Wife’s Funny Life - Chapter 63

Just like that, Wu Anguo helped Commander Liu arrange the military supplies. It was quick and good. General Liu was very happy and praised Wu Anguo greatly. Of course, the main reason was that he had received a huge amount of kickbacks, which was twice as much as he had imagined. It was a hundred percent windfall. When Commander Liu was done with the rebate, he reported the price and presented the military supplies to Jiang Jiexi for him to reward. That was because the price he offered was much cheaper than what the previous Army Commander had bought and the supplies were all foreign goods.

Old Jiang said, “Chang Shan is not bad. He knows how to handle matters.”

Commander Liu was so happy that he didn’t sleep the entire night. As the commander, his position could be considered stable.

“An empire is not bad, this young man is really not bad at all!” General Liu muttered to himself. He wished he could get Wu Anguo to work for him.

Shanghai was not a big place, not a small place, but giving gifts was definitely not a secret.

For a normal courtesan, giving a dress with a foreign brand name tag was pretty good. If one wanted to provide for her, the rich ones would rent a room and give her a small car. That was the standard of a top courtesan.

So far, however, there had been no mention of a steamer.

And it was a wife! If they were to compare lives, they would definitely die. If they were to compare goods, they would definitely be thrown away!

The name Xu Bao became completely popular.

The man wanted to see what special charm this woman possessed, and what kind of woman would be worthy of Master Du’s hand if she were to be married off.

All of a sudden, Wu Residence’s visitors were in a steady stream, making Xu Bao extremely annoyed. In the end, he decided to hold a banquet.

Many of the most famous ladies in Shanghai have been invited, including Chen Siya’s children’s shoes.

She was the most depressed one. She really couldn’t see anything good about Xu Bao at all. It was just a country girl. She was vulgar, she was gluttonous, and she knew nothing at all.

When all the women had arrived, it was said that three women were playing a game. With so many people coming, almost all of them wanted to watch a show. Naturally, it was extremely chaotic.

As the mistress of Wu Residence and also the organizer of the banquet, Comrade Xu Bao was obviously not ready.

Right now, he was facing the problem of food.

Originally, she and her Third Aunt had prepared the Shanxi Knife Noodle Slicer, but these famous women actually refused to eat the Knife Noodle Slicer. Feeling unrefined, they shouted for the western cuisine.

You’re right. You said that a bunch of beauties had finished their makeup and wore revealing dresses. Who would be willing to stick soup on their smooth and smooth faces? The smell of cutting noodles permeated their bodies.

Other than a glutton like Xu Bao, no one else was willing to give it a try.

Third Aunt’s heart really ached when she saw a pot of sliced noodles being glued to the table like that. Those prodigal women, if they were in their hometown in Shanxi, they would definitely be slapped with the sole of their shoes by a man!

Chen Siya and her group of best friends pouted and shouted, “Aiya, why is it that there isn’t even anything to eat? I’m so hungry!”

“Yeah, yeah …” I want to eat Western food! ”

“Originally, I had an appointment with a friend to eat Thai food, but in the end, I was invited over. I didn’t expect that there wasn’t even anything to eat. How hateful …”

It was unrealistic to look at so many people inviting chefs to make western cuisines.

Xu Bao also didn’t like wasted women. If she didn’t even care for the food, then she definitely wasn’t a good person. If it weren’t for the fact that they had been bothering her recently, she wouldn’t have held any banquets.

In the end, there was no other way around it. Third Aunt went to get a large vat of curried beef from the big cat pen and scooped up half of it.

In a small bowl, serve each person a bowl of rice and half a bowl of curry beef… Do you like it or not…

The group of people were very hungry, and the famous woman also wanted to eat. The rice was very fragrant, and although the taste of the yellow beef was strange, it seemed to be appetizing.

Chen Siya and the others were still adamant on not eating it. What the hell was this? Taking it out for them to eat was too much of a waste for them. But one or two of them couldn’t wait and took a small bite. Then it turned out to be really tasty. The curried beef with white rice was done.

Someone then asked Xu Bao, “Miss Xu, what is this? “It’s so delicious.”

Everyone in Shanghai knew that Master Du would definitely be interested in her. If she was called Madame Wu in front of Master Du, then wouldn’t it be embarrassing for Master Du? Thus, everyone tactfully called her Miss Xu.

And Chen Siya shouted this because she liked Wu Anguo and didn’t want to acknowledge Xu Bao’s position.

At this time, Third Aunt called out in a loud voice. She had long since disliked these women and knew that they were all people with good face. To put it nicely, they were willing to eat dog food.

“Ladies and gentlemen, these are the dishes I have learned from the British Embassy. They are called Indian Curry Rice, and all the British Ambassadors eat them.” Third Aunt shouted at the top of her lungs.

The loud voice stunned the entire scene.

Thus, the famous woman who was hesitating also started to eat. As expected, it was delicious.

It was fragrant but not greasy. The taste was special. The rice was sparkling and translucent. It was indeed a famous foreign dish. It was much more delicious than ordinary steaks.

The big cat also ate curry beef. It ate with tears because it saw that half of its curried beef barrel was missing.

Having eaten such a special delicacy, the banquet could be considered a success.

However, there was an acquaintance who had appeared in the middle of the group. It turned out to be Emma.

Emma hugged Xu Bao excitedly and said, “Xu, I didn’t expect you to still be alive. James and I always thought that you guys …” “Great, you came to Shanghai too.”

It turned out that after the war in Shanxi Province, Comrade James had brought his wife back to China. Ever since he published those articles, his reputation in the American world had become so great that he became known as the ‘China Tong’ in the eyes of the Americans.

However, there were still a lot of uncertainties about the U.S. policy towards China. For example, China’s economic situation, its policies and regulations, trade transactions, the strength of Chinese Chiang Kai-shek, the warlord war, the situation of the Japanese in China … Wait a minute.

So the U.S. government hired James as a business attaché and stayed directly at the U.S. embassy in China, equivalent to the U.S. ambassador’s deputy. It was a very powerful position.

Because of this, when James returned to Shanghai, he found out that Shanxi had lost the war. He thought that Xu Bao and his wife were gone, but he didn’t expect that Emma would meet Xu Bao when she accompanied her friends to participate in the event.

Seeing that an official’s wife from the American Embassy was actually so close to Xu Bao, those famous ladies did not dare to look down on Xu Bao anymore. No matter whether they were stupid or not, being able to get to know so many people was still an ability.

Comrade Xu Bao had been unknowingly relegated to the role of a famous woman. In Shanghai, the reputation of the upper class suddenly rose greatly.

Third Aunt’s Indian curry was also praised as the most authentic Indian dish, and everyone who had eaten it said it was delicious.

However, this was taken from a big cat’s mouth, how could it not be reasonable?

What was even more exaggerated was that many families would hold banquets and invite Third Aunt to cook the Indian Curry Rice.

Third Aunt didn’t know how to cook at all. She was also prepared to cook, but the number of people calling her out became more and more. It was not easy to refuse.

So Xu Bao went to Mr. Oreo and asked for a lot of curried beef.

Where was Oreo? It turned out that the curried beef was specially prepared for their Indian soldiers.

But that day, the big cat caught everyone. There was a soldier who had just taken a bath and didn’t smell of curry, yet the big cat didn’t even touch him.

The three of them recalled that it must be because of the curry that they were chased by that scary tiger, so they decided to stop eating curry in China for one day.

God knows, the British Embassy’s warehouses were filled with cans of curry beef, and no one had eaten them. As an embassy, he naturally would not sell any of these things.

When Xu Baofei came looking for her, Mr. Oreo was really grateful to her, “You’re really my best friend!”

So he gave Xu Bao all the curried beef in several warehouses for one yuan a big barrel, almost free of charge, so that he could put other food in the storehouse.

Xu Bao saw so many cans of curry beef and also felt a bit worried. She wouldn’t want to eat for a lifetime right? It was too scary. She loved to eat fresh meat, but she would stop eating once the freshness passed.

Coincidentally, they also happened to meet the Third Aunt, so she was extremely annoyed.

In the end, Wu Anguo suggested that they open a shop. He specialised in cooking Indian Curry Rice. He mainly saw that the little girl had nothing to do and panicked, so he was afraid that she would cause trouble. He might as well find something for her to do.

Xu Bao was very anxious to get rid of the curried beef, so he nodded like a chick pecking rice.

Thus, the first restaurant in Shanghai, Third Aunt’s private restaurant appeared.

Imitation of British restaurants decorate, bright and elegant, selling only one dish, Indian curry rice.

Third Aunt even specially made a curly-haired short hair that was popular in Shanghai. She took a photo and hung it on the door to make a sign. She thought that the curried beef was basically free, so there was no need to pay, even if there was no business.

Mu didn’t expect that when the shop opened, it would be filled with customers. Everyone saw Third Aunt’s signboard and thought that no one could make a tunnel like hers, but that was for sure. Third Aunt’s private kitchen was filled with curry beef, which was directly shipped from India.

In the end, the Chinese woman’s curry beef meal was even more authentic than the one they made.

The Chinese came in a hurry when they saw that the foreigners said they were serious. Later on, it was very embarrassing for them not to have eaten Third Aunt’s private house in Shanghai.

Third Aunt was also getting more and more rich and proud. Shanghai people’s money was really easy to earn. With the money from selling a bowl of curried beef and a bowl of white rice, she could even set up a banquet in the countryside. It was such a waste!

But those people had lined up to be despised.

Moreover, Third Aunt had become a prodigy among the famous ladies in Shanghai. She was considered straightforward and magnanimous when she spoke loudly and rudely. Many ladies liked to talk to Third Aunt. They didn’t know whether to find a sense of superiority or to curse, because even if the restaurant opened, Third Aunt would still maintain her personality of scolding anyone she disliked. It was rather to her taste.

One day, Wu Anguo and his cousin were discussing about smuggling, but there was an official with the surname Liu who was very difficult to deal with. At this moment, Third Aunt calmly floated over and said, “Isn’t it just Chief Liu? Every day at 3 o’clock in the afternoon, he walks the birds. He likes to eat flowers, vegetables, and western glasses …”
