Siheyuan: The Qing Dynasty is back

Chapter 125 Seafood Dinner

Sure enough, after they talked in the living room for a while, Sha Zhu came back pushing the cart.

Yu Li hurried over and pulled Sha Zhu to ask, "Zhu Zi, why did you come back so soon? Are you okay?"

Sha Zhu smiled and said, "It's okay. Yan Jiecheng is really lucky. He looked like he was almost dead when we went there, but who knew he would be fine halfway through the journey."

"So, the uncle let me come back by myself, and gave me one dollar for travel expenses, and told me not to tell anyone about this when I come back. Don't you think it's weird?"

Yu Li and the others were confused by Sha Zhu's words. Why did Yan Bugui give money to Sha Zhu? Logically speaking, how could Yan Lao, who was so stingy, do such a thing?

He Daqing looked at Sha Zhu and said with a straight face, "Just take it if I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense? If I hadn't gone to deal with this matter today, you would have been waiting for Yan Laokou's family to come and cause trouble for you!"

"Why did you hit Yan Jiecheng for no reason? And in front of so many people. Do you think they are all fools and can't see through your tricks?"

Sha Zhu was talking happily to everyone, but after being scolded by his father, he immediately stood aside obediently.

He whispered, "Dad, it was that guy who secretly reported us last time. I was just angry, so I took the opportunity to teach him a lesson today."

He Daqing waved his hand and said, "Alright, be more careful next time. This is considered some progress, and you know how to use your brain. Go to the kitchen to pack up and prepare to cook."

When Sha Zhu heard that his father didn't punish him this time and even praised him, he was as happy as a child and immediately replied, "Okay, Dad, you sit down and have a rest first. I'll take care of it and then you can go over and do it."

He Yushui still asked in confusion: "Dad, then why did Yan Bugui give money to my brother?"

He Daqing said helplessly: "Can't you understand such a simple truth? The money Yan Bugui gave to Zhuzi was hush money. It was to ask him not to say that Yan Jiefang was fine. Otherwise, if Xu Damao knew about it, what would he do if he asked him for money?"

"It's only one dollar for keeping quiet, and you look so happy. If I say you're stupid, you really are stupid. Even if you want three or five dollars from him, Yan Bugui will probably give it to you."

After hearing this, everyone in the family understood immediately and looked at Sha Zhu as if he were a fool.

Sha Zhu no longer had the excitement he had when he first came back, and said angrily, "This old Yan is really stingy. He only gave me one dollar, and he embezzled more than ten dollars from Xu Damao. I'll go find him when he comes back."

Chen Xueru persuaded, "Okay, we don't need that few dollars. As long as you are fine. Go and cook, Haitang and Yushui are waiting for the seafood dinner."

He Daqing also said: "That's it. Don't go out and say anything. Zhuzi won't suffer any loss anyway. Go cook."

With the persuasion of He Daqing and Chen Xueru, Sha Zhu felt a little better.

Yu Li pulled him into the kitchen to prepare the seafood.

He Daqing thought about it and went to the kitchen to teach Sha Zhu. He was afraid that Sha Zhu didn't know how to clean some of the seafood.

When it got dark, bursts of fragrance emanated from He Daqing's house, filling the entire courtyard.

Many people smelled the aroma and came out to look towards He Daqing's kitchen, wanting to know what delicious food he made that smelled so good.

Especially Jia Zhang and Bang Geng, who lived in the same courtyard, both stood at the door, stretched their necks, and looked at Sha Zhu's kitchen with drooling.

During this period, Jia Zhang and Bang Geng lived a very comfortable life. With the money given by Xu Damao and Qin Huairu, they could buy whatever they wanted to eat.

Moreover, they would often take advantage of Xu Damao not being at home to run to Qin Huairu's place and take whatever they liked. Sometimes, they would take all the food and Qin Huairu and Xiaodang would have nothing to eat, but they didn't care.

Now that they smelled the fragrance from He Daqing's house, the grandmother and granddaughter felt that the steamed bread at home was no longer fragrant. They were so greedy that their mouths were watering.

In Sha Zhu's kitchen, He Daqing was preparing delicious seafood dishes. Sha Zhu and Yu Li, the two assistants, were both craving for the food.

Sha Zhu was really enlightened today. It turns out that there are so many ways to cook seafood, which dazzled him. He felt that his father's cooking skills were really profound and he still had a lot to learn.

When He Daqing finished cooking the last dish, he asked Yu Li and Sha Zhu to bring the dish to the living room.

As the seafood dishes were served one after another, there was the scallion-fried sea cucumber that Shazhu liked, the steamed hairtail slices that Yushui liked, as well as steamed small yellow croaker, braised abalone, steamed scallops with vermicelli and garlic sauce, octopus in sauce, and so on.

When He Yushui and Yu Haitang saw so many dishes, they couldn't help but drool.

Even Chen Xueru was so tempted by the table full of delicious food that she couldn't take her eyes away.

After everyone sat down, He Daqing said, "Come, have a taste. There are many seafoods here that we don't normally see. We have this opportunity this time, so let's satisfy our cravings. Anyway, this stuff won't last long, so we have to finish it early."

As He Daqing picked up his chopsticks, He Yushui immediately picked up a piece of hairtail and started eating.

Everyone picked up their favorite seafood and put it into their mouths.

What He Daqing brought back were all collected by him when he went out to sea, and they were kept in the space. It can be said that they are very fresh.

Coupled with He Daqing's cooking skills, everyone was full of praise for the food.

He Yushui picked up a small octopus and asked, "Dad, what is this? Why does it look so strange? Is it delicious?"

"This is called octopus, also known as octopus. It is very delicious, you will know when you try it."

He Yushui carefully bit off a tentacle and chewed it in her mouth. It felt very chewy, and with the spicy taste of the sauce, she liked it more and more.

Seeing He Yushui eating so happily, Yu Haitang picked one up and started eating too.

Now, the two of them seemed to have discovered a new world, and most of the octopus in sauce went into their mouths.

Chen Xueru was pregnant and would have morning sickness if she ate some fish.

But she couldn't stop eating the seafood on the table tonight, without even a hint of morning sickness.

Seeing that everyone likes seafood so much, He Daqing decided to cook more for his family in the future. Anyway, he still has a lot of seafood in his space. He has already thought of an excuse, that is, the person who bought seafood in the past helped to bring it.

This way there will be more dishes at home, and the baby in Chen Xueru's belly can also get more nutrition.

You know, in this situation, even if He Daqing is rich and has supernatural powers, he can't find many nutritious things. At most, he can secretly eat some meat at home occasionally to supplement Chen Xueru's nutrition.

Now that we have seafood, we can give her more nutrition, after all, one person eats for two people to digest.

It was a sumptuous seafood dinner and everyone was very satisfied with it. Yu Haitang and He Yushui even rubbed their stomachs and said they couldn't eat any more.
