Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

"Why are you going back again?" Xu Damao frowned.

"I can't cook. What's the point of staying here? I can eat better at home." Lou Xiao'e said nonchalantly.

"No, you can't go back!"

"Why? Besides, what am I going to eat if I don't go back?!"

"Come here!" Xu Damao pulled Lou Xiao'e back into the house.

Cao Wei shrugged his shoulders, ignored them, and went straight back to the house.

Take out the rice bag from your net bag and put aside the ones to be washed first.

In this era, most cooking methods were steaming and boiling. Stir-frying was rare. Scrambled eggs were considered a luxury. Most of the time, people packed some food from the factory like an old man and ate it with steamed bread at home. The richer ones might eat white flour steamed bread once a week, which was the best they could do.

As a chef who survived the disaster, each place had its own rules. For example, in Fengze Garden, the manager allowed the chefs to use the ingredients from the backstage to cook a meal for themselves. The garden would not charge for the ingredients, but there was one rule: you could not take the ingredients home. When in Fengze Garden, except for Cao Wei, who was the only chef in the family, most chefs with families would choose to pay and take the food home.

To be honest, except for the apprentices, everyone else who can work in Fengze Garden is not short of money.

The rules at steel rolling mills are similar.

You can eat it, after all, once it comes out of the oven, it will be enough for hundreds of people, but you can't take it back.

Taking it back would break the rules.

It is not much different from when we were at Fengze Garden. Most people choose to pay and take the food back. Of course, after paying, how much the food is depends on you. In short, it is much cheaper than others.

Cao Wei was unwilling to give up the matter, not because he was not picky, but these days, if you cook in the yard, you only need to make a little effort, and everyone will know what you are eating the next day. It's okay to have ordinary steamed buns, but if you eat big fish and meat every day, then you can wait, you will be in trouble.

Therefore, Cao Wei chose to eat his own big pot of food, which was still warm when he came back. If it didn't work, he could just heat it up again in the stove. It was also worry-free and trouble-free.

There was a faint noise coming from outside the door.

There was a quarrel outside the door, and Cao Wei paused while packing his things.

Cao Wei: ???

What? People sit at home, and the division comes from the sky.

With doubts, I opened the points panel and took a glance. Oh, it turned out to be Lou·Scoring Machine·Xiao'e, that's not surprising.

In fact, it is not wrong to say that Lou Xiao'e is a scoring machine. As we all know, people only have time to think about this and that when they are free. If this object is replaced by Qin Huairu, it will definitely not have this effect. Because Qin Huairu has to go to work, and also has to think about how to get a grade, how to increase her salary, what her family will eat, and what housework she has to do after returning home. Even if she is pressed on the kang and "banged", the next day, as long as the end of the world has not come and life has to go on, she will not have much time to think about Cao Wei.

why?

It’s just for a bite of food.

But Lou Xiao'e didn't have such worries. She could eat whenever she wanted. In addition, they didn't have much in common in this courtyard, so all she had to do was think about people.

But what is this woman thinking about? Is she happy and unhappy at the same time?

Before I could think too long, the door rang.

When Cao Wei came out of the inner room, he saw Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e coming in together.

"Brother Damao, aren't you very anxious?" Cao Wei was a little puzzled.

"No, there's something I want to trouble you with. I don't know if it's convenient for you." Xu Damao rubbed his hands, looking enthusiastic. He took out a pack of "two cents and three cents" from his pocket and handed one to Cao Wei.

Cao Wei glanced at Xu Damao's pocket and said, "Brother, I can see the good cigarettes in your pocket, and you're just giving me this?"

"Hehe, I'm just pretending. Look, there's nothing here." Xu Damao took out the cigarette box from his pocket and put it on the table.

"Tsk, brother, you really are..."

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this. Brother, aren't I on a business trip these days? My Xiao'e can't cook by herself, so I was thinking of letting her live with you..." Xu Damao hadn't finished his words.

The screen started to refresh in the background.

My goodness, no wonder Lou Xiao'e had a weird expression on her face when she came in.

Brother Damao, you are such a self-disciplined person.

And Lou Xiao'e, you have a problem too. You are a sheep in a tiger's mouth, and you are showing positive emotions now? You must be seriously ill.

"No, no, no." Cao Wei said three "no's" in a hurry, and lit the cigarette Xu Damao gave him: "No matter how much I talk about this, it's useless."

"No, why not?"

"No, Brother Damao, what are you thinking about?" Cao Wei's eyes became very strange, and he pointed at himself: "Me."

Then he pointed at Lou Xiao'e and said, "Sister-in-law."

Then he pointed back and forth: "You are a single man and a single woman. Look at what you have done. Is it appropriate? If it really doesn't work, you can ask Sister Xiao'e to go to a restaurant. It's not a big deal."

Lou Xiaoe:? ? ?

[Negative emotions +288]

[Negative emotions +188]

[Negative emotions +88]

Good fellow, I don't allow you to come, but you are so negative? Are you trying to put it in my mouth? You must be seriously ill.

In fact, this is Cao Wei's misunderstanding of Lou Xiao'e. She didn't have that intention. She just thought it was interesting. Cao Wei was a wolf, she knew it, but Xu Damao sent her into the wolf's mouth. She didn't feel scared, but felt that her life seemed to have more meaning. She felt a little bit like the later generations of the people who made fun of her. Now the fun of the people who made fun of her can't be seen, so naturally there are negative emotions.

If Cao Wei knew what she was thinking, he would probably say "good guy" again. It is really hard to accept that she would sacrifice herself just for the fun of it.

"Hey!" Xu Damao slapped his thigh and said, "Do you think I don't want to? If it were any other day, I would go to a restaurant if I should, and go home if I should. I, Xu Damao, would never say no. My family doesn't need that."

These words were said to Cao Wei and also to Lou Xiao'e.

However, neither of them was the type to be fooled, so they just watched Xu Damao bragging and performing quietly.

Then, his voice became softer: "You know what? The trend is not right recently."
