Siheyuan: Incredible understanding and superb cooking skills

After the matchmaker left, Jia Zhang asked Jia Dongxu to come outside: "Son, there is also a master."

Jia Dongxu's face was obviously pale at this time. When he saw his mother finished talking with the matchmaker, he hurriedly told her, "Mom, it's okay, you have already talked to the master.

We will talk to the girl in detail later and arrange a meeting for you."

Jia Zhang knew that her son had made up his mind and had set his eyes on Qin Huairu.

After hearing what Jia Zhang said, Jia Dongxu felt a little relieved.

However, his expression soon revealed a worry: "Mom, tell me, why is she unwilling this time? If this matter is not clear, what if her attitude changes again when we meet next time?"

Yi Zhongqiu said, "It's probably because of your work, Dongxu. Don't worry too much. Study hard with your master during this period. I'm thinking about talking to the factory manager again to arrange a formal assessment for you to become a regular employee."

Yi Zhongqiu also began to consider taking action.

Originally, he planned to proceed step by step, but Dongxu's regular employment had already affected the blind date, so naturally he also needed to work harder to help.

Hearing this, Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhang were both cheered up.

"Master, thank you so much."

When I fell into the water and fell ill, my master came to take care of me; even when I encountered trouble during this blind date, my master took the initiative to help me out.

Jia Zhang's sincere gratitude to Yi Zhongqiu was beyond words.

However, there was a glimmer of doubt in Jia Zhang's eyes.

If Yi Zhongqiu can help Dongxu become a regular employee smoothly, that would certainly be a great thing.

However, it is not entirely clear how grateful Jia Zhang was.

Because in her opinion, this was the situation deliberately designed by Yi Zhongqiu. Did he deliberately want to see Dongxu in trouble before he helped?

When he failed the last assessment, Jia Zhang already had some complaints towards Yi Zhongqiu: You are already a senior worker in the steel plant, but you didn't help your apprentice when he needed to be converted to a regular employee?

Now that she could clearly see that they were facing difficulties but they were slow to express their willingness to help, she felt that they must have been deliberately avoiding the issue before!

This forced the Jia family to pay for the expenses of the first blind date.

Therefore, Jia Zhang did not feel much gratitude for Yi Zhongqiu's help this time. Instead, she felt that it was a natural act.

"Dongxu's mother, stop hiding it. You just promised to buy a sewing machine for that girl. Hurry up and buy it in the next few days, so that the girl won't be unhappy in the end."

Yi Zhongqiu reminded at the right time.

Faced with the possible little plot of her future daughter-in-law, Jia Zhang did not refute it directly, but she secretly felt some resentment towards him in her heart.

She's already being picky before she even gets married, as if she thinks her Jia family can be manipulated by anyone?

What we are doing now is just to lure the girl in first.

The future, uh-huh!

Jia Zhang would never indulge her temper, and would make her pay back in full when the time comes!

As for that sewing machine, I spent so much money on it just for a promise, not just for the sake of sounding good.

If Qin Huairu didn't give them enough rewards, how could Jia Zhang let her go so easily?

So, on the surface it seems that the Jia family is spending money, but to a certain extent it is equivalent to an investment - an investment that is sure to make a profit.

Otherwise, given Jia Zhang's personality, how could she agree to these additional conditions?

After explaining the matter, Yi Zhongqiu said goodbye and returned.

On the other side, in the Dongcheng District of the old city, Wangfujing Street.

He Yuzhu took He Yushui and strolled along the most prosperous commercial street in the area.

He Yuzhu held her sister's hand in hand, holding a lollipop in the other hand, taking a bite from time to time. She jumped around lively, and the atmosphere was full of joy.

At the same time, He Yuzhu's eyes were constantly examining this famous shopping street in Beijing.

Today's Wangfujing is very different from what it looked like in later generations, but here, it can still be regarded as an iconic street in downtown Beijing.

Various shops on both sides display novel goods, but for He Yuzhu, looking at these things gives him a strong feeling of traveling back in time.

Soon, they and Xiao Yuzhu stopped in front of a clothing store.

In a tailor shop, a woman about thirty years old was walking towards me.

She was wearing a blue coat and her smile was full of natural beauty, giving people an irresistible sense of intimacy.

Undoubtedly, this is the owner of the shop.

He Yuzhu and He Yushui walked into the tailor shop, which was located next to Wangfujing and had an attractive facade.

The store is spacious, estimated to be around 200 to 300 square feet, and is filled with a wide variety of fabrics, with many customers carefully selecting fabrics.

He Yuzhu smiled and greeted the shop owner. "We want to make some new clothes for my sister and me."

He made it clear.

The clothing choices of ordinary people in this era were completely different from those in later generations. There were not many ready-made clothes to choose from, and all clothes needed to be customized according to the customer's own size.

First, you have to measure your size from the sewing master and choose the required fabric, and then you have to wait for several days for the finished product to be made.

The styles are also very limited, leaving little room for personalization.

But even so, being able to go to a tailor shop to have custom-made clothes is already a very good choice, and it appears to be of higher quality than the rough cloth sold in the market.

He Yuzhu was familiar with and compliant with such rules. He immediately assisted He Yushui in measuring his body accurately.

As for colors, they each chose two, and the styles were some common types among the public.

He Yuzhu prepared two sets of clothes for himself and his sister: one set was for the current spring to keep warm, because it was already the end of February, and although the cold winter had left, it would still be a bit cold in the mornings and evenings, and a coat was an essential spring clothing; the other set was thin clothes to cope with the climate when summer was approaching but not too hot yet.

After He Yuzhu paid the store owner, he agreed to pick up the goods in a few days.

After choosing the new clothes, He Yushui was filled with joy and jumped for joy.

Because in the society at that time, it was a blessing for a child to be able to go out shopping, not to mention having her brother He Yuzhu take her shopping and make new clothes.

In the past, even during the Chinese New Year, my sister rarely had such a situation.

He Yuzhu saw his sister's happy expression, touched her head and said, "As long as you like it.

After you buy the new clothes, remember to study hard after school starts. If you do well in your studies, I will buy you more interesting and delicious things. "

Recalling that his parents often educated him on the topic of studying when he was a child, he now understands the feeling of expectation.

As an older brother, he understands and shoulders the responsibility and care for his sister, which is a deep love that comes from the same parents.

After hearing this, Yu Shui nodded repeatedly to show her agreement.

She was not stupid at first, and although she found studying boring, she would naturally be willing to do it whenever she thought that studying would make her brother happy and would bring her many benefits.

After leaving the tailor shop, the brother and sister found a small restaurant near Wangfujing and had lunch.

Despite being in a restaurant, He Yushui showed no noticeable reaction after taking the first bite of food.

"Brother, this is far inferior to your craftsmanship."

He Yushui enjoys the delicious meals prepared by her brother, a chef, every day, so she is not very surprised by the food in ordinary restaurants.

Seeing this scene, He Yuzhu didn't say much. His cooking skills were enough to surpass many high-end restaurants. It was normal for such an ordinary small restaurant to have a certain gap.

However, the idea of ​​valuing food remained unchanged, and despite the comments in their mouths, both of them finished their dishes.

"Okay, I'll take you home." After dinner, the two took a short rest. Looking out the window, it was almost dusk, so He Yuzhu took his sister to the master's residence.

**Xuefeng Pharmacy is located in an alley in Xicheng District.

**

As night fell, the number of customers in the pharmacy began to decrease.

Xie Yingqi, who had worked so hard, could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

She stretched her body and shook her braid.

At this time, Xie Xuefeng was returning from the pharmacy.

"Grandpa, you're finally back." When she saw it was grandpa, her voice was a little tender and revealed a hint of complaint, because today was the weekend and the big pharmacy had been busy all day, which made Xie Yingqi feel more stressed.

Hearing his granddaughter's emotional words, Xie Xuefeng hurriedly smiled and walked forward: "Oh, my dear granddaughter, are you tired? Grandpa specially stewed twice-cooked pork today!"

When Xie Yingqi heard that there was twice-cooked pork available, her beautiful eyes lit up immediately.

Usually girls prefer vegetarian dishes, but for her, the preference for meat is above all else.

This is due to the fact that their family is large, so they are never stingy with food.

"You think you can buy me off with just a meal of twice-cooked pork? That won't do!" Xie Yingqi quickly replied, still "aggressive" to her grandfather in a ambiguous way.

.

Xie Xuefeng looked at his granddaughter and chuckled, "Just wait, I'll treat you to a feast next time."

This little ancestor of the Xie family is simply irreplaceable in my grandfather's heart.

Hearing this, Xie Yingqi smiled slyly and approached Grandpa and said, "Grandpa, guess who I met today?"

Xie Xuefeng raised his eyebrows when he heard this and asked, "What's going on? Are there any distinguished guests coming?"

Xie Yingqi shook her head and explained, "It was Comrade He Yuzhu from Nanluo Lane across the lane from us. He came here to get medicine."

When these three words were mentioned, Xie Xuefeng's face changed instantly. He looked around and found that there were only a few customers left.

Realizing something, Xie Xuefeng took Xie Yingqi to the side and whispered:

**"Yingqi, do you think Zhuzi is here to get medicine again?!"

**

Xie Xuefeng's tone was filled with worry, because they had made arrangements before, and Xie Yingqi should have informed Zhuzi, why did the boy seem to have no improvement?

Xie Yingqi looked at her grandfather's worried expression and immediately understood what was going on. She smiled and assured him, "Don't worry, Grandpa. Zhuzi...he..."

When calling him 'pillar', Xie Yingqi's heart suddenly palpitated.

Fortunately, Xie Xuefeng did not pay attention to his granddaughter's subtle reaction.

"Zhu Zi is not here to look for the previous batch of medicinal materials. I have checked them and there is no problem."

Hearing this, Xie Xuefeng paused for a moment, then felt a little relieved.

Ever since the two curator Zhang Luo found him, Xie Xuefeng vaguely sensed something different.

During this period, he also met several old friends, all of whom also opened pharmacies.
