Siheyuan: Separate from the beginning and live with my sister

Chapter 72: There is nothing that can’t be solved by a hot pot meal

Soon, Yu Shui and the Yu sisters entered the courtyard, talking and laughing. The third uncle Yan Bugui looked at the girls pushing two brand new bicycles, which seemed to be new models of women's bicycles from Forever, and he felt so jealous.

My second-hand bicycle makes noises everywhere except the bell. It's really worthwhile to compare goods before throwing them away.

"Brother, Brother Lin, what delicious food have you prepared?" After all, they were still young, so Yu Shui and Hai Tang asked about food as soon as they entered the door, which made Yu Li laugh so hard.

"It's an authentic Sichuan spicy hotpot, and there's plenty of beef and mutton. Eat as much as you want."

Xu Damao went to the kitchen to bring over the coal stove and put the pot in place. He Lin was the chef, and he was the only man besides the chef. If he didn't do the hard work, who would dare to do it? For the sake of a delicious meal, Xu Damao also tried his best.

He Lin took out a bottle of prepared wine, which made Xu Damao exclaim, "Uncle Lin, you are so generous. My work today is worth it."

Everything is ready and several people are preparing to eat.

Knock, knock, knock. There was an untimely knock on the door. Xu Damao and several girls frowned. Well, needless to say, it must be Sha Zhu or his sister Qin, or some old man who came to visit.

He Lin didn't take it seriously. He asked them to start eating. He opened the door and leaned against the door frame, showing no intention of letting anyone in.

The people outside were naturally the old man and the laundry lady. Qin Huairu had her own filter, and she looked like a pear blossom in the rain without saying a word. The old man was also ready to take advantage of the situation to attack first, but who expected He Lin to speak first.

"Oh, it's the eldest sister-in-law of the Jia family. What's wrong with you? Why are you so sad? Did some wild man bully you? Don't worry, for the sake of the deceased brother Dongxu, even if some uncle bullied you, I dare to speak up for you."

As he spoke, He Lin glanced at Yi Zhonghai.

The girls inside couldn't hold back any more and laughed out loud. Their brother was good in every way except that he was very unreasonable. Whoever messed with him would be in trouble.

Yi Zhonghai was so angry that his face turned red and his neck turned blue. It wasn't entirely because of what He Lin said, but mainly because he had something to hide.

Taking advantage of the time to arrange Jia Dongxu's funeral in the past two days, he took advantage of Qin Huairu. As the old saying goes, if you want to look good in mourning, especially since she is an old lover, it would be a good thing to renew their old relationship.

Qin Huairu was speechless after hearing what He Lin said, and thought to herself that Section Chief He was really good at judging people.

Putting aside what he was thinking, he still had to say some polite words, and the old man calmed himself down.

"He Lin, where did you go yesterday? Why didn't you go home? You are the leader of the hospital. Such a big thing happened in the hospital, how could you not come to participate?"

Yi Zhonghai's words were still as moral as ever, and he always stood on the commanding heights to demand things of others. He Lin would not indulge his bad habits.

"I'm telling you, uncle. Even if I'm a leader, I'm the leader of the steel mill, not the courtyard house. Why do you care whether I went home yesterday or not? If you have any opinions, why don't you report to Director Yang when you get to work? Why are you wasting your time here and delaying my meal?"

Yi Zhonghai was speechless. He naturally knew He Lin's position in the factory, and he was still within the disciplinary period. Asking him to report to the factory director was like lighting a light in the toilet to seek death.

Seeing that the old man was speechless due to the retort, the laundry lady stepped in personally and said that there was no point in saying more and the real thing was to ask for some gift money.

"Brother He Lin, we are all from the same hospital. I understand that you are busy with your work as a leader. I don't blame you for not being able to attend Dongxu's funeral in person. As the saying goes, gifts are present even if the person is not there. Hey, why am I saying this? Brother He Lin, that's not what I meant. Don't get me wrong. Your sister Qin is not asking you for a gift."

The Laundry Lady is indeed a master of face-changing. If she had been born a few decades later, she would have won an Oscar for Best Actress.

"Don't worry, Dongxu, I can't misunderstand you, because I don't plan to give you a gift. You can go wherever you want."

Having said that, He Lin turned around and closed the door. These two people were talking too much nonsense and disturbing my enjoyment of the hotpot.

Wow, he not only defeated an old man, but also killed a laundry lady. Xu Damao admired him from the bottom of his heart.

It's not that He Lin's words are so powerful. The main thing is that if it were Xu Damao's words, the uncle would definitely arrange for Sha Zhu to charge forward, first give him a beating with fists, and then use verbal attacks. How could Xu Damao not surrender?

In fact, before the uncle and the laundry girl came, they went to call Sha Zhu, but when they heard that Xu Damao was having dinner with He Lin, Sha Zhu didn't come no matter what. No matter how stupid I am, I can't be so stupid as to go up and get beaten. You are all literary people, and you let me get beaten alone. Do you think the beatings I received were in vain?

The eldest master and Qin Huairu had no choice but to go back. This time, the Jia family did not make any money from the funeral and also lost their reputation, although the Jia family did not have a good reputation.

Jia Zhang has returned to prison, and now only Qin Huairu and a few children are left in the old Jia family. Isn't this a godsend opportunity? Yi Zhonghai's mind has also become active.

It's just that Qin Huairu has been refusing to give in, saying that she had just given birth to a child. Yi Zhonghai is also sure in his mind that your family's food, drink, defecation and urination all depend on money. I don't believe that you, Miss Qin, can last for a few days.

Qin Huairu felt miserable. She didn't want Yi Zhonghai to succeed. It would be best if the cows could only work and not eat grass. Unfortunately, she met Yi Zhonghai, an old scoundrel. She didn't know how long she could hold out.

Thinking of He Lin's impolite words just now, Qin Huairu felt so angry that her teeth were itching. She wished that this He Lin was like his silly brother. Although she was a few years older, if someone asked her to be a section chief's wife, she would still consider it.

He Lin naturally had no idea of ​​Qin Huairu's thoughts, so he went back and opened the table, and started drinking with Xu Damao. The three girls also each took a bottle of Arctic Ocean and raised their glasses to drink together.

There is nothing that can't be solved by a hotpot meal. If there is, just have two meals.

The beef and mutton prepared by He Lin were similar to the hand-cut meat in later generations. Although not as delicate as meat rolls, they also had their own flavor. Combined with tripe, tofu, and green vegetables, it was really wonderful to have such a hot pot in those years of material scarcity.

Xu Damao's alcohol tolerance was average, and He Lin was preoccupied today, so he didn't urge him to drink too much. The two of them shared a bottle of Taipa, and that was the end of the conversation.

Xu Damao stood up to say goodbye, and He Lin gave him a piece of prepared hot pot base and asked him to go back and cook.

Xu Damao took the hot pot base handed over by He Lin and said, "Mr. Lin is really kind. The taste today is really amazing. I will prepare another meal tomorrow and enjoy it once again."

"It's easy. Just go back and put the base ingredients in and cook it according to today's method. Come back to me when you're done. You can have as much as you want."

After sending Xu Damao back, the three girls had already cleaned up the dining table in the house.

These young cooks are quite skillful.

He Lin sniffed the smell in the room. The hot pot was delicious, but the smell was too strong. There was no exhaust system in the room, so he was afraid that the smell would not go away today.
