Siheyuan: The Qing Dynasty is back

With acquaintances around, the scene quickly became lively.

Lou Zhenghua took the opportunity to introduce Lou Xiao'e: "This is my daughter Xiao'e. I have to thank you, Master He, for what happened last time. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous."

Lou Xiao'e probably knew that He Daqing saved her, so she said happily: "Uncle He, thank you! I have always wanted to apologize to you in person, but I never had the chance. This time I can finally thank you in person."

As he said this, he bowed to He Daqing.

He Daqing said politely: "It's okay. Your father and I are old acquaintances. How could I watch you fall into the fire pit? For a lovely girl like you, anyone is better than someone like Xu Damao."

After saying that, he also pulled Shazhu behind him and said: @This is my son He Yuzhu, he has been learning cooking from me for many years, and his cooking skills are pretty good. This time I brought him here to help me. "

Sha Zhu also stepped forward to greet Lou Zhenghua and his wife as well as Lou Xiaoe one by one.

Ever since he got on the bus, Sha Zhu felt that his glasses were not enough.

The luxurious car, the beautiful villa, and even the gate look very grand.

So this is what the life of rich people is like. Only then did Sha Zhu realize that comparing yourself with others can really make you angry.

Sha Zhu also took a careful look at the girl in front of him who was almost going to marry Xu Damao.

He even wondered if this girl had something wrong with her brain, otherwise why would she fall for a bad guy like Xu Damao?

Sha Zhu didn't hide his disdainful look as if he was looking at a fool, which made Lou Xiao'e so angry that she rolled her eyes at him.

Sha Zhu smiled indifferently and looked at Lou Xiao'e as if she were a fool as always.

This made Lou Xiao'e angry and hateful towards Sha Zhu, but she couldn't drive him away. Her helpless expression looked quite pitiful.

He Daqing and Lou Zhenghua and his wife were walking in front. The three of them were talking and laughing, and they didn't notice what was happening between the two people behind them.

Arriving at the living room, Sha Zhu was again amazed by the luxurious decoration of Lou's house. He kept looking around. His surprised expression made Lou Xiao'e feel much better.

Turns out you're just a bumpkin too. I still like the way you looked down on others just now!

Sha Zhu is a simple-minded person. He likes her and envies her. He doesn't even look at Lou Xiao'e, which makes Lou Xiao'e feel a little indignant.

Lou Zhenghua asked He Daqing to drink a few sips of tea, then took them into the kitchen.

Although the Lou family’s kitchen is not as big as the one at Li Huaide’s father-in-law’s house, there is no shortage of things in it.

Lou Zhenghua took out the scallops, sea cucumbers, chickens and ducks he had prepared.

He Daqing actually discovered that there were precious ingredients such as shark fin and bird's nest in it.

Lou Zhenghua said, "The guest coming tomorrow is very important, so I spent a lot of effort to find these things. Master He, just take care of them."

He Daqing nodded and said, "Okay, I haven't seen such precious ingredients for a long time. I'm itching to try them. Just leave it to me. I'll put the soup on the stove today and deal with some things that need to be processed in advance. I'll do the rest tomorrow."

After Lou Zhenghua finished explaining things to He Daqing, he took his wife and Lou Xiao'e and left the kitchen, leaving the place to He Daqing and his son.

Sha Zhu watched the Lou family leave, then whispered, "Dad, it turns out that bad guy Xu Damao was right. The Lou family is really rich. Look at their home and the ingredients. Ordinary people probably won't see them in their lifetime."

He Daqing slapped the silly man on the head and scolded him, "What did I teach you? We are here to cook. Who told you to care about these things? Just focus on making the dishes. You should not worry about other things. Do you remember?"

After saying that, he slapped Shazhu on the head again.

Sha Zhu covered his head and nodded quickly.

"Remember, Dad! Remember! Hit me gently, or I'll become a fool!"

He Daqing cursed: "If you don't fight, you're no different from a fool! Stop talking nonsense and get to work!"

Under He Daqing's violent suppression, Sha Zhu dared not say a word and obediently started to get busy.

Thinking that Lou Zhenghua said there would only be two or three guests tomorrow, and if his family members were added, He Daqing looked at the ingredients and planned to make eight dishes, it would be enough.

First, soak the shark fins. The first dish is "Braised Shark's Fins".

Then it was bird's nest, he planned to make a dish called "Bird's Nest in Clear Soup".

The rest can be used to make the Tan family's specialty "Tan's Braised Pork", as well as "Abalone with Oyster Sauce", "Braised Large Black Sea Cucumber", "Steamed Chicken with Straw Mushrooms", and "Sunflower Duck".

Let’s finish with a special vegetarian dish, “Vegetarian Stew with Tremella fuciformis”.

After deciding on the dishes to be made, He Daqing began to instruct Sha Zhu to prepare some simple ingredients, and he also started to make the soup.

He Daqing taught Sha Zhu while he was cooking. It was a rare opportunity to cook these dishes now, and he hoped that Sha Zhu could learn more.

The two of them worked until it got dark before they finished the preparations. The rest would be done tomorrow.

Seeing how seriously He Daqing and his son worked, Lou Zhenghua not only asked the driver to take them home when they left, but also gave them some rare ingredients to take back.

He Daqing looked at the abalone, sea cucumber, prawns and meat in the net bag and accepted them after refusing several times.

These things were difficult to obtain even for He Daqing himself, but this time, thanks to Lou Zhenghua, he was able to bring them home so that Chen Xueru and several children, as well as Yu Li and He Yushui could have a taste.

Of course, Nan Yi and Liang Ladi’s family are also indispensable.

When he got home, Nan Yi was cooking in the kitchen. Sha Zhu proudly carried the things over and took them out one by one in front of Nan Yi, showing off.

Nan Yi looked at the ingredients with shining eyes, his hands itching to try them.

When the chef sees the precious ingredients, he feels like a bachelor seeing a beautiful woman. He feels itchy in his heart and wants to try it himself.

Sha Zhu placed the food in front of Nan Yi and said, "Don't even think about these things. My dad said he will cook them later because he's afraid we'll waste the food."

After hearing this, Nan Yi realized that Sha Zhu was playing a trick on him.

So he said angrily: "You have been so proud for a long time, and I thought you were going to do it yourself, but in the end you can only watch!"

Sha Zhu stared at him and replied, "Who said that? Tomorrow we are going to make more precious ingredients than this. I will definitely do it myself then. You can only watch."

While the two were arguing, He Daqing pushed open the door and entered the kitchen.

He saw that Sha Zhu and Nan Yi were arguing and had not even processed the ingredients.

He Daqing was so angry that he kicked each of them and told them to quickly deal with the food.

In the evening, the dinner table included braised prawns made by He Daqing himself, as well as braised pork and twice-cooked pork made by Sha Zhu and Nan Yi.

As for the sea cucumbers and abalone, there is no time to process them today, so we can only eat them next time.
