Siheyuan: Get god-level cooking skills at the beginning
Chapter 6: Tell it to go in
"You are really crazy. An old hen is worth five dollars? You can buy one for only twenty dollars." The mother and son began to defend themselves. One emphasized that it was an unexpected gain, and the other seemed to think that the price was too high.
But Xu Damao didn't care about these details, he sneered and said: "Everyone heard it, I'm not ignorant of the importance of the matter, I originally wanted to solve it privately between neighbors.
But now it seems that this is not going to work. We have to call the police and have the chicken thieves put in jail. Let them have a taste of what it means to be behind bars, and it will be a lesson to them."
He emphasized, "We kept that hen specifically for Lv Xiao'e to nourish her body after giving birth. We raised it for a long time just to give her eggs when she needed them.
Is five dollars a lot? Not at all. "
Everyone looked at each other. This incident had no direct impact on them. Some people echoed and said "not much".
.
In fact, this involves the issue of integrity. Five dollars may not sound like a lot, but for some people it is a considerable amount of money. Five dollars a month is enough to support a family's food.
The market price is generally around one to two yuan.
The uncle Yi Zhonghai beside him understood the situation and was sure that it was Jia's Bangchui who stole the chicken. He glared at Sha Zhuzi fiercely, then advised with a bitter face: "Huai Ru, since the old hen was stolen by your Bangchui, you should compensate Xu Damao three yuan.
Five dollars is too much, and it's not enough to teach Bangchui a lesson, so I'll give him two dollars as a warning according to the market price.
But Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi panicked: "We have no money!"
If they have to pay this money, they may have to go hungry before next month's salary is paid.
Of course, it's not that she really has no money, but because Jia Zhang used the money to save her life or buy medicine, she was reluctant to use this "private money" out of selfishness.
.
Qin Huairu felt helpless and pitiful. With tears in her eyes, she turned to the old man for help: "Uncle, we admit that we have to pay three yuan, but we are really in a difficult situation. We can't even afford to eat every day. Even the factory salary has been paid three months in advance. How can we have extra money?"
However, after hearing what Qin Huairu said, Xu Damao refused to give in: "No, you have to pay today, otherwise I will go to the police station immediately.
Even an old hen, even a small item worth a penny, can make your son squat in there for three months!"
Xu Damao said in a calm voice.
"Can you lend me some?"
Qin Huairu asked for help.
Uncle Yi Zhonghai was also helpless. Faced with such a situation, one family was indeed in trouble, while the other family was extremely difficult.
Qin Huairu also felt helpless when she heard this. The question was, who could she turn to for help? Would she have to ask Uncle Shazhu again? In this small courtyard, the only two families who could really donate generously and were willing to lend money were probably these two families.
She looked at He Yuzhu, and before she could ask, He Yuzhu smiled and said gently: "Sister Qin, you know very well whether I have money or not. You collected my salary last month, and you only gave me a few dollars as living expenses for Yu Shui. The rest is all with you!"
When this was said, everyone was a little surprised. First, they were surprised that Sha Zhu received his salary every month with the help of Qin Huairu; secondly, they were surprised that Qin Huairu was so stingy. She only gave He Yuzhu a few dollars as living expenses for her sister He Yushui, which was deducted from her salary of 37 yuan; some people were even shocked at the delicate relationship between the two. It seemed that their relationship had some problems recently. It was rare to see Sha Zhu refuse Qin Huairu's request.
Qin Huairu noticed the discussions around her and realized that this matter should not be spoken publicly. She looked at her uncle with grievance and said, "Uncle, I can only trouble you to lend me 3 yuan. I can't afford to give away the sticks at home!"
"Hey!"
Uncle Yi Zhonghai sighed, knowing that this was the only way, and then continued: "You can borrow it, but when the door rings, remember to pay me back the money you borrowed today!"
"Okay, okay, I will definitely return it in full one day!"
Faced with the dilemma, Qin Huairu had no choice but to agree to it. She had not originally considered the issue of repayment.
After getting the loan guarantee, Uncle Yi Zhonghai took out three yuan from his pocket and handed it to Qin Huairu.
When he saw Xu Damao accept the money, he couldn't wait to give the order to disband.
"Okay, everyone, go home and fill your stomachs if you're hungry!"
Everyone dispersed immediately, and He Yuzhu did not stay either.
Xu Damao couldn't swallow that breath in his heart at this moment, and the pain made his tone even worse: "Shazhu, you little bastard, remember this, unless you die before me, you will have the same last name as me in the future!"
In this square courtyard,
Xu Damao's nonsense instantly aroused He Yuzhu's dissatisfaction. He immediately stopped and prepared to teach this guy a lesson.
However, Xu Damao was a sharp-tongued person. When he saw He Yuzhu stop, he directly pulled his wife Lou Xiaoe away and said, "What a fool!"
After scolding, He Yuzhu no longer paid attention to him, took the package handed over by He Yushui, put it aside, and said with a smile: "Come and eat, why are you going home at this time? It's not good for the food to get cold!"
He Yushui looked at the dazzling array of delicious dishes on the table and said in surprise: "Silly brother, is there any happy event at home? You actually prepared such a sumptuous meal for your sister? Could it be that you have already prepared it for Sister Qin's family? Otherwise, let's go to Sister Qin's house to eat first, and then we can start!"
Hearing these words, He Yuzhu remembered that every time he brought food back, He Yushui would always eat it first, and he would always ask Qin Huairu to give the food first.
He Yushui had mentioned this matter to him many times.
But they all turned a deaf ear to it, so they developed the habit of sending good things to Qin Huairu first whenever they came across them.
"No need to send me off. Just eat by yourself." He Yuzhu didn't say anything else. He felt deeply guilty because he felt that he owed too much to his sister.
He Yushui was a little surprised when she heard this, and teased mischievously, "Did you have a fight with Sister Qin?"
He Yuzhu picked up a piece of duck meat and put it in He Yushui's bowl, smiled bitterly and shook his head, "We didn't quarrel. I just realized that I am almost 30 years old, but there is no woman at home. I should find a sister-in-law for you to add a warm home for you."
"Hehe, that's not something you normally say, silly brother." He Yushui said as he enjoyed the food, still with a hint of joking.
He Yuzhu understood her concerns.
This kind of misunderstanding has happened before. He always expresses himself like this when he and Qin Huairu disagree.
So, he gently patted He Yushui's head and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work over the years.
In order to help the Jia family overcome the difficulties, I almost gave everything I had.
Even though you don't say it, I know it's not easy for you.
Let's change from today. I have made it clear with Qin Huairu that we need to get along as normal neighbors and stop protecting them endlessly.
In this way, the family can gradually get better. "
These words instantly filled He Yushui's eyes with tears. She hugged He Yuzhu tightly and cried, "As long as you are happy, I won't feel bitter!"
"Silly sister!" Perhaps because of the feelings from his previous life, He Yuzhu felt pity for the little sister he met for the first time.
The brother and sister hugged each other and cried for a long time before they started eating again.
He Yushui felt that this meal was a rare happy moment in many years.
"By the way, where is your boyfriend? Has the wedding been decided?" He Yuzhu thought for a moment and asked gently. After all, He Yushui already had a fiancé.
"Well, he is like that, neither too high nor too low.
The wedding was finalized before the New Year." He Yushui shared the news with a smile.
He Yuzhu listened and nodded.
The wedding was only a month or two away, and she said, “Fortunately, we can make it in time, and I will never skimp on the necessary items.
There are only you and me in our family. Although I want to find a wife, I am afraid that I won’t have the chance during the Chinese New Year. It will only be after the Chinese New Year.
I now have a total of one hundred and fifty-two dollars. Keep two dollars for me to buy some wine during this period, and use the rest to buy you a dowry.
No need to worry about tickets, there are spare ones at home.
If I can come up with a good idea in the next two days, I will try to get you a new bicycle and a good watch as a dowry gift so as not to embarrass the He family. "
At this point, he saw He Yushui couldn't help crying again, so he gently wiped her tears and continued, "I was negligent as a brother in the past and wronged you.
I realize it now and regret it deeply.
The intention is to let you stay a little longer before things are settled.
I never thought that my little girl would move so fast. Haha, before I knew it, my little sister has grown up so much and will be getting married soon! "
"Brother, I don't want to get married." He Yushui was so moved that she started to act like a spoiled brat.
Hearing this, He Yuzhu couldn't help but laugh, then gently stroked her head and said with a smile: "What girl doesn't get married? If you want to come back in the future, just come back. Your elder brother's cooking skills have improved by leaps and bounds recently, and his cooking level has also improved a lot. When you come back, I will definitely prepare delicious food for you."
At this point, he suddenly remembered that he had not had the chance to meet his future brother-in-law yet, and he didn't know what kind of person he would be.
So he continued, “By the way, except for Saturday, find some time to bring your future brother-in-law over for a visit.
You are getting married soon, but I, as the elder brother, have not met your brother-in-law yet, and he, as the brother-in-law, has probably never met me, the elder brother-in-law. This is not good!"
He Yuzhu's words made He Yushui's cheeks slightly red, "Then I'll go ask tomorrow!"
“Good idea, eat more.
I carefully prepared today's meals. How do they compare to the past?"
He Yuzhu said with a smile on his face while tasting the wine.
"Oh my, you've really improved. Bro, when did your cooking skills become so good?"
He Yushui was a little surprised that the new dishes were obviously better than his original ones.
“Oh, I’ve been practicing a lot during this period.
I thought about it. Neither of our families was very extravagant on your wedding day. And I was the chef at the steel factory, so I had to prepare a meal myself, at least to show my blessing to you. "He Yuzhu made up a little bit of the facts.
