Siheyuan: Get god-level cooking skills at the beginning

"Okay, let's not talk about it for now. Hubby, the food is almost ready. We can get out the wine and have a few drinks with them." Wang Qian understood that He Yuzhu didn't want to cause trouble today, and responded with a smile.

The two men held wine glasses and toasted the guests one by one. Everyone cooperated with their attitude and gave a warm response.

After grabbing the food, Bang Geng ran to the alley to hide. He clearly remembered that Qin Huairu must have noticed when they were arguing. Therefore, in order to avoid her search, he took his sisters to hide in a dilapidated uninhabited place in the alley.

"Hurry up and eat it. I got this with great difficulty. I almost got discovered by those annoying guys Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu and Yan Jiefang." Bang Geng shared with his two sisters with a smile on his face. At the same time, he grabbed a handful of meat and put it into their mouths.

“It’s delicious and smells so good.”

"Brother, the meat is so delicious!" The two sisters couldn't wait and praised it as soon as they took a bite.

"Of course. I counted carefully. There is half a pound of meat in this bowl of food alone." Bang Geng took a bite and said complacently.

"Brother is such a genius." The two sisters praised him.

"Yes, I am great. What I brought is enough for the three of us." Bang Geng was very satisfied to hear the praise, and he did not forget to add, "After all, I am an adult, how can I not be great? Eat it while it's hot, otherwise it will get cold. It's a pity that I can't go back for more, otherwise I can bring a second bowl."

"Yeah, brother should eat more too." There was a sense of boasting in his words, making people think that he had done something extraordinary.

"It smells so good! Uncle's cooking skills are really good. This meat is much more delicious than the hot pot I had last night." Xiao Dang couldn't help but praise.

"Then eat more, and eat quickly." Bang Geng said without any hesitation. He reached out, grabbed the meat and put it into his mouth.

Soon, the whole plate of braised pork was eaten up by them. As the portion was large, they were almost full.

When the three people were talking greasy mouths, Qin Huairu searched almost the entire alley, but still failed to find any trace of the children. After walking around, she heard the laughter of children nearby and walked over there.

When we arrived at the gate, we heard Banggeng say with a smile, "Xiaodang, Huaihua, let's play here for a while and go home after dinner, otherwise mom will be angry and we will get beaten."

As soon as these words fell, Qin Huairu rushed in with a gloomy face and said in a cold voice: "I'm already very angry!"

"Mom, why are you here?" Banggeng and the other two were so scared that they stood up immediately.

Seeing this situation, Qin Huairu picked up a wooden stick, walked slowly over, grabbed Banggeng's clothes and started beating him until he started crying.

"Don't hit my brother, Mom." As Banggeng started crying, Xiaodang and Huaihua also started sobbing. In a short time, the four of them were crying together in the dilapidated courtyard.

Gradually, Qin Huairu's anger subsided. She looked at the three children and said, "Banggeng, Xiaodang and Huaihua, when you get home, you must kowtow to Uncle He and apologize. Do you understand?"

"I don't want to, what's the reason?"

"I don't want to either. Why?"

In the small courtyard in the dilapidated Nantongluo Alley, Banggeng immediately shouted loudly when he heard the request for apology. In his opinion, he just took away a table of food from Liu Guangtian and his friends, so why should he apologize to Daizhu? He did nothing wrong!

"Pa!" Qin Huairu could no longer bear it and slapped him. Perhaps because she was too excited, the slap was quite violent. An obvious bruise instantly appeared on Banggeng's face.

"Why? Did you know that I would prepare delicious food for you when you came home at noon? I gave you pocket money to buy food just to avoid any problems, but you started making trouble after not seeing each other for a short time. Do you know that people looked at me like a thief? If there was a crack at that time, I could have crawled through it!" Qin Huairu said a series of words in high spirits, appearing very angry.

When she thought of the looks of others just now, an inexplicable sense of shame surged up in her heart.

"Mom, don't be angry anymore. Let me go kowtow to Uncle He and admit my mistake, okay?" Xiaodang also quickly interrupted and tried to comfort his mother.

"Are you still my child? If it weren't for Shazhu reporting the case, grandma wouldn't have come back until now. She just stole a few pounds of meat. Didn't I often go to your Uncle He's place to steal things when I was a child? Why didn't he come to catch me? Humph, if you want me to keep my word and bow to apologize, I will never do it even if I die!" Banggeng said angrily, pushed Qin Huairu rudely, and then ran away quickly.

"Bang Geng!" Qin Huairu shouted hurriedly. However, the Bang Geng did not stop, but instead moved faster and soon disappeared at the end of her sight.

"Mom!" Xiaodang and Huaihua witnessed the scene and called out softly, their eyes full of worry.

"Oh, this child, when will he understand something?" Qin Huairu wiped away her tears, sighed deeply, and felt extremely tired.

She stayed in the yard for a while, accompanying the two children until they cried out that the banquet in the courtyard might have ended, and then she took the children back. As expected, when she came back, she saw that the dining table in the yard had been tidied up, and she happened to meet Wang Qian and two aunts sweeping away leftovers and debris.

She had intended to say hello, but she saw that the three of them turned their heads away, obviously unwilling to interact with her. Qin Huairu sighed helplessly and gave up the idea of ​​accompanying her child to apologize. After the mother and daughter entered the house, the two aunts glanced at Wang Qian but didn't say much. If it were them, their reaction might be more intense.

If this happened at her wedding, she would probably find it equally difficult to accept. After everything was sorted out, Wang Qian and one of the aunties dumped the waste together. After emptying the waste, she said to the three aunties, "Aunties, thank you for helping me today. I found some leftovers on the table. You should go home and get another bowl so that you can take some away for dinner."

The weather is still a little cold, so the food will not spoil if stored for a few days. "Okay, okay, thank you." The aunt said gratefully, and she praised Wang Qian, "It is a blessing for you to be with Zhuzi, and you have a kind heart."

Hearing this, Wang Qian smiled and replied: "Auntie, please don't say that. We are all neighbors, and I am grateful for your help today. From now on, I will become a member of the yard, and we need to communicate more." "Okay, I will definitely do that."

Back in the yard, Wang Qian left a few leftovers for dinner, and evenly distributed the rest to the first and third aunties, as well as Zhao Dong's family in the backyard. The first and third aunties' portions were provided by her, while the portion for Zhao Dong's family was proposed by He Yuzhu after he saw so much leftovers after drinking.

After the three families divided the food, there was not much left, so it was easy to clean up. Wang Qian returned to the house with the basin of leftovers and found that He Yuzhu had fallen asleep, with a satisfied smile on his face. At this moment, Wang Qian's heart was filled with happiness.

She understood how expensive today's banquet was. More than 40 kilograms of white flour were used, and more than 30 kilograms of corn flour were used. If she and the middle-aged woman hadn't stopped him, He Yuzhu might have simply used white flour to entertain everyone. Several dozen kilograms of meat were used, and potatoes, vegetables and fruits consumed even more. Adding up the expenses for drinks, it would cost nearly 100 yuan. Fortunately, an old man sponsored a 50-yuan gift, and the deaf-mute old woman also gave 20 yuan, otherwise today's banquet would probably still be a loss.

All this was just to make her look radiant and win face for her. If it was just to prepare one or two tables, it would only cost a few dozen yuan at most. Thinking of this, Wang Qian's expression became even more tender.

She placed the remaining dishes on the dining table, then took a basin to collect hot water, wet a towel and walked to the bedside, carefully and gently wiped He Yuzhu's face and hands, with a smile on her face.

"Um?"

Although he drank a lot, He Yuzhu did not lose his composure. It was just because the work schedule in the steel rolling workshop made him accustomed to taking a lunch break. He opened his eyes, looked at his wife's gentle eyes, gently took her hand and asked, "Have you finished cleaning up outside? I fell asleep just now without realizing it."

"It's already been cleaned up, with the help of the two aunts. I left a lot of leftovers in a bowl for Zhao Dong, kept some for myself for dinner, and shared the rest with the two of them." Wang Qian replied softly.

"Thank you for your hard work, my wife. I love you." He Yuzhu forgot about time for a moment and spoke common words in his future life.

Wang Qian's cheeks turned red at his words, and she whispered, "Hubby, I love you too."

"Hahaha, I love you too." He Yuzhu laughed heartily and then confessed bravely.

The couple was deeply in love, kissing each other affectionately at this warm moment. If Wang Qian hadn't been a little shy, they would have already started having sex instead of just talking during the day.

After chatting for a while, Wang Qian took out a list and said with a smile: "Honey, this is the money I received today, a total of 5 yuan and 2 cents. The old man gave the most, yuan, and the grandma in the backyard also donated yuan. It's all here."

"It's okay. Their thoughts are the most important. Just accept it." He Yuzhu patted Wang Qian's hand and continued solemnly, "As for the old lady, take care of her as if she were our own grandmother. As for the uncle and aunt, since they have no children, we will take over their care in the future. Please accept their gift, no matter how much. As for the issue of care for the elderly, I have never mentioned it directly, but now we are married and a family, you can discuss this matter with them in person."

Wang Qian was slightly surprised to hear him say this, but she quickly understood her husband's idea and had no objection. She smiled and said, "Provide for grandpa and aunt in their old age? I have no objection, but I have never heard of it before, so I am a little surprised. In fact, although we have not had much contact in the past few days, we can see that they are both good people and very friendly to us. Providing for them in their old age is just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks to our daily meals, which is not complicated. And when we have children in the future, they can help take care of them, so that we can work less worriedly."
