Chapter 44 Successfully persuaded He Daqing to serve for free
"Silly Zhu, it's like this. Your sister Qin and I are planning to have an eighteen-table wedding banquet."
"The ten tables are prepared for the people in the courtyard. With this money, the third uncle will go to each house to collect it in advance before hosting the wedding banquet."
"There are also eight tables prepared for the workers of the steel rolling mill and the Beijing Chess Society. The money will not be collected until they come over tomorrow for the banquet and gifts."
"The wedding banquet has to be purchased in advance, so there will be a funding gap. I plan to borrow this part of the money from your father, and then I will pay him back after collecting the share of the money."
"But these eight tables cost at least 1,560 yuan. I'm worried that your father might not want to borrow them."
"When the time comes when I ask him to borrow money, you will cooperate and talk to me."
"Just say that your father is rich, and the salary you turn in is so much."
"Isn't this very reasonable? If your father still has your money, he will definitely lend it out."
"Wouldn't this help you figure out whether your money is still there?"
Jia Dongxu smiled and slowly explained to Shazhu.
"Silly Zhu, my man is right. Only by clarifying this issue can you feel at ease."
"If your father is the kind of person who uses the wages you turn in to make money, you can't turn over your wages to him in the future."
"What's more, although we say we are borrowing money, we are actually asking your father to advance the money temporarily, and you will pay it back as soon as you collect the money."
As soon as Jia Dongxu finished speaking, Qin Huairu followed up with earnest persuasion.
The two of them perfectly interpreted what it means to have a husband sing and a wife follow.
After hearing this, Shazhu nodded in agreement and said: "Sister Qin, you are right, I will cooperate with you. Thank you, Sister Qin, for your concern."
As he spoke, the corners of his eyes were still a little moist, and he was touched by Qin Huairu's concern for him.
Seeing this, Jia Dongxu almost wanted to curse. He said so much, it would be better for Qin Huairu to say a word.
But he knew that Silly Zhu was the kind of scumbag who was heterosexual and inhumane, so he didn’t care about Silly Zhu.
"Okay, then let's go find your father!"
Jia Dongxu waved and walked to the front first.
When he arrived at He's house, Jia Dongxu just pushed the door open and was about to step forward to say hello to He Daqing with a smile.
At this time, He Daqing suddenly dropped his wine glass on the table and cursed loudly.
"The indifferent young man Jiang Taigong ruined the good relationship between He Hua and I. If you let me know who you are, I will never be done with you."
Hearing this, Jia Dongxu shivered all over.
Immediately, he and Qin Huairu looked at each other and showed a wry smile.
It seems that He Daqing will not be able to overcome the failure of running away with the White Widow so easily.
The identity of young Jiang Taigong must not be exposed.
Jia Dongxu stepped forward with a smile: "Uncle He, you are drinking!"
"Jia Dongxu, why did you come to see me? If you have something to talk about, don't disturb me drinking. I'm bothered!"
He Daqing glanced at Jia Dongxu and replied impatiently.
"Uncle He, I know you are annoyed, so I only dare to disturb you because I have something good to do."
Jia Dongxu pulled up a stool and sat down opposite He Daqing.
"Then tell me what's good about it?"
He Daqing didn't even raise his head and continued to drink.
"Uncle He, in fact, a rebellious and ruthless woman like the White Widow is not a good match for you."
"It's a good thing you didn't run away with her. If after you've been with her for a few years, she is instigated by others and drives you away, then you will really regret it."
Jia Dongxu took out a box of special cigarettes for China, took out a cigarette and lit it, then threw the cigarette box on the table.
"I don't need you to tell me the truth yet. If you have something to say, just say it."
"Uncle He, why are you so anxious? I'm not here to find you a better widow."
"A better widow? Have you found a better widow for me?"
As soon as He Daqing heard about the widow, he immediately became energetic and quickly put down his wine glass and asked excitedly.
He also knew that the White Widow was not a good thing, but when he was about to eat it and it was suddenly gone, how could he not be sad?
In order to get over the pain caused by the white widow, finding a better widow is definitely the best way.
In the original work, He Daqing was still hooking up with widows when he was eighty years old.
He is truly a man who will remain a boy until he dies!
"I'm holding a wedding banquet tomorrow, and I've invited many people from the Beijing Chess Society to attend."
"I plan to ask you, a master chef, to cook my wedding banquet and show off your superb cooking skills."
Jia Dongxu took a puff of cigarette and slowly blew out a smoke ring.
"How much salary will you give me? I won't work for less than five yuan!"
He Daqing didn't even think about it and replied directly.
"Uncle He, I have always been the shrewdest in my mind. Why are you confused now?"
"Even if I give you five yuan, will you make a fortune? It doesn't matter whether the boss has money or not. The most important thing is to find a better widow!"
Jia Dongxu looked as if the Qing Dynasty was anxious.
He Daqing snorted and said: "So you kid wants to trick me into giving you free spoons. No way, it's useless no matter how nice you say it."
"Uncle He, can I fool you? Have you seen this special offer to China!"
Jia Dongxu pointed to the special Chinese offering on the table and asked with a smile.
He Daqing glanced at the special offer for China on the table and was stunned for a moment.
That’s right! These are specially supplied to China! How did Jia Dongxu get these high-end cigarettes that even the rich can’t buy?
"I see, it's special for China, but what does this have to do with free cooking and finding a better widow?"
He Daqing smacked his mouth and asked in confusion.
Qin Huairu and Shazhu stood aside, also looking confused, completely confused about the logic of Jia Dongxu's words.
"It's very important. This is given to me by the president of the Beijing Chess Association."
"And the people from the Beijing Chess Society, who are they?"
"They are all people who have enough to eat all day long and have nothing to do, but they also have some money! The worst ones also have a good job."
"These people have a lot of connections. Finding a good widow for you is not a simple matter."
"Even if we take a step back and find good widows, if you show off your superb cooking skills in front of those people, are you afraid that you won't have the opportunity to make extra money by cooking outside in the future?"
"So, how can you ask me for wages? I'll give you this opportunity. It's good if I don't ask you for money."
Jia Dongxu smiled and slowly explained to He Daqing.
What he said is half true and half false. There are indeed many idlers like that who often stay at the Xiangqi Society in Beijing, but they are not chess players and members of the Xiangqi Society.
But what he said makes sense and there is nothing wrong with it.
Regardless of whether we can find a high-quality widow for He Daqing, let’s paint this pie first.
Hearing this, He Daqing's face became more solemn.
"Jia Dongxu, what you said makes sense. I've also heard others say it at the Beijing Chess Society."
"The widows of many people who were attacked before the founding of the People's Republic of China changed their names and continued to live. They are indeed very good widows."
"And people who often go to the Beijing Xiangqi Academy will be more likely to get to know those people, and maybe they are friends."
He Daqing took a sip of wine and nodded with deep understanding.
Jia Dongxu laughed and said: "Haha, Uncle He, it turns out that you also know the ropes, so it's okay for you to cook for free."
"Okay, since it's not easy for your Jia family to host a wedding banquet, I'll help your family cook it for free."
