Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

In the end, Yu Zhuangzhuang still didn't go.

Wash the vegetables honestly.

Zhao Boxue was so angry.

What Zhao Boxue never expected was.

When he starts to cut the mound, Cao Wei will appear beside him.

"Master? What's going on?"

"What's wrong?" Cao Wei rolled his eyes and took the knife from his hand: "Watch how I cut it."

Cao Wei's standing posture gives people an indescribable feeling. At first glance, it looks a bit strange, but when he raises his hand and starts to cut vegetables, it feels very smooth. How is it smooth? It is probably the refreshing feeling after being constipated for several days and dropping a drop of enema, which is intoxicating.

Zhao Boxue's eyes lit up, and he knew that this master was the real deal!

"A proper chef knows how to stand. If you don't stand properly at the beginning, it will be too late to try to get it right later. Stand properly and watch how I cut. Learn from me."

"Oh."

At this time, Yu Zhuangzhuang was washing vegetables diligently.

The aunt next to him said, "Zhuangzhuang, why don't you go and learn?"

Yu Zhuangzhuang said without even raising his head: "Master asked my senior brother to cut the mounds and didn't let me go. My senior brother asked me to go and tell the master, but I didn't dare."

He lowered his head very low. It was impossible for him to say that he was not disappointed, but he did not have the courage.

"What is there for you to be afraid of, kid? I'll go and tell you."

Speaking of which, Yu Zhuangzhuang is a very likable kid. He works very hard, but he is a little timid.

"Don't... Auntie, I'm fine washing vegetables, I just haven't figured it out yet. I'll tell you when I figure it out."

"That's fine. Don't leave it too late. If you do, I guess your master won't teach you anymore!"

"Um……"

night.

The days go by just like flowing water. Although there are some ups and downs, as a small drop of water, I cannot jump out of the scope of the river.

It's time to get off work, go home, and clean up the house.

"Mom! When can we eat meat?" Banggeng looked at the cabbage leaves on the table with a bitter face and could not eat.

"I see you're just too full, and you still want to eat meat. Should I cut some for you?" Qin Huairu patted Bang Geng's head in annoyance.

Jia Zhangshi didn't get involved. She thought it was fine. Who would eat meat every day? This dish was good. At least it had meat and some lard. Although it was a little cold, it was still well cooked.

"Aren't you helping the cook in the backyard prepare the banquet? When will you go again?"

Qin Huairu frowned: "How can you talk like that! No matter what, he is a generation older than you, you should call him Uncle Cao."

"How can a cook be called Uncle Cao?" Jia Zhang curled her lips.

"Mom! I'm not just any cook. Besides, regardless of whether I'm a cook or not, I shouldn't be called that by Bang Geng."

"Yes, yes, you shouldn't shout, you shouldn't shout." Jia Zhang's tone was sarcastic.

Xiaodang's eyes rolled around, and he asked in a baby voice, "Then Mom, when can we eat Uncle Cao's food?"

"Come to think of it, the dish is really delicious. Hey, didn't he get any work?"

When this topic came up, everyone remembered the food from that day. It was really delicious. It was not just about meat.

"Ah." Qin Huairu sighed, "It's not that easy to accept. Do you really think you can afford anyone? We have only had a good few years. Besides, I guess you won't ask me next time."

"What?" Jia Zhang's eyes widened. "What's the matter? Why can't we be included? Our family has the hardest life in this courtyard."

"The steel mill is going to expand its recruitment, so the canteen has expanded its recruitment first, and Master Cao has assigned two apprentices to us. He felt sorry for our family before, so he helped us out. Now that he has an apprentice, he can no longer take me with him. Besides, it's not appropriate for him to take care of a widow like me."

"Why is it inappropriate? I think it is very suitable." Jia Zhang's voice became a little louder.

Qin Huairu:......

Okay, okay, that's how you want to play, right?

Qin Huairu still shook her head: "Please stop messing around. It won't work no matter how much you mess around."

"How can this be considered a hassle! Those are meat dishes!" Jia Zhang slammed the table.

This is true, there are many people who are willing to risk everything for a piece of meat.

"Well, he's not married yet."

"Yeah." Qin Huairu's heart beat faster: "Isn't that what I'm afraid of? Our family's reputation is not at risk. It's not right for him to get involved with our family when he's not even married yet. It's okay once or twice, but if it goes on for a long time, I guess it'll be hard for an old man to do this."

"Introduce one to him."

"Ah?" Qin Huairu was stunned.

Introduce one to him?

What? Are you cheating on yourself? I am crazy! There is also Lou Xiao'e!

"Look, introduce him to someone. That way, the relationship between our two families will be closer. Besides, it would be appropriate for him to help our family, after all, there is such a relationship. It would be best if the person you introduce is your relative. Yes, your relative from the countryside." Jia Zhang rolled her eyes and said, "Then he would be naturally close to us."

Qin Huairu was shocked at Jia Zhang's train of thought.

But on second thought, it seems... feasible?

After all, there was still Lou Xiao'e. She still remembered the last time she called her "sister". After thinking about it, she guessed that Lou Xiao'e should be like her and could not marry Cao Wei. After all, Lou Xiao'e could not give birth to a son. In terms of the degree of immorality, Lou Xiao'e was much more immoral than herself. After all, there was Xu Damao...

Bah, bah, bah. What are you thinking about? It is Cao Wei who is obviously the wicked one.

It must be him who went to torment Lou Xiao'e.

"Hey, what are you thinking about? Will this thing succeed?" Jia Zhang was a little anxious.

In this day and age, people in a courtyard don't really care about anything except eating and drinking. The difference between having meat and not having meat is huge. Jia Zhangshi made a good plan and got closer to Cao Wei, so there will be more meat in the future. Let Qin Huairu bring a woman from the countryside, and she will fool around a little bit, and life will be beautiful.

I feel excited just thinking about it.

"That's fine. I have a cousin who just turned eighteen this year." Qin Huairu hesitated for a moment: "I just don't know if he likes her."

"No matter if you like him or not, just bring him here first. We can help talk to him later. Besides, his family is in such a poor condition, with both of them working, who will take care of the child? There is no elder at home, so you have to talk to him properly."

"Okay, I'll talk to him about it one of these days." Qin Huairu gritted her teeth and agreed to this matter.

She felt that, to some extent, the choice given by Jia Zhang was the best one.
