Siheyuan: I am the God of Cooking, and all the birds are crying with envy!

Parallel world, a place where brains are stored.

Early autumn of 1964.

Courtyard No. 95, Luoguxiang, South of the old city.

He Yuzhu sat on the steps with a sad face, looking up at the sky, feeling a little disappointed.

The reason for this is that an incident occurred three days ago.

When he was competing for the championship in the 24th MasterChef competition, his stove suddenly exploded!

The incident happened so suddenly that he lost consciousness before he even had time to call for help.

When he woke up again, he found that he had traveled back to the body of He Yuzhu, a character with the same name and surname as in the TV series "Courtyard".

In the poor 60s, everyone was still struggling to fill their stomachs.

After three days, he finally understood that there was no way back.

The only thing that made him feel a little relieved was that he also obtained the golden finger of the time traveler.

【Chef God System! 】

[When the food you make satisfies others, you will get a mysterious reward. ]

[Rewards are not limited to items and skills, but can also strengthen and improve his taste and cooking skills. ]

In his previous life, his biggest goal was to reach the pinnacle of culinary skills and become a chef who stood out from the crowd and was highly respected by others.

And this system is tailor-made for him!

The only thing that annoyed him was that supplies were extremely scarce in that era. Not to mention seasonings, even ingredients were particularly scarce.

"Hey~"

After a long sigh, He Yuzhu patted the dust off his clothes, put his hands behind his back, and planned to go home to make some simple food to fill his stomach.

At the same time, Qin Huairu was holding a porcelain basin containing several pieces of clothes that needed to be washed.

She was wearing a blue work uniform with her sleeves rolled up. Although she was already a mother of three children, the years had not left many marks on her face.

Qin Huairu twisted her curvaceous body, her eyes were seductive, her eyebrows were curved, and she came close to He Yuzhu and whispered softly:

"Zhu Zi, are you feeling better? When are you going to work? Do you have any dirty clothes at home? Bring them over so I can wash them for you."

Qin Huairu's voice was very soft and gentle, yet it also contained a hint of flattery and ambiguity.

She is a widow, but she is particularly close to her original self!

Qin Huairu's man, Jia Dongxu, died in a factory accident three years ago.

The pressure of life forced her to take over Jia Dongxu's job and support her mother-in-law, Jia Zhang, and their three children.

With a monthly salary of 27 yuan, life is a bit tight, but it's manageable.

But there was one thing that made He Yuzhu, who traveled through time, extremely disgusted!

Qin Huairu has been lying on the original body sucking blood! Feed their family!

Looking at Qin Huairu's face full of charm and calculation, He Yuzhu sneered in his heart. He is no longer the same He Yuzhu!

He knew Qin Huairu's purpose very well!

"Oh! Comrade Qin Huairu! I won't bother you with my clothes. Don't get so close to me in the future. I still need to get married!"

It is said that there are many troubles at a widow's door. He is not the original one, and he will never be a bootlicker for Qin Huairu again.

I don't want to be associated with her, to be taken advantage of! To be sucked blood by Qin Huairu!

Qin Huairu was stunned by He Yuzhu's harsh words and disgust.

She used the same old trick again, showing a pitiful expression, as if she was about to cry but couldn't.

He Yuzhu actually stopped calling her Sister Qin and started calling her Comrade Qin Huairu!

She had a feeling that He Yuzhu seemed to have lost control and was particularly cold to her!

This won't do! We can't let this happen!

Without He Yuzhu, who would raise her and the children?

Qin Huairu threw away the clothes in her hands, grabbed He Yuzhu's sleeve, and said sadly:

"Zhu Zi, did I do something wrong?"

"Why are you still estranged from me? Don't I care about you? Why are you still angry with me?"

He Yuzhu glanced at the hand that was pulling at his sleeve like an octopus, shook it off, and took a few steps back.

His eyes were icy, his face was as black as ink, and he warned in a serious tone:

"Qin Huairu, they say widows are prone to gossip. You shamelessly pester me. Don't show your affection to others. I still need to marry a wife!"

"I don't want you to be so pushy with me in the future. What will others think of me?"

Qin Huairu was stunned. Did He Yuzhu want them to keep a certain distance?

That won't do! She firmly disagrees!

Sha Zhu is her family’s long-term meal ticket!

She raised her head, her eyes were red and tears were welling up in them.

"Zhu Zi, it's my fault. I will be more careful next time."

"But... Zhuzi, can you please stop ignoring me? Ever since Dongxu left, you've been the best to me."

"Without you to help me, what will I do in the future?"

Qin Huairu raised her sleeves to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

She secretly glanced at He Yuzhu and saw that he looked indifferent and not angry. She thought she had persuaded He Yuzhu and told him the real purpose of her visit.

"Zhu Zi, my family is running low on food this month. Can you help me get some more food? Or give me some money as a loan, and I'll pay you back when I get my salary."

If it were normal, as long as she cried, smiled, or expressed sorrow, He Yuzhu would agree immediately.

But this time, He Yuzhui was beyond Qin Huairu's expectations.

There was a sneer on He Yuzhu's face and his eyes were full of sarcasm and disgust.

"Qin Huairu, you borrowed a lot of money from me time and time again, and every time you said you would pay it back when you got your salary. I have borrowed 200 to 300 yuan from you, and I have never seen you pay me back once."

"As a person, you should keep your word. As the saying goes, if you borrow, you must return. It will not be difficult to borrow again."

"You can continue to borrow money if you want! Just write me an IOU for 200 yuan first, and I won't charge you any interest on the money I lent you before."

"Wait until you write the IOU, then we can talk about borrowing money."

Qin Huairu was a little dumbfounded! Her trick that had always worked failed again. Why didn't her plan work?

How come tears are so worthless?

Qin Huairu gritted her teeth. She really had no money on her and was counting on borrowing money from He Yuzhu. She could only nod and agree.

But he thought to himself that as long as He Yuzhu was still willing to lend him money, it would not matter if he wrote an IOU, since he was not planning to pay it back anyway.

"Okay, Zhuzi, I'll beat you! Can you tell me what happened? Did I do something wrong to make you unhappy?"

He Yuzhu ignored her. He walked into the room, took out paper and pen, quickly wrote the IOU on the paper and handed it to Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu glanced at He Yuzhu pitifully and found that he was unmoved, so she looked at the IOU reluctantly.

The IOU was very detailed, listing out the time, place, and amount of money owed.

The total amount is 200 yuan.

However, looking at the IOU, she was reluctant to put her pen to paper, as she always felt that something was wrong!

He Yuzhu is no longer the same He Yuzhu, and he won't be easily fooled by her.

But there is no solution if Qin Huairu refuses to sign.

He Yuzhu's eyes turned, and he became thoughtful. He pretended to sigh, as if he was in a particularly difficult situation.

"Sister Qin, I don't want this to happen either. I'm already this old, and it's time for me to find someone to marry. You should understand my feelings."

"But your mother-in-law, Jia Zhang, has always been standing in the way..."

"I've thought of this idea. I can lend you the money, and you can write me an IOU. When the money is enough and your mother-in-law can't afford to pay you back, maybe we can be together. Don't you think so?"

Regarding Qin Huairu, who had deceived her original self all her life.

He Yuzhu didn't have any thoughts at all, and even felt particularly disgusted.

He said that just now to make Qin Huairu relax her guard.

As long as he has the IOU in hand, he can directly cut off his relationship with Qin Huairu!

If Qin Huairu dares to bother him again, He Yuzhu can ask Qin Huairu for the debt.

Want to take advantage of him?

By then, who will control whom?

Moreover, the 200 yuan must be repaid.

Qin Huairu was stunned for a moment, thinking about what was wrong with He Yuzhu just now. It might be that He Yuzhu had quarreled with his mother-in-law again, so she came up with this idea to make things difficult for Jia Zhang.

Her tears stopped abruptly, a blush appeared on her face, and she shyly picked up the pen and wrote her name on the IOU.
