Siheyuan: Fatty’s Counterattack

It's not like Fatty has never advised Xing Jianshu that the railway administration is good, but the future is just like that. He is not a college student majoring in railways, so his future development is very limited.

If you want to become a spiritual guide in the Railway Bureau, you must first have experience working in a dispatching position.

But it is a pity that Xing Jianshu did not.

Therefore, instead of hanging around like this, it is better to go overseas and do business.

But Xing Jianshu had a different idea: "Why can't I look good? When you first arrived at the grain and oil company, didn't your sister just have a primary school diploma and start working as a temporary worker?"

The fat man sighed when he heard this. He was incompetent, arrogant, sensitive, and had low self-esteem; Xing Jianshu was hopeless...

It's too late to say this now. If he had known that he was this kind of person, Fatty would never have agreed to Chen Fang marrying him.

※※※※※※※

For birthdays, of course there must be a birthday cake.

The first time Fatty made a birthday cake was in the winter of 1977.

Since then, he has had to make several birthday cakes every year.

At first, it was only for Yu Li, Chen Yan, and Chen Mengqi. Later, when Chen Fang heard about it, she grabbed the fat man's neck and asked, why didn't she do it? So I had to add one more.

After Chen Fang ate it, she showed off everywhere. Zhou Haiqin called Fatty home and asked him three "friendly" questions. Now he had to do the same for Chen Gangqiang and Zhou Haiqin.

Later, Chen Rong also heard about it and wanted to do 3 more; until one day, Gong Qian also came to him regularly, and the fat man collapsed...

In a hurry, he simply taught the fat aunt how to make birthday cakes.

Yu Li even lost her temper with him: "This is our family's craft! Why did you teach it to outsiders without consulting me? I originally planned to open a cake shop!"

This wife is sometimes smart, sometimes silly, and very cute.

Now Yu Li never mentions opening a cake shop anymore. She is almost exhausted from so many things every day.

However, occasionally in the dead of night, she still couldn't help but say to Fatty: "I used to always think about opening a small shop by myself. It doesn't have to be big, just a small shop on the corner. I don't sell a lot of things. I specialize in one kind of business. When no one comes, I open the business. When no one comes, I just stay in a daze, read books, and listen to my favorite music..."

"..."

Today, the fat cake man didn’t try to do anything to others, he decided to do it himself.

In 77, there was no animal cream, no butter, and not much fruit.

Now, it's all there.

The cream cakes were all the same, and I was tired of them after eating them for so many years. Fatty prepared the whole job, so he had to make something different.

If you are tired of the creamy one, try a chocolate one and hide the chocolate in the cream.

When you take a bite, the hot chocolate flows out like lava, so this recipe is also called lava chocolate cake.

Everyone has heard the story about eating sugar cookies and burning the back of your head, right?

What I’m talking about is Silly Zhu. When he was a child, someone gave him sugar cookies to eat. He was so stunned that he just tore them up with his hands!

The candy started to flow down his arm. Silly Zhu saw that it was better not to waste it, so he quickly licked it with his mouth. As soon as he raised his hand, the whole cake hit the back of his head!

It was so painful that I had to go to the clinic...

The whole kitchen was going crazy with laughter. Silly Zhu was even more anxious to beat Xu Damao!

Yes, this story about eating sugar cookies was told by Xu Damao.

The fat man hugged Silly Zhu's waist tightly, holding him in place and letting Xu Damao finish.

When Xiao Dang waited for enough laughter, he said to Xu Damao: "Uncle Damao, why don't you run away? My fat uncle is going to let go!"

Hearing this, Xu Damao hurriedly applied oil on his soles; Silly Zhu put on his hat depressedly: "Fat man, you are so biased, you always turn towards Xu Damao, what are you two, true love!"

"..."

Everyone gathered in a circle to watch Fatty make this molten lava cake. Especially the fat aunt looked at it very seriously.

Who among those born in the 70s and 80s can forget "Cheeselin Chocolate"?

The outer packaging is black and red. When opened, there is a whole plate of chocolate inside, with the three small words "Cheeselin" printed in the middle of each small piece.

Do you know how much this thing costs?

1 yuan!

What is the concept of 1 yuan at this time? Fatty's eldest sister Chen Rong works in the boiler room of the Red Star Factory. Because the factory is suffering from serious losses and reorganization is imminent, she can only get 42% of the salary every month. That’s [-] yuan.

Fatty's eldest brother-in-law Cao Zhengyang's salary is higher. How much is it? 60 yuan!

It's 1984, and the couple's combined salary is only 100 yuan...

Now do you know how valuable this 1 yuan a plate of chocolate is?

The wealthy fat man took two plates at once and put them in a spoon to melt, ignoring Xiao Dang and Chen Mengqi's eager eyes.

A strong fragrance wafted all over the kitchen. Zhao Laoer couldn't help but sniff and said: "It smells so good!"

After the chocolate melts, take half of it and mix it into the cream to make a filling; then mix the other half with butter, sugar, flour and eggs to make a cake embryo.

Everything is ready, just put it in the big refrigerator.

When the time is up, take it out, put the two things together, then put it in the oven and bake it for 20 minutes!

At noon, as the protagonist of today's birthday party, Chen Yan was pushed to the main seat and sat down like a star.

The fat man pushed the birthday cake in front of her on a trolley.

Chen Mengqi and a group of children took the lead in singing Happy Birthday, and the rest of them hummed along, regardless of whether they could sing or not.

Chen Yan was very emotional today and said with tears in her eyes: "Why celebrate another birthday to remind me that I am one year older..."

Before she could continue, Zhou Haiqin hit her on the head: "What do you want to do?"

Chen Yan was shaking so hard that she was knocked down, and everyone else was silent. There was no way her mother's aura was still so strong.

Fortunately, the fat man changed the subject: "Okay, okay, let's start the dinner! Mom and Dad, please use your chopsticks first."

Chen Gangqiang happily gave Zhou Haiqin a piece of fish meat with chopsticks: "Old woman, now that our children are grown up and have their own future, you are the biggest contributor to our family. Eat fish, eat fish..."

Zhou Haiqin then tasted the fish meat in the bowl carefully like a victorious tiger. After a moment, he asked the fat man: "What kind of fish is this? Why haven't you eaten it before?"

The fat man stood up and said, "Let me introduce to you. This dish is called "double-skinned saury"; this fish is produced in the south of the Yangtze River. Every spring is the time to eat saury. This dish is combined with squirrel mandarin fish and steamed anchovy. It is called the three flavors of Jiangnan."

Knife fish? Have not heard. After hearing this, Zhou Haiqin tasted it again and said, "Why is this fish minced?"
