Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

Song Lian's words echoed in the courtyard. Zhou Tian was busy in the kitchen, so he naturally heard them. He pushed open the kitchen door, leaned out and said with a smile: "Brother Song, take your comrades into the house first, I'll be ready soon!"

At this point, all the dishes were ready, except for the clear chicken soup. Since this soup required many ingredients and was quite time-consuming, it took 20 minutes to cook the clear chicken soup.

Divide the clear chicken soup into two portions, send one to the east wing, and bring the other to the main room.

Because there were many people eating today and Song Lian and his family were guests, they were divided into two tables. Grandpa, grandma, mother-in-law, and wife were at one table in the east wing, while Zhou Tian, ​​Song Lian, Chang Wen, Chang Wu, father-in-law Shen Jie, and Secretary Liu were at one table in the main room.

"Everyone, eat! What are you waiting for?"

Zhou Tian walked into the main room carrying the chicken soup, and seeing that no one had started eating, he couldn't help but smile.

"How dare we eat when you, the great chef, haven't even come to the table yet?"

Song Lian said with a smile.

"Hahaha, it seems that my status is quite high!"

Zhou Tian smiled and sat down next to Song Lian. However, when he cast his eyes on Song's comrades, his pupils shrank instantly.

"My goodness, this isn't..."

As he thought about it, his heart was instantly filled with turbulent waves, but he remained calm on the surface.

As far as he knew, this person had died 50 years ago, but he didn't expect that he was still alive today. Wouldn't that mean that the trajectory of history would change significantly? Zhou Tian looked at the familiar face that he had only seen in photos in his previous life, and his heart was in turmoil. He couldn't calm down at all.

He never expected that the comrade-in-arms Brother Song was talking about was this person. No wonder when he asked Brother Song about it, he just smiled and said nothing. Obviously, the identity of this person was really hard to say.

"Xiaotian, why are you so absent-minded? What are you thinking about?"

Shen Jie, the father of Shen on the opposite side, said nothing after seeing his son-in-law sit down. He just stared at Song Lian's comrades in a daze and couldn't help but remind him.

"Oh, oh! It's nothing, just eat it, everyone stop looking at it, just eat it!"

His father-in-law's words instantly woke Zhou Tian up from his daze. He immediately reacted and asked everyone to start eating.

Chang Wen, Chang Wu and Song Lian seemed to understand from Zhou Tian's actions that Zhou Tian might have recognized this person's identity. In fact, Chang Wen only remembered the other person's identity after he led the two into the courtyard and talked with Chang Wu.

But they were surprised that Master Zhou could recognize him. But considering Master Zhou's identity, it is possible that he had seen his photo by chance from another respected leader.

As for Song Lian, he looked at Zhou Tian deeply, and then began to enjoy the sumptuous dinner in front of him at Zhou Tian's invitation.

Secretary Liu was full of praise for the meal. While eating, he said, "Master Zhou, I only knew that you were very talented in mechanical research, but I didn't expect that you were also so good at cooking. This meal is no less delicious than a state banquet!"

Obviously, Secretary Liu did not expect Zhou Tian to have such an incredible talent in cooking, and his curiosity and interest in Zhou Tian became even stronger.

"Thank you for the compliment, Secretary Liu. Cooking is just my personal interest!"

Zhou Tian shook his head and said modestly. After all, he could remain confident and proud in front of anyone, but he maintained extreme respect for this person and the people behind him.

It is not about respecting their status, but respecting their contributions to the country. Even if we look back at the history of five thousand years, an existence like that person is worthy of being called a saint.

"No, no, no, I think Secretary Liu is being too modest. It's not like I haven't eaten at a state banquet before, and it's nothing special. Compared to Xiaotian's cooking skills, I think Xiaotian's cooking is still better. But Xiaotian, your brother Song doesn't know you're so good yet. When can you cook for your brother Song again?"

Song Lian was eating with his mouth full of oil. When he heard Secretary Liu's words, he refuted in a vague tone. After that, he looked at Zhou Tian with a slightly flattering look.

"Brother Song, come on, I don't know you. You can't taste anything you eat. In your opinion, as long as you are full, it's enough!"

Zhou Tian gave Song Lian a displeased look.

"No, no, Xiaotian, you are wrong. Yes, I can eat anything normally, but after having this meal with you, I feel like what I ate before was pig food. From now on, I will rely on you!"

Unexpectedly, Song Lian immediately showed an expression of pride instead of shame, and said in a dishonest manner.

"Yes, yes, I was wrong, Brother Song, you have to add me in!"

Secretary Liu also said with a smile, his face full of anticipation.

"Good fellow, you two really want to rely on me. That's fine, you can do whatever you want. It's not that easy to get me to cook. If you want to eat the food I cook, it depends on what benefits you can offer!"

Zhou Tian immediately looked at the two of them with amusement and said jokingly, half-seriously.

"That's easy. I still have a few watches that were captured on the battlefield. How about I bring one to you tomorrow?"

Song Lian naturally knew what Zhou Tian meant, but he still smiled and followed his words.

"I don't have anything good here, but I have a piece of calligraphy from my father. How about I give you a piece of calligraphy?"

Secretary Liu thought for a moment and said, After all, given his family tradition, it was already good enough that his family was not penniless, and this was the only gift he could offer.

"Then there's no need for that. It's really too expensive. Besides, I was just joking with Brother Song just now!"

Hearing Secretary Liu's words, Zhou Tian quickly waved his hand and refused. Just kidding, although he didn't have much political wisdom, he knew how precious that thing was.

If you really accept it, you would be very ignorant. After all, in many cases, the value of things will change with the situation.

But that thing is not something that ordinary people can possess.

"It's settled, Brother Song. Wait a minute, come home with me and get a painting for Brother Zhou!"

Unexpectedly, Secretary Liu did not give him the chance to refuse and made the decision directly.

"Can I get one, too?"

When Song Lian heard Secretary Liu being so generous, he was immediately surprised and asked directly with a flattering face.

"Get lost, Brother Song, stop talking to me when you're like this!"

Seeing Song Lian's eyes shining, Secretary Liu couldn't help but shudder. He laughed and cursed, and then said no more.

Song Lian seemed to understand the meaning of Secretary Liu's words and stopped forcing it. As everyone talked and laughed, the atmosphere at the dinner table became more lively.

Everyone was left wanting more after the meal. Even Chang Wen, Chang Wu and Shen Jie were eating Zhou Tian's food for the first time and were shocked by his cooking skills.

Until he sent Song Lian and the other two away, Zhou Tian still didn't know why Secretary Liu came to see him, but he also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he was not under much pressure facing Secretary Liu, he could not resist the fact that the other party had a big Buddha behind him.

When I turned around and returned home, I saw that Chang Wen and Chang Wu had already returned to the front yard, and only Father Shen was sitting in the chair in a daze.

"Dad, what's wrong?" Zhou Tian couldn't help but ask when he saw the strange look on Father Shen's face.

"Xiaotian, tell me honestly, who is that Secretary Liu? Why do I always feel that he looks very familiar, but I just can't remember where I have seen him?"

Seeing his son-in-law coming back, Shen Jie could no longer hold back his doubts and asked.

Hearing what Father Shen said, Zhou Tian was silent for a moment. He was obviously considering whether to tell his father-in-law about Secretary Liu's identity. But after thinking about it, he said vaguely: "Dad, it's better for you not to know about this. He is a higher-up!"

Zhou Tian said this, pointing to the sky with a serious face.

"Si!" Father Shen took a breath of cold air and immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. He nodded heavily and looked at his son-in-law with even more respect.
