Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

As the sun fills the courtyard and the breeze blows through the treetops, the kitchen is filled with curling smoke and bursts of fragrance. Three figures are busy shuttling between the stoves, and the sounds of cutting vegetables and frying vegetables interweave into a lively cooking symphony.

At this time, Wu Xiangxiu led Cao Erming and their lovely children into the Wu family's front door with laughter. When Wu Xiangxiu's eyes fell on the three figures working hard in the kitchen, a bright smile broke out on her face.

"Originally, I was thinking about bringing Erming over to help, but I didn't expect you three brothers to act so quickly. Looks like all we need to do today is sit back and enjoy the food!" Wu Xiangxiu joked with a smile.

Hearing the voice, Wu Youren, who was working hard, raised his head, glanced at Wu Xiangxiu, and immediately said, "Xiangxiu, go help our mother clean up the dining table! There are five tables of guests at noon today!"

"Okay! Then I'll go over and help mom and sister-in-law." Wu Xiangxiu responded readily, then turned around and walked quickly out of the kitchen and headed towards the yard.

Time passed quietly, and when the clock pointed to ten o'clock, Lou Xiao'e also arrived at Wu's house with Yu Shui and a group of children. At this moment, all the preliminary preparations were ready, and everyone was either sitting together chatting about family matters or enjoying this moment of leisure.

He Yuzhu, who was sitting in the yard resting, saw from afar several lively little figures rushing into the courtyard gate, and a warm smile immediately rose on his lips. Then, he slowly stood up and walked briskly towards Lou Xiaoe.

"You're finally here! Were the children naughty along the way?" He Yuzhu asked the group of little ones in front of him with a loving face.

Lou Xiao'e shook her head gently and replied with a smile: "It's okay, these little kids are all very well behaved and didn't make much noise. But... aren't we a little late?" As she spoke, she looked around with a slightly apologetic look.

"It's okay. You came just in time. My cousin's family hasn't arrived yet. You and the children can go into the house in the rain and chat with Master's wife. I still have to cook! We'll start the feast when my cousin's family arrives."

......

Cai Quanwu's family and Guan Xuezon stepped into the spacious and warm courtyard of Wu Baotian's house together. Their arrival also indicated that all the guests invited today had gathered.

At this time, the kitchen was already busy. The three chefs were showing off their cooking skills in an orderly manner, and the clinking of pots and pans made a crisp and pleasant sound, like a beautiful kitchen symphony.

On the other side, Wu Xiangyun and the two sisters-in-law of the Wu family skillfully brought out delicious dishes from the kitchen and placed them on the dining table.

Wu Youren held a large spoon and skillfully poured the carefully prepared sweet and sour sauce evenly on the five tender and plump fish. Instantly, the tempting aroma filled the air, making people salivate. Then, he carefully sprinkled a layer of emerald green onions on the fish as a garnish, making the whole dish look like a fine work of art.

After completing these steps, Wu Youren breathed a long sigh of relief, then picked up the slightly yellowed towel hanging around his neck and gently wiped away the fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

He looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction and said to himself, "Well, it's finally done! As long as we serve this dish on the table, our banquet today will be complete!"

Just at this moment, Wu Youli, who had been standing by and watching quietly, suddenly laughed and said, "Haha, brother, I finally understand! When it comes to cooking skills, you are much inferior to my brother Zhuzi! No wonder our father always remembers to mention you when he teaches me a lesson. It turns out that the problem lies here!" After that, he winked at Wu Youren mischievously, with a playful look on his face.

Wu Youren didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he pointed at Wu Youli with a smile on his face and scolded him, "Don't be so happy! My cooking skills are indeed not as good as Zhuzi's. Zhuzi has passed the first-level chef qualification certificate for many years!"

"However, compared to you, a mere level 6 chef, my level as a level 2 chef is more than enough!" Then, he raised his chin slightly and continued proudly, "If you want to catch up with my cooking skills, you have to practice hard for at least ten years!"

"Alright, stop talking nonsense here and bring the dishes over quickly. We're about to start eating!" After saying that, Wu Youren steadily picked up a tempting sweet and sour carp and strode towards the main room.

At this time, Wu Xiangxiu, Zhang Xiaoqiao and Chu Erni, who were standing in the yard and chatting about family matters, saw Wu Youren coming out of the kitchen with the delicious fish. They hurried into the kitchen, each of them carefully picked up a fish, and then turned and walked towards the east and west wing rooms where the women and children were sitting.

The men who were sitting in the main room, ready to drink, drank tea and chatted, waiting for the last dish to be served. Finally, Wu Youren strode to the table and placed the carefully cooked sweet and sour carp steadily in the center of the table.

With a bright smile on his face, he said to everyone, "Haha, dear friends and relatives, all the delicious dishes for today are already here! As long as Youren comes over, we can officially start the feast!"

Wu Youren carefully carried a plate of delicious sweet and sour carp and slowly walked into the east wing. He gently placed the carefully prepared dish on the antique wooden table with a bright smile on his face.

He cleared his throat and said, "Mom, sister, eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, today I have used all my skills to help my eldest brother prepare such a table of delicious dishes. However, if you eat a dish and feel that the taste is slightly inferior to the others, don't say anything, because it must be made by me!"

"Otherwise my father will scold me when he finds out. So, please forgive me. I'd like to thank you in advance!" After saying that, Wu Youren clasped his hands in an exaggerated manner towards the family members in front of him, making a pitiful look of pleading.

At this time, Liu E, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help laughing. She responded gently, "Okay, okay, stop playing tricks, and go to the main hall quickly! Today, we are all having a family reunion dinner together, and no one will complain to your father, don't worry! But you should take good care of your father and don't let him drink too much."

Hearing this, Wu Youren felt as if he had been pardoned. He immediately put on a playful smile and nodded repeatedly in response: "Okay, in that case, I have to go and have a couple of drinks with Dad!" Before he finished speaking, he turned around impatiently and walked quickly towards the main room, leaving behind a burst of cheerful laughter.
