Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

The three of them came to the Xianyukou Bianyifang store. Yu Shui held He Yuzhu's hand and got down from the front bar.

She jumped on the ground, rubbed her butt with her hands, and pouted: "Brother, why do you always go to the ditches and bumps?"

He Yuzhu didn't reply to her, but Chen Xueru, who was standing next to him, blushed and secretly reached out to pinch him.

"Okay! I won't take you with me that time. Is that okay?" He Yuzhu pretended to be serious and threatened.

Yu Shui's eyes rolled, and he immediately ran towards Chen Xueru, looking up at her eagerly: "Sister Xueru, you won't leave me with you, will you!?"

Chen Xueru squatted down and rubbed her little face: "Don't listen to your brother, he will definitely take you with him."

Yu Shui smiled, turned around and made a face at He Yuzhu, then took Chen Xueru's hand and walked into the store.

After He Yuzhu locked the car, the three of them walked into the store together.

The waiter came forward enthusiastically and said in a loud voice: "Three guests, please come in!"

"Give us a single room!" He Yuzhu glanced around and said to the waiter.

"Okay!" The waiter sang in unison and led the three people through the bustling hall to a quiet seat.

He pulled aside the screen, invited the three to sit down, and handed over the menu: "What would you like to order?"

He Yuzhu pulled out a chair for Chen Xueru, took the menu, glanced at it, and handed it to Chen Xueru: "Xueru, what do you two want to eat?"

Chen Xueru smiled and shook her head, gently pushing the menu back: "Brother Zhuzi, just order it, you are better at this than us."

Yu Shui sat on the chair and nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu took the menu and asked the waiter, "Who is your chef today?"

When the waiter saw this, he replied respectfully, "Chef Luo Mingzhang is in charge of the cooking today."

He Yuzhu nodded slightly: "Two roast ducks, chicken slices in lotus sauce, and candied yam. These are for now!"

When the waiter heard that the man ordered two of Chef Luo’s best dishes, he knew he had met an expert.

"Okay, please take a seat. May I know your name?"

"He Yuzhu." He Yuzhu said, pulled out a chair and sat down.

"Wow! Master He is so famous!" Chen Xueru couldn't help teasing him when she saw him so arrogant.

He Yuzhu didn't care about it. Instead, he took the opportunity to hold Chen Xueru's hand with a smile on his face.

Chen Xueru looked at Yu Shui and saw that Yu Shui was drinking tea with his head down and did not notice what was happening here, so she felt relieved.

She glared at him and tried to pull her hand back, but failed, so she could only let him hold it.

"Yu Shui, if someone in the yard asks you about Xue Ru in the future, you have to be smart. Don't say anything you shouldn't say." He Yuzhu looked at Yu Shui who was sitting opposite him and reminded him.

Yu Shui held the teacup and took a sip. After hearing his instructions, she nodded seriously: "Brother, I understand."

"Brother Zhuzi, what's wrong with you?" Chen Xueru looked at him with some confusion.

He Yuzhu squeezed her hand and smiled: "Xueru, it's just to prevent some small actions. There are always some people who like to gossip, which is purely disgusting."

Chen Xueru was smart and understood the reason. She said coquettishly, "If I don't believe you, how can I believe the bad things others say?"

"Three people make a tiger. Some people just like to do these things. It's not that I don't believe you, but there's no need to throw stones in your shoes. It's so disgusting." He Yuzhu laughed.

As they were talking, footsteps were heard outside the screen and a waiter came in carrying a sumptuous meal.

"Here comes the dish! Master He, this is the chrysanthemum duck feet that Master Luo has prepared for you. Please enjoy it."

Looking at the dishes on the table and smelling the aroma, He Yuzhu nodded to the waiter: "Thank you, Master Luo, for my hospitality."

"Okay! I will definitely bring it to you. I hope you all will be satisfied. The roast duck will be served soon." The waiter said and walked out.

"Wow! Brother, you can even ask people to add more dishes to your meal!" Yu Shui clapped his hands and looked at He Yuzhu with admiration in his eyes.

Chen Xueru felt proud and her face was filled with smiles. She quietly stretched out her little hand to tickle his palm.

"Haha! It's just empty reputation! Let's try it first and wait for the roast duck to come up." He Yuzhu let go of her hand, picked up the chopsticks, and put food into their bowls.

"Yeah, brother, this tastes pretty good." Yu Shui smacked her lips and looked up at the other side, "But brother, when can we change the dishes? Now I eat what you bring back every day."

"It's good enough that you have something to eat, but you're still being picky here." He Yuzhu turned his head and glared at her, "In two years, I will teach you how to cook, and you can eat your own food."

"Hey, brother, you can't do this." Yu Shui begged for mercy and turned to Chen Xueru who was smiling at the side, "Sister-in-law, look at how my brother treats me."

Chen Xueru looked at Yu Shui's cute appearance and comforted her softly, "Yu Shui, don't worry. When you don't have classes, I'll pick you up and we'll eat all over the city together."

The expression on Yu Shui's face changed, and she was so happy that her teeth were showing. She clapped her hands and cheered: "Great, great, sister-in-law is still the best."

"Xue Ru, don't let her do what she wants. This little girl is very cunning." He Yuzhu joked.

Chen Xueru looked at him and reached out to hit him: "How can you say that about your own sister? I know my limits."

"My sister-in-law is so right! Brother, you can't do this." Yu Shui was busy putting the chopsticks in her hand into her mouth, and echoed Chen Xueru's words.

"Yu Shui, wait until we finish eating. I'll take you to try on the clothes I prepared for you." Chen Xueru thought of this and mentioned it to Yu Shui.

The smile on Yu Shui's face became even brighter, her eyes were full of longing, and she sat in her seat grinning foolishly.

"The roast duck is here!" As the waiter's voice sounded, today's main course was ready.

The golden roast duck was carefully placed on the plate, and the aroma filled the air, instantly bringing the atmosphere of the dinner to a climax.

The three of them sat around a table, laughing and joking, enjoying this rare warm time.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines into the conference room, and the atmosphere is solemn and serious.

Director Zhou sat in the main seat, tapping his fingers on the table, and looked around at the people present: "Comrades, the Soviet Union expert team sent by the higher-ups will arrive in five days."

As his eyes fixed on the direction of logistics, he continued, "Other arrangements have been made. Director Wan, regarding the dietary arrangements for the experts, do you have a comprehensive plan in terms of logistics?"

Wan Youcai, the director of the logistics department who was attending the meeting, heard his name being called. He frowned slightly and thought secretly in his mind.

He knew that this mission was difficult and that any carelessness might lead to unnecessary trouble. After thinking for a moment, he tentatively proposed a compromise.

"Director Zhou, I'm new here and I'm still getting familiar with the specific situation. We can consider ordering meals from external restaurants, which will save both time and effort."

Secretary Zhu, who was sitting at the top, coughed lightly and shook his head: "I think the cost is too high and it is not in line with the hard work initiative. In addition, it is difficult to guarantee that it will suit the tastes of the experts."

Wan Youcai was not disappointed when he heard that his proposal was rejected. After all, that was his purpose.

He glanced at Lu Qifu who was sitting next to him, and a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Deputy Director Lu, you have extensive experience, so you should have a way, right?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qiufu frowned slightly, then snorted coldly, knowing in his heart that Wan Youcai was pushing the trouble onto him.

The rest of the people also knew the ins and outs of this. They exchanged glances and waited to watch the fun.

"Comrade Lu, please tell us what you think. We can all speak freely!" Secretary Zhu spoke up.

Lu Qifu nodded to Secretary Zhu, thought for a moment, and said loudly: "I don't know what will suit your taste, but I can really ask the chef to come over for guidance."

"Oh, then tell me. If possible, we can call him over tomorrow to try." Secretary Zhu smiled. He didn't expect that Lu Qiufu really had a solution.

"I know the chef of Emei Restaurant, so I can invite him here first. I think everyone has heard of this restaurant." Lu Qiufu said lightly.

Director Zhou frowned, and said with concern: "Comrade Lu, this Sichuan cuisine may not be suitable."

Seeing this, Lu Qifu quickly explained: "Director, he doesn't just know how to cook Sichuan cuisine. His cooking skills have been passed down for several generations."

Upon hearing this, Director Zhou turned to look at Secretary Zhu, and seeing that he had no objection, he made the decision decisively.

"Okay, you can call and invite him later. Invite him tomorrow so we can try his cooking. If he's okay, we'll pay him well."
