Siheyuan: I just want to live

Chen Feng, who was sleeping in the space, had no idea what was happening in the courtyard.

Even if Chen Feng knew, he would not care about these things. Chen Feng was very busy during this period and had no time to pay attention to these intrigues in the courtyard.

Chen Feng had a good sleep in the space. After getting up, he simply washed up.

Then I went to the peanut field, picked some peanuts, peeled them, cooked a bowl of porridge with the peanuts, and had a simple breakfast with steamed buns and pickles.

Then he started cutting stones and picking leaves. In the meantime, Chen Feng roasted the rabbit he brought back today and then started working again.

When he was too tired to bear it any longer, Chen Feng turned off the machine, took a shower, lay down on the bedding, and fell asleep in the space.

After waking up again, Chen Feng left the space. He looked out the window and found that it was already bright outside.

I turned around and picked up the watch on the bedside table. It was almost seven o'clock.

After Chen Feng took the basin to the middle courtyard to wash up, he pushed his bicycle to the scrap yard.

After arriving at the scrap yard and lighting the furnace, Chen Feng lay on the table again.

Although he slept for a long time in the space yesterday, the physical fatigue was still irresistible and he fell asleep soon.

Chen Feng slept until about ten o'clock in the morning, when he was awakened by the noisy crowd outside.

Chen Feng stood up from the chair, stretched, rubbed his eyes, and walked out of the message room.

Chen Feng stood at the door of the message room and looked inside the station. There were many people gathered in the tea room of the scrap station, including employees of the station and their families.

They had set up two stoves outside the tea room, and they were kneading dough and steaming buns around a chopping board.

Chen Feng walked closer and saw that he didn't know who it was, but he found a scale and started weighing the dough pieces one by one.

Chen Feng was speechless. Did he have to weigh a dough? Would there be any difference if it was a little more or a little less?

Chen Feng shook his head, walked around the crowd, and entered the tea room. There was no stove inside, but there was a large stove that he had found from somewhere.

Chen Feng saw Zhou Ping wearing an apron and chopping rabbit meat with a knife.

This made Chen Feng a little strange? Wang Dajiang could kill pigs, and since Zhou Ping was processing rabbits here, his cooking skills must be better than those housewives outside.

Are people nowadays as talented as they were in later generations? Does working at a scrapyard require a multitude of talents?

Chen Feng couldn't help it and asked, "Brother Ping, why are you the one cooking the rabbit meat? Why don't you let Aunt Li and the others do it?"

Zhou Ping, who was still chopping rabbit meat, stopped what he was doing and turned around when he heard the sound.

Seeing that it was Chen Feng who asked the question, he replied, "Chen Feng, don't underestimate me! When I was ten years old, I followed my father to prepare banquets in and outside the city! My cooking skills are much better than Aunt Li's!"

After hearing what he said, Chen Feng was even more puzzled! So he asked again, "Why don't you continue to cook with your father? Why did you come to the scrap yard?"

In response to Chen Feng's question, Zhou Ping calmly explained, "Do you think that people would invite us to a banquet every day? We could only make ends meet all year round."

"Plus, once my brother and I got married, the money we earned from the banquet was not enough for our family, so my father paid for me to work at a scrap yard."

"Now my father and my brother and sister-in-law make enough money to support themselves, and my salary at the scrap yard is enough for our family. How great is that?"

After listening to his explanation, Chen Feng finally understood.

So Chen Feng turned around and asked, "Brother Ping, can you make spicy rabbit head?"

When Zhou Ping saw Chen Feng asking this, he knew that he wanted to eat. So he smiled and said, "I can cook! Why do you want to eat it?"

Chen Feng also laughed and said, "I am a little hungry. Brother Ping, can you make it for lunch?"

Zhou Ping said indifferently, "Okay then, I'll make the rabbit heads at noon and keep them all for you!"

Chen Feng listened to Zhou Ping's words and said happily, "Thank you, Brother Ping! Just give me the rabbit head for lunch, I don't want the rabbit meat."

Seeing that he was happy, Zhou Ping also said with a smile, "Okay, I can get an extra bite of meat."

Chen Feng also said happily, "Brother Ping, I'll go get the lunch box right away. When you're done, just put it in the lunch box for me."

After Chen Feng finished speaking, he turned around and left the tea room. Zhou Ping looked at Chen Feng who left in a hurry and smiled helplessly.

Chen Feng returned to the message room, avoided the crowd's sight, took out the two lunch boxes from the space, and then went to the tea room.

After entering the tea room, Chen Feng saw Zhou Ping chopping rabbit meat again. He didn't turn around when he heard someone coming in.

Chen Feng put the lunch box on the windowsill, and then said to Zhou Ping, "Brother Ping, I put the lunch box on the windowsill!"

Zhou Ping said without turning his head, "Okay, I got it!"

Chen Feng saw that Zhou Ping was busy and he couldn't help him. So he said, "Brother Ping, you go ahead and do your work. I'll be out first!"

When Zhou Ping heard that Chen Feng was about to leave, he stopped what he was doing and said quickly, "Chen Feng, don't leave so quickly!"

Chen Feng also stopped when he heard the voice and asked Zhou Ping in confusion, "Brother Ping, is there anything else?"

Zhou Ping said, "Just watch me later and I'll teach you how to make spicy rabbit head."

Chen Feng was also very surprised when he heard Zhou Ping's words, so he asked, "Brother Ping, if you tell others about your family's cooking skills, aren't you afraid that your father will beat you up?"

Zhou Ping rolled his eyes at Chen Feng, then said, "Chen Feng, have you ever seen a respectable family serve rabbit meat on a table? Rabbit meat is a common dish, and there's nothing wrong with me teaching you."

Chen Feng thought about it and it made sense. Not only now, but in his previous life, he had never heard of rabbit meat being served on banquets in the north. Whether it was served in Sichuan and Chongqing, Chen Feng didn't know.

When Chen Feng heard Zhou Ping say this, he agreed. At most, he could help him more in the future and repay the favor.

So Chen Feng said with a smile, "Okay, Brother Ping, I'll follow your instructions!"

Afterwards, Chen Feng followed Zhou Ping and watched him cook the rabbit meat. Near noon, Zhou Ping finally finished cooking the rabbit.

Then he turned around and asked, "Chen Feng, do you understand?"

Chen Feng nodded and said, "I understand!"

"That's good. I'll write down the recipe for the aniseed when I get to work this afternoon. You can make it at home later."

Chen Feng thanked him again, "Thank you, Brother Ping!"

Zhou Ping smiled indifferently, then said, "Okay, no need to thank me! Chen Feng, go out and ask someone to come in and get some food!"

Chen Feng heard Zhou Ping's instructions and immediately turned around and left the tea room. He shouted to the crowd outside, "The rabbit meat is ready! It's time to eat! Everyone line up to get food!"

When everyone heard Chen Feng's call, they all lined up consciously.

Chen Feng was still the last in line. The person in front of him was the stationmaster Li Guotao. That's why Chen Feng didn't ask the same question as he did last time when he received his salary.

If Chen Feng dared to ask like he did last time, he really couldn't be sure whether Li Guotao would beat him up, so he thought it would be better not to ask.

Finally, Chen Feng returned to the message room holding a box of fragrant rabbit heads, received three steamed buns made from two kinds of flour, and received the box.

Other employees and their families took the meat and white steamed buns back home to share with their families.

Even Li Guotao did the same. He returned home with food, leaving Chen Feng alone, so he did not choose to go home.

It has to be said that Zhou Ping's cooking skills are indeed superb. Chen Feng only ate two rabbit heads and then swallowed the three steamed buns.

Chen Feng then drank the tea in the cup and put the remaining rabbit head into the space to keep it fresh, intending to save it for later use as a snack in the evening.

After lunch, Chen Feng did not wander around. He just took out a novel from the reception room and read it quietly.

He didn't leave the message room the whole afternoon and was reading the whole time.

After get off work in the afternoon, Chen Feng was still the last one to leave the scrap yard.

When they returned to the courtyard, Yan Fugui saw that Chen Feng didn't bring anything back today, so he didn't come closer.

After just greeting him from a distance, he ignored him.

Seeing that Yan Fugui didn't come to bother him, Chen Feng was happy to be free. After responding with a few words, he left quickly.

Back in the backyard, Chen Feng pushed the bicycle into the main room.

Then I peeled a potato, cut it into strips, and fried it in a pan.

After frying, Chen Feng put the French fries on a plate and sprinkled them with seasoning.

Chen Feng brought the French fries to the table in the main room, and took out the rabbit head and bottle of Gujing from the space and put them on the table.

After making the arrangements, Chen Feng turned around and walked to the door, ready to lock it and eat.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Xu Damao jumped out of his house and ran to the door of Chen Feng's house.

While running, he shouted, "Chen Feng, wait! Don't close the door yet!"

Chen Feng looked at Xu Damao who came in front of him, and asked doubtfully, "Xu Damao, is there something wrong?"

Xu Damao smiled frivolously and said, "Chen Feng, what delicious food have you fried up again? It smells so good!"

Chen Feng looked at him and said helplessly, "I don't want to cook today, so I fried some potatoes to go with the wine."

While Chen Feng was speaking, Xu Damao looked towards Chen Feng's house through the gap.

There was a lunch box on the table, which contained some red, round food. The plate next to it should be the French fries that Chen Feng had just fried. There was also a bottle of wine on the table.

After Chen Feng finished speaking, Xu Damao immediately pointed at the spicy rabbit head on the table and asked, "Chen Feng, what delicious food is in that lunch box?"

Chen Feng didn't look back, but said casually, "That's the spicy rabbit head that the company made today. I prepared it to go with the wine."

When Xu Damao heard that it was spicy rabbit head, he was confused. He had never eaten this before.

So Xu Damao said, "Chen Feng, take me with you when you go for a drink! I'll have a good drink with you! By the way, I'll tell you about my great achievements in the yard last night!"

Chen Feng heard Xu Damao say that something happened in the yard last night, so Chen Feng said, "Well, come in! I slept too soundly last night and don't know what happened. You can talk to me about it while we're drinking."

When Xu Damao heard Chen Feng's agreement, he immediately squeezed into Chen Feng's house.

Seeing Xu Damao go in and not close the door, Chen Feng also returned to the table.
