Siheyuan: I am invincible with my portable space

In this drama, Ma Hua was originally the apprentice of the protagonist 'Zhu Zi'.

To show his honesty and hard work.

Before this, he somehow joined the staff team of the second restaurant kitchen managed by Chen Mu.

Since Chen Mu had read the script, he had obviously anticipated that his future role would be that of an apprentice.

For this reason, Chen Mu decided to let Ma Hua do some work by his side.

He planned to consider accepting him as his third apprentice later.

The other students were jealous of this treatment.

Many of them were eager to become Chen Mu's **.

Unexpectedly, MCA had already seized some advantages shortly after its entry.

Although others were wary of MCA, they did not go directly to him to raise issues.

Because they knew very well that if Chen Mu knew about this, their fate would not be good.

As for Sha Zhu, he was completely unaware of all this.

He just had a dream like Chen Mu, with a ** following him around.

Not long after, Sha Zhu accepted a new apprentice into the team - this new member was the fat man in the TV series.

At this moment, Chen Mu couldn't help feeling uneasy.

Because the image of the fat man in the original drama is that of a cunning and selfish person. He once set a trap for Sha Zhu in Yan Jiecheng's restaurant, which can be regarded as an act of "betraying his teacher and ancestors."

But the good news is that evildoers will eventually get their reward.

The fat man was eventually fired by Yan Jiecheng in the true sense of the word.

The reason for this is that Sha Zhu noticed the fat man's misconduct, so he was cautious in teaching him cooking skills, which resulted in the fat man ultimately being only a half-baked apprentice.

When he returned home, Chen Mu heard some noise coming from the Jia family's household, as if they were arguing about something.

He learned that this was because after Jia Dongxu left home, Jia Zhang had been finding fault with Qin Huairu and complaining about the poor quality of the dishes at home from time to time, and the neighbors were helpless about the matter.

Everyone sympathized with Qin Huairu's situation. "This Jia Zhang is such a headache. She blames the daughter-in-law without considering the actual situation of the family. Qin Huairu is really pitiful.

"During the meal, Chen Mu's mother defended Qin Huairu.

She went on to say, “If Sister Qin doesn’t live a good life like this, it will be fatal.

It's winter, and this morning I saw her washing clothes with a bulging belly. She looked really tired.

"

Xiao Yun was also angry: "It would be unusual for Qin Huairu to find another place to live with her child, isn't it?"

“I understand her character and the age of the child.

Now that she is pregnant, she naturally cannot leave this family.

But in the future, when children are born and they earn some income by working in a factory, it will not be so easy.

Who can tolerate such harsh criticism of parents-in-law by Jia Zhang?

"Mother Chen said with emotion.

“I’m also worried that once things in the factory are settled, Qin Huairu might do something surprising.

"Xiao Yun said with a frown on her face, which made Chen Mu secretly laugh.

"Once the steel rolling mill was on track, Qin Huairu became the core supporter of the family.

"Chen Mu answered.

“At that time, Jia Zhangshi would not dare to speak carelessly anymore, in case Qin Huairu really dumped the old woman.

"

Xiao Yun nodded slightly, and Chen's mother's expression seemed to relax a little. Then everyone continued to enjoy this home-cooked dinner.

The next morning, another piece of news reached Chen Mu'er - he needed to go to his superior's place to be responsible for cooking.

As expected, the special car arrived on time again to pick us up.

Arriving at the destination quickly, he walked skillfully into the living room and greeted the person in charge.

When approaching the other party, Chen Mu observed: The superior seemed to be in a bad mood, "Master, you don't look very good. From your appearance, it seems that you are lacking in energy and blood. You can't work at the expense of your health.

"

"Xiao Mu, I didn't expect you to be a doctor. You really impressed me a lot.

"The person in charge replied with a smile.

"Xiao Mu said: "Since my mother fell ill, I have had some time to read some medical books, so I have mastered some basic knowledge.

The problem seems to be overwork and unbalanced diet.

I have been really busy in recent months and my appetite has been poor. I always feel that the cooking skills of the chef at home are not right.

"The person in charge showed a worried look on his face. "In that case, how about I cook a few dishes for you as a tonic?"

When the suggestion was made, the superior’s face lit up—if exquisite cooking skills could be combined with knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, it would definitely promote recovery.

Somehow, the superiors always rely on Chen Muru for their lifeline.

The next series of tasks included making a list of ingredients and having the steward go out to purchase them. During this period of waiting, the two began a chess game.

Soon, the ingredients and medicinal materials were purchased successfully, and Chen Mu got up and prepared to go into the kitchen to cook.

The first thing served is a meal full of nutrition and medicinal food that regulates the spleen and stomach. Millet and Codonopsis pilosula porridge, paired with lotus seeds, nourishes the spleen and stomach, nourishes the spirit, and has the effect of strengthening the spleen and replenishing qi.

Next comes the second dish - pigeon meat soup with red dates and wolfberries.

It not only improves immunity and soothes the throat, but is also particularly helpful for those with weak constitutions to recover their health;

Next is the third dish: pigeon stewed with Codonopsis pilosula, in which the Codonopsis pilosula can increase the body's vitality and endurance and relieve fatigue.

The fourth course ends with the medicinal food ingredients that Chen Mu is good at, which promote blood circulation and metabolism in the body through the cooperation of various ingredients.

After two hours of preparation, all the mixed dishes were placed on the table one by one.

"Xiao Mu, your technique is truly extraordinary. I feel refreshed just by smelling the aroma.

"The person in charge said to Chen Mu.

"

Since there were no other guests to disturb them, the leader suggested that Chen Mu stay with him.

Therefore, Chen Mu began to introduce the dishes to the leader one by one, and then helped to open the lid of the steaming pot.

Instantly, the rich aroma of pigeon soup filled the air, and the housekeeper and secretary standing nearby couldn't help but salivate.

The leader felt a sudden burst of hunger, so he picked up his chopsticks and began to devour the food without any hesitation. In a few moments, he was so full that he could not stand up.

Afterwards, after taking the carefully stewed medicinal food, I immediately felt refreshed, and the previous fatigue seemed to be washed away.

It was a pleasant surprise to discover the secret of using aged wood to prepare delicious food.

For those who are getting older and often suffer from various physical discomforts, there will be more opportunities in the future to take Chen Mu to visit close friends and taste medicinal food together.

Not long after the leader finished his meal, Chen Mu packed up and left.

He went to the furniture factory specifically to find Master Wang and borrowed a cart to deal with possible situations - Xiao Yun might have an emergency.

Considering that Xiao Yun was pregnant with twins, it was always safer and more reliable to prepare in advance.

After receiving the design drawings from Chen Mu, Master Wang was so excited that he didn't even ask for an advance payment.

After saying goodbye to Master Wang, Chen Mu drove the cart back to the courtyard.

As soon as I entered the door, I met the third uncle.

"Xiao Mu, what's going on with this cart? Is Xiao Yun having a difficult delivery?" The third uncle asked anxiously, thinking that Xiao Yun would be arranged to be admitted to the hospital for delivery.

Chen Mu explained: “In order to prevent any accidents, I think it is necessary to prepare a trolley in advance.

At that time, we can send the patient directly to the hospital to avoid any hassle.

"

As soon as he got home, Chen Mu told his mother about his thoughts and actions.

Chen's mother admired Chen Mu for his meticulousness.

"My child, I understand your concerns, and I am relieved to have your thoughtful consideration.

"

"By the way, if there is an accident and I'm outside, you can use a cart to take Xiao Yun to the hospital first.

Chen Mu warned.

Looking at the deep affection between mother and son in the conversation, Xiao Yun's heart was filled with gratitude.

Thinking back on Qin Huairu's living conditions in the Jia family made her feel more satisfied with her current happiness.

Some time later, a custom-made crib was also brought into the house.

Master Wang lived up to his reputation as a neighbor and accurately reflected Chen Mu’s design on the bed.

Chen's mother and Xiao Yun were very interested in this new thing. They operated it back and forth and enjoyed it.

During this period, the courtyard was peaceful and calm, with only the occasional sharp voice of Zhang from the Jia family making people feel a little bit of disharmony.

Xu Damao's daily life has become more fulfilling and interesting.

Chen Mu often saw him strolling around the community with his son Xu Ping and daughter Xu An Ning, and occasionally he would see Li Mei walking with them.

Whenever this happened, Chen Mu would sigh that fate was predestined and the arrival of love was also destined.

Sha Zhu has also been restless recently - he learned that his wife Liu Xiao'e was pregnant again. Although he was glad that he didn't have to celebrate with a lot of candies, he was still worried about causing controversy among the neighbors.

However, as time went on, Yi Zhonghai's impression of Liu Xiao'e continued to deepen, and even the old ladies would chat with Liu Xiao'e from time to time.

Brother Zhuzi did not raise any objection to this. After all, his life was extremely good now, so he no longer cared about the disputes of the past.

Before we knew it, it was the end of the year and the factory’s year-end assessment had started again.

Chen Mu's technical level had already exceeded the general standard in the workshop, so he was transferred to another canteen and became a judge.

In order to avoid criticism and also at the request of Director Ma, Old Wu from Canteen 1 went to Canteen 2 to carry out the assessment together with Li Feng.

The result satisfied everyone. The two apprentices were successfully promoted and became top chefs. Li Feng's life became more smooth.

Hearing that Zhang Li was nearly seven months pregnant, Chen Mu was filled with emotion.

At the urging of his family, Old Wu also began to prepare a plan to introduce someone to someone.

After a rigorous assessment, the steel mill paid out salaries in the afternoon.

This means that the annual holiday has quietly arrived.

The whole city of Peking was enveloped in a strong festive atmosphere.

Just like the rush at the end of every year, Chen Mu took his salary as usual and went out to buy New Year's goods.

He also bought a lot of extra vegetables and stored them in the computing space without anyone knowing.

This was the first New Year after the first food crisis. Supplies on the streets became more abundant, so Chen Mu bought a wider variety of things.

Back in the courtyard, every family was busy sweeping the floor, cleaning, and pasting couplets in preparation for the New Year.

Xiaohua couldn't wait to paste the couplets she bought herself.
