Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

The two held hands, and Anjie said with emotion: “To be honest, if I were younger, I would definitely not agree, but after walking with you for so many years, I agree with your husband’s opinion.

“Yes, I agree now.

"Wen Li nodded in agreement," I really should have married a chef.

Jiang Defu's ears were sharp, and he immediately turned to look at An Jie: "Find a chef? How could you, the daughter of a capitalist, marry a chef?"

"..." An Jie glared at Jiang Defu fiercely, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"How is it nonsense?" Jiang Defu turned to He Yuzhu: "My wife was the daughter of a capitalist back then. She was very particular about etiquette, such as brushing teeth before washing face. These rules had to be set.

He Yuzhu laughed when he heard this: "It's just a matter of habit, don't worry too much..."

Everyone chatted and laughed, walked around, and then returned to the hotel and made a reservation to go to Jiang Defu's house tomorrow, where He Yuzhu would cook for them himself.

When he got home in the evening, Jiang Defu said to Jiang Yafei, "Yafei, your future father-in-law is a nice guy, and his family is also very nice.

“I told you, it was good.

"Jiang Yafei said proudly.

Jiang Defu then asked: "But are they really that rich? Buying houses and cars, don't they look too nouveau riche?"

Jiang Yafei shook her head: "That's not the case, my uncle said that we should spend what we should spend and save what we should save.

By the way, they also brought you a gift, and I think they will give it to you when they come to my house tomorrow.

“Oh, I didn’t expect that, but don’t worry, it won’t be too late to send it when we go to the capital later.

"Jiang Defu knocked his forehead and said, "By the way, wife, call my eldest brother and ask him to help check the house."

"Why are you so enthusiastic all of a sudden?" Anjie asked curiously, "You were just saying they were nouveau riche?"

"You don't understand this, you have to do what you promised.

Just like Yafei said, they know what’s going on and we have to be understanding.

"Jiang Defu explained," I didn't think it through before. Wenxuan is their eldest son and he will stay here for a long time due to work reasons.

"How can a parent not worry?" Anjie said with a smile.

Then, Anjie picked up the phone and asked them to help with the investigation, and at the same time reminded them to come early tomorrow because their future in-laws would cook for them themselves.

The next day, Jiang Yafei and Jiang Defu came to the hotel together. Jiang Yafei took Wen Li and He Jiawen home, while Jiang Defu went to buy ingredients with He Yuzhu.

The two of them spent about two hours shopping. Since there were all kinds of seafood here, He Yuzhu naturally didn't want to miss it.

They bought so much that they ended up having to call a rickshaw to carry all their belongings back.

"Oh, you bought so much?" Jiang Yafei came over curiously and asked, "How did you get them back?"

"Isn't there a rickshaw?" Jiang Defu replied, "Come and help me. Be careful. You need to correct your carelessness.

“My uncle’s cooking is great and I really want to try it.

"Jiang Yafei continued to look through the food, full of anticipation.

“As long as you like it, come often and I’ll make it for you.

"He Yuzhu carried some things into the kitchen, put on an apron, and started to prepare the ingredients. He Wenxuan also came in to assist Jiang Yafei.

Looking at He Wenxuan's actions, Jiang Yafei asked, "Can you cook?"

"Of course!" He Wenxuan nodded and said, "Although I can't inherit my father's unique skills, ordinary dishes are no problem for me, and even my younger brothers and sisters can handle it.

"Then I'll leave cooking to you from now on?" Jiang Yafei suggested.

"No problem!" He Wenxuan agreed readily: "My aunt relies on her excellent cooking skills to manage my uncle's family. She has the final say on all matters at home.

"Oh, really?" Jiang Yafei asked, "I didn't see your aunt this time.

“She is the technical director of the textile factory and is often on business trips, so I didn’t meet her this time.

I should be able to see him when I go back during the Chinese New Year.

"He Wenxuan answered while processing the ingredients. At this time, An Tai and An Xin's families also arrived.

Then, Jiang Dehua and her husband Lao Ding came as well; they lived closest.

Jiang Defu quickly called He Yuzhu out and introduced the new friends.

He Yuzhu said: "Everyone please take a seat first, I will prepare the dishes and we can talk after they are served.

After saying that, he hurried back to the kitchen and whispered to An Xin, "What's going on? Why did you find another chef as your relative?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" An Xin nudged him gently with her elbow, "You always get into trouble with your mouth.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything.

"He used to be a literary youth, but after he suffered a loss, he became more restrained. But now he is starting to be casual again. "Where's the wine we brought? Let's drink that later!"

"..." An Xin was speechless.

When the dish is ready, the aroma is so delicious that it makes you salivate.

Everyone in the living room smelled the fragrance, and Jiang Yafei's voice rang out: "It's time to eat!"

As the exquisite dishes were served, they immediately attracted everyone's attention because the presentation of each dish was extremely exquisite.

There were two tables in total, each with twelve dishes, a combination of hot and cold dishes, both meat and vegetables, and each dish was beautifully presented.

"Okay, the dishes are ready!" He Yuzhu took off his apron, "Brother, you are the host, can you let everyone take a seat?"

"Oh, okay... everyone please take a seat, gentlemen this way, ladies that way.

"Jiang Defu turned around, opened the cabinet in the living room, and took out two bottles of Moutai.

At this time, ** said: "**, let's not drink Moutai today, let's take a look at what I brought.

** Presented two bottles of red wine, “Things are different now than they were before.

"**

Jiang Defu was a little embarrassed, but He Yuzhu didn't care. He picked up a bottle of Moutai and said, "Come on, brother, I'll have a drink with you.

"This is Sichuan cuisine that I cook. Except for a few famous dishes, the rest are all my own creations. You can try it and see how it tastes.

“These dishes are more delicious when paired with white wine.

"Come, I'll fill it up for you.

"Jiang Defu smiled and opened the wine in his hand, and quickly filled it for He Yuzhu.

Jiang Yafei felt embarrassed and ignored her uncle, asking, "Dad, where is our wine?"

"Go get it yourself, you can't just sit there like this.

"Jiang Defu glared at her, giving her a way out.

But Jiang Yafei didn't intend to give up. She said, "My dear, you have never tasted Moutai, right?"

“I really didn’t drink much before.

"He Yuzhu spoke the truth. After all, he didn't like the taste of Moutai. The big bosses usually had Xifeng liquor specially prepared for him at home.

“Moutai is just like that.

"Jiang Yafei emphasized again: "It can widen the gap between people.

Jiang Defu looked at Jiang Yafei helplessly, thinking that she had this problem again. Has she forgotten her past life in labor reform?

He Yuzhu disagreed with her view and retorted: "That's not necessarily true. If there was no deliberate exaggeration, our country didn't have anything to show for it in the past.

Although the price of Moutai has increased, isn’t this just to fool foreigners? "

"It is unacceptable to use wine that costs only a few cents a bottle when entertaining foreign guests!"

"There are many varieties of liquor in our country, and except in years of disaster, everyone can drink it freely at other times.

"As a gift to a foreign guest, it's a good deal to choose two bottles of beautifully packaged Moutai."

Jiang Yafei was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Do you know these things?"

“Oh, this is well known in the capital.

"He Yuzhu said: "Foreigners originally had the tradition of giving wine as gifts, not antiques or calligraphy and paintings.

“If it weren’t for these, they wouldn’t understand, so Moutai is the most suitable choice.

"He Yuzhu continued to add.

Jiang Yafei was speechless for a moment, and then He Yuzhu remembered something: "Wen Li, did you bring the things?"

“Brought it.

"Wen Li stood up and took a long box from the side. He Yuzhu took it and said, "Brother, I didn't bring much this time, only a painting.

“Don’t be disgusted.

"How could that be?" Jiang Defu happily took it.

Jiang Yafei rushed to say: "What do you know, let me help you take a look.

"After that, she opened the box, took out the painting, and first looked at the signature: "Oh, a landscape painting by Dong Qichang..."

This is a painting by Ming Dynasty painter Dong Qichang. Jiang Yafei carefully examined the painting after reading it, while Jiang Defu just looked at the painting directly. Although he didn't understand it, he thought it was good.

“The mountain view looks great.

“This is Jiang Defu’s evaluation.

After taking a closer look, Jiang Yafei said, "It looks quite real.

He Yuzhu smiled and said, “I don’t understand these things, but there are a lot of these things in the commission store, so I bought them quickly.

The items there are generally authentic, and even if they are fake, they are imitations made by ancient people.

“It doesn’t matter whether it’s true or not, thank you, brother.

"Jiang Defu put the painting away, put it in a box, and put it back in the cabinet," I'll hang it up when I have time, let's continue drinking.

The two continued to drink. Although He Yuzhu was not used to the taste of Moutai, he was in a good mood today and drank a glass happily.

However, he still felt that the taste was not good, so Jiang Yafei asked: "Is this wine delicious?"

"..." He Yuzhu was speechless. Why was this guy so annoying?

"It's okay!" He Yuzhu said perfunctorily: "Brother, come and try the food I cooked..."

He Yuzhu wanted to change the subject, but ** kept asking, "Does this wine taste like aristocracy?"

"That's not the case, **, what do you mean today?" Jiang Defu was a little dissatisfied and widened his eyes.

An Tai at the side quickly interrupted. He had remained silent before, as if this person did not exist.

"Fuck, Ouyang didn't mean anything else.

“He tried to lighten the mood.

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Maybe this brother-in-law thinks our in-laws are not respectable enough?"

"That's absolutely not the case!" ** retorted: "He just wants to prove that the value of this wine is not reasonable.

"Didn't I just explain it?" He Yuzhu was a little confused.

"Is that the only reason?" ** asked, obviously not believing it.

He Yuzhu smiled, "I understand.

This person was too self-righteous. He had opinions about the country from the beginning, and he couldn't hide his thoughts, and he suffered for it later.

Now he is active again. After all, times have changed and he believes he is right.

"Is that all?" He Yuzhu asked again.

"Is this a small matter?" ** asked back.

In fact, what they are arguing about is not whether Moutai is expensive. ** believes that it is clear that everyone is equal, but special groups are forced to be divided.

Were all his previous efforts wrong? Was all his suffering in vain?

What a handsome man he was before! He stayed on the island fishing for more than ten years!

He was sent for reform in 1969 and was among the earliest batch.

He Yuzhu nodded gently and said, "I understand, but this doesn't make sense to you!"

“My ancestors were hired farmers for three generations, and my father learned Tan’s cuisine and worked in other people’s restaurants.

“The eldest daughter of the Dong family married Lou Bancheng. Of course, this is his nickname, given to him by others.

"Half of Beijing is made up of real big capitalists.

"Just because his steel factory needed a chef, my dad was transferred there. He went from being a chef in a restaurant to a chef who cooked large pots in a factory, but there was nothing he could do about it.

"The contract is in their hands!"

“The contract did not expire until after liberation.

“Me too, my father sent me to learn Sichuan cuisine, and after liberation the contract was voided, so I went to work in the steel mill.

Later, public-private partnership was implemented, with heavy industry being the first area to be reformed.

"Because of my skills, I was rated as a seventh-level cook. The lowest level is ten, and the highest is one!"

“When I was 21, I was promoted to level 6, which was considered top-level in the factory.

But I never gave up my craft and continued to study it after marriage.

"I dare not say it in Beijing, but inside and outside Dongzhimen, who doesn't know me, He Yuzhu?"

"I cook a banquet for only five dollars, which is several times my monthly salary!"

“So if you’re not satisfied, don’t tell me, I’m satisfied.

He Yuzhu picked up the wine glass himself, drank it all, and smacked his lips: “To be honest, many people gave me this Moutai, but I refused them all.

“Brother, don’t be picky, I’m not used to the taste, I’ve always drunk Xifeng.

"You should have said it earlier!" Jiang Defu smiled, thinking that he could still get along with this relative. He saved face for ** and An Xin and usually did not criticize ** directly.

This in-law won't compromise easily!

"Xifeng Liquor...yes!" Jiang Defu happily stood up to get the wine.

He Yuzhu then said to the stunned **: "Before liberation, you never shouted for fairness, right?"

"Why didn't you shout after liberation?"

“After all, my own interests have been damaged, so I can’t help but feel indignant.

But now most people are benefiting, so who are you?" "Even the evil spirits around our country are helpless, but ** still established diplomatic relations with us, right?" "So, you have to look forward!" "Ignore him, let's drink, I'll change to Xifeng wine!" Jiang Defu came back with the wine and filled He Yuzhu's glass, "Come on, cheers..."

The two clinked their glasses and drank another round, without touching the dishes! They quickly invited everyone to taste the food. An Tai took a bite and exclaimed: "Mm, it's delicious!"

"Ouyang, try this dish quickly. He Yuzhu is right. His cooking skills are amazing!" After this, ** paused.

**curled his lips and said no more. He realized that he was no match for Jiang Defu, and now he was no match for He Yuzhu either.

Anjie was laughing happily at another table. Although he got glared at by his sister a few times, he didn't care.
