Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

Wang Jianjun glanced at the man named Li Yuanchao.

When I saw the military compound, my memory went through it all and I remembered who Li Yuanchao was.

This should be the Li Yuanchao in Bloody Romance, right?

It’s just that the plot of Bloody Romance seems to have only started in the 60s.

Forget it, it’s a TV series after all, so it’s normal to have a little time difference.

Li Yuanchao in the play is a man with both brains and background.

As for the male protagonist Zhong Yuemin in the play, he also seems to have come from a military compound.

He watched this drama when he was a student. He didn't remember the specific plot, but he remembered that he envied Zhong Yuemin's free and easy life at that time.

Later when I grew up I found out that this guy was a complete scumbag.

Meet a new one, fall in love with her, then change to another one.

As for Li Yuanchao, he is not a good guy either. He seems even worse now than in the drama.

Wang Jianjun was too lazy to care about the mess between Chen Li and him.

But since Li Yuanchao had dared to set his sights on Shen Chuxia before, he had to take it seriously.

Although this guy is a weakling in his eyes, he has a father who is a high-ranking official.

If you want to do something bad, there are plenty of ways to do it.

Thinking of this, Wang Jianjun couldn't help but squint his eyes.

It seems... a threat.

Wang Jianjun secretly took note of the community where the other person lived.

This guy has a strong family background, let’s find out more about the situation first.

After looking at Chen Li who was still crying, Wang Jianjun sighed and left.

There was some sympathy, but not much.

You choose your own path, and you must bear the consequences yourself.

If there's a need to deal with this guy in the future, I'll just take it as revenge for you.

Wang Jianjun passed by the other person silently like a passerby.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Li's empty eyes finally regained some spirit.

Look at the money on the ground.

Chen Li smiled self-deprecatingly and squatted down to pick it up.

He flattened the bills one by one and held them tightly in his hand.

When she looked towards the military compound again, her eyes were filled with hatred.

After wiping her tears, Chen Li turned around and left without saying anything else.

When Wang Jianjun returned to the courtyard, there was a basket of cabbages hanging symbolically behind his bicycle.

In addition to the cabbage, there are also a few pork shank bones on top.

As soon as I entered the door, the third uncle greeted me:

"Jianjun is back. The coal you asked Jiecheng to buy has been piled up next to your window. Can you go back and check it out yourself?"

"Hey, what are you doing? I still don't trust Jie Cheng."

Yan Bugui smiled and continued:

"Jianjun, if you need this kind of work in the future, tell Uncle San. I'll arrange for Jie Cheng to do it for you. He's clumsy in his work, so I have to explain it to him."

"No problem, Third Uncle."

Wang Jianjun also guessed what Yan Bugui was thinking.

This is to act as an intermediary and earn commission.

Naturally, all the money earned from working for Yan Jiecheng will belong to him.

But if Yan Jiecheng is asked to do the work through Yan Bugui.

Then Yan Bugui can reasonably deduct some of the agency fees.

This is indeed the case. Yan Bugui was jealous of Yan Jiecheng for making some money for Wang Jianjun by moving coal, so he came up with this idea to take advantage of his son.

Wang Jianjun saw through it but didn't say anything, as it was Yan Bugui's own business anyway.

"By the way, Jianjun, why did you buy so many bones? There's no meat at all. It's not worth it at all."

Yan Bugui noticed a few bones on Wang Jianjun's basket of cabbage. There was not even any minced meat on them. Such bones are usually given as gifts by the ribs stall owner when buying ribs.

"Hey, I just happened to sell some cabbage. So I thought I'd buy some bones to make soup for a hot pot."

"Then...then you put cabbage in the hot pot?"

"Of course not. There are still bones."

The corner of Yan Bugui's mouth twitched. He felt embarrassed to take advantage of the food with such a poor quality.

This is exactly the effect Wang Jianjun wants.

He doesn't want to settle for anything less than an occasional meal at home.

Just use some bones without any meat on them to fool these people.

When they arrived at the middle courtyard, Jia Zhang was ordering Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu to move cabbages to the cellar.

There is a cellar in the middle courtyard, which belongs to Sha Zhu's family.

In the central courtyard, Yi Zhonghai's Jia family and even the old deaf man in the backyard stored their cabbages with him.

Wang Jianjun glanced at the cellar.

This place is a holy place for extramarital affairs in Siheyuan novels, and I don’t know whether it is true or not.

Speaking of which, Sha Zhu has become much closer to the Jia family recently.

He was sharp-eyed and noticed that Sha Zhu's eyes were always secretly on Qin Huairu.

Obviously the drunkard's intention is not the wine.

I don’t know if Jia Dongxu had a chance to become Jia Donglu before he was hung on the wall.

When he returned to the backyard, just as the third uncle had said, Yan Jiecheng had already laid out the coal for him.

The weather was cold, so Wang Jianjun lit the coal stove as soon as he entered the house.

I chopped up the bones and added some ribs to make the soup.

As for the ingredients for hot pot, it is naturally impossible that they are just cabbage.

Take a few pounds of mutton and beef and cut them into thin slices, add common hot pot ingredients such as frozen tofu, mushrooms, lamb tripe, beef tripe, yellowthroat black fish fillets, etc.

These ingredients are all produced in my own space.

At this time of year, even the food at Donglaishun is not as abundant as the food on my table.

Take out the copper stove hot pot from the space and put burning charcoal in it.

Pour the cooked broth into the hot pot and simmer over low heat.

He took out two more bottles of soda and two bottles of beer.

Just as I was about to sit down, I suddenly remembered something and quickly stood up and locked the door from the inside.

Okay, now no one will bother me.

Wang Jianjun sat back at the dining table, opened a bottle of beer and took a sip.

Only then did he start to pick up a few slices of beef, toss them in the hot pot, dip them in the sauce and put them into his mouth.

The long-lost taste of beef hotpot.

The first bite feels fresh and fragrant.

The cattle that graze on the grassland may have a little old meat, but it tastes great when used to make hot pot.

Today was the first time he killed a cow and ate its meat.

There were only a few dozen cows in the space, not a large number, and he usually couldn't bear to slaughter them for food.

Because this cow is quite old, it is not suitable for breeding if it is kept any longer.

So Wang Jianjun found several young cows for him in the last stage of his life, which was considered to be his way of doing justice to him.

Although the old cow is old, it is full of flavor.

Wang Jianjun also took some beef and made some beef balls.

It is made of pure meat and is very elastic when eaten.

This kind of Chaoshan cuisine is not easy to find in the old city.

After eating a few bites of meat, Wang Jianjun felt very satisfied.

But I feel that this hotpot is a little lacking.

After a little thought, I realized that there was a lack of seafood.

In my previous life, when I had hotpot at home, we would always put ingredients like squid, swimming crabs, and mantis shrimp in it.

It seems like I'll have a chance to go to the beach.

The livestock and wild animals in Inner Mongolia have been collected almost completely. After a while, we will switch to another map to collect food.

He still remembered the large undeveloped sea area in the space.

That is an area several times larger than the ground.

It would be a waste not to make use of it.
