
Li Guoqiang was delighted, then nodded unceremoniously and said in agreement: "I think so too!"
Hearing this, Luo Huijuan, who was originally a little embarrassed, couldn't help but look at Li Guoqiang with joy, and then quickly poured a cup of tea for Wu Cai'e and Song Guochang.
"Aunt, uncle, drink some water!"
"Eh!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Cai'e hurriedly nodded in agreement, then reached out to pick up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
Then, a hint of surprise appeared on her face, and she gave Song Guochang a look.
Seeing this, Song Guochang hurriedly reached out to pick up the teacup, tasted it carefully, and then couldn't help but look at Li Guoqiang in surprise.
Since the couple have always liked to be cultured, he is naturally a tea lover.
However, they never expected that they would be able to drink such a fragrant and long-lasting tea at Li Guoqiang's house.
You know, even if they have climbed to their current position, they don't have much chance to taste such good tea on a daily basis.
This time, they really couldn't understand their nephew Li Guoqiang.
On the surface, Li Guoqiang is just a child from an ordinary working-class family, so how did he get such good tea?
Later, they thought of how Li Guoqiang helped the production brigade set up a bee farm in the countryside, for which he was commended by the old man. Then, on behalf of the production brigade, he returned to the city to open a honey shop.
This series of events made them even more curious about Li Guoqiang.
"Qiangzi, where did you get this tea?"
"Oh!"
When Li Guoqiang heard Wu Cai'e's question, he smiled and answered, "I asked a friend to bring these tea leaves back from the south. If you like to drink them, I'll get you half a pound when I go back later."
"to make!"
Wu Cai'e nodded, and then said happily: "Then I won't be polite to you. It just so happens that your uncle and I usually like this kind of tea. Your tea tastes fragrant and delicious, and has a long aftertaste. We really like it."
"That's right!"
When Song Guochang heard Wu Cai'e's words, he nodded and said, "The quality of this tea is really good. If possible, I hope you can ask your friends to help bring back more. When the time comes, just tell your aunt how much money you need and ask her to give it to you!"
"Row!"
Hearing this, Li Guoqiang nodded hurriedly and agreed, "Then I will find time to talk to my friend and ask him to bring back more tea.
However, because the yield of this tea is not very large, I estimate that at most I can get two or three kilograms back. If you want to get more in the future, you will have to wait until next year."
"fine!"
When Song Guochang heard that he could get two or three kilograms, his eyes lit up slightly, and then he waved his hands and said, "I will be satisfied if I can get two kilograms."
As he spoke, he was already thinking about how to divide the tea into several portions and then give each portion to different people!
At the same time, he became more and more satisfied with his cheap nephew Li Guoqiang.
It was worth it that he turned down all his work and made a special trip to accompany Wu Cai'e. As a result, he had such a great harvest before they even finished their meal.
Now, he had just been transferred back to Beijing from Shanghai and was in urgent need of exploring and developing relationships in all aspects, and these teas were a very good stepping stone.
Wu Cai'e was well aware of this. When she saw Song Guochang's satisfied look towards Li Guoqiang, she finally felt relieved.
Although she and Li Guoqiang's mother were very good sisters in the past, she and Li Guoqiang had no blood relationship after all. If Li Guoqiang could gain Song Guochang's approval, she would be able to take better care of Li Guoqiang in the future and repay her sister's kindness to her.
At this time, Pan Qiaoyan also came over from the kitchen and said with a smile that it was time to eat.
Upon hearing this, Luo Huijuan hurriedly cleaned the table, then followed Pan Qiaoyan to the kitchen to serve the food.
Soon, they served up delicious dishes one after another, which made Wu Cai'e and Song Guochang secretly amazed. Although they had worked in the system for so many years and had accumulated a relatively rich family fortune, it was still difficult to get so many good ingredients.
[If I could get my nephew to help me get more of these ingredients, plus some good quality tea leaves, would I still have to worry about finding connections? ]
Looking at the table full of delicious food in front of him, Song Guochang soon became interested.
However, considering that this was the first time they met and that he had already made a request once, he could only suppress his eagerness and planned to wait until after dinner to talk about it.
At this time, Li Guoqiang did not expect that Song Guochang would set his sights on these ingredients. Seeing that the food was almost served, he hurried to the next room and took out two jars of aged wine from the small world.
He was asked to give one of the jars to Sha Zhu, and to take the other jar into the house to entertain Wu Cai'e and Song Guochang.
When he opened the jar of wine and poured out bowl after bowl of clear, delicate, mellow and tempting wine, Wu Cai'e's eyes lit up instantly.
In fact, she prefers good wine to good tea.
Originally, she thought that the fact that Li Guoqiang could take out those good teas and such a large table of delicious ingredients was enough to surprise her, but she didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, Li Guoqiang would take out such a jar of good wine.
[What kind of abilities does my nephew have? ]
Just as she was becoming more and more curious about Li Guoqiang, Li Guoqiang had already pulled Luo Huijuan, and the old couple Li Dawei and Yao Meilan to sit down next to Wu Cai'e and Song Guochang.
Then, he stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation, and said with a smile: "Aunt, Uncle, let's eat first!"
"Okay, okay, let's eat first!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Cai'e nodded hurriedly and said, "Come to think of it, I haven't eaten Feilong for many years, and this smell is really quite appetizing.
There are also the spicy rabbit head and dry pot rabbit meat, which you can tell at first glance are made by a master chef.
Especially this braised carp, I estimate it must be at least 10 pounds! Such a big plate looks really spectacular.
Qiangzi, it's really hard for you to prepare so many delicious dishes for us in such a short time. Auntie really loves you well!"
After saying that, she reached out her hand very intimately and patted Li Guoqiang's hand gently a few times.
"Ah!"
Li Guoqiang chuckled, then quickly waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, as long as you and uncle like it.
In addition, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for helping me rent such a good shop!
Come, let me offer you a bowl first!"
After saying that, he picked up the bowl and drank the wine in it.
"it is good!"
When Wu Cai'e saw Li Guoqiang being so generous, she immediately praised him with eyes shining, then hurriedly picked up the bowl and drank the wine in it in one gulp.
Then, she slammed the bowl on the table in high spirits, exhaled a breath of mellow wine, and praised loudly: "Good wine!"
When Song Guochang saw Wu Cai'e like this, a helpless look suddenly appeared on his face.
As for the others, they were all stunned by Wu Cai'e's sudden heroic spirit.
Especially since Wu Cai'e was born with the appearance of a mature and beautiful woman, giving people the feeling of a noble lady. Logically, she should be gentle, generous, charming and attractive, but she suddenly behaved like a heroine.
This is more or less a contrast.
"Forehead"
Wu Cai'e saw that Li Dawei, Yao Meilan and Luo Huijuan were all looking at her in surprise. She felt a little embarrassed and hurriedly said, "Well, everyone stop looking at her and eat while it's hot!"
"Yeah!"
Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang hurriedly said, "Everyone, eat it while it's hot!"
As he said that, he picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of fish belly for Wu Cai'e and Song Guochang respectively, then laughed and said, "Aunt, uncle, the belly of this big carp is the most delicious, you guys hurry up and try it!"
"Ok!"
Seeing this, Wu Cai'e and Song Guochang hurriedly nodded in agreement, then picked up their chopsticks and began to taste the food carefully.
When Li Dawei, Yao Meilan and Luo Huijuan saw the guests starting to eat, they hurriedly picked up their chopsticks.
Soon, the room was filled with the sounds of chewing and swallowing, and people praising the delicious food.
At the same time, in the kitchen, after finishing the work at hand, Sha Zhu unceremoniously took a rice bowl, put some food that had been portioned out in advance in it, and then took the jar of good wine and returned to his home, ready to have a good meal.
However, he had just returned home and had not yet picked up the dishes when Qin Huairu's voice was heard outside the house.
"Silly Zhu, silly Zhu, are you home?"
"exist!"
Sha Zhu was slightly stunned, then quickly replied and strode out.
"Sister Qin, do you have something to talk to me about?"
"Look what you said!"
Qin Huairu saw Sha Zhu's cold look and couldn't help but said angrily, "Can't I come over and talk to you if I have nothing to do?"
"Sister Qin!"
When Sha Zhu heard this, his heart tightened, and he quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense. If someone hears it and misunderstands it, it will be troublesome.
Especially your mother-in-law, I don't want her to catch me and scold me for no reason."
"okay!"
When Qin Huairu heard Sha Zhu bring up Jia Zhangshi as an excuse, she immediately said helplessly: "Didn't my mother-in-law just scold you a few words before? Why do you still remember it? Are you still a man?"
"Of course I am a man!"
Sha Zhu's eyes widened, then he patted his chest vigorously and said proudly: "I have a son now, do you think I am a man?"
"you"
Qin Huairu was immediately furious when she heard this. Her heart ached and her eyes turned red. She glared at Sha Zhu fiercely, twisted her plump and charming waist, turned around and left angrily.
Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huairu's graceful swaying back, opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end it turned into a sigh.
In fact, he was not unaware of Qin Huairu's feelings for him, but he and Lou Xiao'e already had a son. If one day Lou Xiao'e came back with her son and saw that he had married Qin Huairu, she would be heartbroken!
Therefore, he can only pretend to be confused now.
"How's it going? Did you get the food?"
