Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

On the morning of the 14th, the sky had just dawned, and the morning light shone through the mist onto the ancient streets of the capital. As usual, Cai Quanwu skillfully pedaled the slightly worn-out three-wheeled cart, and the creaking sound of the wheels broke the silence of the streets.

Soon, he arrived at the gate of the courtyard house in Qudeng Hutong on time. Although this courtyard house has gone through the vicissitudes of time, it still exudes an ancient and solemn atmosphere. Cai Quanwu gently pushed open the gate, slowly pushed the tricycle into the yard, and stopped at the door of the east wing.

He stretched out his hand and pushed open the door. The scene inside the room immediately stunned him. He saw all kinds of items on the floor, so dazzling that there was almost no place to stand. Just as he was amazed, he suddenly noticed a note placed on top of a bamboo basket. Cai Quanwu hurriedly walked forward, carefully picked up the note and read it carefully.

The handwriting on the note was neat and clear: "Uncle, I need your help to deliver the things in the bamboo basket in this room to my master's house. Thank you for your hard work! I specially prepared some extra pork this time."

"Also, when you meet my master, please tell him to cook as he pleases. When the banquet is over, if there is any leftover food, please share it with the people who came to the banquet so that they can take it home and enjoy it."

After reading the letter, Cai Quanwu felt a warm current in his heart. He gently folded the note and put it in his pocket, then took a deep breath, bent down, and hugged the bamboo basket full of food tightly with both hands.

Although the bamboo basket was quite heavy, he was able to pick it up steadily thanks to his strong physique developed from years of hard work, and walked step by step towards the three-wheeled cart outside the door.

In this way, Cai Quanwu went back and forth between the room and the tricycle again and again, carrying the bamboo baskets tirelessly. Finally, after some effort, all the bamboo baskets were neatly stacked on the tricycle. At this time, the tricycle looked full, as if it was carrying a heavy heart.

However, Cai Quanwu did not stop there. He was worried that the dust or other debris on the road would dirty these precious ingredients, so he found a clean straw mat and carefully spread it on the bamboo basket to ensure that everything was properly protected.

After doing all this, Cai Quanwu clapped his hands, looked at the fruits of his labor with satisfaction, then got on the bike seat, stepped on the pedal again, and drove towards Master He Yuzhu's home with a car full of hope and delicious food.

Cai Quanwu sat steadily on the tricycle, pedaling hard with both feet, and the wheels started to turn. As he pushed forward, he thought to himself, "I never thought that Zhuzi would arrange such a lavish celebration this time, even more lavish than when he got married and when his child had his first month banquet!"

Cai Quanwu was amazed when he saw the bamboo baskets filled with food. Two of the baskets were filled with fresh pork, with white and red meat piled up like a mountain; the other basket was filled to the brim with golden and fragrant roast chickens.

Look at the bamboo basket next to it, where various fresh vegetables are neatly stacked, including emerald green vegetables, bright red peppers, tender yellow pumpkins, etc., colorful and mouth-watering; and in the fourth bamboo basket, five lively carps are flapping their feet happily, splashing water.

The last bamboo basket was even more eye-catching, as it contained not only a large bag of snow-white flour, but also a basket of plump eggs, which seemed to emit an alluring aroma. In addition, a jar of oil and a jar of wine were placed on the tricycle, and the rich aroma seemed to have drifted through the seal.

Since Qudeng Hutong was not far from Wu Baotian's home, it didn't take long for Cai Quanwu to successfully pedal his tricycle to Wu Baotian's door. He slowly stopped the tricycle, then carefully stabilized it, and then turned and walked towards the yard.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Cai Quanwu shouted loudly, "Is Brother Wu home?"

At this time, Wu Baotian, who was busy in the kitchen, heard Cai Quanwu's call, and quickly put down his work and walked out of the kitchen to greet him. When he saw Cai Quanwu, Wu Baotian said with a smile on his face: "Brother Cai, you came really early!"

"Today is a very important day - Yu Shui's graduation banquet! For a big event like this, we must come early and must not be late or delayed! Brother Wu, the things that Zhuzi asked me to help deliver are now all on the cart outside the door. We have to move quickly and move them into the house!"

Hearing this, Wu Baotian immediately turned around and shouted towards the house: "Be kind, righteous and polite. The three of you hurry out and help your uncle move the things into the yard!" As soon as he finished speaking, the three brothers of the Wu family hurriedly ran out of the house and followed Cai Quanwu to the door together.

At this moment, Cai Quanwu swiftly lifted the straw mat covering the tricycle. Instantly, the three brothers' eyes fell on the things in the bamboo basket, and they could not help but be stunned on the spot.

Seeing this scene, Cai Quanwu couldn't help but laugh. He urged with a smile: "What are you guys still doing standing there? Hurry up and move the things into the yard!"

After hearing this, the three brothers looked at each other, then bent down, picked up a bamboo basket, and walked carefully towards the yard. After a while, all the bamboo baskets were placed firmly in the yard.
