Siheyuan: Incredible understanding and superb cooking skills

In the following words, He Yuzhu hurriedly said to the rain beside him: "Our family is not like this, come on, today I will make braised crucian carp and twice-cooked pork for you..."

As they talked, the two of them walked towards the yard, leaving Xu Damao with his mind full of confused thoughts.

It turned out that after seeing so many delicious foods just now, and the fact that he seemed to be invited to dine together, Xu Damao was so excited that he was even ready to reconcile with Zhuzi.

However, at this moment, facing Sha Zhu's appearance, everything suddenly became clear.

"Just wait, I, Xu Damao, will never let you be complacent. I will make you understand my importance!" Xu Damao said angrily, and accidentally dropped the candy man in his hand.

In an instant, Xu Damao felt like he was electrocuted and screamed loudly: "Oh, my candy man!" He hurriedly bent down to pick up the fallen candy man. Although some of it was damaged into pieces, he still held it carefully in his palm.

This is not something that can be solved by just throwing it away. Even if he cannot wash it clean and eat it again, he will still use his hands to brush off the dust.

Watching He Yuzhu enter the backyard, Xu Damao looked at his back angrily and secretly added another bill!

He Yuzhu brought rain to the door of the deaf old lady and knocked on the door hard. At the same time, he paid attention to the aunt next to him muttering about Jia Zhang and the medicine jar. It seemed that she was waiting very anxiously and planned to go to the central courtyard to find Jia Zhang to get the medicine jar.

The aunt also saw the rain columns and rain, but she did not care too much and instead focused on the food in their hands.

After all, who wouldn't want to take a second look at big fish and pork? It's puzzling why Sha Zhu brought such delicacies to visit the deaf old lady today.

The last time I went to the deaf old lady's house, the food that Sha Zhu brought was already quite good. After the old lady muttered a few words, she couldn't help but think of her medicine jar, so she didn't stay any longer and left in a hurry.

"Grandson, you are finally here.

"

The old woman opened the door, and when she saw the figures of the pillars and the rain, she smiled with her yellow teeth showing, full of relief.

Meanwhile, the old woman noticed the pillars and the objects that the rain had brought with it.

"My dear grandson, where did these come from? He Daqing has already escaped. It's not easy for you and Yu Shui. There's no need to buy these good things.

"

There was a full basket with fish, meat, and some vegetables. Apparently the rain had also brought a lot of dishes to prepare a sumptuous meal for them.

Zhuzi said he came to cook, this kind of sincerity is really rare.

However, He Yuzhu waved his hand and said, "Grandma, how can this compare to what you have found out for me? I appreciate your kindness.

“No matter what the old lady’s temper was, she helped him this time, and his foundation in pharmacology also meant that he might have a chance to rescue his master someday in the future.

So he felt he should express his gratitude.

The old woman was deeply moved after hearing this.

“You’re here too, Zhonghai, say hello to Zhuzi.

“She turned around and brought Yi Zhonghai and an aunt to the pillar.

It turned out that the two men arrived earlier and sat with the deaf old lady first.

After hearing what the old lady said, He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, then saw Yi Zhonghai and the aunt coming to the door, and smiled and announced to Zhuzi: "Zhuzi, the old lady asked us to have dinner together today to add some fun."

Looking at the things in Zhuzi's hand, especially the rich food, Yi Zhonghai admired silently in his heart.

He understood what the deaf old lady said: what she let him see was Zhuzi's sincere feelings.

Even though Zhuzi has no blood relationship with the old lady, Zhuzi is grateful and understands feelings.

Looking at the food he brought, if it were anyone else, I’m afraid they wouldn’t be willing to entertain an old man like this.

After hearing what Yi Zhonghai and the blind lady said, He Yuzhu realized their invitation.

"Are you inviting us to dinner?" He Yuzhu had something in mind.

Before He Yuzhu could respond, the aunt hurriedly said, "Zhuzi, don't worry, we have prepared some things, the dough is already steaming, and I even went to the vegetable market to buy an old hen."

She pointed to the ingredients on the stove.

Although their family conditions were good, they knew that if they wanted to be friends with Zhuzi, they could not do it empty-handed.

Although the food brought by Zhuzi was good, they did not prepare nothing, at least they did not eat and drink for free.

Seeing this scene, He Yuzhu nodded slightly.

Although he has no shortage of money after becoming rich, it does not mean that he can be so generous as to not ask for anything in return.

There is nothing wrong with inviting the old ladies to dinner, but He Yuzhu thinks it is inappropriate for them to come and join in and hope to share, so they can enjoy it for free.

However, when he saw the not-so-luxurious ingredients next to the stove, he thought that adding two more people would not be an extra burden, so he did not have too many objections.

"Okay, let me start getting ready then."

He Yuzhu nodded.

He was originally responsible for today's meal.

The auntie was sympathetic and said, "I'll just help out here. I haven't seen the cooking skills of the chef at Hongbinlou yet."

In response, He Yuzhu politely said: "I am just an ordinary chef, it is a great honor to receive your praise.

"

The aunt's thoughts were racing like lightning. She was deeply influenced by her man and had some understanding of the situation.

If He Yuzhu could take care of me in my old age, my future life would be worry-free.

It is not easy to find someone who can cook nowadays, let alone He Zhuzi who has such a talent for cooking.

In the future, he will become an excellent chef, earn a lot of money, and have plenty of food to eat.

Such a prospect is enviable. No worries about food and clothing, and there is still money to enjoy. How can such a life be uncomfortable? Looking at Zhuzi's personality, he seems to be quite easy-going. No wonder the deaf old lady reminded him to make long-term plans.

Her eyesight is indeed sharp and she can see through people very clearly.

As she pondered these things in her mind, the old lady looked at He Yuzhu with increasing approval.

She thought she should talk to Lao Yi immediately and stop relying solely on the Jia family.

She saw Yi Zhong's helplessness when talking about the Jia family. That time when she helped Jia Dongxu get hospitalized and paid the medical expenses, she was met with indifference.

If it weren't for his obstruction, I would have stopped getting involved in this family's affairs long ago.

While the two were chatting leisurely, He Yuzhu quickly finished his meal.

"Twice-cooked pork, braised crucian carp, stir-fried diced chicken, pickled cabbage, stewed radish and barley steamed buns, and a pot of freshly steamed white rice."

When He Yuzhu placed all these delicacies on the table one by one, the aroma of the dishes and rice intertwined, and even if you just sniffed it lightly, you could feel a sense of fullness and satisfaction that goes straight to the depths of your soul!

For many people of this era, such a rich meal can almost be said to be a luxurious feast that they will hardly encounter in their lifetime.

Three bowls of meat delicacies, plus white steamed buns and plump rice, who wouldn't be moved? Even Yi Zhonghai and the aunt from a wealthy family couldn't help but feel a little dazed when facing such dishes.

On the one hand, they were amazed at the variety and richness of the dishes. On weekdays, these big meat dishes that they would only occasionally enjoy during the Chinese New Year looked like everyday home-cooked meals under Zhuzi's technique.

What is more important is of course the skills of the chef. Zhuzi has been honing his skills in Hongbinlou for many years, and his cooking level has improved significantly. The presentation of dishes now shows the style of a grand hotel.

Putting aside the taste, just looking at the exquisite presentation of these dishes, Yi Zhonghai and his wife were already convinced.

Even common dishes like carrot soup and pickled cabbage are made to look enviably high-end thanks to Zhuzi's cooking skills.

"Yuzhu, you've worked so hard. Come and sit down. Let's eat."

Auntie politely pulled He Yuzhu to her side to dine together.

Sister Yudian sat obediently on the other side of her brother.

At this time, the little girl's taste buds have begun to stir.

She held chopsticks in her hand and stared at the table full of food. The food in front of her dazzled her and she couldn't decide which dish to try first.

Because she is looking forward to how tempting every dish is!

"Madam, can we start eating?"

He Yuzhu asked.

The old man nodded hurriedly: "Okay, my good grandson, you have worked hard today, let's have a good meal together."

Hearing this, Xiao Yudian couldn't wait to pick up a piece of fried chicken with peppers.

She tasted it with pleasure, and then made bursts of spicy sucking sounds.

Despite this, he still felt unsatisfied and grabbed another piece to continue enjoying his delicious feast.

Seeing the little guy wolfing down his food, He Yuzhu couldn't help but remind him, "Take your time. It's spicy. Don't eat it in a hurry."

However, Yudian just nodded and mumbled something to express his understanding, but his movements did not slow down at all.

This clever little girl knew it very well. Her brother cooked every day and she knew the flavors by heart.

When Yi Zhonghai and his wife saw this scene, they smiled knowingly and then began to enjoy the food.

The chopsticks lightly touched the edge of the plate, and the heart-warming aroma wafted to the tip of the nose, arousing the appetite of both of them.

As soon as they took a bite, the flavor immediately blossomed in their mouths, and Yi Zhonghai and his wife's eyes were instantly brightened.

"Yuzhu, your cooking skills are amazing. The food here tastes even more authentic than what we had in the restaurant!"

The aunt said sincerely, and Yi Zhonghai nodded in agreement.

Seeing that everyone was praising him, Old Man Yi took the initiative to interrupt and said, "I'd like to try my eldest grandson's cooking, too."

She held a bowl of white radish soup in front of her, took a sip, and a strange light flashed in her deep eyes.

"it is good."

She said it lightly, and although her words were brief, they carried a lot of weight.

In her past life experiences, the old woman has tasted all the world's flavors, so ordinary skills are naturally not surprising to her.

But what she was tasting was just an ordinary bowl of carrot soup. However, the simpler the food, the more it reflects the chef's skill level.

"Grandson, it seems that you have indeed learned some tricks in Hongbin Building."

After hearing the praise from the people around him, Jia Yuzhu said politely: "Grandma, you are too kind. I only cook occasionally. I am not very good at it. I just hope that everyone likes the food."

When Yi Zhonghai and a mother saw this scene, they remained silent but their eyes revealed something meaningful.

If the previous pillar had only proposed to get closer under the guidance of the deaf old lady, perhaps they would have hesitated.
