Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

"Cao Wei!" Lou Xiao'e's voice became louder, then she lowered it again when she realized that many people were still sleeping.

"Sister-in-law?" Cao Wei smiled in a way that met social expectations.

This smile made her stunned for a moment.

She remembered what he said yesterday: "give up."

I felt inexplicably nervous.

But he immediately raised his head and said to Cao Wei: "There's something wrong with you!"

Cao Wei was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"That's it..." Lou Xiao'e babble on about the conclusion she came up with yesterday, then looked at Cao Wei smugly: "Tell me, why are you so familiar with me! Why are you so sure that I dare not report you?"

Cao Wei smiled and said, "Is there a possibility that I think you will fall in love with me?"

As soon as these words came out, Lou Xiaoe's expression flashed a trace of panic: "You, you, you, you, what are you talking about."

"Hey, that's not important. Good love is a two-way journey. If you don't want to, I won't force you. It'll only take a few days. Don't worry, I will keep a proper distance. I know my limits in this regard." Cao Wei waved his hand, then turned around and left, leaving Lou Xiao'e standing there in a daze.

She pursed her lips and muttered something. Cao Wei was right, but her mood became very bad.

At this moment, Cao Wei’s backstage was flooded with messages.

It’s worthy of you, Lou·scoring machine·Xiao’e.

Sometimes, talent is incomparable.

"Master Cao, Master Cao?" Qin Huairu caught up with Cao Wei just as he walked out of the courtyard gate.

"What's wrong, Sister Qin?" Cao Wei has long legs and usually walks faster, so he always keeps to himself.

"That thing, that thing..." Qin Huairu took a few breaths, and her conscience jumped around a few times.

"I know, helping in the kitchen, right?" Cao Wei took it over.

"Yes, yes, yes, I want to go. Can you take me with you?" Qin Huairu asked hopefully.

This was the result of her discussion with Jia Zhang. Jia Zhang believed that Cao Wei would never be interested in Qin Huairu. There were perverts in this era, but they were few, not because of their high quality, but because the price they had to pay was too high. In serious cases, they would be served with peanuts, and in the next case, they would be paraded through the streets. She believed that Cao Wei did not have the guts.

Only then did he agree with Qin Huairu's idea.

Cao Wei smiled and said, "Okay, it's settled then. I'll call you when there's work to do next time."

Nowadays, there are not so many requirements for preparing banquets. Most banquets are held during holidays, so there won’t be too many conflicts.

"Okay." Qin Huairu rummaged through her bosom again, took out the sachet, and handed it to Cao Wei reluctantly: "Here, I'll give it back to you."

"Take it. It's a gift for you."

"How can this be possible? This is not you..."

"Hi, I have something else to do, so I'll go first. We'll talk later." Cao Wei took two quick steps and even ran.

Qin Huairu was stunned by what she saw.

He lowered his head to look at the sachet again, sighed, and put it back in his arms.

I'll give it back to him next time.

She thought so in her heart.

Cao Wei had just entered the canteen for a few days, but he was already living like a seasoned veteran. When he arrived at the kitchen, he made tea first, without thinking about anything else. It can only be said that some people are born to adapt to various environments.

While making tea, I was thinking about Qin Huairu's attitude.

If there was some romance before, now it is completely businesslike.

So, Jia Zhang made a move?

Cao Wei never believed that Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu were enemies.

Maybe Jia Zhang would look at Qin Huairu, but she would never torture her. Even if she did, it was in the past. Now, the family depends on Qin Huairu. If she really pushes Qin Huairu to the edge, she will be the one who suffers, and someone might even die.

What Jia Zhang had to guard against was that Qin Huairu would abandon the Jia family and marry herself off.

These days, widows are encouraged to remarry. If Qin Huairu is really cruel, no one will say anything. To be honest, she is still very popular.

Therefore, he was not surprised that Jia Zhangshi put obstacles in his way.

What he needs to know is, what did this old woman say to Qin Huairu?

He shook his head, picked up the cup, and was about to take a sip when he made two "Pooh" sounds.

Wei Wei came over in a hurry.

"You're finally here. Come on, Director Li wants to see you."

"Looking for me?" Cao Wei was a little confused.

My goodness, it’s only what time now and the boss has already arrived at the factory? How cool!

"Okay, let's go. Wait a minute, I'll give it a try."

"Hey, what are you still doing? I'll give you a can of my alcohol later."

"Oh, you are very generous."

"Let's go, stop being so poor."

Inside the office.

Li Huaide was processing a document. When he saw Wei Wei bringing someone in, he pointed to the stool and said, "Sit down. I'll finish the one on hand first." Then he opened the drawer and threw a pack of cigarettes to Cao Wei.

Wei Wei looked at Cao Wei with some envy: "Director, if there is nothing else, I will leave first. The goods have arrived today and I have to go to coordinate."

The canteen director has a lot of work to do every day, the most important of which is to coordinate supplies.

"Well, you go."

Cao Wei didn't hesitate to open the package and light one for himself.

In the time it takes to smoke a cigarette, Li Huaide finished processing the documents.

Seeing Cao Wei's expression, he nodded at him and said, "Can't you behave yourself?"

"Uncle, I'm just a cook, why should I be formal?"

"Okay, okay, tell me what you said that day at my house. You said Liu Lan was your apprentice. My goodness, your sister-in-law told me that after you left."

The conversation between the two seemed like they were just chatting about family matters, but it was obvious that there was something else behind their words.

Cao Wei is also a shrewd man.

She sipped her food nonchalantly, "What else? What should I say? When people go out to cook, it's usually the master who brings his apprentice along. The person you found can't even wash the vegetables properly. It will be troublesome if the master asks about it later."

Li Huaide's eyes flickered. He was not sure whether Cao Wei knew something or was simply dissatisfied.

"It's hard to find someone to come on short notice, so I just randomly ordered someone to come. The job of serving the dishes still needs to be done by female comrades."

"Then please give me some time to wash the vegetables next time."

"She's clumsy?"

"That's not it."

"Then why do you have so many requests?"

"Without so many requirements, you can't cook good food."

"You, you." Li Huaide sighed, opened the drawer again, and took out two packs of cigarettes: "Here, this is for you, as a reward. I know your rules, this is enough, right?"

Two peonies are worth more than that.
