Siheyuan: I can change size at will

"Cao Gou, you have the guts to open the door."

"Open the door!"

Jia Dongxu knocked on the door for a long time, but Cao Zhengshuang didn't open it, which made him very angry.

Finally returned home.

When Jia Zhang heard this, she could no longer sit still.

"This Cao Zhengshuang actually dared to bully our Jia family. He is so arrogant."

"Don't worry, Dongxu. When you go to work tomorrow, I will move all the things from Cao Zhengshuang's house."

Bang Geng clapped his hands and said, "Grandma, sell Cao Gou's things and use the money to buy meat."

"That's right, buy some meat for my good grandson."

Jia Zhang touched Bang Geng's head and said with heartache: "My dear grandson has lost weight again!"

At Cao Zhengshuang's home, he looked at the canned beef and potatoes and decided to have beef stew with potatoes tonight.

These days he either eats hamburgers and cola, or eats out, and he also occasionally makes a home-cooked meal.

He put the potatoes in a basin and immediately took them to the sink in the yard to wash them.

At this time, Yan Bugui was fertilizing and watering his several pots of flowers in the yard.

Seeing Cao Zhengshuang washing potatoes, Yan Bugui asked in surprise: "Cao Zhengshuang, are you going to cook today?"

You should know that Cao Zhengshuang has never fired a fire since he returned to the courtyard.

"Yes, I'm going to make beef stew with potatoes tonight."

Cao Zhengshuang turned on the faucet and began to wash the potatoes.

"Beef stew with potatoes."

Without even smelling the scent, Yan Bugui was drooling at the mere mention of these few words.

The last time their family ate meat was during the Chinese New Year.

They exchanged all their meat coupons for grain coupons and used them to buy food.

Eating meat is unthinkable.

Yan Bugui licked his lips and said, "Cao Zhengshuang, I just happen to have a bottle of good wine at home."

"You said we haven't seen each other for more than a year. How about I come to you tonight and talk in detail all night?"

How is it? Of course not.

As Yan Bugui would take out some manure to taste whenever a manure truck passed by, how could Cao Zhengshuang not know that Yan Bugui was eyeing his beef.

"Uncle, I'm not used to having long conversations with men all night long."

"Then let's just have a quick chat."

"That's fine. Come talk to me after I finish my meal."

Yan Bugui got anxious when he heard this: "How can this be possible? Isn't it the same as eating and talking at the same time?"

"Haha, Third Uncle, I'm not used to eating with others."

Faced with Cao Zhengshuang's strict defense, Yan Bugui was completely unhappy.

"Cao Zhengshuang, why are you so disrespectful?"

"Don't you know that happiness is better shared than happiness alone?"

Yan Bugui is indeed a cultured person who can recite some classic quotes off the top of his head.

Cao Zhengshuang said nonchalantly: "Third Uncle, everyone knows your little tricks."

"Anyway, don't even think about eating a single bite of this beef stew with potatoes."

"Then why are you still eating my fried pickles?"

Yan Bugui has always been upset about this matter.

Cao Zhengshuang frowned and said, "Uncle, don't be so shameless."

"Where did all these things in my house go? I'm sure you know the answer."

"Everyone in your quadrangle owes me."

"I didn't ask you all for compensation, that's already a courtesy."

"Believe it or not, I will go to the police station to report the case and let your whole family eat free jail food!"

Yan Bugui suddenly felt guilty.

"You are not worthy of being a consultant!"

Yan Bugui uttered something in a literary way and went back to the house in embarrassment.

Cao Zhengshuang didn't care what Yan Bugui thought, as long as he felt comfortable.

Wash the potatoes, peel them and cut them into small pieces when you get home.

Put a few pieces of firewood into the stove and light it.

As for coal briquettes, he naturally had none at home.

Heat up the pan. As for oil, we don’t have any at home.

But it doesn't matter, there is broth in the canned braised beef.

Cao Zhengshuang directly opened two cans, poured them into the pot, and then threw all the potatoes in.

Simmer over low heat, and soon the aroma of beef stewed with potatoes emerged and drifted throughout the courtyard.

Yan Bugui's family was the first to be affected.

After a few days of rest, Yan Jiecheng is now in good health except for his brothers' lack of support.

He sniffed and said, "What a nice smell! Who is stewing meat here?"

"Beef, this should be beef!" Yan Jiefang said with drooling eyes.

"Just enjoy your corn porridge. This is beef stew with potatoes made by Cao Zhengshuang at home."

"What? It's beef stewed with potatoes. Did he buy canned beef from Pigeon Market?"

Yan Jiecheng was so greedy.

The supply of materials is tight these days. Apart from grain, the supply of meat is even less.

Even with a meat coupon, you can't buy fresh meat. Most of the meat circulating on the market now is canned meat.

Among them, the canned goose beef is the most famous.

Of course, there are also top-quality products, that is, canned food from the beautiful country.

As for why there are canned meats from the United States, I heard that they were aid supplies from the United States before the establishment of the Dragon Kingdom.

Yan Jiecheng urged, "Brother, why don't we go find Cao Zhengshuang and ask for some meat to satisfy our cravings?"

Yan Jiecheng stood up and said, "Come with me and ask Cao Zhengshuang for some meat."

"He is alone, what kind of meat should he eat?"

"okay."

Yan Jiefang immediately stood up and followed Yan Jiecheng out.

The 8-year-old Yan Jiekuang also wanted to go, but was stopped by Yan Bugui.

"Your two brothers are out begging for meat. You just need to wait at home."

Yan Bugui thought it was normal for his son to go out and beg for meat.

Besides, it is not easy for an elder like him to just snatch things away by force.

It would be just right for Yan Jiecheng and his team to go.

In the Intermediate Court, Jia Dongxu's family was also drinking cornmeal porridge.

Every family is living a tight life nowadays, and it is good enough to have corn porridge to drink.

Anyway, it’s better than eating tree roots.

"Grandma, is anyone cooking meat?"

Bangteng has the most sensitive nose and can smell the aroma of meat immediately.

Jia Zhang smelled it and immediately cursed, "Who is this evil person who secretly cooks meat at home?"

"Don't you know that our Jia family is having a hard time?"

"If they don't send meat to our Jia family, do they want us to get it ourselves?"

Seeing Qin Huairu still drinking cornmeal porridge, Jia Zhang became even angrier.

"Qin Huairu, what else can you do besides eating?"

"Go get a bowl quickly, see whose family is cooking meat, and bring back a bowl."

Even though Qin Huairu was unwilling, he knew that it was useless to reason with Jia Zhang, so he immediately went to the kitchen and got a bowl.

"Come back, who told you to take this bowl? Go back and get a bigger one. This is not enough for my grandson to eat."

When Jia Zhang saw that the bowl Qin Huairu was holding was too small, she stopped her.

"Okay?"

Qin Huairu entered the kitchen and finally found a big soup bowl. Only then was Jia Zhang satisfied.

"Okay, go quickly and come back soon, don't let my dear grandson starve."

Qin Huairu took the bowl to the yard to see whose meat was cooked.

She smelled the smell and found that it came from the front yard, so she went to the front yard and saw the Yan Jiecheng brothers knocking on Cao Zhengshuang's door.

It was obvious that Cao Zhengshuang was cooking meat in the house.
