Chapter 692: Sha Zhuzi Shows Off and Encounters Ladi

Nanluoguxiang

Sha Zhuzi carried half a bag of white flour in one hand and pork belly in the other.

He returned to the Sihe Academy in this swaggering, arrogant manner.

The middle-aged women chatting all widened their eyes.

This Sha Zhuzi had struck it rich!

The Third Aunt asked with a face full of smiles:

"Sha Zhuzi, where did you go to strike it rich!"

Sha Zhuzi carried the pork belly, looking smug:

"I wouldn't call it striking it rich. I went out to cook a banquet, and the host was very happy."

"They gave me a red envelope as a gesture, not much, just six yuan."

"Six yuan!"

"That much money!"

"You were only out for half a day, right!"

"That's truly amazing!"

"Having a skill really pays off!"

"A cook will never starve in a famine year!"

Hearing that Sha Zhuzi got six yuan for cooking one banquet,

the eyes of the women present went straight.

They stared at Sha Zhuzi with envy and jealousy.

How was it that Sha Zhuzi was earning more now that he had lost his job?

Sha Zhuzi's monthly salary used to be thirty-seven yuan and fifty cents.

But now, he earned six yuan for cooking one banquet in less than a day.

If he went out to cook banquets every day for a month,

six yuan a day, ten days would be sixty yuan, thirty days would be...

Good heavens!

If he kept doing this every day, Sha Zhuzi was going to strike it big!

Enjoying the envious and jealous gazes of the women,

Sha Zhuzi was happier than if he had picked up money.

You looked down on me before, but in the future, I'll make you unable to climb up to me.

When he first got out of prison, which neighbor didn't look at him as a joke?

Now he was earning money!

Go ahead and be envious!

Sha Zhuzi carried his things home triumphantly.

This left the Third Aunt and the others sighing.

When Jia Zhangshi saw Sha Zhuzi carrying flour in one hand and meat in the other,

she even stopped sewing shoe soles, her triangular eyes glowing green:

"Sha Zhuzi, you're doing well!"

"With both flour and meat!"

"One look and I can tell you've earned big money!"

Sha Zhuzi smiled smugly: "Just earning some pocket money!"

Jia Zhangshi asked with a smile: "How much is pocket money?"

Sha Zhuzi said mindlessly: "The host was stingy, they only gave me a six-yuan red envelope."

Jia Zhangshi's eyes lit up: "Six yuan! Sha Zhuzi, you really have talent!"

Six yuan, how much meat and flour could that buy!

Such a large sum of money couldn't be wasted by Sha Zhuzi!

Jia Zhangshi leaned over with a shoe sole: "Zhuzi! Look, my family hasn't eaten meat in a long time."

"Auntie has known since you were little that you were promising, smart, kind, and warm-hearted."

"Look, can you give the meat to Auntie and lend Auntie a few yuan?"

"Once Huairu gets her salary, I'll have her pay you back with interest."

"And then I'll have Huairu cook for you herself."

Sha Zhuzi was overjoyed, grinning foolishly:

"Zhang Dama, you're making me hungry just saying that!"

"Sister Qin's noodles are the best!"

Jia Zhangshi raised her head triumphantly:

"That's for sure!"

"Who within ten miles doesn't know that my daughter-in-law's noodles are the best!"

"Hurry up and give the meat to Auntie, then lend Auntie a few yuan."

"Tomorrow I'll have Huairu make you noodles."

"I'll let you eat your fill until you're satisfied!"

Sha Zhuzi was dazed and about to give the meat away.

The First Aunt spoke up to remind him: "Zhuzi! Didn't you say you were going to treat your uncle to a meal!"

Sha Zhuzi immediately sobered up; that's right, he had a use for this meat.

He had already agreed with Yi Zhonghai that he would make him something good.

If this meat was gone, what would he use to please his "wild father"?

He still owed his "wild father" a huge sum of money.

He was still counting on his "wild father" for support.

Sha Zhuzi hurriedly took a step back, dodging Jia Zhangshi's grasping hands:

"Zhang Dama, I'm sorry!"

"I'm treating someone to a meal with this meat today."

"I can't give it to you."

Jia Zhangshi glared resentfully at the meddlesome First Aunt.

Then she stepped forward with a kind smile:

"If you have a use for the meat, I won't take it."

"Then lend Auntie a few yuan."

"Auntie won't borrow much, just three yuan."

Sha Zhuzi was suddenly in a bit of a bind.

Could this Jia Zhangshi tell fortunes?

He had cooked two banquets in the last two days. ===== CHAPTER 694 =====
