Siheyuan: He Yuzhu starts with god-level cooking skills
Chapter 11 Wedding Items
Otherwise, would he still have prestige in Jia Dongxu's eyes in the future? Would Jia Dongxu be willing to support him in his old age? Faced with this thorny question, Yi Zhonghai's expression became solemn, ready to use the moral hammer that he thought had always worked.
"He Yuzhu, this idea is so backward."
"Now that you are an advanced individual, you should set an example and help the neighbors in the courtyard!"
"If you two change houses, it won't change your life that much. Why not?"
"Besides, as an elder in the courtyard, I can testify that the house is owned by me, and the steel mill will not take it back in the future."
He said: “I am doing this for your own good.
When you become an advanced individual, you will naturally encounter some injustice. "
"You are making sacrifices now, and others will see it and will naturally be convinced."
Yi Zhonghai's moral persuasion might work on other people, but in He Yuzhu's eyes it is an ineffective tool.
He Yuzhu has seen too many things in the world, and the hypocrisy of morality is obvious to him.
"In that case, uncle, are you questioning the decision of the Military Control Council?"
“Anyone in the hospital who has any objection to my personal honor can just go and catch the spy.
Then I will be speechless.”
Not only that, he added, "If you feel that martial law would be unfair, I can send someone over right now."
"They should have someone on duty today. You can talk to them later."
As he finished speaking, an angry voice rang out behind the two men. "Zhu Zi is right. I will go find them."
"I want to know if advanced people have become the target of arbitrary abuse? How can you have the dignity to exchange your two rooms for someone else's three rooms?"
"Even if Jia Dongxu wants to get married, doesn't that mean He Zhuzi doesn't have to get married in the future?"
He Yuzhu and Yi Zhonghai looked back and found that it was Master Zhao who was coming to their house to celebrate the New Year.
Seeing this scene, He Yuzhu immediately greeted with a smile.
"Master, you are here?"
Master Zhao nodded and responded: "Don't worry, I'll go find those people right away."
"Although I am not a member of this place, you are my apprentice, and I will never let you suffer this kind of injustice!"
Master Zhao said as he walked out the door.
Hearing the noise, many residents in the courtyard came over to watch.
The third day of the Lunar New Year was the time when the courtyard was most crowded. By now everyone knew the whole story and looked at Yi Zhonghai with more contempt.
As an elder in the hospital, he bullied children like this. His manners were not as good as those of ordinary people! However, due to concerns about Yi Zhonghai's identity, the neighbors nearby did not point out his shortcomings.
But Yi Zhonghai's eyes were as hot as chili peppers, making Yi Zhonghai's face turn red.
Especially when he saw that his master was really going to ask the Military Control Commission to intervene, his anxiety increased instantly.
He knew that his excuse was untenable. He had originally thought that He Yuzhu was young, so he planned to defraud the house directly.
Who would have expected the ending to be like this?
If the Military Control Commission was really alerted, not only would He Yuzhu's complicated relationship with them be taken into consideration, but the honor of being an advanced individual would also put pressure on him. "Hey, am I not discussing this with you guys?"
"Since everyone is unwilling to cooperate, forget it."
"Hey, I have to go home and cook the New Year's Eve dinner too."
After saying this, Yi Zhonghai ran away in embarrassment, completely losing face, regardless of the looks from others.
He Yuzhu witnessed all this and his smile became even brighter.
At this moment, Yi Zhonghai's pride must have been severely hurt, right? However, He Yuzhu concluded that Yi Zhonghai would not take long to get used to this embarrassment.
As long as Yi Zhonghai still wants to frame him, there will be more opportunities for him to make a fool of himself in the future.
"Forget it, Master. You made a fool of me today." "Let's go back quickly. We still have to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner."
After hearing what He Yuzhu said, the master smiled with satisfaction and said, "Okay, let's go home together."
"I know you have everything you need, but I didn't bring any gifts." "I asked someone to make a school bag for you, do you think it's suitable?"
He Yushui is still a child after all, and his eyes lit up when he saw the new schoolbag.
However, she did not take the schoolbag immediately without He Yuzhu's consent.
Seeing Yu Shui's expectant eyes, He Yuzhu felt quite amused.
He was very grateful for his master's kindness, but he also knew that a refusal would make his master lose face.
Plus the schoolbag wasn't expensive, He Yuzhu accepted the gift with a smile.
After He Yuzhu agreed, Yu Shui happily took the schoolbag and was very excited. "Thank you, uncle."
Seeing Yu Shui's cheerful look, He Yuzhu and his master smiled at each other and started to get busy.
Even if there are not many people, the New Year's Eve dinner is indispensable, and their celebration in the yard must be the most lively.
As night fell, people inside and outside the courtyard could smell the fragrance of the He family, but they felt uncomfortable.
Both adults and children have been looking forward to the Spring Festival for a long time, and the New Year's goods prepared are not easy to taste at other times.
But now, why does the taste feel so bad?
Ever since Yi Zhonghai's embarrassing ending, Jia Dongxu's face has become increasingly uglier.
Now, the aroma of He Yuzhu's food in the air made him even more angry. "This He Yuzhu is really dishonest. Can he finish all the New Year's food?"
"He would rather have outsiders gather at his house than share it with his neighbors, just enjoying it all by himself!" "Why don't you give me a new house? I'm so pissed!"
Hearing Jia Dongxu's complaints, Yi Zhonghai smiled bitterly.
He also realized that Jia Dongxu hated He Yuzhu so much that he didn't dare to cause trouble again.
Ever since He Daqing left, this silly Zhu seemed to have suddenly come to his senses and became extremely shrewd. Now that he has a new master, he might be difficult to deal with in the future.
In desperation, Yi Zhonghai had to try to comfort Jia Dongxu.
"Dongxu, you don't have to worry about the house. Even if you can't change it this time, there will be many opportunities in the future."
"Besides, the He family's house is still inside the compound, so it can't run away."
"Besides, you don't have a partner yet. You can talk about it later if you find one."
Yi Zhonghai said this, and Jia Dongxu became anxious: "Who said I don't have a partner? I will get married when my mother is released from prison next year."
Upon hearing this, not only Yi Zhonghai was surprised, but even the aunt and the deaf old woman were in disbelief.
It might be understandable that Yi Zhonghai didn't know much about the Jia family's situation due to his work, but the aunt was in the yard every day, doing housework with the women there, and she had very sharp eyes.
Even if your hearing is poor, there will be no problem with your vision.
As for the deaf old woman, although her hearing is poor, how could she hide the things happening in the courtyard from a pair of sharp eyes?
They still don't know the truth, and the Jia family has done a good job in keeping it secret.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Jia Dongxu's face turned slightly red.
But he had already let it slip by accident, and there was no point in hiding it.
So after a little thought, he said: "During my rest period, my mother helped me to find a date.
Although she comes from the countryside, the girl is quite pretty. "
"We originally planned to hold the wedding before the New Year, but unfortunately my mother was wrongly arrested because of He Yuzhu, so the wedding had to be postponed."
After saying this, Jia Dongxu's words finally answered the doubts of everyone in the room.
Although Yi Zhonghai felt a little disappointed that his elders had concealed such a major event, as if he had lost control, the fact was a done deal and he could only accept it temporarily, forcing out a wry smile to show his approval. "That's a happy event! Let's raise our glasses and celebrate for Dongxu together!"
Everyone drank up the wine in their glasses, but only Jia Dongxu was truly happy, while the others had other plans in their minds.
Yi Zhonghai seemed especially nervous.
In his heart, since he regarded Jia Dongxu as his future dependent, he naturally hoped that his future wife could pass his screening.
He must be prepared for what to do if he finds a daughter-in-law who only knows how to ask for things and doesn't consider providing for his old age.
For now, all I can do is be as friendly to the new daughter-in-law as possible to improve the relationship.
For them, this year was a bit complicated and unsatisfactory; but for the three members of the He family, it was a joyous New Year's Eve dinner, and after eating and drinking their fill, the brother and sister went to bed early.
There was no modern nightlife in that era, not to mention that staying up late on a cold night was irrational.
The next morning, He Yuzhu woke up and heard the system prompt:
"Ding Dong, wish the master a happy new year!"
"Ding Dong, congratulations to the owner for receiving the New Year's gift!"
"Ding Dong, congratulations to the master for obtaining the high-level makeover technique, food identification ability, two boxes of Moutai liquor and fifty kilograms of flour, etc."
Hearing these hints, He Yuzhu was filled with surprise.
I didn't expect that during the New Year, the system would give out extra luxury gift packages, and they were of many kinds, rich and tempting.
Although those supplies were not important and he had never used up all the ones the system had given him in the past, these new skills did make him very interested.
His cooking skills and excellent martial arts saved his life, but what about the advanced disguise and the ability to identify food? After some research, He Yuzhu gradually understood: the advanced disguise method allowed him to use everyday objects to transform into another person's appearance.
Although he hadn't tried it yet, he had a feeling that even in disguise, even He Yushui wouldn't be able to recognize him.
His ability to identify food is even more amazing. He can analyze the ingredients and seasonings of any delicacy after tasting it. In other words, there is no dish in the world that can be kept secret from him! If he wants to know how to cook it, he can know the details after tasting it.
Although it has great capabilities, he has no intention of paying too much attention to it due to his excellent cooking skills and the fact that there is no demand for it at the moment.
After the New Year's excitement, everyone returns to their respective positions to go back to work.
Because the festival had just passed, the number of customers at Tianxianglou was not large, which made He Yuzhu and his master Zhao feel a little relieved.
If it were as busy as before the Spring Festival, they might not be able to cope with the pressure.
This buffer period gives the boss the opportunity to hire more influential chefs, and their pressure will also be relieved.
A month passed quickly, and Jia Zhang finally finished her labor reform at the Military Control Commission. She left there with great anger in her heart, and she never wanted to set foot here again in her life!
Although her imprisonment was not long, the suffering she endured was beyond imagination.
Carrying stones weighing dozens of kilograms was undoubtedly a heavy burden for the old woman, and she was often scolded and beaten before she finished moving the stones.
Is this how a human being should live?
At first she wanted to show off her power and act tough, imagining that the guards and people in the courtyard would generally tolerate her.
However, what surprised her was that these people were similar to He Yuzhu and completely ignored her existence.
After being beaten several times, she finally calmed down. This shows that there is actually a way to deal with a wicked person like Jia Zhang, but tolerating her makes her become more and more outrageous.
"You, the Military Control Commission, dare to arrest an old woman like me. Sooner or later, you will suffer the consequences!" Although her heart was burning with anger, she only dared to mutter to herself and there was no way she could say it out loud.
Otherwise, if the Military Control Commission hears about it and captures her again, will she still have a chance to survive?
When Jia Zhang, full of resentment, returned to the courtyard, the school holiday had not yet ended. Yan Bugui, who was waiting at the door, was suddenly surprised: "Old woman, why are you here? What do you want to see us for?"
Jia Zhang was already furious, and now she was even more furious after hearing what Yan Bugui said. She kept shouting, "Why don't you recognize me, Yan Bugui? If it wasn't because I went to Tianxianglou for dinner, would I have suffered so much? Remember this, I won't let you have an easy time!"
Jia Zhang cursed loudly, and many residents in the yard were attracted by the noise. When they saw that it was really her, they were all surprised.
Jia Zhang used to be plump, but now she has become so thin that she has changed her appearance? Although he was scolded, Yan Bugui felt an inexplicable joy in his heart.
From Jia Zhang's current expression, it can be seen that she must have suffered a lot during her arrest.
Thinking of this, Yan Bugui couldn't help but feel happy! Let you falsely accuse me? Let you taste the taste of it!
Hearing the noise in the house, Jia Dongxu rushed out. After seeing Jia Zhang, he threw himself into her arms, bursting into tears.
"Mom, you finally came out, let's go home quickly."
Looking at her son's excited face, Jia Zhang's mood gradually calmed down, knowing that her child was the only one who cared about her at the critical moment.
"Well, let's go home."
Jia Zhang said.
"Xu'er, hurry up and stew some meat for mom. I'm almost going crazy with greed."
she says.
Jia Dongxu nodded in response and found the leftover stir-fried dishes from the previous day. Seeing Jia Zhang's impatient look, he said directly: "Mom, now that you have been released from prison, it's time to consider letting Huairu marry you, right?"
Jia Zhang was stunned by this sudden question.
She never expected that this would be the first sentence Jia Dongxu said when he returned home.
It seems that she is indeed a bit redundant as a mother, and even her child's marriage has been forgotten.
She originally planned to ignore Jia Dongxu, but then she thought about it and smiled. "Your marriage should have been finalized at the beginning of the year, but it has been delayed for too long."
"Okay, I'll talk to a matchmaker tomorrow morning and set a date for the wedding this week."
"Mom, are you serious about what you're going to say?"
There was a gleam in Jia Dongxu's eyes. People of this era had almost no experience of free love. After the two met, if both families agreed, they would talk about marriage directly.
Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu had only met briefly once, but this time was enough to make him deeply attached to Qin Huairu.
In the past month, he had dreamed of her every night, and even on winter mornings he had to wear an extra pair of shorts to feel at ease.
Life after marriage will be completely different.
Whatever you want to do then?
Seeing her son's useless side, Jia Zhang couldn't help but sigh.
If they were not blood relatives, she might have said those impolite words by now.
But she finally nodded helplessly. "Don't worry about this matter. Nothing will happen."
"I'll talk to the matchmaker tomorrow and everything will be fine."
Jia Dongxu's face was full of joy and he scooped a bowl of water for Jia Zhang.
"Mom, I feel relieved when you say that."
He consoled her again: "Mom, you need to replenish your nutrition and drink some water. Your days in the police station must be difficult."
Although the words were comforting, Jia Zhang still felt uncomfortable after hearing them.
Although she was somewhat dissatisfied with her son's affairs, she was still concerned about his marriage.
Before dawn the next day, the matchmaker went to Qin Huairu's village with ten pieces of betrothal gifts, and everything went smoothly as Jia Zhang had predicted.
Although Jia Zhang was in trouble, this matter had nothing to do with Jia Dongxu.
Qin Huairu originally only wanted to live in the city and marry a worker, so why would she care about Jia Zhang's situation? Therefore, the Qin family happily accepted the betrothal gift and arranged to hold the wedding this Friday.
The Jia family also wants to take this opportunity to prepare wedding items.
When Jia Zhang learned the good news, she was delighted.
When Jia Dongxu came back from work, he happily grabbed his arm. "Dongxu, your marriage is settled. Let's get married on Friday."
Then she instructed, "You must tell everyone in the yard, and then every household will come to celebrate."
She specifically reminded: "Especially remember to invite He Yuzhu."
Jia Dongxu was very excited to hear that he didn't have to stay alone in the room like usual, but he felt confused and unhappy when he thought about notifying He Yuzhu. "Mom, do you know the relationship between me and Shazhu?
If it weren't for his meddling, you wouldn't have been arrested and sent to labor reform."
"Now that our relationship is accomplished, do we want him to share in our joy?"
He frowned in dissatisfaction, "Even if he comes, he may not be willing to show up."
Jia Zhang smiled at her son's angry expression and shook her head. "We live in the same courtyard, and we see each other every day. His unhappiness with us can't last forever.
Didn’t you see the sumptuous food in He Yuzhu’s home during the Chinese New Year? He often went to Tianxianglou to buy food, and the money he earned during this time had never been spent. "
"He is one of the richest people in the hospital now. How can I be stingy with the gift?"
She continued to speculate, "I guess he will prepare at least ten or eight yuan as a gift. Anything less will be too much to give."
