Since the leader's wife confirmed it, Wang Guizhi has not had so many gossips in the family courtyard. Some of the rumors are self-defeating.

This Wang Guizhi is a great writer confirmed above, and the status of cultural people is unusually high, and it is normal to be rich.

Wang Guizhi didn't expect that the words between himself and the leader's wife made the usual gossip a lot less, and many people still respected Wang Guizhi, and even wanted to ask her to tutor her children, but Wang Guizhi shirked it with the reason of opening a store, but after refusing, there was no gossip.

Only then did Wang Guizhi understand that if he wanted others to look up to him, he had to show his strength. Wang Guizhi usually thinks that she can keep a low profile, so others generally don't know her real source of income, and feel that Wang Guizhi is similar to her own family, so she just has a little more money, and she naturally feels that Wang Guizhi's incompatibility is wrong.

Now Wang Guizhi easily opened up the gap with them, leaving them far behind, so that they could only look up to themselves instead of saying bad things about themselves.

Meng Bo also drank with Li Yongchang that day, and when he heard what Li Yongchang said, his heart was also a little unbalanced.

Meng Bo thought, they are all soldiers, why is Li Yongchang and his daughter-in-law much more capable than his own one?

Meng Bo saw Li Yongchang invite the people below him to dinner, he felt that he couldn't be left behind, otherwise he might be said to be stingy, so he thought about asking his daughter-in-law to make some food to entertain the people below.

Meng Bo looked at Zhong Ya, who was coaxing the child, and said to her, "Daughter-in-law, let me tell you something." ”

"What's the matter?" Zhong Ya was a little impatient, she was still busy coaxing the child.

"Didn't I go to Li Yongchang and their side to eat before," Meng Bo said to Zhong Ya again, "Don't you know, Yongchang's daughter-in-law's cooking is really delicious, and his subordinates have praised Li Yongchang, his meal, but he has earned enough face!"

Zhong Ya thought that Meng Bo was just telling herself about Li Yongchang's treat that day, so she said lightly: "Oh, so what are you telling me about?"

Meng Bo felt that Zhong Ya was really a little stupid, and he couldn't hear the meaning of his words, but he thought that he would have to rely on Zhong Ya to help him for a treat, so he endured it.

"I want to tell you, let you ask what Wang Guizhi did that day, and you can also make a table according to the gourd painting scoop, so that I can invite my subordinates to dinner, and we can also get a good reputation outside. Meng Bo explained to Zhong Ya.

Zhong Ya now understood what she was going to do, she had some complaints, but Zhong Ya was a little afraid of Meng Bo, so she could only follow what he said and went to find Wang Guizhi by herself.

Although Wang Guizhi doesn't like Zhong Ya, she feels that if the food she cooks is hidden, in case Zhong Ya will gossip about herself later. More is better than less, so she directly told Zhong Ya all the dishes she made that day, and even a few particularly difficult dishes, and told her what to do.

Zhong Ya listened to her patiently on the surface, but she didn't actually listen to her much.

Zhong Ya thanked Wang Guizhi, and as soon as she stepped out of the door of Wang Guizhi's house, she couldn't help but spit and said: "Bah, so many dishes, after eating!

Wang Guizhi's family has money, and the meat is naturally bought with good ones, not to mention mutton and beef. Zhong Ya's family didn't have that condition, Zhong Ya did the math.

One pot of fish, two pots of pork, three pots of chicken, and four pots of beef and mutton. In addition to these meat accidents, Wang Guizhi also made a lot of vegetarian dishes, such as baby cabbage, leeks and the like, the price of these vegetables is about the same as the price of meat.

Zhong Ya calculated that it was too expensive, if she invited the people below to eat, it would not be worth it at all, not to mention that their family conditions were not as good as Wang Guizhi's, if they really did this, it would cost a lot of money. And now it's winter, and Meng Bo is the only one in Zhong Ya's family who has a salary, Zhong Ya usually just grows vegetables or something, but she doesn't get much money for growing vegetables, not to mention that this year's harvest is not very good.

She went to find Meng Bo: "Husband, I just calculated, Wang Guizhi and their family use a lot of chicken, duck, fish, beef and mutton, you also know that the price of this dish is very expensive, if you really invite your subordinates, I'm afraid it's not good, I think you should invite a few good comrades-in-arms at the same level, so as to have face!"

Meng Bo thought about it, he was almost at the same level as Li Yongchang, and Li Yongchang invited him over for dinner that day because he was his good friend. Meng Bo still remembers that Wang Guizhi's cooking is indeed a lot of beef and mutton, and the scale is similar to that in the hotel.

Meng Bo knew that his family's conditions were like that, thinking that if he spent such a large sum of money and asked him to accept it, it would also be heavy bleeding, and his heart would hurt, and he felt that it was not very cost-effective.

Thinking so, Meng Bo nodded and said, "That's okay, I'll go find a few comrades-in-arms of the same level as me to eat together, you have to cook well, you can't embarrass me!"

Zhong Ya was also very happy to see that Meng Bo actually agreed with his idea. On weekdays, Zhong Ya basically has to do whatever Meng Bo says, and she doesn't dare to put forward any opinions, because Zhong Ya is also afraid that Meng Bo will beat herself, and this time it is also because of such a large expense that she put forward her opinion to Meng Bo.

Zhong Ya also thought that after she gave birth to a child, Meng Bo paid more and more attention to herself, and she pondered that if she was lazy and didn't cook a few dishes, Meng Bo would definitely not say anything.

As soon as Zhong Ya's thought came out, she couldn't stand this thought anymore, and she had to be even more presumptuous.

said that he was talking about making a few fewer dishes, but Zhong Ya directly cut the heavy beef and mutton into a total of one pot, only half of the fish, and one pork and chicken. Zhong Ya didn't know the word "moderate" at all, and even the vegetables she bought from Wang Guizhi were replaced with ordinary Chinese cabbage and carrots.

Zhong Ya bought the meat back, and there were still a few days before Meng Bo invited him to dinner. Zhong Ya couldn't help it at noon one day, so she cut half a chicken and made a roast chicken for herself to eat, and put the rest half away.

On the day of the invitation, Zhong Yadong followed suit and imitated Wang Guizhi's cooking, but her craftsmanship was far worse than Wang Guizhi's, not to mention that the meals she cooked, even the ingredients were reduced so much, and she couldn't make so many dishes.

And Zhong Ya didn't have time to buy other dishes at this time, she had an idea, cut the beef and mutton into thin slices, put a vegetarian dish or something underneath, and pounced on the top layer, looking a lot of meat and good-looking.

She sliced the fish, unlike Wang Guizhi, which stewed directly as a whole, Zhong Ya directly boiled the fish slices, put a lot of water in them, and then cut the white radish into large pieces and put it in, and then add some tofu or something, it looks full.

For the rest, Zhong Ya also concocted it again. When she was done, she found that the food she had cooked looked pretty good, but when she ate it, she knew that there wasn't much meat in it.

Zhong Ya took out the leftover half of the chicken again, boiled it slightly, and made a pot of chicken soup, and she also deliberately put more oil, so that the chicken soup looked beautiful and brightly colored. But it's just a beautiful color, just taste it, you may think the taste is okay, but if you eat too much, you will feel that this chicken soup is too greasy.

Zhong Ya looked at the food she cooked, but she was not satisfied. She felt that she had done too well and that she had used very little material. Zhong Ya was triumphant, and scolded Wang Guizhi a few more words: "This Wang Guizhi is nothing! Rich is rich, if you don't spend this money carefully, you won't have more money! I didn't spend much money to make so many dishes, in the end, I will still live!"

But Zhong Ya never thought that if this was a meal for his subordinates, it would be okay to cut corners, and the people below would not say anything for the sake of Meng Bo being his superior, but this level is different. This is a treat to dinner, but you can't be short of catties or two, this kind of human affection, Zhong Ya, that stupid woman, didn't take a point into account, she just thought about saving money.

Meng Bo returned home and brought his comrades-in-arms at the same level, he looked at the dishes served by his daughter-in-law and was quite satisfied, and felt that his daughter-in-law finally listened to his words and did a good deed, he hurriedly greeted and said: "Come on, come on, I have a treat today, you can eat at ease!"

However, Meng Bo's comrades-in-arms at the same level are all proficient, and they are not so easy to deal with. They could see at a glance that this dish was not good, they tasted the chicken soup, and they gestured to each other, and they all tasted it, and the chickens here were all leftover from the other day.

A few people clamped their chopsticks, and there was not much beef and mutton, and they immediately saw the bottom. When those comrades-in-arms of the same level saw it, they were a little angry. They thought that the chicken was left over from before, but they didn't expect that the beef and mutton, which seemed to be particularly large, were only a little bit, and the rest were shoddy with vegetables.

Meng Bo originally planned to pull a few comrades-in-arms of the same level, drink with him, have a long talk, enhance feelings, etc., so that he could also make a good reputation. However, everyone didn't drink much, and they didn't eat a few bites of food, and after eating for a while, a few people made excuses that they had something to do and left first.

Meng Bo was also a rough man, he didn't think much about it at that time, and when he saw the bad faces of his comrades-in-arms at the same level, he felt that they were all in trouble for the New Year, so he could only let them go. Afterwards, Meng Bo was still sighing, saying that it was too unfortunate that day, his comrades-in-arms had left in advance, and they couldn't eat and drink properly.

Meng Bo thought that if he ate this time, he could also have a good reputation. Since Wang Guizhi arrived here, Meng Bo felt more and more that Wang Guizhi was good, so he tried every means to let Zhong Ya learn from Wang Guizhi. However, Zhong Ya didn't learn Wang Guizhi's ability to endure hardships at all, but she learned some of her eldest lady's style.

Zhong Ya was self-righteous, thinking that Wang Guizhi didn't do any housework, and she herself dragged the floor a little or something. This time it also happened to reflect that Zhong Ya learned from Wang Guizhi's four differences, but there were a bunch of problems on his body.

Meng Bo accidentally overheard his own gossip, someone said that he had a treat that day, the chicken was left for several days, the meat was very small, and the vegetables were extraordinarily much.

Hearing the rumors outside, Meng Bo suddenly understood a little, he finally understood why his comrades-in-arms who liked to drink that day didn't drink a lot, and then found an excuse to leave. It turned out that they had already discovered that their meals were shoddy before they did!

Li Yongchang also knew about it, after all, it was widely spread in private.

When he went home, he brought Wang Guizhi by the way and said, "Zhong Ya, do you remember Meng Bo?"

Wang Guizhi nodded: "Remember, what happened to their family?"

Wang Guizhi understands that if there is nothing to do, Li Yongchang will not be able to mention it.

Li Yongchang rubbed Wang Guizhi's head and told him some of the rumors he had heard: "As far as Meng Bo is concerned, he invited some soldiers of the same level, but our soldiers here have sharp eyes, and they can see at a glance that the meals prepared by Meng Bo and their family are not good." ”

"No, what's not going to work?" Wang Guizhi also heard for the first time that this meal was not good, and she guessed with a smile, "Is that burnt?"

Li Yongchang shook his head and said: "This is more than burning in the eyes! They found that this chicken was left over from a few days ago, and there were a lot of meat dishes, which looked like a lot, but they were all layered with a layer of meat on the surface, and the bottom was covered with some cabbage and radishes, which looked like a lot." Actually, there aren't many at all. Those soldiers of the same level were so angry that they found a few mouths on the spot and said that they had something at home, but this is also, Meng Bo He looks quite reliable, why can't he do things this time?

Li Yongchang felt that Meng Bo was not like such a person, but he also felt sorry for him.

Wang Guizhi thought for a while, and then said his opinion: "I think that ah, if the family doesn't have any money, just cook a few home-cooked meals, just make a few home-cooked meals, you comrades-in-arms should also be clear, what is sincere and what is not sincere, no matter how good this meal is, it is useless, in fact, ordinary meals, just do it well, and make enough meals." ”

Li Yongchang heard Wang Guizhi's words, thought about it for a while, and felt that it was such a reason: "What you said is right, those comrades-in-arms at the same level also complained to me, saying that they just looked at their hearts. ”

Zhong Ya was at ease at home, but Meng Bo rushed directly into the door and asked, "Zhong Ya, is your meal a few days ago, the chicken in chicken soup, leftover from before?"
