Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

Lou Xiao'e had to admit it.

Cao Wei is very charming.

He always gives himself enough emotional value inadvertently.

Whether you are angry or happy.

After meeting him, her emotions were like a roller coaster.

This feeling is intoxicating and somewhat addictive.

But she knew clearly that this situation had to be stopped and could not go on like this.

In other words, Cao Wei didn't know Lou Xiao'e's psychological activities. If he knew, he would definitely smile meaningfully. How is this different from the holy and Buddha-like state that some people reached after opening a blue browser in their previous lives?

Cao Wei stuffed another piece into her hand and put one into his own mouth. The crispy skin and tender meat were baked to the perfect temperature, as if burning in his mouth. The pleasure brought by the fat made the corners of his mouth curl up slightly. Suddenly, he felt a slight pain under his feet. He looked up and saw Lou Xiao'e looking at him angrily.

Cao Wei suddenly realized and wrapped another piece for her.

Lou Xiao'e swore that she really wanted to throw this thing in the man's face.

"I'm telling you something serious."

"Oh, I'm listening. By the way, I want to compliment you on your puffy cheeks. They're very cute."

"You!" Lou Xiao'e was almost immune to Cao Wei's bold remarks. In this era, who would be so pretty as to say "cute"?

"Aren't you asking me what love is?"

"Didn't you say you didn't know?" Lou Xiao'e bit off a piece viciously, as if she was biting an enemy.

"Take your time to savor the delicious food. Don't let it go to waste." Cao Wei took a sip of the soup and said, "Before I kissed you, I said I didn't know. After I kissed you, I knew. This is my answer."

"So-called love has nothing to do with others, but only with oneself. Suicide, loyalty, admiration, hatred, those are other people's emotions, and have nothing to do with me. I will not judge, and I am not qualified to judge. And now you are related to me, and my answer is you. So, what is your answer?"

After saying this, Cao Wei calmly continued to stuff the roast duck into his mouth.

Her answer?

She wanted to say that there was no answer and that it was impossible for her and him to be together.

The confusing warmth of these days is all fake, and we still have to face reality when it’s time to face it.

But when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say them.

"Don't be in such a hurry to answer." Cao Wei took another piece and stuffed it directly into her slightly open mouth.

He immediately pulled Lou Xiao'e back from her thoughts and glared at him.

"Don't glare at me. This is for your own good. Think about it carefully. Damao won't be back for some time anyway. Before Damao comes back, just give me an answer. I won't provoke you these days."

"And what happens when he comes back?"

"If you don't give me an answer after I come back, I will assume that there is no me in your world, and I will give up." Cao Wei shrugged.

"You give up so easily?!"

"Yeah, I don't just want you."

Lou Xiao'e's eyes widened, and she stopped chewing the roast duck in her mouth: "Do you still have any shame?!"

"No, I want you."

"Get out of here!"

----

If we were to say who in the world has the deepest ties with Cao Wei, it would definitely be his master who he has followed since childhood.

He started playing in the kitchen with his father when he was five years old. When he was seven years old, he formally became Liu Sandao's apprentice and learned Sichuan and Shandong cuisine. When he was eleven years old, his father had an accident, and his master and his wife took care of his funeral. After he was eleven years old, he spent most of his time with his master until he was sixteen years old.

In Fengze Garden, after he had completed the three-stove task, the master allowed him to live on his own.

Liu Sandao's family, like most people, lived in a large courtyard. His family was not very prosperous. Over the years, he had taken in several apprentices, but except for Cao Wei, the others were not around. It was really unlucky for him.

The eldest and second disciples returned to their hometowns because of family matters, leaving only the youngest one, Cao Wei.

Fortunately, Cao Wei was a filial and conscientious man. After moving out of his master's house, he would take time out every month to cook a meal for him whenever he had time. He also never missed gifts during festivals. Whenever his master had a headache or fever, he would take time off to come and help.

"Hey, Master Cao is here." He hasn't even entered the door yet.

Aunt Liao greeted Cao Wei happily.

The elders in this courtyard all like Cao Wei very much. After all, everyone will have a good impression of a filial child.

He carried the things to the backyard.

Sure enough, Liu Sandao was lying on a recliner in the backyard resting.

The whole backyard belonged to Liu Sandao. At that time, there were quite a few people in his family. The eldest and second brothers lived at home. It just so happened that it was not yet the time of liberation. The cook of Fengze Garden had a little money, so he simply took over the whole backyard. But he didn't expect that later on, the courtyard would become sparsely populated.

When there were many people in the backyard, the eldest brother's family and the second brother's family all lived here. It was also because Cao Wei felt it was inconvenient that he moved out.

"Master." Cao Wei called respectfully.

Liu Sandao moved slightly, and the recliner made a creaking sound.

Liu Sandao is about sixty years old this year, with a strong physique. Judging from his weight, he must be over 200 pounds. The recliner under him has also endured a lot of grievances.

He looked up and saw the equally muscular Cao Wei, and snorted in response, "Hmm."

Yang Menglan heard the sound in the yard and walked out with a smile on her face. Then she saw Cao Wei alone and her smile disappeared.

"What about the girl?"

"What girl?" Liu Sandao was a little confused.

"I didn't ask you. Xiao Wei, where is the girl you were with this morning? Why didn't you bring her here so I can see her?"

Cao Wei: ...

Well, this reaction is no different from my mother in my previous life.

"I'm sorry." Cao Wei could only reply dryly.

"You've done that and you're still embarrassed. You're not allowed to bully others." Yang Menglan frowned.

"What?" Liu Sandao's curiosity was immediately aroused.

"let me tell you……"

Although Cao Wei was thick-skinned, he was still a little shy if he was publicly executed by his own elders. He quickly interrupted Yang Menglan and said, "Master's wife, where is the fish? I'll go take care of it first."

"Well, go make some sweet and sour fish, stir-fry some shredded potatoes, and steam some rice." Liu Sandao also came back to his senses from his curiosity. Regardless of other things, the serious thing to do is to test the apprentice's level.
