Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

The city becomes more desolate in autumn.

Qin Jianguo sat in front of his stall and wiped the sweat off his face. At this moment, it was his eldest son who was working.

His braised meat restaurant was somewhat successful. In addition to selling braised meat, he also started a fast food business.

There are two children in the family, the eldest and the second child, who did not separate and worked honestly together. His shop was in a good location. In the first year, with the introduction of his brother-in-law, he borrowed money from the bank and bought the whole shop, which was about 100 square meters. The eldest and the second child were also very hardworking and their cooking skills were not bad at all.

At least, I learned a little and can cook some side dishes.

For fast food workers, there is not much requirement for technical skills.

With a braised meat base, they just made some side dishes every day. As time went by, there were more and more seasonings on the market, and they became more and more convenient. His shop became more and more handy.

The only bad thing is that the elderly in the family refused to come up.

It is said that the land in the village must be protected.

Although Qin Jianguo emphasized many times that the family can make money.

Stop talking about him.

The second brother is now the big boss.

But the two elders wouldn't listen. A few years ago, the second son even went to the countryside specially for this matter, tidied up the rooms in his home, and built a small one- or two-story Western-style house, which made the two elders very happy.

Looking at the people coming and going on the street, Qin Jianguo couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly.

How great it is, I can earn money.

My son has found a place to stay.

His parents at home also had a good house. He was thinking whether he and his wife should return to their hometown in a few years.

After being out for many years, he began to miss his days in the countryside.

He turned around and said to his wife who was sewing clothes next to him, "Hey, what do you think about us moving back to the countryside in a few years?"

The wife rolled her eyes and said, "Don't drag me into this, I'm living well here."

Qin Jianguo smacked his lips, feeling a little regretful. He wanted to go back and live there.

"Uncle, why are you here?" The voice of his eldest son was heard outside.

"Come to see your dad, is he in there?"

"here I am."

Cao Wei opened the door and walked in: "Hey, brother, my sister-in-law is here."

"Brother-in-law is here, come, come, sit down." Qin Jianguo happily invited Cao Wei to sit down. To be honest, their family could have such a good life today, all thanks to this brother-in-law.

As soon as Cao Wei sat down, his sister-in-law brought him some water. While she was carrying the child, she said, "You know, life is getting better now. Just now he told me that he wanted to go back to his hometown. What do you think of this?"

As soon as he arrived, he filed a complaint.

To be honest, the relationship between the two families is actually quite good.

Qin Jianguo and Qin Jianjun have always doted on Qin Jingru.

However, after Qin Jingru got married, they lived in the countryside while Qin Jingru lived in the city, and they could only see each other during the Chinese New Year. They talked and laughed when they came back, but they were somewhat unfamiliar. Later, with the introduction of Qin Jingru and the help of Cao Wei, they came to Sijiu City and opened this braised meat shop, and their relationship was restored.

People from the Cao family love to come to this braised meat shop to buy some food whenever they have time.

Sometimes when he's bored, he'll often come over to chat.

The two families get along happily.

As for Qin Jianjun, there is no need to say more. He is now working under Cao Wei, and his braised meat stall is doing very well.

"Hey, sister-in-law, if big brother wants to go, then he can go. Think about it, you didn't want to go back to the countryside before because it was poor and hard. Now you and big brother, do you lack money? You don't lack money, do you? If you go back, you will have everything. You can get a telephone line, a TV, and a motorcycle. You can do whatever you want. The road over there is now, and it only takes 20 to 30 minutes to ride a motorcycle over there."

"Go wherever you want. There's no need to argue about it."

"That's right!" Qin Jianguo slapped his thigh, "This is not the same as before. It takes a whole day to make trouble."

In fact, this matter is also related to Cao Wei. His farm was built on the vacant land near Qinjia Village and gradually expanded outward. For a farm, whether there is a road to the city is still very important. Cao Wei thought about it and decided to pay for the road. He could make money, and as a Chinese, he could support national construction. What's wrong?

Nothing wrong with it.

Thus, a road was built smoothly.

It’s quick to get to the city.

"That's right. I still think the same way." The eldest sister-in-law also laughed: "I was afraid of the trouble before."

"Yeah, if you want to go, go. If it doesn't work out, come back. It's not that big of a deal."

With such a small store in this location, they can earn a lot of money every year. To some extent, it is not an exaggeration to say that Qin Jianguo's family is financially free. After all, it is only the 90s. In addition, Cao Wei persuaded them to buy a few houses. In the future, as long as there are no prodigal sons, there should be no big problems within three generations.

"Oh, by the way." Cao Wei took out the invitation from his arms: "Le Yao is getting married at the end of next month. When the time comes, everyone should come and show their support."

"Ah? Le Yao is getting married?! That's great!" Qin Jianguo was truly happy for Cao Le Yao.

In his opinion, marriage is something that one must experience in life, and it is impossible not to get married.

"Le Yao is getting married, will Jing Ru be reluctant to let her go?"

"Can't bear to let her go?" Qin Jianguo laughed: "Back then, when she got married, she wanted to jump out of the house. I guess her daughter is the same as her, but it doesn't matter. It's always good to be happy. It's always good."

After a few more pleasantries, Cao Wei left.

He turned around and went to Samadhi Tower.

Qin Jingru was busy preparing for her daughter's wedding, and Cao Wei felt that he couldn't fall behind.

And now, he has found his eldest disciple.

Zhao Boxue looked at his chef with some trepidation as he tasted the dish he had made.

The dishes are simple, classic Sichuan cuisine, Mapo Tofu.

It was just like what he made for his own master back then.

Take a spoonful, put it in your mouth, close your eyes, and savor it carefully.

After a while, he opened his eyes and exhaled softly: "Not bad, 95% of the level."

Zhao Boxue couldn't help but smile.

"Then it's up to you to decide on Le Yao's wedding banquet. Bring Zhuang Zhuang with you, and you two can do it together."

"Okay, Master, what should we prepare for the banquet?"

"Don't be too outrageous, just follow the standards of our restaurant. This time, there are quite a lot of people coming, from all walks of life, you have to do well and don't ruin our reputation."

"Don't worry, Master. I will definitely arrange everything for you." Zhao Boxue assured, patting his chest.
