The life of a villain in a courtyard

"Old lady, it's time to eat."

Yi Zhonghai brought a box of bone soup. The doctor said that the old lady was old and should drink more bone soup to supplement calcium.

"Old lady, how could you be so careless and fall down?"

"I got up this morning and wanted to go out for some fresh air. Who knew there was such a big block of ice at the door of my house? I accidentally fell down."

The anesthetic effect hasn't worn off yet and the old lady still has a lisp when she speaks.

Yi Zhonghai felt something was wrong so he went back to the courtyard and found the old lady.

"Xiuyun, was there ice at the door of the old lady's house when you went there yesterday?"

No matter how Yi Zhonghai thought about it, he felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"No, it wasn't there when I brought her food last night."

Something is wrong, 12 out of 10 is wrong.

"I'll go see what's going on."

When I arrived at the backyard, I saw the window repairman replacing the glass for Su Yun.

"Su Yun, what happened to your glass?"

"The old lady's deafness flared up last night. I said one thing but she didn't understand what I said. I don't know what she misunderstood and she smashed the glass in my house in anger."

The case was solved, it was solved in an instant. She completely understood how the ice appeared out of thin air at the door of the deaf old lady's house. However, without evidence, she could not prove that he did it, so she just glared at Su Yun and left.

A few days later, Su Yun came to Zhengyangmen and found an empty alley. When he came out, he had a large backpack on his back.

"Master Niu, I'm here to give you something."

Mr. and Mrs. Niu were worried in the house. Their son's wedding was tomorrow but the cook suddenly had something to do and couldn't come. They were supposed to have a good thing but it happened so suddenly, catching them off guard.

"Xiao Su, you're here. Please come in."

"Master Niu, why are you still so sad when such a good thing is about to happen?"

"Something unexpected happened. The cook had something urgent to do at home and couldn't come, but we're going to have a banquet tomorrow. Where can I find a new cook at this time?"

Looking for a cook? Isn't Shazhu a ready-made cook?

"We have a chef in our courtyard. He is the heir of Tan's cuisine. How about I go and ask him?"

"Tan's cuisine? Is that the Tan's cuisine of Tan Zongjun?"

Tan's cuisine is one of the most famous official Chinese cuisines. It is the family cuisine of Tan Zongjun, a bureaucrat in the late Qing Dynasty. Because he was the runner-up in the imperial examination in the 13th year of the Tongzhi reign, it is also known as "Bangyan cuisine."

"Yes."

Niu Ye changed his clothes and went to the courtyard with Su Yun to find Sha Zhu and tell him about this.

"No problem. I don't have anything to do tomorrow. But I agreed in advance that it's five dollars per visit, and I have to bring back some food."

"no problem."

This is the unspoken rule of the chefs in the old city.

The heavy stone in Niu Ye's heart finally fell. In order to thank Su Yun, he insisted on letting him attend his son's wedding tomorrow, and he would have a couple of drinks with him then.

The next day, Su Yun rode his bike to Uncle Niu's house with Sha Zhu. Sha Zhu looked at the food prepared in the kitchen and couldn't help but sigh: "This family is really generous. They prepared so many good things! The meat is all three-layered, and there is also beef."

Su Yun was brought to the front by Niu Ye to receive guests, while Sha Zhu was making various preparations in the kitchen.

"Lao Niu, who is this boy? He can't be your illegitimate child out there!"

"Go to hell, this guy is my friend regardless of age difference, I brought him here to introduce him to others, don't bully him when you see him next time."

"The food is served!"

As soon as he finished speaking, dishes were served on the table. Everyone praised the food after eating it. The guests were happy and Niu Ye was also beaming. When the wedding banquet was over, in addition to the promised reward, Niu Ye also gave Sha Zhu a big red envelope.

"How embarrassing."

He said so, but he was not polite at all with his hands.

"I'm exhausted!"

After finishing the last dish, Sha Zhu sat down on the stool and kept pressing his arm. There were too many people coming today, and he was shaking the wok so hard that sparks were almost coming out. If he continued like this, he would definitely get tendonitis.

"Give!"

Before leaving, Sha Zhu stuffed a lunch box into Su Yun's hand, which contained a whole pork elbow as a thank you gift for introducing the business to him.

"Zhu Zi went out to cook for others again and got some extra money?"

As soon as everyone saw the lunch box in Shazhu's hand, they knew what was going on.

"Just helping a friend cook a meal."

He wanted to show off but then he remembered Su Yun's warning that being too conspicuous in the yard would attract attention, so he changed his mind.

"Don't hide it from us. The lunch box in your hand is so heavy, it must contain a lot of goodies!"

As he said that, he reached out for Shazhu's lunch box, wanting to snatch it back to see what good things were inside.

"What are you doing? Robbery!"

"Why is it so unpleasant to hear?"

The aunt didn't expect Shazhu to react so strongly, so she took her hand back.

"Brother, why did you come back just now? I'm hungry! Come back quickly and cook for me."

The appearance of He Yushui helped Sha Zhu out of the predicament.

"Look what good stuff I brought you!"

Sha Zhu opened his lunch box and showed it off to He Yushui as if he was presenting a treasure.

"Knuckles, pig's heads, and fish!"

"Keep your voice down so that people outside don't hear you."

Sha Zhu looked outside carefully and then closed the door. After staying with Su Yun for a long time, Sha Zhu also learned to hide himself.

"Brother, I find that you have changed. You are not the same as before."

"Changed? What changed? Am I still the same as before?"

Sha Zhu looked carefully in the mirror but didn't notice any changes.

"You have become more cautious. In the past, you wanted to let everyone in the hospital know that you brought back delicious food."

"I was too confident before, thinking that although our hospital had some small calculations, they would not affect me. But recently I found that it was not the case."

Sha Zhu looked at Yi Zhonghai's residence and said thoughtfully.
