Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

Chapter 2 Cooking System

This was the housing allocation problem in the 60s.

In fact, there are some rules to follow. It doesn't just belong to whoever takes a fancy to it.

Except for those who already have houses in this area, most houses are allocated by work units. Work units either build their own houses or arrange them with the street office after consultation. If you don't have a permit, you can't do something like occupying a house, and you don't dare to do it.

Followed Yan Bugui into the hospital.

"Our yard is a large yard with three entrances. There are three households in the front yard, four households in the middle yard, and three households in the back yard, a total of eleven households. Your house is in the back yard. Everyone is having dinner now. Later, we will hold a meeting for the whole yard and get to know each other."

"Well, then, Mr. Yan, there are several uncles in charge of our courtyard. I have never lived in a courtyard, so I don't understand much."

"One in each courtyard. The manager of your backyard is also from your steel mill. He's a seventh-level blacksmith. He's a nice guy, but he doesn't smile much. You'll know when you see you. The manager of the middle courtyard is the one you just saw, Yi Zhonghai, an eighth-level fitter. He's also a big shot in our alley. The remaining one is me..."

Yan Bugui introduced the situation and residents of the courtyard to Cao Wei.

Pass through the moon gate and arrive at the central courtyard.

Occasionally, voices could be heard from the Central Courtyard at this moment. Most people were eating at home and chatting about interesting things that happened today.

There was only one woman standing and squatting by the side washing clothes. I couldn't see her front clearly, only her back. She had a pretty and round figure, and it was obvious that she was good at giving birth.

The woman seemed to hear the sound and looked back.

Then I saw the third uncle walking towards me with a young man I didn't recognize.

The young man was tall and strong, with a hint of childishness on his handsome face, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, looking at her. Their eyes met and then quickly separated.

Good looking man...

This thought flashed through Qin Huairu's mind and her heart beat faster.

Such a haggard woman...

This was the first thought in Cao Wei's mind. She had some dark circles under her eyes, and her cheeks were slightly sunken. She didn't look very energetic. But she had a good foundation. Even so, she couldn't hide her peach blossom eyes. It should be said that this woman's beauty was not in her skin, but in her temperament. That innate temperament had nothing to do with experience or wealth.

"Third uncle, what are you doing?"

"Oh, Qin Huairu, this is the new resident, the chef of your steel mill."

"This is Qin Huairu from the Intermediate Court. She also works at your steel mill. Well, I won't say much to you. We'll get to know each other at the meeting later."

"Okay, then you're busy."

"Hello, Comrade Huairu." When Cao Wei passed by Qin Huairu, he greeted her and showed a smile that met social expectations.

"Hello..." Qin Huairu didn't say much. She just replied and continued washing clothes.

"Why are they still washing clothes so late at night? This family doesn't know how to care for others. They are so beautiful..." Cao Wei slowed down his pace and muttered something in a voice that Qin Huairu could hear.

Qin Huairu paused while washing clothes, wiped her face with her hands, and continued washing.

"Uncle, why is Comrade Qin Huairu still washing clothes so late?"

"Hey, their family is very complicated." Yan Bugui is a talkative person. "At the end of last year, her husband had an accident at the factory, and she is pregnant with a posthumous child. Life is not easy for her. Her mother-in-law is not easy to deal with either. She scolds this and that all the time. You will know after living here for a while. Oh, here we are. This is it."

The layout of the backyard is relatively simple. In the middle is a big house, which belongs to the deaf old lady. On the left after the door is the second uncle's house, which is relatively large. On the right is Xu Damao's house, which is also not small. Cao Wei is Xu Damao's neighbor. A small house stands in the corner, close to the courtyard wall.

The third uncle took Cao Wei to open the door, and the house was not locked.

The layout of the room is very simple, just a separate bedroom, separated into three small areas, a living room, a kitchen, and a bedroom. It can be seen that the previous owner was quite sentimental. In this era, most people would not plan their houses like this.

"The previous teacher was a teacher in our school. He went to support the construction of western China. He left this house vacant and he lived there comfortably." The third uncle said with some emotion; "It has not been vacant for a long time, only about a month. You can just sweep it and make the bed." At this point, the third uncle paused and said: "I guess you can fix it by yourself. It's not difficult."

"Okay, I can do it myself." Cao Wei agreed happily. He thought it would be a lot of trouble. There was not much in the room, but there were a lot of things left, including two stools and a table. What surprised him was that there was also a cabinet. Nowadays, the "36 legs" and "72 legs" of marriage are indispensable for a "cabinet".

"This cabinet and stool belong to the street office. You have to use them carefully. The street office will check them when you leave. Don't break them." Yan Bugui gave another instruction before leaving.

Oh, it turns out it’s from the street office. My expectations were in vain.

Cao Wei shook his head, bent down, opened his luggage, and began to clean the house.

Before I could clean up, the voice in my head came again.

[Ding, system loading completed! ]

【system? 】

【I am here. 】

【Please introduce yourself.】

[This system is a professional vocational training system. It detects that the host's current occupation is "chef", and officially starts as a "chef training system"]

As the sound fell, the system panel projected itself onto Cao Wei's retina.

There are two sections

One is personal attribute.

One is the system mall.

Cao Wei did not click on the personal attributes first, but opened the system mall. Then he was blinded by the golden mall page.

"What the hell, is this TX Mall?" He couldn't help but complain.

The content on the mall page is not very unique, but the frame is decorated with dragons and phoenixes, and it also has extremely exaggerated gold special effects. The first glance is "rustic", the second glance is "extremely rustic". The third glance is a pause. As the saying goes, don't look at the tacky ones, but the tacky ones are so awesome that it's easy to fall in love with them.

He shook his head to get rid of the outrageous thoughts.

I looked at the content of the page and it was very simple.

【Knife skills training 3000】

【Heat Control 3000】

【Feeding Technology 3000】

【…】

[System, how do I get these points? Do I have to pay with gold?]

Cao Wei knew about this peculiar shopping mall.

[Host, you need to obtain the emotional value of the plot characters to gain points. ]

[Plot characters? In this courtyard?]

Cao Wei suddenly understood.

[Yes, both positive and negative emotions are fine. ]
